The movement now under way among the members of the Whist club to reorganize and to make the organization Man’s club with both business and social aims is one that cannot fail to result in large benelits to Bemidji if it is ca to a successful conclusion, It has been the experience of every municipality that commer- cial clubs and commercial unions are hard to maintain. Cd forward by the first rush of en- thusiasm they often accomplisiy great things, but it i a common experience that they soon cease to be active and in the end die of neglect. The plan now agitated by the members of the Whist club, how- ever, is one that may easily re- sult in giving Bemidji a perma- nent and an active organiz The club has comfortable ¢uar ters where transacted enjoyed and it would seem that this plan of making it a “Busi- ness Man’s” feasible one that has yet bren proposed which shall make itself active in furthering the ‘various material interests of Bemidji. a Business rried through ried tion. business may be or social diversions club is the most for an organiztion Unitea the States postal service is hard to For popularity beat. No other department of the government would be able to stand up under the avalanche of scandal such as the postal depart- ment has borne the past yecar. And the rural delivery system|* bids fair to be the most popular and the most far reaching in its influences of any of the improve- ments civi zing arm of the government. Despite the postoflice scandals the rural’ em has been steadily extended and the demand for further extensions so great that the department is at its wit’s end for expedients delivery sys until another appropriation may be made.
