COMMERCIAL CLUB
WILL HEAR CORPORAL
HAYNER OF MARINES

At the Commercial club luncheon
tomorrow noon the menu will con-
sist of beef loaf, potato filling, dill
pickles, cabbage salad, Boston brown
bread, apple pie, coffee and cream.
Everybody gets as many guesses as
they want on the conundrum: Why
is Boston brown bread like cocoon?
An interesting feature will be the
presence of Corporal Harold Hayner
of Bemidji, corporal of the United
States marines, in station at Mare
Island navy yard, California. He is
home on a furlough and will tell
those present personal experiences in
the marines.

AER0PLANE PLANT
UNDER WAY HERE
BY BATCHELDER;;
EXPERT in CHARGE
All Types of Aircraft Are to Be
Built; Aviation School Also
To Be q Feature.
A. R. BORNE IN PERSONAL
CHARGE OF NEW PROJECT
Students Accepted Now in Study Of
Mechanical Details; Flying
Course Soon.

Bemidji will have large aero
plane manufacturing company and
school of aviation here in the near
future, headed by I. P. Batchelder,
according to an interview with Mr..
Batchelder.
Mr.. Batchelder has for some time
past planned on forming an aero
plane company for the purpose of
building military training tractors,
hydrO-aerOplanes, sea-planes and
small exhibition machines, aeroplane
parts and accessories complete, and
after making trip east and getting
in touch with large manufacturing
companies, he has returned and has
already a large hydo-aeroplane un-
derway here that will be used as a
training machine in the school of
hydro-aeroplaning.
Expert in Charge.
On his trip east, Mr.. Batchelder
secured the services of A. R. Borne,
one of the most experienced and best
known aviators in the country, to
come to Bemidji and get this bust
ness started at once and it has been
decided that school of hydrO-aerO-
planning will be started first, in con-
nection with mechanical instruction
in the building of aeroplanes. In the
meantime, plans for a large factory
are considered which will be com
pleted as soon as possible. Mr..
Borne stated that in his travels he
has never seen a more ideal spot
for hydro-aeroplaning than in Be-
midi, with plenty of outlying lakes
for force landing places and numer-
GUS tracts of good level ground for
land flying. Owing to Bemidii's
railroad connections he stated that
this city has every convenience of a
larger city, and even more so, due
to the fact of the overcrowding in
larger places which is done away
with.
Ready for Students.
Mr.. Borne said today that he is
ready to accept students in the mech
anical training department at once.
The flying courses will start about
the fifteenth of this month if he is
not delayed in receiving the material
that is being shipped in for the ma
chine that is being put up now.
The machine under way now is
45-foot hydro-aeroplane and
will be driven with $50 H. p. mo-
tor. It will be two-passenger,
double controlled machine, using
the Dep. Control which has been
standardized by the U. S. govern
ment.
The United States government has
appropriated $645,OOO,OOO for aero
nautics to be spent this coming year
in putting 10000 aeroplanes on the
western front in Europe by Septem-
ber 1. 1918. The present output of
aeroplanes in this country per year
is about one-third of the above
amount, and if the plans Mr.. Batch
elder has laid out goes through in
time, Bemidji will have by this time
next year a large aeroplane factory
with an output of several machines

CHAPPELL PEOPLE CELEBRATE

The greater part of the people of
Chappell and community celebrated
away from home this year, owing to
there being no celebration here here
The largest number went to Julesburg,
while others went to the celebrations
held by various towns within a radius
of hundred miles or more. Those
who were away report a very large
gathering at all towns that celebrat-
ed. The day was for the most part a
real Fourth of July day as the wea
ther was hot and dry. At Julesburg
the ball game between Haxtun and
Julesburg was held the best attrac-
tion. The game was a good one, go
ing ten innings and with score of
8 to in favor of Julesburg. Up to
the seventh inning neither team scor-
ed. In the seventh Haxtun scored
two runs and Julesburg tied the score
in the last of the ninth and won the
game in the tenth by scoring. The
game was a pitchers battle, but few
hits on either side Other sports there
were good, but the large crowd that
was in town made it impossible for
many to witness all of the program.

MEETING TO Be HELD MONDAY
NIGHT TO MAKE PLANS FOR FAIR
All Interested in Seeing Big Fair Pulled Off in Juesburg This
Fall Are Earnestly Requested to Attend Meeting to be
Held a Grit. Advocate Office Monday Night.
July 16 to Discuss Important Matters

was the case last year. We believe
that three days session would be
more satisfactory, but the matter will
be brought up and threshed out at next
Monday nights meeting. Another
feature which will no doubt be dis
cussed will be that of splendid agri-
cultural exhibit. Conditions were
never better for this section to dis
play it's products, and we believe this
department should be given close and
immediate attention.
Practically every person we have in
terviewed wants fair this fall, and
the meeting is being called for Monday
night to ascertain what can be done
in making arrangements for the sue
cessful staging Of the event. Let's
have q good turnout next Monday
night and get busy. It will take a
solid cooperation of all our citizens
to be able to hold fair here this fall.
We shouldn't think it too early to
commence making preparations, as it
will take quite little time to formul-
late the plans which will be necessary
for the occasion.

