COUNTY AUDITOR IS
home FROM TAKING
MUCH NEEDED REST

j. L. George, auditor Of Beltrami
county, returned this morning from q
vacation, and it was "s0me outing"
as he has been, absent four weeks,
taking a much needed rest from the
heavy grind of his responsibilities.
Vacations are practically unknown
to Auditor George and he certainly
had one coming. this being the long
est he has even been absent from his
office. And when he decided to take
a rest he just naturally kicked loose
from everything that pertained to
work and started. Fact is he only
heard from home twice since he dis
appeared"
The first leg of the trip took him
to st. Paul and Minneapolis, then on
to Milwaukee and to Chicago.
"Taking in" these cities he pro-
ceeded to St. Louis, hit the trail for
Denver, kept it up and landed in San
Francisco, took jaunt to Los An
geles and hop schotched around In
general and when he considered he
had seen ough for one short rest he
put his helm to port and headed for
good old Bemidji, and everybody was
glad to see him and learn that he
hadn't deserted them nor enlisted.

Rosby Creamery One Of
Most Prosperous Plants

for ice, $2O325 for supplies, $455 for
buttermaker, $27.56 for starter milk,
and the sinking fund benefited to the
amount of $224.98.
The association has a membership
Of 100 and during the winter rs of
these have been steady patrons of the
creamery. It is expected that the
number of patrons will pass the 100
mark during the coming summer.
One Of the most encouraging feat
ures of this concern is that its en-
tire output could easily be sold to
eastern firms, but the local demand Is
so heavy the company only ships its
excess production. However, it Is
expected the growth of the creamery
will permit heavy shipments to out
side markets and at good prices in
the near future.
The officers of the company con-
sist Of: President, H. r. Gillette;
secretary, August Jarchow; treasurer,
H. Larson.
The superintendent of the butter
making is H. Larson, widely recog-
nized as an expert in this line.

worth at least IS to "Rass" to per-
form the way he did in the city of
Bemidji at 50 early an hour and again

spot.
Then Chief Ripple escorted the
stranger, outside to the corner of the
city building and, pointing toward
the tall ones said, "Git."
And Thorson "got."
Figuring up the days work it was
discovered that Judge Gibbons had
accumulated $35 in fines during the
day and had the change to show for
it, and it was also discovered that
during the past six months the cash
receipts in police court amounted to
$36.
Richard Fenton, more familiarly
known to his many friends as "Dick, "
has been named by Judge Gibbons
as clerk of the court and is on the
job.

One Of the most flourishing indus
tries in this vicinity and one which
deserves hearty cooperation is that
of the Rosby Cooperative creamery,
of which Edward Paulson is the Sec
retary, and the report for the first
six months of the creamery's exist
ence is indeed flattering.
The creamery was opened last June
and since that time, the report shows,
27,724 pounds of butter have been
churned from 22,473.3 pounds of but
ter-fat, the total pounds of over-run
being 5,251, or a percentage Of over
run Of 1913.
The average price paid for butter
fat was 1912 cents, the patrons of
the creamery receiving $7,673.95.
Butter bringing $s,146.62 was ship
ped and $476.20 worth was sold
among the patrons of the institution
and $67.12 worth locally. Milk and
cream valued at $3.50 was sold and
buttermilk brought 1865. During
the period of operation mentioned
$119.50 was paid for wood, $12.25

When he returned some time later he
was accompanied by a stranger who

BAND QUESTION
UP AT MEETING
OF COMMERCIAL
CLUB LAST NIGHT
Leader Chosen for Months Trial
Manager Also Named; Riggs
Gives Valuable Hints.
CHARLES STUDLEY PRESENTS
NEW BRIDGE PROJECTS
Firm of Geib & Liebsle Taken Into
Membership; Firm of Archi-
tects and Engineers.

At the meeting of the Commercial
club last evening, the members of the
Bemidji band appeared to take up the
matter of band support but it was
discovered that when they were ready
to broach the proposition they had no
manager and no formal plan outlined
as to what they desired. The ques-
tion of leader was embodied in the
bang subject but the band had no
one In mind and the upshot of it was
the band boys were instructed to re-
tire and effect an organization which
they did, electing Fletcher Grimoldby
manager and suggesting that P. B.
as leader. He has been instruct
ing the band for the past month.
It then developed that the band
proposed to pay the band leader 500
per month and as he had not drawn
any salary for the past month the
club suggested that the band appoint
a committee and granted permission
to solicit for the funds proposed.
Valuable Advice.
G. Oliver Riggs of Crookston, lead
er of the Crookston band, was pres
ent upon invitation Of the band to
talk for the benefit of the Commercial
club on the subject Of band organi-
zation and conduct of such organiza-
ton. The Crookston band is famous
throughout the state and Mr.. Riggs
is thoroughly in a position to give
valuable advice which he did. He
includes in his work in Crookston
the instruction of a juvenile band of
81 members, the largest juvenile
band in the United States. He is also
the leader of the crack Crookston
band.
Bridges Endorsed.
Charles Studely, a farmer living
north of Bemidji, addressed the coun-
Gil on the subject of some bridges
and the club members endorsed the
project, it being a link in the pro-
posed Cass Lake road.
The firm of Geib & Leibsle was
voted into membership, the members
being architects and engineers, off,
ces in the Markham block.
