GOVERNMENT RAILROAD CONTROL DURING WAR
COST ENGLAND NEARLY A BILLION DOLLARS
of Gigantic Properties From Government to Private
Control Was Accomplished Without Any Special Dis
cussion Wages . ,4i.a L.. sna. ia

Very little real friction keep the rate
of pay at definite figure, as cons
pared with the cost Of living.
Wherefore, the transfer OF these
gigantic properties from government
al to private control was accomplished
without any special discussion ragard-
ing wages, since this problem had
been adjusted many months previ-
ously.
Also, the whole question of govern
mental remuneration to the compan-
les had been taken care of by means
of an arrangement whereby the gov
eminent guaranteed the railroad
arrangements to keep the net re-
ccipts, while under state control,
equal to the 1913 earnings.
Regular payments we're made from
the state, subject to later refunds
from the companies should super
audited statistics show any over
payment.
Here it was. that the state treas

arrived. August IS, 1921, the state
had paid out 21,9S1,149 pounds,
while an additional figure of approx

TEACHERS INSTITUTE
TO OPEN OCTOBER II
Institute Has Been Called at
That Time on Account of
Division Meeting

County Superintendent j. c. Nc
Ghee has called Teachers Institute
to be held in Bemidji during the week
beginning October II. The first
three days will be under his super
vision with George F. Howard, one
of the leading educators of the state
as conductor, assisted by Miss Jessie
Wedin, another able instructor.
This institute will then join the
northern division of the Minnesota
Education association for the next
three days. The teachers were called
together at this time instead of ear
lier so that they might have the ad-
vantage not only of the institute, but
of the prominent educators who will
be brought to Bemidji for the educa-
ton association.
About $50 teachers will be in at
tendance the whole week and the
people of Bemidji are asked to offer
rooms and board that they may be
accommodated. The law provides
that all teachers who are perfect in
attendance, shall be paid by their
districts the same as if the week wars
taught.
Some school patrons are of the
opinion that more is accomplished by
following the regular routine than
enough inspiration and instruction
will be given to enable the teachers
to accomplish more during the term
than if the week is spent in the
school room. Friends of education
are invited to attend any Of these
meetings. .
County Superintendent j. c. Nc
Ghee reports that all teachers have
been secured for the schools of Bel
trami county. Fewer permits have
been granted this year and all teach,
ers secured earlier than for several
years.

RETURNS OF SUNDAYS
GAME WILL BE POSTED

Present indications are that
the Yanks and Giants will play
their fourth game of the series
tomorrow, if the weather per-
mits. In case the game is played
the returns will be posted on the
special bulletin board at The
Pioneer office as soon as re-
ceived. To date some difficulty
has been experienced in getting
the brief account of each inning
from the St. Paul office of the
United Press, undoubtedly due
to the fact that the telegraph
wires are flooded with smaller
reports, although the messages
have been filed promptly at st.

RECORD CARD OF
SPORTS TOMORROW
Navy Athletes To Engage IN
Series OF Seven Contests
In Six Lines

The Naval Academy will. tomorrow
afternoon, be the scene Of Il greater
variety of intercollegiate athletic
events than any city in the country
The calendar for the day calls for
eight contests. in six different
branches Of sport Basketball, wrest-
ling, fencing. swimming. water polo.
and hoxing. will furnish the array of
diversified events for the lovers Of
sports to make their choice The
program for the afternoon viii be
carried out in the following order:
Basketball Navy Varsity,
against Collegians All-Stars of
Baltimore. al 2:s0: Navy Plehes.
a~einst Central High school. Of
Washington, $3.50.
Fencing Navy. against French
Y. A. G. A.. of Washington. at 3.
Wrestling Navy. against Uni
versity Of Pennsylvania. at s45.
Boxing Navy. against Carnegie
Technical Institute. al S:45.
Water Polo Navy against Coz
lumhia University. at
Swimming Navy against Co
lumhia at 4:45.
The boxing match will mark the
opening Of fhe season for the Middies,
and that with the bouts in wrestling
will undoubtedly draw the biggest gal
lery of spectators. The fact that the
Pennsylvania grapplers defeated Jni-
versity OF West Virginia a week ago
would indicate that the Red and Blue
has a strong team this season. The
Navy mitmen probably will not expert
ence much difficulty in disposing OF
the Carnegie boxers. as the latter in

week. lost every bout.
