the streets of St. Louis shortly, to
prevent rapidly increasing bank mes
senger hold-ups.
A chauffeur and one or two armed

"Jesse James was piker compared
with the bandit Of today" declared
A. H. Heller, vice-president of the
Bremen bank, in revealing the CO.
operative plans Of the nine banks
and trust companies to cope with
the outlaws.
The majority of the institutions
have been the victims once or more
of the bandits depredations during
the past year. Daring hold-ups of
banks have lately been succeeded by
equally daring robberies Of bank
messengers on the streets and trolley
cars.

BIG COMBINATION SALE
ATTRACTING TRADE HERE

The combination sale of Shavitch
Bros. clothing store and Wilson &
Company garment shop, which began
Thursday, is attracting trade to Be-
midi from distant sections of the
country.
The sale started with a big boom
and according to announcement will
be continued all next week.
Patrons of the stores advise that
the bargains offered are quite un-
usual and those who have come
from a long distance say that the
bargains warrant the expense of the
trip.
Other Bemidji stores are also pro-
fitting by this added patronage
brought to the city and many are
entering into bargain giving spirit,
all of which is being appreciated by
the out-of-town trade as well as those
living in the city.

IS AROUSED BY
RUMORED RACE RIOTS
Two Negroes Are Killed BY
Officers Ambushed After
Arresting Negro

league, Texas, June 3-Freestone
county, scene of the recent quad
ripple lynchings Of negroes, was
quiet today after a wild night of
rumored race wars and mobilization
of hundreds Of whites which resulted
from negro uprising which was
found not to exist. State rangers
patrolled the streets of the city to-
day and all roads leading to Kirvin
and" Simsboro.
Reports of serious trouble started
late yesterday, when officers who had
gone to arrest Henry Gibson, 49,
year-old negro, were ambushed in
Simsboro by three negroes and two
of the negroes were killed in gun
battle.
Immediately after the gun battle,
rumors of the uprising swept several
counties and roads were crowded
with hundreds of heavily armed
whites in automobiles. The white
army was estimated at 1900. Hard
ware stores in the surrounding towns
were besieged as the whites armed
themselves.
In several places county highways
experienced traffic jams as hundreds
Of cars blocked the roads en- route
to the scene Of the shooting.
The trouble arose when Deputy
Sheriff John r. King and Walter
Yearly, Va citizeni went to arrest
Gibson. King declared Gibson was
wanted in connection with threat
to kill another negro and not in con.
nection with the murder of Eula Aus
alley for which four negroes were
recently lynchcG4 Gibson was ar
rested and the party had started
for Kirvin, about five miles from
Simsboro.
AS they passed a house, shots pass.
er over the officers heads, Yearly
said. The officers dropped TO the
ground and two negroes broke from
| the house. TIE officers shot and
killed them as they ran. A white
man who passed that way after he
had seen the officers take Gibson,
discovered the two dead negroes in
the field and spread the alarm that
they had either been killed or cap
tured by negroes The report
spread like wild-frc through the
| three counties.

LUMBER MARKET REPORT
SHOWS STEADY INCREASE
Steady Expansion of Building
and Industry Generally Is
Stimulating Sales

The lumber business continues to
be stimulated by the steady expan-
sion in building and industry gem
orally. The volume of orders is
heavy, mills accepting orders for
good deal more lumber than they are
producing. In fact, for the first 20
weeks of 1922, orders exceeded pro-
duction by 13 per cent; while for the
last week orders exceeded produc-
ton by &c per cent. Stocks in man.
ufacturers' hands have been material
ly reduced. A number of manu-
facturers are out Of the market tenn
porarily and are concentrating their
efforts upon making shipments so
that they may re-enter the market
as soon as possible
Production has been increasing,
but the increase from now on will
be slower, as most big mills are run
ming and many of them are operat-
ing night as we'll as day shifts. De-
mand for hardwoods is not SO keen as
that for softwoods, but the total vol
ume is increasing and that division OF
the lumber market is firm. Softwood
prices have been advanced quite gen.
orally due to the steady pressure OF
heavy demand, according to the
American Lumberman. For the first
twenty weeks of 1922, the National
Lumber Manufacturers Association
reports the following vital statistics
in board feet: Production, $685.
327,274; Shipments, 1907 ,573,932 !;
Orders, 1921 ,274,3O4.
There is considerable confusion as
to the result of the freight rate de-
creases ordered by the Interstate
Commerce Commission. The reduc-
tons are from peak rates and not
from current rates. Study indicates
that, as there have already been some
reductions in lumber freight rates,
the additional reductions in these
rates will be very small.

MILK FARMERS
AT SPRINGFIELD
England Producers to Dis
cusS Pooling.

WASHINGTON. Sept %. - The
sixth annual meeting of the National
Milk Producers Federation will be held
in Springfield, Mass, Nov. and ~, Il
was announced yesterday by Charles W.
Holman, executive secretary, following
the meeting of the executive committee
recently in Chicago. Mr.. Holman stated
that the Springfield meeting promises 10
be the banner meeting in the history OF
the federation.
"A program of vital interest, both to
producers and cOnEumers, IS being pre-
pared. Among the subjects which will
be considered are: Ways and means OF
cutting the cost of milk distribution
wider markets for milk products; trans
Dortation questions. such as the motor
truck versus the railway IN hauling milk
the effect of the tariff on the dairy in
dustrv: and the campaign to rid the
country of oiled milk. This latter will
he one of the features of the convention.
Not only will the Noigt bill, which has
paqspd the house and is now pending
i'm the senate be discussed but plans
will be set in motion for the passage of
uniform state laws in every important
dairy and industrial state to protect the
public from this growing menace.
"A matter of particular interest to
New England will be the sessions de-
voted to pooling. Within the past year
cO-operat tive milk marketing has under
gone Il notable evolution. Several OF
the most important milk producers as
sociations have completely reorganized
themselves on the basis of pooling the
price received by farmers for their milk
Under the pooling plan every farmer viii
receive the same price for his milk n
every other farmer within a given dis
trict, subject only to differentials such as
distance from town. grade and country
The federation is the largest overhead
i1Ta
in the United States. Its members
comprising 100000 farm families have
an aggregate turnover of Approximately
$500 100000 of milk annually.

The reasons given for the decrease are
the new selective process by which 800
freshmen were picked from more than

Music Rolls Quickly Found

Finding a particular music roll with
out the usual annoying search among all
the records in the cabinet, is possible
with an automatically operated cabinet
produced by a western man and described
and illustrated in the October Popular
Mechanics Magazine. The top of the
cabinet is built at an angle, and has six
rows of interchangeable title plates ar
ranged TO correspond to the music rolls
kept in pigeon-holes below. A push but
ton is at the head of each column. and
between the rows are levers working in
slots. When certain roll is desired,
lever is adjusted to the name of the rec
ord wanted. the button at the top is
pressed, and the rail- slides partly out.
