FIRST DRAFT OF RECARVING FOR FAIRER REPRESENTATION present, is provided in a reapportionment bill drawn after the fol- lowing fashion. According to this arrangement, Beltrami would form a senatorial district with Koochiching, Itasca and Cass, each county having one representative. As a matter of fact this would give each district one senator, although every county would not have a representative. The draft is a rough one, considerably different from general expectations, and probably will be radically —MOSES E.

Neill, President of the Minnesota Federation of Commercial Clubs, and F. B. McLeran to Speak Arranagements have practically been completed for the big Com- mercial Club banquet which is to be beld in the high school building Friday evening, and the committee on intertainment have issued the following provisional program; Dinner at 7 o’clock, to be pre- pared by the cooking class of the Bemidji High School cooking class under the direction of Miss Kathern Grest. After the dinner |the program will be continued. Talk by F. B. McLearn, of Wren- shall conductor of the Minnesota Farmer Institutes, on ‘‘Possibilities of the Dairy Farm Minnesota.” W. G. Schroeder, of this city, will talk on “Farming in Beltrami County, What I Am Doing.” A. P. Ritchie, who was at one time superintendent of the Bemidji schools but who is now farming a few miles from this city, will speak on “Interdependence of the Farmer and City Business Man.” Dr. E. . Marcum, of Bemidji, will talk on “Some Propositions for in northern Housing the Bemidji Commercial Club.” T. J. Burke, president of the Northern Grocery Company, in this city will tell about ““The Needs of a Club Room.” D. M. Neill, of Red Wing, Minne- sota, president of the Minnesota Federation of Commercial Clubs, will speak along general lines. Mr. Neill hopes that all Bemidji’s chief kickers and hanger backs will be present at the banquet to hear his talk. About ninety answers have been received by Secretary Harry Rey- nolds of the Commercial Club to the 300 invitations sent out to Bemidji business men. Mr. Reynolds together with President Wedge, of the club, wish to urge the fact upon the minds of the members of the club that they are expected to send in their accept- ances to the banquet just as much as are the non-members. TUp to date it seems to be the genmeral opinion of the members that they are not expected to answer tie in- vitations. It is very important that the number of men to be present at the banquet be known so that those in charge may know just how many to provide for.
