CLUBW0MEN'S MEETING

Owatonna, Mimi, Oct. Sit takes
more than just women to make the
annual convention program of the
Minnesota Federation of Women s

part in the educational section Of the
program. Dr.. Lotus D. Coffman of
the University Of Minnesota, Con-
gresham Sidney Anderson and DR..
G. A. Prosser of Dunwoody Insti-
tute are among the men scheduled to
participate.
international relations, immigra-
ton and disarmament figure largely
in the subjects for discussion during
the three-day program. That is the
chief reason why men are on the
program.
But the men will not hold the lime
light i'm the discussion Of great ma
tional problems. Miss Keith Clark of
St. Paul, widely known writer and
educator; Mrs. Rose Berry, Berkeley,
CAL, Mrs. Manly L. Fosseen, Mime
apolis, and others will take up the
cudgel on disarmament, peace treat
les and other paramount problems.
Mrs. George J. Allen, Rochester,
presiding, had hard job today. A
"neW idea' of the program committee
was to allow time for ample discus
sion on the floor of all subjects on
the program. Every member was to
be given an opportunity to express
her opinion.

The urban population as compared

striking differences in age, the per

43.7 for the urban population as com

the percentage under Is years OF age
is 2G.8 in the urban population as

the effect Of the immigration to the
city of foreigners and also OF native
population coming from the country
and thereby increasing the active
adult population of the cities at the
expense of the rural districts.
Almost three-ffths of the popula-
ton, 57.8 per cent, are old enough
to vote, being 81 or over; and IN this
class the men outnumber the women

The board of directors of the Civic
and Commerce association met IN
regular session Tuesday after the
noon luncheon. E. E. Mcdonald pre-
sented to the board facts concern
ing the demonstration of peat FOR
fuel which is to take place today 1T
Corona. He suggested that this mat
ter is of such vital Importance to Be-
midi, in view of the enormous peat
beds in the northern portion of the
county, that it would be we'll to have
the city and county represented 1t
was decided by the board to request
Mr.. Mcdonald to act as representa-
tive for the association.
A d. Johnson presented a map Of
the county for the consideration Of
the board showing the trunk system
of highways planned by the commits
sioners for future road construction.
When completed, according to the
map, the county will have splendid
system of highway trunk lines. On
account of some difficulty in getting
the bonding company, which bid on
the refundment bonds a short time
ago, to go through with their bid
there will be no money available for
the continuance of the highway work
for some time.
A letter was read from the ]. E.
Barr Picking company of St. Cloud
which stated that no further action
would be taken on the Bemidji propo-
sition until next spring at which time
they would be in better position to
know what the situation here would
require.
It was decided to consider favor
ably the proposition made by the lib
Route Book company to include Be-
midi in it's 1922 edition.
Letters were read from Charles
Carter and M. D. Stoner concerning
their trip to the Grygla district last
week. They reported most enthusi-
istically on the country through which
they drove and considered entirely
feasible the railway project planned
for the outlet from that community
to Bemidji: Mr.. Opsah1 explained to
the board the plans for financing the
original survey of the line, which
would cost in the neighborhood of
$4,000. Upon request from Mr.. Op-
sahl, the board of directors added a
finance committee of three members
to the DEVELOPMENT committee now
working on the project.

Every subscription mailed or turn
ed in to The Pioneer during these
next three days will carry with it the
greatest number of credits given at
any time during the campaign. After
that time there is serious cut in
the number of credits given. A six
months subscription is worth 500
credits now. while after Saturday,
October 8, it will be worth only 400,
and a one-year subscription will be
reduced from 500 to 1000, and
two-year subscription will only be
worth 5000 credits where now it is
worth 5000.

New York, Oct. 5.-(By Harold
Jacobs 1.-The team that lands the
first punch will win. That was the
verdict of fandom today as the crowd
gathered to witness the opening
rounds of New York's "civil war;"
So evenly were the Giants and the
Yanks matched, in the opinion of
grandstand fans, that an overwhelm-
ing avalanche would rise with the mi
tial break. Contrary to most worlds
series, the fans looked for slugging
matches rather than pitchers battles
in the present series. The pitchers
are usually working far above their
seasons average, but in the present
struggle the fans are confident the
bat will be mightier than the curve.
Should the fans dope prove true,
indications would appear to favor the
Yanks. They have hit their way to
the American league title by sheer
clubbing power. The Giants are some
swatters themselves, however, their
team averages .299, compared with
the Yank's 300.
The problem in the states fans
minds was what will Babe do?"
Most of the freak betting centers
about Ruth's ability to make home
run hitting at the expense of the
Giant battery. He has appeared in

Starting with but one run in the

the New York Yankees this after
noon won the first game of the

The Yankees csored in the first,
once in the fifth, once in the sixth.
Yesterdays betting in New York
was 1 to 10 in favor of the Giants
for the opening game, although the
sentiment in the grandstand today
was that the team which made the
first run would win the opener. The
latter proved true enough.

The final examinations in all sub
jects were given during the past
week. Final marks were registered
and the report cards given out on
Friday and Saturday.
This years publication of the
Pointer arrived in time to be dis
tributed on Friday and Saturday. 1t
1t is considered by all the most sue
cessful POINTER thus far published,
being not only larger and more ar
tistic than former issues, but also
containing many new features.
The teachers left for their respec-
tive homes on Saturday morning. We
are sorry to learn that many of them
will not be with us during the next
school term and sincerely hope that
the teachers replacing them will be
as efficient.
The school year has been on the
whole a very successful year. The
students have accomplished much in
their school work and the outside ac-
tivities of the school were never as
many and so thoroughly entered into
before.
