COUNCIL HEARS REPORT
ON CITY WATER SUPPLY
Changes to Be Made in Rate
When Consumption Passes
$4,000 Gallons

A report on the water supply or
Bemidji was made to the city council
at it's regular session Monday by the
Division of Sanitation of the Mime
sofa State Board of Health. Samples
had been taken from wells No. 2, 3
and 6, and reports were submitted
on the samples. According to the re-
port the water was very satisfactory
in all wells and the water supply in
general was considered very good.
The city engineer called the at
tention of the council to. the large
volume of water being consumed in
the city hall and stated that it was
possible some of the toilet traps were
allowing water to escape which should
be given attention.
The matter of removing the cluster
light posts on Minnesota, owned by
the First National bank, James Wick
ers and Charles Nangle. which was
requested by the council previously,
came before the council again in the
form of letters from the owners re-
questing that they be reimbursed to
the amout of $50 for each post and
lne posts removed ny lbe CllS. Hc
matter was referred to the park
board.
The report of the municipal judge
showed nine arrests for being drunk,
seven of whom paid fines, and the
other two were committed to Jail.
\ Tho application of Thomas c..
Brose for soft drink license at 220
Third street was laid over until after
January /. The application of Charles
Williams for a transfer of his soft
drink license was refused and the
license revoked.
The report of the city veterinarian
was also received and filed.
i A change has been made in the rate
to be charged for water consumed,
where the consumption of water is
over $4,000 gallons per quarter. The
rate for the first $4,000 gallons has
not been changed, but where the con-
sumption exceeds $4,000 gallons per
Euuarter the rate is 20 cents up to
100000 gallons. After the consump.
ton has reached 100000 gallons, the
rate is reduced to s cents yer 1000
gallons for the next 100000 gallons
up to / ,000.00O gallons, after which
the rate is II cents.

TUBERCULOSIS DEATH =
RATE LOWER lNSTATE
DR.. WE. Wild Says Reduction
Is Brought About Largely
Through Education

In connection with the Fourteenth
Annual Sale of Christmas Seals,
which started November rs, DR.. Will
lam Wild, executive secretary of the
MINES ota Public Health association,
calls, attention to the changed attl-
tude regarding tuberculosis. Dr., Wild
says, eff If we turn4ou backs a genera
ton, situation of hopelessness and
despair presents itself. People with
tuberculosis did not worry as to how
long it would take them to have the
disease arrested; their friends and
neighbors gave no thought to the
fact that something could be done;
for gloomy, pessinistic feeling per-
vaded the atmosphere. The only
thought of both patient and friends
was how soon would death leave its
call: and this feeling was more than
justifable for at that time when tu-
berculosis was discovered, it had in
truth and in fact taken hold, for the
reason that the disease was not dis
covered until the patient was on the
brink of the grave.
) Through education, people have
been made to- realize that there is
hope for one with tuberculosis if the
disease is detected early enough and
in an enormous number of cases the
disease is detected early enough and
the patient sent back into the world
able to earn a livelihood. The disease
is being diagnosed earlier and earlier
with the result that thousands who are
today living would be dead, if the
older order still existed. IT"
For many years the National Tu-
berc ulosis association and it's affili-
ated state and county public health
associations have been teaching and
preaching and educating so that the
people would realize the Importance
of preventing tuberculosis. And each
year as Christmas draws near, the
little penny seal is offered to all: The
constant hammering year after year
on the subject of tuberculosis has
made the people realize that some
thing can and is being done. The re-
suit is that last year the death rate
was lower than it has ever been in.

ESCAPE
FROM DROWNING


Alvin Welch had narrow escape
from drowning last evening. He was
skating we'll out on the lake near
,Birchmont when the ice suddenly
gave way beneath him. He went I'M
der, coming up underneath the ice
where the lake was frozen, but the
ice was thin enough to be broken
SO that he could get air. :$..
Z Had it not been for the fact that he
is an excellent swimmer he undoubt
eddy would have drowned, as the
crust Of ice was too thin to allow
any one near enough to rescue him.
He finally managed to push himself
to ice strong enough to hold his
weight, and he skated on to Birch
mont where he secured dry clothing,
and is apparently none the worse
today from his icy bath.

