the Bemidji Civic and Commerce as
sociation met last evening in the AS
sociation rooms to formulate plans
for the protection of game and fish
in this vicinity.
The meeting was called to order
by H. J. Loud, chairman of the COM

Protective league be formed in Be-
midi. This league will work in CO.

state organization efforts will be
made to replenish the bird and fish
in this section.
Came and fish, together with the
wonderful climate and health condi-
tions offered by northern Minnesota
to tourists from all parts of the coun-
try, are the best inducements that
can be offered and if the game and
fish are constantly replenished from
time to time, tourists will come to
this section in even greater numbers
than ever before.
1t is the aim Of the Bemidji asso-
citation to induce the tourists to come
here for the tourists bring settlers
and investments eventually.

RETAIN ITS LOCATION

The transaction by which C. w.
Warfield sold his double front build

Washington, Jan. 20.-Validity of
the Federal prohibition constitutional
amendment is to be determined by
the supreme court, which granted the
state Of Rhode Island permission to
institute original proceedings to test
it and enjoin it's enforcement in that
state.
The permission was granted by
Chief Justice White without COM
ment or without fixing any time for
hearing arguments in the case.
Motions to bring the suit were filed
by Attorney General Rice Of Rhode
Island, in response to resolution
adopted by the state legislature au-
thorizing him to take steps to test
the validity Of not only the amend
ment but also of the enforcement
act. Rhode Island was one of the

EFFORTS BEING. MADE
TO RECRUIT COMPANY
PT0 REQUIRED QUOTA
Action Necessary or Else Unit
Will Go Elsewhere, Says
Lieut.. Col. Stutz

The committee, in charge of the
recruiting for Bemidji's national
guard unit, met yesterday afternoon
in the Bemidji association rooms to
formulate plans for thorough can
vas Of Bemidji to obtain the number
of enlistments necessary to establish
the unit here.
Action must be taken at once if
Bemidji is to be included in the Sixth
/ regiment, as Long Prairie is recruit
ed to it's full complement and is
anxiously waiting to be mustered in.
Bemidji is to be given first chance
but will be allowed only few more
days in which to secure it's quota.
In case Of failure to secure the neces-
sary number of enlistments on time,
Bemidj will have to wait for an op-
portunity to Join some other regi-
ment.
kilograms have been sent to the
chairman of the recruiting committee
as we'll as to Captain Moore and in
these messages Colonel Stutz of the
Sixth regiment states the case clearly
that Bemidji must act at once.
A drive is now on by the COM
mittee and if it is found necessary,
endeavors will be made to secure en-
listments from Cass Lake, but it is
desired that the company be made
up locally, and of as many former
service men as possible.
A $4,000 armory should mean
something to Bemidji and it is urged
that everyone turn to" to aid in this
project.

Washington, Jan. 20. = Although
bituminous coal is being mined at
greater rate than at any time in the
last four years, American industry is
having a hard time recovering from
the crippling effects of the recent
strike, according to government re-

In some parts of the country steel
mills have been forced to close for
lack of fuel. Geological survey Off

tinue until the manufacturers are
able to build up a reserve supply,
