PATRIOTIC ADDRESS AT CLUB LUNCHEON TODAY Charles Cullin Smith of Chicago addressed about seventy-five business men this noon at the Commercial club luncheon on-“Patriotism.” He urged loyalty to the soldiers, espec- ially to the local lads who may be called to the colors. “The right kind of send-off will long be remembered,” said Mr. Smith, “and the boys are certainly deserving of it. He also pointed out that Bemidji should have a Y. M. C. A. “Itis a fine thing for every city and you have too progressive a citizenship in Bemidji to be without one.” Mr. Smith-and Prof. Gilmore sang two ‘duets, all of which were well received. Messrs. Smith and Gil- more are conducting revival meetings at the Baptist church this week and will ve at the Methodist church the next two weeks. RETURN TO BEMIDJI Charles Fisk and wife have return- ed to Bemidji after an absence of about eight years. They have been living in the west during that time. Mr. Fisk is the son of Judge D. H. Fisk of this city and expects to make his home here. COCHRAN MAY LEAVE BIRCHMONT HOTEL Years of activity in the contract- ing business in the lumber industry haven’t exactly fitted G. W. Cochran for the duties of manager of a sum- mer hotel like Birchmont Beach, is the conclusion reached by Mr. Coch- ran and he frankly informed the Commercial club to that effect last evening and he suggested that some- thing be done toward the retention of the hotel and summer resort feat- ures, if it was deemed worth while. The result was the appointment of a committee consisting of W. Z. Robinson, A. A. Andrews and Dr. C. R. Sanborn to investigate the situa- tion as it affects the hotel and make a report to the club. The proposition embodies the se- curing of a manager of the hotel, the leasing or sale of the property. E. J. Willits was unanimously vo- ted into membership. He is engaged in the real estate ,and land business. The secretary made his monthly report, it being the first for Secre- tary Geier, the new secretary. Several matters were taken up and discussed. GRAY SELLS OUT W. A. Gray, for some time a mem- ber of the Gray-French company, has sold his interest in the Home bakery to E. N. French, the deal being closed yesterday afternoon. Mr. Gray wishes to express his apprecia- tion, through the columns of the Pio- neer, for the liberal patronage he has received while in business here for several years. He has made no def- inite plans for the future. ' CURTISS FUNERAL Rev. Lester- P. Warford, pastor of the Presbyterian church, officiated at the funeral of Mrs. H. B. Curtiss of Bovey, Minn., who died at the hos- pital here Saturday night. The ser- vices were held in the Ibertson un- dertaking parlors and interment was made in Greenwood.

The benefits of such drilling are at the present time fully appreciated and it will also give the boys, and the business men as well, an oppor- tunity to get outdoor exercise and learn those fundamentals of drill as are necessary in the army. It should be fully understood that there will be no obligation on the part of the applicants to serve the government without their consent, the idea being merely to take steps to organize the community in such a way that if and when the call is made for volunteers, Bemidji will have had some preparedness in that direction.
