Representative A. E. Rako, who is

thing exists"

INITIAL STEPS TONIGHT
TO ORGANIZE JUVENILE
BAND AT CITY HALL

Tonight will be big night" In
the annals of Bemidji boys, for ut the
city hall, at 8 o'clock, Director q.
oliver Riggs, director of the Bemidji
band, will address the boys of the
city on the question of organizing
a Juvenile band, similar to >Ae
splendid juvenile band he formed IN
Crookston, and he wants to see every
boy interested present. Parents
should see that their hopefuls are
there.
The idea is to give Bemidji a band
of young men equal to any in the
state and the instruction on the part
of Director Riggs will be absolutely
free, without a cent, of cost to the
boys or parents. Musical instruction
will also instill wholesome spirit
into the youth of the city and also
be an accomplishment of which any
youth and parent might well be
proud
1t Is hoped to have a membership
of from rs to 100 AID every effort
will be made to get the band in shape
for a few appearances this summer.

coins birth anniversary, in what will
have a big bearing on the third high

the odds favor Little Falls.
Little Falls defeated st. Cloud on
the formers floor 80 to 18, while Be-
midji came through with "A to %

MUNICIPAL LEAGUE
EXPERT WILL SPEAK AT
>BEMIDI MASS MEETING

From an unbiased viewpoint, Be-
midiji voters will have the opportun-
fly to hear from an entirely neutral
speaker the workings of new form
of municipal government, such as
has been framed for Bemidji by a
charter comission appointed by the
judges of this judicial district, when
E. l.. Bennett of the extension de-
partment of the University of Mime
sofa will speak at the Elko theatre
next Thursday evening, at which
w. T. Robinson, president Of the
Commercial club, will preside.
Mr.. Bennett is the expert problem
solver of the Minnesota League Of
Municipalities, comprising the lead
ing cities of the state, Of which Be-
middji is a member, and Bemidji be-
ing such member the presence of Mr..
Bennett is free of all cost.
The views of Mr.. Bennett are Il
matter of uncertainty. He will
speak from an entirely disinterested
standpoint, so far as eBmidji is con-
cerned, and what he will have to
say should be valuable to all who
hear him, that they might act In an
intelligent manner when the charter
adoption is up for action on the day
of the municipal election, February
18.
Mr.. Bennett will arrive in Bemidji
on Wednesday morning and be the
guest of the Commercial club at noon
day luncheon.

crowds that ever attended a basket
ball game in Bemidji.
Principal ]. w. Smith, coach of
the Bemidji five, has kept his quint
busy since the Wadena game and :e-
ports that his players were on edge
for the starting whistle Wednesday
evening.
Captain Opsahl and Stechman will
probably be found at the forward
positions with Simons at center, but
just who Will start at guard is un-
certain at this time.
Coach Smith is building up a de-
feuse to stop speedy Sprandel, who
is considered one of the best for
wards in the state. Against st.
Cloud this athletic Gagged six field
goals and at Crosby Friday night
found the net for ten field baskets.
Wands, his running mate, is also a
forward to be feared. He is no doubt
the best foul shooter in the district.
Captain Sims at guard is considered
one OF, the best. in the state. He
held May, the } st. Cloud star. for
ward, ITO one basket and netted two

The Munroe rumor directs atten-
tion to a growing factor in Mime
sofa education-the prominency in
large administrative posit tions of men
trained in Carleton college. First of
all is Governor Burnquist, Carleton
graduate and believer in the value of
the small college. Then comes Dr.
Marion L.. Burton, president of the
University of Minnesota, who spent
seven years at Carleton before finish
ing off at Yale. Mr.. Mcconnell, the
new state superintendent, also is a
Carleton man.
Governor Burnquist, besides being
regent Of the university ex officio,
has the appointive power as regards
all other regents except the presi-
dent of the institution. OF the state
high school board, three members
hold their places ex-officio, and the
other two are appointed directly by
the governor. Mr.. Munroe is one Of
Governor Burnquist's appointments.
Mr.. Mcconnell was appointed state
superintendent by Governor Burn
quist
Some doubt is current as to
whether the normal board will care
to act on the Bemidji presidency until
the legislature has granted its pend
ing appropriation requests, to, pro-
vide for salaries, supplies, and so on.
The last word on appropriation rests
with the governor.

Tomorrow Is the day sch eduled for
the meeting of the state normal

sion it is expected the new president
for the Bemidji state normal will be

There seems to be a strong effort
to land Supt. Munroe of the Fari-
bault schools for the position, but
there is another candidate from Ste
vens Point, Wis. who is considered
with much favor.
There is also another matter to
come up, that OF an appropriation
for badly needed dormitory for the
new school and this will be given at
tention.
A committee from Bemidji consist

town folk
"The Babcock road bill is what
am working for hardest" said Mr..
Rako. Il am satisfied that this will
mean much for Minnesota. The plan
gives Northern Minnesota more miles
of hard surfaced roads, according to
population. than to any other part Of
the state. The bill, If it becomes
constitutional amendment, will not
cost the state one cent, but will be
paid by auto owners at an average
cost per car for license of SIS. The
plan connects every county seat in
the state and provides for the con-
nection of new county seats, should
