P. Dyer delivered a very effective, patriotic address to the student body in the high school auditorium. Mr. Dyer cited the causes for the United States entering the war, showing tnat it was the duty of the United States to enter the conflict and fight side by side with the other demo- cratic nations for the sake of hu- manity. Mr. Dyer highly praised President ‘Wilson's speech of April 2 and even went so far as to advise that the newspapers containing it be carefully preserved to be treasured and in vears to come to be read and re-read to our grandchildren. Mr. Dyer de- cisively stated that he believed that the United States has just entered the most justifiable war in the world’s history. Attention was called to the absence from the school of four high school boys, Earl Thurber, Hovey Lord, Russell Brooks and Vernon Lamson who left with the naval militia Sat- urday. Mr. Dyer praised the boys in the highest terms for their loyal- ty to their country and their flag. The boys will be given their credits for the entire year’s school work. Mr. Dyer was heartily applauded time and again by the enthusiastic students. Letters to Militia. At 1:30 o'clock yesterday after- noon, it was announced to the high school that John DeRushia, a mem- ber of the Bemidji naval militia, was in the city on his way to join the Bemidji division, and that he would serve as mail carrier and be glad to carry messages to his fellow seamen. The students immediately set about to make the best of this golden op- portunity. Each class wrote a class letter to its representative at the front, for each class is proud of its hero, freshman, Earl Thurber; sopho- more, Hovey Lord; junior, Russell Brooks; and senior, Vernon Lamson. A letter was also written to other members of the naval militia by nearly every one of the 252 students. The letters were collected but as De- Rushia is still in Bend, Ore., the letters were not sent as planned. Boys’ Mass Meeting, A mass meeting of all the boys in the seventh and eighth grades and high school was held yesterday af- ternoon at 3:30 o’clock and the sub- ject of military training was discuss- ed. Over a hundred boys expressed their desire to have military train- ing and it is probable that some sort of military training will be begun son. The girls are also enthusiastic and plan to train to become Red Cross nurses. A mass meeting of the girls will be held this afternoon for that purpose. FUNERAL DIRECTOR M. E.

Take it TONIGHT THR CITY DRUG STORE The What You Pay For On a Long Distance Call In making a long distance telephone call you have the use of more than merely the wires over which you talk. The wires are only a small part of the equip- ment provided for a long distance call. There must be switchboards, terminal rooms, pole lines and many other kinds of apparatus such as dynamos, batteries, calculagraphs, testing appa- ratus, rep the voice eaters and loading coils to magnify currents, and other expensive equip- ment generally unseen by the telephone user. In mak ing a long distance call you have the services of two or more operators who connect you and guard both ends of the line while you talk. In addition to the operators there are other employees watching the equipment in the cen- tral offices and repairmen guarding the long distance wires. Always Ready Somewhere along the line, the branch of a tree, a strong wind or an electric storm may put the wires out of order. But nearby is a tele- phone man ready to hurry to the spot, so that the line may be quickly repaired and service restored. The amount you are charged when you make a long distance call is to help maintain the line, to facilita vestment tance, to te the payment of interest on the in- in the equipment used for long dis- aid in the payment of taxes on the property and assist in paying the employees’ wages. We endeavor to obtain only such a return on the investment in our long distance lines as could be e arned on the money if it were invested in any other business involving equal risk.
