Hundreds of Visitors Help
>Bemidji Legion Post With
Celebration
BISHOP BENNETT GIVES
VERY INSPIRING ADDRESS
New Armory Is Well Packed
for Dance and Carnival
During the Evening

Service uniforms which had been
carefully laid away by ex-service men
were hunted up and donned ffloay'
probably the first time for a. year,
and Armistice day took on the ap-
pearance of olden days. A large num-
Der of ex-service men turned out IN
the morning in the parade despite
the cold weather, many OF them COM
ing to Bemidji from out of the city
to help the Ralph Oracle post OF the
American Legion celebrate the day.
After the parade. at II O'Clock, the
program, as was originally planned,
was carried out in the armory. Patrl-
otto songs were sung, invocation offer
ed by Rev. l.. P. Warford, a. solo was
rendered by Mrs. A. J. Mcmillan
President Harding's Armlstice day al,
dress at Arlington cemetery was read
by Thayer C. Bailey, and the speech
Of the occasion given by Rt. Rev.
Bishop Bennett Of the Episcopal Do
cese of Duluth.
Bishop Bennett, in an inspiring ad-
dress, pictured to his hearers the high
ideals represented in the. ceremony
at the national cemetery at Arlington,
where an unknown American soldier
was laid to rest. "The men who died
i1i France" said he, "have made
barrier behind the world which pre-
vents it from going back into its old,
selfish, jealous, greedy and suspicious
ways and have made it imperative
That the march be forward and not
backward.
"America cannot go back over the
dead bodies of her fallen heroes.
There is only one other course, and
that is forward. The old nations Of
the world have been going round and
round in that never-ending circle of
secret diplomacy and intrigue. Amer
lea must strike out from the circle
and lead the advance forward, or she,
too, will be swallowed up in it's mael-
strom."
"God," said Bishop Bennett, "has
ever held in reserve a nation to car
ny on the progress of the world when
other nations have failed in the task
assigned. them. I believe America is
Gods chosen people at this time to
carry forward this new era of hu-
mainly and, if America fails, then
there is in reserve the yellow man and
the colored man, which have not been
given the opportunity Of leadership,
but which, when awakened, will take
up the torch and the white nations
will be. forced to stand aside to let
them pass.
"America has it in her power to
be the leader of the world, the fact
that she has invited the nations of
the world to come to her shores to
formulate some plan by which men
and not things shall predominant in
the world and by which ideals and not
possessions shall guide the destiny
of humanity, marks her as the ma
ton to whom other nations are look
ing for leadership, and she must not
fail"
Hundreds of visitors came to Be-
midi especially for the Armistice day
program. All appeared we'll pleased
with what the program offered.
The parade was we'll attended, and
the new armory was filled way beyond
seating capacity at the ceremonials.

Stewart Mclean of St. Paul won
every round of his scheduled eight
round main event against Billy
Burke of Minneapolis. In the second
round, the general opinion was that
Mclean would score knockout with
in five rounds. This he failed to do,
however. Though Mclean apparently
tried to hang one on Burke, the Min
neapolis lad kept in reverse gear
most of the bout and shielded himself
whenever things looked in bad way
for him. Burke took a beating but
was apparently in fairly good shape
at the gong in the eighth.
Mclean showed himself we'll, while
Burke, somewhat more rangy, never
phased him. The more experienced
st. Paul fighter put up a very clever
scrap. Burke weighed in at 1875 and
Mclean at 125 u. The bout went for
eight three-minute rounds.
George Bauer of St. Paul, 127-

Washington, Nov. l2.-(By A. l..
Bradford) Immediate suspension of
construction of all naval building pro-
grams will be one of the principal
points of Americas proposals for linn
itation of naval ornaments to the
Washington conference, it was learn
ed today.
Another main part of the American
proposal, it was understood, will be
that limitation of ornaments be
agreed to on the principal that navics
hcnccforth are to be for defense and
not for offensc. These proposals, it
is believed, form the principal part
Of the American plan for limitation
of naval ornaments, which is eager
ly awaited by all powers. The naval
plan of the United States, which has
been kept closely guarded secret will
be presented shortly to the confer
ence on the limitation Of arms, it was
learned today. The proposed sus-
pension of naval building programs
would apply to all the principal pow
crs in the conference. The plan is
understood to suspend naval construc-
ton until definite agreement is

ARMS FARLEY MEETS TODAY TO DEVISE MEANS TO DRAW MILITARY FN
NEW SCHOOL DEDICATED
AT PLEASANT VALLEY
Appropriate Exercises Attend
Opening of Newly Completed
Consolidated School

