MERCHANTS DISCUSS
FEDERAL BUILDING
SITE ITUA TIO.N
Postmaster Ritchie Suggests That Be-
midi Residents Permit Govern
ment to Select Location.
PETITION TO BE CIRCULATED
Request That Fourth of July Fund Be
Turned Over to Band in Filling
State Fair Engagement Denied.

"When are we going to have our
new postoffice," was one of the ques-
tions fired at A. P. Ritchie, Bemidji's
new postmaster, following his ad-
dress at the meeting of the Bemidji
Merchants association Tuesday after
noon when he urged that every CO.
operation of the patrons of the local
office be given that the service, al
ready above criticism, might be i'm
proved. s~
Heaven knows that we need one
in Bemidji. I never before realized
how much new quarters were neces-
sary in order to expedite the work,
but do realize it now. The boys are
hard workers and anxious to please
all, but under the conditions they
are considerably handicapped to
render such service as is possible, had
we newer and larger quarters
Is Up to Government.
Mr.. Ritchie was then assailed with
questions concerning the possibilities
of new Federal building, to which
he replied: II can't tell anything
about it, because I don't know" Mr..
Ritchie did believe, however, that if
the patrons of the postoffice were
united upon the question of the site,
1no vii hn k1
government officials and in some
manner recall what has been done in
the past, site would be selected
within sixty days.
This angle of discussion brought
applause from the business men and
it was quickly suggested by e. H.
Winter to get up petition worded
to that effect and circulated among
the patrons of the postofice In both
city and country.
Committee Appointed.
. The following committee was ap-
pointed to draw up a petition. and
cause it to be circulated Throughout
the city and country districts: y
E. Reynolds, George T. Baker, C. D.
Backus and Walter Elliot. If you
are in a favor of a new -postoftlce
building and are willing to let the
government choose the site with a
view of rushing the proposition to
completion as soon as possible, sign
the petition.
Band Needs Help.
The Bemidji bands needs about
5000 if it is to fill it's state fair en-
gagement. This question came up
at the meeting and ways and means
for the solution of the problem was
left to the band committee which
consists of c.. w. Brandborg, chair
man, E. F. Netzer and Frank Koors.
The Merchants association has a trifle
over 5000 in the treasury of the
Fourth of July committee, but learn
ed that it could not legally be ap-
propriated for any other purpose than
a Fourth of July celebration with
out the consent of each individual
contributor. .-..s Ii ~

TALKS ON BIBLE; DROPS DEAD
Lecturer az Brooklyn Expires Wits
perIne "Pray to Jesus for Any
thing You Want"

Cornelius d. Weaver, lawyer, Of
342 Fifty-sixth street, Brooklyn,
dropped dead when addressing a
meeting at the Mariners temple. He
had been quoting and lecturing on
Biblical texts before an audience of
forty or fifty persons, mostly boys
and young men.
He stopped suddenly and fell from
the platform to the floor just in
front of the chairs. The boys picked
him up and heard him say: spray to
Jesus for anything you want"
A policeman was called, and he
summoned an ambulance from the
Hudson Street hospital. Doctor Sla-
ter responded, but found that Mr..
Weaver had died almost instantly
Heart disease was the cause.

TEACH THE YOUNG FILIPINO
american Educators Are Doing a Won
derfuI Work In Americas East
ern Possessions.

Within a few years of Americas
possession Of the Philippines 100000
bright Filipino boys and girls were
found in schoolhouses scattered all
over the islands studying modern
textbooks illustrated from Philippine
life. Fifteen hundred American
schoolteachers had come over ten
thousand miles to the facilitating
climate of the islands to enable these
boys and girls to know the facts of
history, the wonders of life, the Sc
crets of healthful living.
Then these young people told the
story to their parents, who had never
been educated under the Spanish re-
gime. In fact, to be educated was
the privilege only of the estrada, or
upper classes. And these Filipino
children told their parents they must
open the windows of their nipa
(straw-thatched) huts at night and
let in the fresh air; and nat it was
not sanitary for each member of the
family in turn to smoke the long,
black family cigar which was sus-
pended from the ceiling. They told
them, too, that water must be boiled
to prevent the spread of typhoid,
which had steadily decimated the
population.-Christian Herald.
