this evening under the auspices of
the Woman's Study club- Bingham
will he remembered by many Bemid

on the Chautauqua program in 1916,
at which time he made innumerable
friends. His account of the game
played between the business men of
Bemidji and the the Chautauqua
men was unusually interesting.
Written in poetry especially for the
Pioneer, Bingham's account of the
game made a hit with the crowd, one
of the few hits which the Chautau
qua bunch made out of the game.
Bingham played second base. The

Advocates Believe They Can

(By United Press)
Washington, Dec. 11A strength
house before March 4th, rallied all
before the senate today for action,
opening what threatens to be a long
and bitter struggle by the opposing
factions.
Administration forces, with some
what rejuvenated confidence of
pushing the bill through the uppor
house before March 4th, rallide all
their strong powers for the first on
slaught-
Opponents of the measure on the
other hand are preparing for a pol
icy of resistance in an effort to de
lay indefinitely any action if they
are unable to muster sufficient votes
to bring about its opening defeat.
The situation as the opening gun
was fired appeared to be aginst car
rying out the tremendous legislative
task assigned for this session by,
Warding. Republican' lenders wM
be satisfied if they can obtain action
en the rural credits measure, the ap
propriation bill and possibly some
railroad legislation-
It is the plan of the administra-*
tive group to lay aside -the Subsidy
for the appropriation measures is-as
they come from the house. In this
manner, they believe they will kill

might be organized agtfinst the Sub'
