FARMERS CLUBS LIVE ONES
No Other Section Shows as Much In
terest as Northern Minnesota

That the farmers club in this Sec
ton of the state are leaders in the
boosting and cooperative movement
was evidenced. at the monster meet
ing held i'm the high school building
Saturday. Two of the clubs selected
speakers to represent them. In J. G.
MoGhee of Eckles and A. P. Richie
of Grant Valley they were truly rep
resented. These men know the needs
of the farmer as well as anybody and
they know how to tell them. From
their statements the merchants
learned much that will be necessary
to effect better cooperation from
their standpoint. 1t is hoped that
more such talks will be heard from
these same clubs as we'll as others so
successfully organized.

Attention of those owning fish

TOLL BATTLE ORATORICAL
Opposing Members in House Discuss
Sims Measure Underwood, Fitz-
gerald and Other Leaders Busy
FIGHT ADMINISTRATION FORCES

Washington, March 3O.-The legisla-
tive battle over the repeal of the free
tolls provision of the Panama canal
act was renewed in the house, where
administration supporters, flushed by
their victory in the opening contest,
were jubilantly predicting that they
would win when a vote is had on the
repeal bill ITSELF
The contest in the house was
largely of the oratorical character, al
though administration supporters con-
tinued their efforts to strengthen their
forces for the final struggle, which is
expected to occur Tuesday or Wednes-
day.
When consideration of the repeal
bill was resumed many members for
and against the proposition were pre-
pared to discuss it. .s
Representative Underwood, major
ity leader, Representative Fitzgerald,
Minority Leader Mann, and other
prominent members leading the, revolt
against the administration forces
brought every effort to bear against
the bill. Representative Sims, the au-
thor. was one of the days speakers.
Sims Charges Bad Faith.
In his speech Representative Sims,
father of the Panama canal tolls re-
peal BILL argued that the United
States will act in bad faith if it ex-
empts coastwise shipping.
"The very fact that the coastwise
shipping interests made no claim that
their ships were not included in the
equal treatment terms of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty pending the nego-
tiations of the treaty. he said, cor
subsequent thereto is the highest cir
cumstantial evidence that they did not
so understand the terms of the treaty
themselves"
why should not nations as well as
individuals be governed by the Cold
en- Rule2" he pleaded. How are we
to build up our foreign trade if we at
the same time so demean ourselves
toward other nations as to give them
cause to complain that we are selfish
and greedy; that we are driver Of
hard bargains; that we are narrow,
illiberal and picayunish."
Scouts Cowardce Charge.
Sims secuted charges that the pres.
ident was guilty of cowardly and trea-
sonable conduct in an attempt to sur
render rights of American citizens.
1T is notifying and humiliating to
know that members of his own party
are guilty of making this CHARGE" the
speaker continued. IF our president
is as bad a man as these charges can
make him, no self-respecting member
of the house so believing can ever
again cross the threshold of the White
House to pay his respects to the presi-
dent of the United States"
He declared the tolls plank of the
Baltimore platform was nullifed by
the major plank which called for fos-
tering a merchant marine without
imposing additional burdens upon the
people and without bounties and sub
sides from the government treasury"
The exemption, he claimed, was equal
to payment of subsidies.

of useless; it will make for gain ra-
ther than for loss; it will imply pros
perity instead of pauperism; it will
uplift and ennoble instead of tending
to undermine and degrade"
"Col. Goethals has demonstrated
what the army can do,'' the Pennsyl-
vanian added. IF under his direc-
tion a canal could be built at Panama,
is there any reason to doubt that un-
der like direction railroads can be
built in Alaska and rivers and har-
bors improved here at homer"

ONION GROWERS EXPAND
Business Men and Farmers Alike
Join Association to Boost Local
Cash Market Shares Sold
ENLARGE PRESENT WAREHOUSE

