Bemidji business interests and lead
ing farmers of this part of Beltrami
county got together yesterday after
noon in the Commercial club rooms
and when they had concluded their
meeting the proposed potato flour mill
had practically been assured for this
city.
Itawas splendid meeting and the
earnestness with which the PROPOSE
tion was discussed indicated clearly
that the success of the enterprise
would be assured. And it was.
On Friday, another meeting will be
held in the Commercial club quarters,
stockholders to gather and discuss de-
tails of organization, constitution,
and bylaws and also take up the elec-,

work.
1t is predicted that by the end of
the week the subscription will have
reached it's full quota. However, if
there are any who are interested they
should lose no time in ascertaining
details and all necessary information.
The project involves about $4,000,
which includes the splendid holdings
of the Bemidji Brewing Co. plant, in
Guiding the huge storage warehouse,
and is certain to receive the hearty
cooperation of the farmers and re-
suit in greatly increased clearing of
acreage and the planting of immense
crops of potatoes, a marked step in de-
velopment.

Fargo, N. D., Aug. 6.-The labor

interfere with the gathering Of North
Dakota's war crop, which, in some
sections of the state, is exceedingly

Custer: Weather conditions have
been favorable for seeding fall grain
and for it's growth. Threshinr is
mostly finished and elevators are full
of grain. Stock is looking we'll and
it is believed there will be plenty Of
feed to carry the stock through the
winter.
Sanders: Threshermens' reports
show the yield Of wheat to be 6k bu.
shells per acre, winter wheat turning
out better than spring wheat. There
has been as large an acreage put in
wheat this fall as there was last
year.
Missoula: The wheat yield, accord
ing to reports of threshermen has been
from 8 to ~ bushels per acre. The
acreage put in fall wheat is large,
than in 1917. The fields are in fine
shape and have a good stand. About
70 per cent of the wheat raised in
this county has been hauled to the ele.
vators.

Some very smart autumn blouses of

Fur as trimming ON autumn gar

this trimming. Nevertheless fur trim

THE GERM MANPOWER
MYSTERY.

(From the Philadelphia Record.)
A scrap of news came out of Ger
many the other day which was not
accorded the degree of attention it
would seem to deserve. It was the
announcement that the Teuton mill
tary authorities were about to extend
the age limit for service in the army.
Most of US, perhaps, have come to
believe that all Germany had left to
draw upon yer the octagen, mona
gen and centenarians, but the whole
Teutonic system has been a bother
some mystery from the very start.
We have been solemnly assured by
expert students of such things that
Germany deliberately set out many
years ago to conceal and understate
the full figures of it's manpower.
Others, equally expert, have denied
this, and have been at pains to show
that the kaiser really had as
many soldiers as he claimed he had.
While the truth may lie somewhere be-
tween the two camps, we have never
been able to get at it, and it may even
eludt US after all need for secrecy
shall have been wiped out by the es-
tablishment of peace.
The guesses of the various staticians
have been scarcely more enlightening
than, and certainly not nearly so en-
Pertaining as, the humorous mag.
inings of Stephen Leacock in his
dream-visit to Berlin, Incorporated in
the first chapter of his book, EUR
Their Foolishness." He is walking
down the Lindenstrasse with Count
Boob con ~Boobenstein, and the great
crowds of men in civilian dress all
around them puzzled the author. The
count said:
"It's a perfectly simple matter. l
see you don't understand our army
statistics. At the beginning of the
war we had an army of three million.
Very good. Of these, one million
were in the reserve. We called them

him but didn't have time to talk shop
with him. Mr.. Hill had been work
ing for three weeks eighteen hours a
day trying to get relief for the thous-
thern railway who were suffering
ands of employees Of the Great Nor
from the prevailing epidemic. He was
planning help for those already af-
flicted, and safety and prevention for
those not yet stricken. He had just
completed arrangements with the Ma
20 Brothers, the famous physicians
and surgeons of Rochester, Mimi, for
a supply Of serum for the prevention
of pneumonia, sufficient to treat ev-
cry of the u~ncounted thousands Of
employees of the Great Northern rail-
way. The bill for this wonderful SER
vice was paid by Louis w. Hill from
his W private purse. 1t was a con-
tribution to the cause of humanity.
The big job Of getting the medicine to
the men quickly and effectively was
handled by Mr.. Hill himself. He stuck
to the job day and night until word
came back from the remotest points
OF the system "all set" Every en-
ployee of the road and the family of
such employee had been notified that
Mr.. Hill had supplied the protective
serum. It was a great deed; a useful,
generous, manly deed. 1t is only one
example of the great and unselfish
services that have been rendered by
the busy, brainy and patriotic men of
America during the hours of this ma
TONS greatest tribulations. 1t is an
incident that indicates our growth as
a greater, better, more powerful and
more virile nation.

to the c~olors; that made four mllli6u.
Then, Of these, all who wished were
allowed to volunteer for special SER
vices. Half a million did 20; that
made four and a half million. In the
first year Of the war we suffered two
million casualties, but of these Is per
cent. or one and a half millions, re-
turned later to the c~olors, bringing
u grand total up to six million. This
six million we use on each Of six
fronts, giving a grand total Of thirty
six million. . And, mark you, be-
hind these we still have the Land
strum, made up Of men between fifty
five and sixty, and the Landslide,
reputed to be the most terrible Of all
German levies, made up by with
drawing the men from the breweries.
That is the last final act Of national
furry" .l'as ~4
The landslide, Of course, is due, if
it hasn't already begun to move; but
may we hope to find in the debris Of
the war, after it has sufficiently COLI
ed for examination, wholly satisfac-
tory evidence of what has been the
exact manpower Of Germany in this
conflict? Perhaps; but statistics at
present available are scarcely depend
able. .dt

ports showing a higher yield. A large
amount Of fall blowing has been done.
Hill: Late flax has yielded from
one to three bushels an acre of good
quality. Many farmers have left the
county to secure winter employment.
In some communities 20 per cent have
left. Stock rustlers are busy.
Toole: Fall seeded crops are re-
ported suffering from lack of mois-
ture. All blowing has ceased on ac-
count of the land being SO dry.
.Ravalli: The potato crop is report
ed of good quality with about so per
cent of normal yield. Apple picking
has been completed. There has been
a shortage of labor and many women
have assisted in the potato harvest.
Rosebud: A good acreage of win
ter wheat is being put in, but not in
the best shape because of lack of
feed for horses, insufficient equipment
and shortage in help. Livestock is
going in the winter in good shape and
most Of the grain has already been
marketed.
