Two thousand three hundred and
eighty-six more pounds of butter
were made at the Bemidji creamery
during June of this year than during

butter were made at the local cream
cry, and in June, 1914, the total was
$3.50. For time the entire output
of the Bemidji creamery was sold to
Bemidji trade but now much of it is
shipped to foreign points. The pro-
duct is recognized as being creamery
butter of much excellence. Several
Bemidji merchants do not handle it.

John Moberg, the well known Be

an attorney of Bemidji.
This property comprises 13O acres

Mr.. Moberg plans to improve the
land by bitches and tiling and will
convert it into a celery and vegetable
farm. 1t will be entirely fenced in,
the posts for this purpose already
having been purchased. Complete
equipment for modern celery farm

II am in favor of using posterettes

recently returned from an eastern

"On my trip I saw many of the
posterettes being used in nearly every
city and it occurs to me that they
could be used effectively in Bemidji,'
he says. "The most important thing
is to have something out of the or
dinary. Most of the stamps are COM

ter, in my estimation, than to put
actual Bemidji scenes on the stamps,
putting one scene on one lot and an
other on the next lot of 'stickers.'

know just what we have here. Any
form of advertising which attracts
the eye and mind is desirable in call

Official Washington Greets Second
Note of Germany With Little Salts
faction -Enunciate New Doctrine
NATIONS HAVE STOOD TOGETHER
Says That As Adversaries Have Tried
to Starve Out Nation It Must Use
All Means Within Power to Win.

Washington, July 10.-Germany
has enunciated new doctrines in in
ternational law and this official in
depreciation is based upon the un-
official text cabled by German news
papers. The official text has not yet
been received by the state depart
ment The note says that Germany
felt justified in the sinking of the
the Lusitania, but especially regret
ted on account of that being the par
ticular issue of the text of the last
two communications.
Throughout the entire note Ger
many returns to- the first principles
of warfare. 1t states that on account
of her adversaries trying to starve
out Germany it is necessary to use
every means within her power to
crush them, but is also willing to do
everything possible to avoid jeopar-
dizing American lives on the high
seas. The note continues with the
statement that Germany will protect
United States ships having distin-
gushing marks, providing these ships
are not carrying contraband of war.
England is Blamed.
There is a point in the text Of the
note where Germany blames England
for it's submarine policy and sinking
of the Lusitania. The Lusitania
question, however, is officially admit
ted to be more formidable than ever
The general opinion is that the
sinking Of the Lusitania was an un-
warranted act and that Germany
is responsible for it. However,
nothing in the nature of an ultima
tum is being contemplated, it is be-
lieved, and there is no intention on
the part of the American government
to make any threats toward Ger
many. The next note will express
surprise that Germany has refused
to accept the responsibility Of the
Lusitania tragedy and will reiterate
requests for an answer to the original
demands.

.BOTHA GAINS PL,A ACE
in BRITISH HISTORY
General Who Was Leader Of Boer War
Against Great Britain Now Consid-
cred One of England's saviors.
TRIUMPH FOR HIS PRINCIPLES
Statesmen See in His Success
Full Justification of System for
Which Englishmen Are Fighting
By J. W. T. MASON.

= g Sd . So. q 4 - : s Fa (
New York, July TO- General Louis
Botha, who Is years ago was the
leader of the Boer war against Great
Britain, has made his name today as
one of the saviors Of the British en-
pire. This triumph Of the democrat
ic principles of government is the
most notable lesson of the conquest
of German Southwest Africa.
Germany's premier dependency,
about which are centered the Teu-
tonic plans for a great colonial en-
pire, has surrendered to the Boer
leaders who were so largely encour-
aged by Germany during the South
African war. The grant of complete
local government given South
Africa by England has been COM
pletely vindicated. The British
democracy will see in General Botha' s
success full justification of the gov
ernmental system for which English
men are fighting.
Heightens the Value.
The practical effect of the Boer
conquest will be to heighten the
value of the imperial tie to English
men and will lead to larger voice
in imperial questions being given to
the colonies. The occupation Of
German Southwest Africa is not only
the most important victory the Allies
have won, but is also a very valuable
hostage which Germany will want
to ransom in the peace conference
after the war. Here is the basis of
a possible conflict Of interest between
England and the Beers. -,
=. Want to Keep Colony.
The Boer South Africans having
won the German colony without help
from the motherland are anxious to
keep it permanently. British South
Africa has long vaguely .aspired to
expand at Germany '.ss expense, and
now the j,expansion is an accomplish
ed fact. But, if Germany cannot be
forcibly driven from Belgium and
France, one of the conditions of her
voluntary retirement will be the re-
storation of her colonies, and partic-
ularly of Southwest Africa: Tie
Beers, therefore, may be called upon
to sacrifice the result of their long
toll for the good of the empire at
large. A sacrifice of this kind will
not only be made if compensation
is granted in the form of future col
onial participation in the control of
imperial affairs. General Botha,
therefore, may come to be known as
the father of a new British i'm
perialism. 80 &. ~e."az .

FACTORS in SCHOOL WORK
Dean Woods Says Teacher and Equip
ment Play Prominent Part-Over-
Specialization is Fault.
GOES TO ITASCA STATE PARK

Two members of the agricultural
| committee of the state board of reg.
| ents, accompanied by Dean A. r
Woods of the College of Agriculture
who are on tour of inspection, ar.
| rived in Bemidji this morning ant
left Immediately for, the state park
at Lake Itasca where they will attend
meeting of the forestry board. The
regents were M. w. Williams and A
E. Rice.
Dean Woods, who is one of the
states most prominent educators
says that the two factors that make
the school are the teacher and the
equipment. A live teacher is one that
can make the most of conditions as
she finds them and can make the
school go, even in spite of meager
equipment. ~.
Describes European Rural Schools.
Mr.. Woods described the rural
schools he had visited in Europe as
representing an ideal toward which
we. should try to develop our schools.
There the teacher with his family re-
sides in beautiful and comfortable
home near the school. The teacher is
permanent member of the commu-
nifty, one who takes a live interest
in all it's affairs and is respected and
looked to as a source of general in
formation and inspiration in all the
public affairs of the community. We
should strive to give our schools more
of such home atmosphere.
Over-Specialization.
Dean Woods said further that one
fault of our school system is over
pecializatiOn--toO clear a distinc-
tion between the duties of the home,
school and church in the DEVELOPMENT
of the child, with the result that too
often most important things are left
by one for the other until they are
neglected altogether.
The school should have in mind the
all around development of the whole
child. Not only must the brain and
hand be trained, but personality
must be developed that will control
the work of the brain and hand to
conform with high ideals of char
acter. This must be done during the
first ten years of the child's training,
or the problem. will be multiplied
hundred fold and continue as a Sc
rious hindrance to further progress
in education.
