Naylor, representative of the company, and Harding & Wha- ley.

The present company left New York early in November and has play- ed all the leading cities to the paci- fic coast and thousands have been turned away nightly in some of the larger cities. -'St. Paul an¢ Minne- apolis rocked with laughter at the funny lines and clever situations and the local people should maka no mis- take in encouraging the management of the Grand theatre in this big ef- fort they are making to put ouy, city on New York’s theatrical :map. “Turn to the Right” will come here with its private baggage car and nothing will be left undone to make the two performances Dleasant memories that will live in the minds of local theatregoers for manv a long day. SHORT COURSE FOR " EDITORS BEGINS University Farm, May 1.—Editors of Minnesota were here today to learn some new wrinkles in the art of getting out a newspaper. The chief wrinkle in which they are interested in a plan to show country merchants the value-of ad- vertising. Big business men and ad- vertising specialists of the Twin Cities and other Minnesota towns are here to tell them all about it. Not only the editors but whole- salers of the Twin Cities believe the country merchant has not awak- ened to the value of advertising. Commercial men ‘tonight will point out that the first thing a big manu. facturer ‘thinks about after he had picked his product is the advertising campaign to market it. They will urge the small merchant to attach just as much importance to his retail business and tell the buyers what he has to sell. All this program is to be worked out in connection with the annual newspaper editors’ short course which opened here today and will close Saturday. A contest in com- posing first pages for model news- papers will be one of the features of the course. One of the most attractive fea- tures of the meeting however will be the dinner tonight—provided by the St. Paul association and the Min- neapolis Civic and Commerce asso- clation. It will be a ‘‘made in Minnesota” dinner—with Minnesota beef, Min- nesota wheat flour bread, Minnesota butter and Minnesota potatoes. Other state products will also be found on the bill of fare. Among the prominent speakers to address the gathering will be C. E. Lawrence, and O. L. Shuts, promin- ent Twin City advertising special-- ists; President Marion LeRoy Burton of the university; James Schermer- horn of the Detroit Mich., Times; A. P. Johnson, editor and publisher of the Grand Rapids Mich., News; J. L. Frazier of the Inland Printer; George Hobert of the andit bureau of circulations, Chicago; MacMartin of ‘Minneapolis; M. J. McGowan of the Appleton Minn, Press: W. H. Bridge- man of the Stanley Wis., republican; I. D. Coffman, dean of the college of Education of the university and R. W. Thatcher, dean of department of agriculture, university. “TURN TO ADDRESSES NORMAL STUDENTS. J. C. McGhee, county superintend- ent of schools, addressed the me bers of the Bemidji high school nc mal department this morning. Mr. McGhee's talk was instructive and interesting and his suggestions val- uable. He told the students that they will find great value in causing parents to become interested In school work, and that better results may be attained, BOOKS.FOR SOLDIERS. Miss Beatrice Mills, Bemidji - brarian, is co-operating with the American Library association in the collection of 750,000 books to be sent to France for the American forces. Books delivered to Miss Mills will be sent immediately. ‘1ais is the sec- ond campaign of the kind, the first being very successful, and Bemidji did splendid work. More books are badly needed for the solaiers. Mr. and Mrs. Perl Davis arrived in Bemidji last evening from Minnea- polis where they have resided for sev- eral years. For a time Mr. Davis was in the restaurant business and was later em&loyed in the Minnea] lis Steel and Machinery factory which was engaged in the manufacture of munitions. He may decide to again locate in Bemidji. We Don’t Do It Now. Mrs. Deacon Philander, who had been in bed a week suffering from a nervous breakdown due to overwork in cleaning her house, -suddenly rrose up in bed and screnmed: “I must get up! Let me up!” She was restrain- ed by force. She sobbed and sald: “There is some dust on the mantel behind the clock and it has been there a week. I meant to clean it up, but forgot it until this moment.” If the physicians can find an anti-housework toxin they offer hopes that Mrs. Phil- ander will eventually recover some of her former health. Mr. Philander has made arrangements to have her guard- ed night and day to keep her from committing sulcide by useless house- work. - THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 1, 1919, FOR RENT—Fuarished room.

CHECK ON ROAD ENTHUSIASM Building of Highways That Will Not Wear Is Very Discouraging to , Taxpayers. There Is only one cause_that can check the enthusiasm, now so evident, for good roads, and prevent a steady development in construction. This is the building of roads that will not wear. ‘It is very discouraging to tax- payers to appropriate money for road bullding and .then to have roads con- structed that wear out long before the bhonds are paid off. = Yet this has oc- curred In many instances.
