Commercial Clubs Publicity Com

Starting Important Task. :

Boost the Magic City,"

The Commercial club publicity
committee of the Jefferson Highway
has been actively engaged in getting
ready for the big advertising cam
paign calculated to herald Bemidji's
charms and enterprise through
out the United States, trough
the medium of the Jefferson
Highway Declaration, the monthly
magazine published by the Jefferson
Highway association, and Bemidji
other Minnesota cities through which
the highway passes for the business
terminated by the highway.
Boosting Bemidji.
Like in many other cities, the Be-
midi Commercial club has contracted
for two pages in the Declaration
which has a circulation of over 1O,-
900 among auto owners along the
route of the highway and scattered
through other states. One of the
pages is to be devoted to setting
forth Bemidjis advantages for visit
ors and in business way in story
form, the other page to be devoted
to advertising. One-half of the ad-
vertising page will be at the disposal
of enterprising business men and the
other half will be devoted to commu-
nifty advertising.
Here's Rare Chance.
The half which will be for the
advertising of enterprising boosters
will have eight spaces only and these
are to be sold to the highest bidder
on a date yet to be announced. The
spaces are suitable for advertising
of hotels, garages, real estate, tire
repairs. etc, and similar lines saand
will be Of much value to those for
tunate to secure them. The mini
mum price for each space is SIS per
month on a contract for not less than
one year.
This year the Jefferson Highway
was responsible for bringing hun
dreds of new visitors to Bemidji and
it's value was plainly indicated in
many ways. Next year it will be
greatly increased, owing to the pub
licity to be given the highway and
Bemidji will get her share of the
benefits

Yom kippur, ,Atonement Day
of Jews, Being Observed

God. Jews devote the Day of Atone
ment to prayers for the forgiveness
of their sins. They avoid all ordin-
ary and sordid interests on this Sab
bath of Sabbaths. The fasting is
abrogated, however, for children,
old people and the sick, or in times of
famine and pestilence, or such con-
tingencies as are incident to the de-
privations of war.
The aim of Yom Kippur is atone
ment through prayer and repentance.
These contain no element of media
tion through either redeemer or a
sacrifice. The only truse repentance
comes through change of heart and
an effort to do better. Each human
being stands before his Maker seek
ing in honesty to make his record
clean.
A feature of Yom Kippur is the
Memorial service. Men and women
think of their dear departed and of
the great and good who served man
kind. Especially in times of stress,
when many brave men are offering
up their lives, fervor animates thcsc
prayers by which their memory is
honored, and their ideals are pre-
served.

NO IMMEDIATE CHANCE
OF GERMAN REVOLT
BELIEF OF AMERICA
(By United Press)

Washington, Sept. 26.-American
officials believe there Is no immedi-
ate chance of a revolution in Ger
many to overthrow the kaiser. While
official advices indicate growing
discomfort within the empire, par
ticularly among the women, auth
critics conclude the Germans are SO
used to the kaiser's domination that
there will be no upheaval until fur
ther casualties open their eyes to
the stupidity of the living under
such an autOcracy.
On this theory, Secretary of War
Baker and Secretary of the Navy
Daniels are laying plans for two or
more years Of war.
Meantime, advices indicate the va
tican is waiting for America to see
the light 1t is convinced the kaiser
cannot be overthrown and believes
the American people will not stand
for such sacrifices as the allies have
already made. The pope believes
there can be no victorious peace -
American officials declare if the
Germans continue dumb to kaiser
ism, force, fire and steel will event
ually compel them to change their
minds.

Today is Yom Kippur, the day of
atonement of the Jews throughout
the world, the greatest feast of the
Jewish year. 1t commenced at sun
set last evening and will continue
until sunset this evening and the
.observant Jew neither eats nor
drinks, but devotes the day to fer
vent worship. Yom Kippur is dis
tinctive among Jewish holidays for
it is not associated with nature or
with their history. 1t is day for
the searching of the heart to find
union with the God of the world.
The fast originated in Biblical
times, and is described in the six
teenth chapter of the book of Le-
viticus. In those days the people
tasted and afflicted themselves, while
the high priest made atonement for
tY entire house of Israel. This
/onement was made in ancient fash
Zion by sacrifices, and especially by
the symbolic rite of driving the
scapegoat into wilderness to bear
away the sins of the people.
New prayers take the place OF
sacrifices In modern Judaism prayer
is the right form of approaching
