eastern terminals which are in some
instances, it is said, lower than the
former rates between the Twin Cities

STORES ASKED TO CLOSE
FOR ARMISTlCE PROGRAM

After ascertaining the general
sentiment from a number of mer-
chants relative to closing the stores
on Armistice Day November H.,
which falls on Saturday this year, the
committee from the American Legion
appointed for that purpose, has de-
cided to request all merchants to
close on that day from II o'clock
in the forenoon until o'clock in the
afternoon, being the hours in which
the special Armistice Day ceremonies
will be held at the new armory under
the auspices Of the Ralph Oracle
post of the American Legion.
Any of the stores which care to
do so, are also given the privilege
of closing all day. Such action will
be appreciated, but considerable lee
way is given, due to the fact that
Armistice Day comes on Saturday
this: year. The committee and the
American Legion as whole will
appreciate the co-operation of the
merchants in every way

In Steady Drizzle

Bemidji high school added another
victory Tuesday afternoon, when the
local second team defeated the Cass
Lake high school first team at the
Beinidji fair grounds by a score Of
Z to- 5, the game being played in a
drizzling rain. Considering the
weather, there was fair attendance.
Cass Lake opened the scoring in
the first quarter when Bob Caswell,
17O-pound Indian full4back standing
on Bemidji's 45-yard line, booted
perfect drop-kick squarely over
the goal, making the score at the end
of the first quarter 3 to 0 infavor
of Cass Lake.
In the second quarter Bemidji
scored its only touchdown, marching
straight down the field, Gennes
smashing off tackle and carrying
the ball over. Gennes proved to be
an exceptionally good ground gamer
throughout the entire game. Nc
Donald kicked goal for the extra
point, making the second quarter Z
to in favor of Bemidji.
The third quarter failed to alter
the score but in the fourth quarter
Cass Lake worked the ball down to
Bemidji's 1O-yard line where they
were held for downs. Benson at

behind the Bemidji goal bu t the wet
ball slipped out of his hands. How
ever, he barely recovered it, scoring
a safety for Cass Lake, making the
score 7 to in favor of Befnidji,
where it stood at the close OF the
game.
That Bemidji high school is assur-

STATE UNIVERSITY WILL
REQUEST NECESSARY AID
University Finance Committee
Plans Appropriations at
Recent Meeting

The University Of Minnesota will
ask the 1923 legislature when ii
meets in January only to continue
the appropriation of $3,OOO,OOO 8
year that was granted for two years
now closing and to replace the
grant of $3S2,OOO for increased
teaching forces that was stricken
from the requests made of the 1921
Legislature.
This was the decision of the finance
committee of the board of regents al
meeting recently. 1t will be re.
ferred to the entire board for ap.
uroval.
As thesr only extraordinary re-
quest, the regents will ask an ap-
preparation Of $4,000 a year fo1
two years to equip a new library
now under construction, and the new
electrical engieering building that
will be begun soon.
F. B. Snyder, chairman of the
board of regents, and President L.
D. Coffman said that never before
had the University been in so good
position to show the legislature
the reasonableness and moderatness
of it's request.
Construction of new administra-
ton building from funds available
under the comprehensive building
program was voted by the board.
"Enrollment at the University of
Minnesota increased more than 10
per cent last year and this year the
increase is little more than 10 per
cent" the president said. 1T is ON
this account that we are asking the
additional $3S2,,O00 for the teach
ing force must be enlarged if we are
to handle effectively a larger enroll
ment. Today we are handling 20 per
cent more students than we were
two years ago, but with almost ex-
actly the same number of instruct
| ors.
In this connection President Coff-
man cited the loss of Professor Swami
of the physics department who will
60 to the University Of Chicago next
year. Although the University most
earnestly desired to keep Prof. Swami
on the faculty is was unable to meet
Chicago's salary figure, he said.
"This university, to maintain its
high standards, must retain and en-
courage those members Of IS fac
ulty who have become teachers of re-
nown, widely recognized" declared
the president.
New books, the cost of moving the
books in the present library to the
new library, cost of moving the shops
to the new shop buil ding on which
work is starting, together with dairy
building equipment and swine barn
at the college of agriculture are
among the items to be met from the
funds provided for the first year of
the biennium. 1t will also be nee
essary to build at a cost Of about

ings now going up. Repairs on the
