BAND BENEFIT TONIGHT:
MAYOR YOST PURCHASES
TICKETS: BE- BOOSTER

When Major John D. Yost, head OF
Minnesota's recruiting, was in Be.
midi yesterday on a busin less mission
and learned that the Twenty first
Home Guard battalion band was tc
have Sergeant Hanley and his French
battle front war pictures on view at
the Elko tonight for the benefit OF
the band, he promptly purchased 10
tickets, evidencing his spirit Of CO.
operation with Bemidji. Major Yost
stated he had heard Sergeant Han
ley speak, had seen the pictures and
that Bemidji would miss something
good if it missed seeing those films
and hearing Sergeant Hanley.
Hanley is one Of the 13 survivors
of the Princess Pat Canadian regi-
ment that was practically wiped out
in the fighting with the Hun hords
that poured toward Paris early in
the war. They were the first Cana
dians to go. over at the first call and
their heroism is bright chapter in
the annals of the terrible conflict.
Tickets for the benefit tonight are
selling rapidly. 1t is means taken
by the band to maintain it's present
plane. The band is for all Bemidji
and is entitled to every recognition,
for it's members have donated time at
a sacrifice time and time again for
furthering war activities and provid-
ing entertainment for Bemidji and
without a cent recOmpenSe.

CAMP WADSW0RTH, WHERE
DRAFTEES ARE GOING, IDEAL

According to official figures fur
nished by the war department, Camp
Wadsworth has better health rec
ord that is enjoyed by any other
camp in the United States. There
have been fewer cases of illness and
fewer deaths than may be recorded at
any other camp and this record is
still being maintained
Among the units now to be found
at, Camp Wadsworth are regiments
Of pioneer infantry, anti-aircraft bat
talions, field signal corps, the only
school for army nurses in the United
States, a school for army bakers, la
Dor battalions engaged in farming on
a large scale undo" the direction of
the government reclamation and con-
servation division, an ordnance de-
partment, a remount depot, deveL
opment battalion and the artillery
park of the Third army corps.
Gen. Guy w. Carleton, who COM
mands Camp Wadsworth, was in the
regular army before the outbreak of
the war, as a colonel of cavalry, be-
fore he was promoted to the rank of
brigadier general.
The churches and social organiza-
tions Of Spartanburg have done their
utmost to care for the soldiers. They
have constructed a $4,000 soldiers
club for the enlisted men and organ
iZed country club for the officers.

Parents and friends Of the draft
quota that left Beltrami county from
Bemidji and Baudette this week will
be interested in knowing what kind
of a place Camp Wadsworth, South
Carolina is. Here is brief descrip-
ton:
Situated $50 feet above sea level,
at the foot of the Blue Ridge noun
tains, surrounded by pine trees, Camp
Wadsworth is an ideal location for
a military training camp. Military
experts who have visited this camp
have declared that nc more suitable
location has been chosen in any part
Cf the United States. The camp en-
braces approximately 5000 acres OF
land. The soil is sandy and for the
most part gently rolling. The main
camp is about three miles east OF
Spartanburg, which is one of the
south's historic locations Eighteen
miles from this city is where the bat
tie of Cowpens was fought in the
Revolutionary war, when Morgan de-
feated Tarleton. In the town square
stands monument to Gen. Morgan.
The Minnesota men will probably
lie attached to the provisional depot
for corps and army troops now at
Camp Wadsworth, majority of them
probably placed in the pioneer in
fantry,

SQUIRE HAS NEW CROP.
(By United Press. }


London, July 26.-One Of the most
successful munition manufacturers in
Great Britain is a country squire, To-
Gated in the northwestern part Of
England.
Before the war he was the typical
fox hunting squire.
When war broke out he converted
a timber shed and a farm workshop
into a factory, and obtained con-
tract to make shells. Without any
official aid he managed to equip the
premises with a curious collection Of
machines, begged, borrowed or
bought, and later he added several
machines built from homemade cast
ings. He completed his contract, OBJ
tanned another and is likely to con-
tinue making shells to the end of the
war.
The squire's daughter Is chief tur-
ner. his woman secretary is manager,
and girls from neighboring farms
turn out the shells.
But one man is employed. He is
a trained mechanic.
