STRONG PLEAS MADE
FOR MORE RELIGION
AMONG THE SCHOOLS
EMINENT DIVINE OF EPISCOPAL
CHURCH URGES VALUE OF
CHRISTIAN EDUCATION.
Or. MERCER LOGAN PRESIDES
School Should Be the Link Between
Church and the World-Reeret Ex.
pressed That the Bible Is Not More
Generally Taught.

Tuesday evening at 7:45 the relig.
ious educational services were held
with DR.. Mercer P. Logan, rector of
st. Anne's church, of Nashville, pre-.
siding Dr. Logan is also secretary
of the synod of the province of Sc
vance; chairman of the Sunday
school commission of the diocese,
and member of the general board of
religious education of the United
States. Before announcing the speak.
ers for the evening, DR.. Logan con-
Quoted a short devotional exercise
and made short talk explaining the
objects of the service, stating that
there were three very necessary
branches of religious education,
namely: First, religious education; !;
second, public schools and religious
education, and third, the necessity
of Sunday schools.
The first subject of religious edu-
cation was assigned to Rev. W. L.
Kinsolving, of Winchester, who made
an able talk of about fifteen minutes
In the course of his remarks the
speaker stated that the school was,
or should be, the link between the
church and the world. He showed by
statistics and by ancient and sacred
history that religious education dat
ed back to the foundation of the
Christian religion, and still further
back than that. The children of Israel
were required and taught the relig-
ion of Moses and we're in a
measure required to master it. But,
said the speaker, there is a great
lacking of catechetical instruction.
Second, religious education in pub
lie schools, was assigned to Prof,
Ware of Sewanee. Mr.. Ware handled
the subject in rather forceful way
from the school teachers standpoint,
regretting the fact that there was not
more religious instruction in all the
schools. He said that in the univer-
stiles that it was a very hard matter
to carry out the religious education
unless it had been begun, or the seed
sown while the pupil was in the gram
mar or primary grades.
Third, the necessity of the Sun
day school, was assigned to Rev.
Prentice A. Pugh, of Memphis Mr..
Pugh in the beginning of his speech
said that it was first essential that
we should realize Sunday. After
the realization of the first day of the
week being a day in which we are
to devote ourselves, our minds and
our endeavors to the worship of God
and the study of his religion, that
the rest would be easy. He made a
strong plea for the parents of the
church to attend the Sunday school,
and to see that their children attend
ed every Sunday and were there
promptly. .
Rev. T. S. Russell, also discussed
the public school and religious edu-
cation. He said that there was no
religion taught in the schools, not
only in the public school, but that
the denominational schools as well

Committee is Named to Investigate
Securing of Site.

Bemidji's council has entered en-
Enthusiastically in the plan to secure
a $4,000 naval militia armory for
Bemidji and at last evenings meet
ing committee was named to inves-
tigate the matter Of securing a site.
Frank S. Lycan, president of the
council, John Moberg, first ward
alderman, and P. J. Russell, city at
torney, were named on the committee.
The appointment of the committee
followed the request made by Lieut..
E. A. Barker that the council take
action whereby a site would be fur
nished for the erection of the ar
mory. Every member of the council
favored the proposition and it is
likely that the site at the foot Of
Fourth street on the Lake shore will
be offered. When the site has been
secured Guy A. Eaton, state naval
militia commander, will recommend
the state Investment board to appro-
pirate SIS, 1000 for the erection of the
structure and the balance will be Sc
cured from the business men. Blue
prints of the proposed building were
presented to the council, the plans
being accepted as satisfactory. If
plans do not miscarry Bemidji will
have a splendid armory by the first
Of next June.

Council Decides That New Highway
is Not Necessary at This Time.

