JOHN SIM0NS CREDITED
With CARLETON DEFEAT

Friends of John Simons, a Bemid-
il student at the Hamline University,
who have not already learned the
fact will undoubtedly be pleased to
learn that he played left halfback in
in the Hamline football team that de-
feated Carleton college to 6 on
Hamline's Homecoming Day in St.
Paul, Saturday, November II. Word
from that college states that Simons
is one of the best half-backs in the
midwest college conference and a
great deal Of credit for Saturdays
victory over Carleton is due to
Simons' brand of football playing.
It was Simons who blocked Carle-
toms punt and saved the game for
Eamline. Simons will play one more
game for Hamline this year against
Lawrence College, Appleton, Wise.
A. victory over Lawrence will mean
that Hamline is the champion of the
Little Eight football conference.
Saturday was a Red-letter day for
Hamline and so Of her graduates in
the classes prior to 1905 were award
ed athletic "H's'' at the Homecoming
exercises. Among these so were
some very prominent business and
judicial men. The new Norton Ath-
letic Field was dedicated between
halves Of the game.

ISSUE FEWER LICENSES
ON BIG GAME THIS YEAR

With the season already more than
half over, the number of big game
licenses issued by the Beltrami coun-
ty auditors Office this year is ap-
proximatcly 200 below the number
issued year ago, which apparently
means that the woods are not so
full of hunters as usual, although the
number Of accidents already reported
tends to disagree with this assump-
ton.
The total of big game licenses is
sued to date in this county is $50,
and it is not expected that many
more will be issued before the close
Of tie season on November 20.
That there are still deer in this
meek Of the woods" is evidenced by
the far that the mighty hunters are
cturltrg daily with their seasons
.,,.;ts, one male, antlered, moose or
one deer. The big game season has
attracted hunters from every section
Of the state to the north woods.

Is BEING REFRIGERATED

The Brinknans have taken charge
of the Grand theatre building and
will operate the Brinkman hotel,
which comprises the two floors in
that three story block, until recently
known as the jefferson Hotel.
The entire quarters have been
thoroughly renovated and redecor-
ated and every one of the forty
rooms is b ing equipped with new

The Brinkman block was built in
1905 and was considered one of the
most modern structures in the coun-
try at that time. When contractors
have completed the work, the build
ing will again take its place as
popular hostelry.

BOOKS FOR CHILDREN

Giving of Suitable Books Tc
Children at Christmas
Heartily Encouraged

Childern's Book Week, now be-
ing observed, has become the occas-
ion when all who are deeply interest,"
ed in children's reading join in put
ting this vital subject dramatically
before the public. The boy or girl
in the average classroom has just
as good a chance if the habit of
reading is developed side by side
with the ability to read. Perhaps,
the child's own tastes and interests
will carry him farther if given free
rein among open Shelves than he
would go under individual instruct
ion or guidance.
Each, year brings probably mil
lion and a half children to the read
ing age and there will be finer, ADLER,
sweeter lives if the reading of books
plays it's part. AS yet, books have
only begun to teach these boys and
girls, but the interest is growing, the
opportunities are increasing and the
Children's Book Week for 1922 will
move the book forward to more lives
and more homes. -
Herewith is a list of books suit
able for children of all ages. Those
interested in any way are urged to
make it a point to give one of these
or some other suitable book, for the
list does not by any means contain
the names of all the best books, as
Christmas gift to the boy or girl
whom they love. l.

State Highway Department
Recommends Ways For
-. Financing Program
NEW LEGISLATION WILL
CONTROL ROAD PROGRESS
Important Proposals Made
Relative to Program for
Coming Two Years

