BOYS, AND GIRLS CLUBS
ORGANIZED THIS SUMMER
Several Clubs Handicapped
on Account of Lack of
Leadership

Taking advantage Of the presence
of A. J. Kittleson, assistant Boys
and Girls club leader, in the county,
county agent Dvoracek, visited the
consolidated schools at SOlway and
Carr Lake. Due to lack Of local lead
ership and to the fact that the cOun-
ty agent and county superintendent

were unable to supervise the work.
The local clubs organized in various
parts of the county and the individ-
ual clubs were not as great sue
cess as interest taken in the spring
promised.
Bread-making, garment-making
and other domestic science work can
be carried on and finished during the
school year while teachers are pre-
sent to lend encouragement. Most
of the boys work requires local lead
ership during the summer at which
season discOuragements are sure to
come. 1t is intended that local lead
ership will develop in various com
munities to carry on club work, aft
err the school leaders leave at the end
OF the school year. A large number
of those who entered into club work
finished their projects successfully.
Enthusiastic support by the princi-
pals of these two sch ools was indicat-
ed and promises much for club work
| in their schools.
Other consolidated schools in the
county will be visited from time to
time for the same purpose Of encour-
aging club work.

ty whose names appeared on the wool
growers list in the Farm Bureau Of
fee asking for an expression as to
whether the wool should be consign-
ed to Chicago or whether 1t should
be pooled and sold independently here

Up to date only about ten per cent
of the replies have been received.
Growers are urged to reply at once
In order that the directors may know

Income From Roadside Sales
to Tourists Adds Greatly
to Farmers Purse
EGG SHIPMENTS ARE
HEAVIER THIS YEAR
Price Slump Has Proved Big
Disappointment to Many
Potato Growers y

St. Paul, Mimi. Oct. 13.-Indebt-
edness Of Minnesota farmers will be
reduced many thousands of dollars
this fall, as consequence of income
obtained since last spring from sales
to automobile tourists and it seems
extremely probable that this phase
of farm business will be greatly de-
veloped next summer, Judging from
reports received during the past week
from bankers throughout the state
for the weekly review of Minnesota
enterprise. prepared by the Mer-
chants National bank of St. Paul.
Although it wilfbe difficult to esti-
mate the volume Of business in farm
produce which was transacted at the
roadside this summer and fall, bank
ers throughout the state are being
asked to confer with farmers and
give approximate figures. 1t is
known, however, that thousands of
pounds of Minnesota butter and large
quantities of vegetables, fruits, eggs
and poultry, were purchased by tour
lists. Sales on the better known
highways were heavier than on the
state roads.
Business of this kind has become
so heavy that the jefferson highway
especially between Minneapolis,
Osseo and Anoka-has literally been
lined with farmers booths, on Sum
days. A few drivers have complained
to local authorities. It has been Gus
tomary for, the farmers to establish
their booths just off the road and
offer a variety Of products for sale.
A preliminary investigation is said
to have disclosed that the booths are
not dangerous to the great majority
of automobile travellers but that they
may have worried a few reckless
drivers.
The past week brought practically
complete reports on crops. Latest
advices did not alter the essential
announcements, or forecasts, carried
in previous reports issued by the
Merchants National bank. Oats and
corn yield abundantly; clover brought
wealth to many farmers; sugar beets
were very good in spots and fairly
good in some districts; there were a
few satisfactory wheat yields but the
crop as whole was small; fax, bar
ley and other small grains were ir-
regular but many big yields were
reported. Numerous farmers report
ed tremendous potato crops but the
price Improved a disappointment
to growers. Raising of tobacco and
cane was successfully accomplished
in some sections.
Warm October weather has kept
hens on the job and shipments of
eggs have been heavier than a year
ago. 1t is possible that every county
in the state may be included in the
declaration that the pure bred cattle
industry is developing along such
broad lines that Minnesota will rank
as top notch state within year
or two. Scores of farmers from Iowa,
Nebraska, Wisconsin, Illinois, Kan
sas and other states have, urged
Minnesota breeders to exhibit more
freely at shows of national interest.
Every county fair, with less than a
half dozen exceptions, was featured
by record high grade stock exhibits
and numerous farmers shipped their
cattle to the fairs in their own trucks.

session that lasted until dark.
Work With a Vim.
All was not entirely we'll in that
work, the regulars, occasionally, fall

formations as used by the scrubs. But
their failures were offset by the will

the play, and they want it known

Coaches Don Moleskins.
Principal J. w. Smith and DR.. j.
w. Diedrich, coaches donned the
moleskins in yesterdays practice and
the high school gridders showed no
mercy when an opportunity present
ed itself to upset or tackle their tut
ors. The regulars lined up against
the scrubs, who were using Detroit
formations, but for the most part the
regulars carried the ball. They
would execute one formation and
[then the. coaches would recall it and
have the players repeat the play in
order to correct errors.
Passes Stopped.
A feature of Bemidji's defensive
work Yesterday was ability to stop
every effort of the scrubs to complete
attempted forward passes. The scrubs
made repeated efforts to advance the
ball by the air route but the reg
ular backs were always there to
check the play and intercepted the
ball on several passes.
Must Develop New Halfback.
The loss of Riggs for the remand
er Of the season, who has been play

of another man for that position in
less than a weeks time. Yesterday

the position. Both youngsters are
