A group picture of those Bemidji
fans at a basket, ball game who really
do not think that they know more
about the rules of the game than
the referee.
Note-The sun was too bright
when the exposure was made and
consequently the picture was not
much of success. Nevertheless, you
can count the number Of persons in
it, and that's all that is necessary.
How Many Did You See?-
Ambish and Jazz
Luke McLuke says that nowadays
trap-drummer in a jazz band doesn't
have to know anything about music.
But he must be industrious azell.
Who Cares?-
Lies Perplexitiss
Life is said to be one darn bit of
irony after another. The street rail-
ways sweep the snow off their tracks
and then the Fords come along and
use them. This hasn't happened yet
in Bemidji, has it?
-DO lou hHOW WHy!-
No Jazz There
A London minister declares there
will be no jazz in heaven. If that
won't cause lot Of people to re-
form and begin an upright life,
nothing will.

MARYLAND TOBACCO CROP
FOR LAST YEAR A RECORD

BALTIMORE. April % (SpeciaD,
The Maryland tobacco crop grown
last year, which 10 already coming
IN for storage at the stat e tobacco
warehouses, is estimated, roughly, at
between 10000 and $4,000 hogsheads.
This, il expectations are realized, viii
make 1t the largest crop in the. his
tory Of the state.
According to the INSPECTORS the
crop is Of finer leaf than that which
came in first q year ago The initial
deliveries are usually Of a poorer
grade than those which come in later.
Therefore. the growers, the brokers
for much better results than they OBJ
close to 10000 hogsheads were left
on their hands.
C. w. Price. secretary Of the Leaf
looked for an unusually good season.
but he thinks the market for Mary
land; tobacco depends largely on the
outcome OF the peace-plans OF the
central powers. and the stabilizinE Of
the rate Of exchange. The opening
up Of trade relations with the central
powers. he thinks, will take care Of
a considerable ipArt of the Maryland
tobacco. -
In reference to prices, Mr. Price
said he didn't think the growers
would get more than 10 cents a
pound for the best grades this year.
The present prices are from cents
to 3S cents. Last year some tobacco
sold for as high as so cents.

RATIFICATION OF
TREATIES EXPECTED
Despite the Opposition Which Senator
Borah Of Idaho Will
Make.

Washington, d. G., Sept. 24.-lndica'
tions were that the new treaties ne
gotiated by the administration with
Germany, Austria and Hungary will be
speedily ratified by the Senate not
withstanding the opposition of Sena-
tor Borah, Republican, Idaho, as a re-
suit of intimations from the White
House that President Harding does not
regard with disfavor the reservations
recommended yesterday by the Senate
foreign relations committee and the
statement of Senator Johnson, Repub-
lcan, California, that the treaties as
reported out of committee sufficiently
safeguard America from European en-
tanglements and repudiate the league
of nations.
Although no program has been de-
termined for consideration Of the
treaties by the Senate, it is expected
by leaders that they will be ratified
within a week or ten days. Senator
Lodge, the Republican leader, stands
ready to hold the Senate in night ses-
sions to accomplish speedy ratification
The debate, which is expected to begin
to-day, will be in open session.

DISCREDIT CONFESSION.
OF Gus Cogan in Triple Murder Near
Dowagiac.

Dowagiac, Mich, Sept. 24,-Haying
failed in four days of investigation TO
establish motive, or the identity of
the murderer of William Monroe, his
wife and their H-year-ol daughter,
Neva, in their home here last Tuesday,
county authorities to-day questioned
acquaintance of the family in an eff
fort TO uncover new leads upon which
they might work.
Private detectives, engaged with a
subscription fund made up by towns
people, came 10 the aid Of local
authorities and took up other angles
of the case. These included a report
that two unidentified men had met
keva as she was returning from a pic
ture show last Saturday night, had
called her away from her girl compan.
ions and held a whispered conversation.
An infant in the Michigan children 3
home at St. Joseph furnished still an
other angle, but this has developed
little. it was said, beyond the fact that
the dead Monroe girl was the mother.
The officers have discredted a con-
fession of the crime made at kalama-
700 yesterday by Gus Cogan, an es-
capped inmate of the Illinois hospital
for the insane at jacksonville, who
was detained for questioning.

.FIREMEN HAD
A CLOSE CALL
When Auto Fire Truck Col
lided With Street
Car
TRc.,,sass I PLATFORM
,sass' WAS BROKEN OFF
And Fire Truck Damaged
- Fire Was a Small
Roof Blaze

Three members of the fire depart
ment had narrow escape from seri-
GUS injury this morning, when the
large chemical truck and an electric
car collided in front of the Houghton
& Robins store while the fremen were
answering an alarm from box Is at
Granite street. The left rear mud
guard was bent and torn away from
the running board and the tool box
was dented A section about four feet
long of the iron-braced runningboard
of the electric car was torn off. No
one was injured.
First Assistant Engineer Edward
Barrett was driving the truck at the
time. The box came in at about $40
O'Clock and the truck came north on
Main street at a moderate rate of
speed. A large auto truck was parked
on slant out from the curb in front
of the store and the electric car was
travelling south slowly. Motorman
John Murray said he did not see the
fire apparatus approaching. Barrett,
noticing the narrowing path made by
the approaching car, attempted TO slow
down still more and had done so to a
certain extent when the rear end cf
the fire truck skidded against the for
ward end of the street car The lat
ter hit the fire truck at the junction
of the rear mudguard and running
board, just forward of the left rear
wheel.
The crash was heard for several
blocks. The truck tipped and reeled
from the blow but Barrett kept his
head and continued on to the blaze.
With him on the truck at the time
were Charles Emerson and William
McHardy, jr. According to the city
ordinance, the fire apparatus has the
right of way and all electric cars must
come TO dead stop when the appa--
atus approaches. Barrett said he saw
the car and believed it would natural
ly stop. If it had few feet further
north, the collision would have been
averted.
Sparks from the chimney of the
house at ia River street set fire to
the roof and caused the alarm to he
turned in. Damage of about $50 was
caused. The house is owned and oc-
cupied by William Peters. John Hus-
sey. who lives next door, saw the blaze
on the roof and calling TO Mr.. Peters,
who was alone in the house at the
time, ran and turned in the fire alarm.
The chemical line was used. Mr.. Pc
ters is covered by insurance.
