ASSOCIATION HEARS OF
WORK OF W0MAN,S CLUB
Mr3. Baer Gives Report of
Work Beins=bone by Club;
Asks Cooperation

At the regular MONDAY meeting Of
he Bemidji Association today an in
teresting report Of the activities of
the Women's Civic and Community
Club was given by Mrs. H. G.. Baer.
The amount OF work accomplished
by the Women's organization was
revelation to many Of the members OF
the association and the most surpr1s-
ing thing about the report was the
amount of money it took to accomp-
lish the work. The club had but
mall amo cunt of money at its dispos-
al and was therefore compelled to DO
the work themselves rather than hire
some one to do it. Cooperation was
asked by Mrs. iBaer on behalf Of the
women from the Bemidji association
in matters where the two organiza-
fricns could we'll work together.
Announcement was made by n. T.
Mitchell Of the fact that 1t was de-
sired that as many as possible from
Hemidii would arrange to meet the
delegation of Bemidji business men
and others who are to tour the north
cyn end of the county on their return
at Washkish on Thursday, Goth. A
picnic dinner is being provided there
and the run from Washkish to Be-
midi could be made after the meet
ing to be held there.
reference was also made to the
work to be done on the roau east OF
the lake by voluntary donations OF
money or work. Thomas Roycraft is
to be in charge of the work. Sub
scriptions are desired at once for the
work from those who have offered to
donate towards the work.

M Is AIM OF
;'CRUITER SWANSON
1. CO 3, After Army Recruit.
and soing to Get Them;
Po Out Advantages

cer ,i is ) psto ' Put Bemidj jiD on the
map agar from the standpoint Of
army recruiting he says. Bemidji
used to have national reputation
for army and navy recruits but OF
late she has somewhat taken back
seat. Swanson says he Is going after
recruits and he is going to get them.
Many parents spend long time
deciding what school they are going
to send their son to after he leaves
the high school, There is the matter
of expenses connected with the ad-
vanced education of a boy, the tut
ton, the boarding costs, etc. There
all have to be paid for by the boy
who goes to the university or college
before he gets his education.
The army vocational training does
away with this expense. In fact the
boy gets the education and is boarded
and paid for his time while he Is
getting the education. Swanson puts
it forcibly and tersely below.
$4,000 to $134.00 Plus
You guessed it right-that is the
Army pay and it is only fair to be
frank and tell you that there are
more young men in the service today
that are on the shorter end Of the
balance sheet but each and every one
of the enlisted men are even up on
the plus. It's an even bet that all Of
you understand that those figures be-
hind the dollar sign means the
monthly pay of the enlisted person
mel of the Army 1t is also AN even
bet that the majority of prospective
applicants for Army service in and
around Bemidji and their parents

.!HARD BOILED C0BS.'
BOYS SAY THEY ARE NOW
Feeding the~Fish,' > :.Stoking
Coal" Swabbing the Deck"
"Sweepins Her Down."
Their Pastimes
(By Special Correspondent

August 16. con Board the Battle
ship Essex Harbor Springs, Mich
The Bemidji boys who are enjoying
a trip on the Essex under the COM
mand of Lieutenant Earle A. Barker
are having the time of their young
lives.
Every day but one has been per-
feet day thus far and during this
special stormy session large per-
centage of the "sailors" took to their
hammocks or were engaged in feed
ing he fish" from some upper deck.
Tie local boys have entered into
the work with pep and energy and
are now considered as hard boiled
gobs as ever sailed the seas. They
do their work according to orders,
and do it with promptness and dis
patch.
Steps have been made thus far at
the $780,, Chicago, Spring Harbors
and milwaukee. Several other stops
will oe made before returning to port
at Duluth.
Swabing the deck, polishing brass,
stoki ag coal, on watch, drills, inspec-
ton sweeping her down fore and
aft about eight times a day, are
amorg the days routine.
Where all the dirt and sand comes
from is more than can be solved, so
somr one volunteered the information
that perhaps the big fish scoop the
sand from the sea bottom and blow
it il, to the air.
G. tting into hammocks is another
"art" which the boys have learned to
do without falling overheard. The
first few nights one or two of the
timisl ones slept on deck rather than
take another try at entering their
ham;nocks without ? flop on the hard
floor.
= II LEGATIONS are that the sailors will
return to Bemidji the latter part of
the ,,eek a much wiser lot than when
they left for the trip.

WHAT DOES THE G.. o. p.
STAND FOR?

In days gone by leaders of the
q. Q. p. were wont to lay the
flattering junction to their souls
that theirs was distinctively the
consirlre%ivc party The Demo
Gratis, they declared, were never
known to generate anything but
destructive notions, being entire
~ devoid of initiative.
In the light of this interesting
allegation against the opposing
party, it is exceedingly instruc-
i've TO read the Chicago plat
form. Before you wade into the
task get good miscroeope and
then secure search warrant
from some high court Don't
skim over the document but read
it carefully and if you find a
constructive idea in it, you II be
entitled to the grand prize. In
denunciation of the Democratic
administration the platform is
plain enough but when it comes
10 presenting any sort of definite
program to remedy the condi
tions complained of there is moth
ing doing.
The treaty. plank in the plat
form is completely eyasivc. The
party lacked the courage TO take
n stand that would mean any
thing. 1t endorses the action of
the Republican senators without
regard to whether they were re-
or re-jectionists.
The country is left entirely in the
dark as to what the party will do
about peace if it is placed in
The declarations of the
platform on this point are so gen
rral that they she'd no light
whatever on the party's position
and the same thing is true as to
he other planks.
The job of the Democratic
platform builders is easy. Let
hem tell the country precisely
where the party stands ON the
issues of the hour.

BRITISH OIL MONOPOLY?

scheming to "hog" the oil sup

into some of the papers 1t was
duly "played up" with big head
lines and doubtless attracted con
siderable attention. Whether the
story was concocted by some
industrious space filler wholly
for the purpose of pulling down
a penny or two or was part Of
the anti-British propaganda
which was persistently carried on
before and during the war, can
not be determined with certaiIty
hut the effect was the same in
either case.
Sir Auckland Geddes, RSitish
ambassador to this country, took
occasion to explode the oil mo-
nopoly canard in the course of
recent address in New York. The
facts presented by the ambassa-

LEST WE FORGET.

When the war was on the men,
women and children of this coun-
/ try, without respect to age or
condition, those women and chill
dren and men who were loyal to
their country, worked, sacrificed,
and suffered in order that the
war could be won and that sol

sible to give them in the short
time that was at their disposal
During the war men took their
lives in their hands in serving
on councils of defense, an or
ganization made necessary be
cause Of the pro-German
sentiment that was scattered
throughout the country.
During the war there were
scattered throughout the couDtry
draft evaders and draft resisters
and men who refused to serve the
country because Of their so-called
religious belief.
During the war a great many
people Of this state called upon
Thomas Pryor Gore to resign be-
cause Of his stand on war meas
ures and his dislnvalty to the
commander in chief of the forces
of the country. One Of his de-
fenses was that he had received
letters from certain people in the
