MANY JOIN "RIDERS" CLUB
Membership in Auxiliary to Bemidji
Auto Club Grows-Money Secured
From Dues to Be Used on Roads,
TO PUBLISH NAMES OF MEMBERS

Hurrah for the "Riders' club.
Have you become member? They
are responding nobly. If you don't
own car of your own and do take
rides with your friends now and then,
you are eligible to membership in
the "Riders' club. The price is the
same as membership to the auto club,
$500 year.
Here is the way some of the riders
look at it. The fellows who own
cars are asked to join the auto club,
which now costs $500 year. This
money is to be spent on the upkeep
of roads in and around Bemidji They
contend that it isn't fair to let the
fellows who own cars shoulder the
burden of keeping the roads in shape,
in addition to giving free rides, so
they formed the "Riders" club and
are literally sending in their fees
to G. G. Cross, who has been appoint
ed collector of dues by the Bemidji
auto club.
The plan is to get at least as many
members into this club as into the
auto club and indications are that
at least $50 can be secured to each.
This will give the clubs a working
capital Of from $3.50 to $500 and all
of it is to be spent for the purpose
of making riding for both car owners
and "riders' greater pleasure. A
complete list of both clubs will be
published as soon as the collections
are completed.

CABINET TO CONSIDER

Washington, July 19.-The Ger

considered by the cabinet tomorrow.
President Wilson and Secretary Ian

general question is: "Will the Or

one instance of things the United

GERMANS FAIL TO !.
MAKE PROGRESS 70
Serious Difficulties Oppose Attainment
of Teutonic Goal Warsaw Remains
Secure and Mackensen Checked.
FIELD MARSHAL MADE MISTAKE
Dividing of Forces Proves Turning
Point-Fall of Constantinople
Brought Much Nearer.
BY J, w, II, MASON.

New York, July 19.-The resump-
tion of the Austro- German offensive
in the eastern war zone this week
shows that serious difficulties still
oppose the attainment of the Teu-
tonic goal. Warsaw continues Sc
cure and Won Mackensen remains
checked in Northern Poland.
The Austrian offensive in Eastern
Galicia is moving ahead once more
and gives renewed evidence of being
able to push the Slavs over their
frontier and reclaim for the dual
monarchy it's yet unreclaimed por-
ton.
Won Mackensen may detach por-
tions of his forces from South Poland
to assist the operations in East Ga
licia. Certainly the German field
marshal made mistake when he di-
vided his forces after the fall of Lem
berg and sent one portion to the
north and another portion to the
east The German advance this week
is probably an effort to relieve the
Russian pressure being brought on
Won Mackensen, $50 miles away. It
is unlikely the gigantic effort is be-
ing developed to surround the Rus
sian forces and annihilate them. Lon
don suggests this, but London also
suggests the Germans are hoping to
capture Petrograd. England is pes
simistic about the Russian opera
tions, however.
If reports from London are true
that Rumania has refused to permit
further transport through her terri
tory of war munitions destined for
Turkey, the fall of Constantinople
has been brought appreciably nearer.
Apart from the entrance of the Balk-
an countries into the war, nothing
could be greater help to the allies
than the action Rumania is alleged
to have taken.
Since Turkeys participation in the
war, Austria and Germany have kept
their ally we'll supplied with guns
and ammunition. These shipments
have been made over the railway
that runs from Hungary through Ru-
mania into Bulgaria and then to Con-
stantinople. Pressure has frequent
ly been brought to bear on both Ru-

PAPERS TO BOOST 81! STATE
Bemidji Publications TO Join in Civ.
ing Minnesota $4,000 Worth Of
Advertising Minnesota Week."
700 wEEKLIEs AND DA1LIEs AID

Bemidji's three newspapers, the
Daily Pioneer, the Weekly Pioneer
and Sentinel, are to join in the move
ment which, according to Herman
Roe, secretary of the Minnesota Edit
orial association, will give the state
advertising worth twice as much as
the proposed cost of the Minnesota
building at the San Francisco expo
sition, without money and without
price. This will be in connection
with Newspaper Week" of October
10 to 16.
"The front page space of our pa
pers is not for sale,''' says Mr.. Roe,
"but averaging the circulation Of the
700 papers, weeklies and dailies, and
making due allowance for the space
that will be given to boosting Min
nesota during the-o week, it is a
conservative estimate to say that no
advertiser could buy that space, or
any other publicity of equal value for
100000. :
minnesota does not need to worry
about the failure to raise 100000 for
state building at San Francisco
The free publicity the state will re-
ceive will be worth twice that much
in dollars and cents.
1--WE are getting many valuable
suggestions as to material which will
be furnished to the state press for
use that week, and we are going to
have some good stuffa Circulars go
out next week to the editors outlining
the plan and asking for responses in
dilicatingshow much each paper. can be
depended on for cooperation. We are
sure of good returns"
H. c. Hotaling of Mapleton and J.
E. Kienitz of Cambridge, with Mr..
Roe, are members of the executive
committee which has charge of the
newspaper week idea. Every weekly
in the state during the week of Oc-
tober 10 is to give over at least a
page of articles setting forth the op-
portunities of Minnesota and of their
particular locality for the home
seeker. Every daily is to get out
at least one special page during that
week. Extra editions of these papers
will be published and sent to big
mailing lists in other states, obtained
from the state, from land men, and
from Minnesota people who have
friends in the states to the east and
south.
The idea originated in California
where it was carried out with great
success and was proposed for Minne-
sofa by H. G. Hotaling in his address
as president of the Minnesota Edit
orial association last winter.

If Governor Hammond, who is now
enrOute to the Panama-Pacific expo

make a "touch" on the state treas

nearly $3,500 in salary which he has
not drawn. Governor Hammond re-
ceives $1,000 a year, but since enter
ing the office six months ago he has
made no call for his monthly enve-

southwark to the French channel and
finally triumphant entry Of Paris.
These are believed here to be the
plans of the kaiser when he said a

the war by October.
However, France is amply prepared
for such an attempt and military
men are not worried. On account of
the close connection of the Paris
fate and the German Flanders front,
the fighting for Warsaw is watched
here with intense interest.