Bonds to help Minnesota to go on
with it's highway program, keeping
pace with other good roads states,
Automobile tax revisions and other
changes in existing laws are to be
recommended to the legislature of
1923 by the state highway depart
ment, Commissioner Charles M. Bah
cock announced this week.
First, the department proposes that
the reimbursement bond law be put in
effect again for the benefit of coun-
ties which did not act under it's pro-
visions. The law was originated in
the 1919 Legislature to prevent pos
scible neglect of proposed trunk
highways in anticipation of the pas
sage of Good Roads Amendment No.
l. It authorized counties under
certain conditions to- sell up to $3.50,
900 each Of bonds for use on their
respective portion of the proposed
trunk routes, implying that interest
and principal would be paid from the
trunk highway fund when created.
Many counties sold bonds in different
amounts under this new law, it is
explained, and gained leads over
others. The highway department
proposes to even up the program by
giving all counties like opportuni-
ties, although the new bonds to be
sold will depend upon the votes OF
county commissioners as before.
- Many other states now joining in
the better roads movement with lib
eral funds available, highway officials
assert, Minneotsa must speed up It's
program to retain it's present reputa-
ton as a leader and profit by the
most direct returns. To that end,
the first issues of the state highway
trunk bonds of $1,OO0,O00 for 1923
and 1924, as provided under Amend
ment No. 1, are to be recommended
to the legislature. Besides extensive
grading and gravelling improvements
this will insure some paving on heavy
traffic sections where the cost OF
maintaining the even unsatisfactory
gravel surfacing is more than would
be the cost of paving, bond interest
included.
Changes of motor vehicles taxes,
without reduction Of the aggregate
revenue from this source, will be
supported by the highway department
It will lbe maintained that the aver
age automobile and truck owners al
ready save on car expense, gasoline
and tires. While the scheme under
which the old cars are taxed higher
than he new fthe same make and
models, the officials said, big de-
clines in car prices must be consid-
cred in fixing new rates. Any other
action would seriously cripple the

There will be 615 seats in the new
Commons This is So less than in
the old parliment, due to the termi-
nation OF the south of Ireland rep
resentation following the establish
ment of the Irish Free State. The
protestant north of Ireland, however,
will still be represented in the COM
mons because the Ulstermen have

F.E. FINN KNOCKED DOWN
AND SERIOUSLY INJURED
Struck by Auto Near Nymore
Crossing and Found Later
BY Passing Auto Bus

F. E. Finn, brakeman on the Mimi
esota & International local, met with
a very serious. accident Tuesday ev-
ening about $50 and as a result is
confined to the Bemidji Lutheran
hospital in very serious condition.
He was returning home from his
work at the time of the accident. At
the Nymore crossing he tried to
catch ride on passing auto truck,
but slipped in some way and was
struck by another auto which was
approaching from his rear.
He was left lying in an uncon-
scious condition about 20 feet from
the railroad tracks, on the pavement.
He was discovered in this condition
when the headlights from one of the
passing auto buses were turned on
him. The auto bus stopped and
picked up the injured man, rushing
him to medical assistance, where he
received temporary aid. He was then
taken to the hospital.
The attending physician states
that there is possible fracture at
the base Of the skull. His condition
is very serious, although it was be-
lieved that he showed a slight i'm
provement this morning.
As far as is known, the name of
the party driving the automobile
which knocked Mr.. Finn down has
not been ascertained, it being ap-
parent that he did not even hesitate
after injuring the man. Mr.. Finn
is said to have a fair chance for re-
cOvery. .-

WAR ON GRAIN RUST IS
NOW PRODUCING RESULTS
Second Annual Conference of
Forces Fighting Burberry
Held in St. Paul
(Farm Bureau News Scryicc)

Abundant proof that barberry
eradication in the wheat growing
areas of United States already is
producing desired results and that
the campaign, now well established
if continued will do away entirely
with the pest was presented at the
second annual meeting of the Con-
ference for the Prevention Of Grain
Rust, held in St. Paul, Tuesday.
On the program was DR.. E. C.
Stackman, scientist, who has just re-
turned from Europe where he spent
five months investigating barberry
eradication in Denmark, Holland,
Belgium, France, Germany and Eng
land. He found, he told the confer
ence, that rust now is unknown, in
Denmark and England because there
are no barberry bushes and eradica-
ton work is we'll under way in the
other countries visited.
'Results obtained in Europe" he
said, "prove conclusively that we in
this country are on the right track. "
Mr.. Stackman, who accepts nothing
as a fact until it is proved to him
is more enthusiastic than ever over
barberry eradication.
A feature Of the meeting was a
first showing of a new motion picture
prepared by the Conference, giving
microscopic view of the stem rust
germ on the barberry bushes and
showing how its presence is neces-
sary for the germs to complete their
life circle. 1t also illustrated barber
ry eradication work and steps that
are being taken to develop a rust
resistant wheat. j. +. Reed, president
of the Minnesota Farm Bureau Fed
GRAFTON is shown digging a barbcrry
bush at Spring Valley in Fillmore
county.
This motion picture soon will be
available for use of farm clubs, fam
bureau unit meetings and ot.':~r
farmer gatherings that have fac.li-
ties for showing pictures.

