to be an easy victim in the world

on the American League champion
ship have slipped down from 6 to 5
and some of the Giant supporters
are getting even money, Nothing in
particular has happened to hurt the
chances of the Yankees or, bolster the
Giants. The Giants are merely re-
fleeing the sentiment that no team
is worthy Of big odds in seven-game
series. ::a,l7erz%S: @ r>.s @s:-2-E,t Nj i

made that Babe Ruth will make one
homer in the series. With al of the

WANTED TO BEFlREMAN::.
THREATENS. TO. COLLECT

Carl Strohmeier, who hasbeen- en-
pIoyed as janitor at; the Lake Julia
Sanitarium, has resigned his position
and expects to return to Minneapolis
Carl came here several days ago
and states that he was to have a
position as fireman and objected to
doing ordinary janitor work. In his
German brogue he expressed himself
rather emphatically and his outbursts
were somewhat misunderstood. AS
a result, he got himself into no end
of trouble.
The impression he gave attendants
at the Sanitarium was that he was
coming to Bemidji and get his money
from A. P. Richie, president Of the
Sanitarium board, and intimated that
he might use gun if necessary.
Sheriff Andrew Johnson and Dep
uty George Shea we're at the post
office when Carl arrived and he was
taken over to. the court house before
Judge S. M. Koefod and examined
as to his sanity.
The doctors and the judge found
Carl entirely sane alright but con-
Guided that he talked too much for
his own good and told him so. Carl
was discharged and he declared that
he would write up the Sanitarium
and the board in Minneapolis dailies,
telling the world that it was an unfair
institution.

Is Prepared For Action
Despite Peace Meeting
REICHSTAC FACES COLD
AND: HUNGRY WORKERS
High Cost of Living and Other
Problems May Mean, End of
With Government
(By Carl D. Groat)

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Berlin, Oct, 3--Germany's etern-
al battle with Enthusiastically mounting
costs of living will occupy a generous
portion of the time of the Reichstag
fall session, starting today.
Coupled with the cost Of living
problem will be spirited discussion of
the governments foreign policy and
consideration of the reparations ques-
ton.
These two problems have touched
the daily life of every man, woman
and child in the most vital spots-the
pocketbook and the stomach,
In the first place,a series of laws
affecting the food supply Of the ma
ton are likely to be brought forth.
The labor unions, long seeking to
have a powerful voice in direction of
the nations affairs, are not satisfied
with measures already undertaken by
the government to alleviate the lot of
the poor.
As a result, it is expected that the
unionists will make their demands felt
through the Reichstag, especially with
the aid of the new United Social
Democrat party Of Germany--a COM
bination of the old Social Democrats
and Independent Socialists.
More specialization is being sought.
This applies particularly to the So
called key industries, such as coal
mining.
"a As the second great point of inter-
est in the nations 'ife to-day stands
the PREPARATIONS problem. There is q
great divergence of opinion rs to the
Wirth governmental policy. Wirth
has been the apostle of the so-called
"Erfuellungspolitik" (fulfillment pol
icy), but has shown in the past few
months that this is bankrupt pol
icy," and even he has abandoned or
modified the fulfillment idea.

This great educational factor in
agriculture has made two consecu-

this region the benefits of 16 years
continued success in showing the
American public the value of dairy
products and their effect ON the
health of the nation.
1t is improbable that the show will
soon return to the Northwest. Con-
sequently the farmer who has not
completed plans to attend, thinking
he will have another chance next
year, is likely to miss its money

fire PREVENTION WEEK
IS A NATIONAL AFFAIR
Efforts Being Made to Reduce
Tremendous Destruction
Throughout America

On October 8, fifty-one years ago
Mrs. OLeary of Chicago carclessly
left a lighted lantern in the barn
Her cow kicked it over, setting fire
to the barn and starting conflagra-
ton which swept the city.
The Chicago fire of 1871 caused
a greater Loss than any previous
fire in the history Of the United
States. 1t has only been surpassed
since by the San Francisco fire in
1906. Two numbered persons lost
their lives in the Chicago fire and
10000 (about one person in every
five of the population, were rendered
homeleBsy The flames ragged over
two thousand acres, destroying more
than 1900 buildings and entailing
a property loss of approximately one
third of the city's entire value, or
about $190,0O0,0O0.
The los in this great fire was APP
palling but our country suffers a
greater fire loss every year at the
present time. 1t is estimated that
last year the lives of more than Is,
600 persons were lost and property
valued at approximately one-half bill
lion dollars was destroyed by fires,
many of them preventable.
To reduce this tremendous annual
destruction it was decided eleven
wears ago to set aside day to be
known as National Fire Prevention
Day. October 8, the anniversary OF
the starting Of the Chicago conflagra-
ton. seemed to be a suitable date,
and BY proclamation of the President
OF the United States and many state
governors, it has been observed for
that purpose. ~
One day is such q limited time to
give to- the subject that a period Of
seven days, ending October 9, has
fbeen recently set aside as Fire Pre-
yention Week.
Nationwide attention is being
given this year to the observation OF
the week. Governmental and state
officials recognize the need and have
lent their assistance to make the fire
prevention movement successful.
Chambers of Commerce throughout
the country, at the request of the
Chamber Of Commerce of the United
States, are taking a leading part in
conducting special activities deslgna-
ted to acquaint every man, woman
and child with the necessity Of per-
sonal care t:;or the prevention of
fires.

