D. A. r. will make or see that the
sweaters are made for our own boys
who need and call for them, if the
money can be secured for the pur-
chase of the wool al once.
Mr.. J. II. Allen at the Bank OF
Edgefeld has kindly consented to
receive any amounts for this sweater
fund, and in this case every hour is
precious, as many of the boys need
the sweaters. The D. A. Il. will do
all they can to add to the fund, but
desire some immediate responses to
give our generous knitters something
to do at the earliest possible date.
The reason for this appeal is at
tached TO this communication, and
there was another personal appeal
made from the same company.
The sleeveless sweaters are listed
iu our catalogues from five to seven
and a half dollars. The hand made
ones are superior and bear in their
weaving prayer and love in each
stitch for those who will wear them.
The mother hearts of the Edge
field women inspire US to give these
sweaters to the boys. We do not
want them to pay for them.
Any amount large or small will
be gratefully received.

If there ever was a time when vege-
table gardens should be planted it is
this summer, owing t. the high cost
of food, and undoubtedly there will
be many more gardens planted this
spring than ever before in Bemidji.
And in this connection Bueford M.
Gile, agricultural supervisor of the
Bemidji schools, has already started
a propaganda to reduce the cost Of
living for parents of school pupils
in the school gardening proposition
and what he has to say should be
carefully considered and given due
recognition.
To the Pioneer today he said:
'The high cost of vegetables of all
kinds will undoubtedly result in a
great many parents in. Bemidji want
ing their children to have school
garden for the coming season. Any
school pupil in the fourth grade or
above can have q garden, by having
his or her parents sign the garden
blank which will be distributed in
the near future and depositing fifty
cents to help pay for the garden seeds.
The principal object of the fifty-cent
deposit is to eliminate those who
would ask for a garden and then not

Bemidii Is host today to Hymtur
Hanson, one of the men who started
in the 528-mile Red River dog derby
from Winnipeg to st. Paul carnival
week and who was forced from the
race at Grand Forks when both Of
his feet and ankles had become so
swollen that further mushing was
out of the question.
With Hanson are two of his dog

the other three being sick in Min

son in the race is also with him and
he and his outfit are appearing at
the Rex theater this afternoon and
tonight, having Unexpectedly arrived
with the reels of pictures Of the dog
race enroute back to Winnipeg.
The pole dog of Hanson's team is

APPEAL. TO BE TAKEN
ON WET" DECISION; !!
,lSkNN0UNCED TO-DAY


Announcement was made today
that the decision of Judge Stanton
in district court. whereby he declared
that Beltrami county was "wet" on
the vote Of the Red Lake Indians, is
to be appealed to the Supreme court
of the state for a ruling.
The decision of Judge Stanton af-
fects that part of the country not in
cluded in the Federal jurisdiction so
far as it relates to the Indians.
At the "wet" and "dry" election
the vote of the Indians made the ver-
dict of the election "wet" and con-
tention was raised that the Indians
had no right to cast ballot.
T. c. Bailey and E. E. Mcdonald
are the attorneys for the. "wets" and
M. J. Brown, John L. Brown and H.
J. Loud are attorneys for those who
are taking the case to the states
highest court.

show up to take care of it. Each
gardener gets all that is raised on his
garden to either take home or sell
as the parents desire. In the past,
many children have supplied the
home with fresh vegetables and have
sold several dollars worth of produce
in addition.
"The gardeners are required to re-
port for work twice per week during
the planting season and once per
week later on. It is healthful, in
vfgorating work and keeps the pupil
profitably employed during the idle
summer months. Small prizes are
offered for the best gardens and also
a half years credit in eigth grade ag-
riculture for those in sixth and sew
enth grades. The gardens vary in
size according to the age of the pu-
Pill. The gardens for the sixth and
seventh grade are 20 by SO feet;
fifth grade, 20 by 35 feet, and the
fourth grade, 20 by rs feet. All the
seeds and plants are furnished by the
school.
Home gardens will be conducted
for East Bemidji and Fifth ward
schools and small prizes will be offer
ed for the best kept gardens"

Hanson is a splendid specimen Of

conversation with any one who cares
to but not inclined to push himself
forward. His return to his Lake

GREETS BOST0NIANS:
OF EXCEPTIONAL MERIT

The rs. R. O." sign was hung out
early at the Grand last evening when
the Famous Bostonians made their
1917 debut in "The Rose of Homo
lulu," a colorful, tuneful and mirth-
full musical melange, something en-
tirely out of the ordinary in musical
comedies in every respect.
Sixteen young women and one
young man comprise the cast in this
remarkable aggregation, the addition
Of the latter being an innovation in
the annals of the Bostonians since
their organization several years ago,
when they started as the Juvenile
Bostonians and grew into adults,
causing change In the name but re-
tanning their original form and class
of entertainment. --..-.,..-.,...,-u
The company is not stranger to
Bemidji, having appeared here an
nually for several seasons. Hence the
"S. R. o." sign, which is certainly
enough recommendation and commen-
dation for any theatrical aggregation,
and If applause is music to q per-
former" there certainly was plenty
of music on the part of the sar-
dine-packed house last night.
Without intending any insinuation
as to the company in it's entirety, for
they are all valuable adjuncts in
their respective roles and inches, the
pertinent inquiry might be made,
why are Doris Garfield and Patsie
Henry away up Gin the woods?" Not
but what the people of Bemidji and
elsewhere appreciate them but again
There's a lot Of excellent
talent of unusual merit wrapped up
in this pair and the management Of
the Famous Bostonians are entitled
to pat themselves on the back.
Special stage settings, electrical
effects and latest songs, all well d.
rected and interpolated with spright-
ly dialogue and plenty Of genuine
comedy; comely chorus, excellent
voices and graceful dancing-that's
the famous Bostonians.
