GRAY BUYS INTEREST
In NORTHERN BREAD CO.
Former Bakery Operator Here
Becomes Connected With
Local Institution

In business transaction consum-
mated this week, w. A. Gray, form
erly Of this city and we'll known
throughout the state as an expert
bakery man, acquired a half interest
in the Northern Bread company and
will now have complete charge of
the baking department of that in
stitution.
Mr. Gray at present also owns a
bakery in Cass Lake and he will
maintain his residence there during
the winter, but will probably move
his family to Benidji in the spring.
He will spend only part Of his time
at the Bemidji plant during the win
ter as he will also have the Cass
Lake plant under his supervision.
Mr.. Gray is well known to the
citizens Of Bemidji. He came to this
city in 1910 and established bakery
here. He was in business in this
city about II years and during that
time he established the reputation
of manufacturing an especially high
grade line of, bakery products. Gray's
Mothers Bread, one of his products
was one of the most popular brands
of bread ever placed on the market.
Mr.. .Gray's association with the
Northern Bread company will add to
the popularity Of the products by
that plant as Mr.. Gray is thoroughly
familiar with every phase of the
bakery business and his products are
known throughout the entire northern
part of the state. He is also fam
liar with the business and sales de-
partments of the institution and will
be a valuable asset to the Bemidji
Company in every way.

Highway Bulletin Publishes
Figures on Road Funds
And Their Uses
FIGURES ARE VERIFIED
BY OFFICIAL RECORDS
Report Shows How and By
Whom Auto and Road
Taxes are Handled

This is the story of Minnesota road
money-where it comes from and
how and by whom it is used, all
from official records this week in a
bulletin from the state highway de-
partmenH.
"Many inquiries indicating that
some tax payers have wrong ideas
that all roads are in charge Of and
all funds spent by the state highway
department and SO forth prompt the
statement of facts" says the bulle-
tin. "Minnesota's highway program
conceived and now building under
the Babcock plan, has been called
the states greatest single undertake
ing, and it must have active interest
and support of the people to insure
it's greatest success"
The bulletin gives first the various
revenues. It shows that about $780,
100000 year is being spent on So
called local roads by county, township,
city and village road officials. Also
that about $7,5O0,000 of auto taxes
and federal aid, or little more than
the total for local roads, is being
used by the state department on the
1000 miles Of main highway. Like
all other state funds, this money is
disbursed by the state auditor and
state treasurer and is not handled by
the highway department.
Tooo1 ,,o,J 10 If co,1rSo arc
used in the counties, townships, cities
and village making, the levies, and in
that respect dicer from the state aid
and motor vehicle tax, the bulletin
explains.
For example, Hennepin, Ramsey
and St. Louis counties are paying
about $6OO,OUO a year more state
aid taxes than they receive in the
division of the fund. They receive
in return less than 81 for every 81
paid in. They pay nearly 40 per
cent and get banck per cent, the
difference going to other counties for
their local roads.
Likewise, these three counties are
auto taxes-nearly IS per cent. Less
than 5 per cent of the 1000 miles
of trunk highways are within their
limits. Their auto taxes would COM
pletey pave their trunk routes IN
less than five years if the revenue
was So used, but it is not and other
counties gain accordingly.
Local road and bridge tax levles
were cut more than $1,2S9,OOO last
year, Immediately after the Babcock
plan relieved the counties of the
heavy cost of improving. and main
tanning the roads taken over by the
state. Other reductions are sure to
follow and at the same time the local
roads will be improved rapidly.

