gan this series, The photograph
Of John Moberg appears in this
issue. Mr.. Moberg is not man
who would ordinarily be called
ladies' man, as was the case of
the preceding picture of this
series. Instead, Mr.. Moberg is
a self-made man, and he did a
good job of it. He is also a
family man, which cannot be
said about the master of the pre-
cedings photograph.
Mr.. Moberg is pioneer resi-
dent of Northern Minnesota,
and has been foremost in pro-
noting permanent industries in
this section. He came to Be-
midi 23 years ago from Wis

fed himself with the logging in
terests of this section. He is
one of, Bemidji's most progress

city property and being identi-
fed with many local enterprises.

FARMERS ARE URGED TO
WATCH FOR BLUE SKY
State Federation Urges County
Bureaus to Foil Worthless
Investment Schemes

Establishment of farmers "blue
sky committee by every county
Farm Bureau which has not already
formed such protective body will
be urged by the Minnesota Farm
Bureau Federation in an official
communication to county Farm
Bureau boards, according to infor-
nation received here.
A recent decision Of the state
supreme court, the warning will
say, has pulled the teeth out of the
state "bluc sky" law by cxcmpting
actual owners Of securities from
jurisdiction Of the state securities
commission, declaring that stocks
once sold can be sold again by the
purchaser without the commissions
approval and even in spite of its dis
approval.
In several Minnesota counties, the
Farm Bureau has maintained "bluc
sky committee composed of three
or four leading farmers. Farm Bur-
eau members have been urged to
decline to put any money securities
oil lands and leases, or similar pro-
motion schemes, until the salesman
had submitted his proposition to the
Farm Bureau "blue sky" committee.
Such committees have issued warn
ings to farmers against manifestly
unsound schemes, and in some cases
Farm Bureau officers say, have
blocked stock selling schemes in
counties where the farmers "blue

tiles offered were worthless.

Establishment Of new county
to be made up of the northerly por-
ton of Beltrami county is a subject
that has long been in the minds of
residents of the north end. This has
been discussed for number of
years, and the sentiment appears to
have been unanimous that from
geographical: standpoint the divis-
ion would come about some time.
Four years ago an enabling act was
passed by the legislature at the in
stance of. those interested. in the!
matter, and two years ago this act
was amended fixing the minimum
limit of assessed, valuation in q new,
county at two and half millions;
+ Nothing definite was done how
ever, and the subject does not APP
pear to have passed the "discussion, =,
stage until February Of this year,
the Baudette Chamber of Commerce
appointed a special committee and
appropriated a fund for the pur-'
pose of an investigation and the Sc
curing Of data upon which to- base
a conclusion AS to. the advisability,
of filing a petition and putting on,
a campaign. This committee spent
a number of weeks at the county
seat going over records in the var
ious county offices. The services Of
a competent technical man were Sc
cured and aslarge number of figures,
tabulated regarding the cost Of ops
Grating the different departments of
the present county. A thorough sur:
vey was made as to ditch liens and
Indebtedness as well as, & general
bonded indebtedness, value of coun-
ty property, salaries of officials,
deputies, clerks and employees,
probable cost of operating the. new,
county, and an estimate, based on.
carefully considered figures as to
the expense of conducting the bust,
ness Of Beltrami county after, div

SHIPPERS
WARNED BY DEPARTMENT
State Agricultural Department
Warns Against. Selling to
Unlicensed Buyers X

The Minnesota state department Of
Agriculture desires to call the at
tention Of potato growers and grow
ers Of other farm products to a
practice which is unfair and sub
stantiallys dishonest. ! s%s.E
:A In: previous years it has been a
common thing for men representing
themselves either under the name Of
some commission firm, usually from
out the state, or else operating di-
rectly in their own name to go out
among the farmers and enter into
contract for the. purchase and de-
livery. on track of potatoes or other
farm products of similar character.
The essential fact about this agree
ment is that it binds the grower to
deliver his produce to the buyer at
a certain fixed price, and this con-
tract, is against him enforceable.
Te buyer is similarly bound to. buy
at a certain fixed price, but when
market conditions :, bring the price
below that guaranteed in the con-
tract he fails to show up and the!
grower, is unable to recover; in some
cases delivery has been made on a
consignment basis, and the grower:
having lost possession of his crop
has extreme dill culty in recovering,
If nfact he gets any; return at ALL;
f. Growers are advised that such;
transactions are unbusiness like and,
undesirable unless the dealer making.
such a contract has an established
place of business within the. state, is
licensed as commission merchant
by the state, and is bonded to the
state, for the performance of his
contracts. Otherwise the grower has
no way to enforce the fulfillment Of;
the sales agreement. On the other;
hand the buyer can enforce such:
a contract whenever it is to his ad-..
vantage, to do 50. So far as the farm.
er is concerned a contract of this
sort amounts to a guarantee to de-;
liver whenever he will lose money;

action. State exactly in such request;

the agreement are, the name and

LOWER RAILROAD RATES 3.
WOULD HELP 'W0ODL0TS.
Minnesota Might Save Millions
on Fuel, Increase Farmers
Income, Says Forester
Farm Bureau News Service)

NfaIHl bureau NEWS OerVlcc)
Minnesota could conserve its for
ests properly, could keep inside its
borders millions 0 fdollars spent ev-
cry year for coal and for freight to
haul it many hundreds of miles, and
could add large sums to the income
of its farmers, if railroads would cut
rates on wood fuel enough to make
its use on large scale possible ac-
cording to William T. Cox, state for
ester.
'ln some Minnesota counties which
are considered fairly we'll settled"
Mr.. Cox said, "half the land is woods
and wooded pastures. There is no
reason for considering woodland as
waste land. 1t can and should be
made nearly as profitable as fields
in crop.
"Thc threatened fuel shortage, if
as bad as feared, may not be an I'M
mixed evil. 1t may direct attention
to the farm woodlot. A million
cords of wood are cut annually in
Minnesota, to be used mostly on
farms and in the smaller villages.
But several times this amount should
be cut every year to improve the
farm woodlots by taking out the
dead, dying and inferior trees. There
is enough dead timber alone on farms
between the Twin Cities and Iowa to
go long way toward heating our
homes and places of business for
year.
"The railroads of this state prob
ably could reduce their rates on fuel
wood considerably and make more
money hauling wood than coal"
