FIRE DESTROYS BARN, g..
GRAIN, CLOVER STACKS

A fire which destroyed a barn,
four grain stacks and three stacks
of clover on the farm of Mr.. Burt
rum near Tenstrike, Sunday, was
witnessed by Wayne Lapley: George
Klungness and Fred Breen, who
were returning from picking cram
berries in that vicinity. Il.
The boys noticed a column or
smoke in the distance and started IN
that direction but were turned back
by neighbors who were running in
all directions from the fire as they
had been warned that there " was
dynamite in the barn and all got
to safe distance before it exploded
scattering burning embers into che
clover and grain stacks which arc
total loss.
The Bemidji boys helped in every
way in trying to save the grain and
in putting the fire out. but the fire
had gained too great Roadway and
their efforts were bent on saving
nearby property. Mr.. Burtrum was
not at home when the fire started
and is unable to account for IT'S
origin.

FAIR HEALTH BOOTH IS
GREAT HELP TO MOTHERS

The Health Booth at the North
ern Minnesota fair proved to be one
of the most interesting and helpful
to the general public of any exhibit
on the grounds, according to those
who were in close touch with the
work.
The booth is the first of its kind
ever opened at the local fair and was
in charge of Miss Beth McGregor,
trained nurse, and placed there un-
der the supervision Of the Baby Wei
fare committee of the Woman's
Community and Civic club Of this
city.
Mothers were given free instruc-
ton regarding the care Of babies and
patterns were issued for baby clothes
and given free. These were sup
piled by the division of Child Hy-
giene, made possible by the passage
of the Shepherd-Towner act.
The local committee, under wGose
supervision the display was arranged,
is comprised of Mrs. R. L. Given,
chairman; Mrs. Earle Barker, Mrs.
A. E. Feir, Mrs. D, L. Stanton, Mrs.
E. D. Boyce and Mrs. R. E. Richard

TRAIN WRECK CAUSE
INVESTIGATION IS ON
Blame to Be Fixed for Derail-
ment Of Million-Do
Passenger Train

H. Gary, Ind, Aug. 2Isasofhcial in
vestigation Of the Million Dollar ex-
press wreck on e Michigan Central
railroad, in which two tralnmen
were killed and two injured, was
started today.
Officials of the road charged that
spikes were withdrawn from the
track for a distance of several hum
dred yards. John Katana of Gary
was arrested after he was alleged to
have remarked, "It's shame they
weren't all killed"
One thousand dollars reward was
offered by the road for the arrest
of persons responsible. Only eight
men were on the train, which was
composed of twenty-three cars OF
perishable freight and express. Every
car left the track.
Engineer E. Coy and Fireman E.
Lubbs, both of Niles, Michigan were
buried in the wreckage of the en-
CINE and it was hours before the
bodies were recovered.
The train was travelling sixty miles
an hour, when the engine jumped
the tracks and the cars piled up on
it. Thousands of persons walked
from Gary to see the wreck. Conduc-
tor Foot was veteran Of the Port
or. Ind, wreck in which forty were
killed.

AMERICA LOSES MONEY
BY IMMIGRATION CURB
tBy United Press)

Washington, August 21:-Rigidly
restrictive immigration LEGISLATION
enacted by congress in June, 1921
to dam the flood of foreigners surg
ing to American shores, cost the
state department over $5,O0O,O0O in
passport visa fees during the past
fiscal year and its position as the
only self-supporting department OF
the government, as well.
In the fiscal year 1920-1921, the
department collected over $1O,OO0,-
600 largely from $40 visa fees paid
by immigrants. This sum exceeded
by $1,270,198.76 the amount paid
out by the treasury to operate the
department and its activities. The
surplus was turned over to the treas
During the fiscal year just ended,
however, barely $5,OO0,000 was TAX
en- in by the department. The slump
is attributed to the immigration law
which cut immigration into America
in half and curtailed the lucrative
business conducted by American
consuls in foreign ports in visas. AS
a result, the department estimates
an excess of expenditures over re-
ceipts of $3,3O6,O25.07 for the year,
completely wiping out the profit
made last year.

Philadelphia, Aug. 21-Mith the
hard coal district up state preparing
for resumption of mining anthracite

meetings here today to outline Its
maximum concessions in the hope OF

Service Men
(By United Press)

Virginia, Aug. 21-Immediate aid
for 'long suffering victims of the
worlds war" was demanded by ex-
ecutives of the Minnesota American
Legion today.
Commander A. A, VanDyke de-
clared the lives of wounded veter-
ans are being sacrificed for political
purposes. He demanded slashing of
red tape ad starting a move to elm
mate red tape within his organiza-
ton. Elimination of needless COM
mlttees to make more concise and
workman state machinery was urged.
More than 1000 delegates were
on hand for the opening of the state
convention this morning. Special
trains brought hundreds last night
and hundreds more arrived today.
Three brass bands and the St. Paul
Drum and Bugle corps kept the
town awake until the wee hours Of
the morning.
The executive committee met Sun
day and framed a convention pro-
gram. The convention probably will i:
Demand immediate passage of the
soldiers adjusted compensation act.
Pass upon the advisability of a
state legion publication.
Adopt plans for the completion
of the hospital at Rochester opened
to every, service man in America.
Condemn the duplicate admins
tration of the United States veteran
bureau under General C. E. Sawyer.
Ask the governor to provide land
for disabled service men, not under
training to become farmers.
Hanford MacNider, national COM
mander Of the legion cancelled his
engagement for Wednesday even
ing saying he would not be able to
reach the convention.
Commander VanDyke said he will
ask the convention to recommend
that the government hospital to be
erected at St. Cloud have 500 beds
instead of $50 as planned,

SMITH-HUCHES COURSE
APPEALS TO FARMERS
Enrolment in City High School
Will Be Large, Advises
Instructor PAughoeft

The indications are that the en-
rollment in agriculture under the
Smith-Hughes act will be large for
the coming school year. This course
was introduced into the Bemidji high
school two years ago. The work that
has been offered has made it popular
with the farm boys. The department
has been working under handicap
thus far, but with the new building
and added equipment this will no
longer be the case.
Only farm boys, or those who ex-
pect to go to farming, are admitted
to the course. A large proportion of
the farm boys are unable to attend
school the entire nine months on &C
count of late fall and early spring
work. This course has been so ar
ranged that these boys may have an
opportunity to get more schooling in
their vocation during the winter
months. 1t is offered from a prac-
tical standpoint.
The aim of the course is what DR..
Frank Crane, in an editorial on "The
Education I Wish Might Have
Had" says: II wish my powers of
observation had been carefully drill
ed and developed and that l had had
someone to teach me the rudiments
of the sciences in the field and not
alone in books"
The course of study for the COM
ing year is as follows: Animal Hus-
bandry, Shop Work and Manual
Training, Farm Arithmetic, and Eng
lish.
The course is free. A small
charge for the use Of books may be
made. In order that high schools
may offer this work, the state and
federal government give financial aid
to the extent Of paying three-fourths
of the instructors salary and other
expenses of the department..
