civic pride in the improvement Of tho
city.

president of the council, speaking in
behalf OF the city dads assured the

ing that his plan calls for similar
program.
C. w. Vandersluis, retiring alder
man-at-large, spoke briefly before
turning over his duties to Mr.. Lair,
and extended his thanks to the coun-
Gil for the cooperation shown him
during the past two years which he
has served in that capacity.
! Ex-Mayor johnson made a short
talk concerning his administration
during the past two years, and also
concerning the early days in this Sec
ton of the state before Bemidji was
founded. The office was then turn
ed over to the new mayor, and the
new council Immediately went into
session with all members present.

BUSINESS STUDENTS ARE
ADDRESSED BY DR.. ZENTZ
Students at Bemidji Business
College Given Sound Advice
and Entertainment

Dr.. e. II. Zentz, pastor of the
Methodist Episcopal church, lectured
to the students Of the Bemidji BUSH
ness college Monday morning at II
O'Clock. He was accompanied by
Rev. +. E. Rueckert OF Osman, Ill.
Rev Rueckert Is in charge of the mu-
suical part of the evangelical Services
now being held in the M. E. church.
Before DR.. Zentz' address Rev. Rueck-
ert sang, when Old Aunt Lynde
Sings" and my First Love-" and at
the close, THE Little Brown Owl"
Rev. kueckert has strong, rich
voice Of well-controlled power and
OF exceeding clearness.
Tho subject chosen by DR.. Zentz
was How to attain the best results
in life, or how to make success"
Every normal person." said Dr..
ZentZ, wants to make success in
life. ! have known a large number
OF individuals who have made a sue
cess in life, and l have also known
larger number who have not. The
man who makes a success. by many,
Is called a genius. A genius is a
man who has outstanding ability in
his work. The ancient Celts said that
genius had three elements; first, the
gift Of the gods, second, the times
and conditions to suit, third, mans
exertiOns. The first is the natural
ability and power with which men
are gifted; the second takes the times
to bring out the real worth; the
third, the one most likely to be
wanting. is mans eXertions. BY
mans exertions I mean a disposition
to work hard. Most of US are lazy
and do not want to work unless We
have to. When Thomas Carlyle was
asked the secret of genius he answer
ed, The power Of taking infinite
pains with anything Of worth"
He cited as illustrations the sue
cesses of Sir William Van Horn and
OF Presidents Garfield and Lincoln,
also Jesus story of the parable Of the
talents. He told how Warren G..
Harding worked his way up from a
printing office to the highest office
in the United States, to which he
was inaugurated president March 4.
In closing, DIR. Zcntz said, "To you
who are anxious to excel there is
only one way and that is by hard
work. Be careful and exact. The
sloth full servant in the parable of the
talents was condemned, not because
he failed, but because he did not try.
Taithfulness will always BIO reward
ed"

Occupation Of Shipping Cities
Is Accomplished Without
Incident Today
Won SlMONS BITTER
OVER ALLIED ACTION
Economic Pressure To Begin
Thursday When Customs
Line Is Drawn
(BN Limited PreSSl

London, March 8. - by Ed. L.
Keen)-Allied armies today invaded
Germany to compel obedience to their
reparation demands. The rich levy
ing and shipping cities of Dusseldorf,
Duisberg and Ruhrort submitted to
allied control at a. m. when British,
French and Belgian troops marched
across the Rhine to assume possess
sion. The occupation was accoDl-
plished without incident, German
burgomasters having been instructed
by Berlin to interfere in no way.
The German PREPARATION commits
sion sternly rejected it's proposals
without debate when it failed to ap-
prove the demands of the allies and
left London at 2 p. m. today. For
eign Minister Won Simons showed
some bitterness declaring that inf1ic-
ton Of penalties now would hamper
future attempts. He had previously
announced he would appeal to the
league of nations.
So far as official statements were
concerned, military action is confined
to establishment of new BRIDGE
head at Dusseldorf, no German ports
having been seized as was threaten
ed. 1t is believed that economic
pressure will begin Thursday when
customs line is established parallel to
the Rhine to the depths of thirty
kilometers or about nineteen miles.
German customs houses will be seized
and a tax of 30 per cent levied on all
German goods. The presence of
American troops at the Colbenz
bridge-head complicated the situation
somewhat. II the Americans are per-
nnitted to cooperate with the allies,
the customs line will include their
territory. However, should the Unit
ed States order the Americans not to
participate, the customs line will be
drawn west Of the .bridge-head.
In exacting the penalties, the allies
feared there might be protests from
the German radicals. They were en-
couraged in this belief by the Ger
man delegation which elaborated in
structions to Berlin to sec that any
such outbursts be repressed.
The fact that the Germans in the
occupied territory received the in
vaders quietly tended to calm any
such interference, however.
