SUPERIOR TRIMS
BEMIDJI ATHLETICS
In Hardest Fought Basketball Con-
test Of Season Visitors Are Re
turned Winners By 10 to 10
DECIDING BATTLE THIS EVENING
Each Quint Has Now Won Game
Local Players Were Entirely Out
Tucked Bradley Plays

Entirely out tucked and out played
at times during the contest is prac-
tically the only explanation to be
given for the defeat of the Bemidii
Athletics in their game with the Sup.
erior Y. M. E. A. quint last evening
The final score was 10 to Il.
Seldom is basketball played
as it was last night The SUP.
erior boys were set in their deter
mination to win the contest, and at
times their conduct contradicted the
good impression they had made on
the evening of the first contest Last
evenings game was rough from the
start, and in several instances play
ers were thrown heavily to the floor
by their opponents.
Cook A Star ~.-..
Forward Cook of the visitors was
last nights star. Playing while suf.
fering from a painful injury his
basket shooting was sensational, and
four times he was able to connect
Bradley the much praised Superior
athlete was able to secure but two
points during the contest, but his
work on the floor was fast, and his
presence in the game undoubtedly
had much to do with the victory. A
basket by Brandon in the first half
was the games chief feature.
Captain Johnson for Superior miss
ed only one free throw from foul
and five times was he able to add
mates ~ ~. -. -vs ~
Neumann Makes Hit
During his five years of basket
ball never has Neumann, at Centre
for Bemidji, played stronger game
He was able to more than hold his
own with Erickson, the Superior
crack and had the jump on his op-
ponent during the entire game. Howe
and Brandon at forwards had hard
luck in shooting baskets and re-
peatedly would the oval jump out OF
the basket after a score seemed GER
tain. Neither Bestul nor Peck were
able to connect. Neuman and Bran
don were the only point getters for
Bemidji, the former securing eight
points. e. .
The guarding of Solheim and John
son was good, and rarely was Benz
idji man able to try for basket un-
guarded. .... ~a@

held in June if the association selects
Spooner as the place for the next

George E. Ericsson, Of the editorial

sons for holding the outing at

its annual business meeting in Lit
tie Falls Friday and Saturday Of next
week, the 10th and 18th insts.

tain that we will be able to give the
boys and girls the time of their

having the big steamer "Kenora" for
a special trip on Lake of the Woods,
a trip that could not be duplicated
for SIS per passenger. The people
of Rainy River, Kenora and Baudette
are behind spooner in asking for the
outing, and the 'Canucks' will vie

come" .r.a o..
Several Wanted Outing
At the annual outing of the edi-
torial association held at Bemidji last
summer, Park Rapids, Akeley and
Spooner extended invitations for next
summers outing. It was decided to
leave the selection of the city until
the annual business meeting which
will he held at Little Falls next
week. Since that time, G. F. Scheers,
on behalf Of Akefey has withdrawn
the name of this town. Whether
Park Rapids will renew its invita-
ton is not known at this time. The
association held an outing at Park
Rapids and Itasca State Park, three
years ago, and such cordial treatment
and excellent entertainment was
given the visiting editors and their
wives that a very kindly feeling is
held towards that city. However, it
seems very likely that spooner will
will be selected as the outing place
for this year.
A Large Meeting. >.
Secretary Rutledge says he has
every reason to believe that atten-
dance at the meeting to be held at
Little Falls will exceed that of any
previous business meeting, Judging
from letters he has received from
members stating that they would be
present.
Everything is in readiness to give
the editors splendid time. The pro-
gram is an exceedingly interesting
one, and dt is expected that the as
sociation will go on record as favor
ing several matters of statewide i'm
portance.

Land As Good As Any.

affairs in this state" he said, "lant
that was considered worthless a few
years ago has now been proved equal
if not superior, to land in such states
as Illinois, Indiana, Michigan ant
even Iowa, and all We need is a fai
land policy properly administered t.
bring this about.
Il believe from my acquaintance
with Northern Minnesota, that it il
the uncontradicted statement of bust
ness men in general that we neef
Minnesota money to develop this rap
idly growing section of the state
They appreciate as we'll as anybod,
that vast amount Of Minnesota
money is tied up in southern bond!
and that the interests of all the PEG
pie demand that these bonds be dis
posed Of in such way that this mon
ey will come back home.
"There will be before the people
this fall proposed amendment u
the constitution which provides TO,
revolving fund Of $25O,0OO. This
money is intended to be used t.
improve state lands, thereby secur.
ing for the state a much better price
the improvements, than II
now receives, placing on the tax lists
property that is now bringing no rev.
enue to the state, and providing gooC
homes for men with families who
need them the most. Other states
are doing this and it seems to me
that the state of Minnesota can bet.
ter use its moneys by investing them
at home and improving it's own re
sources and property than by loan.
ing it to other states at a very low
rate of interest.
Should Invest Money at Home.
''The state is rich enough to loar
it's money to outside states; why, the1
is it not rich enough to help it's owr
people?
"The farmer, as l see it, must nee.
essarily come from the laboring class
The wage Garner of today, whether
he is a salaried man or a common
laborer, uses his money every month
in taking care of his family. He ha.
no means of going out and making
home in the way I have stated.
''The people of this northern sec
ton of the state do not appreciaI,
this wonderful benefit that the iroI
development of this section has beer
to them as a market, for this devel
opment has brought a wonderful
market right to their very doors, ant
l believe it will continually increas'
instead of diminish, and will give t,
the producer the best returns for hi
labor which can be obtained in an,
market in the world. What this stat
needs more than anything at pres
ent is to adopt the slogan, DO l
Now, and bring about business-lik
development which will help all sec
tions of the state, as improving north
ern Minnesota means placing untol'
thousands of untaxed property on tn
tax lists and thereby reducing tn
high tax rate which now prevails il
