Great, Says Lieut.. Lycan
!. OF Navy, Home On Leave

er of the Fifth division, who left
here five months ago, is now execu-
tive officer on the Massachusetts,,
which means that he is second in
command on the battleship. Mr.. Bar
ker's rapid advancement is a credit
to the city that sent him as we'll as
himself.
When asked about his brother,
Wilbur, Ralph said, 1.-THE last time
saw him he was going to pay off a
bunch of men and was more than
loaded down with money" The bro
theirs instructions were "Just to tell
the old Bemidji bunch that the last
time you saw me had $4,000 in my
arms" Wilbur is paymaster's yeo-
man of the Ohio.
Ralph saw Adam Captain" Otto
in Chicago yesterday and learned
that today was to be Mr.. Otto's last
day with the postoffice department
as he is going into training in. one
of the officers camps near Chicago.
AS Ralph has only ten days leave
of absence he will be in Bemidji only
six days, the other days being spent
On the road. 81 am not going to
sleep at all while in town." was his
way of expressing how valuable those
six days are to him.

BRlNKMANS AGAIN
CONTROL THE REX;
OPENING DATE SOON

The Rex theater is to again open
its doors to the public soon and
when it does it will be under the
control of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Brink
man, we'll known residents and the
ones who put the "move" in the mo-
vies in Bemidji. The deal has just
been consummated whereby the Rex
comes into the control of it's new
owners and start has already been
made on Improvements and service
to bring, the theater up to high
standard. Mrs. Brinkman left last
evening for the Twin Cities on busi-
ness matters connected with the
theater.
Until they retired from the motion
picture business, about two years
ago, one of the theaters under the
supervision of the Brinkmans was
the Rex which attained popular favor
under their management. With their
re-entering the field the Rex will
undergo several Transformations in
redecoration, a new ventilating sys-
tenn will be installed and IA new
Fotoplayer will be a faeture of the
special music to be provided.
High class feature films will be the
daily menu and the management will
be under the personal supervision Of
the Brinkmans. The opening an
nouncement will be made later.

Second Lieut.. Ralph B. Lycan, one
of the boys who left with the Be-
midi division of the naval militia
five months ago, arrived home this
morning to spend six days with his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. F.. s. Lycan,
land old time friends. Ralph is divi-
sion and watch officer on the battle
ship Massachusetts, and at present is
stationed at Philadelphia.
Ralph pulled. in" this morning
looking finer than ever-though
some few pounds lighter-and never
felt BETTER" was his way of voicing
his health. ..This navy life is fine;
it is a great<life.
Only three of the Bemidji boys,
John Halseth, Charles Paul and Phil
Brown, besides Lieut.. Barker, are
on the Massachusetts, with Ralph,
but they sure are all making good,
according to Ralph's story. AL
though Mr.. Lycan has not seen the
rest of the Bemidji boys who are on
the Kansas for some time, he said
that he has learned that they are
now all rated as first class seamen,
which means that they are advanc-
ing ms as they were only second
class seamen when they left Bemidji.

ITASCA TOMORROW; -,
= ALL ARE WELCOME

The "band day" program for to-
morrow is all arranged and the band
men and many others are eagerly
awaiting for the morrow to be sure
that the weather and all is fair

ious time for those planning to at
tend the outing at Itasca State
park.
The day and the program is to be
entirely ION the band" The band
will furnish the music, has outlined
and will execute the program and
will see that each one who attends

feature of the program is to be a
ball game.
Those who plan on attending the

All Registrants
Should Report
To Draft Board

There seems 70 yet be some misun-
derstanding as regards the reporting
for examination to the draft board.
1t seems to be the impression that
only the first call Of 5000 are to be
examined.
In fact the government later or
dered the entire registry of the Unit
ed States to present themselves be-
fore the darft board and all in Bel
trami county who have not done so
should do so at once. This is i'm
perative.
If you are among the registered
men and have not appeared before
the draft board of Beltrami county
do so Immediately without fail. The
board is not compelled to chase
around to notify registrants. They
should look out for their own inter-
ests. Find out where you are "at"
without delay.
