A Iarge number of people who have been living in the comfortable be- 116t that they were full fledged American citizens have suddenly come to discover that they'are aliens. This applies even to-many well known men - who for years have been perfor the customary duties-of & citizen, by voting at elections, fllling local, 8 ate or federal offices, and in othgr waye. |- " *"'In one of the cities of the state lives a venerable postmaster who has passed the three score and ten, and has been looked upon as a model citizen; |. yet he is still an alien, though he has never suspected it until now. i3 All who have believed themselves to be A:_nquclns,,tby right, and have tried to be'good Americans to all intents and purposes will lose no’tlme in| call themselves, n taking steps to acquire.or perfect their citizenship.

Some own or hold 1and in:large;blocks, but the majority are men, who have in- vested their savings in land, especially in the northern part of the state. The most numerous group of this class’is made up of so:called ‘““Austrians,” a term including many nationalities, such as Austrians in the narrowest sense, Bohemians, Slovaks, Croatians, Austrians, Galicians, and many oth- ers, Finns, Swedes and Norwegians form ofher strong groups of alien land holders.

Bemidji is the city in which it is to be held this time.' 3 ’ ¥ " With the coming of the thousand or more delegates, will come repre- _ gentatives from practically eyery city, town and village in half the state, _including Minneapolis, and it is up to Bemidji to lend the heartiest co- openthiq possible, for it will serve as one of the biggest advertising hoosts ever received by this city. : It 18 up to Bemidji to ‘‘show ’em” that she is the livest prqponqon of her sizé in the state, and cities many times her size. And she_can do it. It will be the first visit hundreds of delegates will have made to Be-| midji and Bemidji should look her prettiest for the occasion, and her people should:show the strangers within our gates the spirit that has made . Bemidji what she is—the City of Enterprise, and a_good place to live in anq engage in business. % to rolling prairie {eglon of bitter wing several months in the mountains, there'is not a month when frost is uuex'neé{‘ed and snow falls as lgte as June. the last flake has disappenred the hill- sides flame almost overnight with wild, flowers. ‘The splendor of them contin- ues throughout the short summer, one brilliant * shade succeeding another.

Peterson volunteered to take hold of the Bemidji band and attempt a reorganization, he found himself facing seven mem- bers whohad hung on, determined not to allow the organization to become _effaced. Jt was_a dismal outlook but Director Peterson tackled the job and together with his faithful bandmen the campaign for a representative band for Bemidji commenced. » ¥ It didn’t require long before other musicians noticed that there was somethingdoiig in the Bemidji band, that it was commencing to perk up like the rédl thing and they, too, lent their aid. .OfticdPs were elected and Clyde Petrie became the manager. He, too, 8ot on thdijobiand, to make a Iong story short, the band musters about 30 . pieces, wilth' a‘good start toward new uniforms. i Then:came the glad news that the Bemidji band has been designated the mlllta‘i. band of the Eleventh Battalion, Minnesota Home Guards, and all becaus 1::_*3‘3 rejuvenated and conducted on sound fbusiness principles, and the right spirit. s 3 cap ¥ . | den and Bemidji.

NOT GO AFTER INDUSTRIES? ‘With ;the ‘prospect excellent for the Short Turn Tractor company lo- cating in Bemidji, it again brings home to us a fact that is being- neg- lected, and thatis inducing industries to locate in Bemidji. Bemidji’ has everything to claim the attention of\ industries = ger- main to this part of the country, and wiff the advantages available in sites, shipping, healthfulness and labor, outlets in every direction and to all points of the country. It doesn’t have to be a huge industry to claim attention. Several small ones.are better than everything centered in one, for it means wider variety, and using all classes of labor. A little harder punching and we believe more factories could be in- duced to locate in Bemidji. Again, why not a factory zone as well as ozone? PSR 3 The campaign started by the Lutheran Church of America to raise a wartime fund of $750,000 for thebenefit of the Lutherans in service is a most worthy undertaking. There are 160,000 Lutheran men with the colors, and every Lutheran church member is expected to contribute to the fund.