EXPERTS FROM THIRTEEN
STATES DISCUSS RELIEF
Recommend Three Different
Courses to Aid Farmers
!, of the Middle West

St. Paul, Nov. 15-Experts from
IS states joined today in plans to
bring relief to the farmers of the
middle west. Three different cours-
es were reco commended.
Proportionment Of the acreage of
various crops.
Diversification and STANDARDIZED
ton of crops and produce.
Elimination of black rust.
The allotment of grain acreage was
proposed by W.. J. Stillman, consult
ing expert, Department of Agricul-
ture. Farmers can accomplish more
toward fair prices by diversifying
farming and standardizing the pro-
duce, than by attempting to control
markets, DR.. Stillman said. Dfversi-
fication of crops, he said, must re-
cognize economic force which con-
trolls supply and demand.
The recommendations We're made
by DR.. Stillman following intensive
study of the farm program in the
northwest. He outlined them last
night to large group of business
men in Minneapolis at the opening
of a campaign for education for
farmers of the middle west -.

session at the University Farm on
the probability of combating grain

With Government
Resigns After 10
Months In Office
NEW BRAZIL PRESIDENT
ROSE FROM CLERKSHlP
DR.. Arthur Bernardes Takes
Office as President of
Republic Today
By Miles W. Vaughn

Omitted Press. Staff Correspondent
Rio De Janerio, Nov. 15-From a
clerk in general country store to
President of Brazil-that is the breif
history of DR.. Arthur Bernardes,
who assumed the presidency of the
republic today.
Bernardes is a real self-made man.
Born in the township of Vicosa, state
Of Mina2 Gernaes, August s, 1875,
he left school when ID years old to
sell beans and rice in the general
store of his home town.
A few years later the clerk was
manager and still looking for new
fields. His next job was bookkeep-
ing for .Adriano Telles and Com
rany in the town Of Rio Branco.
With the savings from his work
Bernardes moved to Ouro Preto and
began the study Of law, supporting
himself by reading proof on the
town newspapers. A year later he
went to the town of Sac Paulo, en-
tering the public examinations for
the chair of Portuguese and Latin in
the Institute Of Science and Letters.
The life of professor, however,
did not appeal to the ex-grocery clerk
and upon completion of his law
course, he returned to Vicosa, open
ing law office. In 1901, Bernardes
married the daughter of a famous
local politician, Senator Vaziquello.
The real entry into politics was in
1904 when Bernardes became presi-
dent of the municipal council of
Ficosa, holding down the job so well
that he was elected to the state leg
islature. In the legislature the

Official election returns Of Bel

by the county canvassing board this
week and the results are now made
public upon completion of the ted

proportionate majorities are noted,
especially as relates to county divi-

of 507, much larger maj ority than
was indicated by the incomplete, I'M

That an exceptionally large vote

denced. by the fact that the vote on
county division shows one of the
largest votes ever polled in Beltrami
county. 1t is believed that this pro-
ject alone brought out many voters
who otherwise might have remained
away from the polls. This is said
to be especially true of the north end
vote, where the division project was
in many instances favored almost
unanimously.

German Leaders Are Seeking
Combination of Groups
To Produce Premier
SOCIALISTS REFUSAL
CAUSE OF DOWNFALL
Situation Abroad is Being
Watched Closely by the
u. S. Government
(By United Press)
(By Carl D. Groat)

Berlin, Nov. 15-German leaders
today sought a combination Of polit-
ica1 groups sufficiently able to pro-
duce premier. The Wirth govern
ment resigned last night after nine
teen stormy months in office.
Refusal of the United Socialists to
join the Coalition, which included
the German Peoples party which is
backed by Hugo SHINES and other
conservative elements, was the i'm
mediate cause of Wirth's downfall.
Without the Socialists, he had not
a sufficient majority to carry on in
the face of adverse financial condi-
lions and the PREPARATION tangle.

Washington, Nov. 15-Germany,
as the result of the downfall of the
With cabinet, is now tempted to try
Bolshcvism or return to the mon
archial form of government, is the
belief in diplomatic circles here.
Germany's crisis greatly increases
the fears of statesmen regarding the
general European situation, now be-
llcved by some to be nearing the
final crash.
The American government, it can
be stated, is following closely the
events in Europe and especially in
Germany.
What. if anything, can be done
by the United States ia save the situa-
ton abroad is now one, of the big
gest questions before this govern
ment.
