OLD SWINDLE BREAKS OUT,

What seems to be revival of the
old Spanish Swindle, or rather what
seems to be an out break in a new
place has just made its appearance in
this community.
Mr.. j. w. Robinson of this communi.
ty a few months ago was in receipt OF
a letter from some person in Madrid,1
Spain, who said he was native of
Russia, but confined in prison in Mad.
rid, and that among his baggage was
check for large sum of money held by
the Spanish Court but undiscovered by
the officers. The writer offers to give
one third of this sum to Mr.. Robinson
if he will consent to assist him.
Mr.. Robinson following up the
scheme sent cablegram asking for in
structions.
He is now in receipt of the reply
which consists of long rambling hand
written letter giving in detail the
cause of his Imprisonment in Madrid
and history of the hiding of the check
| in his baggage when taken into custo-
DIV by the officers. 1t contains what
purports to be copy of the sentence OF
five wears Imprisonment which has just
1
been given him by the court.
It contains request for Mr.. Robin
son to come to Madrid at once with a
certain sum of money which will be
| sufficient to get possession OF the bag
gage and with the baggage in his
possession he will be enabled to get
possession of the check.
The letter contains detailed instruc.
lions about how to travel and who will
| meet him at Madrid and conduct MN
to the prison etc. so that there VIII Dc
no possibility Of error.
i This matter has been referred TO the
postal authorities but it seems that
fraud,,lent use of the mails cannot DE
punished in the United States when the
matter was mailed in Spain. It seems
| that Spain has no law prohibiting tne
fraudulent use of mails. Inc FoSl
office authorities warn the people
aoainst this character OF mail IRON
/ Spain and says that the country i
|, flooded with it and that about the only
effective way to combat the evil IS Z
educate the people against accepting
any of the propositions.

DISPLAYING OLD GLORY.
Should Not be Hoisted Before Sun.
rise or Left up After Sunset.

Now that many loyal Americans
are displaying the colors just to show
their allegiance during the trouble
with Mexico, few hints as to what
rules should be observed in correct
conduct toward the Stars and Stripes
may not be amiss:
Holidays when the flag should be
displayed at full staff are as follows:
Lincoln's birthday, Feb. IL; Wash
ington's birthday, Feb. %; battle of
Lexington, April 10; Memorial Day,
May 80. Flag Day, June IA; battle of
Bunker Hill, June II; independence
Day, July 4: battle of Saratoga, Oct.
IT; surrender of Yorktown, Oct. 10;
Evacuation Day, Nov. 25.
Other rules are given as follows:
On Memorial Day the flag should
fly at half staff from sunrise to noon
and full staff from noon to sunset.
To show respect for the flag it
should be hoisted before sunrise or
allowed to remain up after sunset.
At retreat sunset civilian spec
tators should stand at attention
and uncover during the display of the
flag. Military spectators are required
to stand at attention" and give the
military salute. During the playing
of the national hymn at retreat" the
flag should be lowered, but not allow
ed to touch the ground.
When the national colors are pas
sing on parade or in review the spec
tator, if walking, should halt, and
if sitting, rise and stand attention
and uncover.
When the national and state or
other flags fly together, the national
flag should be on the right.
When the flag is down at half staff
as a sign of mourning it should be
hoisted to full staff at the conclusion
of the funeral.
The national salute is one gun in
every state. The International salute
under the laws of nations is q guns.
Legislation to preserve the Ameri-
can flag from dissertation, mutilation
or improper use has been passed by
81 states and three territories.

