POTATO WEEK PLANNED
.> FOR MUTUAL BENEFIT

. -sBemidji may have a potato week
If plans and suggestion made by A.
T. Carlson to the Civic and Com
merce association materialize. His
plan is to secure orders from all the
homes in Bemidji for first-class po-
tatoes; then to secure the names of
farmers who can furnish the spuds.
Pay the farmer at least SO cents a
bushel for his potatoes and divide the
orders equally among the farmers
is the plan. If orders for 5000 bush
els are secured from 200 families,
and 200 farmers names are secured
to cooperate in the plan, each will
be asked to deliver 25 bushels,
T. The idea may work out we'll if the
proper cooperation is secured in both
the city and country. If it proves
successful with potatoes it may be
worked with other commodities.

John G. West, superintendent of
the Bemidji public schools, gave a
most interesting discourse on the city
schools at the noon luncheon Of the
Civic and Commerce association We'd
nesday. Mr.. West was requested on
short notice to fill in the program,
which was to have been occupied by
the Hon. w. I. Nolan, speaker of the
house, and he did it to the entire sat
isfaction of the all present.
Dreams and promises that seemed
almost too good to be true, are soon
to be realized, according to MIR. West,
and in the very near future the school
board expects to "open house" at
the new Northern Minnasota high
school.
1--WE hope soon to invite you to
hold your noon lunches at the new
high school," said Mr.. West, "and
for your program to visit the school
in session. This is your building
and your children are being educat-
ed in it and it will be your right
and privilege to come when you
can. Suggestions and helpful criti-
cism are always welcome.
"The old high school building burn
ed year ago last February and since
that time your children have been
considerably handicapped in securing
the right: kind of instruction. We
have opened the new building un-
der a handicap, as the building is
not. yet finished. Th:s is not the
fault of the contractors, but due to
the delay in securing material, etc,
which has been unavoidable. Within
another week, we hope to have things
going at normal capacity"
Mr. West also lnade comparison
lin :attendance at She' high school
which showed an increase of about
as percent during the. past few years.
The increase since the new building
has been erected is from neiehbor-
ing towns largely. o.,
He expressed appreciation to the
clubs, churches and lodges and citi-
zens generally for the fine co-opera-
ton extended during trying times,
especially for the chairs loaned to
the school. Seats are arriving daily
and will soon be installed, SO that
work will proceed without delay.
The high school boys glee club,
under the direction of Beth Evans

selections, all of which were enthus-
