"We went over the top in splendid
shape In the previous loan. we have
contributed we'll to all war activities
and our people are determined to
subscribe the $135,000 which has
been allotted to Bemidji.
sour returned soldiers are asking
why Bemidji hasn't gone over the
top. There Is but one explanation;
the unqualified successes of the pre-
vious campaigns and the belief that
Belnidji will surely go over the top
whether individuals support the loan
or uot."
Chairman Brooks stated that more
than 100 persons who bought bonds
amounting to from 500 to $4,000
in the, last campaign nave failed to
subscribe for the Victory loan notes
and they have not been officially re-
lieYed from so doing, If these men

the district campaign says:
1--WE are not at all discouraged by
the report so far received The peo-
pie of the district will not fail to do
their full duty, but the fact that less
than 10 per cent Of the counties In
his district are over the top after
three days Of campaigning is positive
proof that the job Is big one, and
that 1t will require the earnest and
continuous efforts of every loyal citi-

The Square Man

Compliments we have to
spare, wreaths for all deserving
jays; when we say a man is
square, we have sprung our
highest praise. We throw
laurels left and right, saying
Jimpson is a peach, Johnsing is
brilliant wight, coping all the
coin in reach; Smith is surely
hard to beat when he aims to
sing song; Jackson lands upon
his feet when the luck is break
ing wrong. Every fellow has
his gift, has some qualities we
prize, and you'll always find US
swift handing praise to worthy
guys. But the highest praise
we know is that tribute rich
and rare, which we charity be-
stow: "He is absolutely
square" And that praise you'll
never earn if you do not pay
your debts; If your coin you
blithely burn while the other
fellow sweats. If you retail
with your pen or your larynx,
gossip vain; if the rights of
other men you with insolence
disdain; if you make the sled
ding hard for your neighbor, as
he wends; if you have but small
regard for the feelings of your
friends; if the god to whom you
pray is your Self, here declare
that the boys will never say,
He is absolutely square"

cial affairs of the traction corporate
Directors of the Washington Rail
way and> Electric Company, in spe-
cial meeting. yesterday afternoon. Go
cided to inform the District Commits
sioners that the City and Suburban
units of the system will be unable t"
pave between its tracks on Rhodc
Island avenue northeast. This i'm
provement. ordered by the Commits
sionere will cost about $4,000 and
the subsidiary company has but $500"
in its treasury, it is stated.
To Oppose Receivership.
The Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Company proper proposes to de-
fend itself against receivership to the
last ditch and will permit the smaller
companies composing the system TO
go into bankruptcy unless 1t Is given
additional revenues with which to as
sist them, President Ham stated today.
The District Commissioners have
authority under law to do the paving
work between the company's tracks
on Rhode Island avenue and assess
the cost against the company. In
ability to pay the assessment would.
in the opinion of those who have
looked into the matter. necessitate
application for a receiver.
Bond Interest Due August 1.
Another difficulty facing the City
and Suburban Company Is the pay
ment Of interest on its outstanding
bonds on August I. The amount is
$4,000. Unless the parent body comes
to the rescue-and President Hams
statement indicates there is little
likelihood Of this-receivership may
result from this situation.
The board Of directors yesterday
took no action relative to requesting
additional relief from the Public
Utilities Commission. This proba bly,
will be done at meeting to be called
