It is an idea that should be worth much to the farmers hereabouts and at the same time will be of much benefit to Bemidji, in that what is beneficial to the farmers is beneficial to their trading center. For illustration, if a farmer residing a few miles distant from Bemidji meets with a mishap to a peice of farm machinery, or is in need of a veterinary or any other emergent call, all he has to do is use the telephone, notify the secretary of the Com- ‘mecial club or E. H. Denu, head.of the Motor Corps, and the article will be secured from whatever dealer is desired and conveyed to the farmer in question by auto, or any errand will be thus performed. By so doing, the farmer will save perhaps a half or an entire day in loss of time getting in his crops and may save him several dollars. In these times, co-operation is necessary. It is the in- tention of Bemidji. business men to help the farmers of this part of the county all they can and this innovation is but a starter. 0 . COTS:AND BEDDING ARE NEEDED. When the Bemidji home guard company and the Twenty- first battalion band goes to the first annual encampment of the battalion at Red Lake during the Indian fair, they will need bedding and cots. It will be the first time the company has gone into camp and it is up to the people to assist them to be comfortable in every way, that they may make a good showing and receive value for their camp training. All who have bedding or cots they will loan the boys should notify Lieut. A. B. Palmer of the brigade staff, Bemidji. 0 “BEMIDJI DAY”—MAKE IT A HOTTER ONE. “Bemidji Day” at the Red Lake fair is to be Tuesday, Sep- tember 17, and all Bemidji should turn out in compliment to the Red Lake people, for there is certain to be a large crowd there ‘on that day, when the home guard and band will be in camp. There will be sports and much to see_on the grounds and entertainment for all. For those who do not have cars there will be a special excursion run over the Red Lake road at a small cost and the hospital corps of the battalion will have tickets to sell in advance. Get ready to make “Bemidji Day” a hotter one. 0 REGULAR VOTING PLACES IN REGISTRY SERVICE. If you are a male inhabitant of Beltrami county and have not registered and are between the ages of 18 and 45 years of age, you must register with the government draft registrars in your voting polls. The registry will be held in the regular voting precincts of the entire country, according to Sheriff Johnson, head of the draft board, and in Bemidji all affected by the draft must register in their respective wards _ at the regular polling places. 0.
