3. A. c. CLUB HOLDS VERY
ENJOYABLE SOCIAL MEETING

Last evening the B. A. c. club
met in social session in the basement
Of the Presbyterian church, and the
evening proved a most enjoyable one
The lawyers, Edward Gennes and
George Kirk for the defense; and
Bertram Wilson and Gordon Smith
for the prosecution, argued most elo-
quently and effectively and showed
much legal promise. The sheriff,
Winfield Horns, and the clerE Of the
court, Norman French, acted their
parts like veterans. The penalty
looked good to the jurors, which was
a round Of apples for the next meet
ing Of the club. OF course the. pras-
oner- was found guilty. Henry A.
Pflughoeft acted as Judge and his
decisions We're all unquestioned. Al
ter the trial; refreshments were
served in the usual B. A. C. manner
and the quality was fine. At the
meeting next Wednesday night, cleo
ton of officers will take place, and
every member is urged to be present.

FEDERAL LAND BANKS
NOT MEETING DEMAND
Fail to Care for Farmers,
Says Christianson, Father
Of Amendment No. l

Voters, of Minnesota need have
no fear that passage of Amendment
No. 1 will duplicate the machinery of
the Federal Land Banks, according to
Theodore Christianson Of Dawson,
father of the law under which the
amendment is submitted.
Mr.. Christianson urged unanimous
support of the amendment, pointing
out that the only obstacle in the
path to passage is the indifference
on the part Of voters in cities and in
towns.
"A state system is needed to sup
plement the federal agency" Mr..
Christianson says in statement
made public this week because
"1st-The federal land banks have
failed utterly to take care Of the
farm loan business of the country
and will continue to fail, unless they
are prodded into greater activity than
has been manifest in the past
"2nd-They have placed arbitrary
| Limitations on the number of applica-
tions they would receive from each
association and have placed impedi-
ments in the way Of forming new as
sociations.
"3-They have neglected to main
tain clerical force adequate to care
promptly for the business offered.
"4th-They have been guilty of
linexcusable delays--from three to
| six months-in completing loans.
"5th-They have pleaded lack of
funds and at the same time, they
have declined to sell bonds to invest
ors who demanded them.
"6th-They are organized on a
foreign and un-American plan which
requires the formation of local as
sociations, a plan uradaptable to and
distasteful to the American farmer,
who is first Of all an individualist
and who refuses to- underwrlte the
obligations of his. neighbor and who
would rather go without relief than
get it by entangling his own affairs
with those of his neghbors.
I Voters are urged to remember that
blank amendment ballots count
against the proposal"

Agricultural Committee of
Association Authorized
To Consider Project
INTERESTING SPEAKERS
HEARD ON FARM TOPICS
Potato Growing and Dairy
Breeding are Important
Subjects Touched Upon

A Beltrami County Dairy Council
is to be formed if plans of Gust
Svanberg, president y the Gucrnsfy v
Breeders association and the Agri-
cultural committee of the Civic and
Commerce association, materializc.
As Result of an enthusiastic and
instructive talk on the part of Mr..
Svanberg, the association referred the
above suggestion to the agrcuAura:
committee with instructions to act.
Mr. Svanberg pointed out the need
of such an organization in this county
and expressed the belief that it
would help the pure-bred cattle rails
ing business and enable every farmer
to meet his bills, if he went into the
dairy business.
Otto l. Bergh, superintendent Of
Grand Rapids Experimental Station,
gave short talk on the potato grow
ing in this section. In his talk Mr..
Berg pointed out the great advantage
of the liberal use of fertilizer and
illustrated with the following compar-
isons.
He said, "On sand loan soil, such
as you have here, you can grow 20
bushels of saleable potatoes on one
acre. By using five tons of manure
the same acres will grow 96 bushels;
by using ten tons it will grow 1853
bushels and by spreading twenty tons
it will grow 2O3 bushels of saleable
pototoes.
"More net profits are derived from
one acre, where 20 tons of manure
are used, than from. 10 acres where
no manure is used"
r. P. Roethle of the South St. Paul
central Cooperative Commission
association spoke briefly on the work
his organization is doing in connec-
ton with the cattle business.
Bueford M. Gile was requested to
itroduce members of the Guernsey
Breeders ASSOCIATION, who were guests
of the local association and he did
it in a most fitting manner. He first
called upo Mr.. Svanberg, president
of the Guernsey Breeders associa-
ton, who responded with a fine talk.
He then called upon other men,
bers some of whom spoke briefly.
Among the speakers were A. E. Wit
ting of Blackduck, C. L. Odell of
Turtle River, Theodore Gerlinger of
Turtle River and Otto Niemeyer of
Hines.
w. L. Brooks pointed out the CO.
operation being given farmers by the
banks of Benidji and declared that
the banks were pleased to continue
this cooperation in order that the
Diary business might properly be de-
veloped.
The matter of securing additional
property for the cemetery was laid
before the members by j. P. Lahr,
who stated that the cemetery board
desired the opinion Of the citizens
as to whether the association should
buy adjoining land east Of the present
site or Secure land further out. The
matter was left open to be reported
upon at later meeting.

