FUTURE OF COMMERCIAL CLUB ASSURED When 2 solution of the problem such &s has confronted the Commer- elal club of Bemidjl was needed and it was placed before such men as A. Barker, J. L. George, G. W. Harawell, A. W. Johnson and R. L. Given there was not the least doubt of what the result would be. And tho result s that Bemiail is to have a Commercial club that i3 0 be an organization such as Bemidjl needs, or any other city noéd: The special committee to whom was handed the situstion and asked to straighten out the knots in the skein were just the men to do the job. And they a1d 1t 1n a monner that lett nothing further on that score. The ‘ommittes, every member, Was & business man selected to represent busi- Tess men of varled and extensive Interests. The mebers of the committce Dave little time to devote to business matters other than their own. Yot they took up the task asked of them by their fellow business men With- out & murmur and delivered the goods right on the dot. Stmple when 1t 15 looked at squarely in the face. And that's just what the Commercial club intends to do hereafter. In its plan of re-organization there 1s to be no more scattering of purposes. The first thing to be done is to irmly set the organization and this will be possible by the report of the spoctal committee. Then there will be s definite plan outlined to be followed, not forgetting the many things which will arise from time to time. The club will be composed of ener- getle citizens Wwho have the best nterests of thelr city at heart, and they will give gladly and frealy of thelr time and as far as their finances will permit to turther that end. Bemidji Is standing on the threshold of a new era. Opportunity is waiting the fnvitation to enter and she is to Fecelve that for which she Is walting. ‘The Commercial club, the men of Bemiajl who are working and work- 1ng hard for the Interests of their home city, extend to all the glad hand of tellowship and hope for their co-operation in the things that are to be done for Bemidji and all her people. BAUDETTE POSITION IS STATED There appears to be @ sentiment In cortain quarters of Spooner that Baudette In offering to consolidate the villages in an effort to eliminate & county seat fight fs trying to "slip something over" on its sister village. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Baudette realizes the necessity of harmony in the northern part of the county when the big fght for divi- slon 1s commenced, and its only feeling in regard to Spooner is co-operd- tion for thelr mutual benefit. However, it might just as well be stated here and now that Baudette 1s going after the county division whether or Dot the villages decide to consolidate Into one city.—Baudette Region. THIS GETTING UP BUSINESS Getting up three hundred and sity-five times a year as we do, & per- son would think we'd gbt used to It. But we don't. Not even with alarm clocks, cold water, wives waiting breakfas other pernicious inventions to egg us on, we don't. Folks hjve been getting up ever since the world began; and they don't like it any better than they did the the morning Cain slew Abel. 1's Just as easy to keep a good man down as it is to get him up. About the only way to keep from getting up is to lie down and die. And that don't always work. Look at Lazarus. and We saw that new toboggan slide at Bemidji last week, and 1€ it doesn't bring loud cheers from the doctors and undertakers we'll miss our guess—Baudette Reglon. Nothing to that, brother. We took a slide on it, the first in our Tather gladsome career, and It certainly tickled our gizzard, or something thereabouts, and then we did it some more. Fine biz. Better co and take one—slide, we mean. We were getting along just fine and hadn't a thing to worry us in e least for the past couple of days, but yesterday while we were at lunch at n0on & young lady wearlng one of those waists where the neck extends about three-quarters of the way downward, sat just opposite from where we were, and do you know we were almost scared stff every minute for fear she'd sneeze. While we were golng northward on Beltrami avenue yesterday we hap- pened to meet little Boston terrier wearing a green sweater. Being fond of the canine family we sort of Introduced ourself to him and we learned that he comes from very distinguished lineage. Orie of his ancestors, he informed us, barked at the Boston tea party at the time of the Revolution. Some one at some time or other sat himselt down and wrote: "It Tonk lane that has no turning.” Wonder if he was thinking about Be- midjt. Since Baudette and Spooner have been declared wet we understand there is a rise In price of bathing suits In those places. Speaking of New Year's resolutions—but why speak? Been forgotten by this time. They bave all O, yes eversbody wants peace nobody knows how to get it. Shavitch Brothers Clearence Sale ‘Begins Friday, January 1%, 1917 at 8 A.