Heated argument took place in the
council chambers last evening when
the report of Thomas Swinson, city
engineer, was read concerning the
plant the Fourth street swamp high
way. There has been considerable
trouble on this road during the sum-
mer, at one place a foot and half
of water standing on it. This con-
dition was brought to the attention
of the council and it instructed the
city engineer to Investigate the adj
visibility of constructing new road.
After taking the necessary sound
ings the engineer reported the cost
of the new road and the repairing
of the old, his recommendation being
that the new highway be ordered as
the old one, in his opinion, can never
be made satisfactory. W. G..
Schroeder, A. P. Richie and Charles
Schroeder appeared before the coun-
Gil and asked that the present road
be repaired. The councilmen, al
though several favored the new road,
finally decided to place one foot of
gravel on the old road and make nee
essary repairs. It is claimed that
this road is over a sink hole and can
never be made permanent but the
representatives present suggested
that inasmuch as it has been in COLI
slant use for more than sixteen years,
never being accorded proper atten-
ton, that it is now entitled to fair
consideration. The repairing will
cost about $500 while the new road
would necessitate the expenditure Of
about $500. -

KooCH|CHING GOES WET
County Option Defeated by 800 Votes
After Hottest Campaign in Entire
state-"Drys' Disappointed.
SENTIMENT CHANGED RECENTLY

= -rEE :
Another county previously counted
as a county option certainty has
voted to retain the saloons, Koochi-
ching remaining in the "wet" ranks
by majority of approximately 300
votes, the election being held follow
ing most bitter campaign.
Every one of the larger precincts
gave the sswets" large votes, Inter-
ternational Falls alone returning a
vote of 265 majority against the
"drys." Northome went ''wet'' by
two votes, while Ray, Rainier and
other places voted To retain the liquor
emporiums.
In the city of International Falls
the third or residential ward, always
strong for prohibition, voted "wet.' -
The returns account for 1850 votes,
leaving between two and three hun
dred yet to be heard from.
Intense bitterness and hard feeling
has played prominent part in the
campaign and each side took advan-
tage of any feature which might
bring victory. Both "wets" and
"drys" had predicted and expected
victory.
Until two weeks ago the county
was strong for prohibition but since
that time the sentiment changed
gradually and on the eve of the cleo
ton the most urgent supporters Of
the 'tdrys'' felt that the battle had
been lost.

ance governing the sale of milk and

ally submitted, were amended at the
Monday night session of the city

Appearing as representatives of the

RACE STORY IS DENIED
By WALTER J. HILL

Walter ]. Hill. son of James J..
Hill, denies that there is any truth
in the report that he was to race
Austin S. Harland OF this city, in an
automobile from Crookston to Min
neapo1is for a purse of $1,000. Mr..
Harland announced some time ago
that the race was not to be held, and
was Disguised with continual reports
from Crookston that it would take
place. In a Grand Forks interview
Mr.. Hill said: There never was
any race scheduled and there never
was any certified check posted by
me. It is a cheap advertising scheme
and at no time was there any element
of truth in it. The story came from
Crookston and is an injustice to

ACTUAL SETTLERS
BUY STATE Land
While Number of Acres Sold This
Year Short of 1914 Record Devel-
opment of Minnesota Benefited.
AUDITOR PREUS MUCH PLEASED
More New Corners Purchase Property
for Immediate Settlement and Less
Speculation is Now Found

During the last few monthly state
land sales held at the court house,
at which Beltrami county land has
been disposed of, it has been noticed
that the number of acres sold have
been smaller in number than those
of former years. A record of these
sales for the state beginning with
the March sales and ending with
the fiscal year, July 81, shows that
this condition exists in all counties
in which there is found state land.
The next sale for Beltrami county
will be held August IL.
According to the figures of J. A.
o. Preus, state auditor, 50,420.35
acres of school and swamp land were
sold for the period mentioned in 1914
for $395,94323. For the same
period in 1915 37,5S6.09 acres were
disposed of, the money paid amount
ing to $2S1,91SS3. This shows a
decrease of 12,834.09 acres and $114,-
024.40 in cash.
.Preus is Pleased.
''To the average person these
figures show a decided slump in the
demand for state lands" said State
Auditor Preus in announcing the
foregoing figures. while the totals
in acres sold and money derived is
a trifie less than the previous year,
the State of Minnesota has gained
more actual settlers during the period
contained in these figures, and, there
fore the state is ahead and the re-
suit to my mind more satisfactory
than allowing Jumps of state land
go into the hands of the speculator."
For nay part, I am mighty we'll
pleased with the showing as actual
occupancy of the lands is the desire
of this department.

