METHODIST SPECIAL
 SERVICES CONTINUED

The meetings at the Methodist church will be continued from Monday to Friday of another week. The general subject thus far has been the Apostles Creed. During the coming week, except on Wednesday night when Rev. White. of the Episcopal church will have charge, the subjects will be those on which Method ism has placed special emphasis; such as Justification by Faith, Regeneration, and the Witness of the Spirit. Methodism was not in lCs origin a new system of theology but a revival of expert religion. Its special pur- pose is to transform the Chris tian's faith from a theory to a life; from a belief that Jesus Christ came to save the race to the assurance that he saves me" Respectfully we raise the question, Do you know your sins forgiven? Earnestly i've beseech you. Be ye recociled to God"

SUPREME COURT
 GIVES NEW RULING

Supreme court uDholds decision of lower court in case of Dun seath against the city of Tucson for damages.
 Judgement of the superior court of Pima county was upheld last Tuesday in the state supreme court, snd James R. Dunseath of Tucson may collect $233 51 from the city of Tucson, damages for which he sued in the superior court.
 The case is of especial interest to the state in that it IS the first decision ever handed down by an Arizona supreme court. state or territory. which defines the right of citizens to protect thelr prop erty against the encroachment of city government.
 Dunseath filed his suit against the city of Tucson. contending that damages had been done to his premises. especially to his cellar, by water flowing from city ditches which flooded his property. The superior court de- cided in his favor. and the city took an appeal. In the supreme court it was decided that Dun- seath was damaged to the extent awarded him by the lower tribu- nal, and the decision of the su- perior court was sustained. Re publican.

fuses To Let Basketball Team Play
As Punishment for Action
NO GAME HERE THIS WEEK

There will be no basketball game
in Bemidji this week, w. P. Dyer,
superintendent of the Bemidji
schools having received a request
from Superintendent Freeman Of
the Grand Rapids high school that
Bemidji not play the game.
All arrangements for the game
had been made, and not until Mr..
Freeman's request was made known
to Coach Bestul was he aware that
there would be no contest. The po-
sition taken by the Grand Rapids
superintendent is caused by the at
stitude which the boys .of that city
have shown concerning athletics this
year, and it is intended to act as a
punishment. .-1
Superintendent Dyer says that he
will not allow any of the high school
boys to play, should the Grand Rap
ids team be brought here, for the
visitors would not be playing as rep
resentatives of the high school of
that city. .....- .rrs'
This means that there will be no

STATE MAY BUILD
MODEL VILLAGE
Minnesota League Of Municipalities
Plans for Novel Experiment
Would be Under Ideal Conditions
GAINESVILLE Is PLACE. CHOSEN
Other Cities May Follow-All De-
partments of Village Would Be
Operated by Late Methods

A perfect village, to be model
for Minnesota, is to be built if the
plans of the planning committee of
the Minnesota League of Municipal
titles adopted at a meeting held in
Minneapolis yesterday materialize.
GAINESVILLE, Mimi, has been tenta-
lively selected as the place for the
experiment.. The plans contemplate
ed an up to date sewer and water
system, an efficient fire department,
better sanitary conditions, a system
of parks and everything that would
make a village an ideal place for a
home. J. E. jerks of St. Cloud,
president of the State League of
Municipalities; Mayor Nye, chair
man of the committee on planning
the extension bureau Of the state
university, and university officials
attended the conference.
University to Aid in Plan
GAINESVILLE is being considered as
the place for the experiment, be-
cause it is contemplating the con-
struction of a sewer system and is
planning general improvements. Fa-
Guilty members of the state univer-
sity would be called upon to plan
the village of GAINESVILLE. The en-
cheering department would draw
the plans for the sewer and water
system, the health division would
lay down the rules and regulations
for the improvement of sanitary con-
ditions, and the extension bureau
would plan a system of parks and
boulevards.
Citizen representing GAINESVILLE
had stated that the village would be
willing to follow the plans for a
model village to reasonable extent
In case the plans 60 through the
state league will be able to- point
TO GAINESVILLE as model village and
in that way, it is believed, other
communities will be induced to i'm
prove their own conditions.
Plan Obviates Difficulties
1.-THE identifying of the villages of
the state is one of the purposes of
the state league" said the mayor to-
day. "Villages are handicapped in
improving themselves because Of the
lack of authority and lack of funds.
The model village suggested itself
when representative from James,
willie at the last league meeting ask
ed how that village could hire an
expert to plan it's sewer system. Some
one told him to hire one. 1t then
developed that village had no au-
thorlty to hire an engineer"
The plans for the model village
will suit not only GAINESVILLE, but will
be SO drawn that, with few changes
they can be adapted to any COM
munity in the state.