July 18th for the purpose of discuss
ing matters pertaining to fair being
hsA In JMesburg this fall. Everyone
~ il interested in seeing a good

city requested to be present at next
Monday nights meeting.
II we are to have q fair this year
no time should be lost in making ar
rangements for the event. Now is
the time to get busy so that the event
will be an assured success. We believe
that it the unanimous sentiment Of the
people of this community that the fair
be held earlier in the season, say some
time early in the month Of September
if possible. The fair held here last
year was marked success, notwith-
standing that it was held too late in
the season to be assured of favorable
weather, it being real cold during the
two-days session.
It has been suggested that a three
days fair be held instead of two, as

community to keep pushing ahead.
and it takes cooperation to do it.
Julesburg is a good town to live
in, and We have many special advan-
tages. which other towns in this SEC
tion do not afford. We should al
work for this, our Home" town aad
always be ready to do our "bit" b,
helping to build up the town and ths
community. Just the other day we
heard one of our most prominent eit-
liens remark: "That JulesburR was
made up a class of citizens % =

That man is public spirited citissn

He believes in saying = good word

his interests in our midst, and NOR
of his calibre are indeed worthy Of
citizenship.
We, as citizens of this community
are responsible for its welfare, and
the town and community is just what
we make it. If we let things drag
it is evidently our fault; if we insert
"life" and pep" into the community
we are responsible. Our happines,
and prosperity depends upon our owr
actions to a great extent, the old ray.

EXEMPTION BOARDS ARE
NOW READY IN STATE
STATE IS READY
FOR SELECTION
Provost Marshall Evans RepOrts
All Boards Organized And
Serial Lists Of Regis
trants Prepared

Colorado stands ready for the selec-
tions from its registered young men
under the universal service law.
Provost Marshal John Evans Tues
day reported to the war department
at Washington that all local selection
and exemption boards of the state ars
organized.
Thus Colorado, although it includes
many counties that lack facilities for
quick communication, is in the van
guard of the states in the prepara-
tions for raising the new national ar
my that will fight in France.
The members of the seventy five
local selection and exemption boards
in the state have all been working dill
igently for the past week to prepare
for the greater and more important
labors they are to perform. They
have taken and filed their oaths, have
made copies of the original registra-
tiOn cards, and have prepared the
serial lists of the registered men in
their districts, which will be the lists
from which the selections are made.
The jurisdictions of the boards are
practically the same as the areas ov-
er which the registration boards pre-
sided, and the personnel of the boards
in most instances is the same, altho
under the law the boards are entire
ly separate bodies from the registra-
tion boards.
In Denver there are nine boards,
each presiding over district which
has been assigned to it. These dis
tricts are the same as those used in
the registration. Because Denver il
both q city and county, there is no
need for county board in Denver. In
Colorado Springs theze is one board
whose jurisdiction is confined t. the
city's limits. There is arcther board
to administer the law i'll the remain
der of Ell Paso county. In the city of
Pueblo there are two boards, while
third body will administer the law
in Pueblo county outside the city. Be-
cause Of its heavy population and its
geographical conditions Weld county
has been divided into two areas, with
a board for each area, altho only ono
board administered the registration in
the county. In all other counties the
boards have jurisdiction over the en-
tire counties.
The chief work of these boards will
be rulings on exemptions claimed by
registered men. They will have the
local administration of the selections
Of the men who must serve, the Sc
lections to be made actually in Wash

vices.

HOLYOKE WALLOPS JULES
BURG TUESDAY 9 TO

Every ball team has its off day, and
that was certainly the case last Tues
day when Julesburg went over to
Holyoke last Tuesday, and met defeat
ut the hands of the Holyoke team by
the score of 9 to l. 1t was an awful
drubbing the boys received. 1t will
be remembered that Julesburg beat
Holyoke here two weeks ago by the
score of 10 to 3, and it was indeed a
surprise that the Holyoke team should
turn the tables in such fashion.
But we have an alibi, and although
we admit that the Holyoke boys play
ed good base ball, our team was at
a disadvantage for the reason that
we did not have our regular lineup,
this fact proving very disastrous at
the critical stages of the game.
Fussel did the twirling for Jules
burg, and although he was pounded
out for a number Of hits, it was no
discredit to him, as no pitcher wants
to work his arm off when he knows
he hasn't a team behind him who will
give him the support he deserves.
Fussel simply took things easy, and
we don't blame him in the least for
not using his best efforts last Tues
day.
Our boys. having enjoyed long
string of victories, had gotten to the
point where they we're over-confident,
and we believe it to be one of the
best things that could have happen
ed in the way of inserting more pep
into the game. 1t will be lesson
that no ball game is won without
playing for it for all there is in it
Holyoke having been defeated 50 bad
ly here recently. it was foregone
conclusion that Julesburg would take
Tuesdays game in a walk. But they
didn't-and the way they played, they
were not entitled to it.

JULESBURG DEFEATS OGAL-
ALA SUNDAY TO

The Julesburg .and Ogalalla base
ball teams met for the second time
this season last Sunday afternoon at
Riverside Park. Julesburg again de-
feating the Ogallala boys by the close
score Of Z to 6 in a ten inning con-
test
The game was q rather loosely
played one at the start, and Ogalalla
gained q lead which looked as if our
boys would not be able to overcome
Beam WAS on the mound for the To-
cal team, and pitched q good game
with the exception of one bad inning
when Ogalalla got on their batting
clothes and secured q number of hits
Starting off in the ninth inning the
score stood 6 to I in favor of Ogalalla
1t looked bad for the local team, and
things were sure ripe for one of those
famous ninth inning batting rallies, in
order to even things up. The game
had been uninteresting up until this
time. Then the much-hoped-for bat,
ting rally started, when our boys be.
gan to hit the pill all over the lot
and when the last half of the ninth
was over, the score stood to g..
In the first half of the tenth Beam
retired the Ogalalla bunch in due
form. with the exception of a long
fly knocked to the center garden
Law making brilliant running catch
which ended the first half of the in
ming.
In the last half of the tenth Jules
burg again commenced to hit the
ball, and soon had the bases full. Their
Fussel hit one safely over third which
brought in the winning run. and saw
ed the day, thus adding another vic
tory to Julesburg's string of victor
les.
