PROCEDINGS Bemidji had a real fistic:combat staged in the open Thurs- day, the first one so happening in considerably over a year. Like all other-impromptu affairs of its nature it came up like a hurricane and-found Chief Ripple in Nymore aboard a Red Cross truek-helping the Red Cross-auction sale. *~ “And to think I missed-it,” mused-the-chief reflectively, as he recalled the “good-old days.” —_—0 ‘A lady livipg in North Bemidji appeared at the Red Cross salvage _headquartefs:and -offered the ladies her husband, as not being worth much-and practically good for nothing else but junk, but he couldn’t be used. The Red Cross auction man- agement was then asked what they could do for her, but they saidthere: wasn’t any ‘market for second hand husbands in Bemidji. ) ) RSN 7 Why, -certainly! Any time Uncle Sam wants anything and: the: request reaches Bemidji, this city is always “there” with-the helping hand.. .

R . & /A, Dispatches from Copenhagen state that the German food controller informed the reichstag food committee that rations in meat, potatoes and bread will soon be reduced. .-Gosh! If they reduce rations. much more in that unhappy nation they will have the cost of living down to zero. R i NI Good. for those Liberty: township farmers. They have taken- off - their coats to elect a commissioner from the Third that is' loyal to the government and of whom they nor the loyal taxpayers of the county need not be ashamed. +iNow watch the little brown hen do her bittoward relieving among Jus. o Nat.Goodwin doesn’t seem to be able to impress his wives with the.seriousness of the matrimonial tie. 1i RS S, F— ‘Are you putting that conserved hour to good use for your| country? = Get busy.. - ANNUAL LIBRARY REPORT The annual report of the Bemidji, well as forming a taste for good|§ Pubtic’ library, furnished the news- | Pooks. papers by Miss Beatrice Mills, li- Circulation.
