ing the term which opens September

departments are hampered by having
no high school building. The housing
committee of the school board is
making arrangements for the assem-
bly, and class rooms of these two de-
partments.

NORTHERN FARM CLUB
TO EXHIBIT PRODUCTS

%~' The Northern Farmers club will
hold an exhibition in the hall at the
"six mile" corner next Thursday af-
ternoon. Exhibits of farm products
will be shown by the members of the
club. From the prize winning exhib-
it's will be selected an exhibit to be
shown at Benlidji September 1923,
when that enterprising club hopes to
win the prize for the best booth at
the Northern Minnesota Fair.
Supper will be served in the eve
ming after 5 o'clock, for which a
charge of IS cents will be made, the
proceeds to be used for the purpose
of defraying the expense of the ex-
hihition, premiums, etc.
This is new departure which the
Northern Farmers club has inaugu-
rated and it will undoubtedly slim
ulate much interest in the exhibits
shown. A larger variety of exhibits
will result and much better selec-
ton will be possible when making the
choice for the Northern Minnesota
Fair.
Bemidji people and people of the
surrounding communities are cordial
ly invited to attend the exhibition.

E. G. HALL OUTLINES
IMPORT OF LABOR DAY
Urges Close Cooperation By
Local Labor and Civic
Organizations

After spending several days in the
city on business connected with the
local labor organizations, f. G.. Hall,
president of the State Federation of
Labor, through Labor Day state
ment, has called to the attention of
the public in general and the laboring
classes in particular the significance
OF the coming Labor Day observance
The statement as written by Mr..
Hall, is as follows:
Labor Day came to the workers
OF this country as other benefits. 1t
was woven into law in the various
states through the untiring efforts of
those active representatives of labor,
who realized that labor should have
recognition, the same as has been de-
creed of other days that have been
set aside for observing epoch maGing
decisions that men make to review
past associations and victories, con-
slider the present, and prepare for
the future. And so Labor Day serves
this function for organized labor.
"What has the trade union move
ment done since the observance of
labor's last natal day? Wonders!
when we consider, that never in
the history Of our country has such q
campaign been carried on, through
the press of the nation, either for or
against any proposition, and this of
such wide proportions, carrying out a
program of misrepresentation, Will
fication ard falsehoods, reaching into
Of Lo
school room down every avenue of
life, which has filled, in many in
stances, the life of the workers. With
trials and tribulations, privations and
suffering, and notwithstanding those
onslaughts, we have done wonders.
eve have successfully met a de-
termined effort of the Citizens AL
liances, and other associations, which
had hoped to destroy our organiza-
tons. We met this drive of the
"open-shoppers' with jaws set, I'M
finching courage, and with that firm
determination Of those pioneers of
| the labor forces who have gone be-
fore.
"And we find today, through a
realization on the part of the mem
bership, Il close relationship, again
demonstrating that our position is
right and just, and that the great ma
jority of the membership is unshak-
able.
eve have weathered the storm
better than we, had hoped for, and
the demonstrations which will be
shown on Labor's Day throughout the
nation, colors unsullied and spirit UNI
broken, we have no fear for the fu-
turc. We know of no defeat, so I'M
daunted and unafraid, we will go
marching with fresh confidence and
renewed courage to still greater
achievements
! President Hall urges close Coop
GRAFTON between the local labor Or
CARNATIONS and the Civic and Com
merce association, and is heartily in
favor of the proposed affiliation which
would give the Labor League ten ac-
tive memberships in the association.

ported that out of S21 members, only

gether with the members present

quired, and the articles of incorpora-
ton were not amended. After con-
siderable discussion, the county agent
was instructed to communicate with
the farm bureau directors and urge
them to take this matter up with each
member and request him to send in
his ballot as soon as possible.

LEGION POPPY WEEK
STARTS NEXT MONDAY

The Poppy Week" OF the American
Legion starts next Monday, May 23rd
and will continue through the 2Sth.
Orders for peoples have been coming
in continually, T.. p. Oertel, command
er Of the Talbot Montgomery Post, No.
10, tells The Pilot. About thirteen
manufacturers have already ordered
enough peoples to give one to each
man and woman in their employ.
1--WE don't expect people to wear
peoples next week." Mr.. Oertel de-
clares, "but we want evry manufac-
turer who can to order a supply of
them. 1t is our hope that every man,
woman and child will wear Poppy
on Memorial day and that this will
become custom. Because OF the sig
nificance Of the Poppy, we feel 1t is
only fine tribute of remembrance to
those boys who gave their lives on
the fields of Flanders"
Although no decision has yet been
reached Commander Oertel believes
May 2Sth may be made "Tag" day
when every citizen would be asked
to buy poppy, or rather. those who
had not already purchased one.

asked to get in touch with her and
by persuasion or in some way make
her understand what the result will
be If she continues the way she Is
going. In some cases this has been
all that was necessary, but mothers
will come to me again and again as so
many times the girls are disobedient
to their parents.
"They will often listen to an out
slider when they will not heed their
parents. Our delinquent of alleged
delinquent girls have been a problem
the past year. The parents seem so
helpless to cope with this situation.
We hope that by united intelligence
and co-ordinated effort the path If life

removed If the social agencies of our
city unite in their efforts to do away
with the conditions that tend to the
downfall of the girl.
"Only six cases where the boy has
been the problem, have been brought
to my attention. This is because the
work is carried on by other depart
ments. In each case | had had, the
parents or guardian came to me, and
ususally the request has been to locate
the boy who has run away from

YOUNG men
BUY ELEVATOR
T. E. TORGERSONs AND RAY
WORTH IN TWO NEW
ENTERPRISES

Il. E. TorgerSon, for number of
years with the Cereal Mills company,
and Ray Worth, who has returned to
Wausau from LaPere, Mich, where he
has been located for several years,
have purchased the Willard Battery
station on Scott street, owned by the
Johnson Electric shop. The two, to-
gether with Glenn Douvilie, of Mosinee
are Incorporating the Wisconsin Hay
and Grain company, and have pur-
chased grain elevator and warehouse
at Marathon as well as warehouse
at Mosinee, both of which have been
owned and managed by the Dodge
Hooker mills.
The Willard Battery station will be
incorporated shortly by Messrs. Tor
gerson and Worth, and new location,
more-desirable, will probably be found.
Mr.. Worth while at LaPere was inter-
ested in service stations and with his
experience, the improved Battery SER
vice that will be inaugurated should
prove success.
The elevator at Marathon has a
capacity of 10000 bushels and good
quantity of grain is handled each year
through it. About 400 tons Of hay can
also be handled at Marathon. At
Mosinee there is no elevator, the
amount of wheat passing through
there not warranting one. However
the warehouse has been i'm successful
operation for some time.
Articles of incorporation for the
Wisconsin Hay and Grain company
have already been forwarded to Madi-
son.
