One of the features will be the sgerving of an oyster supper in the city hall under the auspices of the Home Guard. Tickets will also be distributed to the draftees to permit them to attend whatever motion pic- ture theaters they may so desire. Each of the boys will be providec with a ‘“housewife” kit by the Rca Cross and there will be a demonstra- tion at the depot the morning of the departure. s Baudette will end the quota from the northern portion of the county, which will entrain direct from Bau- dette to Duluth, thence to Minneap- olis whe erit will join the quota leav- ing Bemidji, thence together to Jef- ferson barracks. Baudette is also planning to give her boys a fitting farewell. g Says Simms 0f Germany (By William Simms) United Press Staff Correspondent Copyright, 1918, Berne, Switzerland, Feb, 18.— “Hold on to the west front and th war is won. | “Pherein is the whole story by my Swiss impression.
