a busy day u Il. The bonfire was held
on the new college campus between

As soon as President Mitchell an

Wagons were borrowed, and In these
the students hauled the boxes, barrels
and any kind Of material that could
be secured. Three large trees were
chopped down three miles away and
carted 10 the scene OF the bonfire. At
40 o'clock the band came out and
started a short parade. By this time

JOHNSON WILL PLAN
FIFTH WARD SCHOOL

The board of education "patronized
home industry last evening when it
selected Thomas Johnson as the ar
chitect to prepare plans and specifi-
cations for the new school to be erect
ed in the Fifth ward, formerly Ny
more, and Architect Johnson will al
so superintend the construction of the
new edifice.
The building is to contain eight
rooms and will cost between $4,000
and $4,000. 2.'"
It is the intention to have the plans
ready in about five or six weeks and
to get to work on the building as
soon as the weather will permit and
push it to completion for occupancy
early next October.
The clerk of the board was in
structed to ask the state for an ap-
preparation to make up the deficiency
in the state allotment for schools.
Last year the state was about 70 per
cent shy and the year previous about
80 per cent, and if the deficiency were
made up Bemidji would receive the
money due it's schools.

ing special attention to the work
with boys and community activities.
The purpose of this campaign is
to enlist recruits for the Christian
life and also to enlist professin 6
Christians in definite service. Mr..
Fagenstrom will give special consid-
Grafton to the young people of school
age. There will be sessions every af-
ternoon and evening during the week.
The evening sessions will be open to
all, young and old, regardless of
church or creed.
A special invitation is made to all
who are not in any way identified
with the church. The afternoon SER
vices will be for particular groups,
and announced from night to night.
Mr.. Fagenstrom is a 1ayman, who
feels called to this ministry, but his
interest and sympathies extend be-
yond any one church. He uses many
novel methods, some of which have
never been used before. If he feels
that he can impress truth better
by appealing to the eye, as we'll as
the ear, he does not hesitate to make
use of the magic chemicals and sci
enJ1nC demonstrations. AluOSt every
evening he introduces original songs
and throws cartoons on the screen.
There will not be a dull moment.
Doors open at 7:15 o'clock and the
service begins at 1880 O'Clock. At
7:45 o'clock Mr.. Fagenstrom will
give some object lessons to boys and
girls, until o'clock, when a snappy
song service follows. The service
closes at 1855 O'Clock.
There will be no collections at the
week-night services.
Mr.. Fagenstrom will speak at both
services Sunday. Full announcement
will be made Sunday.
On Monday afternoon, after school,
there will be a mass meeting for
boys and girls over years Of age.

That there are many in Bemidji
who are not fully conversant with
just what the project for new ar
mory in the city means there is no
doubt, and that they may know just
what relation a new armory, such
as is under consideration, will bear
to Bemidji and it's people few facts
are herein presented for general In
formation.
Perhaps there are some-even
many-who are under the impression
the proposition means the provision
by the people of place solely for a
rendezvous for few who are men,
bers of a naval militia company, but
such is far from the intent or pur-
pose.
49,, ,, Feature of City.
The armory as projected is to be
handsome structure, substantial
and permanent as a part Of the pub
lie improvements of Bemidji. Its To-
cation is to be on the lake shore on
the south side of the foot of Third
street-directly on the lake.
The structure will not by any
means be a ''private snap" for any
one nor corterie but for ALL of Be-
midi.
True, the armory will be the home
of the naval militia, as the structure
will have the cooperation of the
state of Minnesota and the state will
give to Bemidji the sum Of 200
toward erection Of the structure, a
matter than many cities would grab
at like black bass at minnow.

That the building may be suitable
and an ornament to the city and one
of it's most important factors 1t Is
desired to have it what it should be
and the city of Bemidji is asked to
give $4,000, same to be voted for in
bonds at the coming spring election.
The bonds are to extend over
period of 20 years and the payments
are not to commence until five years
from now. This, then, will mean
that in the five years to come Be-
midi will grow in size and impOr-
lance and that hundreds Of others
who come to Bemidji to live will bear
their share.
Really insignificant.
/ It is the intention to have the
bonds in denomination of $500
each. This will mean that the entire
population of Bemidji will only have
to pay $500 per year and interest at
only per cent, for the state will
take the bonds at that very low rate.
No individual nor individuals will
thus be benefited by getting the
bonds at an exorbitant rate. On
every dollar of taxable property in
Bemidji the proportionate share
would be practically the smallest
fraction of one penny.
Citizens Buy Site.
Prominent and public spirited
citizens have already pledged them
selves to purchase the site from the
Bemidji Townsite & Improvement
company and give the property as a
location for the new structure.

With the completion of the new
structure there would be available

$4,000 FISH HATCHERY
IS SEEKING LOCATION

The government has appropriated
$4,000 for fish hatchery in Min
nesota and several cities in Northern
Minnesota are hot after the hatch
cry.
A logical point for such a fish
hatchery would be between Bemidji
and Itasca park, the head of the wa
tiers of the Mississippi. Springs
abound in that vicinity and there is
an abundance of pure spring water
for trout and all kinds of fish.

PRISONER ADMITS STEALING
FLAVORING FROM HIS SISTER
X -; T. e -g & IS . T.
Also Says He Had couple of Shorts
of Beer at Plummer";; Doesn't
Remember His Actions.

= When Frank Berry invaded the
Vicker's hotel restaurant, about 1880
o'clock this morning those in charge
weren't quite certain whether it was
a wildcat or cyclone broken loose
from it's mornings that had arrived
for Berry introduced himself by
grabbing up a lunch counter stool
and smashing off the legs. Then he
grabbed another and commenced to
storm the trenches, smashing every
thing within his reach, knocking two
legs off the stove and raising Hades
in general and putting a block I'M
der it to keep it up, and he had ev-
erybody looking longingly in the d.
rection of the tall and uncut:
The management quickly came to
the conclusion that the best man
available to wait on that customer
was Night Captain Jack Essler of
the police force and he was sum-
moned. o---~,-,~,
Fights Police Captain.
Then Berry transferred his at
tentions to the bluecoat and fought
him for all that was in his powerful
young physique. Every inch of the
way. to the, police station the battle
continued and in the office Of the
chief of police in the city building
the young giant continued. Chief
Ripple, was spending the night at
the building in anticipation of some
trouble which failed to occur and he
heard the connection. Rushing to
the scene he saw the struggle and
quickly snapped a pair Of ''cuffs' on
the strangers wrists behind his back
and he was bundled into cell and
locked securely.
Drinks Lemon Extract.
The cause of it all was three bot
ties of lemon extract on the interior
of the young Hercules and he was
crazy drunk. He and his brother
had come in on the train scheduled
to arrive at 2:17 o'clock but was
slightly delayed.
In police court this morning the
young man was very docile and still
''dopy" from the effects of his de-
hatchery and City Attorney Russell
instructed Judge Crowell to remand
the prisoner back to Jail until this
afternoon to give the '@cobwebs" time
to clear from his brain.
Steals From Sister.
The prisoner gave his age at 10
years and he was a splendid speci-
men of manhood, powerful to mark
ed degree. He said he lived between
Plummer and Erskine and had come
here ''to get work. He stated that
he had stolen the extract from his
sister and had taken one large bot
tie and two smaller ones and had al
so taken "a couple Of snorts of beer
in Plummer," as he put it.
The youth had no recollection of
his escapade and hadn't a cent on
his person nor did his brother. The
latter attempted to deter his brother
from going off on tangent but to
no avail. The brother. who was not
arrested was without breakfast and
Chief Ripple gave him a quarter and
told him to get something to eat.
