EMBARCOES CHECK
U.S., AUTO EXPORTS

Washin gton, June l3.-(United
Press. "A tremendous. automobile
end truck shortage, is fast develop
ing in Europe because Of embargoes
on motor vehicles, now in, force in
England, France, and Italy, says Sec
retary C. c. Hanch of the National
Automobile Chamber Of Commerce.
Hanch, who has just returned from
four months investigation tour of
Europe, declared that European mar
kets could "use up every American
car and truck now. available over do
nestle requirements if the en-
bargoes were lifted. 49,. .
So strong is the demand there, he
said, that secondhand cars are SELL
ing at twice the figures paid for
them, VIXEN new, few years ago.
importers of American cars
abroad, "Hanch stated" have made
strong pleas for raising of the en-
bargoes now that the war is over
But the only country TO act is Great
Britain, who has permitted importa-
tion of one-fourth of that imported in
1913. France and Italy have taken
no action. 1t is worth noting that
there is only one car, for every 400
people in France, one for every 225
in Great Britain, while there is one
for every 18 in this country"
Hanch declared that the automo-
bile industry has greatly expanded
in Europe. because Of the many fac
tories which have sprung up during
the war He said, however, that the
plants will never be able to compete
with the American product workers
trained for producing in mass pro-
duction" And although these fac
tories have much increased the sup
ply Of cars and trucks abroad, they
are far from enough.
Exports Of American motor car
manufacturers are at the rate of
about $125, 100000 a year, which is
about ten per cent Of their total busi-
ness, and with the lifting of embar-
goes this amount will show material
increase, said Harch. ..-"

0UARTETTE FEATURES
CHAUTA0UA PROGRAM

On chautauqua programs quar-
tettes always hold popular place.
This season according to Vawter
chautauqua folks, Bemidji is to have
a real quartette, four fellows who
really sing. These fellows formerly
made up what was known in chau-
tauqua circles as the National Quar-
tette They were in great demand
and appeared on the programs Of the
greatest hautauqua assemblies in'the
country. Z.
Then the war came on and the
members of the !quartette answered
the call They were assigned to diff
ferent camps and went overseas in
different outfits. This spring George
Tack, the singer-comedian of the old
National Quartette, determined to re-
organize the company II possible and
spend one more season in chautau-
qua work. Investigation revealed the
fact that all Of the men had returned
and had been. discharged. So they
have re-organized the quartette and
under the management of George B..
Tack will be here for the opening
number Of our chautauqua. I
The base of the program Is said to
be built around the male quartette,
although the fellows do offer instru-
mental numbers and clever readings
by way of variety. The comedy hit
of the program is said to be Tack's
Interpretation Of the famous Quar-
tette from Rigoletto. In his number
the boys don long, flowing whiskers
and these hirsute adornments and the
burlesque gestures, together with the
singing, is said to. make this number
one of the cleverest bits of song
comedy on the platform.

AS a result of the poor fishing en-
countered in Upper Red Lake, max
ing the quantity of fish available for
shipping from the Red Lake fisher
les far less than the demand, Carlos
Avery, state game and fish commits
sioner, was in Bemidji this morn
ing. en- route to the reservation
where he will interview George W.
Cross, superintendent, in an effort to
secure permission to net fish in all
parts of both Upper and Lower Red
Lake.
Since fishing operations opened
last month the state has found it
necessary to confine Its fishing
operations to the section of Red
Lake which is outside of the reser-
-vation, demand being made that the
Indians are entitled to a bonus on
all t1sh sold which had been caught
in such waters as were within the
Sagency boundary lines.

AS the Red Lake fish supply is of
Importance in providing various mar
kets of the state, providing people of
Minnesota opportunity to secure
fresh fish at remarkably low cost,
this change in plans served as ser
ious handicap to the work, it being
necessary to haul the fish by motor
boat a distance OF so miles before
they could be prepared for shipment.
In consequence Of this tact Commits
sioner Avery made special trip to
Washington where he interviewed
members Of the Indian bureau in an
effort to arrive at some nnderstand-
Ing whereby fishing might be con-
. tinued.
With the approach of July and Au-
gust and, the increasing g demand for
fish it is essential that some ar
rangement be completed whereby the
fishing previously conducted at Red
Lake be renewed, and it Is for such
a purpose that Commissioner Avery
is making his trip today.
During the past year the state has
expended a large amount of money
, in improving it's Redby fisheries and
in building a motor boat to be used
for collecting purposes.

SNAKE DIES OF BROKEN
HEART

A short time ago a big snake
came to the city, and when he
crawled down Main Street from the
north until he came in contact with
the new pavement, it became be-
wildered at the rapid changes that
are taking place in Garden City.
The big snake took notice of the
White Way, and this was too much
for him, so he curled up and died
right on Main street at the north
end of the pavement. A few short
weeks ago a big hawk came to
the city and died of distraction
near the spot where the snake
died Of the same ailment. The
snake, like the hawk, was modest
ed but very little in its last sleep
ing place, and about all that dis
turbed them was an occasional car
passing over their bodies or a dog
turning them over to convince them
selves that life was fully extinct.
There are many attractions in
Garden City that tends to bring