GERMANS LEAD IN RACE
FOR TRADE in CHINA
Cheap Prices, Due to Position
of German Mark, Have Big
Influence on Trade
By Carl D. Groat

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Washington, Nov. 29.-German in
dustry, reaching out into every corner
of the earth for trade, is making big
inroads in China:
Chinese representatives here said
today that the way things are now
heading, Germany will OUTRAGE Eng
land and America unless the latter
nations watch out. In some districts,
where, for instance, big American
interests, including Standard oil,
have been pioneers, Germany is now
passing the American trade records
as we'll as the English.
German accommodation to the
economic methods and customs Of the
country with whom it deals is cred
tied by the Chinese as the reason for
Germany's growing trade there.
China has never cherished very vio-
lent feelings about Germany, though
she aligned with the Allies in the
World war. Hence, Germany is not
finding it particularly difficult to re-
establish herself since conclusion of
the Chinese German trade treaty last
sumner.
The Germans are putting money
into Chinese companies readily agree
ing that the Chinese can have the
majority holdings--and. in some
cases even. advancing money to Chi
nesc interests so the latter can fl
nance their 81 per cent of con-
Germ.
Then again, the Germans have
waived the right Of extra territori-
atty" That means that a German
stands on the same basis as a Chinese.
Under extra territoriality, an Amer
lean, for instance, could not be ar
rested by Chinese authorities, but
instead only by American authorities
on Chinese complaint. Again, an Am
erican could only trade in the So
called "treaty ports" whereas the
Germans have waived the extra ter
ritorial right and can go ahead and
trade where they choose.
These instances, above cited, are
a part Of the German system of
adapting their, methods to the foreign
methods. And the result is that Ger
many is fast getting hold in China.
OF course, the element of cheap
prices, due to the low position Of the
German mark, has a marked bearing
on the problem.

Opposed to Plan for 1.-TWO

ATTITUDE, HOWEVER,

Interest Is Conferred on Jap
Objection to Figures
in Hughes Plan !

Washington, Nov. 20, (By Carl D.
Groat) President Harding's pro-
posed association of nations must full
fill functions other than those OF the
League of Nations if it is to have the
British support. This idea stood out
today as the result Of brief inter
view with Arthur j. Balfour of the
British arms delegation, in which he
remarked, eve don't want two
leagues of nations, do we?'
Balfour has been avoiding with
skill any statement which would per-
tain to his government officially, but
his brief talk on the subject left the
conviction that he stands strongly for
the league and was opposed to the
annual session in Washington as an
international body.
"On Saturday you suggested you
had not read the papers as to Har-
ding's association idea. Can you say
anything today about the subject?'
he was asked.
" 81 haven't really studied the matter
yet" he said. "ls there precise
question on it,"
"Can you say then how you stand
on the League Of Nations" he was
further questioned.
II don't like to enter into dis
cussion of that now he replied, "but

BUFFALO ON THE INCREASE
Latest Reports Show That the Animal
10 Not Likely to Become Extinct,
at Any Rate.

The fear that existed not long ago
lest the native buffalo would soon be-
come extinct Is dispelled by report OF
the American Bison society, which
states that there were 3,S93 wild and
tame buffalo in the United States in
January, 1920. This Is an increase of
about 300 per cent since 1905, In which
year there were Lie wild and tame
buffalo In this country.
OF the nine goyernment-owned herds,
two Of the largest under the care Of the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture are located In the Wichita nation
al game preserve. Oklahoma, and on
the national bison range at Dixon,
Mont. The herd on the Wichita pre-
serve now numbers 154. including %
calves of this year. In this herd four
bulls and 12 cows are ten years Of age
or over. and one COW Is twenty-nine
years old. The Is animals that con-
stituted the original Wichita herd came
from the New York Geological park.
1t Is planned this year to dispose OF
some Of the surplus buffalo In the gov
eminent herds In accordance with the
provisions made by the 1919 appropria-
tiOnal bill for their care. Public parks
and municipalities are the largest pa
irons. BY distributing the animals
over the country. If disease or mis-
fortune overtakes the main herds, there
still will be stock left with which
