The committee in charge of the ar

the drafted boys who leave Septem-
ber 5, met in the Commercial club
rooms Tuesday evening to complete
details for giving the boys a good
sendoff.
An air of uncertainty, owing to
newspaper dispatches, still makes it
impossible to make final arrange
ments as it was rumored that only
five per cent will be called on that
day. The local exemption board has
notified about SS men to be present,
and Sheriff Johnson, chairman of.

will be in Bemidji September 5.

Chief of Police Gives His
Reasons For Desiring A Car;
Says Not For Use BY Others

IF the people of Bemidji don't
want the police department to have
a Ford or some other cheap car to
help it in it's work, I don't want
one," asserted Chief Ripple today in
connection to the opposition heard
to the council buying a car for use
of the police.
"The general opinion, chief" in
terjected a Pioneer representative,
"is that the car will be used or ap-
propriated by some who have moth
ing to do with city police work and
would use the car out of the city for
business other than in the city. The
people have been 'bunked' so much
they have their eyes open and if it
comes to that there's going to be
'the biggest roar you ever heard and
words won't be minced"
That's just it," explained the
chief. II know what it is about,
but there'll be nothing of the kind.

Heavy Frost
b|ightsCrops
In Vicinity

Severe weather visited Bemidji and
vicinity last night, heavy frost being
reported and this morning crops pre-
sented a most detected look. Acre
after acre of promising potatoes were
badly wilted and turned sodden
green hue. Garden truck was in a
similar state And there was many
a heavy heart in Remidji and the
country surrounding.
In many instances where potatoes
and other garden products were pro-
tected or met favorable circumstan-
ces little or no damage resulted and
the owners were lucky.
The loss cannot be estimated. Po-
tatoes will be decidedly backward in
maturing owing to the blight and
the acreage in bushels will be greatly
decreased. But it is hoped the pota-
toes will pull along with favorable
weather and the loss not as severe
as anticipated.
