Tanner Starts Game.

In the game Saturday night Be-
midi started the scoring in the first
Is seconds of play when Johnson
passed the ball to Tanner who negO-
tiated an easy shot. In less than an
other minute Tanner dribbled the ball
down the entire length Of the floor
and secured another basket A min
nte later and he duplicated his second
shot.
During the first half the Bemidji
men played excellent ball All passes
were accurate and the Little Falls
uuint appeared to be bewildered by
the speed of the local boys.
Speed Too Much.
Little Falls opened the game with
a burst of speed but was unable to
keep pace with the fast work of the
local boys.
The first half ended with the score
22 to S.
During the second half the Little
Falls uuint broke away for short
time and secured four baskets. After
that, however, the game was very
much Bemidji's. The entire game
was fast and interesting despite the
onesidcdness of the score.
The summary of the game is as fol-
lows:

 But some of the methods adopted by League to secure support are not commendab To say methods are lndlscreet ls.using too feeble word
 The League has addressed letters to emnlovers asknp them to have their employees sign endorsement Mr. Hughes candidacy.
 The relation between employer and employed of such nature that attempts the part of the employer influence the political action of his the nature of coercion The thing is wrong. s<
 Much indignation has excited in shops where hese peuons have been circulated sometimes by foremen some times by the employer himself

 The Farmer does not resent these in the fear they will inure the candidacy of Mir Wilson They will probably n- ure the candidacy of Mr. Hughes The resenuness of work men against influences of this sort usually him away from the cause he is being coerced to follow.
 But the practice is bad It forbidden law and prob ably cannot be- The remedy must lie in the good sense and good judgment of employers themselves

Hullaballo Over Who's to Pay for Asking Lake view Razing Bids.

Members of the board of contract and supply are watching to see who
 will receive the bill for the adver- tisement which recently appeared in an engineering magazine concerning the wrecking of old Lakeview home.
 Yesterday the board advertised for
 bids for the demolition of the build ing to be presented on or before Oct.
 23 at the office of the board in the city hall. Prior to this advertise ment, another advertisement had ap-
 peared in the engineering paper, a publication widely read by civil en- gineers and architects. The adver- tisement stated that bids might be sent the board of contract and sup ply, but when members of the board
 asked Clerk Samuel M. Baldwin about it he said he had not inserted
 the lad"
 Spencer R. Gordon, superintendent
 of the charities department was then
 asked about the matter, but he says
 he is not responsible for the appear ahce of the advertisement. The
 matter was first called to the attention
 of the board by d representative of
 the New Haven Wrecking Co. who
 called and asked for specifications.
 Clerk Baldwin knew nothing of the
 matter and then the members of his board began calling him about it. Among others who have asked for specifications and who will figure on the work is a woman contractor, Mrs. J. B. Hand. She is Bridgeport woman and she said today she thought she could set her worknen at the
 building and demolish it and make prbfit. President Behrens of the charities board today began an in vestigation on his own account to dis | cover if possible who inserted the first | advertisement regarding the raging of | the building. He gave no authority | for the advertisement.
 Bids for the demolition of the build 1 ing which were advertised for yester- | day, require that the contractor shall | pull down the building, clean the clean the bricks eof mortar and pile them neatly. The, bricks are to re-
 main tn eproperty of the city. The other material goes to the contractor. | No bids have yet been received.

PRAYING FOR A HUSBAND.

Saint Catherine, whose festival Is
celebrated on the 25th of November,
receives scant homage in America, but
in Europe she is one of the most pop
ular of the saints. She is the protector
and patron of the city of Venice, and
many are the supplications made to
her by Venetians who, in these dread
times of war, fear that destruction Will
be visited upon their beloved city.
In England, France, Belgium,
Spain, Portugal and Italy the good
Catherine is considered the special
friend and patron of spinsters, and In
Paris her fete day is ungallantly re-
ferred to as "Old Maids Day. Special
services are held In some of the
churches and maidens young and, old
carry flowers thither to be laid upon
the altar, at which they beseech the
intercession of st. Catherine in pro-
curing for them a good husband.
Owing to the terrible tragedy which
has befallen France, and which has
cost the lives of so many Of it's young
men, the vogue of st. Catherine is
likely to increase in the coming years.
Already the hearts of French girls are
being wrung with the fear that they
shall have to go through life without

DRAFT HORSE BREEDING.

The Draft Horse Show held at
Springfield in connection with the Ma
t1onal Dairy Show should be a step
toward familiarizing the people of
New England with better grade OF
draft horses. Too little attention is
paid to this and other classes of live
stock as feature of our fairs, en-
tertainment Of some form to a. great
extent occupying a more prominent
place on the program than high
class stock shows. The National
Dairy Show demonstrated that there
is demand for something of this
kind that is Of real educational value.
The Connecticut Agricultural Col
lege showed two creditable -Percher-
ons and were beaten only by T.
Crouch & Son of Lafayette, Indiana. a
firm that has in recent years won
great distinction as show men and
dealers. That the College stallion.
Dragon. Jr., was entitled to win in
his class rs the popular opinion Of all
who were close observers This
would have given him a champion
ship in Percheron stations and been
a source of considerable satisfaction.
particularly as he would have defeat.
ed some horses that have recently won
in western shows. A series of un-
fortunate circumstances may have
contributed towards his defeat De-
layed judging, substitute judge and
an accident in the ring, being among
them.
A comment Of the Breeders Ga
zette of Chicago follows: "The class
for stations, two years old and un-
der four, brought out Dragon, Jr.,
shown by the Connecticut Agricultur-
al College, a splendid specimen of
the breed. Ideal a horse with a
little more scale was placed over
Dragon Jr., who was popularity pro-
nounced superior in coformation,
quality, action and set Of legs and feet.
Dragon, Jr., is a black. weighing L.
$50 pounds, as a two year old and
was the popular choice for cham
pionship honors.''
John Buck1er, superintendent for
Mr. John A. Spoor, ex-president of the
Union Stock Yards, Chicago, said,
There is no question about this su-
periority over the other colt. ORA
gon Jr., should have easily won in
his class and been champion of the
show" Mr.. Buckler showed ORA
gon at the International Live Stock
Exposition at Chicago in 1907 when he
won Grand Championship. He
states that in his opinion, the colt is
equal to his sire in every respect and
superior in the stufles. This Is a
high compliment to the colt. Very
favorable opinions were expressed by
many of the leading stockmeu. of the
United States and Canada.
Draft Horse Breeding stock of
good type, quality and size is scarce
in any section, particularly in the
east. Tractors are not going to do
all our work and our farmers and
stock men would d. well to pay more
attention to this bra 1ch of the live
stock industry.-H. L. Garrigus De-
partment of Animal Husbandry, Con-

Performed a Miracle With
His Wife.

The fame of Lax-a-Tone has
spread throughout the state Of Con-
necticut. The article has merit and
the people are finding it out fast, and
by the way that the satisfied GUS
toners. come in it will surely only
be a short time until all will know
what Lax-a-Tone is. If you have a
friend or neighbor that is using it
ask them don't take my word. Mr..
Servilla, who, is well known man
in Bridgeport, and is employed by
Cornwall & Patterson, says:
my wife has had indigestion and
sour acid stomach for the past eight
years she had to be very careful as
to what she ate as many foods would
start the gas and bloat, she felt tired
out and languid as most stomach
sufferers do. We decided to try
Lax-a-Tone and much to our sur
prise she can eat anything at all
without distress. I am pleased to in
dorse it to my friends"
Lax-a-Tone is for sale at Harti-
