MISS RUTH LAMBE DEAD
Popular Young Woman Dies at Her
Grand Forks Home.

Bemidji friends of Miss Ruth
Lambe, of Grand Forks, learn with
regret of her death, which took place
at the home of her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. J. H. Lambe, yesterday. The
Grand Forks Herald says: "Miss
Lambe, who has been i'll since Sep
tember, died yesterday at the family
residence on SIS North Seventh
street, from an attack of diabetes.
The young lady, who was a graduate
of the high school last year and who
was to have entered the state univer-
sity at the opening sessions this year,
had many friends among the younger
set. Miss Lambe was active in
church work and a teacher in st.
Marks Sunday school," Miss Lambe
has spent her summers at Grand
Forks Bay, Bemidji, for several
years, and had charge of the cutters
column of the Pioneer each year. She
was in Bemidji two weeks ago, her
condition then not being regarded as
serious, although she was unable to
continue her University studies.

CUTLER IS WINNER.

Charles Cutler, we'll known in Be-
midi and for time a resident here.
but now of Chicago. defeated Jess
Westergaard, of Des Moines, in Du-
luth last night in two straight falls.
Cutler won by superior weight and
speed. The affair was a whirlwind,
both going after blood from the
jump. The first fall came in Sc min
utes with leg grapevine and a bar
lock, and the. second came in one
minute, when he rushed his oppon-
ent, secured a flying hold and quickly
shifted to a bar lock and body hold
that won the match. Cutler entered
the ring weighing 231, while Wester-
gard tipped the scales at 212. Cut
ler used the hammerlock effectively
during the earlier stages of the bout
Twice he had big Jess near a fall
but sheer strength saved him. Wes-
tergaard used the toe hold effectively
a dozen times: but was unable to
push his advantage. 3.

Christmas programs in the various
school rooms of Bemidji today were
attended and enjoyed by many.
Christmas carols were sung and not

With large array of legal talent
the Cass county contest for sherifl

In Wesley McTaggart, the nine
teen-year-old son of George McTag-
gart, Bemidji has found an inventor.

Taggart has always found time to ex-
pertinent with various forms of ma
chinery, electricity and engines. For
a time it was his mother sewing ma
chine that called his attention. its
parts always being in the stages of
when most needed.
Then his fathers launch engine went
through an overhau1ing about every
other day. ia.
+ i Drawing tired of the more simple
principles of mechanism, a desire
grew upon him to perfect wireless
telegraph instrument, and after. two
years of continual experimenting he
has been rewarded. - ..=,s.-- : = ~ : - -
Wesley now has an apparatus in
operation, running between his. fath-
er's farm home at Turtle Lake to the
Turtle River depot, where Agent r.
M. Remey. has installed an instru-
ment,. The machines have been in
stalled and messages have been sue
cessfully sent, Remey receiving his
first several days ago. Asrgyet the
agent can only receive, his sending
apparatus not having arrived. He
takes message, writes it and then
sends it to Wesley by rural free de-
livery The distance the message
travels is six miles. 49,
The cone spindle, one of the most
complicated parts of the entire sys-
tenn, was made by McTaggart, and
has been built as only an expert
could duplicate.
The boy is also a good operator
and his knowledge of the wireless is
quite extensive. He devotes almost
all of his spare moments to the study
of electricity.
1t would cost $40O to install sys-
tenn similar to the one McTaggart
and Remey have in operation. . It
can successfully send messages fifty
miles.

London, Dec. 1S.-In the western
arena of the war, especially in Elan
ders, tho roles of the contending ar
mics appear to have reversed com
pletely. All the recent official com
munications, issued by both the allies
and the Germans, refer to the allied
offensive from the River Lys to the
sea, indicating the Germans In this
region are on the defensive. %
The French statement says thal
between the sea and the River Lys
the allies have occupied several Ger
man trenches at the point of the bay

their positions at Lombaertyzde and

territory taken from the enemy to

also claim progress in the region Of

Bemidji should, and undoubtedly
will, show interest TN the meeting
Of the potato growers which is to be
held at the University Farm, st.
Paul, at 1880 p. M, January 2. The
session promises to be one of great
importance to the industry and be-
cause Of this fact it is probable. that
Bemidji will send at least one dele

day, that he is heartily in favor of
the movement and is lending what
support he, can. Otto Bergh, super
intendent at the North-Central Ex-

also active in it's behalf.
The gathering will be one of q
series Of conferences held during the

At the meeting of the potato grow
ers It is expected that a statewide
potato growers association will be
formed. The aim of this association
will be to standardize the varieties
of potatoes in Minnesota, and to
throw up defenses against potato dis
seases. A representative Of the Wis
consin Potato Growers association,
which~sha done immense service to
the industry in Wisconsin, will be
present to outline the work in his
state, where many communities grow
the same variety, thus enabling the
farmers to ship in car lots, making
saving in freight charges and in
creasing their profits. u

The potato industry means much
to the farmers of Bemidji and they
should lend every possible assistance

the boosting of prices.
