closed with the finishing Of packing
the clothing, bedding, shoes and
other apparel for the relief OF the
fire victims. last evening. Shipment

were limited, but the heavy dona-
tions to the fire relief practically
cleaned up the homes Of Bemidji OF
this class Of articles. which would
not pay the salvage headquarters to

INTERESTING DECISION
RENDERED BY STANTON;
NOVEL POINT IS RAISED

I 4 decision just handed down by
Judge Stanton in the district court
will be of>interest to the members
of the Broth herhood of Railway Train
men and many others, it being the
case of Miss Mary McManus, admin
istratriX, versus the B. of r. r., to
recover on a life insurance policy
held by James M. Sines in the broth
erhood. Judgment was rendered for
the principal and costs amounting to
S1,9S1 in~favor of the plaintiff.
Sines had taken out his member
ship in 1910, his policy being for
$500. In 1914 he was burned to
death. but payment Of the policy was
denied it being claimed that Sines
had misrepresented his age. He was
unable to read or write. but could
sign his name. All premiums and
other assessments had been paid
when Sines met his fate.
Mrs. Sines died last June and Miss
McManus was named Administrative.
Suit was commenced for the amount
Of the policy and the defendant
argued tnat Sines had misrepresented
his age. The judge ruled that as
the plaintiff to whom the policy was
issued had not been informed Of Its
contents he could not and did not
misrepresent and entered judgment
accordingly.
John J. McGrath Of st. Paul rep
resented the defendant, and Judge
Gibbons the plaintiff.

NEW RULES MADE
FOR EATING PLACES

New food regulations for public
eating places throughout Minnesota
became effective today. Compliance
with the new orders will be volun-
tary, though proprietors who are not
patriotic enough to obey, A. D. Will
son, federal food administrator for
the state, pointed out. will be forced
to do so through the control Of their
sugar supplies and other licensed
foods.
The new regulations bring about
some marked changes in the res
taurant business in Bemidji.
The rules forbid:
Serving more than one kind of
meat to a customer: serving toast or
bacon as a garniture; more than one
half ounce OF butter or one-half
ounce of American cheese; sugar
bowls; serving of bread before the
first course is brought to the table;
use OF foods for display so as to
cause deterioration in it; burning of
waste foods; serving of bakery prod
ucts containing less than the re-
quired 20 per cent of wheat -four sub
stitutes.

in the prime of life. He has wife

and district by representing them on
the board of county commissioners.
), What Mr.. Rako has done since
coming to this section, of the state

twenty-five years ago with So cents
in money and postage stamp. His
first job was in the brick yard, south
of the .townsite. In 1896 he filed
on a homestead, which has since
developed into a modern farm. 1t
took courage and hard labor to put
this over, and ED" was the kind to
do it with a vim.
He has grown with the community,
taken part in every constructive
movement in the county and has
been in the harness, both for the
county and himself and family.
Roads, bitches and bridges have been
his favorite hobby and he has built
many of them The first road cut
into Bemidji from the south was
one in which Mr.. Rako took promi-
nent part.
Now he has been asked to repre-
sent Beltrami county in the legis-
lature. Can he do it? Does he
know what the needs Of this county
are? Has he lived here long enough
to qualify fittingly for this office?
The general opinion is he has. The
city and town folk know he will
make good. The farmers know they
would have a friend at court.

SEED CORN ANTICIPATED

Minneapolis, Oct. %. = Because
outside states are already indicating
that they will call upon Minnesota
for seed corn for next year, F.. E.
Balmer, county agent leader for
Minnesota, is sending to county
agents throughout the state a letter
urging strongly the continued selec-
tion of seed corn this fall.
Michigan, New York, parts of the
Red River Valley, North Dakota,
Nebraska. Kansas, Missouri and
southwestern Iowa, are all likely to
he short of seed corn. A campaign
was carried on in September to en-
courage Minnesota farmers to select
twice as much seed corn as they
would need for next year in order to
have surplus for their own use in
case of a shortage in next years
crops. Farmers are now urged to
make still further selections in order
to meet the outside demand.
"No section is in better position
to furnish extra seed corn than south
and central Minnesota" said Mr..
Balmer. County agents are there
fore urged to encourage farmers to
make additional selection
At the same time, Mr.. Balmer is
calling on county agents for reports
of the amount of seed corn already
on hand so that the state may know
definitely what it may have in sup
plies next spring.

OF Federated Missions at Karuizawa,

A resolution has been adopted, call

obtain all possible data from mission

was the concensus of opinion that
wide use of evangelistic publicity
should be made after the war.
Rev. Albertus Pietcrs of Oita came

Mr.. Pieters told business men that
Americans who were putting $1,000

Japan should be convinced that it
would be good business to put $1,000
into it for advertising the work.

$1,000.
A century or two ago Christianity
was believed to have been stamped
out of Oita province, and up to the
childhood of the oldest inhabitants,

oath they had no taint of Chris
