supt. Dyer Says Bemidji Compares
Well With Other Cities of State.

w. P. Dyer, superintendent of the
Bemidji schools, who with his family
has enjoyed an automobile trip OF
several weeks in the southern part
of the state, returned to the city last
evening. He Immediately began final
preparations for the opening of the
fall term of school which will begin
on Tuesday, September 7. While
away the Dyers visited the Twin
Cities, Pipestone, the home of his
first term as a school official; Daw-
son, where he was superintendent Of
schools at one time, and Alexandria,
where he held the superintendency
before accepting an invitation to
come to this city. II can honestly
say" commented Mr.. Dyer, "that of
all the towns and cities visited on our
trip of 1853 miles, Bemidji is one
of the most progressive and presents
the most prosperous appearance.
Pipestone alone equals it's progress
siveness and in that city they are
now paving the residential district

so shape themselves here that we

SCHEME DEVISED TO ..-
BEAT OPTION Law

A new scheme to beat the county
option law is being discussed in
many places of the state. @ @
The latest suggestion comes from
a county in Northern Minnesota
which went dry under the county op-
tion law. A brewery still is operat-
ing, as there is nothing in the law
which prevents the manufacture of
liquor in a dry county. !
The scheme is to convert this
brewery corporation into consum-
ers' manufacturing plant. Under the
proposed plan the members of the
firm, which probably would be as
large as the number of liquor users
in the county, it is said, would fur
nish the materials for making beer
and receive the product.
The. brewery would be paid for its
work of converting the hops and bar
ley into a drinking product. There
would be no sale Of liquors. There
fore, these ingenious planners argue
there would be no violation of the
law.

victory over the Germans in the Gulf

several under shell fire:
New Features Provided.
The German naval reverses and the
German successes in occupying the
fortress of OssoWetz and a British
naval bombardment of the German
naval base: at Zeebrugge yesterday,
furnished series of news features
which temporarily diverted attention
from the gravity of the issue grow
ing out of the sinking Of the White
Star line ship Arabic by a German
submarine.
The German version of the Riga
battle has not yet been given out but
the definiteness of the official Rus
sian report of the sinking or Grip
n1inr of tho Norv,oor ho@+1o or,,;cor
Moltke, two other cruisers and eight
torpedo boats has sent wave of en-
thusiasm throughout the country and
dispelled the depression over the Rus
sian retreat on land. Aside from the
loss of the German ships, the naval
engagement is regarded chiefly i'm
portant for the strategic effect upon
the land operations in the German
sweep eastward toward Petrograd
which military observers are consid
ering as having been checked and
possibly irreparably defeated.
Still Press Forward.
The German center has pressed for
ward steadily until Prince Leopold of
Bavaria is near the Russian new lines
of defense but the military observers
say the entire campaign hinges on the
vast enveloping movement of Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg's forces in
the north. They have succeeded in
pushing far beyond Riga but the
Russians still have a strong hold on
the gulf of Riga and on the great
naval base of Riga which was a con-
tinual menace to Won Hindenburg'
rear. -.
This, the military observers say,
led to the shifting of number of
German ships, including the Moltke,
from the North sea to the Baltic,
with the purpose of controlling Riga,
and thus preparing German land
advance on Petrograd. The result Of
the naval battle as CLEANED from the
official reports appears definitely to
have defeated the German objective,
according to the observers, who say
that aside from the loss of the ships,
the gulf and the naval base of Riga
are still in Russian hands and menace
Won Hindenburg's advance toward
Petrograd.
