One single automo- * bile owner attended the minstrel rehearsal last night. No, there were two. Al Jester and Chad Jewett. That’s a fine endorse- ment by the Automobile club of this city. On the other hand non-auto owners are keeping up the life and enthusiasm in the play, the proceeds of which are to be used for the construction of a road around Lake Bemidji. It’s about time that the proposi- tion be dropped or pushed. The spirit of the boys who are put- ting their shoulder to the wheel is commendable, and the spirit of the auto owners is anything but commendable. If this fea- ture is to be made a success it must receive better support from those who will receive the ben- efit.
