Basket Shooting One of Contests
Features D. Bradley To streng-
then Y. n. E. A. This Evening.

In a game replete with sensational
basket shooting and exciting NOM
ents, the Bemidji Athletics last nigat
defeated the strong Y. M. E. A. quint
in the first of a three-game series,
by a 25 to 20 score on the Athletic
club floor.
Never has Bemidji basketball
team fought harder or been more de-
serving of victory. With Captain
Brandon, Howe, Neumann, Bestul
and Peck playing the game in un-
beatable form, the visitors were
completely outclassed in the first
half, the score being II to six. That
Bestul and Brandon might be saved
for the game this evening, two sub
|stitutes, Bailey and Bell, were put
in the game at the beginning of the
second half, and the visitors were
able to chalk up IA counts, while the
est Bemidji could secure was 8.
Howe the Games Star.
While every one of the Bemidji
boys were partially responsible for
the victory, Paul Howe, playing at
forward for Bemidji, must be voted
the star of the contest. This little
player was in the game every min
ute, and where the ball was, there
was likely to be found Howe. His
basket shooting was exceptional. He
was able to connect with four bas-
kets, and not one was from an easy
position. Bestul secured the first
basket of the game when he made
most sensational throw from near the
center of the. floor. During the pc
ried he was in the game his playing
was one of the features. Neumann,
Peck and Brandon played their usual
strong game. 80 -. .s
Bradley To Play.
The Superior boys are confident
that they will be able to win the
games tonight and tomorrow night.
Dick Bradley, captain and forward,
will be in the remaining games and
with his assistance much is expected
Bradley is considered an exceptional
basket ball player. The visiting
team is made up of athletes who play
the game for the love of the sport,
and because they enjoy it. Fouls N

 s This sensational feature is a story of the t'Dr. Jeky1l and MT. Hyde'' class. There is an old saying which runs som ething like this, There is a
 Divinity that shapes our endss rough hew them as we may The truth of this saying is eexemplihed in the un- folding of the thrilling story, the wierdest of all mystery stories that Lola" Some of the, questions that this subject causes one to ask is, was
 Lola really dead? Was her father
 justified in his scientific experiments :? Was Lola to blame for the inexp1ica- ble change in her character or was she but the victim of some inscrut-
 able fate? What IS the hidden pow .erful it that controls the action and causes the character of Lola, to un- dergo the mysterious change of the i dual characters? These questions arouse interest at onea Students of ture is the greatest of all film sub 1 jects touching on psychology.

The National Metropolitan Bank Of this
city Is one hundred years old today!
In direct line from the Bank of the
Metropolis organized January II, 1914,
with but two changes in name. chartered
by act of Congress and becoming a ma
tional bank with the enactment of the
national bank act, this institution has
come down to the present day, steadily,
slowly at first. but always with strong
strides until it has come to be one of the
leading financial institutions of the Ma
donal Capital.
In the one hundred years it has had
eight presidents, including the incumbent;
It has passed through four wars. 1t

the British were in full possession of the

SUET Is OF GREAT VALUE.
Serious Waste by Housewives Point.
ed Out by Food Specialists.

That there is In certain sections a seri-
Gus waste of valuable food, due to the
fact that many housekeepers do not ap-
preciate the value of suet in cooking and
do not know how to use 1t, is the report
given by some of the food specialists OF
the Department of Agriculture.
Good suet. it is stated, is. therefore.
sometimes only used for soap making
and sometimes simply thrown out as
waste. Suet. say these specialists. can
be made an extremely satisfactory sub
stitute for shortening, for frying and for
making savory fats. inasmuch as 1t has
the same food value as lard.
In Germany suet is used interchange
ably for frying and shortening, and It
would see mthat American cook books in
creating the impression that suet is good
only for soap making have failed to
save some of the housewives OF the
United States many a penny.

INDIAN MONEY BILL
CARRIES sS,7OO,OOO
At Government Printing Office and
Will Be introduced in House
Tomorrow.

The Indian appropriation bill for the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1915, carrying
a total of S, 1000 was sent to the gov
ernment printing Office yesterday after
noon and will be introduced in the House
tomorrow. The bill was drafted by
subcommittee of the committee On Indian
affairs, consisting of Representatives Car
ter of Oklahoma, Stevens of Texas and
Burke of South Dakota
Ihe Dill Will be taken up and passed by
the House as soon as that body has com
pleted the District appropriation BILL IL
the plans of the committee are carried
out.
The estimates submitted by the Indian
office amounted to SIC, POS 900. and the ap-
preparation for the fiscal year 1914
amounted to $9,4S6O0O. It will be seen,
therefore, that the subcommittee has
pared the appropriations considerably
Among the principal items in the bill,
as 1t will be introduced in the House is
that for day and Industrial schools for
the Indians. The estimate submitted for
this item was 81, 100000, and this was
cut by the committee to sL.420, 600. The
estimate for surveys and aIlotments was
$4,000, and the bill provides 100000
For Industrial Education.
The commissioner of Indian affairs sub
nitted an estimate of $925.OOO for carry
ing on program of industrial education
among the Indians. The committee cut
this to 100000 feeling that the scheme
was a new one and should be tried out
gradually. The estimate for superintend-
ing liquor traffic was 100000 and the
committee retained this amount in the
bill. The estimate for repairs to the
schools and agency buildings was $3.50, COO
and the committee cut this to 100000
The estimate for the purchase of goods
and supplies was $325. 900 and this was
reduced to 100000 by the committee. An
old fight is involved in the last item,
For some fifteen years there has been an
attempt to reduce the number of Indian
warehouses, and 1t is expected that one
| or more of these houses VIII now have to
go, If the committee is sustained. The
warehouses are located in Omaha. San
Francisco, Chicago, St. Louis and New
York.
The committee made considerable in
| creases over the present appropriation for
hospitals because of the report made by
a congressional commission showing that
trachoma and tuberculosis are increasing
greatly among the Indians. The appro-
priation for hospitals under the present
law Is $1OO, 600. The estimate submitted
by the commissioner was $4,000 The
committee reduced this amount to 500 OOO
and provided $4,000 for the establish
| ment Of an additional hospital in Okla
homa- The $4,000 is to come out of the
tribal funds.
