LEGION ELECTS FOUR =.
ADDITIONAL ALTERNATES
Benidji Post to Be Represented
By Eight Members at State
Convention at Winona

Although the attendance was
small, considerable business was &C
complished by the Ralph Oracle post
of the American Legion in regular
session Thursday night at the rooms
Of the Civic and Commerce associa-
ton. The most important work of
the evening was the election of four
substitute alernates to take the place
of any Of the delegates and alernates
who may find it, impossible to attend
the state convention to be held at Wi
mona August i, 2, and 3. Three elect
ed alternates have. already stated
that they would be unable to attend
on account of business reasons.
Those who were elected to be on
the "waiting list" are Don Whitman.
A. Dannenberg, B. Borreson and
Kern Olson. At the previous meet
ing similar list was elected and
from that list; possibly two vacancies
will be filled.
Tho delegation was instructed to
support DR.. "A. A. Van Dyke of ST..
Paul as the next state commander ii
it appears within the best judgment
of the delegation after arriving at
the convention.
w len Representative Harold
Knutson visits this city August 5, a
committee will wait on him regard
ing the possibility of securing at
least two obsolete canon for the
Ralph Oracle park. Authority was
given the adjutant to order a caisson
and timber from the chief of ord
nance, United States army, for use in
post funerals. These are to be issued
out to Legion posts at SIS each, the
freight to be paid by the post.
The Bemidji post is to be repre-
sented at the convention by eight
members and it is planned by them
to leave here Saturday. The four
delegates, Fred Fraser, C. l.. Pege-
low, commander of the post, Paul
Howe and Darcy McGhee, expect to
leave tomorrow by automobile, while
the alternates will probably leave to-
morrow night in order to arrive at
Winona in time for he opening ses-
sion Monday morning. The delega-
ton plans to advertise Bemidji and
Northern Minnesota whenever an OPP
portunity is presented. There is also
a plan on foot to "paint the town
red", according to several of the dele
gates.

CARPENTER MAY ASK
DEMPSEY FOR SECOND GO
IF Frenchman Wins Next Bout
in u. S., He Will Challenge
Dempsey, 1t Is Said
By Henry Farrell.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
New York, July 29---When Georges
Carpenters wind came back after
Jack Dempsey had pounded all his
breath out in the Jersey City arena
he said something strange for q van
quished fighter.
dempsey beat me, and he will
beat me again in the same way.
do not want return bout
His frankness in discussing the
battle that deprived him of his LIES
ambition was but one Of the admir-
able characteristics that made him
almost as respected in defeat as he
would have been hOnOred in victory.
However, it has been learned from
some Of his intimate friends that the
Frenchman has not entirely set aside
the ambition to become the world 6
heavyweight champion. His frank
statement that he wanted no more OF
Dempsey is said to have been but one
Of his slreWd moves after the very
thing he denied he wanted.
If the Frenchman wins his next
bout in America, he will challenge
Dempsey again, it is understood. He
knows he can't beat the champion
now, but his advisers have told him
to wait another year or mOre---and
that Dempsey will beat himself In
the meantime.
Since the fight many Of the wise
|still think that he laid loWn in the
fourth round Of the bout with Demp-
|sey. Not that there was anything
fixed or crooked about it, but that he
found out he couldn't win and when
he went down the second time, he
stayed down to avoid further pun
ishment. His appearance on the
floor Of the ring and his condition in
the corner do not warrant a belief
like that. The Frenchman is a great
Snowman, a fine actor, but he hardly
could have faxed the look on his
face when Dempsey picked him up
off the canvas. and he. hardly could
have slumped, hump-backed, across
the ring ten minutes after the knock
out, unless he had been hurt badly.

cial interest this year in getting their

DATA FOR CERTIFIED
SEED POTATO GROWERS
Second Field Inspection to Be
Held During First
Week in August
(By'A. G. Tolaas, Chief Inspector)

(By'A. G. Tolaas, Chief lnspector)
The first field inspection of the
fields listed for inspection and GER
|tiflcation has ben completed. Very
few cases of varietal mixtures and
diseases have been found by the in
spectors ugl to this time, but num-
erous reports of imperfect stands
have been received. An imperfect
stand may be due to number of
causes; often being Che result of an
imperfectly working planter or the
prevalence of a disease such as black
leg or Rhizoctona with conditions
favorable. for their development.
This year during a great portion
of the planting season., conditions for
termination Were very unfavOrable.
Very little rain fell with the result
that seed pieces lay for u long time
in the soil, the upper three or four
inches, which is often the depth OF
planting, being virtually a dust
mulch. This condition is conducive
of the development OF the Fusarium
uiS IOGS W Hull Sobi atAbShSN III "
seed pieces and in certain fields, de-
pending on the length OF time the
seed pieces had been in the ground
before good termination conditions
arrived, caused their complete de-
struction. Consequently, where fields
listed for inspection affected in this
way are otherwise in good condition,
they will be given favorable consld-
Grafton by the inspectors.
Although blackleg, dry stem rot
(Rhizoctonia) and Fusarium wilt
have not as yet shown up to any eX-
tent, every grower growing potatoes
for certification should thoroughly
inspect his own field and be on the
lookout for these various troubles.
Should any Of them occur, the affect
cd plants, together with any plants
that are understood and unthrifty
should be removed Immediately. This
is absolutely necessary, since the in
spection regulations call for the re-
moval of such plants before the sec
ond inspection. The inspectors will
start out on the second field inspec-
ton during the first week in August,
the intention being to visit each
grower approximately one month aft
err the first inspection.

SETTLERS OPPOSE SCRAPPING
OF WINNIPEG RAILROAD
(By United Press)

Winnipeg, July 29.-The greatest
concern has been manifested among
the settlers and others served by the
Greater Winnipeg Water District
railway owing to the threatened
"scrapping" of that road. The rail
way was built when the aQueduct
which supplies Winnipeg with its
water supply from Shoal lake, was
under construction. At that time
steps were made to induce settlers
to use the railway. Now many, in
disnay, declare without reserve that
the discontinuance Of the railway
service would be followed by a gem
eral exodus from what they believe
to be one OF the richest, If not the
richest, sections Of the province.

CASS LAKErBEMLDu
= ROAD CONTRACT LET
BY Next Summer, Road From
Cass Lake to Bemidji
Will Be Completed

The last link in the grading of the
new Cass Lake-Bemidji Highway No.
8, under the Babcock system, mas
been started and will be finished this
fall. it is expected. This consists OF
6.2 miles from the south line of the
Beltrami- Itasca county line running
toward Bemidji. The contract was
let last Thursday to Contractor Ros-
holt of Warba for 291a cents GU
bic ward and the contract calls for the
removal Of $4,000 cubic yards OF
earth. The price of 29h cents per
ward is less than half the price ask
ed last fall when the bids were adver-
tised for by the county commission
ers for the same stretch of road.
The grading is completed now as
far as the river, on the road running
east from Nymore. The new stretch
will start at the river and 60 to the
Beltrami county boundary, the por-
ton from there to Cass Lake already
being graded. The surfacing on the
road will not likely be done until next
summer. When this strip of road is
completed, Cass Lake and Benidji
will be Joined by. a road that will
need no apologies from either city,
something that has not been possible
in the past. 1t will complete the link
between the Scenic highway at Cass
Lake and the jefferson highway at
Bemidji.
Because of this bad strip of road
tourists in the past have been in the
habit of making the connection at
Walker and Park Rapids. There will
be no reason for doing this next yea1
and the many hlE.dreds of tourists
who wish to make the complete tour
to Bemidji and Cass Lake, will be
able TO do 50 in comfort
