Shipping Board Order.

Although the managers OF the Great
Northern and the st. Paul railroads
have reached no decision respecting the
Shipping Boards recent order to cancel
their preferential freight contracts with
foreign steamship lines, there is under
stood to be strong possibility that
the order will be ignored unless the
board obtains added authority from
Congress. In the view of some railroad
officials the board Is without power TO
force observance OF such an order The

of one OF the aforementioned carriers,

ALICE SJOSELlUS TO
APPEAR HERE TONIGHT
Grand Opera Prima Donna t.
Appear Under Auspices of
1Woman's Study Club

Alice Sjoselius, who will appear IN
concert at 8:15 o'clock this evening
at the Methodist church under the
auspices of the Woman's Study club
Of this city, is Duluth girl by birth
and education. When, as student at
Central high school, she first sang
under the direction Of A. F. NJ Gus
tance, he, with others, saw her possli.-
bilities, but few dreamed Of the sue
cess she was TO; attain in her work
abroad and in this country. The Swed-
ish Methodist church, First Methodist
church, First Episcopal church Of
Duluth, all claim her because of the
splendid choir and solo service she
rendered for time in each; and it
was at one of the Clan Stewart con-
certs that Mr.. and Mrs. G.. G. Hartley
became interested in her voice and
through their generosity made it pos
|sib1e for her to study two winters
in New York.
Miss Sjoselius then sang in Duluth
for two years, after which she went
abroad where she studied with, Ma
dame Shoen-Rene, whose pupil she
still remains. # While in Europe she
became the protege of Mrs. Lamont,
widow of Col. Daniel S. Lamont, Sec
retary of war during Cleveland's ad-
ministration.
For two seasons Miss Sjoselius sang
in opera in Schwerin and had just
signed fiive-year contract with the
opera at Mannheim, which she had
won by only one guest appearance
instead of the usual three, when
America declared war. She immedi-
ately gave up these fruits Of her Ia
Dor and returned to her own country.
Appearing in concert in New York
and Boston. she met with instant sue
cess and the press notices of both
cities speak in the most laudatory
terms concerning the quality Of her
voice and her interpretive ability. A
concert tour from coast to coast was
arranged under the management Of
Evelyn Hopper Of New York, but a
nervous breakdown compelled Miss
Sjoselius to cancel it.
During her last three years Of study
IN Europe Miss Sjoselius has appeared
IN concert in many cities, among them
London and Paris. In 1919 she was
soiolst for some time in the American
cnurch OF the Holy Trinity in Paris.

JUVENILE BAND MAKING II.
REMARKABLE E PROGRESS
Organization Now Preparing
for Concert Season With
p
s-@ Fair Trip in Sight

% Spurred on by the desire to repre-
sent this city and community at the
Minnesota State Fair next fall, the
Bemidji Juvenile band, under the di-
rection Of G. o. Riggs, is now making
wonderful progress. Practice is be-
ing held three times each week. IN
addition to the home practice daily
and the concerts being played fer
nearly every basketball game in the
city. -.
Two Of these are regular rehears-
ais where the entire band plays as a
unit. Another practice Is held Sat
urday forenoons when each Of the
various sections practices at an APP
pointed hour. Director Riggs also ex-
poets to start fourth rehearsal for
those who are somewhat behind in
their work, this practice to be con-
tinued for the next three months.
+ The; majority Of the members Of
the band have been making exception
al progrss, and the attendance and
promptness of, the boys is remarka-
Bile. The average attendance at reg
klar rehearsals and concerts runs
close to 95 per cent of the total act
I've membership, (which is approx
imately 784 !
At the present time there is no
beginners band The members Of the
former beginners band have either
been promoted to the Juvenile band,
have quit the organization entirely,
or are now on the waiting list until
next fall. Those boys who are still in-
terested in the work at that time will
be given another opportunity, Mr..
Riggs states y ..r Il
The Juvenile band is now being
crowded the hardest of any season OF
the year SO that the organization may
be in the best of shape for the sum-
mer concert season. Mr.. Riggs states
that he will spare no efforts in at
tempting to secure the state fair trip
for the band, and indications are that
he will be successful although no ac-
tion has. as yet been taken by the
state fair officials. ,@~ ~.
The Juvenile band was organized
three years ago, but has had only two
and half years of practice due to
the fact that six months of that time
was practically lost while the City
building was undergoing repairs.
There are still about 45 members of
the present organization who joined
the band three years ago, The re.
mainder have been promoted from the
band organizd a year ago last fall
The band has always willingly given
it's services to aid civic projects and
the organization is rapidly being rec.
ognized as one Of Beinidji's big
assets; }.:.- = '''

DECLARES FARM RELIEF
DEPENDS ON DEPOSITORS
Representative of War Finance
Body Explains Workings of
Farm Loan Agency
(By United Press)

Fargo, N. D., Jan. 20.--Whether
the relief which the war finance cor
poration gives as an agricultural loan
agencyris great or small depends upon
the bank borrowers and depositors.
Depositors should cooperate. wher-
ever possible by leaving their money
in the bank; borrowers should ask
loans only for necessities. Congress
was wise in utilizing existing bank
ing institutions as medium for the
distributor OF this credit.
Speaking before the Tri-State
Grain Growers convention here today
M. O., Grangard, secretary of the
Minnesota branch of the Agricul-
tural+ Loan Agency of the War Fl
nance, Corporation, emphasized the
responsibility Of depositors whom he
called "cogs in the machinery for dis
tribution." "The banks cannot eat
their pie and have it, too," he de-
clared in explaining that if depositors
demand their money, the bank will
have to call in loans to unfortunate
farmers. ">.~T@ ~ ;
1t is here the War Finance Cor
poration senters in, but it's resources
can 60 further if there is co-opera-
ton. The large majority of banks,
Mr.. Grangaard believes, want to
bring relief to the communities in
which they operate.
81 do not condemn the bank that
finds itself unable to further extend
itself by. borrowing from the war
finance corporation and re-loaning to
borrowers--that may be conserva.
tism. commendable in banking.
"But do criticize a bank, who,
rather than avail itself of the war
finance corporation insists on undue
liquidation and undue payments to
the sacrifice of the borrower"
!, In three months the Minneapolis
agency has approved more than 900
applications aggregating more than
S3O,00,OOO. North Dakota leads with
$4,000, 900; South Dakota l,OOO,-
600, and Minnesota, $7,OOO,OO0.

PLANNING MONOPOLY
-. ON MEDICINAL LIQUOR
(By United PreRa)

Washington, Jan. 20.--Two far
reaching problems are, included in the
reorganization plan being drafted

Creation of government mon

icinal purposes.
Organization Of committee on
resources to- mobilize all
provisions and supplies in event of
war and keep constant check on no.
tential war resources of the nation
in peace time. -
Plan for creation of a govern.
ment liquor monopoly developed out
Of President Harding's feeling that
the enforcement of the prohibition
law.is. not effective enough. Physi.
clans issue hundreds Of prescriptions
every day, he declared.