With view of securing a cash
market for the produce brought in by
the farmers, Bemidji business men
and farmers alike have subscribed
for considerable stock in the Bemidji
Onion Growers association during the
past few days and as a result Bemidji
will now have one of the best cash
markets in the northwest
This association was organized
about year ago by five farmers and
the business done during that time
is more than gratifying to
it's members To John Lunn belongs
much of the credit of the associa-
ton, he having been it's manager,
shipping clerk, office boy and chief
packer, for which he received no re-
muneration whatsoever.
The association found no trouble
in finding market and could have
easily shipped from two to four hun
dred cars of produce more than was
done had the farmers brought in the
vegetables.
All vegetables brought in must he
graded and nothing but standardiz-
ed goods will be shipped out. The
demand for Bemidji grown vegetables
has already developed to such an ex.
tent that it will be years. before the
present demand can be supplied, and
with the constant increase the farm.
ers are urged to grow lots of vege.

Run Two Shifts
AS in the past two shifts, both day
and night, will be worked this year,
employing more than four hundred
men.
During the winter all machinery
of the mill has been overhauled and
repaired and when the first log is
padsed through the large band saw
Wednesday morning it will be prac-
tically as though through a new es-
! Establishment. Special care is made
for the protection of the workman
and safety devices are provided
throughout the mill.
Mufflers on Exhausts
One of the improvements which
has been made is the placing of muf-
! flers on the large exhausts pipes
which formerly could easily be heard
| in Bemidji when the mill was in op-
Grafton.
Work Progressing
| Work on the new mill is being
pushed with all possible haste and is
expected to be ready for operation
sometime during June as had been
planned.

words Mr.. Bofferding opened his talk
on seeds.
He outlined the advantages in
careful seed selection and recited
many experiences Of gard ners, show
ing that some seed will produce well
on certain soil while other seed will
not produce.
He urged the growing Of flowers
fol. identifying the homes and farm
surroundings, giving as his reasons
that the back to the farm movement
depended largely upon how homelike
and inviting you make the farm. He
then invited his listeners to ask
him any questions regarding seeds.
He was not disappo inted, as many o.
the farmers wanted to know various
things about seeding, all Of the ques-
tions being answered satisfactorily. I
Discusses Marketing
A. G.. Boyce discussed the market
gardening problem. Mr.. Boyce is a
market gardener near Minneapolis,
having one of the largest and best
known farms in the state. He said

until 1 find out what you want me
to say. The way am going ito find
out is by asking you to ask me ques-

Wanted Questions, Got Them
And the way the questions came
wasn't slow. Our friend John Lunn
was loaded to the hilt and he COM
menced the rapid fire work. Then
! followed dozen others. Here is
where Mr.. Boyce proved that he is
a real farmer. He had the questions
answered quicker than you could

THE TELEPHONE GIRL

The telephone girls are held in high
esteem in Ocala. not for the reason
that they hold SO many secrets, but
because they are so uniformly patient.
particular and painstaking.
Their popularity was shown on
Christmas day. when many OF the
patrons of the Office made up a purse
of gold and presented it to them as
a gift from Santa Claus
Speaking of the telephone girl, one
of our exchanges IS moved to say that
from day to day she sits in her chair
and listens to voices from every
where. She knows who is happy and
who has the blues; she knows all our
sorrows; she knows all our joys; she
knows every girl that is chasing the
boys; she knows of our troubles: she
knows of our strife; she knows every
man who is mean TO his wife: she
knows every time we are out with the
boys; she hears the excuses every fel-
low employs; in fact there's a secret
meath each saucy curl of that quiet,
demure-looking telephone girl. If the
telephone girl would tell all she
knows it would turn all our friends
into bitterest foes; she would SOW
small wind that would soon be a gale,
engulf us in trouble and land US in
Jail; she would let go her story which
gaining in force) would cause half
our wives to sue for divorce; she
would get all the churches mixed up
IN fight, and turn all days into sor.
row and night; in fact, she could keep
the whole town in a stew if she told
a tenth of the things she knew. Now,
don't it set your head in whirl when
you think what you owe the telephone
girl?

Mr.. Pendergast's ostentatious
