MINNESOTA SHOULD HAVE
100000 ACRES OF CORN IN 1915

"Minnesota has by no means reach
ed the maximum acreage of corn that
should be grown in the state," says
A. D. Wilson, University Farm, St.
Paul. "At least one-fourth of the
tillable land in the state should be
planted to corn each year. Unfavor-
able conditions in 1915 should not
discourage Minnesota farmers when
they know that for the past twenty
years successful corn crops have been
matured each year, and that the av-
erage corn crop produces twice as
much feed per acre as the average oat
crop. Minnesota farmers should
plant at least 100000 acres of corn
in 1916 or an increase of about IL
per cent over the acreage this year" ;"

READY FOR Today CRUISE
Bemidji Militiamen Plan to Take Ad-

Week About 35 to Go. !
MINNESOTA BOYS WIN HONORs

With the arrival of dispatch sta
ting that the crew of the. U. S.. S.
Gopher, the training ship of the Min
nesota Naval militia, had won the
honors in signalling when the ma
neuvers of the Great Lakes naval
militia was held just outside the har-
bor at Erie, Pa, members of the Be-
midi division doubled their interest
in the cruise which is to be taken
next week.
Ensign William Mcdonald said this
morning that about '35 Bemidji mill
tiamen will take advantage of the op-
portunity to make the ten-day cruise
on the Gopher next week. Members
of several other divisions will also so
on the trip.
The cruise was the chief topic of
conversation at the drill of last eve
ming. It is likely that the cruise
will start about August 25. The
work of the Bemidji militiamen will
be watched with much interest by
officers of the staff for they have been
Informed that the local division COM
prises a class of young men which
is soon to lead the state in efficiency.
At Erie officers and men of the
Gopher were warmly praised by the
government officers who are oversee.

Sham battles, target practice, boat
and gun drills and races of all kinds
have been held off Erie.

In the future Bemidji is to have an
ordinance which will govern the sale

ance provides that all cows providilg
milk for Bemidji trade shall be tested

now in operation at Duluth and Min
neapolis. The need of milk ordin-
ance in Bemidji has been felt for
some time and every effort will be
made to enforce it. -

INDIANS TO sign PLEDGE
Commissioner Cato Sells Issues Blanks
Promise Not to Drink Liquor and
to Discourage It's Use.
1T IS GREATEST MENACE TODAY

Red Lake reservation Indians, as
have those of other agencies in Min
nesota, have received blank pledges
asking the Indians to forego the use
of King Alcohol.
The pledge, issued from the office
of Cato Sells, commissioner of Indian
Affairs, man who is strict prohi-
bitionist and under whose direction
the enforcement of the 1855 treaty
is being carried out, reads:
Il hereby promise that I will not
use Intoxicating liquors as beverage
and that I will do everything that I
can to free and protect my people
from this great evil"
The pledge is being presented to
all Indians, men, women and school
chilren, for signature.
Commissioner Sells, in a recent ad-
dress, said:
II believe that the greatest present
menace to the American Indian is
whisky; it does more to destroy his
constitution and invite the ravages Of
disease than anything else; it does
more to demoralize him as a man
and frequently as a woman; it does
more to make him an easy prey to
the Inscriptions than everything
else combined 49,, If say nothing more
to you tonight that leaves an i'm
preston, let it be this one thought:
Let us save the American Indian from
the curse of whisky"

