BELTRAMI OPTION VOTE CLOSE

Bemidji, Aug. 15.-Beltrami coun-

were still very close today, but wheth-

certainly stay dry. The entire coun-

Uncle Sammy quite assiduously keeps
it dry, as provided by the treaty.
But then they held local option
election, and under it the county may
go wet. Then the county will remain
dry. Again, the county may go dry.
Then it will remain dry. They all got
out and voted on this interesting sub
ject. Some $3.50 voted, estimates say.
In a spirited state primary this spring

to vote for firewater they can't have

ARRANGE PREACHING MISSION
Rev. Irving p. Johnson Will Conduct
Week of Services at Episcopal
Church in This City

During the week of Sept. 1915, the
parish of the Good Samaritan will
take part in the nation wide preaching
mission called by the general conven-
ton of the Episcopal church held in
New York City. The mission instruc-
tions and sermons will be given by
the Rev. Irving P. Johnson, D. d.,
professor of eccliastical history in
Seabury Divinity School of Faribault,
MINI. The public is invited to attend
all the services. The missions are
called by the following resolutions:
Whereas, Our age calls in no un-
certain way for revival of the pro-
phetic ministry, and as re-emphasls
upon the certain and unchanging
words of eternal truth that pertain to
salvation, and
Whereas, a new accent needs to
be placed upon the essential sOlidar-
ity ,as we'll as the broad catholicity of
a Church that witnesses to and seeks
to promote faith and order; there
fore be it
"Resolved, the House of Bishops
concurring, that this Church in Gener-
al Convention assembled registers its
desire and will undertake preaching
mission of nationwide proportions,
that in its scope shall be inclusive OF
the Church at large, and whose sole
aim shall be the salvation of men
through Him whose name is above
every name"
Discussing the mission, Rev.
Schmeiser said:
"Since the above action was taken
grave conditions have arisen as re-
suit of the European war. The very
foundations of society and all it COM
prehends is shifting and the old order
changeth and mighty forces are con-
tending for supremacy; even the
faithful are asking with imprisoned
John the great question: cart Thou
He that should come, or do we look
for another?"
"a great hour has struck and a
world-crisis ushers in the Church's
opportunity time. Out of the worlds
disorder, during the past year in
hundreds of Episcopal churches, has
been heard the clear voice of the pro-
phet challenging it for its sins and
calling it to behold, the Lamb of God
which taketh away the sin of the
world"
"Now as never before we need to
hear and heed the Masters call to a
great service. Now as never before
we need accent the solidarity and un-
ity of our Church"

Bleeding by Bowshot.

That all diseases can be cured by
bleeding is still firmly believed by sew
eral savage tribes and especially by
the Papuan negroes. When one of
their physicians becomes convinced
that it is necessary to bleed patient
he goes several feet in front Of him,
and then, drawing his bow he fits a
sharp pointed arrow to it and, after
careful aim, fires the arrow into the
vein which he desires to open. The
arrow, it is said, invariably goes
straight to the mark, and the thorn or
splinter of glass with which it is tip
ped does the work as successfully as a
lancet. Moreover. the patients never
show the slightest fear, since they are
convinced that from the moment the
arrows pierce their veins they will be-
gin to recover.

WILL ADVERTISE MINNESOTA
State Immigration Department Pre-.
pairing to Interest Outside Res
idents in Resources of State

The Minnesota State Board of I'm
migration is preparing to invade the
states of Iowa, Illinois and Indiana
with an agricultural exhibit at their
State and District fairs this fall. The
itinerary has been perfected, and at
taches of the Department are assem-
bling the exhibit which will consist of
the choicest clover, timothy and al
fslfa, wild grasses, ETC., to be found
any where in the state. In addition
to this will be sheaves of grain, wheat
rye, oats and barley, while threshed
grains and seds of all kinds will be
shown as we'll as all kinds Of fruits,
potatoes and other vegetables.
This exhibit will be displayed in a
Large tent at the various fairs and it
is the intention of the Department to
have one of the most complete agri-
cultural exhibits ever shown bly, the
State at foreign fairs. The follow
ing itinerary has been prepared by
Fred D. Sherman, Commissioner of
immigration:
Laporte, Indiana, District Fair,
Aug. 29 to Sept 1; Indianapolis, Ind,
State Fair, Sept. to Sept. g.; South
Bend, Ind, District Fair, Sept IL to

of attendances at these fairs in past

sioner of immigration, "and l estimate
that this year, the combined attend

DRIED FOODS IN CHINA.
An Art In Which the Natives Were Ex-
perts Before Our Era. E


