LOCAL APPLE MARKET -
TAKES HEALTHY DROP

Although the apple market Of
Bemidji still keeps steady, the local
market took a drop of so cents per
box due to the arrival of a number
of cars of apples shipped in by a
local merchant and Bemidji can now
look forward to happy healthy lot
of people hereabouts, because can ap-
pie day keeps the doctor away" and
the competition has seen to it that the
price Of apples put them within the
reach Of everyone.
, Nearly every, variety Of apples
grown may be found here in the
local stores this season, even New
York apples which were not obtain
2ble other seasons due to the prokib-
tive prices, are on sale, although
western apples are shown in greater
variety and are also cheaper.
Very few housewives realize that
they have put up their winter fruit
this year at the same price as is
paid in the location where the fruit
is grown When peaches were in
abundance the local merchants were
Selling them at prices quoted in The
state of Washington, which means
that they were supplied here without
profit to those who handled them.
Now comes a heavy crop of hardy
winter apples and local users may
benefit as we'll as those who live in
an orchard country.

CHILDREN OF YE0MEN
ENJOY fine MEETING

The children of the Yeomen had
a very pleasant time last evening at
their annual meeting with the lodge.
A. D. johnson, Honorable Foreman,
said few informal words and then
turned the meeting over to Mrs. Good
rich and her committee who had been
to considerable work in preparing and
trimming the hall in halloween colors
Halloween games were played for
time. Then Milton WEIGH, assisted
>by Misses El1ora Olson and Bella
Anderson, put on an impromptu
",Hospital scene' stunt with the
kiddies, and to "cure" them, an as
sortment of souvenirs was prescribed
by the doctor" and administered by
the two fair "nurses"..
Following this, ice cream and
waters were served to all present,
who dispersed to their homes at an
early hour. The next regular meet
ing of the Yeomen Homestead will
be held next Thursday November 2,
on account of the change in dates at
the last meeting.

Legion Boys Are Game
Again, But This Time
It's A Big Game Feed
STRONG FOOTBALL GAMES
ON SATURDAY SCHEDULE
In Western Conference Are
Minnesota-Ohio State,
Michigan-Illinois
(By Henry L. Farrell)

(Unlted ffeSS SpOrtS EdltOr)
New York, Oct. 27-Under the
tents over the national gridiron, the
first real big football show of the
season will be staged tomorrow.
With the expectation of the Yale
Harvard game and the ArmyNavy
battle, the two biggest spectacles of
the season will be staged at New
Haven and Philadelphia.
The Army team, with all the cadets
from West Point will journey to the
Yale Bowl to See the Soldier engage
the Bulldog. The Cadet corps will
march and do all the picturesque
roofing that only the service acad-
emies arc capable of in the east.
This is the first year that the sail
ors have been allowed to leave their
academy for more than one game.
Princeton goes out to Chicago in
attempt to avcnge the 8 to 0 defeat
the western team handed the Tigers
last fall. With only a shell of what
used to represent Princeton, the Mas
sau eleven has tough proposition
on its lands. Because of its inter-
sectional appeal, this game perhaps
is the biggest feature of the day. If
Chicago should win from Princeton,
it would add to Iowa's defeat Of
Yale in making the western Confer
cnce the cock of the 1922 walk.
When the Georgia Tech-Notre
Dame game was scheduled for At
lanta last winter it looked like the
fanciest intcrsectional game of the
1922 season. 1t is still good num-
Der but the cyclone that hit Notre
Dame, when about half of the team
went skylarking last fall, robbed the
Hoosiers Of what promised to be the
finest team of this year.
Rockne has done we'll this year
with what he had at hand and it
should be fine game.
Dartmouth returns to the Har-
ward schedule this year after being
missing for several years. Dart
mouth teams always are hard to beat.
From a pure football standpoint, it
is one of the most attractive games
Of the day.
Penn state, crippled by graduation
and "desertion" is not the flash that
swo>7ed across the easter gridiron
last fall. AS long as Hugo Bezdek
is coaching, Penn State will have a
good team and the game with SYRIA
cuse is also one Of the days features.
In Western Conference the big
battle of the day will be staged be-
tween Ohio State and Minnesota and
Michigan and Illinois.

