UNUSUAL sEPTEaTBER STORM

&A&AsS 11DF r - ~ ySAlNA&AOE
Bear Lake county was visited by
a rather severe snow storm and cold
wave the latter part of last week and
Sunday. For more than a day the
ground was covered with a white
blanket, that made things look any
thing but good for a time.
A From outside reports It appears
that the storm was quite general in
southern Idaho and northern Utah.
While some damage was unavoid-
able on account of the duration of
the storm and the fact that much
grain is unharvested, 1t appears that
the damage will be very light in this
county. Good weather set in again
early in the week, and there is every
indication that the farmers will have
ample time in which to complete
their harvest and fall work.

ALL MINNESOTA CHECKS
WILL GO ON PAR LIST

Minneapolis, March 17.-Within a
month, the Minneapolis Federal Re-
|serve bank will be able to announce
that it will collect checks drawn on
all Minnesota banks. The significance
of the step will be that merchants
and other in Minneapolis who deposit
Minnesota checks in the Minneapolis
banks for collection will not be re-
quired to pay exchange. There will
be made, however small charge for
the collection of the check to cover
the interest on the amount of the
check while it is in float,
Within few days the Minneapolis
Federal Reserve bank will issue lists
of all the banks in the Wisconsin pOr.
ton Of the Ninth Federal reserve dis
trict from which it will collect checks
at par.
Minnesota is the last state in the
Northern half of the country which
Is not on the Federal Reserve systems
par list. Almost half Of the banks of
Minnesota still insist on making
charge for exchange. In the whole
district they are 40 banks which are
refusing to pay the check without
making charge and the Federal Re-
serve bank is collecting from these
banks through agents who present
the checks for payment at the coun-
ter.

BROOM MAKERS HAVE
THEIR TROUBLES. TOO

Chicago, March 17.-The broom, in
spite of the many modern household
devices, still holds it's own.
Broom manufacturers from all
parts of the country are here today
to make plans for increasing broom
corn production and reducing the
price of the handy cleaner.
"As long as the annual consump-
ton of any commodity exceeds the
production there can be little likeli-
hood of lower prices" H. R. Welso,
Lincoln, Neb., spokesman for the as
ISOLATION said. ''This is the problem
broom manufacturers are face to face
with. Something must be done at this
meeting to alter these conditions.
"This years broom crop was over
estimated and now reports show the
yield barely sufficient to keep the
going"

RURAL SCHOOL TEACHERS
SOLVING PROBLEM
OF MUTUAL INTEREST
Programs by Pupils Are Large
~ Attended by Parents;
Benefit Schools

Several teachers in Beltrami coun-
ty rural schools are solvingthe prob
lem of school entertainments and IN
many cases have been most success
full, such entertainments or social al
fairs having created among the pu-
pills, and the parents as we'll, better
interest in the school work.
At the school in District No. 127,
at Pitt, an interesting program was
given on February p under the d.
rection, Of the pupils entirely. Mrs.
Nellie o. Brevik, teacher at that
school, appointed committee con-
sitting Of three pupils to arrange for
the program and all work was done
by this committee. The program,
which consisted of thirty numbers,
including recitations.-, songs and ex-
ercises, was much erj0y ed ny a large
number of parents, who were pleas
ed with the work being done by the
pupils.
AS a result of a rag-ball social,
which was held at the Shilling hall at
Shilling last month for the benefit OF
the Birch Grove school district, No.
%, the teacher, Mrs. Rosa Marcoe, is
able to send in a report that she has
purchased for the school number
of chairs, a set of library books and
several other articles needed by the
school, all to be paid for from the
proceeds of the social.
Such school affairs tend to>create a
spirit of democracy among the par
|ents, pupils and the teacher and
should be urged in all schools.

London, March 1.-THE German
revolution, headed by DIR. Wolfgang
Won Kapp, was today believed near dts
end. Dispatches said Won Kapp, faced
with growing opposition on all sides
and deserted by many supporters, had
rendered his resignation.

the action of the dictators was barely
in time to avert widespread civil
strife. Scores Of lives have been sac
rificed and hundreds Of persons
wounded.
From 400 to, 500 persons were kill
ed in Kiel when q cruiser bombarded
the city, according to dispatches from
Kiel to the Morning Post. The cruis-
er opened fire when anti-Kapp groups
staged a demonstration, the dispatch

MINNESOTA SWEPT
.: INTO WOOD COLUMN
BY LARGE R ('!''. MAJORITY 4
Incomplete Returns Show HIM
: Far in Lead; johnson
Runs Second

St. Paul, March 17-Minnesota was
swept into the Leonard Wood column
in the presidential preference primary
of the republican primary.
On the basis of incomplete returns,
it was practically certainty early
today that General Wood, will have
Minnesota's twenty-four delegates to
the G. O. P. convention at Chicago
on June 8.
In the country districts and smaller
towns and cities Wood received a
vote larger than the total of his three
or four opponents. In Ramsey county
the result will be close. In Hennepin
county it likely will be still closer.
But victory is determined on the basis
of delegates elected and it is prob
able Wood will have control Of both
the Ramsey and Hennepin county
conventions.
Result Not Unexpected.
The result was not unexpected. It
has been apparent for some weeks
that Wood had the lead in Minnesota.
This was shown by polls conducted
by the Pioneer Press and Dispatch.
The trend of sentiment toward Wood
was unmistakable.
Over the state the result will show
Wood first by a big majority, john
son second, Hoover third and Lowden
fourth. In st. Paul. and Minneapolis,
the same order is maintained, with
the result more close. /
.Apportionment Of delegates: in the
county conventions was fixed by the
republican state central committee
as one delegate for every twenty
votes cast for Governor Burnquist
two years ago. In St. Paul, Wood
carried the Seventh and Eleventh
wards. The Seventh ward has 10
delegates and the Eleventh 81. In
Minneapolis, Wood carried the Eighth
and Thirteenth wards, each of which
has a large number Of delegates.
