LOVING CUP TO BE GIVEN TO
WINNER OF EGG CONTESTS

The six months egg laying contest
conducted Under the supervision of
Agriculturist B. M. Gile, which began
last February, will close the first of
August. Several of Bemidji's young
poultry enthusiasts started in this
contest, but only three remain. Those
three are Earl j. Black, Clair Vincent
and Alice Dyer. The contest be-
tween these three is very close and
they have all made splendid records.
Blanks are furnished and the number
of eggs gathered each day are re-
corded and at the end of the month
a report is made. The one who Sc
cures the highest average number of
eggs per hen will receive silver
loving cup which is now on eXhibi
tion in the window of Barker's jewel
ry store. The name of the winner
will be engraved on the cup and it
must be won twice by the sama per-
son, not necessarily in successive
years, in order to become permanent
property. The second year of the
contest will commence the first day
of February, 1916, and Judging from
the interest aroused by those in the
contest this year there will be a
great number who will enter the con-
test next year. The loving cup is
donated by E. A. Barker.

PHONE SYSTEM IMPROVED

improvement is to be made by the
Northwestern Telephone company in
the method of handling the rural
lines, the changes to be placed in
operation July 20, at which time the
attractive new directory, printed by
the Pioneer Publishing company,
will be distributed. In the future
the rural lines will have a separate
operator. In calling country sub
scribers the "rural operator" should
be asked for and the number will
then be given. Rural phones will be
designated by letter "F"' and a num-
ber representing the number and
character for rings required. This
will cancel all ring" and "call'
numbers. Since the last directory
was published additions have been
built to the Jones Rural telephone
line and to the Mississippi River Ru-
raj Telephone line. A new line
known as the Fowlds Rural telephone
line, operating to Fowlds and Island
Lake, has been installed. The pro-
gressiveness of the farmers of the
Bemidji vicinity is illustrated by the
fact that phones are now to be found
in 1926 farm homes.

ALARM SYSTEM FAVORED
Firemen Believe Rotary Automatic
Plan Would Be Success Here.

Members of the Bemidji Volunteer
Fire department who attended the
special meeting last evening, called
for the purpose of witnessing a fire
alarm demonstration, appeared to be
much in favor of the system repre-
sented by Charles E. Keller. Sew
eral felt certain that the plan would
work out successfully here should it
be adopted. Mr.. Keller, who until
recently was state fire marshal, dem
onstrated the use of the Rotary Auto
matte fire alarm and explained the
manner in which it might be used
to advantage here. The alarm is
operated from the telephone exchange
and sounds gong in the home of
every fireman and in other places de-
sired. One Rotary apparatus will
sound alarms in forty places, five
bells ringing automatically during
one minute. A button pushed by the
operator will start the alarm. 1t is
likely that the proposition of install
ing the system here will be consid-
cred by the council next Monday.
This is the only system allowed 10
be attached to the lines of the Bell
system, and is highly endorsed by
telephone men of the country.

EDITORS OF STATE INVITED
Elaborate Entertainment Planned for
Outing of Northern Minnesota As
sociation-Rutledge in Charge.
HELD AT DULUTH AUGUST 6-7-8

Plans are nearing completion for
the annual outing of the Northern
Minnesota Editorial association
which is to be held at Duluth and
thereabouts August 6, z and 8. Ar
rangements are being made for al
elaborate program and it is expected
that the trip will be one of much ex-
joyment. 1t is expected that sew
eral Bemidji members will attend.
A. G.. (Doc) Rutledge, for many
years a resident of Bemidji and at
one time editor Of the Pioneer, is sec
retary of the association and he gives
assurance that the schedule will be
one worth while. "Doc' has been
secretary-treasurer since the first
year of getting together and the
making and arranging of successful
outings has come to be matter of
routine with him. He is the only
member of the association who has
attended every meeting and outing
of the association.
The outing is not for members of
the Northern Minnesota Editorial as
sociation, or for the members of any
association alone. The whole tribe of
scribes in the state is invited, and no
questions are asked as to affiliatioE,
race, creed or previous condition of
servitude. The Northern Minnesota
editors want every editor in the state
to be present if it is found possible,
and arrangements have been made for
what is likely to prove the best out
ing thatslny editorial party has yet
taken in Minnesota. It is also desired
to impress on everybody concerned
that this outing is in charge of the
Northern Minnesota Editorial associa-
tion and that the state association
has nothing to do with it.
Special trains will be nothing to
the editors, for there will be three
or four of them and they propose tc
visit the ranges in style, after seeing
Duluth more thoroughly than any
party of visitors has seen it in many
years.