To Advertise Big Fake
Auto Tire Sale

Minneapolis, Oct. 25-Postal in
spectors today uncovered what they
said was one Of the biggest swindle
attempts ever made in this section of
the country.
People in rural communities have
been victimized to the extent of $685.
900 and more money is pouring in,
according to Postal Inspector Hug
Gahl.
Joseph Schivindenamm, IS is held
in the Minneapolis city jail awaiting
arrangement before United States
Commissioner Howard Abbott on a
charge of using the mails to defraud.
Postal inspectors said Schivinde-
namnl about three weeks ago, flood
ed the northwest with circulars ad-
vertising a bankrupt automobile tire
sale. Standard makes of tires were
offered for less than one-third of
wholesale prices under the name of
the Edlund Tire Company of Mimi
eapolis.
The flood of replies which began
arriving attracted the attention OF
Postal Inspector Hugdahl. He said
he found Schivindenamm seated at
a desk opening piles Of letters, but
there were no tires in sight. A
line of prospective purchasers were
outside. They wee put off with the
statement that the office was too busy
or the sale had not yet opened. Many
purchasers were said to have driven
in from surrounding territories.
Federal authorities are holding
about $4,000 in money orders and
checks and will attempt to restore
it. to the owners. More than $4,000
letters are also being held.

BIRCHM0NT MAY BUILD
SEVERAL NEW COTTAGES
Stockholders Reflect Board
of Directors; Officers are
Also Reelected

Stockholders of the Bemidji-
Birchmont Hotel company met in the
second annual session at the rooms
Of the Civic and Commerce associa-
tion Tueday evening, with the major
ity of the stock represented, either
personally or by proxy. An inter-
esting session was the result and it
is evident that a program of expan-

out before the next summer season
opens.
President F. S. Lycan gave de-
tailed financial statement of the COM
pany's operations during the past
year showing it's earnings and the
condition Of its assets. The past
season is considered very successful
and, in line with the report made
a year ago, recommendations were
made that the Accommodations be in
creased again for the coming year.
Mr.. .Lycan stated the most profitable
part of the business was that Of the
operation of the cottages, and it is
evident, that, in order to get the
maximum returns from the hotel, the
number of cottages will be increased.
Discussions of this topic was held
and a number of further improve
ments for the hotel proper were
mentioned. No definite action was
taken, however, and the matter will
probably be taken up nearer the OPP
ening of the season.
Directors for the ensuing year

Four Women Seeking Seats
In u. S. Senate; Includes
Anna Dickey Olesen
SEVEN SEEKING SEATS
IN THE LOWER HOUSE
South Dakota Woman After
Governorship, Supported
By Nonpartisans
(By United Press)

Washington, Oct. 25-More women
are seeking political offices this year
than ever before in the history of
the country according to information
compiled by women's organizations
here.
Twelve of the "fairer sex'' sue
cessfully weathered the primaries
and are seeking to defeat men for
their seats in the senate, the house or
or state governorhip. Scores of
others have stirred UP warm political
battles for men seeking minor offices.
The first woman to reach the SEN
ate is Mrs. FELTON, "the grand old
lady of Georgia" recently appointed
to succeed the late Senator Tom Wat
son until someone is elected next
month to fill out his term.
Four women are running for the
honor which Mrs. FELTON, received,
while seven are seeking house seats
and one wants to be governor.
The hopes of the women for sena-
toral seats rest largely with Mrs.
Anna Dickey Olesen of Minnesota
and Mrs. Ben Hooper of Wisconsin,
the only woman to receive the sena-
torial nominations of one Of the maj
or parties. Both are Democrats.
Senator La Follette's unusual strength
in his state as revealed in the pri-
mary, will make it extremely diff
cult for Mrs. Hooper to win, but Mrs.
Olesen is understood to be giving
Senator Kellogg race in Minnesota
that is "worthy of any man."
The Republicans have two women
seeking election to the house, while
the Democrats have three, and the
Prohibitionists and the Socialists one
each.
Miss Alice Robertson, the only
woman of the present congress wants
to be reelected, and came through
the primary in good shape. A list OF
major women candidates for high
Offices follows.
Pennsylvania: Rachel C. Robinson,
Prohibition party Of Williamsburg, IS
running for Senator knox's seat.
Minnesota: Anna Dickey Olesen,
Democrat, is running for the senator
shin against Senator Frank B. Kel-
logg.

kosh is running for senator against
Senator La Toilette.
