The money will be spent on roads
tributary to Bemidji and on the
maintenance of the Jefferson High
way. Without this clubs activities
the permanency of the Jefferson
Highway would look rather dubious
It cost somewhat over $3.50 to secure
it, which amount will be paid out
of moneys collected. If the highway
was still to be secured, this city
would raise several thousand dollars
to have it routed through here. And
now that it is here hundred thou
sand would not buy it back.
When the committee calls upon
you to give this important matter
consideration, your signature ap-
piled will be of material assistance
in completing the work.

terest shown in a campaign than in
the Red Cross drive now being con-
Quoted in Bemidji and Beltrami
county. Today the committee men,
bers made the rounds Of the city to
make note Of the houses wherein the
Red Cross flags are missing and to
secure, if possible, membership in
those homes. Practically every home
in the city is showing it's colors and
before the close of the campaign
there will be mighty few houses
which do not boast a Red Cross mem
bership. >-,%,. = -" - .:: ''''
Here's Patriotism.
Just about the most patriotic in
stitution in the city Is the Bemidji
box factory. The plant has force
of over $50 employees and every
single one has taken a membership
in the Red Cross. Mr.. Kenfleld, one
of the owners and general manager,
said today that every one of his en-
ployes had taken out a membership.
Making Big Hit.
The display in Ibertson's Is prov
ing one of the biggest hits Of the
campaign. Here are shown the sam
pies of the work being done by the
Red Cross and the soldiers. There
are pajamas, helmets, sweaters,
socks, scarfs and every article that
is being made by the Red Cross Of
the United States for the soldiers
and sailors. The surgical dressing
classes have an excellent exhibit of
the bandages being made and there
is an endless variety. The front of
the store has been arranged attrac-
lively and those in charge are at
tired in the white costume of the Red
Cross.
Farmers Are Joining.
It is truly remarkable the num-
ber Of persons from the country who
are attracted by this feature. Daily
there are several who come into the
store and say they are not members
of the Red Cross and wish to join.
Scores of new members have thus
been added, they never having been
solicited, owing to their residence
being out of the city.
The Aa%Sneaf stoGy Of "buying socks made
nv the Red Cross has, as the Pho
neer said it would, proved a "bloom-
er." The lady who told the Red
Cross membership solicitor that she
had heard such report said woman
had told her that she had heard it
from another in Nebish that couple
of lumber jacks had bought socks
in Nebish and in one was a slip
whereon was written, made by the
Red Cross President Warford OF
the Red Cross chapter investigated
the report but the trail disappeared
