Farmers mbe Clubs Join in
Observing Annual Picnic

Nearly 200 men, women and chill.
dren joined in celebrating the an
nual picnic OF the Frohn Equitable
and the Big Lake Farmers club on
the shores Of Swenson Lake Wednes-
day, July II. 1t was an occasion
long to be remembered ''.,
Prof. A. j. Mcclure of the Uni
versity Extension department, was
the principal speaker. He chose as
his subject 1.-THE Cow, and Crop ,Ro-
tation."
With the aid of charts he clearly
showed the advantages of graded ana
pure bred cows over the common
COW. He produced figures galore to
prove his statements.
In urging the keeping of records,
so that the farmer will know what
his cows and farm is producing, he
brought out the fact that It would
be absolutely necessary when land
is worth from 500 to 5000 per
acre.
"If you want your boy to own
your farm, he must be better farm
er than you are" declared Mr.. Nc
Guire
The three field crop rotation on
the average farm was recommended,
and the kind of crops with which to
rotate was also fully discussed. He
also cautioned the farmers to pro-
duce all that is possible on account
of the war and stated that the war
was not over yet, but more certain
to be one of long duration.
E. c. Bergh. president of the Big
Lake club, presided at the meeting.
In calling upon the speakers he
wasted no words in useless introduce

MORRISON IS AGAIN
CHOSEN PRESIDENT OF
CHIPPEWA INDIANS

John G.. Morrison, Jr., of Red Lake
Indian agency, was this morning re-
elected president of the Chippewas OF
the council now in session in this
city. The term of the presidency
was extended to a period of two
years. Chief Morrison is a Carlisle
graduate. is an Elk. Mason and is
one of the real big men" of the
tribe
John w. Carl was reelected vice
president of the tribe, defeating Ben
Caseell. Carl is an old boyhood
friend and schoolmate of Chief Nor
rison.
Paul s. Beaulieu was reelected
secretary of the council. All of the
officers made short speeches in both
the Chippewa and English after they
were elected.
One of the first considerations for
the convention is a method by which
the Chippewas will be able ITO. obtain
4 verdict in its suit against the gov
ernment for $53O,O0O, alleged to be
due them for educational institu-
tions. II this suit is won it will
mean that other claims of a similar
nature and aggregating $4,O00,OO0
will automatically be settled in ia
vor Of the Chippewas.
Another $6,OOO,OO0 is claimed un-
der the treaty of 1889. when the
Chfppewas ceded certain lands tb
the United States government as ag-
ricultural lands. The Indians now
assert that these lands were filled
with good timber and that the gov
ernment sold them as timber lands
to homesteaders. Agents Of the In
dians have been busy searching the
files of the local office for records Of
sales of these lands by the govern
ment to homesteaders.

DRAWING
Big CROWDS; VARIOUS
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

A large crowd was at the Dicker-
son carnival last night, given un-
der the auspices of the Elks, and
they "took in" everything there was
in sight. They visited all the shows
saw Captain Webb hurtle through
the air from a dizzy height in his
famous dive for life, and rode the
merrygo-round, etc.
The crowd busted themselves with
wheels of fortune, and other devices
in which skill figured.
One man from the northern part
of the county bought ten cents worth
of baseballs and threw them at the
baby rack and never hit one. Then
he wrote a letter home and told his
wife how he missed the children.
Taking it all around the carnival
presented an animated scene.

each instance
M. ~ Kohl of Cass Lake was call
ed and gave a splendid good roads
talk, urging the help of the club
members in building a new connec-
| tion to Cass Lake.
| Nels Willis gave very interest
ing talk on cooperation of the farm
er with the merchant and also called
attention to the fact that it was
equally important, to produce crops
or feed for cattle as for the masses.
With regard to cooperation, he said
that the farmer cannot succeed with
out the merchant and the merchant
cannot expect to succeed without
the farmer. Both must pull together
if they expect to win out, he as
serted.
Mr. Willis also brought out the
advantages of proper farm buildings
and recommended the concrete base
ment and concrete silos for barns.
E. H. Denu was also called upon
for a few remarks and heartily en-
dorsed the addresses made by the
preceding speakers.
The clubs held an after dinner ses-
sion and discussed the advisability
of turning out to work on the road
suggested by Mr.. Kohl.
Not the least important part of
the days events was the splendld

ALL OFFERINGS WERE LISTED
DELINQUENT; ACREAGE SMALL

Disposing of Big Holdings; Next
Sale August 8.

An unusually large amount of
state lands for this time of year
were disposed of at the regular
monthly state land sale yesterday
conducted by j. F. Gould of the state
auditors office. Strangely, practic-
ally every description purchased was
either a small and desirable lake
front or something adjacent to a
lake, and all lands sold were on the
delinquent list and had evidently
been overlooked from month ito
month by the home people of Be-
midi. Owing to the fact that the
the total acreage sold was small,
totaling about 200 acres, the average
price paid per acre being $3.50.

Mr.. Gould states that the state
land appraisers will start work ap-
praising new and delinquent state
lands on August 1, which lands will
be offered for sale at the 1918 sales,
and that it is the desire. of State
Auditor Preus that any resident of
the county who is interested in buy
ing any particular piece of state
land not heretofore offered request
him to have such 1a1ld appraised and
offered. Those interested should
either send State Auditor Preus di-
rect description or the land, or give
the information to County Auditor
J. L. George. Mr.. Preus is anxious
to put on sale next year as far as
possible lands in which the public
is interested, and for which there
will be a demand, and if the people
will but signify their desires he will
go as far as possible to please them.

State Auditor Preus will welcome
suggestions from anyone interested
as to what sections of land in the
