S15OO0 SET ASIDE TODAY BY STATE NORMAL
BOARD FOR PRELIMINARY NORMAL WORK HERE
MOTHERS DAY SUNDAY:
WEAR WHITE CARNATlON
TO HONOR HER MEMORY

Next Sunday will be Mothers
day throughout the land, a day
to let mother know you are
thinking of her, to make her
heart glad with word or mes
sage that you love her.
You may think that goes
without saying-and, truth to
tell, it generally does-but try
it, and see what happens. See
mothers face light up with
joy; or, # you are far away,
send her a letter and then do
a little imagining as to what
it will mean to her.
Wear a white carnation next
Sunday in honor of your
mother, if she is dead, say the
promoters of Mothers day, now
a national institution, or a
bright flower if your mothe' j.
living.
Righ! low, with America en-
tered into the big world war
and the young men of the ma
tion about to be drafted into
service, the hearts of the Amer
ican mothers are sad and
weighed down with sorrow and
grief. If ever there was a
time for a real whole-hearted
observance of Mothers day it is
right now.
And best of all is the send
ing of flowers to your mother.
In this way she will know what
you are thinking about, even if
you have forgotten how to ex-
press it since you grew up.

HAS new OWNERS

Paquin brothers, who have con-
Quoted a barber shop on Beltrami
avenue, have felt the call Of the farm
and have sold their shop, laid aside
the razor, shears and clippers and
taken up the hoe, shovel, rake and
plough.
The new proprietors are William
Clish, who for the past two years has
been associated with the Crothers

BIDS OPENED FOR /.
new FIFTH WAW
SCHOOL BUILDING;
ACTION DEFERRED
Figures for General Contract and
Plumbing and Heating Are
Remarkably Uniform.
PLUMBING AND HEATING IS
PROBLEM; PRICES SKY HIGH
Figures More Than Doubled and
Quotations Are Subject to Change
at Any Moment.

With the opening of the bids for
the new Fifth ward school building
by the board of education last eve
ming the members were nearly
speechless at the figures submitted
and everybody "backed up" and took
A long breath. Result was, the mat
ter deferred to an adjourned session
next Saturday evening and in the
interim there will be some "tall' fig
uring in order.
The bids on the general contract
were not the cause of the aston1sh-
ment so much as the figures OF
the plumbing and heating, the prices
having more than doubled and one of
the bidders was frank enough to
state that under ordinary circum-
stances the plumbing and heating
could be done for around $1,000,
whereas at present the bids ran all
the way from $16,50O to $17,SOO.
Biddinp Was Uniform.
Remarkably uniform was the bid
ding of the several firms, indicating
that there was no combination ana
no attempt at collusion in getting
away with something, and every
firm that bid was one of standing
and reputdIlOn. 49,,
For the general contract the bids
were as follows:
Lawrence Const. Co. .$29,3OO
Edward Jackson 32,S4O
Adolph WartZ ....... 2S,S59.
Hill Construction Co.,. 29,514
George A. Kreatz. ..... 29,266
Plumbing and Heating.
For the plumbing and heating the
figures were:
Stock & Co.. 81 6,5OO
Charles Wilkins & Co... 16,S75
John. D. Roberts. ...... 5000
L. P. Eckstrum ....... l7,SOO
]. J. Doran .......... l7,4S3
Perplexing Problem.
At the recent bond election for
the erection of the new school the
sum of $4,000 was voted by the
people, a part of this to be used for
the site. The plans call for ten rooms
and with the money voted there is
not enough to build the structure as
planned and pay the high cost OF
plumbing and heating. The board
has no desire to cut the size of the
building nor detract from it's erec-
tion as called for in the plans and
does not intend to, but is going to
figure it out some how, which must
be as soon as possible, as plumbing
and heating material prices are sub
ject to change any time and no hg-
ures are quoted on material for any
length of time.

An innovation for Bemidji is
scheduled for Saturday, May 19,
when E. J. Willis holds a public
auction sale of farm stock, equipment
and whatever is useful for farm pur-
poses, the sale to be conducted at the
foot of Third street. Already the
sale is attracting considerable atten-
tion and several farmers have noti-
fled Mr.. Willis they will be here
with offerings for sale and it is also
certain there will be many buyers
attracted to Bemidji on that date.
If the first sale warrants, others
will be regularly scheduled and it is

Farmers Auction Sale is
Attracting Much Attention

the opinion of many interested that
in addition to the benefits derived
by both buyer and seller merchants
of Bemidji will be benefited by the
presence of many successful farmers
on sale day.
One man has written Mr.. Willis
that he is about to remove and will
bring to the sale his entire outfit
including horses, other farm stock,
new farming machinery, ETC., and
this will serve to illustrate what such
sale means The sale begins at
II O'Clock in the morning and will
be personally conducted by Mr.: Will

POSTOFFICE PHONE TO
COMEOUT ON JUNE /:
EMPLOYEES ARE HAPPY

Just about the happiest
bunch in the city is Postmaster
Ritchie and his assistants in
the postoffice, for after June
they will not hear the familiar:
B-r-r-r.
Busy clerk leaves duties and
goes to phone.
"Hello, Postoffice? Well, is
there letter there for Mrs.
Blank?"
Few moments wait.
There isn't? Why there
surely must be. Is the mail
in from-? Well, what
time does the next mail come
in? Are you sure there isn't
ii a letter there for me? Well, If
there is one on the next mail
please call me- It is important
and 1 want it as soon as it
comes"
And the disgusted clerk
hangs up the receiver mutter-
ing his opinion in subdued
breath so as not to offend any
one who might be in the office,
while a bunch of mail seekers
are cussing the poor clerk for
not waiting on them promptly,
etc., etc.
All this, then, for the simple
reason the phone is to be taken
out under a new order re-
ceived Dy Postmaster Ritchie
and if he desires a phone he
will have to pay it out of his
own pocket. Will he? Not on
your life, and if anything like
it was attempted chances are
he'd be lynched by the post
office force.

St. Paul, May 9.-The state nor

600 to be used after August l for
preliminary construction on the Be-
midi normal. The board stated it
was all that could be done this year
under the appropriation allowed.
The outlook for active operations
for the start of Bemidji's new nor
NAL school as soon as possible seems
roseate, according to A. P. White,
member of the board, who returned
last night from St. Paul where he at
tended a session of the board.
The matter was up to the board
of control to say what should be
done, and Mr.. White expressed him
self as confident it would receive all
proper consideration promptly.
The mooted question as to the
probable fate of the initial appropria-
tion of $4,000, which was never
used and which under the law would
revert to the state August l, was con-
sidered and the request made that
this sum remain intact.
Mr.. White stated that everything
looked favorable and this will be
welcome news for the people of Be-
midi.
