the accurate basket shooting of Miss

DECISION ON THE APPAM
Its Nature Will Not Be Made Known

Washington, March o.-The state
department yesterday sent to Count
Won Bernstorff, the German embassa-
dor, it's decision in the case Of the
British liner Appam, which was cap
tured by German raider and brought
into Hampton Roads in charge of
prize crew. Announcement of the con-
tents will be withheld at the request
of counsel for the German govern
ment, pending decision in the legal
action brought by the agents of the
original British owners in the Federal
court at Norfolk. Consequently, the
court will be allowed to interpret the
Prussian-American treaty, which is
claimed by Germany to provide that
German prize may remain in Ameri-
can waters indefinitely, with immuni-
ty from legal proceedings instituted
by the original owners in an attempt
to regain possession of the ship. 's

Thief River Falls and Bemidji are
in another "argument." This time
it is over the Northwestern Mime
sofa high school football champion
ship. The Bemidji and Thief River
Falls teams came through the season
with excellent records and Bemidji
volunteered to play the Thief River
Falls eleven. The Thief River Falls
team offered the excuse that two of
its star players were out of the game,
but Bemidji also had two star men
out and was willing to take chance.
Bemidji offered to play at Bemidji,
Fosston or Thief River Falls, but the
Thief River Falls coach said that
the grounds were frozen. That team
was then notified that unless a game
was played Bemidji would claim the
title. Bemidji claimed the title and
now Thief River Falls has set I'D a
cry. In order to settle all claims
Bemidji although the team has dis
banded, offers to play the Thief
River Falls team on a weeks notice.
Will that team accept?

Darcy has received so much ad-
vertising in this country, and of such
favorable nature that he would
have no trouble at all in filling any
auditorium in the nation to the raft
ers. 1t is hardly probable he would
be called upon to meet Gibbons or
Dillon right off, but there are plenty
of good boys who could be sacrificed
in order to bring his work before the
fistic public.
Doubtless, too, the advent of the
Australian wonder would do much to
revive the inanimate game of boxing
in this country. A youth with his
ability and alleged traits of char
acter would easily put lot of pep

Edwards Olive Tablets are
a Harmless Substitute E

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the SUBJ
stitute for calomel-are mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. They are the re-
suit of DR.. Edwards determination not
to treat liver and bowel complaints with
calomel. His efforts to Danish it brought
out these little olive-colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the
good that calomel does, but have no bad
after effects. They don't injure the
teeth like strong liquids or calomel.
They take hold of the trouble and
quickly correct it. Why cure the liver
at the expense of the teeth? Calomel
sometimes plays havoc with the gums.
So do strong liquids. It is best not to
take calomel, but to let DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets take its place.
Most headaches, "dullness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation and
a disordered liver. TakefD Edwards

Bemidji is on the Jefferson high

tive for the highway as they should
be. The highway between this city
and the state park is in poor condi-
ton. The highway between. this
city and Bagley is even in worse con-
dition. If Bemidji wants to remain
on the highway, more interest must
be taken by all of the citizens. The
highway is worth more to Bemidji
than a new railway and Bemidji
should show it's appreciation by keep
ing up the standards of the ''Pine to

MOST POPULAR BREED
Size Is Quality That Recon-
mends the Light Brahma.
Has No Superior Where Large and
Slow Maturing Fowls Are De-
sred-Barred Where Egg Pro-
duction Is Chief Item.

by PROF. RI L. KEMPSTER, Missouri
College OF Agriculture.)
The Light BrahIna Is the oldest and
perhaps the bestknown and most pop
ular of the feather-legged chickens.
Size is the quality that recommends
the Light Erahina. Where large and
slowly maturing fowls are desired, the
Light BraLna has no superior, but the
slowness of maturity is very objection
able in the pullets, which, together
with the fact that they are not very
heavy layers when matured, practi-
cally bars this breed where egg pro-
duction Is the chief item.
There is no other breed of fowls that
mas the stately appearance possessed
by the Brahna. These fowls are close
feathered like the l.angShans. but are
larger and not so long legged. They
are not us heavily feaihered as the
COch!nS. They are very graceful In
appearance ana carry themselves in ii
stately manner. The back on both
male and female is very long and
OToau. mere should ne a Slight rise
Of the back with u broad sweep at the
base Of the tail. The birds should he
erect and well placed on their legs.
Abundant toe feathers is also very
desirable feature.
Taking the American Standard of
Perfection as 81 guide. the following
are the special qualifications and dis
qualifications Of the Light Brahma
fowls, when being judged according
10 the Standard of Perfection.
Special qualifications are: Cocks
over three pounds. cockerels over two
and a half pounds, hens and pulets
over two pounds less than standard
weight. Vulture hooks also disqualify.