Wednesday and Thursday Set
For Raising $1,000 for
Corps in Bemidji
REASONS FOR APPEAL
ARE WITHOUT NUMBER
Local Budget Intended to Pay
All Outstanding Items
Of Local Corps

Wednesday and Thursday, Nov. l
and 2, have been set as the days
for the Salvation Army appeal in
Bemidji for funds amounting to
$4,000 to maintain the Bemidji corps
during the ensuing year. In view
of the fact that it is very necessary
to raise this amount of money it is
considered quite appropriate that
prospective subscribers to the fund
be given at least a partial account of
the work being done by the Salvation
Army in Bemidji. Reasons for the
appeal are cited in this article. Others
will follow before the appeal is made.
At the close of the World War the
Salvation Army was one of the sew
en- organizations to benefit from the
last great drive. The fund received
then eased the hobble of debt that
had always been a part of the Sal
walton Army and made possible a
budget system-arranged for annual
contribution.
Because of the gratitude and love
of an understanding public since
the war Service of the Army reveal
ed its wonderful methods and re-
suits of service, the annual financial
Appeals have become custom thro
spontaneous and generous movement
of local boards and committees all
over this country.
Business men and men of large af-
fairs, who know of the Salvation
Army services in places where they

With the largest attendance of

rooms, Thursday night, interest in
Armiseice Day and all other occa-

fridge in the foreground and all the
trimmings in sight, was served at

Der of vocal solos in his usual pleas
ing way. Rev. William Elliott al
though little "hoarse", favored the
audience with few stories of spec
ial interest. Several numbers listed
on the program failed to mature, but
nevertheless the entertainment hour
provided a general get-together.
The regular business meeting was
called to order by Commander Don
Whitman shortly after 8 o'clock and
reports of the various subcommittee
chairmen for Armistice Day were
heard, each report showing progress
toward one of the best programs
ever arranged for the observance Of

for a speaker and capable one is

here on that occasion, will be unable
to attend and as result another
speaker is to be secured.
The main feature of the after

teams which assure one of the best
games of the entire local season.

MRS: GIBSON TO

Prosecutor Hopes to. Gain
Evidence Sufficient TO
Arrest Woman Named
(By Joe P. Overflow

New Brunswick, N. j., Oct 81
Characters in the Hall-Mills murder
drama, who have been accused by
Mrs. James Gibson in an affidavit,
will be brought before the new pro-
secutor today for questioning.
A man, who is now believed TO
have been an unwilling eyewitness
to the killing of DR.. Hall and Mrs.
Mills, was to be- brought first by
Deputy Attorney General Mott and
his assistants. 49,
From a statement of his plan, the
prosecutor hoped to learn whether
he had sufficient evidence to warrant
the arrest of the woman named by
Mrs. Gibson as participant in the
Staying.
'No one has been eliminated" was
the announcement by the authorities
on the eve Of the examination Of the
families and intimate acquaintance
of the two victims, Prosecutor Mott
announced he will follow plan OF
obtaining sufficient evidence, If pos

He said he could arrest a woman
in the case at the present moment
if he desired. The whole affair ap-
pears to hinge on the accuracy OF
Mrs. Gibson's statements. -.
An example of the character OF
comment passed upon the text OF
this statement was furnished today
when Mrs. Gibson denied emphatic:
ally she had given the mans first
name which has been freely men
toned since her part of the story
became known. She is supposed to
have said she heard the woman crying
out "Oh-'' and then a mans
name.
The name was we'll known as that
of a possible suspect in the case and
SO was made public. Mrs. Gibson
now says she didn't hear either wo,
man at the murder scene mention the
name.

Conditions in the Orient today are
better than they have been at any
time since 1920. Japan is steadily
pulling herself out of the slough of
economic despond into which she fell
in May, 1920. Business in China is
getting better and the recovery will
be aided as the foreign demand for
that country's product improves and
the strain. on Chinese purchasing
power, due to the unusual drain of
invisible exports experienced during
1921, is relaxed. British Indian
trade has returned to it's normal fav-

shown its effects in the increased
demands for piece goods.
Business is picking up in Western
Europe at a rate that is varying in
