Bemidji is going to make an effort
to secure an armory, and hope to he

TO that end. President Robinson of
the Commercial club has appointed
Major Mitchell Of the home guard

Bemidji motor corps; Captain Hal
Huffman, just returned from mill
tary service, and F. S. Lycan, pro-
prietor of the Hotel Markham, as a

Bemidji patriots, just before the
outbreak Of the big war, turned over
to the state lake shore site for an
armory for the naval MALTA, and
the patriotic citizens voted $4,000 in
bonds toward the armory. 1t was
thoroughly understood that the state
had $4,000 ready to turn over as
it's share, and 1t was the plan to make
the new structure worth while. But
1t was said after the MALTA reported
to the first line, the day following the
call, the armory was not needed, and
it is also stated that when the naval
division returns 1t will have ceased
to exist Yet, there Is the home
guard and the motor corps, both Of
which rendered sterling service TO
the state during the war and no ia
cilitie available for maintaining in
