Both Teams and a Close
Game Is. Expected * y
NEITHER TEAM HAS YET
MET DEFEAT THIS YEAR
Locals to- Have Practically
Same Lineup But Batting
Order Is Switched il

The Bemidji high school baseball
team will meet the Park Rapids
high school baseball team on the
local diamond Friday afternoon ut
the fair grounds at $3.50. The game
is the second of the season for both
teams and closely, hard fought
game is anticipated. Neither team
has been defeated and both are de-
termined to keep their slate clean.
The Bemidji squad has been prac-
ticing hard all week and expect to
play smother game than they did
two weeks ago against Cass Lake
in the opening game. DR.. j. W.,
Diedrich, former gopher shortstop
and captain, has been coaching the
boys and the greater part of prac-
ticc has been devoted to hitting.
With ideal weather local fans who
love the national game will in all
likelihood be treated to some good
baseball.
The lineup for the locals will be
practically the same as started in
the opening game only that the
batting order will be switched some
what in an attempt to find the best
run producing combination. Bailey
will start off as lead man with Rhea
moved up to second place. Hurst
will be moved up to third while
Hickerson will be showed down from
second to fourth or cleanup position.
Baincy, Bemidji pitching ace will
no doubt start the game for the

GOOD TRUNK HIGHWAYS
IMPORTANT TO FARMERS
Adequate Highways Essential,
Congressional Inquiry
Committee Decides

Highway transportation, held Of
first Importance to the farmer be-
cause all he produces and uses must
be transported over roads, was the
subject Of special recommendations
to congress by the National Agri-
cultural conference called by H. C..
Wallace secretary of agriculture,
at the instance of President Hard
ing.
"Country highways are the farm
er's first and principal transporta-
ton means of marketing their pro-
ducts" was the finding. "They are
the arteries Of the economic lind
social system Of the, country. On
their condition rests the amount Of
the transportation charge that must
be added to the gross cost Of farm
products, and the more fully they
are developed, the less that weather
conditions are allowed to clog the
flow of traffic, the greater will the
health Of the body polite and the
added profusion of cnjoyments and
privileges to the common people.
"Thc loss from bad roads should
be reduced to minimum, not only
to enlarge the farmers market, but
to shorten the time and reduce the
spread of price between the farmer
and the consumer.
"The farmer should be able to
haul to market twice as much, twice
as often, as he has been able to do
in the past. If the farmer is to be
put in position to help influence
the price Of his products by not
dumping them on the market for
fear Of unreasonable weather, he
must control the conditions Of the
roads to his markets. Without proper
road conditions 'orderly marketing
can never be accomplished. Rapid
growth Of traffic over the highways
has been so greatly intensified dur
ing the past few years that this
method Of transportation needs
earnest and careful consideration"
The conference adds proposed
program to extend road betterments
and commends much of the work
already undertaken by highway Of
ficials in the more progressive states,

MlNNEAP0LITAN Fines,
= AS SENATE CANDIDATE
Filings for State Legislative,
Congressional and Judicial
+ Offices Closed May 10

y St. Paul. May Lifts all over
now: If you haven't filed you can't
be elected governor of Minnesota. this
year.
Cause why? Well, for one reason
because filings tor legislative, con-
gressional and judicial offices end
ed at 5 p. m. yesterday, May 10.
Filings for county offices are still
possible.
No last minute filings came in
from Bemidji or surrounding dis
tricts, but the five candidates for
senator and two for the house Of
Representatives still stand.
It was the democrats who furnished
ed most of the final. moment en-
citement, if excitement you can call
it in this year of quiet, although
a ripple was caused in the repub-
lican ranks by the filing of Richard
E. Titus of Minneapolis as a candi-
date for the nomination of United
States senator.
Titus is an unknown so far as the
general public is concerned and his
entrance reveals again the vagaries
of the present primary procedure.
Titus commands practically no sup
port from any quarter. He is a mid
die aged man Of exceedingly limited
means. He has done some ward work
in Minneapolis. He is not, platform
orator and his candidacy can not be
taken seriously by anyone one who
knows him. For months with no Wis
IDLE means of support he has been
about on the streets Of Minneapolis
with a cheap notebook, having all he
could induce to do so, "sign up" for
him for United States senator.
Most of those whom he approached
took the matter as huge joke and
signed. He is said to have several
hundred names on his self circulat-
ed and self drawn petition. He
will be unable to make anything
like state wide campaign and the
votes he gets in opposition to Frank
B. Kellogg will be nil, or less
William J Bryan is likely to be
heard in Bemidji during the COM
ing camnaign The !Commoner has
offered to come to Minnesota and
make several speeches in behalf of
the candidacy of Anna D. Oleson,
alias Mrs. Peter, for the Un1ed
States senate, as the democratic
nominee.
Andrew J. Volstead is up against
it good and plenty again Rev., Kvale
having filed again for the republi-
can nomination for congress. Two
years ago Rev. Kvale filed and won
but was later disqualified in court
action brought under the corrupt
practice law. the minister being
charged with having improperly
said that Volstead is an atheist So

more favorable than they have been