Salvation Army Advisory. board is
to meet Wednesday afternoon at the
close of the regular session of the
Civic and Commerce association.
Col. William S. Barker, head of the
Northwestern division Of the Army,
will be present at this meeting: Col.
Barker is perhaps the best inter-
nationally known officenin the; Saliva.
ton Army, he having had under his
command all of the Salvation Army
workers overseas during the World
War. His headquarters at present
are in Minneapolis. -
At this meeting plans will be dis
cussed and formulated for. the annual
appeal for funds to be made in Be-
midi in the near future The bud
get will be drawn up and details
for the appeal will be. arranged
E. A. Barker is president of the
Advisory board, which consists of Is
Bemidji residents. Judge C.. W.
Stanton is the first vice-president;
C. W. Warfield, second vice-presi-
dent; w. l.. Brooks, treasurer; and
A. D. Johnson, secretary. Members
of the board include: J: L. Elwell,
H. z. Mitchell, T. C. Bailey, Rev. L..
P. Warford, J. C. West, F.. r. Dux-
bury, C. L. listed, Mrs. E. H. Mar
cum, Mrs. A. P. White and Mrs. F..
w. johnson. D., IL.
- The advisory board was responsi-
bic for the, we'll conducted and sue
cesful campaign for funds last Dec
ember. Hearty cooperation was Civ
,en by all organizations in, supplying
team workers and the response was
worthy the cause and the efforts
made. Publication will be. made Of
the social relief service of the. Sal
walton Army and its annual. financial
statement for last year.
The Salvation Army is not simply
an organization dispensing relief and
aid to those in temporal need. It
deals fundamentally with the moral
and spiritual 4uplift of the needy ones
to whom it graciously ministers with
comforts of clothes, fuel and food.
The kindly advice, the loving prayer
of blessings, brings a soul strength
ening for the battle of life to the
poor discouraged one. Often appar-
ent paupers are saved from the
cause of their, povery through the
Salvation -Army's success in helping
them mend the error Of their ways.

Washington, Oct. 3-The United
States government has, apparently
the sentiment of the American people
regarding the Near East situation and
will continue to express it by appro-
pirate action but will not be drawn
into Near East war.
This is clearly defined by the posi-
ton Of this government as set forth
by Secretary of State Hughes in: an
exchange of cablegrap.s. with Bishop
Cannon, who, on reaching Paris from
Constantinople, cabled the State
Department urging that the United
States use force if need be to. pre-
vent the killing of Near East Christ
ians Secretary Hughes reply. to
Bishop Cannon contained clear notice
that this government will refuse. to
be embroiled in the European quarrel
but will at the same time perform its
humanitarian duty as always.

A statewide moyemet to create
an active and immediate demand for
Minnesota potatoes promises mater
tally to help growers who find them
selves with a large surplus on hand
and a market so low that it hardly
pays for digging and hauling.
- Efforts to strengthen demand was
started in Crow Wing county. where
in cooperation with E. G. Roth,
county agent, people of Brainard and
vicinity, are being urged to "buy ten
bushels Of potatoes. The idea be-
hind the Brainerd effort is to absorb
the local surplus and at the same time
give the growers cash market.
'".If every family in the state with
even average facilities for storage
can be induced to put in their winters
supply now, growers would be mater
tally helped, says J. F. Reed, presi-
dent Of the Minnesota Farm Bureau
Federation. Presidents of the larger
cities, especially, should purchase
their winters supply at once and they
should demand Minnesota potatoes.
In these smaller towns, local markets
will be stenghthened, just as is being
done in Brainerd. u I'll
The State Departments Of Agri-
culture; Whlcn mas been especially
active in creating a better market,