JUSTICE DEMANDS REFUND
City Attorney in Written Opinion
Tells Council That Unused License
Money Should Be Returned.
SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN BUDGET

while there is no law requiring
the council to return any part Of the
money, there is no law against re-
turning it, and equity and justice de-
mands. it's RETURN" were words in
.cluded in a. written opinion pre-
sented to the city council Monday
evening by P. J. Russell, city attor-
ney. Mr.. Russell had been instructed
to provide a written opinion in the
matter of returning unearned por-
tions of liquor, license money to sa-
loon men forced to close their places
by the Indian treaty enforcement.
Applications for the refund If
nearly $4,000 have been received by
the council but no action has been
taken, the aldermen desiring to be
certain that no mistake be made.
Alderman Lahr, who a week ago re-
called that as the saloon men secured
licenses with the understanding that
they were not to obtain refunds
should the treaty be enforced, sug-
gested that the refunds be laid on
the table for the present, the next
budget to provide tax levy for their
payment. This idea seemed to meet
with the approval of the council. The
suggestion will be acted upon at The
next meeting
-.-: Cites States Law.
In his written opinion Mr.. Rus
sell carefully recited the law relative
to the, return of license money in in
stances where death had come to the
licensee; where the sale of liquor had
become unlawful and where granted
by a county board and the subsequent
inclusion of the place for which I,
was granted within municipality
In these instances the money can be
returned if the council sees fit to do
so. The Bemidji former saloon own
ers do not come within any of these
provisions, says Mr.. Russell, the Ii
censes having been illegally granted
originally.
"The question therefore," says Mr.
Russell, for you gentlemen to de-
termine is: would it be, just, ana
equitable for you to return thissex-
cess? The writer has always main
tained that as matter of right and
justice these men are entitled tc re-
ceive back the money paid by them
for privilege, which the council was
unable to extend.
''It is a maxim of law that no per-
son can take advantage of his own
wrong-it was as illegal for the ccun-
Gil to issue license to them as it was
for them to receive it-and no action
can lie against the council for eqult-
ably adjudicating this matter by re-
turning the unearned money"
Two per cent of all license money
goes to the State Inebriate Asylum
fund, and this cannot be considered
in making the refund according to Mr..
Russell, but all of the remainder
should be included unless it eau he
shown that ten per cent was actually
expended for improving roads leading
into,. but outside of the city limits.

The government figures of August 1,

Marietta, Ca, Aug. 17.-LeO NJ.
Frank, convicted of the murder OF
Mary Phagan, little factory girl of
this city, was lynched shortly before
dawn today within two miles from
the home of the child he is claimed
to have killed. This was the second
time attempts have been made to
take Farnk's life: since he was placed
in the state prison farm at Milledg-
Vile following his commutation of
sentence by Governor Slayton, Will
liam Green, fellow convict, slash
ing his throat with butcher knife
just a month ago tomorrow. His
condition was critical for several
days. ~. s.@.@zl -.
Dead Several Hours.
The lynching occurred more than
a hundred miles from the prison
farm, Frank having been kidnapped
from his prison cell last evening.
1t was learned that not single
armed guard at the prison farm rails
ed hand to save Frank. Franks
body was found dangling from'a tree.
Officials have been unable to locate
Supt. Burke of the prison farm.
There is no doubt but that the mob
formed in Marietta as several auto
mobiles loaded with men left here
last night
The body was found at Marietta
with several bullet holes and had
been dead several hours, indicating
that he had been lynched before
dawn. The body was found few
miles from the Little river and MUIR
der river. &,
James Jackson, a farmer, reported
that this morning, just before day
light, he heard men rush past his
house. Later a hundred shots were
heard. Empty cartridge shells were
picked up this morning near tho
Jackson home. 1t is evident that the

prison farm headed direct for the
home of little Mary Phagan: s5zse s
Posses Secured Country.
The mob which took Frank from
the farm numbered between so and
rs, and arrived and departed in eight
large automobiles. The men we're
orderly and worked with precision,
two of them holding the warden at
the point of brace of guns and two
others the superintendent, while
others hurried to the stockade where
Frank was housed and rushed him
out. Until this morning not trace
of the mob or of Frank had been
found, although the searchers felt
certain that a lynching had taken
plac e,the feeling against Frank being
intense in certain circles. Large
posses secured the surrounding coun-
try for miles in search of Frank. The
largest posse in the history of man
hunt in that part of the south
worked. When the body was taken
down several jumped on the face.
