be turned into a reserve If this is
done the timber on the reserve will
be cut down and the proceeds will
go to the forest reserve board.
Friends to Protest.
A delegation Of Indians from Red
Lake have gone to Washington to
protest against the bill. Friends of
the red men in this county and Clear
water county are also sending pro-
tests.

Washington. 1t is believed that he
has been called there to confer in re-
gard to this bill.

''BIC BEM|DG" OPENS
SEASON BY DEFEATING
ADA QU|NT q TO IA
Local Boys Show Up Well Despite
Fact That They Only Had
Short Practice.
PECK FEATURES IN
BRILLIANT PLAY
Fumbles Numerous; Berrigan Out
plays Taller and More Expert
enced Opponent.

At the Armory Saturday evening
the newly organized big, Bemidg''
basket ball team defeated the Ada
quint by score of % to IA. This
was the first game of the season
for the local five and the players
showed up we'll, considering the
short time in which they had to
practice.
Ada Scores First.
During the first few minutes of
play neither side scored. Numerous
fumbles were made. Ada scored
first with a field basket. Another
double counter was secured several
minutes later and with foul thrown
the visitors had a total of five points
to Bemidji's two. This was the only
time that Ada was ahead of the Be-
midi team. Two baskets put Be-
midi in the lead and from that time
on the local boys were in no danger.
Dribbles Length of Floor.
Peck at right guard started the
scoring for Bemidji, securing the ball
at the toss-up and dribbling it the
entire length Of the floor and drop
ping the ball through the net. 1t
was the most brilliant play of the
evening.
During the first half all points
made by both teams were secured by
individual effort rather than by team
work. The first half ended with
the score 9 to 6 with the Bemidji
team on the long end.
Team Work Improved.
During the second half the team
work of big Bemidg" was more evi-
dent than at the beginning of the
game. The guarding was good, Ada
not being able to score until the last
few minutes Of play when the visit
ors counted four times.
Howe and Diedrich were at the
forward positions for Bemidji. The
former played a steady game and
made two baskets, both being "loop-
ers." Diedrich played creditable
game, this being his first appearance
in a Bemidji uniform.
Figure in Many Plays.
Berrigan at center, new man on
the team, showed up we'll and out
played his taller and more expert
enced opponent. He also secured
three baskets.
Bestul and Peck at guards played
fast games, guarding their men
closely and figuring in nearly every
play.
The lineups were as follows:

NAV Disavow Sinking.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 31.-Col.
E. M. House possibly has succeeded
in obtaining Germany's disavowal Of
the Lusitania sinking, which would
assure the end OF the Lusitania con-
troversy.
This was the Interpretation placed
Sunday by Washington officials on
news sent by Carl w. Ackerman,
United Press correspondent from Ber-
lin, telling of a forthcoming note
with which Germany hopes to avert
break with America.
The controversy at present hinges
on the difficulty in reaching an un-
derstanding on the demands of the
United States that the sinking of the
Lusitania be disavowed by Germany.

available. But to F. X. Smith, for
merly of Abilene, now of Manhat-
tan, and whose mother, Mrs. D. G.
Smith and sister, Mrs. Theo. Nusz
reside here, the very fact that the
instrument of wood and graphite
placed horizontally with the ends
extending out either side of the
mouth, held the lips together SO
tightly was a revelation.
Hence the story of his discovery
and invention, the S. & T. Truss.
Smith conceived the idea that if the
pencil so placed would draw the
lips together then why not apply
the same principle to the retention
of the walls or lips of an abrasion
of the abdomen.
He worked out his invention. He
fitted several of his trusses on
friends who needed them. To the
satisfaction of the inventor and the
surprise of the patients, the Pen
ell Pad" truss worked. 1t held the
walls together and gave them a
chance to heal.
Simple as is the principle upon
which his truss is made the results
have been phenomenal and keeps
the little druggist busy. While con-
Quoting a splendid pharmacy in
Manhattan he is contemplating de-
voting his entire time to the manu-
facture and fitting Of the truss.

