Each state formed its Woman’s ‘Council of Defense, i which by means. of local branches reached and helped to mould the public opinion of every community.

They made surgical dressings, knitted and sewed for the. comfort of. e < “our hoys.” 'They ‘organized hospitals, sent nurses, did all they could for the well-being of our forces. The, many women’s clubs of our land showed their pa-| f triotism in ‘war work of every kind ‘and especially in work for the buying of Liberty bonds and war savings stamps. Y ~-And what of the individuals? One cannot say enough of their patience, hard work and heroism. Responses were made to every call of the government or necessity of the war. An army of nurses volunteered for work abroad or at the canton- ments. Women drove ambulances and motor cars and motor trucks. They formed agricultural leagues and went out-on the farms to work. They did canteen work, meeting 'incoming trains and speeding outgoing ones at any hour of day or night. Musicians and artists of all kinds gave up lucrative work in order to give their time to the entertainment of troops at.camps and cantonments.

The United States department of labor'has announced that moré than 500,000 new houses are required in the country at present. The restriction of building during the war has pro- duced this condition. s ol Labor conditions point to the desirability ‘of aceelerating this building as much as possible. The question is largely of financing it. = ; # . Few of the people who desire small homes are able to pay cash for them in full. A national system of home loan banks hag been suggested. These would be similar in plan to the federal reserve banks. One such bank would be situated in visited his eister, Mrs.”Ben Bymark.

One of the most important matters to come before the voters at the municipal election, will be that of whether or not to adopt the new city charter for a commission-manager form of government for Bemidji. 3 ; Bemidji is fortunate indeed that E. L. Bennett of the Uni- versity of Minnesota, an expert on civic problems for the Min- nesota League of Municipalities, will come to Bemidji Wed- nesday and speak in the Elkeo theatre Thursday evening. Every voter in the city.and all interested should not fail to be present and hear his views on what a ¢ity manager form of government means to a community.- There-is no admis- sion fee. : [UNERSTRSEEY , E— We understand that instead of putting the house in order in the president’s absence, congress has spent much of its time at the front window with a spyglass, watching the pro- ceedings of the.peace conference over the way. This means that it will probably have to be kept at work later, and sacrifice part of its summer vacation. : g ia.

Runabout, Touring Car, Coupe, Sedan or One-Ton Truck. Production is coming through in limited quantities at present. It takes some time to turn the big factory back “from 100 per cent Government work to 100 per cent production of Ford - cars. So first come, first served. The demand is big from every part of < :the eountry, and the Ford Motor Company will be impartial in the effort " to'serve fairly every one of the great army of Ford dealers. This means that for some time to come we are not going to have enough cars to sup- ply our trade, so, as above stated, those who place their orders first, will have first delivery. Probably in no other line of human activity is there a greater utility than the Ford car. That’s why it is so well named “The Universal Car.” It serves everybody, both for business and for pleasure. Again we urge your placing early orders, especially if you want de- livery by spring. Prompt, courteous service. : C. W. JEWETT CO., INC. TEL. 474 Ford Authorized BEMIDJI, MINN.
