"PAY-UP" WEEK FAVORED
BY SOME BUSINESS MEN
Indications Are That Such a
Movement Will Be Started
in Bemidji Soon

Bemidji may have another Pay-ul
week, if plans Of some Of the busl-
ness men are put into effect ana II
the co-operation of all the merchants
can be secured. The idea is merely in
the form Of suggestion, but may
materialize within the next few days,
IF we pay each other all will gain,
said one business man in DISCUSSING
the prospects Of such a day. "Start
people paying their.bills! Start MONEY
circulating! Rrcak up the deadlock
It will start good times in any COM
munity."
If reasoning like this is. properly
presented and Pay-Up week will do
all some people claim for it, indica-
tions are that Bemidji will join in
the national movement.
Pay-Up week is not a local or state
idea. 1t is national idea and has been
put into successful practice FOR the
past six years in some localities.
Promoters of the movement claim
it will set people to paying their bills
that it will clean up thousands OF
dollars now tied up in accounts, that
it will start the money in motion and
make ten dollars do the work of d
hundred, because it passes from hand
to hand and wipes the slate clean
while in motion.
Publicity bureaus are urging com.
munities to participate in the ma.
tion-wide campaign. They declare that
there is plenty of cash to settle ur
bills, if only it can be started circu.
lating. They believe also that it viii
speed up business and put new life
and vigor into business generally
The matter probably will be given
serious consideration by the local
business men in the very near future

COMPROMISE ON IRISH !.
i, QUESTION IMPENDING

eByG United Press)

. London, Dec. 29.-(By Ed. L.
Keen)-As compromise between the
DeValera and Griffith factions i'm
-pends in Dublin following the state
ment of Premier Lloyd George, it
was learned authoritatively today. A
recognized spokesman on Irish affairs
predicted an agreement would be
reached which would assure ratifca-
ton Of the Anglo-Irish treaty when
the Dali Eireann reconvenes Jan
uary 8.
This substantiates the general be-
lief that growing public sentiment in
behalf of the treaty has left DeValera
in his fight against the pact.
Lloyd George has author
lied the issuance of the statement
that no revision, however slight,
would be considered, and that if the
present treaty does not prove good
enough there will be no other.

DELEGATION SEEKS AID
IN OPENING UP RESERVE
Walker Representatives Ask
Support in Attempt to
Open Forest Reserve

County Auditor C. D. Bacon OF
Cass county and r. j. Welsh OF Walk
err appeared before the Civic and
Commerce association at the regular
noon luncheon yesterday and pre-
sented the matter Of opening the ma
tional forest reservation, or portion
of it, consisting of about 22O,O0l)
acres and located northeast OF Leech
lake, for homesteads and settlement
in tracts Of 80 acres.
" Mr.. Bacon pointed out the advan-
tages to be obtained from opening
the land, large portion Of which is
well suited for agriculture and dairy
farming. He pointed out the increased
population which would come to the
territory from such action and stated
that at the. present time when the
government is being asked to do
something for the Iex-service men
who now have no promising future
this would be splendid opportunity
to place number on homestead land
where they could establish home
and make living.
T. J. Welsh pointed out very clear
ly that the original idea, which the
forestry department had Of reforest-
ing the territory by leaving some tree
to re-seed the ground, had dismally
failed, While there might be a small
amount of new growth in some places
the amount is so small as to be negli-
gible. The land is nothing more or
less than cut-over lands and would
remain such in the future unless open
ed for settlement. The area Of the
strip in question is about IS miles
long with an average width Of about
10 miles. #'f
sInasmuch as no beneficial results
are being obtained by leaving The
tract in national forest reservation
he considered it right and opportune
that delegation should be sent to
Washington to properly acquaint the
representative from this district OF
the facts in the matter and secure leg
islation making it possible to open
up the tract for settlement. A dele
cation is to leave for Washington in
the near future and he suggested that
considerable strength would be added
to the party if a representative be
sent from Bemidji.
The association recommended to
the directors that action be tatkcr,
to send such representative.

Death Results From

ATlenhurst, N. J., Aug. 29-Furth-
er official investigation was made
today as the result of the death OF
a guest from a fist fight involving
the belle of the annual masked ball,
which forms the summers social
climax for the fashionable beach
colony here.
Cecil Adrian Arthur OF New York,
son Of Mrs. J. Charles Taite, Of
London, England, died as the re-
suit of a quarrel during the dance
Salvatore LaBorde, student in
the College of Mechanical Engineer
ing at Cornell university, whose
home is in Havana, Cuba, is under
arrest.
The prosecutions chief witness
is expected to be Mrs. John S.
Sutphen, Jr., of New York, who
with her husband, was Arthur's
guest at the ball and was dancing
with Arthur when the alteration
occurred According to LaBorde's
friends, he thought he recognized
as a friend Mrs Sutphen, who was
masked and who attracted much at
tention by a masquerade costume
of which black silk knickerboclIers
were a feature. He asked her TO
dance and was refused Then, ac
cording to detectives who invest-
gated the case, his insistence led
to the quarrel with Arthur.
Chin Blow Fractures Skull.
The fight took place during in
termission when the masquerade
guests were in the grill room of
the hotel where the dance took
place In the fight Arthur went
down from blow to the chin and
his skull was fractured. He died
in a hospital.
LaBorde declared two other wo-
men at the dance were dressed like
Mrs Sutphen, with black knicker-
bockers, blouse and tam o'shanter,
and one of them was a member of
the Cuban's party. This and the
fact that Mrs. Sutphen's back was
turned when LaBorde approached
to ask for a dance led to the mis-
taken identity, he explained.
