tion in it's entirety since it's drafting
in 1873 is now underway A body

Constitutional Amendment and Re-
vision, was appointed by Gov. Will
liam C. Sproul under an act of the
last state legislature.
Many attempts have been made
before the legislative bodies to OBJ
tain amendments but this is the first
time a body of men has sat to go
over the organic laws of the state in
their entirety, to study them and
make such revisions and amend
ments as they see fit, to be recon-
mended to the legislature of 1921.
Should such amendments and revi-
sions be accepted by the legislature,
the question of a constitutional con-
vention will be put to the people at
the 1921 elections and If accepted.

ize the convention,

CASS LAKE BASKET
GAMES ARE CANCELLED:
LOCALS ALL EMPLOYED
impossible to Leave Their Posi-.
tions; Park Rapids Comes
January 22

At a late hour last night it was
decided by the manager Of the bas-
ketball quintette of the Ralph Oracle
post of the American Legion that
the two games with Cass Lake,
scheduled for tonight at Cass Lake
and tomorrow night at Bemidji,
would have to be cancelled, since 1T
was found that it would be impos-
sible for the players to leave their
employment to go to Cass Lake this
noon, in time for tonight's game.
Consequently the return game to be
played here tomorrow night was
also cancelled.
The Park Rapids aggregation will
be here for a game on Thursday,
January %. Excelsior will play a
series with the local legion team on
January %, 29 and 80, all three
games to be played in this city. The
championship Of the northwest was
won by the Excelsior quint in the
1918-1919 playing season, so this
series promises to be exceptionally
interesting. On February 7, the
Grand Rapids Y. NJ. C. A. team will
be here and for February IL, the
Thief River Falls quint has been
slated for contest in Bemidji.
These games have all been decided
upon, so the local fans are certain to
be given many exceptional OppOr-
tunities to witness real basketball
palying this winter, since there are
also many other stiff games being
scheduled for the near future.

IN STATE: ALI POSTS
State Headquarters Is Reach.
ing for 100 Per Cent of
Service Men

ST Paul, Jan. 7.-With the re-
ceipt of an application for a charter
from a post at Little Sank, the num-
ber Of posts in the American Legion
in Minnesota reached a total Of AT,
representing membership of ap-
proximately $4,000.
Sounding a call for 100 per cent
organization, bulletin sent out by
state headquarters Of the Legion to-
day says:
"A year after the end of the Civil
war there wasn't a single G. A. r.
post in the United States, but one
year after the signing Of the Armis-
tice there were thousands of Ameri-
can Legion posts in the United States
and $50 in the Department of Min
nesota. Now, at the beginning Of
1920, there are 6,666 organized posts
in the United tSates, with more than
a million members, and AT posts in
Minnesota. Let's see Minnesota
blaze the trail toward 100 per cent
organization"
Minnesota had $4,000 men in
service, eligible for mem bership in
the American Legion. Before the
next national convention it is ex-
pected that majority Of these men
will have been enrolled.

cratic from start to finish, including
officers and enlisted men, without
favor or Discrimination; soldiers,
sailors and marines, "overseas men,
and those who failed to cross the
ocean. 1t seeks to enable all to be
of mutual aid to each other and of
continued service to the country for

LACK OF COMFORTABLE
ROOMS REASON FOR
TEACHERS RESlCNINC
Health Impairment Compels
Others to Leave Their
City Positions

Since the Christmas recess in the
public schools in Bemidji, there have
been several changes In the teaching
force, part of which are due to the
lack of pleasant and comfortable
rooms in which the teachers may
stay while not engaged in their
school work.
Miss Ielah Aiken, who taught in
the North building, has left on &C
count of poor health. Her place is
being filled by Miss Beatrice Scott
of Winona.
Miss Mary Scary and Miss Ella NJ.
Nelson, both Of the Junior depart
ment, are leaving soon. The vacan-
cies have not been filled as yet. Miss
Valdina Skjevelund, who was princi-
pal Of the Lincoln school, found it
necessary to resign on account of her
health and Miss Boulger of North
field is taking her place at present.
Mrs. Letford, also of the Lincoln
building, gave up her work before
Christmas and her position is being
filled by Miss Mathilda Hokanson of
St. CLOUD.
G. P. Springer, who was the teach
er of mathematics in the high school
has left for Michigan to become
principal of high school there Rev
L. P. Warford of the Presbyterian
church is taking his position for the
present.
All OF these teachers, except Miss
Aiken and Mrs. Letford, were ex-
pected to return after the holidays
and the fact that they did not return
has caused the board of education
considerable work in replacing them
A driver for the new auto-bus will
be decided upon soon. Changes have
been made in janitors in both the
Central school and the Lincoln
school.

Potatoes and Corn Grown in

farmer near Brainerd, had one Of the
finestevxAibits of potatoes and corn
at the International Livestock show
in Chicago, according to letter
received by him from Fred D. Sher-
man, commissioner of immi grafton.
Sherman regarded reterson's prod
ucts as some of the finest examples of
potatoes and corn that he had the
privilege Of displaying, he declared
in the letter. The potatoes attracted
man said, and people could hardly
believe that they were grown in cut
over lands of northern Minnesota,
which in their virgin state sold at
$40 to S25 an acre.
Sherman wrote: "The favorable
impression created by the white and
yellow dent corn that you sent us
was also remarkable. We used the
white and yellow corn with the husks
on largely for decorative purposes,
hanging it in punches of five at var
ious spaces on the booth wall, and
when I explained to visitors that this
corn was grown in the Growing
county. which is geographically in
the center Of Minnesota, they were
much surprised as it is the prevail
ing opinion among Illir ois people
ties can grow corn successfully"
