BRITISH STRIKING FOR ST
LAFAYETTE

1t may not generally be recalled
but today is the 161st birth anniver-
sary Of one Of the greatest patriots
who ever fought for Americas liber-
ties, Lafayette, the French hero and
friend of the American colonies.
To America this year the name Of
Lafayette brings a new meaning. He
was the champion of the same prin-
ciDles Of freedom for which Amer
ica has now drawn the sword and he
came to us in the moment Of the
struggling colonies greatest need
from France, the country at whose
side the United States is now stand
ing in another fight for freedom.
Today is also the anniversary Of the
battle of the Mcrne, 1914, which
stopped the first German drive upon
Paris. America did not know at that
time that her own liberty was at
take but it knows now.

AIT, MALES WHO HAVE
NOT REACHED 46 MUST
REGISTER SEPTEMBER II

Sheriff Johnson, head OF the Bel
trami county draft board, wishes to
impress upon all just what is meant
by the new draft ages as designated
by the government for registry Sep
tember IL.
: Many seem to be of the opinion
that when they have reached 40 years
they are exempt from registry: This
is a mistake as all who are As years
old and not reached 46 years must
register.
1t is officially announced that "lS
to As years inclusive,' designated as
the ages to be included in the draft,
means all men between 1S and 46, a
man being As years old until his 46th
birthday. This rule excepts, of course
men between 21 and 81 years old,
inclusive, who registered for the draft
June 5, 1917, and the 21-year-olds
who registered June 5 and August "a,
1918.
If a man becomes IS years old be-
fore September IL, or if his 18th
birthday is on that date, he must reg
lister If he is As years, and not 46
years >old, before September IL he
must register.

All males Of Bemidji between the
ages of Is and as years of age, who

BEMlDJl'S' SOCIAL SET
AT CASS LAKE DANCE:
ROASTED RICH BROWN

Cass Lake doesn't think much Of
some Bemidji musical organizations,
Judging from an account in the Cass
Lake Times Of an orchestra from here
that gave dance at the Pavilion in
that town last Friday evening, the
printed account saying in part:
"Quite a number of undesirable
hard d-boileds" from Bemidji, came
over in cars and as the Cass Lake
crowd was leaving, began to attempt
to ruffianize the place, booze being
brought along by the outfit. The XII
bosh was put on the roughnecks by
the arrival of Marshal Brouilette,
who saw that they got out of town
without doing any further damage.
Several woman i'm the crowd were the
worse for liquor, and it is probable
that the tough-nnts will not show
up again. Any way, if they do they
know what to expect

TRUCK IS DISABLED:
SALVAGE COLLECTION TO
BE MADE SATURDAY

Owing to the fact that the truck,
which was to make the Red Cross
salvage collection on the Lake Shore
drive and avenues adjacent, includ-
ing cross streets, became out Of fix,
the scheduled collection could not be
made yesterday afternoon. However,
the collection on this route will be
made Saturday and everyone who has
salvage or anything that can be sold
should have it in front for the truck
when it arrives.
Yesterday afternoon a dear old
lady residing in East Bemidji brought
some articles to the salvage head
quarters, 1T third street, and said
she had intended to bring chicken
to be sold for the Red Cross but
wasn't certain whether it would be
welcome. She also said she had
neighbors who would do the same
thing. She was assured that the
chicken would be heartily welcome
and sold, the money to go to the
Red Cross.
That's the proper spirit and I'LL
who have anything that can be
turned into cash, whether salvage or
not, should take 1T to headquarters
where several calls for articles that
can be used have already been made.
It all goes to the Red Cross chapter
and people can help and at the same
time not suffer any financial pangs.
Everybody is to cooperate in tn is
campaign. Articles that can be sold
to these for whom they would be a
ben eft and at a low price should
be taken to headquarters. or notify

returned home from Baudette tn is
morning where he attended a called
meeting of the Liberty Loan organ
ization of the northern district of the
county, north Of Red Lake. He re-
ports enthusiasm at high pitch and
that the campaigners are awake and
will give their best efforts to meeting
the quota of the county in the COM

at Grygla will have charge of the
campaign there and vicinity.
Allotment Plan Pleases.
The general opinion on the part
of J. A. Kennedy, chairman of the
northern district, and all workers
was that the allotment plan was the
best yet, in that it tends to equalize
the subscriptions among all classes
as regards their finances and abilities
to subscribe.
It is not intended that there will
be any coercion nor threats made
when citizen is approached with his
allotment card by a solicitor, and
there should be no friction, for the
caller will be merely accommodating
the government in performing his
allotted duty and he receives no pay
or other compensation, he being
"drafted' for the work.