TEITZEL GOOT FACTORY TO
LEAVE JUNCTION CITY

Junction City, Feb. 25.-The J. G.
Teitzel Boot company, which spe-

boots, announced that the factory
would be moved soon to Wichita.
The move is made to secure better
wholesale facilities and also because
of the scarcity of skilled labor OF
this kind in this portion of the state.
The firm is one of the Oldest estab-
lishments in the country and has
specialized in military boots for a
quarter Of century. The 1915 out
put was 1000 pairs, and the capacity
Of the plant will be increased in its

RECEIVED FROM SCHOOLS
Senator j. w. Howe Addresses Stu
dents at X. S. A. @.

Manhattan, Feb. 25.-"If your
work in college doesn't increase
your capacity for labor and instill
within you a desire to make your
vocation in life a success, then your
time spent here has lbeen lost"
said Senator ]. w. Howe Of Abilene,
in an address at the chapel exer-
cises at the State Agricultural col
lege at Manhattan today.
Continuing he said: "If after
spending some years in school you
are not the better enabled to take
your place in the world-better
equipped to farm, to be lawyer, a
merchant, an engineer or any other
vocation you may choose, then you
not only have wasted your time, but
you have squandered your dads
money, and the money of the tax
paers of the state as well, and
should add here" said Senator
Howe, that if you desire the tax
payers of this great state to give
you ample funds to maintain this
great school, you must show them
that you have been a good student,
and the money they are spending
for you is an investment instead of
an expenditure. There will be OBJ
lection, on the part of your parents,
or those who otherwise assist the
school financially to pay for your
benefit, if you will but apply your
selves and take advantage of your
opportunity"

Gravest That Has Faced Gov

Washington, Feb. 24.-With the
nation facing a crisis fraught with
more dangerous possibilities than
have appeared at any other time
since the European war opened
President Wilson, in meeting that
situation upon the letter OF inter-
national law, faced revolt in his
own party in congress.
The situation was admittedly
grave-the gravest the administra-
tion has had to face-and made all
the more SO by the revolt of the
Democrats.
Agitation for action warning
Americans off armed ships Of the
European belligerents suddenly
grew to such proportions that DEM
ocrats of the foreign affairs COM
nittee voted to canvass the senti-
ment of the house on several pend
ing resolutions of that nature.
Sentiment in the senate in favor
of some such action also was open
ly expressed.
All the demonstration was in the
Democratic ranks and there was no
omen show of sentiment among the
Republicans.
Close on the heels of a warning
by the president that he would toll
crate no interference with his hand
ling of international relations at
this time, number of representa-
tives openly have voiced their dis
pleasure.

METHOD|STS READY
 FOR CUMBERLAND.
Tw0-Game Series Starts To- morrow at Munger Field.
 Nation Will Probably Pitch

Birmingham college will meet the Cum berland university nine in a two-game series, starting tomorrow afternoon on Munger field. The game will start at 330 o'clock. The second game of the series will be played on Tuesday afternoon
 The Methodists are in fine shape at the present, as shown by their double vic tory over Howard college last week by big score in each game. Coach Pinson S boys are hitting the pill hard, fielding in fine style and the pitchers are going at top speed. Although Cumberland comes to Birmingham with the reputation of having one of the best college baseball teams in the south, the fine showing the Methodists have made recently makes the series more interesting.
 Coach aPinson has not decided who he will work against the visitors in the first game, but it will probably fall to Ma ton. the star southpaw of the aggrega- tion. Either Campbell or Ardis will then tackle the hurling duties in the second fray, leaving Naticn fresh for the third game of the Howard series on Wednes- day. Provided the Methodists continue to play the brand of ball that marked their games last week, there is no doubt but that if Cumberland wins the series they can boast of one of the best hines in the college game in Dixie. The result of the series will be watched with in tereSt
