advanced to such a prominent
position in tbs wardrobe that II is one
OF the most conspicuous features of

OF unitarian character. Far better
carry no handbag at all. and stow your
belongings away in pockets, than to
carry bag that will Jar upon the
complete harmony of your costume, or
strike a ciashing note with any part

This exceeding Importance Of the
handbag means, of course. many
handbags for many costumes. No

one or two---say a useful leather bag

BEMIDU AUTO CLUB
PERFECTED TOMORROW
DURING LUNCH HOUR
Fully Expected That $50 Will
Join; Much Interest
Is Shown

Organization of the Bemidji asso-
citation Automobile club will be per-
fected following the regular weekly
luncheon of the civic body tomorrow.
Decision to provide such club was
made at meeting of Bemidji autoists
held Friday night, at which Roy Hill
and Gus A. Will, both Of Minneapolis
and who are prominent in the activi-
ties Of the state automobile associa-
tion, spoke.
The advantages of such a club are
numerous and It is expected that at
least $50 members of the association
will enroll, thereby being granted the
privileges of the state and national
automobile associations.
Bemidji good roads enthusiasts are
taking much interest in the state
convention of the Jefferson Highway
which is to be held at Little Falls
Thursday, and this city is to be rep
resented.
Northern counties are to send dele
gates by auto, the good-roads boosters
travelling through Bemidji tomorrow
noon. They will be guests at the as
sociation luncheon.

CAMPAIGN is ON IN FULL SWING
Supreme Court Will Take Up Important Cases Affecting
Industrial Life of the Nation

ct is the United States vs.. the Lehigh
Valley Railroad, while No. Is the
government against the Reading
Railroad. These are the celebrated
anthracite coal cases, the railroad
lines being charged with having a
monopoly of the anthracite coal pro-
duction and shipments. The govern
ment lost both Of these cases in lower
courts.
The noted struggle Of the govern
ment against the United States Steel
corporation, known as the "Steel
Trust" is No. 6 on the docket. Here
again the government is on the de-
fense, having lost in the lower courts.
Cases against the Eastman Kodak
company and the Associated Bill
Posters follow closely, both OF these
being victories for the government so
far. Numbers IL and IA are the suits
against the American Can Co., and
the Quaker Oats company, both VIC
tories for the corporations so far. The
case against the Keystone Watch
company is also near the head OF the
docket.
The session Of the court opening
is expected to be one Of the most I'M
portant in history. Many puzzl1ng
war questions will be up for settle
ment besides the trust cases. 1t is
certain that the court will be asked
to rule on questions arising from the
present industrial strife and clearly
define the legal rights Of capital and
abor.

Indebtedness, would, 1t is believed by
state officials, delay payments of the

Washington, October with the
reconvening Of the Supreme Court the
government big trust-busting cam
paign postponed on account of the
war was Oh in full swing in its final
stages.
Seven cases of antitrust prosecu-
tion are before the court for final de-
cision, and the result Of the suits un-
doubtedly will have a far reaching
effect on American business. Much
depends on the construction the Su-
preme Court puts on the Sherman and
Clayton Antitrust laws, under which
the suits were brought.
All of the cases are near the top Of
the docket and will be argued as soon
as few special cases are disposed OF.
Decisions are expected early In 1920,
If the court does not take longer than
the usual time allotted for delibera-
tion after the verbal battle Of the
government and big business attor-

felt it could not interfere in any way
with production Of materials that
might be necessary for the war.
Attorney General Palmer, however,

BENZ AGAIN COMES
AFTER RUSSET POTATOES

So satisfactory were the Russet po-

secured by F. Benz, representative OF
the Yakamia Valley Potato Growers
association, Washington, that he is
again in Bemidji on buying expedi-
tion for shipment to growers in the
state of Washington. His home is in
Toppenish, Wash.
Last spring, Mr.. Benz was in Be-
midji and while here purchased six
carloads of Russet potatoes which
were shipped to Washington. They
were sold and made an exceptional
showing in production and that is
the reason he had returned.
If any Beltrami growers have a
supply of Russets for sale they should
list their names with County Agricul
tural Agent A. w: Aamodt at the
court house.
