HOT BASEBALL GAME
SCHEDULED SUNDAY L
WHEN RIVALS CLASH

Kelliher vs., Red Lake; score of
games, one each. What's the an
|swer?
There's going to be one of the hot
test baseball games played in Be-
midji next Sunday afternoon at 2:3O
o'clock that ever was staged IN this
part of the country when the Kelli-
her nine and the Red Lake team of
redskins, led into Bemidji by Chief
Morrison, meet at the Bemidji base
ball park to settle the deciding game
on neutral grounds.
Kelliher cleaned up Red Lake
first. The secona time they met, Red
Lake slid for victory and the score
of games was tied. That's why
they're coming to Bemidji next Sum-
day to settle it.
Hubbard will be on the mound for
Kelliher and Graves will do the fling
for Red Lake. And the outcome is
going to change a nice big chunk of
the coin Of the realm.

SUBJECTS OF KAISER

Yankton, s. d., Sept. 3.--Threats
to defeat Governor Peter Norbeck
politically and charges that he ap-
portioned county draft quotas un-
fairly were contained in the petition
signed by German farmers of Hutch
inson county, which resulted in the
arrest of thirty of them and the plac-
ing of each under $4,000 bond to
stand trial in the Federal court.
The petition sent to the governor
declares "the draft system has been
forced upon us against our will and
without a referendum of the people,"
and asks exemption applying to in
dividuals only and not to counties.

MEXICO GIVES ASSURANCES OF
HER REMAINING NEUTRAL

Mexico City, Sept. 3.--Renewed as
surances that Mexico would remain
neutral on the world war were given
by President Carranza in his mes
sage at the opening of the regular
session of the Mexican congress.
The president reviewed the efforts
the Mexican government had made
toward peace, mentioning the note in
which he proposed that all neutrals
cease shipping supplies to the bellig-
erents. He said that probably as a
result of this Argentina had proposed
a conference to discuss the attitude
Of neutrals, but that after many
countries had agreed to attend it had
been decided to postpone the confer
ence indefinitely.

Duluth, Sept. 3.-Symbolized by
patriotic parade, and furtherer by
orations of prominent men, loyalty
found expression in Duluth Saturday,
both by word and action. In an out
burst of patriotism which knew no
bounds, this city pledged homage to
the country. The day was ideal,
citizenship was out in force and with
all Duluth paid worthy tribute to the
Stars and Stripes.
Ten thousand were in the line of
march, and passed in review before
$4,000 who lined the curbs. 1t was
a gigantic military and civic Demon
stration, a parade that had in its
columns the youthful Boy Scouts and
Civil war veterans, as we'll as our al
lied representatives. +r.:

loyalty was the theme of the
day, and it found voice with elQ-
Guence in the plea Of Governor J. A.
A. Burnquist, who spoke for Minne-
sofa on the day set aside for this
|state to prove to the world that it
was doing it's bit.
That we must destroy the serpent
who would want to rule the uni
verse, like the beast of the jungle,
in order to advance peace was the
opinion of Governor Burnquist, who
said in his address, eve must join
to defeat the war lords of Germany,
SO that the military monster may
inever raise his head in modern or
future civilization"
Duluth Congratulated.
Congratulations were extended
Duluth by the governor in his OPEN
ing words. He said "your demon
stration here speaks louder than
words. 1t shows where the people
of Duluth stand. Loyal to the United
States.
1--WE did not choose this war, Ger
many declared it. 1t\declared war at
a time when France was disrupted
with political scandal. When Eng
land was settling its differences with
ireland. When Russia was bent on
progress. Germany was prepared and
wanted to fight. She wants war and
God helping us we are going to give
her what she wants."