"In so far as good cooking consists
in making the cheap as attractive and
delectable as the most expensive,, the
culinary art in China is far in advance
of that Of all other nations,'' writes
Wong Gin Foo, Chinese writer, in
the Hotel Gazette.
"In land so densely populated the
cook becomes at an early age an i'm
portant member Of the social economy.
Not only the preparation of food for
immediate but also for future use is
his function. Long before Christ they
learned to preserve fruits and vegeta-
bles by desiccatiOn, compression, pick
ling, smoking, sousing and candying.
They extended and applied these proc
esses to animal tissue. Centuries ago
they did what Americans cannot do
tOday-dry CLANS, oysters and other
shellfish until they are as hard as
wood and would keep exposed to the
air in any climate for years. They
similarly desiccate shrimps, crabs, lob
sters, f1atfish, sturgeon and the like so
thoroughly that they can use the un-
boxed goods, If necessary, for ballast
ing trading vessel without injuring
their quality or flavor.
"a good Chinese cook must confne
his expenditures to the limit laid down
by his employer-a practice in strong
contrast to the loose methods in this
country. He can calculate the cost of
meal to within a few cents. He can
make an inferior cut of fresh pork
resemble the best piece Of perfumed
pork, so highly priced by his employer
or make a mock birds nest soup
scarcely distinguishable from the real

CLEAN UP SCHOOL BUILDINGS

Now is the time for School Boards
to see that the school buildings are
put in safe condition from fire for the
coming sessions. During the summer
vacation period, many schools, are
closed and not looked after again un-
til just before the term begins in the
fall, says Robert w. Hargadine, State
Fire Marshal. Have an inspection
made of the easements, closets, at
tics and out-oft-he-way corners in
each school building. See that the
chimneys are cleaned so as to reduce
the danger of fire from SCOT, and
above all, get rid of al rubbish in and
about the school buildings before the
children return. In this manner many
school buildings will be made safe for
the children and instructors, and in
cidentally will save the community
possibly hundreds of dollars. Last
year there were 20 school houses
burned in Minnesota witha n aggre-
gate loss of $1S3,5288. Undoubtedly
much of this loss was due to neglect
or carelessneSs.

ern part of the county and confer with
the county commissioners at their
meeting, Aug. Is.
DIR. Dubois stated he was highly in
favor of permitting the iron range
counties to build branch route
through that interesting and pictur-
esque country. He also felt assured
that the association would be glad to
call attention on their markers to the
Itasca Park route through Sauk Cen
tire, Long Prairie and north. He felt
certain this would prove more popu-
lar route to the Itasca Park region
than any other route, not excepting
the Jefferson highway.
He emphasized that it was up to the
people along the new route to keep
UP their roads and if they provided
the highway the picturesqueness of
the country woud do the rest and ten
autos would pass through here where
one passes now.
He pointed out that Stearns coun-
ty has good overseers but that at all
times it was necessary to work in har-
mony with the county commissioners
to have good supervisors always on
the job.
He concluded with a severe arraign-
ment of the jefferson association me-
thods, that the association and Mr..
Clarkson were bunk all overland that
the new association would take every
step possible to hold up appropria-
tions made to an outside corporation
as has been revealed it is since the
route was announced and provisions
for retaining it laid down.
On motion of John McGibbon it was
decided that the Commercial Club rec
ommend to the city council that the
Melrose road be changed so as to
come in from the Mile Bridge straight
west to the south of the fair grounds
to Main street, thence north into the
city under the viaduct. This would
eliminate the railroad crossing near
the fair property. The cost of
Strengthening was estimated as small
and the new route would be less be-
wildering to strangers
Fifty dollars was appropriated to
help defray the expenses of Home
