sand Lakes association, headed by P.
H: McGarry of Walker, whereby it
is planned to send an advertising

to attract tourists to Minnesota, is
meeting with splendid success. This
class of business means much to the

self-interest as well as the growth
and development of the city should
prompt Bemidji to do its part to
make this movement success.
The St. Paul association has con.
tributed from it's treasury $4,000,
contingent on the balance Of the
state raising $4,000 to feature this
work.
Every merchant and business man.

is engaged in the Canadian recruit
ing service, will be guest Of the

is to keep fund of twenty to twenty

At the end of each month he re-
ports the amount spent and the
twenty fellows chip in to bring the
balance up to $40. Several have al
ready volunteered. The list will be
published as the names are turned

that the twenty "good fellows" will

Ever since the breaking out of the

more and more apparent. Because
Of this danger and outrageous treat

ter the war. In my opinion we wait

\ tered the war it became my duty to
Y support my government and the ad-
Z ministration charged with the con-
duct Of the war with all my phys
ical, financial and mental power.
I have been led to believe that

try my every effort to support the
