Propose to Issue Certificates
Of indebtedness to Cover 1
Debt on Buildings
PLAN TO MARKET THESE
CERTIFICATES LOCALLY
Believed That Every Purchaser
Will Be Active Booster
for Better Fair

Plans to finance the Beltrami coun-
ty Fair association, which now has
deficit of $4,000 on its buildings
which were erected this year, were
discussed at a meeting of the fair
association officials yesterday after
noon at the rooms of the Civic and
Commerce association, following the
MONDAY meeting of that organiza-
tho. .-.:..
1t is planned to issue certificates
of Indebtedness to cover this amount,
the certificates possibly to draw in
terest at the rate of per cent over
a period of five years. According to
the plan, these certificates would be
issued in denominations Of $40, $25
$50 and 500, giving every one an
opportunity to carry whatever amount
they feel able. The interest rate of 8
per cent promises to appeal to a
large number of small investors and
will eventually pay larger returns.
The plan is to market these certi-
fcates through the Civic and Com
merce association and the Beltrami
County Farm Bureau. The fair as
ISOLATION wants it understood that
this fair is farmers fair and they
will be expected to show an active
interest in it by purchasing certifi-
Gates at this time.
j. L. Elwell, chairman of the
finance committee, is making a full
and complete statement of the fnanc-
es of the fair association at the pres
emit time, and this statement will be
published within very few days.
1t is the plan Of the fair associa-
ton that by issuing the certificates
in small denominations every buyer
will become more active booster
for the Northern Minnesota Fair
which is held here annually and until
this last year has not been much of a
success. 1t is also planned to have
these certificates scattered as widely
as possible through the neighboring
communities.

DEF IIEES LABOR BOARD

j Washington, Oct. 20.--The Penn
sylvania railroad again defies the
power of the United States Rail
road Labor Board. The board to-
day was preparing to enterinto me-
gotiations. with union heads in an
attempt to avert a strike October 80.
= Representatives Of the Pennsyl-
vania summoned to show why the
road should not be declared in viola
ton Of the, boards order declared
the action of the labor board in or
dering selection of representatives to
negotiate with officers on working
rules was unlawful and illegal.
Judge Heiserman, attorney for the
Pennsylvania road, presented the
roads case. The road had not follow
ed out orders Of the board to ar
range for the election and would not
permit the heads Of labor organiza-
tions to represent the men in the ne
gotiations. The attorney spent less
than ten minutes in presenting the
railroads case. ..e.
