finds BIG men HERE
For that Reason Marine Corps Picks
Bemidji as Best Place for Re-
cruiting Station.
ALL ACCEPTED GO TO SEATTLE

Because the men are better fed and
up to weight, Bemidji, above all 9TH
er towns in the state, outside of st.
Paul, minneapolis and Duluth, is
looked upon with favor by the Unit
ed States government as a recruiting
station for the marine corps.
Lieutenant Robert L. Denig, United
States Marine Corps, has arrived from
ST. Paul to make arrangements for
opening a recruiting station here
Bemidji is in the Minnesota district,
headquarters of which is located at
st. Paul. Outside the three larger
Minnesota cities, Fargo and Grand
Forks, N. D., are in this district.
Marines enlisted here are sent to
Seattle for three months and are
then sent to Guam, Hawaiian Islands
or the Philippines, after which they
are likely to be assigned to China, a
battalion of 800 at present being sta
toned in the turbulent city of Pekin.
in.
eve like Bemidji,'' said Lieut.. De-
mig, because we have found many
recruits here in the past-42 in one
month, and because it is noticeable
fact that of the many men examined
in this district, remarkably low
percentage have been found under
weight, the inference being that the
people here are bettr i'd than in many
recruiting fields.
DR.. e. H. Marcum has been ap-
pointed the examining physician. The
recruiting Office will be located in the
Huffman, Harris & Reynolds insur-
ance building on Beltrami avenue, OPP
posite the Markham hotel. AS soon
as possible Marine from the ST.
Paul Office will be appointed to have
charge of the station here
Men who enlist in the marine do so
for a four year service. The lowest
salary paid is $3.50 a month to-
gether with clothing, lodging. food
and medical attention. AS high as
$3.50 is paid specially trained mar
ines.

Last night about 40 members of

There they played games, sang songs
and listened to several Rotations by
Miss Knappen of the High School

In Favor of Extra Session.

The number of persons on the pro-
gram who are open champions of an
extra session for reapportionment is
causing comment. Editor George F.
Silk of Pine River and Editor C. F.
Mahnke of Moose Lake are both
strongly urging an extra session as
also is Representative Knapp and Ed
itor Eastman has not directly opposed
such plan.
1t is expected that there will be
some interesting developments in the
good roads discussion as Representa-
tive Robert C. Dunn and Senator J. T.
Elwell will participate. Mr.. Dunn
has recently attacked the Elwell law
as being highly impractical.
Another interesting sidelight of the
program is that Alvah Eastman's
friends will improve the opportunity
to boom him for governor.

4 GREAT Battle

In one of the greatest games ever
played between the teams Meharry
and Fisk was battled to-day for the
verdict. The weather was ideal Tor
the players. The field was a bit
treacherous and yet the game was
one of the fastest battles waged by
these ancient rivals. Each team
brought out the best they had in the
shop and long before time was called
for play one could see that it was
going to be a battle royal.
The Fisk supporters were jubilant
over the splendid showing of their
team and were loud in their praise
of the work done by them this sea
son. They figured that with an
equal break in the luck the old Gold
and Blue would be returned a sure
winner On dope Fisk had the call
and the wonderful playing OF the

harry team is palying the famous
Minnesota shift and for few
moments swept everything before
them. Fisk did not seem able to
stop them. But after a few words
from Capt. Kindle things began to
look different, and the Fisk line is
now holding like true and tried vete-
rams.
To say that the game was a good
one is putting it too mild. 1t should
be called corker-one of the great
est seen here this season; one in
which one sees all kinds of new and
old football. The game was replete
with sensational stunts, long runs,
forward passes, line plunging and
good kicking. In fact, to have missed
this game you would have lVst some
thing you could never have regained.
The playing of big chief Cochran
was also splendid demonstration Of
the modern game, and the manner In
which he worked must bring COM
ment from all.
Bass also played wonderful game
at center, as we'll as did Brown, Can.
ady and Zuber. In all the game must
be considered one of the best ever
seen at Athletic Park.

Strange as it may seem, yet it is
true that all Fisk teams have been
noted for their ability at end runs.
The team to-day demonstrated beyond
a doubt that they have few equals
end no sunerior at that style of play.
Kendall, in breaking away for his long
and spectacular end runs, would
bring the stands to their feet. There
is no DENYING the fact that Fisk is
playing one Of the greatest games
