Where would a high school foo*- ball team be without the girls to encourage them and provide the “wherewithal” to pay the expenses of the games? Nowhere! It would simply be clear out of it. The girls of the Bemidji High School Athletic association are loyal to their football team and do not intend to let the association run into debt. TFor several days the girls had been soliciting various good things to eat from the ladies of the city, and Saturday evening saw the result of their labors, when the pub- lic was served with an excellent supper for twenty-five cernts per plate. The association girls served sup- per to 185 people, realizing $46.25. Thefe was some expense but they made a profit of about $40 for the benefit of the football team. This money will be used to pay the expen- ses of some of the visiting football teams this fall. The supper was certainly a success in every way and the girls desire to their heartiest thanks to those who helped to provide for the supper or aided them in any way, especially to W, J. Markham of this city, who donated the use of the hall About 9 o’clock Saturday evening the members of the high school and some of their friends went over to| the Odd Fellow’s hall and enjoyed a social dance until a quarter to 12 when the party broke up, just in time for them to reach home before the Sabbath, The Bijou Opens With Two Stunning Acts.

All three of the above mentioned are famous wiinkle chasers, whose sole aim in life is to promulgate cheerfulness. Their | atheletic comicalities and ludicrous antics are most amusing.
