McCarty ETC., he goes out and buys him in the open
market, having the coin to do that
$50 far as judgment of ball players is concerned.
to-days batting averages in the National League will
prove that McGraw has let star ball PLAYERS get
away from him, such Merke, Groh Stock, ETC.. while
he passed along Rube Marquard who is the equal Of
any OF his present pitchers and let Demarec 90 only to
repurchase him by the doubtful cxpedent Of releasing
Kilduff together with bunch of money These ara
but few Of his questionable DEALS
1.-THE whole story of McGraw's successful manag cling
seems to be barrel Of coin combined with some abil
ty as field leader though the majority of managers
might have that same ability they given chance
to work under favorable circumstances as McGraw
Higgins, for INSTANCE, found it hard padding in St.
Louis where his limited but when given
the key to Colonel Ruppert's money bags he imne-
diately bobs up with one-two team and upon the
field is showing quite much managerial strategy as
McGraw has been credited with.
"ln other words, McGraw has been made by hs
players more than his players have been made by him

have been impossible for the Giants finish seventh or
eighth, they have finished providing McGraw is as
good people held It 10 interesting to note that
the managerial equation not strong enough to
beat the Braves In 1914. nor to suppress slump in
1913 after it looked though the Polo Grounders
were to run away with tho National League psnnant.

.PETERSON'S PARENTS
FLEE FROM FLAMES:
KEEP SAFE In LAKE

The parents Of A. w. Peterson OF
the Baker Jewelrya store had a mar
rowing experience during the recent
forest fires, for with the approach O.:
the flames they entered their auto
and drove from their farm home two
and one-half miles to a lake, drove
the car into the water and awaited
the result.
The flames roared all around them
and they watched the terrible path OF
the roaring blaze which hurled dense
clouds, of smoke skyward. For hours
they stayed in the lake and us the
flames continued their onward sweep
they ventured to return to their
home. ..r -. !,
The house was still standing and
so was the big barn, practically every
thing else on the place being swept,
including the granary and crops.
Entering the house the Peterson,s
were surprised to discover two small
children suffering from severe burns.
They had fled from the flames and
had sought refuge in the house still
standing. The children were given
prompt attention. ~ ..

BIG CONVENTION FOR
BEMIDJI in DECEMBER:
]. DAIRYMEN COMING

Bemidji will be called upon Dec
5ember l and IL to entertain one of
the most important conventions
held annually in the state, that of
the Red River Dairymen's associa-
ton, and it's presence here will be
due to the efforts of Helmer Larson,
butter maker of the Rosby Creamery
company .E.-
The Importance of this event is
better understood when it is stated
that this will be the first time in the
history of the organization that it
ever held a convention outside of
it's central zone of counties, which
comprises tthe entire northwest sec
ton Of the state, Beltrami county
being the eastern boundary, with
IWadena ! county as. the southern
limit. ~
Another vital factor to be reconed
with is that at the meeting last
year there were about 750 members
of the association present, and fully
as many ass are expected to be in
Bemidji. ~:
1t is up to the business men to
provide a suitable meeting place and
entertainment for the dairymen, and
the affair should be given every CO.
operation.

WILL BE FEDERALIZED

The Minnesota motor reserve
corps is to be federalized and placed
on permanent basis as part Of

PIONEER FIRE FUND
REACHES S0YER $500
WITH MORE COMING
FOR THE DESTITUTE
IT'S NOT THE AMOUNT YOU
GIVE, IT'S THE SPIRIT

. Noticeable to a marked degree
is the support being given to the
forest fire victims in Bemidji by
the wage earners and the salaried
man, and those who are obliged
to hew closely to the line to make
both ends meet. 1t is not the
amount contributed that eviden-
ces the spirit of humanity and
sympathy for tthe unfortunate,
it is the desire to extend a well
:ome hand to the helpless in their
hour of dire distress.
Some Of those in position in
Bemidji have made generous con-
tributions, they, too, showing the
right spirit. There are many
others who could help greatly by
following their example.
The stricken peoples of the fire
swept district are of us. They
are of Minnesota. The hand Of
mercy, not charity, should be ex-
tended.
