LOCAL DUCK HUNTER HAS
THRILLING EXPERIENCE

Although rarely ever seen wear
ing any other Sort of headgear than
an ordinary cap, it is understood that
from now on Paul Howe of the
Northern National Bank will wear
high silk hat when out hunting
ducks. The fact that Paul is not
very tall probably saved his life
Sunday.
While he and two other young men
of Bemidji were out at Rice Lake
near Turtle River Sunday, some
hunter with high-powered rifle ap-
parently took a shot into the rice beds
of the lake to find out if there were
any ducks hiding there. However,
it happened that Mr.. Howe and one
of the other young men were out in
the middle of the lake in canoe,
entirely concealed by the rice beds.
The bullet took a chunk out of the
top layer of Mr.. Howe's cap, at
least not quarter Of an inch from
the top of his skull. Ricocheting,
the bullet then passed a short dis
lance from the other young man who
was standing on the opposite shore
from where the bullet was fired.
Mr.. Howe considers his escape a
matter of rare luck and the chances
are that he will be hearty exponent
for coat of armor the next time
ne goes hunting.

The Executive Committee has de-

ton of the National Rivers and Har-
bors Congress will be held at the New
Willard Hotel, Washington, D. c.,
on Wednesday and Thursday, Decent
Der and 7, and the official call will
be isued shortly
This will be the second convention
of the Congress in 1922, the Seven
.tecnth, which would regularly have
been held in December, 1921, having
been postponed until March of the
present year because of the Confer
cnce on the Limitation of Armament.
There were also two conventions in
1919, none having been held in 1917
on 1918 on account of the war.
There is a growing appreciation of
waterways among the business men
of the country-an appreciation
which. will be greatly increased by
the shortage of railway cars which
is already in evidence and which, un-
less all signs fail, will be serious
matter by the time the convention

FOREIGNERS ARE NOT
WELCOME IN GERMANY
Distinct Spirit of Hostility
is Result of Actions of
Some Foreigners
r v Carlo. GrOat


Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Berlin, Oct. 16-Americans and
other foreigners will be unwelcomc
in Germany this winter.
Already, keen spirit Of resent
ment, especially among the working
classes, is setting up against what are
called "valuta-strong foreigners.
And, part of this resentment, it
maybe said in all fairness is attrib-
utable to the conduct Of certain tray
cling foreigners, who have been
swarming over Germany this sum-
mer
They have made it difficult for
Americans and others whose business
requires them to remain in Germany.
They have Haunted in the faces OF
walters and shop girls their dollars
and their cheap marks; they have
boosted of how cheaply they can buy
foods and goods in Germany; AMI
have said they would be "glad to get
rid of this junk" --meaning the marks
they bought by the bale.
The German has seen this; he has
read, too, daily of how many marks
can be had for dollar, and of how
the foreigners were "buying out
the county, taking along not only
luxuries but necessities: He has
heard of the foreigner Teasing on
cavier, lobster and thampaePe at
rates comparatively low when reck-
oned with American of British cur
rency.
Furthermore. he has observed that
many Of the foreigners were leading
a loose life-wine, women and song.
Then he has turned the page, and
read how many hundred marks his
meat and his butter and his bread
and potatoes are costing and will
cost. He has reckoned that up in
the terms of a weekly wage running
between 1000 and 1000 marks at
present and has come to the con-
clusion that the economic situation
is all wrong.
And. along with it he has gathered

The result is distinct spirit of
hostility. A few cases have come to

'SHlPSTEAD ADDRESSES
LARGE AUDIENCE HERE
Farmer-Labor Candidate For
Senate Flags Newberry and
Esch-Cummins law

Playing Newberryism and declar-
ing that the Ecsh-C ummins law is the
most vicious class legislation ever
enacted, Henrik Shipstead, Farmer
Labor candidate for the United
States senate from Minnesota, ad-
dressed an audience of between 400
and 500 interested voters at the new
armory Saturday evening.
He referred to the Ecsh-Cummins
law as vicious class legislation. I'm
der this law, the speaker said, rail
roads are given six percent on eight
cen billion five hundred million dol
lars, which, he. reflected, included
"a large amount of watered stock.
He told of how Senator LaFollette
and Senator Smoot had placed the
value Of railroads at, eight and twelve
billions respectively.
Declaring himself in favor of an
adjusted compensation for the Ser
vice men of the World War, he said
the boys were told that nothing
would be too good for them when
they got back from the World War,
and that "nothing'' was what they
received. He favored soldier bon
us to be paid out of war profits.
Declaring that Senator Kellogg
voted for the Ecsh-C ummins bill and
against the bonus bill, he added that
a change is needed in the senate SO
that justice shall again be done.
He likened the Newberry case to
similar situations in Rome where
seats in the government were sold
to the highest bidder, declaring that
Rome met it's downfall in that man,
ner. He also declared that rural
credit laws had been enacted far
more for the benefit of Wall Street
brokers than for the benefit of the
farmers. He also scored those mem
bers of the present congress who are
going about saying that they have
no apologies to make.
Frank H. Keyes, former mayor
of International Falls, proceeded Mr.
Shipstead on the program, he giving

During Coming Three Weeks
Candidates Will Be Aided
by Imported Talent
LARGE VOTE EXPECTED
IN NORTHWEST STATES
Minnesota Has Two Three
Cornered Races; N. D. Has
Interesting Contest
(By United Prsss)

St. Paul, Oct. 16-Political cam
paigns in Minnesota and the Dakotas
were trimmed for a whirlwind finish
today.
In the last three weeks before
election candidates will be aided by
imported talent in their efforts to
win. A larger vote than has been
cast in recent years is expected in
the northwest> states because of hot
contests.
Republicans in Minnesota are
frankly concerned over the popularity
gained by Anna Dickey Olesen in
her vigorous campaign against Frank
B. Kellogg for the U. S. Senatorship.
The presence of D. Henrik Ship
stead, farmer-labor candidate in the
race is looked upon as assuring the
reelection of Senator Kellogg, how,
ever. DR.. Shipstead polled 281 900
votes against Governor Preus for the
governoship last election, and while
no very great campaign has been
conducted by him this fall, he is 7ex-
pected to retain g large following.
Two months ago Republicans were
betting that Mrs. Olesen, the first
woman to be nominated for the sen
atorship in the country, would not
poll 100000 votes. Within the last
month this sentiment has changed,
and sources of ordinarily good judge
ment are predicting that Mrs. Olesen
will poll around 100000 votes. : IL
Democrats, enthusiastic over the
remarkable campaign Mrs, ,Olesen
has conducted virtually alone, are
full of confidence that Mrs. Olesen
can be elected. They are certain
that if her campaign winds up sue
cessiully as it has gone in the last
month, she will be the first woman
elected to the U. S. Senate.
The gubernatorial contest has been
faded by the senatorial race. Gov
ernor Preus and Senator Kellogg, &C.
spite the fact that Governor Preus
was ready to accept the endorsement
to run against Kellogg in the pri-
mary, are playing hand in hand. They
have been appearing for united Re-
publicanism. Governor Preus Is OPP
posed to Edward Indrehus and Mag
nus johnson, the former democrat
and the latter a farmcr-labor candi-
date.
In North Dakota interest centers
in the battle between former Gov
ernor Lynn J. Frazier, and j. F. L.
