 augmented commission is now hunting
 for a successor
 Jackson is still very much dissatisfied with the number of nhabtanR with which the census enumerators credited her-ahout 2z,6O0. Jackson was confi- dently expecting 80,O00, and is not going to be satisfied with anyrhing under that figure. The Mississippi representatives on Washington have interested themselves in the matter and the director of the cen sus has promised to do what he can The Board of Trade is busy at this end of the line and a special agent cI the census bureau has been here looking over the situation He is satisfied thar Jack son has the number of inftIbitants claimed and has told the city auGnori- ties how to proceed to get a new count. Tn the event nothing better can be done the business men of the city will pull off their coats, roll up their sleeves and take the census themselves in a single day, just as they did two years ago of the un- employed men and women in the town, with a view to putting everybody to W ork, and serving notice that they must

 MUST SELL LIVE STOCK For great many years the manage ment of the Mississippi penitentiary has been trN10g to pred ana raise the Dluieo with which the convict farms are culti- vated, but they have failed. With 75 to 100 brood mares the farms have turned out an average of about dozen mule colts per year, due, of course, to the TsHs- management of the mares Instead of procuring the services of an experienced
 stockman and mule raiser, the handling Of the mares has been left to the con victs-men who were bred and born on cotton plantations and knew nothing ex- cept cotton raising. Appreciating the fact that the state had sunk large sums of money on this mule raising industry. the late legislature ordered the trustees of the penitentiary to sell all their breed- ing stock, cattle as well as mares, and tc confine themselves hereafter to hogs.
 The trustees will make the sales as soon
 as the stock gets filled up with grass, fat and sleek, and the farmers of the state who want good blooded breeding an- imals, Hereford and Shorthorn bulls, fine jacks and western mares, will get bar gains if they want them. The convsct farms have always made a success st l hog raising, and during the winter tII3u- sands of pounds of pork are fed to the convict. A cold storage plant is now be- ing installed on the big Parchman farm and it is hoped that hereafter sufficient meat will be cured to run all the farms a year.

SCHEDULE FOR 'BEMlDu
HIGH Is DIFFICULT JOB
Material Which Promises to
Make Better Team Than
Last Strive for Positions

Prof. J. w. Smith has experienced
trying to arrange a schedule of foot
ball games for the local high school
eleven. Bemidii's aggregation will
be of the usual high standard this
year and it is the object of the coach
to schedule only such teams as will
promise a good battle for the aggre-
cation.
Letters, kilograms and telephone
calls to at least twenty high school
elevens have as yet brought very IN
favorable returns. A few games have
been scheduled and others are being
carried tentatively with the hope that
they may soon be added to the pro.
posed schedule.
Between twenty and twenty-five
stalwart lads are appearing each aft
ernoon after school for regular prac-
tice. at the ball, park and all are
showing keen interest in developing
one of the best teams ever to repre-
sent the Bemidjt High. DR.. J. w.

gridiron star, who has always help
ed Bemidji's team toward victory, is
coming out regularly to assist in
putting over a strong eleven this
year. ~.@'' -

the probable material which will
compose. this years team is as fol-
lows: Russell Brooks, captain, full
back; Art Olson, left half; Walter

terback; Roy Stapleton, Albert Pow

BAPTIST BIBLE CONFERENCE
HOLDS INSTRUCTIVE SESSION

The Bible conference held in
the Baptist church had very inter
esting session yesterday. <Last< night
Rev. Meyer preached on the "Paral-
lei Between the Living Word and the
Written Word" In the afternoon Il
Bible. study was held on the "Work
of the Holy Spirit in the World', 1t
was explained that this Is the WORK
of conviction. He is in the world to
convict the world of the sin Of I'M
belief: "Of sin, because they believe
not on Me-" Preach against drunk
enness and theft and excess and it
rolls off most people like water off
a. duck, for they are not guilty OF
these things, but present the claims
Of Christ, and these differences are
wiped away. Unbelief makes com
mon company of all men, AMI is
bond that Lnites them together--a
bond THAT would be recognized IL nc
other way. Then He convicts 81
Righteousness. not in the sense that
the world has any Righteousness, but
because of where Righteousness is:
"Of Righteousness, because go unto
NV Father" The world cast out the
only righteous man who ever lived
the Lord Jesus, and God raised Hin
from the place of shame and set Hin
on His own right hand in Heaven
Con INDICATED His son, and cor
demned the world. The Holy Spirit
covicts of judgment. Since man 1;
an unbeliever, and has no rignteaus
ness, there remains but condemna'
ton. or judgment, and such convic'
ton comes. because the prince of this
world. Satan himself, has been al
ready Judged The conviction Of sin
speaks of Christ crucified: the con
viction of Righteousness speaks OF
Christ glorified; the conviction Of
Judgment speaks of Christ coming
again.

NEW ORDINANCE
 ON BUS ROUTES

The Ordinance committee submit ted an ordinance to the Board Of Aldermen last night after they had discovered that a majority of the Board were in favor of changing the North and South Main street routes so that they would be more convenient to the travelling public who patronize that route.
 The ordinance was passed ana takes effect immediately.
 The new route is as follows Ter m1nal, Broad street and Park place, Broad street from Park place to John street, John street fros Broad to Middle street, Middle street from John to Congress street. crossing Congress street to Housa- tonic avenue, Housatonic avenue. from Congress to East Washing gton avenue, East Washington avenue from Housatonic avenue to Madison. Madison from Main street to Wayne. Wayne street from Madison to Savoy, Savoy street from Wayne to North Main, North Main from Savoy to Bethany Chapel and re- verse.
 This route is much more satisfac- tory to the jttney men than the old route as 1t will allow buses of this route to take on passengers at John and Main or Middle street and will do away with the necessity of com- polling passengers to go all the way 10 Water street to get a bus on this route

COX SAYS LEAGUE
 TREVOR IS NOW
 SWEEPING NATION

Kenova, W. Va, Oct. Ex-Governor Cox closed his West Virginia cam paign here today with another appeal for the League of Nations and a statement that the churches, labor and women were together in the movement which, he said, was
 sweeping the country
 A year ago former President Taft the Governor said. prophesied his present view of the situation.
 T desire to pay Judge Taft tri- bute,' he said. He has the gift of prophecy. Speaking just about year ago in West Virginia, he said that labor would endorse the League of Nations because of it's labor provis- ions; that the churches would en- dorse it because it is right; and then if the women were given the vote they would all be for 1t because of their abhorrence for war; and in the last week it is perfectly apparent that Judge Taft correctly visualized the future.
 From pulpit and congregation comes the same story of religious fervor. No class has been reading the league more industriously than labor. I found miners in the noun- tains of this state thoroughly familiar with it; and the Republicans are having trouble with their wonens yOte.''