FORM FAIR ASSOCIATION
Rainy River District to Organize Ag-
ricultural Society According to
: Farmers Club and Trade Board.
PLAN TO ERECT BUILDINGS

-z : . II
Initial steps for the organizing Of
a fair association for the Rainy River
district of Beltrami county have been
taken by the Border Farmers club
and the Baudette Board Of Trade.
. A committee composed of c. R..
Middleton as chairman, John Norris
of Williams, T. J. Williams, Rev. T.
w. Howard, Ole j. Olson and w. T..
Noonan was appointed to draft the
articles of incorporation and to re-
port at a general. meeting for the final
organization of the association Mr..
Middleton will have the articles
ready in a few weeks, when the as
ISOLATION will become an accomplish
ed fact
The Baudette business men were
congratulated for their success in
keeping the fair going for several
years at an annual expense of seven
or eight hundred dollars, but the
farmers and others present felt it
was time to branch out into an assoc
citation and make the fair one on big
ger and better lines than ever.
1t is the intention to eventually
erect suitable buildings, have a race
course and everything that goes
with an, up-to-date fair.

SPUDS UNDER new LAW
Net Weight Of Contents of Sack
Must Be Shown Says Secre-
rotary Of Agriculture.
STEVENSON WAS QUESTIONED

Of interest to local potato dealers
is a recent Interpretation of the Fed
eral law which provides that pota-
toes sold in the open market in sacks
and bags or in any package form,
must bear on the outside Of the pack
age the quantity of contents.
The question was recently present
ed to Congressman STEVENSON, as %
whether or not the act included the
sacking of potatoes in the field, as
we'll as other food products which
are almost necessarily handled in
sacks and bags in the operation of
marketing. Mr.. STEVENSON immedi-
ately called upon the secretary of ag-
riculture for a ruling. Under date
of Sept. 16, the department stated as
follows:
"The question as to whether GER
tain article constitutes food in pack
age form within the meaning of the
ucL Wc1SuL law Is d. 4ucSClOu VI Id W.
which can only be finally determined
by the courts. In the opinion of the
secretary of agriculture, however,
potatoes in sacks are food in pack
age form within the meaning of the
law, and should be marked with the
quantity of the contents in accord
ance with the regulations. However,
the committee in charge of the en-
forcement- of this law is trying to Sc
cure a ruling that. where sacks are
used as a container for convenience
in loading cars, and where sales are
made in accordance with the railway
company's weight figures for the en-
tire car, it would be unnecessary to
mark the net weight on each sack.
However, fair as such ruling might
be, it is impossible now to state whe-
Their such a decision will eventually
be made"

MAY STOP BASKETBALL ! ( ! /
Failure of Club Members to Assist in
Incorporating Likely to Cause
Loss Of Athletic Hall.
LARGE MEETING URGED TONIGHT.

Few members of the Bemidji Ath-
letic club realize that this city may
be without a basketball Iquint this
winter. There is a strong possibility
of this being the case unless there
is a large attendance at the meeting
of the organization which II to be
held this evening".
Tomorrow the lease of the Athletic
club hall will run out audit will not
be re-rented by the board of control
unless action is taken at the meeting
tonight which will cause the club to
incorporate as a social corporation.
AS conditions now exist the RESPONSE
bility of the hall rent andsall liabili-
ties rest upon the five members of the
board of control.
Without hall for practice and
for contests, the formation Of a bas-
ketball team would be impossible and
the game which has become SO po-
pular in Bemidji during the past sew
eral years, will be allowed to die, in
sofar as this city is concerned. In
view of the fact that Bemidji can
place team in the field this year,
capable of competing for the worlds
championship, it seems shameful to
allow the opportunity to go by de-
fault.
There are over two hundred mem
bers of the club and att least one
hundred, represented in person.or BY
proxy, should be at the meeting to-
night. The Athletic club is credit
to Bemidji and every effort should
be extended to assist in it's growth
and expansion, instead of permitting
it to pass out of existence.

SAYS BEMIDJI IS BEST.
W. O. Newman Disappointed With
Florida Conditions.

That Bemidji is good enough for
him, is the message sent to J. H.
Wynne, custodian at the court house,
by W. o. Newman, of this city, who
recently went to Lantana, Florida,
to reside. In his letter Mr.. New
man advises Mr.. Wynne not to pur-
chase land in that vicinity, and
comments on the price Of foodstuffs,
a few of which as given by him are,
butter, "A cents per pound; bacon,
IS cents; pork, 40 cents; potatoes,
40 cents a peck; milk, Is cents a
quart, and eggs, As cents a dozen.
He also tells Mr.. Wynne that he is
seriously considering coming back
to Bemidji soon or that he may visit
California before returning. He
says: II would not go out in the
Everglades for any money"

PLANT ROAD GRADE TO CLOVER
spooner News Suggestion of Several
Weeks Ago Meets With Approval.

