FARMERS INVITED TO ATTEND

After one of the most successful
years since it's organization, the an
nual meeting of the Beltrami County
Agricultural society will be held in
the rooms of the Bemidji Comm ercial
club on the afternoon of December 1.
Charles Schroeder, who during the
past several years has been the eff
cient and hard working secretary of
the association, this morning said
that the farmers, business men and
all others interested are not only in
vited, but urged to attend the meet
ing and to offer suggestions and re
commentators for the improv ement
OF the fair --sa-
At the meeting there will be an
election Of officers. The present Of
ficials are: A. P White, president;
F. S. Arnold and A. P. Richie, vice
presidents; G. F. Schroeder, secretary,
and R. H. Schumacher, treasurer.
Matters pertaining to the fair of
next fall will also be discussed and
the proposition Of new buildings and
ground improvements brought up.
The fair this year demonstrated that
the present building facilities are
not sufficient to properly care for the
many displays. Should new struc-
ture be erected it will in all proba-
bility be one for the school and do
nestle manufactured exhibits. This
would leave the large building to be
used for agricultural products only.

Under ordinary circumstances, the

tangled up in a bewildering mass of

perplexity for the bill that comes
from committee, and goes home rath-

There is opportunity this time for
members of the legislature to express
themselves in something more than
good intentions. They will be able
to adopt plan, which will make
practical economy feasible in thou
sand different ways. They will have
this before them in the report of the
Efficiency Commission, all ready for
consideration, ready to be enacted

If the legislature wishes to move

Voters Did Not End It.
Economy talk won't end with the
election this time. 1t will be worked
out in practical measure for accom-

sincere purpose to do something for
economy will not be baked this time

SCHOOL BOARD AIDS QUINT
High School Basketball Team to Be
Given Armory Hall for Practice
and Games Athletics Strong.
TITLE PROSPECTS ENCOURAGING

| Basketball, as are all other lines
of clean athletics, is to be encour-
aged by the Bemidji Board of Edu-
cation and at meeting held yes
terday afternoon it was voted to Sc
cure the Armory hall for the High
School team. This plan was
made possible by the Bemidji Basket
ball association, which consented to
allow the school boys to use the floor.
The students will be given privilege
to practice five afternoons of each
week and play their games in the
hall. - =.
Under present plans the basketball
season this year will be one of much
interest, as both the city and high
school teams are to be of champion
ship calibre in their respective
classes. 5a: r. -s..sr. = .-., r. -.
The first practice of the city team
was held last evening and prospects
could not possibly be made more en-
couraging. Each place on the quint
is to be holly contested for and to
gain a position a player will find it
necessary to force himself to the
limit.
Practically the entire champion
ship five of last year are again trying
for places, and some excellent new
material has reported for practice.
Jacobson, who starred in former years
on the gridiron and basketball floor
at Carleton college, and during the
past two years with the Athletics,
will coach and play, then there are
Brandon, Howe, Peck, Bestul and
Bell, each one brilliant performer.
In addition there will be Trafton,
who gained prominence as basket
ball player at Drake college, being
rated as an all-state guard.
Center appears to be the only weak
point of the five and there is pos
sibility that Leo Griffith may be in
duced to return to the game. Crit

ANNOUNCE IR AIN CHANGE
Great Northern Railroad Decides to
Discontinue Sunday Trains Be-
ueen Grand Forks and Duluth.
PLAN MAY BE ONLY TEMPORARY

Sunday Great Northern passenger
trains No. So, leaving BemiUi at
3:17 in the afternoon for Grand
Forks, and No. 81. leaving Bemidji at
1903 noon for DuIuth ha4e been
discontinued. This VS. the an
nouncement made by w w Lloyd.
agent at the Great Northern depot
here this morning.
This change iap.the-R amidi II service
is q result of sweeping revision of
the railroad time tables which have
been made during the past few
weeks. Two plans were considered
In making change in the Duluth
Grand Forks run, one being to oper-
ate the trains to Minot instead of
Grand Forks, and the other to dis
continue the Sunday passenger, the
latter scheme meeting with the APP
proval of the officials.
According to Mr.. Lloyd, the change
is only. temporary and the Sunday
passenger will be replaced as soon as
business warrants. Credence is given
the announcement as several of the
best paying trains on the main line of
the road have been pulled off, to be
again placed in operation in the
spring, or as soon1as business condi-
tons improve.
The change will not only rob Be-
midi OF its Sunday day trains to Du-
luth and Grand Forks, but will make
the city's mail service less con-
venient.
