FOUCAULT EXPRESSES
HEARTY APPRECIATION
Bemidji, Mimi,
MAY 13, 1918.


To All Bemidji: Before leaving
tomorrow morning for the Fourth
Officers Training camp at Camp
Grant, Illinois, I wish to attempt to
express to the people of Bemidji my
appreciation for the assistance they
have rendered me, and the wonder
full results they have secured in max
ing Bemidji the banner recruiting
station OF the entire state Of Mime
sofa.
Since last September, Bemidji has
added to it's Roll Of Honor, 345 vol
unteer enlistments Of men outside
of the draft age. In proportion to
it's population, Bemidji has led every
recruiting station in the state for the
last five months. This has been made
possible only through the heartiest
cooperation and the untiring efforts
of the civilian recruiting committee,
the members Of the Home Guard, Of
the band, the business and profess
sional men, and the patriotic spirit
of all the people Of this city. I ask
for my successor here, and know that
he will receive it, the same measure
of cooperation and loyal support
that have received at your hands.
While I feel highly honored in
having secured my appointment to
this training camp, appreciate the
fact that this promotion comes to me
as the result Of the patriotic efforts
of all the people Of Bemidji in Sc
curing these enlistments.
It shall always be my earnest de-
sire, wherever I may be called in
service, to give that personal account
of myself which will reflect credit
and honor upon the banner recruit
ing station of Minnesota.
Yours sincerely,
CLARENCE X. FOUCAULT.

Minneapolis, May 13.-Minnesota,

problem in the states history, farm

Addition of 100000 acres to the
1917 wheat fields in itself means a
heavy call for larm labor, but not
until the harvest season. At this
time the crop situation is almost
ideal. There is labor now on the
farms and accessible to them to. take

The problem of help to harvest the
crop already is in process of solution.
It has caused grave concern, but

outlook. Saving the crop will be re-
garded as patriotic service, they
said, and every reserve supply of la
Dor available will be drawn upon
freely. The harvest plan is already
in the making.
Every village and small city in
the state has dozens of men familiar
with farm work, to say nothing OF
the army of school boys. Every man
who can handle farm machinery will
be called on during the wheat har-
vest rush.
