STRONG ARTESlAN WELL,
PUTS PUMP IN Dis CARD

In drilling for q we'll to supply
Ia number Of cottages which George
Cochran plans to erect q short dis
'tance ,seast of the Birchmont hotel,
'A. j. Ross, we'll digger, struck a
FLOWING we'll which outranks any pre-
,vious wells found there. The new
well has such force that the flow rises
about foot above the standing pipe
lYwhichis several feet above the ground
The well is at a depth Of 70 feet
and flows at the rate of barrel q
minute. Mr.. Cochran had already
purchased motor and pressure tank
and was having the well drilled to
complete the system. Now it is be-
lieved that the pumping system will
not be needed, since the flow is
strong enough without being forced
through the system by other means
than an artesian well. The water
from this we'll is reported to be too
cold to keep the hands in it for any
length of time. Birchmont hotel is
supplied by series of artesian wells
close by the hotel, all of which are
considered very good, but this one
is said to beat all of the others.

Six persons who had previously
been examined at a similar clinic
were examined again Wednesday and
it was found that their cases had been
arrested. Seven were found to have
active symptoms and sanitorium
treatment was advised. Nineteen
were found to be normal. Sixteen
were found to have trouble with
glands and defective teeth and were
advised to have these attended to-.
Four others were asked to report

Eighth Grade Graduates Of
Ungraded Schools are to
Receive Diplomas
SANBERG OF CROOKsTON
WILL DELIVER ADDRESS
Exercises to be Held Here at
Methodist Church Friday
Forenoon at II o'clock :,

Eighth grade graduation exercises
for the ungraded elementary schools
of Beltrami county will be held to-
morrow at II o'clock in the forenoon
at the Methodist church in this city.
G. H. Sandberg, superintendent of
schools at Crookston, will give the
graduation address.
j. c. McGee, county superintendent
of schools of Bcltrami county has
asked that as many as possible of
the 93 who have finished the eighth
grade this year in the ungraded ell
cmentary schools Of the county be
present at the exercises. All friends
of education are invited to be pres
cnt.
The following program will be
given: piano solo, Miss Ragnhild Moe,
vocal solo. Harold Searles, Address,
Supt. G. II. Sandberg, vocal solo,
Harold Searls, presentation of diplo-
mas, j. c. McGhec.
On account of tho Size of the
county and the distance to be travel
cd, it is impossible for the majority
of the graduates to be present, but
it is thought that at least one-third
of them will attend. Diplomas will
be given to those who have received
certificates from the State Depart
ment of Education by passing the
High School Board examination in
arithmetic, Grammar and composition,
Geography, History and Spelling.
Considerable pressure has been
brought upon him to have Supt Me-
Ghee lower this standard that there
might be IA larger graduating class,
He believes that this high standard
sends a better qualified class Of
Students to the high schools and
holds number of pupils in the
grades who would quit as soon as the
diploma is received.
Without lowering the standard, the
number of graduates has yearly been
increased during Supt. McGhee's adj
ministration from rs to 45 per cent.
He believes that this steady increase
may continue for several years, il
parent. teachers and the county sup
erintcndcnt will work harmoniously
together for better instruction and
a more thorough knowledge Of the
common branches.

Rome, July 2O-Not at all dis
couraged by the failure to bring a.
bout European reconstruction by
means of the Genoa conference, Italy
will Immediately taclie another
worldwide problem via the interna-
tional congress route.
This time it will be the housing
crisis, which, as a result Of the war,
remains almost as acute in the west
crn hemisphere as on the European
continent.
With an international congress for
the economical and cooperative con-
struction of apartment houses. to
be held at Rome, September FL to
26, Italy plans to show the rest Of
the world just how she has solved
the problem herself and to put the
fruits Of her experience at the dis
position of the others.
The congress will be able to see
at Rome whole quarters ana suburbs
composed exclusively Of huge apart
ment houses, covering acres and acres
of ground, which have been built,
for example, by certain cooperative
catcgorics, such as the state railway
employees, employees of various min
istcrics, government employees gen.

simultaneously with theses work.

will be able to see other high grade
quarters composed Of great apart

luxury, in which, in turn, every a.
partment is owned outright by the

of building become at Rome and

practically no construction whatso-

ACCIDENTS INCREASE ss. .
AS HIGHWAYS IMPROVE
Speeding 5and Careless Driving
Held Causes Of Biz i
Percentage Of Mishaps

Speeding lure on broad, smooth,
straigtaway sections of the Minnesota
trunk highway system is running up
accident totals with the railroad
grade crossings, sharp turns and
other dangerous sections which are
being made safe as rapidly as pos
sible, says the current bulletin of
the state highway department.
"The better the road, the greater is
te inclination to overestimate safety
and to speed" said John H. Mullen
chief highway engineer, terminating
railroad grade crossings, clearing and
widening curves, building guard rails
and in other ways, the state is work
ing to make trunk routes 100 per
cent safe. But careful driving is
the first essential to highway safety
as is shown by the large number of
accidents where the road conditions
are nearly perfect"
The Frazee Press cites an example
and points the moral:
The Detroit-Frazee highway is too
good, at leas! for some drivers, and
Lit proved to be that for driver of
service truck last Friday when he
lost control of his car and plunged
off small grade just east of De-
troit, jimming up his truck and re-
ceiving a bad injury to his leg when
he was thrown against stump.
Something went wrong with the
car sure thing. No harm comes
from fast driving-until something
goes wrong.
There is usually something wrong
with the bean of guy who is always
"stepping on 'er." "Another acci-
dent? Too bad," and the speed man.
lac is on his way, hitting 'er up to
40 or so per.

