DeValera to Resume His Talk
With Representatives, of
Unionists Tomorrow
POSSIBILITY OF TRUCE
STILL VERY DOUBTFUL
British Government Planning
to Make Home Rule Bill
More Workable
(By United Press)

London, July 1.-The fate of peace
in Ireland apparently. hinges upon
the result of tomorrow's conference in
Dublin when Deamon De Valera, pre-
sident of the Irish Republic, will re-
sume his conversation with represen-
tatives of the Unionists.
Jan SHUTS, premier of South AT
RIGA, is expected to attend the meet
ing and make known the result of the
conference with members of the Brit
ish government following his flying
trip to Dublin.
The possibility of truce is stiH
doubtful hut it is said that there will
likely he a cessation Of raids on both
sides without q formal agreement,
and once the guerilla warfare ceases
either side will hesitate before assum-
ing, the responsibility of resuming the
fighting.
The British government is under
stood to be planning now to- reorgan-
ize the Home Rule act and make it
more workable. The government,
however, is insisting on two con-
d,itions---that Ireland shall remain
within the British empire and that
there be no coercion of Ulster.

Time Limit FOR POTATO
CERTIFICATION EXTENDED
County Agent Dvoracek Urges
that Applications Be Sent
in Immediately 3

County Agent D. c. Dvoracek has
received a letter from A. G. Tolaas,
chief potato inspector, extending tho
time limit for application for certify
ing seed potatoes. Inspectors will
receive applications while in the field
for first inspection, but every farm
err who wishes to have his potatoes
certified is urged to make application
at once. Applications may be mail
ed direct to A. G. Tolaas, University
farm, St. Paul, with check payable to
the state treasurer for initial fee at
the rate of SO cents per acre, except
where three acres Of potatoes or less
are to be certified when the total
fee of SIS should accompany appli-
cation. Applications may be made
out and left at or mailed to the farm
bureau office, Bemidji, where they
will be forwarded. A supply Of
blanks is available at the farm bu-
reau office.
Mr.. Dvoracek says that every
farmer who plans on growing pota-
toes for sale as seed stock should not
fail to apply for certifcation. Ger
tilted seed always sells at premium
sufficiently above the price Of table
stock to make certifcation profitable.
Certification can be most successful
and profitable only through conscien-
tious effort on the part of the grow
er, together with sympathetic SUPP
port and perhaps constructive cri1i-
cism given the inspection system.
with high standard for honesty and
understanding Of high quality. Ger
tilted seed has a reputation to main-
tain for the locality where it is
grown. Growers Of seed potatoes
should cooperate in earning and sus-
tanning the reputation of Beltrani
county as a seed potato district in
producing more and better certified
ratatoes, and in creating a demand
for them on the market. Applica+
tions should be made and sent in at
once, Mr.. Dvoracek says. i

WOOL GROWERS TO HOLD
MEETING HERE SATURDAY
S: B. Cleland, Extension Work.
er, to Present Information
on Wool Situation

Wool growers of Beltrami county
will meet Saturday, July . at the
City hall, Bemidji, at 10 4. m. to dis
cuss the problem Of marketing the
1920 and 1921 wool clip. S. B. Clel-
and of the Extension Division, Uni
versity Farm, will present the lat
est information on the wool situation.
The emergency tariff has become a
law and has seemed to check i'm
portation of foreign woods and re-
suited in slightly higher prices. About
two and three quarter millions of
pounds of wool have been sold from
the Michigan, and Chicago wool pools
during the month prior to June II.
Support of the Truth in Fabric bill
will be urged. Two-thirds of WOODEN
fabrics manufactured are made of
shoddy and only One-third new or vir-
gin wool mixed with the tWo-thirds
shoddy. Every purchaser and wearer
Of wooden clothing is interested in
this bill 1t would make it necessary
for the manufacturer to label his
wooden fabric to show the amount of
new wool used.
The bill would make it possible
for the purchaser to know whether
he is getting shoddy or new wool
goods. and prevent passing shoddy for
virgin wool.
Every grower of wool is urged to
take enough interest in his wool bust
ness to attend this meeting, and take
some action in cooperation with 9TH
er growers towards marketing the
two years clip.

Washington, July 7.---Disarma-

ESQ alliance ,it was stated, in auth
oritative quarters today. A. renewal
of this pact in anything like the pre-

impossible for the United States to
take the Lead in calling a dlsarma-

Already this alliance between
Great Britain and Japan may have
proved the stumbling block to the

MEETS HERE IN AUGUST
Encouraging Report Made on
Financial Condition of :,
Birchmont Hotel

The desire on the part Of the resi-
dents of the surrounding country to
trade in Bemidji was again evidenced
at the "Wednesday meeting Of the
Civic and Commerce association,
when Fl. e. Craver appeared to re-
quest the opening up of a road to
permit the residents of his commune
ity to trade in Bemidji. His request
was referred to the traffic and high
way committee.
The association went on record as
approving the existing rules on soli-
citing done by outside parties in the
city.
The Chautauqua, to be held in Be-
midji July 10 to 81. was brought to
the attention of the members of the
association and request for coopera-
dion in the disposal Of tickets urged.
Enthusiastic reports were made on
the trips made by the various dele
cations to the various towns on the
Fourth of July. The secretary was
instructed to write to the different
places visited and express 'apprecia-
ton of the courtesies shown the Be-
midii people.
II. f. Duxbury and E. III. Winter
reported on the summer convention
of the Minnesota State Realty board
which will 'be held here August II
and 13 and asked for the cooperation
of the Association in the entertain
ment OF the visiting delegates and
their friends.

financial condition Of the Birchmont
hotel and stated that obligations were
being met promptly and that the
opening was a success. One guest OF

gave his check for $500 in advance
for the entertainment of his family
while there. Another gave a check
for $3.50. Expression OF delight at
the completeness Of the hotel are
heard according to reports, and the
action on the part Of the two guests
referred to above Is an Indication or
the appreciation with which the ac-
Communications offered by the hotel are
received.