rain TO WAR
BemidI Man Believes Bombs of Euro
pean Struggle Are Responsible for
Heavy Showers of Summer.
FLOODS IN FIGHTING REGION

There are many Bemidjians who,
while they may not go into scientific
details, are convinced that the un-
usual humidity in Minnesota is due
to the war in Europe OF course,
they may have the right idea. Wheth-
er they are right or wrong, when it
comes to showdown, they know
just as much, can prove just as much,
as anybody else who argues about
the weather. The belief that the
war has something to do with the
number of showers, however, is wide
spread
In speaking of the great fall Of
rain here this spring, an old timer,
who has had much experience with
wet and dry weather, had the fol-
lowing to say:
Bombs Produce Rain.
''Out in the west few years ago
remember that we had great
drouth For weeks we had not a
drop of rain. Cattle died by the
thousands, great farms were burned
bare of agriculture and people in
many cases died for the want of water
to drink. At last we decided to pro-
duce rain. Bombs were thrown in
the air at many places. This was
kept up and at last the rain came
and saved the people, but the crops
were gone. That is not a theory
It is a fact.
Il have been following closely the
war news and have noticed that fol-
lowing each big battle there have
been rain storms in the vicinity of
where the battle was fought. Europe,
though the press dispatches have not
dwell largely upon it, has been visited
by a number of heavy rains, which
have flooded much of the country
The fact that the cannonading in the
war zone is so great that sound
waves of course, travel faster, and
have more influence upon the ele-
ments. Thus we find that by the
time they have reached various
places in the world they are still suf-
fciently strong to produce rain"

U.S.. WANTS SUPPORT OF
PAN.AMERICAN REPUBLIC
UNITED Pre1al

Washington, Aug. 3.-Before &C
cording moral support to any faction
of Mexico, the United States wants
a like support from the Pan-American
republics. This was given on good
authority this afternoon. That was
the reason for calling the diplomatic
representatives of Argentina, Brazil,
Chilli, Bolivia and Guatemala into
conference on the subject.
The United States will profit ma
terially by joint action of these
southern republics and avoid any
charge of selfish interests. The Pan
American nations will share any re-
sponsibility of the plans of either
success or failure and will give sup
port to whatever action is taken.

DEMAND THAT STRONG
N01EBE Sent 10ENGLAND
(Un1ted Pressl

Washington, Aug. 3.-Meat pack
ers and cotton exporters of this
country will demand that the United
States send an ultimatum or mes
sage sufficiently strong to amount to
one, to England, regarding it's re-
fusal to modify it's order in council.
Plans have not yet been formu-
lated but there is no question as to
their general purport. It is cited
that the interests making these de-
mands are strongest in the country,
and with smaller interests in SYM
pathy with the movement. II these
plans are brought into action Pres
ident Wilson will have a most for
midable array to force him to show
his hand. In case the chief executive
refuses to send such a message as de-
manded by the interests they will at
tempt to force an embargo upon the
expectation of war munitions to Eng
land.
If all these plans fail then an at
tempt will be made to call an extra
session of congress to determine the
question, but in case this fails they
will have to await the regular SEES
sion of the nations lawmakers. But,
however, they threaten to pursue the
fight with the greatest vigor.
In pressing their demands the
packers and cotton exporters cite
that Germany in practice, if not in
theory, has bowed to the wishes
Of the. United States in regard to
submarine warfare, while the British
either in theory or practice.

Heavy guns of all calibres and
