FINAL EFFORT Being
MADE TO FURNISH
GUARD UNIFORMS

To place the Bemidji company of
the Home Guard on an equal basis
with the other companies of the
Tenth battalion, of which this COM
pany is a unit, final effort is be-
ing made to finance the uniforms for
! the men. All the equipment, except
the uniforms, will be furnished by
the government and these must be
furnished either by the men or by
the community. Since these men en-
listed in the guard are giving their
time, it does not seem fair that they
should have to do further duty by
buying their uniforms. Hence, sub
scription money is being raised to
apply on the uniforms, dividing the
balance pro rata among the men,
each paying an equal amount.
No uniforms will be purchased for
men not attending drills and the
muster roll will be decreased in the
next week. Those men showing no
interest by not attending drills with
out excuses will be given their dis
charge from tie service.
The equipment from the govern
ment is expected every day and it
is hoped that it will be here by next
Tuesday, drill night. he lockers for
merly used by United States Naval
Militia will be used by Company
3D."

Prof. Hans Delbrueck inquiries of DR..

Local DriUe for Red Cross Falls
 Under Forecast

Though word of securing 25O0 local members for the Red Cross Christmas drive goes on unabated, there appears to be some stacking in several of the teams and a call from headquarters has been issued for a more consistent drive during the last two days of this week. But S00 memberships have been reported.
 There are several teams which have not reported. In each case member ship blanks have been secured by them. and it is possible that they are working. It Is also possible they are making no efiort to aid tn perfecting the quota of the Warren district
 Each team aud each member of each team is urged to do his best to day and tomorrow Each captain is also urged to report to headquarters today in order that the general com mittee can get in closer touch with the local drive.
