land cleaning drive instigated here
and promises to give this section Of
the state a lot more. soon after the
trip is completed and the data COM
piled. Everything which will be of
interest to prospective buyers and
advertisers is being included in the
survey notes, IL. - =. s5s ... a.
This trip is in the form of an an
nual tour, the party picking out a
different section of the state each
year. Last year West Central Min
nesota was covered. The trip this
year covers 1000 miles, beginning at
Moorhead. From here the party went
south, three of the men remaining
here today, the remainder having

spoken at meeting of the Civic and
Commerce association here last fall.
Several of the party have never been
in this section of the state before
and were surprised to- find something
different from their expectations.
Mr.. Barr says that it is surprising to
see the number of new buildings and
improvements being made on! thp
farms in this section of the state and

opinion of those who have not been

LARGE CROWD ATTENDS.
OPENING OF PAVILION

Waville's Amusement pavilion was
opened in fine style Wednesday eve
ming when a most enjoyable time
was had by all who attended the
opening dance. The new dance pa
vilion proved to be cool place to
dance, and, with fine dance floor
and exceptionally good dance music,
the evening was very enjoyable.
This pavilion is located about a
half mile north of the Mississippi
river outlet on the east shore of Lake
Bcmidji and from all indications at
present, it will prove to be very
popular resort this summer.
Dancing parties are to be- held ev-
cry Wednesday and Saturday eve
ming during the summer season, I'M
der the direction Of Roy Opsahl and
r. W. Dahl, who have gone to con-
siderable expense to put this pa
vilion into operation again. The
next dance will be held there Sat
urday evening and it is expected
that large crowd will attend. Dot
Vans Syncopators, including Herbert
Mckay at the banjo, played for the
dance last evening.

LEGION TO AID STATE i. s.s
BONUS BOARD OF REVIEW
Hearings on Claims to Be Held
By Board After Legion Post
Collects Claims

The Minnesota state soldiers DO
nus board of review becomes effec-
tive July /. The members OF this
board met recently and informally
discussed methods Of procedure to en-
pediate the consideration of state bo-
nus claims coming before 1T. The
members of the board of review are
anxious to have the co-operation of
the American Legion and therefore
suggest that:
Beginning July 1, each Minnesota
post adjutant or other designated Of
ficer collect the appeal to the board
of review from it's vicinity, securing
the name and bonus application num-
Der of each applicant desiring his
claim reviewed and forward such list
Go the Soldier Bonus Board of Re-
FMAw, instead of having the appli-
cants send in their applications sep
arately. -.s,.ts.a2} 80
The Soldier Bonus Board Of Res
view will arrange a hearing at some
convenient point upon all applica-
tons for review sent from that vicin-
ity, thus eliminating the delay and
expense of vast amount OF cores
pondence, and of trips by individual
applicants to st. PAUL.
In city posts and wherever desired
the Board of Review will hold hear
ings in the evening so that apple
ants need not lose time from their
work.
If legionaires generally will coop
eratA with the Board OF Review IN
this r,anner, both in the city and the
country, claims can be considered
much more rapidly than df sent in by
each applicant individually.
The Legion's service department at
state headquarters will cooperate by
advising post officers promptly or
hearings to be held in their vicinity
The board of review will hold its
hearings as rapidly as possible in va
rious localities throughout the state
SO that there will be no tNiscrimina-
tion in favor of any community.
