BOOSTERS OUT TODAY
ON JEFFERSON ROAD

Attired in old clothes, warm wear,
armed with shovels, hoes, rakes, axes
and implements such as come handy
in road improvement work, about 100
boosters this morning embarked in
about rs autos and set sail for the
Jefferson Highway to improve the
stretch between Bemidji and Solway.
The contingent met al the city
building and lost no time in getting
on the job. Each of the workers
carried lunch and coffee kas served
them at noon.
The task of putting the stretch Of
road in question will require more
than one days work, according to
those in position to know but the
work done today will go long way
toward putting the highway in a sat
isfactory condition and more work
will be done later.

Members of the city council
and spectators as we'll enjoyed
a good laugh last evening at the
expense of Alderman Smart
when the application of Swanson
& Erickson for a license to sell
cigarets was presented.
The application was about to
be granted, when it was discov-
cred the license COMMITTEES had
not approved the application.
1t so happens Alderman
Smart is chairman of that COM
mittee and the application was
referred to him. There was no
objection to granting the Ii
cense as it is provided for and
was in correct form, but Alder
man Smart loves a cigaret like
the Kaiser does King George of
England, and the expression on
his face when he affixed his sig
nature of approval caused a
hearty laugh on all sides.

theReStR0onl;
Benefit Of All

The question of the mainten-
ance of the Bemidji rest room
was settled by the council last
evening, when Alderman Hazen
moved that the city pay the rent
of the rest room for the next six
months period and thus do
away with the burden on a few
progressive business men, and
Alderman Smart supported Ha-
zen.
It was voted to appropriate
the sum of $35 monthly during
the summer for the support of
the rest room. Heretofore the
city has paid $40 per month and
the Commercial club has paid
the rest, the rent of the room
and the services of Mrs. Thomp-
son being $35 in summer and
$40 in winter.
The room is for the conven-
fence of all corners to Bemidji
to shop, trade or on a visit and
is for ALL Bemidji and a few
have been digging into their
pockets to support it.
Alderman Hazen asserted the
room was for the benefit of ev-
erybody in the city ana be-
lieved the city should support it.