In an issue of several weeks ago the
Spooner Northern News suggested
that the grade along Judicial Ditch
No. 13 be seeded to clover, and since
that time the scheme has met with
much approval. Among those who
have contributed to the planting Of
clover are George Ericsson, o. L. Dent,
ditch referee, NJ D. Weeks and James
L. George, county auditor, who
wrote: 81 have just read the article
in the News regarding sowing of
clover on the line of Ditch No. IS. It
is a good idea and am in $500 on
the impulse of the movement. We
can not have too much clover, and
the seed that was sent up to that sec
ton in 1911 I am sure has produced
good results. would be willing to
contribute $500 towards the same
end on every ditch constructed.

.FORES TRY BOARD TO

Meeting Held at Douglas Lodge Yes

Elk Increasing in Number and Deer
HoFe=P1ehtiful Than Ever State

Better protection for big game Of
the state park at Lake Itasca was
one of the topics given much con-
sideration at the meeting of the state
forestry board which was held at
Douglas lodge yesterday. Although
the day was damp and rather dis
agreeable, the six members Of the
board and the association service Of
zicers enjoyed the trip.
Protection Necessary.
It has been the aim of the associa-
ton to protect game within the linn
it's Of the park, strict observance Of
the rule has not been enforced, but
in the future, by adding several en-
iployes, every law will be carried out
and all huntsmen who violate the
regulations will be prosecuted to the,
full extent of the law.
Big Game Now Plentiful.
Big game was never more plentiful
at the park than now is the case.
The seven hundred acres enclosed
plot used for the elk which were
placed there some time ago, also in
cludes large number of deer which
were within the eight-foot fence
when it was erected. Both the deer
and elk of the large pasture are in-
creasing in number and it is believed
that there are at least twenty elk at
the park.
A scheme for the purpose of wiping
out the wolves will be devised. These
troublesome animals are numerous
at the park and system of trapping
and poisoning will be used in dispos-
ing of them.
Takes Great Interest.
The state is fortunate in having
such a man as Teddy Weggman in
charge of the big game. He has been
at the park for several years and
takes great interest in the care of the
animals. He has been known to risk
his own life that a deer might be
saved and on one occasion he was ac-
tua1ly hunted by several men who
were indignant at his continued in
sistance that they discontinue hunt
ing within the confines of the park.
Was Regular Meeting.
At the meeting yesterday were
board members A. G.. Wedge. of Be
midi, Dean Woods, President Scott,
Gutenberg, O'Neil and Williams. The
session was also attended by William
T. Cox, state forester, Dillon P. Tier
ney, assistant state forester, and Phil
H. Hanson, executive assistant. Such
meetings are held every three or four
months and the session yesterday
was held at Itasca in order that the
board might more satisfactorily in
vestigate the needs and magnitude
OF improvements there.
Small Income for State.
Until this year the Douglas lodge
and the cottages have been conducted
by men paid by the state, but this
year new plan was inaugurated
uhnrnhv fha mana garments navS for
the privilege of operating the lodge
for transients. This plan makes 8
difference of about $1,000 a year in
the cost of operation.

Immediate Benefit.

The state lands that are unfit for
farming are in part cut-over, in part
coming up to sapling pine, and the
remainder is still virgin timber. This
condition makes it possible to get
immediate benefits to the school fund
by the establishment Of state forests
under the provisions of Amendment
No. 8; and as the forests are i'm
proved by care and proper use the
revenues will constantly increase.
There should be an end to old way of
ruthlessly destroying the forests on
lands which are of use for nothing
else. This can be done by the people
by passing the State Forests Amend
ment on November 3. Not to vote
at all, is to vote against this measure
