EX-SERVICE MEN URGED
TO APPLY FOR MEDALS

To date less than one hundred eX-
service men of Bemidji and Beltrami
county have applied for the Victory
medal. This is very small part Of
those who are entitled to the medal.
OF the number who have already SUBJ
mitted their applications, about nine
ty per cent will get battle clasps or
country clasps for foreign service.
This gives Bemidji good average,
and shows that great number OF
Bemidji men saw actual combat SER
vice during the war. The highest
number of clasps, as yet awarded any
Bemidji man on his medal is five, de-
noting, that he participated in five
major offensive operations.
During the next two weeks of his
stay in Bemidji, Field Clerk Hum
phries would like to get in an ap-
plication for every ex-soldier of Bel
trami county who has not already
submitted his application. Comman-
ders of American Legion Posts in
the county are urged to communicate
with Field Clerk HUMPHREYS at the
local recruiting station regarding the
number of members of their posts
who have not yet made their appli-
cations for the Victory medal the
number of blanks required to COM
plete an application for each memb-
er of their post, and for any tnforma-
tion regarding the issue of the med
ais they may desire.

LIGHT AND POWER PLANT

Given Brothers Hardware store has
installed an up-to-date power and
light plant in the basement for the
purpose of demonstrating this new
line to their customers. This machine
is the Marco and it has wide range
OF use for every purchaser. In add
ing this machine to the company's
retail list, it is believed that an ex-
ceptional opportunity has been
offered the farmer to procure a
lighting and power plant which will
prove all around useful.
The Marco can easily be detached
from the lighting plant and be used
in connection with a binder or a
potato digger and other like farm i'm
plements which require heavy pulling
to operate them.
1t will she'll corn, saw wood, sharp
en- tools, milk cows, clip the stock,
shear the sheep, run the churn, OF
separator, pump water, and assist in
the homework. Constructed with q
five-horsepower engine, it is capable
Of taking care of all farm power needs
outside of the tractor class. 1t can
easily be throttled down to two horse
power for the lighter work.
