Old Meat Dealer's Method of Getting i
a Reputation for Giving VeVy
Good Weight.
The very latest trick of the trade
was taught to the young butcher by
the marketman who gave him his first
employment. The 6ld dealer pointed
to trays of beef, lamb and pork trim
mings beneath the counter
"When-
customers ask to have all
the waste that has been cut from their I
own meat wrapped up with their or- i
der be sure to put in a few of these
trimmings besides," he said. "Most al
ways they want the scraps sent home
so they can weigh the whole business
and find out whether they are getting
full weight or not. Enough extra
pieces to tip the scales half an ounce
beyond the supposed weight won't
hurt anybody and will give us a good
name."
Shortly after that the new clerk
heard one frugal housewife say to an
other: "Oh, why don't you trafie at
Blanks? He gives such good measure
often almost an ounc more than you
tor."

taken in the field, the course should
prove especially profitable. The!
camp will be managed by a leader
furnished by the Univeristy and he
will be assisted by a man who is a
specialist in agriculture. Each tent
will have a tent leader who will have
charge of the boys sleeping in his
tent.
Any farm boy between, ten and

Stanton polled "by far the heaviest

presidential race, LaFollette made a
strong showing, materially cutting
down the lead of Roosevelt but not
enough to overtake the Colonel.
The most of the votes cast today
came from the city and indicated
that party lines were shattered as
nearly every La Follette vote cast
carried Stanton for governor. Taft
dropped behind on the balloting and

Succeed Harry Masten.
A. M. Remfrey, of Grand Forks,
was selected by the hand men last
night as the successor to Harry Mas
ten, the present director. Mr. Mas
ten will leave about April 1 to take
charge of the Grand Forks Military
band and Mr. Remfrey will be in Be
midji by that time.
Mr. Remfrey is a well known band
man of Grand Forks, having been
engaged in that line of work for some
time. He is said to carry high recom
mendations of his ability both as a
player and as a leader as he has been
connected with some first class or
ganizations in both capacities.
The Bemidji organization -appears
to be in good shape financially and
Mr. Remfrey expressed himself as
well pleased with the prospects. He
'was informed of the plans for a min

the band could rely on his hearty
co-operation.

After each of these town inspec
tions, a report is issued to each com
pany showing each defect and a no
tice is sent to each property owner
asking that he correct the defect and
.ireport to the association. About 2,-
000 inspections have been made and
eight reports written during the past
year.
If one of these meetings can be se
cured for Bemidji, it is believed that
it will result in a material lowering
of the fire insurance rates here. As
is generally known, the rates here
are higher than they should be for,

ial hazards here which are increas
ing certain rates could probably be
lowered were the matter approached
in the proper way.
Secretary Law of the state associa

"One of the most encouraging fea

thus far has been the friendly spirit
of co-operation which is apparent
with the property owners to whom

A real romance was culminated in
a marriage by Commissioner Crowell
this morning when Flora Longerdorf

of Tenstrike. Mrs. Reeves arrived in
Bemidji this morning from an Illinois
town and" it is said that she had not

did not remember that it was neces
sary, to have witnesses when being
married, but fate was kind and sev
eral people were found in the Miles
block who were ready to witness the
ceremony.
William Cross and Ella Cecelia
Zimmerman were also married this
morning. They are {residents of
