dreds of people who thronged the
city were highly pleased over the
musical organization that represent
ed Bemidji in the big loyalty cele-
bration, which featured the annual

W. S. S. DRIVE OPENS
IN BEMIDu TODAY

The meeting of ward captains and
block workers called last night by
DR.. G.. j. Larson, city chairman Of
the War Stamp committee, at the
Commercial club rooms, was attend
ed by over eighty boosters for today's
War Stamp drive. The methods Of
soliciting was explained by DR.. Lar
son and G.. w. HarnWell and at 8
o'clock this morning the solicitors
reported at the club rooms and start
ed canvassing the city.
Evidence began to come in early
from the outside districts that the
country was again going over it's
quota. From Wilton, telephone
message brought the news that T.
A. Barker had started the ball roll
ing out there with a subscription OF
$500. This was more than the total
quota assigned to Wilton.
Grant Valley reported part Of its
subscription and showed an over
subscription already secured, with
more to come From the township
of Bemidji a report was received
showing everything going fine out
there Lavinia is going over it's
quota, also, from present indications.
The city of Bemidji has quota of
$4,000, or an average of almost $40
per capita. Early indications that
a large number of small subscrip-
tions are being offered where the
local committee was expecting larger
ones. The fact should be remember
ed that the War Savings Stamps are
the best government security offered
thus far. They are guaranteed to
be worth par value at all times, plus
compound interest at somewhat over
per cent They are, in fact, bet
ter investment than Liberty Bonds.
Every man, women and child should
make a pledge of some size and it
should be as large as possible.

NEW CITY DIRECTORY
INTERESTING VOLUME

Bemidji's new city directory, pub
lished by John H. Ley, st. Cloud, is
compact and complete little VOL
ume, attractively put together and
calculated to serve it's purpose we'll.
1t is said to be the most complete
city directory Bemidji has ever had.
A glance through the pages dis
closes much of interest in the names
Of the inhabitants Of the city. For
instance, one finds the human an
atonmy represented by Mr.. Back and
Mr.. Head.
There is also Baker and a
Butcher. In the menagerie one finds
Bird, Lamb, Ant, Beaver, Fox. Ma
tionalities are represented by Eng
lish, French and Spain. In an agri-
cultural way there is a Gardner and
in the building trades there is a
Carpenter. The latter could build
a Castle or Barnes out Of Stone or
Woods of various descriptions and
could paint it White, Brown, Gray
or Black. T''.''"t.''. T. .,-,
There is also Mr. Kidd and several
Kidders, and besides these there is
Mr.. Rose and Mr.. Bush. There is a
Farmers land company and Mr.. Clo-
yer. The saints are we'll represented
in st. John, St. Louis and St. Peter,
while other biblical characters are
recalled by Kane and Abell.
In the seasons there are Winter,
Sommer and Frost In counting up,
there are five Wards in Bemidji, one
name listed for each Of the NUM-
cipal units.
There is also Huck and also a
Finn. The Johnsons seem to be the
predominating family in Bemidji,
there being 54 names listed, not
counting the family members. The
Olsons come next with 38 listed, the
Smiths with 20 and the AndersOns
26. The shortest names have three
letters.
Then there are Brooks and Bridges
and Beaches and If one cares to take