The new consolidated school build
ing of Pleasant Valley was dedicated
Thursday evening, November 10, with
pomp and ceremony fitting that event.
full occasion. The dream Of this bus
Ting, hustling community has be-
come realistic by the erection OF this
beautiful temple of education, which
is not only a credit to Pleasant Valley
but to the state of Minnesota. 1t is
the fourteenth consolidated school
building in Beltrami county and
makes this county the leader IN the
state of Minnesota in the number OF
consolidated schools.
The building was erected by George
Kreatz of Bemidji and supervised UNI
der the direction of Charles Funk,
architect, of this city. 1t is we'll built,
being of stucco exterior, and splen-
didly finished throughout. The board
has accepted the building and were
loud in their praise for the speedy
work done by the contractor.
The school building is 44N64 feet.
1t is a two-room building, having
two large assembly rooms on the
main floor, which may be thrown into
one large room. Wardrobes for boys
and girls, and Office rooms and H.
brary are also provided for on this
floor.
Or the ground floor there are three
fine rooms, one for domestic science,
one for manual training and one for
dining room purposes. The building
is the last word in modern construc-
ton, being equipped with hot and
cold running water furnished under
a pressure system atfording good fire
protection. a steam heating plant with
ample radiation. it is electrically
lighted throughout and has thor
ough ventilating system, keeping the
rooms we'll supplied with fresh air at
all times.
The building will accommodate rs
students. 1t will take the place Of
three small one-room schools in Dis
trict No. 40. and it already has an
enrolment Of over sixty.
Alec Ripple, formerly Bcmidji
high school student. and who was one
of the bright lights of the local school
during his career in Bemidii. is the

COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT
HAS VERY BUSY OFFICE
Work Accomplished in Past
Week Is Only Example Of
Regular Routine y

Many people think that there is but
little work to do in the office of
county superintendent. But those
who know about the work realize that
it is a very busy place, and, as an ~
lustration Of part of the work done
during this week in the office Of the
county superintendent of Beltrami
county, the following is given:
Besides the usual supplies sent out
as requested by those interested, there
have been sent to each clerk of COM
mon school districts, the 1921 School
Laws, the standards of the ungraded
elementary schools, statement to
county superintendent, statement to
county treasurer, all of which were
supplied through that office from the
state department.
To the teachers the following were
sent: Junior Red Cross poster, the
American Legion chart of American
ism which has been prepared for the
schools by the American Legion, Eu-
logy on the Dog, prepared by the
State Humane society; and loose
leaf classification register, planned in
that office and printed by the Pho
neer Publishing company.
The latter is something new and it
is believed much superior to anything
previously used. The regular CLASH
fcation register gives only the aver
age standings for the year, while this
new one will give the monthly stand
ings of each pupil from the entrance
into the first grade until the compile
ton Of the eighth.
During the week, eight schools
were visited. The number of letters
written has been about $50. An at
tempt was made to have the last legis-
lature pass law giving competent
clerk to the county superintendent,
so that he and assistant could spend
more time visiting schools, and so
those coming to the office while these
visits are being made would not find
the office closed. There is need Of
legislation for better supervision of
the elementary ungraded schools, and
as these schools are Of interest to all
people, friends Of education are ask
cd to urge the lawmakers to pass the
needed laws.

Opens First Session of
Disarmament Conference at
Washington Today
SECRETARY HUGHES is
PRESIDING AT FARLEY
American Delegation Has Plan
for Agreement on Limiting
Naval Armament
BY Raymond Clapper,
United Press Staff Correspondent


Washington, Nov. 12-Outlaw war
and cut armament, President Harding
urged in opening the great confer
ence on the Limitation of Armament
in Continental Hall here today.
"Our hundred millions frankly
want less of armament and none of
war; he told the assembled del
gates.
President Harding offered no spe-
cihc program. He devoted himself
entirely to impressing on the dele
gates the world hunger for peace and
relief from the crushing burdens of
big ornaments.
Standing at the head of the confer
cncc table, he pleaded for frank,
straight forward exchange of views
without suspicion and resort to in
triguc.
No pride need be humbled and no
nationality need be submerged in the
effort to reach world peace, President
Harding said. But, he warned, there
can be no cure without sacrifice.
America, he explained, goes into
the conference with unselfish hands,
suspecting no enemy, harboring no
fears, neither contemplating nor APP
pretending conqucst--bent only up
on doing only that finer, nobler thing
which no nation can do alone
Civilization, President Harding de-
clared, has today come to its crucial
test. The address was one of the
shortest set speeches he ever made.
"Thc conclusions of this body will
have signal influence on all human
progression the fortunes of the
world" the president said, adding
that it is impossible to over-estimate
it's Importance.
He expressed qualification at adj
dressing representatives of the ma
tons with whom the United States
was associated in the World war.
