NORTHWEST WILL PAY. -
: FOR NAILS FOR KAISER'S
COFFIN: QUOTA PILES UP

Minneapolis, Oct. 2.-"The north
west--that Liberty Wheat raising
section of the United States-has
turned over to the reserves district
bank vaults enough money to put all
the nails in the world in the Kaiser's S
coffin--but they're not going to
waste money on any such foolishness
as that. All the nails he'll get to
take with him will be counted Aon
his. fingers and toes said Theodore
Void, governor Of the Ninth Federal
reserve district, today. .# -.
here's yet room in the vaults,
however, for several millions more,
bank officials observe, and the Ninth
district has had to do more than
raise it's quota of the Fourth Liberty
Loan to keep up with its reputation.
1t raised more wheat, corn and oats
this year--not mentioning barley
land rye--than ever before. 1t got
more money for the crops than ever
before. &.ts- IL
1T. must buy more bonds than
ever before and when the interest is
paid on the bonds the war is over and
we are still raising big crops to feed
the foreign countries---the principal
will be paid then and the northwest
will have more money than ever be-
fore"
So say Liberty Loan drive leaders
today in urging final smash for the
Fourth Liberty loan.

LAWN AND PARKWAY
TRESPASSERS TO FEEL .
WEIGHT OF ORDINANCE

Complaints long and strong have
been coming to the park board of
the city about people making short
cuts across parkings, and lawns Of
corner lots, and this matter is to be
given Immediately attention and of
the right sort to check this abso-
lutely senseless trespass and destruc-
tions of slightly parking and yards.
For some reason or other, thought
less people have gotten into the habit
of cutting across streets and wear
ing paths across parkings of homes,
causing not only unsightliness to the
lawn but saving perhaps, few steps
on the part of the Offenders. Anoth-
er habit is to cut lawns on corner
lots, saving only a few steps and
spelling the lawn. Property owners
are entitled to protection in thus
damaging their property and such is
to be afforded.
Signs are to be furnished and post
ed at places where the offenders have
warning Of the provision of the park
board ordinance passed by the city,
section five being as follows: =
mo person shall go on foot or
otherwise upon the grass or turf of
any park or parkway where any pro-
hibitory sign is posted" z
. Section No. 81 provides the penal
ty upon conviction of Imprisonment
in the county or. city Jail "for a
period of not exceeding 80 days or by
fine of not less than 50 or more
than $780," and in default of such
fine the defendant will nave to serve
the Jail sentence.
Warning signs will be printed on
red cardboard and posted on specially
made posts, driven into the ground
where needed.

GIBBONS CHANGES OLD

go" SUSCEPTIBLE VISITOR

The hardest jolt received in Be
.midji at the hands Of municipal
court judge for similar offense was
that dealt Andrew Moen by Judge
Gibbons yesterday. as published, for
instead Of the old time "$5 and
costs he drew $50 fine and paid it,
having come to Bemidji to see the
sights after season of logging at
Red Lake. And 1t may be that the
Judge knocked a Liberty Bond out
of commission for the accused re-
marked after the assessment that he
had intended TO purchase one.
The joke of it Was that Moen is
not a stranger to Bemidii and had
put up a $25 cash bond for his ap-
'pCarance in court after his arrest
He showed up at the police court, ex-
pecting the usual fine Of IS and re-
fund of the other $50. He got an
additional $25 tackled onto his cash
bail of $25, making total of $50.
His fair companion forfeited her $50

SERGEANT LOSESLAST GAME
fight; WASF0RMER TEACHER

smiled and said, Thanks, I'll be back
in few minutes with you
They sat there together, the half
a. dozen of the sergeant's bunkies, all
invalids, with the nurse of the ward,
just musing and talking like that,
trying to realize that the sergeant
was gone. Mess time came and went,
and no one paid any attention to it
they were thinking only of the SER
geant. =
The sergeant was Frank Carbaugh
of Greencastle, Pa, a member of the
seventh machine gun sanitary de-
tachment. His mother is Mrs. Car
baugh, and no mother ever reared a
braver, son. -. E
Didn't Talk of Deeds.
The sergeant, who was mathe-
matte teacher before the war, was
into action near Chateau -Thierry.
None Of his bunkies knew just how,
because, as one of them explained,
''The sergeant wasn't the kind of a
fellow who'd talk of himself. You
can bet he was wounded doing some
thing for somebody, though"
They did know that the sergeant
lay out in the open long time after
he was wounded. Medical records
showed that His leg was badly
smashed, and they operated at the
first hospital he reached. But gan
creme had set in, and four operations
had followed in an effort to save him.
They buried the sergeant in the
little American graveyard in a pretty
Lorraine valley, with an American
flag over the coffin, as Il soldiers
fred three shots over the grave and
the bugler gave taps Then some
of the boys whose injuries permitted
their attending the funeral, gathered
flowers in the valley and the nurses
placed them on the grave with red
white and blue ribbons around them.

The little group in the ward which

.'You don't mean the sergeant's

"Yes, boys, the sergeant's gone.
Four operations were just too much
for his strength. . He never regained
consciousness"
The little group of patients and the
nurse were silent.
The chap with one leg gone had
half deck of cards in his hand.
Dazed he relaxed, and the cards fell
to the floor, scattering over half the
ward. The chap with one leg gone
never noticed them.

CLOSING OF NORTHERN
 ARIZONA FAIR SURPRISE

With but one week before the open ing day of the Northern Arizona Fair it was found necessary by the North ern Arizona Fair Association, to can eel the 1918 Northern Arizona Fair.
 This action was taken after serious consideration on the part of the Fair Association and with deep regret.
 The plans for the holding of the Northern Arizona Fair had reached the point where the management knew that it would be the biggest and best celebration ever held under the Northern Arizona Fair Association. The cooperation from the state and the Northern five counties had made it possible for the management to proceed on a scale never before at- tempted by this organization.
 In view of the fact that it was inn possible for the health officers to give any approximate date as to when the quarantine would be lifted, the Fair Association could not postpone the Fair and set any particular date as to when it could be held, and the only feasible thing left to be done under the circumstances was to cancel the Fair.
 The Association had gone to a great deal of expense in making re- pairs to the grounds and buildings, as we'll as to advertising and office ex- pense. It was necessary for the Sec retary to send many telegrams advis- ing of the cancellation of the Fair; these to large outside concerns that had been banking on the holding of the Fair, one of the largest of which was the Tom Mix Film Corporation of California.
 This year the final payment on the grounds must be met and it places the Fair Association in a rather unsatis- factory position. A meeting of the entire Fair Association will be called immediately upon the return of Pres ident Fredricks from New York.
