DRAFT CALLS DEPLETE
BAND ROSTER: DIRECTOR
J.. AFTER new RECRUITS

The coming draft will take about
three more band members from the
ranks of the Twenty-first battalion
band and Director Peterson is endeav-
oring to secure additional members,
an inducement being good jobs in Be-
midi. He says he wants to keep the
band up to its standard, for the chief
reason it is big asset to Bemidji
and as evidence of good faith to the
people who have been its loyal sup
porters.
AS a point of illustration, when, the
band played concert at Birchmont
one evening recently, a tourist had
stopped at the hotel for the. day and
night. He heard the band and when
he reached his home in a city in the
southern part of the state he gave to
the papers an account of his trip,
ind much space was devoted to his &C
count of the enjoyable evening he
spent at Birchmont, and expressed
himself as greatly surprised at the
merit of the band in city the size of
Bemidji.
And this is only one of several sim
liar incidents.
