It is intended to make the three days the greatest in the history of .| Beltrami county. Each will’be a day of days for many and Bemidji in- vites all Beltrami county to come to Bemidjli and join with Bemidji in the farewell to the stalwart sons of the entire county. Other cities are planning similar occasions and Beltrami county any county of any state in the Union |and will not be a slacker in giving vent _tu well wishes, God speed and & P i I it AL R For All Beltrami. It will be an oceasion for demon- atrations. of.loyalty to the best coun- try on the globe; it will be an occa- sion for serious thought. It will be an occasion when Beltrami county can gather closely together in a com- mon cause. drawn by a bond stronge er than the strongest—a tie cement- ing her people as only true Ameris cans have been cemented from the day their loyal forefathers threw oft the monarchial yoke and declared that henceforth they would be free and fought as no others ever fought in defense of that sacred declaration. Times since, the people have heard the clarion call to arms and have re- sponded with the same undiminished spirit. And they are again heeding the call as that bloody spector raises its hideous form afar with eyes fixed upon the nation of Washington, Lin- coln and hosts of others. As in times past, so today Beltrami county will enact the same scenes as be- fore when the American eagle spread :1ler wings and shrilly called to bat- e. Harnwell Heads Committee. At a meeting yesterday afternoon in the Commercial club rooms a committee was named to sponsor the project of fitting farewells to the boys of Beltrami county. The com- mittee i8 composed of six of the fore- most citizens of Bemidji. Its per- sonnel is as follows: G. H. Harnwell, president of the Commercial club, chairman. Charles W. Vandersluis, mayor of the city of Bemidji. Dr. G. M. Palmer, chairman of the Beltrami County Public Safety com- mission. A. G. Wedge, president of the Patriotic League. T. J. Burke, president of the Bel- trami county Red Cross chapter. A. E. Rako, chairman of the Bel- trami county board of commission- ers. & On the days specified, it is plan- ned to have the merchants close their stores and Mayor Vandersluis says he will issue a proclamation to this effect.” The above committee will have charge of the arrangement of the program suitable to pay fitting trib- ute to the young men called to the colors. A feature will be a big feed, prob- ably in Library Park. Contributions are to be asked to defray the expenses and also for filling “jolly bags” for the embryo soldiers, and in charge of this important feature will be Post- master A. P. Ritchie. Speakers of prominence will be ze- cured for each day and it is planned to make the occasions rousing affairs, with the city gaily decorated and all joining in tribute to the boys who are to become a part of the huge army of defense of Uncle Sam.
