BOOST THE TREE.

We're for that municipal Christ
mas tree and we're for it strong.
And we want everyone else to feel
the same way.
In Bemidji. same as in many other
cities, there are many deserving
poor children to whom Santa is q
myth, so far as the be-wh1skered old
chap and his pack are concerned,
likewise the tree, and it is for these,
yes, and all the other youngsters to
whom the coming of Santa is being
eagerly watched.
And while we're about it, might
we not confess that most Of us
grownups are also looking for Santa.
That's just exactly 1.-THE NUM-
cipal tree-for those to whom Christ
mas means little compared with 9TH
ers more fortunate.
1t is for the little ones the NUM-
cipal tree is projected, to instill in
them the meaning of Christmas and
the spirit of it's observance and by so
doing make for better men and wo-
men and bigger, better, more beau
tiful Bemidji.

NAME THE SCHOOLS li:(

Why is it that Bemidji has no
names for it's different school build
ings- names that stand for some
thing, mean something's? Don't you
think it is a little strange that the
school buildings are not really named
names as used now just sort of
happened. In practically every other
city schools are designated in honor
of prominent personages, some of ma
tional repute and others of local fame
pioneers and persons who have
done things for both city and edu-
cation.
Why not have the schools of Be-
midi appropriately named?

THE REFORMER.

There are two kinds of reformers
those who utter words and those
who do deeds. The first endeavors
to set one class over against the
other; he rants and shrieks at ''busi-
ness'; he claims-for the sake of his
own political preferment and private
gain-that the man who has saved
up dollar is, by reason of that fact.
a crook and an INHALED criminal.
The other is the real reformer-
he is pretty apt to be one of those
beings, anathema to the demagogue,
successful business man.

There's one thing about the pro-
posed costumes of the Bemidji ladies

thing that makes us nervous it is

not necessarily be small In value, but
Just small In form and In the means en-

Mr.. Barrere's field Is that Of music which

also occupy the place between this and
the orchestral kind.

Gus assertions OF each artist returning