Big Time for All During
Bazaar. Next Week

During the Moose bazaar all next
week on the lots west of the Rex
theatro special arrangements will
be made to amuse the kiddies. This
is quite appropriate to the Moose,
because one of the strongest and most
appealing features Of the order is
the wonderful school and home at
Mooseheart, where over. 1000 or
phaned children are being educated.
Consequently, for the Moose bazaar
the interest of Bemidji kiddies are
being looked after, and especially so
since there has been made rule
against their spending any money
on other features which the grown
ups can enjoy.
For the youngsters there will be
big merry-go-round every day.
There are negotiations in progress
to have Mutt and Jeff" to appear
each evening. At this time of the
year Santa Claus" is not very busy
and he is confidently expected to
appear on at least one evening.
Each evening several special en-
tertainment features are planned.
Among those already engaged are the
Agony Quartette and Roy Papermast-
er. Each night the program will be
different and there will be a number
of surprises,
The lodges publicity committee
will have on sale Moose pennants
and badges, balloons, horns and
dozen other kinds of noise-makers
toys and novelties. The kidides will
find much at the bazaar to interest
them, the committee announces.

WIDOW OF JOHN WAGNER
MURDER VICTIM PASSES
(By Unitad PrAaal

Austin, July 20-The widow of
John Wagner died late last night
from wounds inflicted by a person
who killed her husband with an axe
two weeks ago today.
Mrs. Wagner died without giving
authorities any information. She
said she did not know what struck
her. Death came a few hours after
the will of Wagner was filed for
probate. The will totaled $4,000.
The death of the widow is expected
to result in a contest of the will.
One of the children is Mrs. August
Detloff, whose husband has been held
without charge since the murder.
The death of Mrs. Wagner probably
means double inquiry.

ROSEN RYE is TOO BIG
FOR ORDINARY BINDER

Harry Gunsales has field of Ro-

and should yield over 80 bushels to
an acre, according to the statement
of Assistant County Agent Edison
Washburn, who hts Iseen this 80
acre tract.
Mr.. Wahburn reports in various

Leg, a serious disease in some districts
but which can be controlled by pull

vines from the field during the sum-
mer and treating the seed in the
spring before planting.

CONCERN TO UNDERTAKE
SAVING or BIRCH HERE
Permanent Location Of. Mill
Will Pave Way for Wood
Working Industries

All possible doubt concerning the
location. of a blrc-lwood products
plant in Bemidji in the very near
future has been cleared UP through
a communication received by the Civic
and Commerce association from w. A.
'Babbitt, manager of the Minnesota
Lumber Associates, Representatives
of which were in Bemidji last week
making arrangements for the location
of a plant here. At the time the
delegation left here, all details had
been completed with the exception of
arranging for a plant and power.
1t is now understood that the plan
ing mill of the Crookston Lumber
company at plant No. 2 has been
leased for the experimental run
which will be for the period of one
year. At the end of that period,
without doubt, arrangements will be
made for a permanent location.
The communication from Mr.. Bah
lit in part follows: u
"With reference to the project of
establishing a saw mill in Bemidji,
to make a thorough test run on the
white birch available in your terri
tory, I am pleased to advise that
the Minnesota Lumbe r Associates
have decided to undertake this op-
Grafton, and will proceed with the
installation of machinery and the
purchase of raw material as rapidly
as circumstances will permit. ~,.
"Without question, this prompt de:
cision is largely due to, the remark
able. and unusually efficient organ
izaaion of the bushes men. The
Associates all realize that the coop
Grafton your people have SO freely
rendered is worth far more to- us
in dollars and cents than any finan-
cial inducement ''to Locate that
your enterprising community could
possibly offer. Furthermore, we
know that your good organization
will be sore if we do not collect on
your offers of cooperation to the
very limit. If the test run works out
as we anticipate, you will have us in
a position where we will have to CO.
operate with Bemidji in securing the
location Of wood working industries
to use up part of our. products OF
Standard Dimensin.
"About the educational campaign,
Mr.. Thornley, suggested that it
might be of interest to the people
of your territory not only to see an
exhibit of the various kinds and
qualities of white birch, and learn
what can and what cannot be utili-
zed, but they would also like to see
a fairly representative exhibit of the
articles which are made from white
birch. Possibly we might distribute
some "silly souvenirs"
''If this appeals to your organi-
zation, we would be glad to put it
out under your auspices. Without
doubt, you would avail yourselves OF
the opportunity to make careful
registration of all kinds Of birch
which, in the opinion Of the owners,
would measure up to the specifica-
tions, and could be delivered at a
price mutually profitable" g. :.
It is quite probable that the asso-
citation will larrange for such an ex-
hibit Of Brentwood and its products
at the Northern Minnesota Fair here
August 18th to 10Th, inclusive.
