SALVATION ARMY DRIVE
-: OPENED BY ELK LODGE

TODAY: WELL RECEIVED
Committees Comb Blocks of
City; Everybody Helps
With Contribution.

W. L. Brooks, head of the Saliva
ton Army home service campaign,
which started this morning, backed
by the Bemidji lodge Of Elks, mar
tailed his associate Elks hosts this
morning in Elk quarters and assign
ments were made for members to
canvass each block in the city, with
the1 expectation that the city may
be covered by this evening.
The drive is nationwide and Min
nes0ta is already hard at work to
raise it's quota for improved facilities
for the army to carry on Its work.
1t performed heroic work in the bat
le lines of France and in the. battle
zone, and the Ralph Oracle post Of
the American Legion of Bemidji is
vitality interested in the success of
the campaign.
Its success in Bemidji means that
headquarters will be established here
and be haven for all unfortunates
and those who are in need of help.
The soliciting committees met
hearty recognition in their drive and
met few rebuffs, those from misguid-
ed individuals whose calibre in such
affairs is we'll known.
1t looks as if the drive would be
great sud dcess, and every "bit" is
heartily welcome.

WHEAT REPEAL UNLIKELY.

Washington, Aug. II. - Although
farmers throughout the country are
insisting that congress repeal the
wheat guaranty law 30 they can have
advantage of the higher world price
to help compensate them for their
losses due to an abnormally poor
crop, Senator Asle J. Gronna OF
North Dakota, chairman of the SEN
ate committee on agriculture. has
stated that his commttteea will not
recommend such action
- President Wilson announced in his
cost of living message that the rprtcs
of wheat is lower in America than
in Europe and that 1t is the tnten-
ton OF the government to prevent
any increase here. Senator Gronna
says that the president has ample
power to keep the price down to
the present level and that passage
of the repeal bill by congress would
merely encourage the farmer to
think he is going to get something
that he really hasn't chance Of
getting.
And from what the president said,
Senator Gronna thinks he would veto
a repeal bill II, 1t were passed.

ST. NlCK'S PARTNERS

CHRISTMAS BUSINESS
Toy Factories Humming With
Industry; Japan Also

So the toy makers, the candy man
ufacturers, the fiction writer's and
illustrators, and all others in part
nership with Santa Claus, are work
ing at top speed to get their wares
ready for the holiday season.
The toy factories, humming with
industry, are turning out the most
varied assortment of amusement de-
vices in their history-but anything
of a martial nature is banned. The
manufacturers are proceeding on the
theory that youngsters, as we'll as
their elders, are tired of war.
Santa Claus newest partner ap-
pears to be Japan. Dealers said to-
day that country will run close sec
ond to the United States in turning
out toys The question Of whether
Germany and the saint will resume
diplomatic relations appears to be
an open one. Most dealers, however,,
declare their opposition to admitting
German toys at this time.
In common with everything. else,
toys will cost considerably more than
last year-about twice as much as
before the war.
With the ban off sugar, candy
makers are confident there will be
a record demand for their products
this Christmas, and are making prep
arations accordingly.
Magazine editors are accepting and
ejecting-mostly rejecting-Christ-
mas stories and pictures. Printers
are increasing their stocks Of Christ
mas cards.
Poultry dealers refused to commit
as to how much: the
Christmas turkey will cost, but
frankly admitted they can see no
chance of a decrease from last years
record price.

green's are utilizing these hot days

MEXICAN BORDER IS
STILL VERY WET Line
(By United Press.

Laredo, Tex, Aug. ll.-Enforce-
ment of nation wide prohibition may
offer a hard problem to peace OFF,
GERS in the inland states but their
job is a sinecure to that of federal
officials trying to keep the Amerl-
can side of the Mexican border dry.
Prohibition in the United States
has offered a means Of wealth to num-
dreds of adventuresome spirits along
the Rio Grandc and booze smuggling
is being made fine art.
All the fiery Mexican drinks
mescal, aguardiente and tequila-
sell readily in the states and snug
Cling is comparatively easy since the
twelve hundred odd miles Of border
generally is sparsely settled and
patrolled only by small military
units.
The willy Mexican, trailing his
mescal in bladders, hog skins and
goat skins, wades the Rio Grande at
night, disposes of his wares and is
back in Mexico again long before the
dawn. When the mescal lacks punch,
he spikes it with red pepper, onions
or drugs and the result is knock
out which books Jack Dempsey's up
percuts in the shade.
Spiked soda water is another
means of avoiding detection. Recent
ly a Mexican with a cargo of appar-
emily harmless, pink, soda water,
was stopped by customs agents, who
sampled his wares. The soda water
was pink in appearance only. It's
kick beat any American '"Red-Eye'
known.
In one week recently, in the town
of Alice, Jim Wells county, customs
agents found more than 800 quarts
of mescal.

DEMANDS HEARING ON
DELINQUENT CITY TAXES

delinquent tax sale of property was

made. sr- :.
The BemIdji Townsite and I'm

linquent ON payment of taxes since
1912 on $50 lots, got out restrain
ing order for the city to show cause
before Judge Stanton Thursday why
it's property should he sold for de-
linquent taxes after being illegally
assessed, as the company claimed, in
1912, by the board of equalization
which raised the assessment 10 per
cent, which affected the holdings OF
the townsite company.
The sale is being conducted by the

ELECTRIC COMPANY TO
RER0UTE ITS SYSTEM
WILL Be IMPROVEMENT
Poles and Wires OFF Business
District Streets; New
Lights Going UP.

The city council, having ordered
the poles and wires of the Minnesota
Electric Light and Power company to
be taken from the business streets
and avenues of the city, means that
the company will soon inaugurate a
wholesale rerouting of its lines, and
marked improvements in street
lighting, house lighting and in vari-
Gus other ways, all for the better
ment of the general public.
This is according to Manager Nay
lor of the local branch of the COM
pany, and he says plans are all CON-
pleted for the innovation.
The start will be on the south
side of the railroad tracks, where
they center in the city, and the loop
system will be installed 1t means
that the first unit will be loop of
power wire, and the seconu loop will
be laid south of Third street. This
work will; in all probability, be COM
pleted this fall, and when spring
comes the rest of the city will go
on the loop. current being furnished
for street lighting and supplying of
homes.
The plan means that electric light
poles will come down from the busi-
ness district streets and be replaced
in the alleys, also upon avenues and
where ever possible. Street lighting
is to be greatly improved and it is
stated the loop system will do away
with the practice Of lamps becoming
extinguished, as new and late type
is to replace those now i1T service.
Mr. Naylor also broadly limited at
proposed plan for a White Way
business district, coming next year.