SALVATION ARMY DRIVE
NEEDS HEARTY RESPONSE

Only $1,250 has been subscribed
to the Salvation Army annual fund
at this time. The amount needed is
urgently requested, this amount be-
ing $4,000. Later appeals will only
be confusing and the tambourine so
licitations are undesirable.
Inasmuch as a. nice, new building
is being erected in which the work
of the Army may be carried forward
and in face of the fact that needs
of the Salvation Army's services
have never been greater than at the
present time, it seems matter OF
civic pride to provide maintenance
for that unselfish service that reach
es all, regardless Of color, creed or
condition.

Bismarck, N. d., Nov. Political
prognosticators thus far have been

about the possibilities Of next weeks
elections. E
+ The upheaval of last June when
Senator Porter J. McCumber, who
held Washington post for rs years

spective of the situation. Forces
that we're expected to be joined in the
major campaign have apparently fall
ed to fuse to the satisfaction of fact
ional leaders.
If the election goes according to
precedent, the unexpected victory Of
Frazier in the primary should carry
him into the senate seat, giving the
National Nonpartisan league both
senatorial offices from North Dakota.
Senator E. F. Ladd was elected two
years ago. Apparently in spirit

Independent Republican forces have
endorsed O'Connor-upsetting polit-
ical precedent.
Unless the "dope bucket" is again
upset, it is more or less general

SUITINC THE FURNACE
TO THE COAL new FAD
Heating Experts of Department
of Agriculture Give Aid
on Fire Problem

"Don't Send Me Bituminous Coal
When Its Anthracite I Need" This
is the song of quite a few house
holders these chilly days while others
wonder how they will keep the home
fires burning with the unfamiliar fuels
they have been able to obtain.
A ray of brightness on the fire
problem is to be found in the state
ments of heating experts of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture.
They make the definite statement
that bituminous coal or coke can be
burned satisfactorily in stoves and
|heaters designed for anthracite and
that small sizes Of anthracite such
as buckwheat, pea and chestnut can
be used, particularly in conjunction
with larger sizes.
Here are some hints on the use OF
bituminous coal: s
Go over the fire pot smoke pipe,
and such parts and seal all possible
smoke leaks. Furnace cement for the
fire pot can be obtained from a hard
ware dealer. .1 ...<
Clean all smoke passages as a
greater volume Of smoke must be
disposed of. The chimney, can be
cleaned by drawing down weighted
sack Of straw. .. -. !
Apply fuel to the fire in small
quantities so that the smoke and gas
will be carried off through the CHM
ney and not forced out into the
house. T :
Do not smother the fire by spread
ing fresh fuel over the entire surface
of the fire. If you do you will lower
the temperature Of the fire and may
cause an accumulation Of gas and
mild explosion when air is admit
ted by opening the feed door.
After the fuel has been burning for
a. time most of the gas will have
driven off and the partly burned coal
can be worked to one side and fresh
fuel added. ~-L

FARMER LABOR RALLY

Paul ]. Smith and E. G. Hall
Address Audience on

a fair-sized crowd at the Farmer

Mr.. Smith the principal speaker
Of the evening, spoke largely on nat
ional affairs relating to the working
classes, encouraging the united sup
port of labor for those candidates
for office who are most likely to do
the most good for labor. He is
very capable speaker and well-vers-
ed on national topics relating to lab
or and working conditions, also on
legislation and proposed legislation
tending to better conditions for the
laboring classes.
The opinion that the United States
senatorial fight in Minnesota rests
between Henrik Shipstead, Farmer
Labor candidate, and Frank b. Kel-
logg, Republican incumbent, was
borne out by the fact that neither
of the speakers even referred to Mrs
Anna Dickey Olesen, the remarks
bcig confined to Shipstead and Kel.

Mr.. Hall spoke largely on state
affairs showing the relation between
political affairs and the labor con-
ditions Of the present time. Mr..
Hall preceded Mr.. Smith on the pro-
gram, both speakers being introduc-
ed by Otto Morken, chairman of the
local "Shipstead For Senator Club. "
Both Mr.. Hall and Mr.. Smith have
been touring the state the past month
in the interests of Shipstead for Sen
ator. Efforts were made to bring
