Washington, May 25.-Alarmed
at the apparent growing laxity in pro-
hibition enforcement, dry. leaders in
congress today determined upon strict
compliance with the law. Inquiry is
being made quietly by some members
of the house. to determine whether
someone in the treasury is trying to
hamper the enforcement Of the dry
law as recently charged on the floor
of the house. ,.s%I@ -
The drys are aroused because the
treasury department released 700 out
Of 1 200 dry agents a few days ago
when appropriation allotments ex-
pred without warning congress Of
the situation and asking for an adj
ditional amount. Representative Vol
stead of Minnesota believed big
blow to prohibition work was dealt by
this reduction and that the action Of

emergency appropriation of 100000
will; only partly repair the damage
which he claims has been done.

LAND CLEARING SURVEY
IN NORTHERN MINNESOTA
Sixty-nine Farms in Vicinity of
Blackjack Visited to Show
Progress Made

A survey made under the direction
of c. G. Worsham by the farm man.
agement division of the state uni
versity of the cut-over lands of north
ern Minnesota shows what the settlers
have done in land clearing.
Sixty-nine farms were visited in the
locality of Blackjack, Beltrami coun-
ty. There were eight settlers in the
Blackjack area who had cleared an
average of eight acres per farm, had
lived on their farms five years, had
cleared annually Ia acres; &c set
lers with an average of II acres clear
ed per farm, had lived on their farms
ten years and had cleared annually
1.8 acres; 16 farmers who had an av-
erage of % acres cleared per farm,
had cleared 8 acres per year; 8 set
tiers who had cleared an average of
8 acres per farm, had spent IA years
on their farms and had annually
cleared 4.3 acres; farmers had lived
on their places ID years and had
cleared during that time At acres
of land. or had cleared an average of
3.5 acres per year; 6 settlers with an
average of II acres cleared per farm,
had lived on their farms for 20 years
and had cleared annually SO acres
of land. An average of all the set
tiers in the Blackjack area show
that they have an average of ~
acres of land cleared, have lived or
their farms II years and have clear
ed an average of 3.3 acres per year
.y MANY people believe that settlers
will clear an average of 10 acres Of
land per year," says Mr.. Worsham
"but they forget that the average set
tier has but little capital, and to gel
money usually does considerable
work outside the farm. In addition
to clearing, land settlers must dc
their regular farm work. Settlers
who consistently clear acres OF
land per year are rapidly developing
their farms and are progressing much
faster than the average"

.BEMIDN UNIT OF n. E. A.
|. PRMANElILY ORGANIZED
DR.. strayer Of Columbia Will
Present Charter to Local
Unit on June 3

Bemidji's unit Of the National Edu-
cation association met Tuesday after
noon at 4 o'clock at the Methodist
church. This organization consists of
members of : the faculty of the Be-
midi State Teachers college and the
teachers of Bemidji public schools.
The National Education association
was organized in 1857. The purpose
for which it was chartered by con-
gress is expressed in the following
words: "To elevate the character
and advance the interest of the pro-
fession of teaching and to promote
the cause of education in the United
States of America" The organiza-
ton is now too large to give a fair
representation to all parts Of the
country. hence the plan of the organ
ization is now being changed. Local
units of the association are now being
chartered. Each community which
has a membership Of at least 81 &C.
tive members is entitled to send one
representative to sit in the represent
tative assembly at the meetings Of the
association. The next meeting will
be held in, Des MONIES, Iowa, and
will open July 8. This meeting will
be the most important since the meet
ing of 1857. AS the meeting of 1857
stated the standards and ideals of
the present organization, the Des
Moines meeting will shape the poll
cies and plans Of the reorganized as
sociation in its purpose to render a
larger and broader service.
Election of officers for next year
took place. M. w. Deputy, president
of Benidji State Teachers college,
was elected president of the local
unit. j. A. Elson, instructor at the
local high school, was reelected Sec
rotary and treasurer; R. o. Bagby,
superintendent Of public schools, was
elected delegate to the convention at
Des Moines, Iowa. f
The local unit has received its
charter as an affiliated unit. It was
decided to invite DR.. G. D. Strayer
of Columbia university to present
this charter to the local unit in the
afternoon of June 8. DrSStrayer will
be in Bemidji at that time to deliver
the commencement aG6sess at Be-
midi State Teachers college. DIR.
Strayer will also deliver an address
in the evening of the same day at
the Methodist church. The public is
invited to all these meetings.. ':'
It is felt that the local unit will be
an important factor in the advance
ment of education. The city of Be.
midi will be ably represented at the
Des Moines convention and will no
doubt exert powerful influence in
educational matters. F." '-'--s
