FAVOR BALL PARK PLAN
Athletic Club Board of Control Ger
tain Proposition Can be Properly
Financed and Issue Meeting Call
TO COST APPROXIMATELY $1,000

Indications point to the erection of
a modern downtown baseball park
for the city of Bemidji during the
near future. At the meeting of the
board of control of the Athletic club
held yesterday afternoon the pro-
position was fully discussed and APP
proved. After investigating as to-
the cost of the building Of the park ;.
the board, with the assistance Of
Thomas Swinson, city engineer,
found that to build it would cost in
the neighiborhood of $4,000.
The location favored for the new:
park is in the Heffron location, block
two, Fifth street and Jeanette avenue.
In order to prepare the field for
playing quite a little surfacing will
be necessary OF the amount need
ed for the new play ground $3.50 will
go for the purchase of the property,
$500 for the erection of a grand
stand, with seating capacity OF
from 500 to 500, $500 for the fence,
much of which will be paid for by
advertising, and the rest for ground:
There will be a mass meeting held
in the large hall of the clab next
evening. Every one i'm
terested in baseball, whether menu
Der sof the club makes no difference,
is urged to attend. 'z--.
Many schemes have been suggest
ed for raising money with which to
finance the building of the Park, a.
few of which follow; subscription,
the sale of 100 season tickets, min
strel show and a series of dances.
Sentiment favors the erection Of
the downtown park for the reason
that lit will tend to increase interest;
in baseball and will give fans of the
game better opportunity to reach the,
grounds, it will also give Bemidji a.
down town football gridiron and dur
ing the winter months can be used
for skating purposes.

DEFINE BOOK RULES
Postal Authorities at Washington
Tells Parcel Post Regulations

ssBooks is books This is the de-
cision of the postal authorities at
washington regarding the question
that recently arose as to the ddstinc-
tion that is to be made in the parcel
post rules regulating the sending of
books. All books are included in
the ruling, no matter if they are
bound leather or in paper, or whether
they are catalogues or advertising
publications. All the government de-
mands is that the book weigh eight
pounds or more to be included in the
parcel post ruling. If book weighs
less than eight ounces, the rate will
be cent for two ounces, just as was
the ruling before parcel post went in
to effect, and which still regulates
third class mail matter.

BOYS GIVEN CHANCE
TO ATTEND Big FAIR
Some Beltrami Lad May Attend Ex-
hibition Next Fall by Writing Best
Essay on Farm Crops or Stock
LUCKY BOY TO WEAR UNIFORM

Composition to supt. Stewart.
LUCKY BOY TO WEAR UNIFORM

Officers of the Minnesota State Fair
are looking for eighty-six of the
keenest wide-awake farm boys in the
state, from sixteen to nineteen years
old. 1t wants to give them free
trip to the State Fair, Sept. 7-12..
Eighty-six boys are wanted because
there are eighty-six counties in Min
nesota, only one boy from each coan-
ty can go.
The boys who aspire to go to the Z
State Fair will not have very long to
think this offer over. After May |
there will be no chance to get this
free trip, no matter how bright the
boy may be. To obtain the trip
the lucky boy from Beltrami county
must write the best essay on corn,
clover, alfalfa or livestock, submitted
to w. B. Stewart county school super
intendent at Bemidji by all THE boys
competing for the prize The essay
must be from 400 to 700 words long,
and may discuss the subject i'm any
way the writer may desire All es-
says must be sent in by May L.
To Wear Uniforms
The boy who is found to have the
best essay will be member of the
State Fair Farm Boys Camp an en-
| tire week. All the boys will live,
eat and sleep together during the
week. They will be taken about
I the Fair Groands and shown all the
exhibits by special instructors. Some
time will be spent ushering in the
Grandstand and Livestock Pavilion
Each boy will have uniform. Last
year the Governor spent several
hours 'at the Farm Boys Camp.
| In writing the essay it is prefer
able to have an introduction, a body
and conclusion. For example, if
the subject is Livestock, it might be
proper to Introduce the essay by
telling about the value of livestock
to farming. Then, in the body, the
different kinds of livestock interested
in might be taken UP separately and
described. Following this, the con-
clusion might contain some personal
opinions of the boy about the kinds
of farm animals he likes best or con-
siders most valuable. The other
subjects could be dealt with in a simi-
lar way.
Three to Decide
The commi ttee to judge the essays
will be composed of the chairman of
the county board and the county sup
erintendent, who will select a third
|person. The three will then meet;
and, after marking the essays, de-
eide upon the person entitled to rep
resent the county.
