ROOSEVELT CALLS .
ssoh COP. TO BACK
I. VI. WOMAN

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Jan. .5.-Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt urged a united
Republican party behind the proposed
constitutional amendment granting
suffrage to women in a letter he
wrote to William r. Wilcox, chair
man of the national committee of the
Republican party.
II earnestly hope,"' wrote the
colonel, ''that the Republican party
as such, will do everything possible
to get all it's representatives in Con-
gress to vote in favor of the consti-
tutional amendment giving women
suffrage.
"This is no longer an academic
question. The addition of New York
to the suffrage column, l think, en-
titles us to say that as matter both
of Justice and common sense, the ma
tion should no longer delay giving
the suffrage to women.
"Will you also let me urge as
strongly as possible that there be an
immediate addition to the Republican
national committee Of one woman
from every suffrage state. I do hope
this action can be taken"

EFFORTS Being MADE
TO SUPPLY FARMERS
With FEED FOR STOCK

A determined effort is to be made
for securing an adequate supply Of
rough feed for stock for the farm
ers in this vicinity, and to that end
the Beltrami County Public Safety
commission has appointed DR.. w. X.
Denison, the veterinary surgeon, to
assist the farmers.
DR.. Denison has had much expert
ence in securing hay and straw for
his own needs and is in close touch
with conditions in this vicinity and
elsewhere, and he knows what feed
is good for all kinds Of stock. The
idea is to have DR.. Denison do the
purchasing. 1t is the intention to
have groups Of farmers get together,
figure out their needs and notify DR..
Denison and he will attempt to Sc
cure the required feed. For his SER
vices, charge of SO cents per ton
is to be made. This is to be used
for kilograms, letters and other in
cidental expense.
It is not a project financed by the
safety commission nor DR.. Denison,
and the money for the feed secured
must be ready when the purchase Is
made.
II enough interest Is taken in this,
DR.. Denison will go out and get the
feed situation we'll in hand for the
farmers in the vicinity Of Bemidji
and nearby points surrounding.

GARFIELD'BLAMED FOR
! OHIO COAL SHORTAGE

Washington, Jan. 5.-Ohio people
are burning their fence rails and
pickets and are cutting down fruit
trees this winter, because, according
to Attorney General Joseph H. Nc
Ghee of that state, they were told
last September by Fuel Administrator
Garfield 20 rely on his Imaginary
coal pile"
Testifying before the Senate manu-
features: subcommittee Attorney
General McGhee said he came tc
Washington last September and told
DR.. Garfield that fuel famine was
impending. He declared he explain,
ed that the mines were running be-
low capacity production, that most OF
the coal was going to-the Northwest
that the factories had their coal un-
der contract from last spring, and
that the domestic consumers could
not procure coal for the winter. Dr.
Garfield then described his "imagin-
ary coal pile" plan and asked him tc
be patient until the coal needed by
the Northwest could be shipped.
McGhee then described correspon-
dence with the fuel administrator
lasting two months, which failed to
get coal for; Ohio's domestic consul
mers. Finally because public utili-
ties committees were so affected and
there was no prospect of relief, the
state commandeered coal on the rail
roads. Thewe was then about 10, 900
carloads on sidings, McGhee said, get
ting nowhere.
He cited one instance where four
carloads on a trip of 80 miles, stood
on a siding midway between mine
