Critic Seldom Wins Love. It you would be loved as a ¢ompan- fon, avoid unnecessary criticism upon Bemidji IS In Big Qutburst of Hljmcmg “Germany surenders uncondition- ally,” was the substance of a special long distance phone ¢all to The Pioneer from the Northwest Bureau of the United Press just Ilefore din- ner today. It was hurridly bulltined on the big bulletin board of ' The Piloneer and set on Beltrami avenue. Within a few minutes the report spread throughout the city and pande- monium reigned. The church bells pealed forth, the fire department bell clanged its strident notes, every other bell in the city rang its salute, whistles hoarsely voiced their loud acclaim, people cried, hugged and kissed each other, wagons, cars, trucks were crowded to the guards and with OLD GLORY stuck in every conceivable spot and carried aloft turned out in a spon- taneous, cheering parade to the loud clang of bells and whistle shrieks. Bemidji tore loose as she never did before. She scre«ined with the American Eagle in his great war victory. Every flag was flung to the air and it was one great outhurst of patriotism lmres(‘rnlnod.
