People Asked to Help by
Purchasing as Many

County Auditor A. D. johnson an
nounced on Wednesday at the regular
meeting Of the Bemidji association
that the county commissioners and
the local bankers have reached an
agreement whereby the banks will
take up the 100000 issue of county
road bonds authorized recently to. be
issued at S per cent, and will also pur-
chase 100000 of the $25O,OOO .au-
thorized at 6 per cent.
This will allow the county to carry
on the road building program until
about the first of next year, building
to be commenced as soon as possible
The Bemidji-Cass Lake road is to be
recommended as the first field for
repair and reconstruction and to this
end, Auditor Johnson proposed that
a committee be named to push the
project before the commissioners.
Speaking for the bankers, W. L.
Brooks, cashier of the Northern Ma:
tional, asked that every person, who
is able to purchase county bond
do so, that the local banks may not
have to stand the burden of the whole
amount. 1t is planned that the bonds
will be issued in denominations as low
as $500 and every savings deposition
in the local banking houses will be
asked to buy if able.

VEIPHAL FARM SOLD
10 NO. DAKOTA FARMER
FOR 500 PER ACRE
New Owner Will Engage in
:, Dairying, Specializing
81, in Potatoes

That he might assume direct oper-
alton of a 200 acre farm at Mahno-
mem and devote his time to extensive
dairying, Fred ,Westphal has sold his
farm east of Lake Bemidji to John
nv. Gsroshong of Grand Forks for 800
per acre.
Mr.. Westphal has farmed in this
vicinity for nearly 20 years and has
lived on the property, which he has
just sold, for IL years, building up
q fine improved farm of 80 acres,
which has at present a set Of modern
buildings including two barns, two
silos, an s-room house with full base
nent and thoroughly modern.
About year ago, Mr.. Westphal
purchased the 200 acre farm at
llahnomen and has been planning for
sometime to move there to enter into
extensive dairying, the present loca-
ton being considered too small for
him and his two grown sons, who
will assist him on the larger farm.
He always has a good word for
land in northern Minnesota and has
done remarkably we'll in the farming
business here, and had it not been
for the fact that he owned larger
farm in Mahnomen county he would
not have left this vicinity.
Mr. Groshong, who is at present
pocated on a farm near Grand Forks
and previously lived west of Bis
marck, is also buying portion OF the
farm machinery. He will engage in
dairying and will probably specialize
in potato growing. He expects to
take possession of his new farm as
SOON as Mr.. Westphal can complete
arrangements to move to the NAH
uosnen farm. The sale was made
through the office of Reynolds &
Winters, land merchants.

RUSSIAN CONTRACTS
PRESENT BIG PROBLEM
Strauss Confers With Harding
Concerning Appointment
of Amb assador
(By United Press)

Marion, Ohio, Dec. 28.-(By Ray.
mond Clapper)-Restriction Of trade
with Russia is being urged on Presi-
dent-elect Harding by many of his in
fluential advisors and is being seri-
ously considered as one of the pro-
posed policies of the incoming ad-
ministration. -.
The reported cancellation by Soviet
Russia of millions Of dollars worth of
contracts with American firms, is the
problem facing Harding.
Nicholas Murray Butler and others
who have been in Marion recently
urge upon Harding the necessity of
opening up the latent wealth of Rus.
STA. Until this is done, it is clear the
economic turmoil of Europe and the
United States will continue, it was
said. Harding, however, has no sym.
pathy with the Soviet government
and is opposed to doing anything that
would extend it's power.
Oscar Strauss Of New York con-
ferred here with Harding about the
aspiration of American Jews for the
appointment Of one of their race to
be ambassador to Germany when
diplomatic relations are resumed.
Strauss is a leading Jewish phil
anthropist, former ambassador to
Turkey and was' u member Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's cabinet.

Hurley, Wis, Dec. 28.--The second
invasion of the bad lands of the
northwoods country by federal auth
critics to create a wholesale respect
for the national prohibition law, is in
progress today.
Seventy-fiveN agents who slipped
out. of Chicago last night are expected
to arrive here during the morning to
serve federal warrants on two score
saloon-keepers and other alleged VIC
lators} Of the prohibition law. War
rants for the'arrest of the men were
issued secretly last week by Judge
Lands at La. Crosse, Wis, at the re-
quest Of District Prohibition officer
Richardson.
Judge Lands went to the district
court at Lacrosse and issued the war
rants personally to be sure that there
would be no tip-otf. Not even the
prohibition enforcement officers of
the LaSrosse territory knew of the
issuance of the warrants.
Hurley has been a thorn in the
side of the prohibition enforcement
officers of the Great Lakes district
for some time.
