Time Would Place Heavier
Load on South End

The taxpayers committee of South
ern Beltrami county, which is strong
ly opposed to county division at this
time met in the Civic and Commerce
association rooms Wednesday evening
and outlined a plan of action.
A committee was appointed to
raise funds in order that the proper

Using might be made.
This committee is thoroughly con-
WINGED that county division at this
time would throw a tremendous ditch
liability upon the taxpayers OF the

north of Red Lake.
Inasnuch as the line cannot be
changed before election time it is
urged that the division matter be de-
ferred until the ditch problems are
better worked out.
j. P. Lair was chosen chairman
and manager of the campaign. X.

RADIO RECEIVING SET
IN MOOSE CLUB ROOMS

The radio receiving set which has
been at the Grand theatre for sew
eral months has, since the change
in management, been removed by A.
A. Lee, who was operator Of both
the movie protector and the radio
receiver. Because the Moose lodge
is. planning for such set, Mr.. Lee
has kindly offered to demonstrate this
Set for the Moose. Yesterday after
noon he strung the aerial from the
Bemidji Hardware to the City hall
and installed the set in the Moose
club rooms. From that time until
midnight, he picked up messages and
concerts from the usual sources, al
though atmospheric conditions were
none the best for radio yesterday.
Mr.. Lee has generously consented
tc operate this radio set until he
resumes his former position as OPP
orator at the Elko theatre in about
two weeks. This set is offered at
very advantageous price and it is
hoped that enough members will soon
add their names to the subscription
list to raise the total amount needed
to purchase the set.

EYE WITNESS TO TELL
NAME OF N. ]. MURDERER
(By United Press)

New Brunswick, N. j., Oct. 90
The despairing death cry of Mrs.
Elanor Mills, murdered with the Rev
Edward Wheeler Hall on the night
of September Id, has led a woman,
who claims she saw the crime, to
charge a prominent New Brunswick
woman with the double killing.
Mrs. James Gibson alleged eye
witness of the shooting of the pastor
and the choir singer, declared she
is haunted by the dying screams Of
little Mrs. Mills and that she will
name the woman who assisted in
the killing.
Without naming publicly the guilty
woman, Mrs. Gibbs made her state
ment so as to point the way to an
arrest.
The state forces have been in a
state of unusual activity for the past
twenty-four hours. Certain houses
of New Brunswick are being closely
guarded. Authorities declared the
arrest, which is expected to re3ult
from Mrs. Gibson's story, will not
come today and possibly not Friday.

the American people more abolt

in full effect, will be the equal If
any in the world, will be observed
throughout the nation tom ,rrow.
The hope of the sponsors If Navy
Day." which will be celebrated this
year for the first time, IS that it will
be given an annual place on the
American calendar
The 9th of October was selected
because it is the birthday of that
great American advocate of prepar-
edness, Theodore Roosevelt.
The idea of setting aside 4 day
for promoting more general know
ledge of the Navy, it's history, it's
war and peace time missions and
what an adequate navy means to a
nation, originated with the Navy
League. Enthusiastic endorsement
was given the proposal by the naval
officials. and with the sanction Of
President Harding and Secretary of
Navy DENLY "Navy Day" was created.
Plans for the observance of the
day were arranged through the Navy
League, which is civilian organiza-
ton composed of prominent Ameri-
cans, founded year ago for the
specific purpose of fostering better
public knowledge of the American
Navy.
Speakers will radia broadcast their
orations from many stations to radio
fans scattered through the rural dis
tricts and the great central and west
ern states as we'll as in the congested
industrial districts. The five movie
newsreels will all make the navy ure-
dominant in their releases for that
date.
In many Of the larger cities special
celebrations are being planned, that
range from parades to mass meetings
which speakers of national promi-
nence will address. Here banquet
will be held. over which President
Harding and many dignitaries have
been asked to attend.
Governors of all the states have
been asked by the league to issue

MEETING OF TAXPAYERS
OPPOSED IS THE RESULT
Report of Committee Named
to Secure Data Against
Plan Not Accepted

