CAN ANYONE help
THIS YOUNG STUDENT

There is an opportunity for some
one, most likely business man, to
render service to the Bemidji high
school football team and at the same
time to a young man who is anxious
to work and 60 to school. The
young man is one who helped great
ly to put the Bemidji football team
on the map and now finds it impos-
sible to return to spend his last year
in high school unless he finds some
kind of night work to do. He is a
valuable football man, so valuable
that the Virginia school has gotten
him position and made other in
ducements for him to attend that
school. The young man is also a
good worker and can do most any
kind of work. He has taken a course
in bookkeeping.
Anyone who can help the student
and school by offering position
should notify Supt. w. P. Dyer, DR..
J. w. Diedrich or the Pioneer.
