Sl0,o00,00o CLAIMED
BY CHIPPEWA INDIANS
FOR LANDS & TIMBER

The Minnesota Council of Chip
pewas will hold it's annual meeting
here July 10. The sessions will con-
tinue for several days. One of the
business matters to come before the
council is the claim of $1O,OOO,OO0
for lands and timber sold to the gov
ernment for which the Indians say
they have never received pay.
About 12O delegates are expected
to attend from the Red Lake, Leech
Lake, White Earth, White Oak Point,
Fond du Lac, Cass, Grand Portage
and Nett Lake reservations. John
Morrison of Red Lake, chief of the
Minnesota Chippewas, will preside.
Each of the reservations, with the
exception of White Earth, are repre-
sented by one member of the exc
cutive committee. The White Earth
reservation because of it's large area,
is represented by two delegates.
Discussion will occur on the bill
before congress providing for juris-
diction so that the Indians may bring
their cases against the government
to obtain the money which they
claim is due them for lands and tim
ber
Officers of the Chippewas are:
President, John G. Morrison, Jr., of
Red Lake; vice president, John w.
Carl of Mahnomen; secretary, Paul
H. Beaulieu of Red Lake; treasurer,
o. H. Gravelle of Red Lake.

800 Cars Will
Greet Guests
Of J. H. Relay

If you have an automobile, a Ford,
wheels will do, put flag (the Stars
and. Stripes, by the .way) on it and
see that it is parked somewhere be-
tween America avenue on rourth
street to Minnesota avenue, or on
Minnesota avenue to Second street,
or on Second street between Mime
sofa and Beltrami avenue, or ON Bel
trami avenue from the Markham ho-
tel up to the court house, on the af-
ternoon of June 26.
It does not matter whether you
can stay with your car or not, see
that your car is on the job. Some
one will be glad to occupy 1t when
the big doings are taking place.
What are the big doings, you ask I?
Why, the annual sociability run of
the Jefferson Highway association.
This is the test run, by the way, and
upon the showing Bemidji makes
may depend the permanency of the
highway through this city. Bemidji
can and should have 800 cars in line.
At meeting Of the entertainment
committee last evening final arrange
ments were made for the entertain
ment of the visitors. The party may
number twenty-five or more who will
dine with Bemidji citizens at Birch
mont Beach hotel. The public is cor
dially invited. No special invita-
tions will be issued. Dinner will be
served at $50 o'clock.
Two Bemidji cars will meet the
party at Itasca Park and escort them
to Bemidji. They will be registered
at the Markham, which will be head
quarters while in the city.
Many are arranging to accompany
the cars, enroute to Winnipeg the
following day. Some will 20 as FAR
as Bagley and Red Lake Falls while
others may go through to Winnipeg.

PICNIC FOR
BUSINESS men And
WIVES IS SUCCESS

The third annual picnic of the Bel
trami County Federation of Farmers
clubs was held at the fair grounds
today. which means that the great
event Of the year has passed.
The farmers entertained the mer-
chants today with food, games and
speeches on the program.
The first number on the program
was good old-time farmers dinner
such as 1t is rare opportunity for
townspeople to partake of. Each of
the twelve clubs had their own ta-
BILE and each had a different menu,
the extent and variety of which in
cluded everything from steaming hot
chicken and brown gravy (nOt for
getting Jim French's hot coffee) to
real farmers ice cream and dainty
wafers
The dinner was followed by an ad-
dress by Hugh +. Hughes, editor of
the Farm Stock and Home maga-
zine. Mr.. Hughes cited crop pros
poets in the northwest 60 and urged
the careful conservation of all crops
grown and asked that farmers be
guarded at harvest time so that no
losses will occur.
A red hot" baseball game between
the farmers and merchants was q
feature Of the afternoons entertain

vine avenue and several other bad
places must be introduced into the
"sacred rites" of the "shovel and
rake"
40 man wants to be called Good
Roads Stacker" and no Bemidji man
is going to be one. If a man can't
go out himself he should hire a man
to take his place.
The highway west of the city to
Solway needs attention and a COM
mittee went over the road today to
mark the spots which are in poor
shape.
While this road cannot be put in
to first class shape in a few days,
it can be greatly improved with q
little effort. We must convince the
Jefferson Highway association that
we are vitality interested in road con-
ditions and willing to don the jump
er, shoulder the spade and execute a
good roads" movement when the
command comes.
The Jefferson Highway party will
reach here Tuesday evening and be-
fore that time there is work that
must be done. Beltrami county must
show these people a road much i'm
proved since their previous trip or
our retaining the highway will be
considered unfavorably.

BEMIDJI RED CROSS
CHAPTER ISSUES
APPEAL FOR MORE
GENEROUS GIFTS
Need of Immediate Action is Ap.
parent If Bemidji Does Its
Full Duty.
COMMITTEES TO WORK TOWNS
AND COUNTRY OF COUNTY
Business and Professional Men Are
Urged to Make Additional
Donations.

The way Red Cross funds have been
coming in the past few days is dis
couraging to the local chapter and
some are beginning to wonder if Be-
midi will subscribe it's full quota.
Committees have now been ap-
pointed to go by auto through the
country and neighboring towns of
the county to canvass for subscrip-
tions, which moneys will be credited
to the local chapter.
In a statement to the Pioneer the
committee makes the following ap-
peal with purpose of impressing the
general public of the need of prompt
and liberal cooperation:
"The Bemidji chapter of the Red
Cross has been given the amount of
five thousand dollars to raise as it's
share of the $1OO,OOO,OOO that is
necessary to equip and start the ma
tional organization. This money
must be raised and be available by
the time our army and navy are in
the field. The subscriptions locally
to date indicate that we are going
to fall far short of our allotment.
"There seems to be an unfortunate
disposition on the part of many to
see how little they can give and still
be represented on the list of donators
to this great and necessary work.
1.-THE canvass of the homes and
private individuals has brought forth
quite satisfactory results, but it is
only by larger, liberal donations of
substantial accounts on the part of
our active business interests that our
allotted sum can be raised.
"Mr Merchant, Doctor or Lawyer
look up your receipt and see what
you have given this cause. Then
figure whether or not you can not
do a little better. Do not wait to
be solicited again. Let your con-
science and your pride in Bemidji
and your appreciation Of this great
work govern you in the matter. Drop
into the headquarters and leave your
further subscription.
"There must be more generous
response from those who have al
ready given if we are to reach our
goal. Do not put it off. Attend to
it tomorrow morning. Tomorrow
issue of the Pioneer will contain
full list of all subscriptions to date
amounting to IS or more

RESPONSIBLE ONLY
TO GOD, SAYS GREEK
EX.KING CONSTANTINE
(By United Press)

Wy OullSu
Saloniki, June 21.-"I am not OBJ
liged to bow to the will of the peo-
pie; l am responsible only to God,"
ex-King Constantine of Greece de-
clared to Premier VeniZelos when the
latter insisted that the will of the
Greeks be recognized and that
Greece's treaty with Serbia be recog-
nized.
Venizelos reveals complete adher-
ence of Constantine to the Divine
Right theory to the United Press
The Greeks are willing to make an
other experiment in constitutional
monarchy, but they will hold that
the constitution must be revised so
that the king can not say that he is
responsible only to God.
