Barker of the naval militia discussed the armory proposition, stating that there had been some ob- Jjection to locating the site at the end of Fourth street. He stated that the site at the south side of the end of Third street had been considered. This latter site is owned by the Be- midji Townsite company who will sell it for $3,000. In order to secure the appropria- tion from the state, the city —must {doniate - site and at Yeast $1,000. The armory desired for Bemidji is similar to the one constructed at Pine City which cost about $17,000. Members of the militia are today securing the signatures of property owners adjacent to the Fourth street site, giving permission for the con- structing of the armory there.

The follow- ing is his story of how his hens are cared for: *“I feed my chickens corn at night and wheat in the morning. Bran and oats are fed to them once in a while. The last of the month all T could get was seed wheat so I did not feed them any. ‘T keep dry bran, charcoal, lime and oyster shell before them all the time. Also sour milk when I have it.” Averages 19.25 Eggs. Alice Dyer had 12 Rhode Island red hens entered in the contest and averaged 19.25 eggs per hen for the month of February. Her story is as follows: “The chickens received a little over a quart of mixed coarse feed and wheat each m¢rning and) evening. Warm water is given to them at least twice per day. They have bran and meat scraps, which they help themselves to. At noon, the table scraps are given them, and nearly every day they have a piece of cabbage nailed up for them to oick at. They have oyster shells, ashes for their charcoal, and a box of dirt to dust in.” Cost is 40 Cents. Esther - McGhee has six chickens of questionable breeding and aver- Train Swept Off Track.