Resembling the outburst of an
ancient radio in action, the meeting
of the Civic and Commerce asso-
citation Wednesday noon permitted
it's members to depart unscalded in
spite of the fact that the ''boiler"
of the smooth working county division
machine blew out some of the ex-
haust valves when it came in contact
with an opposition machine with its
''cutout" open.
It was a healthy discussion and
Earticipate1 in by the COMMITTEES
from the north and a committee
':supposedly'' representing the local
association, but whose report was not
even accepted and filed, as is the
usual custom.
In an effort not to "incriminate"
the association, motion was duly
made and seconded to the effect that
the association not endorse or favor
county division.
This motion brought forth heated
arguments, pro and con, participated
in not only by members of the COM
mittee, but by number of members
and others. The result was that the
president ruled the motion out of or
der, or rather brought forth his dec
laration that he would not put the
motion unless a demand for Hdivi-
sion of the house was asked. No d.
vision was cals3d for and no no motion a',l
was put. <'"'< :. . :

is one of the strongest, most finan-
cially solid accident insurance COM
panies of America. 1t was founded
in 1886 and has done business in
one place ever since.
It has assets for the protection
of policy holders Of more than one
million dollars. 1t is licensed to do
business in Minnesota and sc other
states. It pays claims promptly and
conscientiously endeavors to give
service that is satisfactory as we'll
as a benefit to humanity.
The details of this startling an
nouncement appear on other pages
of this issue and all persons who are
Of an age to obtain protection thru
accident insurance should not lose
a single day in securing policy.
If they desire a policy that will
cover any kind Of an accident that
may happen to them, they should
consult an agent of an old line COM
pany writing that kind Of insurance.
For such a policy they will pay many
dollars, because such blanket policies
necessarily require large premiums
to make them profitable and to.gro-
Etect the insuring company. :
If they desire protection limited to
some of the more common POSSIBLE
ties of injury, they will find in the
Pioneer policy the service which is
sold at very low rate for a policy
Of 100000 coverage in event of
death and liberal coverage for GER
tain other accidents.
While this is the first newspaper
announcement of the Pioneers in

men are among them and as one
prominent man said: cts SO cheap

afford to be without it."
The cost Of the policy protection
is rs cents a year. Did you ever
hear anything like it before?
No examination necessary. Any
person between the age Of 16 ad 70
can secure a policy for rs cents,
provided of course he is subscrib-
er to the Bemidji Daily or Weekly
Pioneer. You pay your IS cents
for the policy and agree to take the
paper, keeping it paid in advance.
1t is not necessary to pay a year in

it paid up. If your subscription is

WESTERN Line CARS TO
BE- RETURNED FROM EAST
Car Service Division Seeks
To Provide Cars For All
Western Shippers
(By United rress)

Fargo, Oct. 26-Western line cars
must be returned from the east at
once. This was the essence of one
of the most drastic car orders ever
sent out by the car service division
of the American Railway Association,
according to a telegram received by
H. B. Fuller, secretary of the North
Dakota Farm Bureau Federation.
Steps to carry out the order have
been taken, according to
the telegram, and two trains Of emp
ties are prepared to move west.
The telegram follows: "The car
service division of the American Rail-
way Association has today issued the
most drastic kind of car orders fore
ing the return Of western line cars
to the northwest to meet the emerg-
encies confronting the farmers Of
your territory. All western line cars
now here on eastern roads must be
returned empty or underloaded to
the western line at once. Already,
one large eastern railroad has two
trains Of empties made up and this
movement is destined to the west
Markets are flooded with potatoes,
Mr.. Fuller declared reports to his
office show. Very few potatoes are
being stored.
In view of these facts, fear that
the dumping will break the market,
Mr.. Fuller urges that if prices fall,
marketers should store taking advan-
tage of the excellent facilities Of the
state and in the Twin Cities. This
will likewise have a beneficial effect
of keeping ears from long hauls.
Potatoes are down 5 cents today.
The Federated Fruit Growers
Agency reported that yesterdays
shipment of LAO cars is more than
sufficient for the present demand.
The supplies at the Chicago and Kan
sas City markets are increasing.
This is pounding prices down and
creating a tendency of small town
operators to wait until the markets
hit rock bottom.
