North African Mussulman will di-
 rectly admit that he is a Senussi, but
 that he belongs to the order may be
 learned from his attitude while at
 prayer in the Mosque. While the
 regular follower of Mohammed. dur
 ing the parts of his prayer delivered
 in a standing position, permits his arms to hang motionless at his sides.
 the Senussi crosses his arms over
 his breast and grips with his right hand the left wrist in such man. Ter that thumb and index finger rest
 on the pulse.
 The present sheik of the Senussi was not pleased with the Ottoman
 government when. with the treaty of
 Lausanne Tripoli was ceded to Italy.
 Through the former deputy of Tripoli to the Ottoman parliament, the sheik announced that he had severed his connections with the supreme caliph- ate. and that he would continue the
 war with the Italians on his own account The deputy in question, Suleiman- -el -Baruni, . has since be-
 come the sheik's ablest lieutenant and is credited with being an excel lent organizer and leader of troops.
 Baruni is also known as a hater of
 Italians without equal even in Tripoli.
 That the Senussi would have ever completely broken with the Ottoman government had it not been for the occupation of their country by the Italians is not thought likely here. The order had for many years en- joyed absolute liberty of conscience, and under this policy much of the former fanaticism had vanished. But recent information on this subject, coming direct from North Africa. shows that the Senussi intend es- tablishing. if possible. an independent Senussi state in Tripoli. doing this in cooperation with the other Mos lem aggregates who are sad to be ready to do away with overlordships by European powers.
 Whether so ambitious a plan can be carried out is something to which the future must supply the answer What the resources of the Senussi are is something on which even the best informed men in Constantinople lack all accurate news. But it is fairly certain that the military means of the order are greater than has been supposed, notwithstanding that the Ottoman government, which has had it's hands full with looking after it's own army supplies, has not sent a single cartridge into Tripoli since the war with Italy
 The stronghold of the Senussi mil itary forces is said to be Dschebel and from there Baruni has been directing operations against the Italians. How successful he has been may be judged by the fact that the Italian government has been obliged to make arrangements for the transportation to Europe of all even in the city of Tripoli A few days ago the Senussi were but nine kilometers south of the city X The Senussi are said to have been ant war minister of Turkey. who led tae Ottoman troops in Tripoli dur ing the war with the Italians. Their army while not organized on a strictly European basis is said to have nevertheless all the qualities needed to make the task of the Ital- ans of regaining control over Tripoli an ardent, if not impossible one.

J. A. Mcdonald, a we'll known
cruiser of Bemidji, J. D. McPhee Of
Crookston and Oliver Moen of Fosston
are expected to complete their work
of appraising state lands in Polk

have examined 5000 acres of land;
most of which is in small tracts ly-
ing between the Red Lake river and
Clearwater county. This land will
be offered for sale by the state audi
tor in Crookston some time in Novem-
ber. During the time that we were
scouting around" said Mr.. Mcdonald,
eve paid considerable attention to
the growing crops, and I want to tell
you that all yields will be heavier
than any one has dreamed of. The
fields are in fine condition and har-
vesting will be the order Of the day
throughout all sections of the coun-
ty, by the middle of next week.
Corn is also looking remarkably good
and if the present warm weather
keeps up, the yield of that crop will
be far in advance of that anticipated" /"

FOUR WIN GOLD BUTTONS
Children Enjoyed Fairgrounds Con
Quoted During Chautauqua Week.

From child's point of view the
playground hours were by far the
most attractive features of chautau-
qua week, and the work, given under
the supervision of Miss Grace VOll-
mar, was enjoyed. Miss Vollmar,
who has few equals as a supervisor
and director of children's games and
entertainment, was a favorite with
the children who participated and
everyone of them regretted that her
stay was for but one week. ''Honors''
were gained by proficiency in the
many stunts provided by Miss
vollmar. In addition to the badges
which were given to the boys and
girls who competed, small gold but
tons were presented to the four who
received the best records, these being
Doris Black, Pearl Phibbs, Vivian
Saunderson and John Koors. The
children are already planning for the
Fairgrounds which will be provided
with next years chautauqua and
much more interest will be taken,
but few knowing what to expect this
year.

Attorney Mcdonald Retains Place as
\ State Bar Association Official.

I jaer E. Mcdonald, one of Be-
m.Iji's best known lawyers, has
again been honored by the members
Of the Minnesota State Bar associa-
tion, having been named to retain
his seat on the board of governors
at the st. Cloud convention, just
closed. Stiles w. Burr of St. Paul
was chosen president, Frank Grass
weller of Duluth, vice-president: :
Royal A. Stone of St. Paul, treas
urer, and Frank Caldwell of St.
Paul, secretary. Governor W.. s..
Hammond, speaking to his fellow at
torneys at the annual banquet Friday
night, declared that the attorneys of
the state are missing an opportunity
to aid in the cause of good citizen
ship. The governor, asserted that
the bar association could WELD an
immense influence toward obtaining
better conditions in the state He
appealed to the attorneys to follow
in the spirit Of the non-partisan cleo
tion laws and support public ser
wants on their records. The associa-
ton went on record in favor of re-
quiring all applicants for admission;
to the Minnesota bar to show that
they have had a preliminary educa-
tion at least equivalent to a four
year high school course. At the same
time the association for the second
time passed resolution asking the
state legislature to repeal the law
which confers upon graduates of
Minnesota law schools the privilege
of admission to the bar upon presen-
tation of diplomas. The association
wants every applicant for license to
take the state bar examination. ].
L. Washburn of Duluth, who said he
had no high school education him
self, declared that every boy in Min
nesota who wants it can have a high
school education and that the re-
quirement is desirable. The vote was
practically unanimous in favor of the
resolution.
