LAND FOR SOLRMERS " PROBL “Providing returned service men with land is very much up in the air,” is the gist of a letter written by Congressman Knutson to J. J. Op- sahl of Bemidji, in reply to one sent the congressman from Mr. Opsahl. “‘Several plans are being au:anced and it is hard to say which =-ill be adopted,” continues the letter. “I have introduced a very comprehensive measure along that line, which is now before the committee of bunk- ing and currency. It is patterned along the so called “Faast” plan which has been successfully worked out in Wisconsin, and would be worked out through the Federal farm loan banks.” BEMIDJI.

Bemidji acquires new honors by being designated headguarters of the Northwestern division of the state forestry - fire - prevention campaign. . two north state districts and the sta- {)lon there is in charge of H. G. Web- ber. The Northwest district, of which Bemidji is the headquarters, com- prises the part of the state which its name indicates. Oscar Levin will be in charge and will make his head- quarters at Lengby. The office will be in room No. 8, Northern National Bank building. The younger Levin is a son of G. J. Levin, an experienced timber and woodsman. The son has just returned from over sea where he served with the marines and was gassed at Chateau Thierry. He has been working with his father when not in service and is said to be an exceptional man for the office he now occupies. The work to be done is a campaign of co-operation with the people and any suggestions and com- plaints should be made to the Be- midji office. C. F. Scheers of Akeley, connected with the fire reserve, was in Bemidji today and will return home tomor- row. LONDON PLANS ROUSING FETE FOR SUCCESSFUL AVIATORS (By United Press.)
