BEMIDJI GETS BATTERY
FOR BASEBALL GAME

Looks very much as if there would
be a red hot baseball game in Be-
midi on the day of her Fourth of
July celebration when Red Lakes
crack team comes to play Bemidji.
Red Lake has the reputation Of al
ways being able to bring a fast ag-
gregation into every game played
and her list of victories is long
one. Bemidji has had no organized
team nor in fact any city team for
several seasons and some of the best
players of the city are now in the
army and navy. However, Bemidji
will do it's best to garner team
worthy of the mettle of the Red
Lakers and has already secured
crack battery from HibDing, consist
ing of Whitby and Edmonds, both, of
whom are we'll known in Bemidji.
The former is a pitcher and the latter
is his battery mate. Other players
will also be secured to make up the
other positions, -

With the British afeld, June 2S.
-"Hindenburg's delay in resuming

leaders. They are not worrying in
the least as our ability to stop the
drive increases proportionately to
the delay. 49,. =. -. ,'ss..+ 2
y MANY astounding rumors are cir
culating, accounting for the delay.
One has it that aSstrange disease is
devastating the Germans, but appar-
emily the foundation is only grippe.
Another rumor has it that there is
much dissatisfaction in. the German
army the soldiers apparently reaiiz-
ing their battle plans were less Cod
inspired than they were Informed,
but they still obey the commands. =,
Another rumor blames the wealth
er and ground. This is good. How
ever, the real reason is that probably
Hindenburg realizes he will never
have more men than he now has,
while the allied forces are constantly
increasing. Hence he is carefully
calculating possible man power be-
fore making a move"

DEADLY BARBERRY IS
STILL BEING FOUND

It is reported that the common
Fbarberry is still being found in Bel
strami county. Harold Aase, of the
United States department of agricul-
ture, who is now making an inspec-
tion trip in this vicinity, reports
finding barberry bushes badly in
fected with the rust.
1t is a known fact that the COM
mon barberry (Barberes Vulgaris)
harbors and propagates the black
stem rust of wheat and, in spite Of
the fact that this has been given a
great deal Of publicity, there are a
few people who are so careless or
neglible as to have this noxious bush
growing on their premises
Because the common barberry
harbors and propagates the black
stem rust of wheat it must be de-
stroyed. Order No. 2S Of the Min
nesota Commissioner of Public Safety
orders:
every person owning or having
charge of premises on which bar
berry bushes Of rust producing vari-
eties are grown or at any time found
growing, to forthwith destroy such
bushes"
If bushes are not destroyed within
a reasonable time the owners or per-
son in charge of such infested prem
ises must bear the expense or eradi-
cation which will be conducted un-
der state authority and the expense
will be collected by the county at
torney.
If any one is in doubt as to wheth-
er they have the common barberry
bush growing upon their premises,
they may find out by calling on A..
W. Aamodt, the county agricultural
agent. who is at the court house.
