OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS P M BELTRAMI BONDS BRING PREMIUM There were some people who appeared surprised when the remaining $250,000 road bonds of the $350,000 issue were sold in a lump sum to a St. Paul trust company and a Cass Lake state bank, the purchasers paying around $2,000for-the privilege of getting the lump sum, while another was a close second. i The successful bidders came to the bid opening with the idea of getting what they were after. They had no hesitancy about the matter for the reason they had investigated carefully the standing of Beltrami county in her financial affairs and discovered nothing of which to be afraid. They said so. The fact that the government has furnished the county with federal aid amounting to $90,000 for its road work, shows the soundness of the transaction, the bonds running for ten years at 5% per cent.® d For some unknown reason the price of material has soared skyward and other counties are- having their difficulties. Bel- trami will unquestionably wisely make her road expenditures and the work be well done. SN WOMEN’S MINIMUM WAGE LAW SOON EFFECTIVE ‘While other states have failed miserably in adopting a minimum wage law for women and minors, together with safe- guards surrounding, Minnesota’s new law will soon be in ef- fect, and without doubt will be of great benefit to all con- cerned. Decent, living wages for fatherless and motherless and homeless women and girls is a necessity. Watchfulness over the ambitious boy is also a necessary adjutant. With good wages, enabling the women, who are obliged to work for a living to embrace better environment, there will be a lessen- ing to the tendency for devious paths and the more proper entertainment with improved attire, which should bring about a marked change in appearance and spirit. And the crushing of a young boy’s life will be a thing of the past and he will have the opportunity of growing into a robust man and capable citizen, in whatever his calling may be. ' e e . COUNTY HOME IS URGENT NEED Beltrami county is to have a new pauper home, erected on the 160 acre farm owned by the county, just east of the eastern shore of Lake Bemidji, and it wiil be erected by George Kreatz, contractor, he being the only bidder for the work. A few years ago, the old refuge of the unfortunates was! destroyed by fire, and then it was that the decision was reached to have the townships of the county care for their own depend- ents, and immediately Bemidji became a Mecca for countless cases, sent here for care. Conditions along this line became more flagrant and they cost the taxpayers of the city heavily. Other townships also suffered from similar burden, and the change back to the old system o fcentral care, paid for by the entire county, was heavily voted for in the last county election. The new structure is to be spacious, of two stories and basement. It will be of most modern arrangement, equipped with steam heat, ample rooms for the use of the inmates,; windows in every room, rooms on the first floor for thosel unable to climb the stairs, ample quarters specially designed for the care taker, modern plumbing for all, spacious dining hall and every conceivable convenience, the entire building to be stucco covered. . A large barn will also be erected and the inmates who are able to do some thing of a healthful exercise will be as- signed to light tasks to help the farm produce for their own keep, and keep the cost down. 1t is coming late, the pauper home, yet with the other big improvements, the commissioners acted wisely in taking the iniative in the manner they did, in the interest of all concerned- Y) S—— Do the pennies count?. If you don’t think so just hand them to us. The extra cent put on letter postage during our participation in the war yielded the government the tidy sum of $110,000,000. 0. And how, we- wonder, will the ancient scoffers cover their confusion when they sidle up to a bar and call for the despised soft drink? ST Yes, 20,000,000 will soon be voting—principally as their husbands vote. But, bless ’em, we’re for ’em just the same. . 0 Now that the Big Four have “made the world safe for de- mocracy,” let’s have a few Big Somebodys make the United States safe for the people who want to eat. 0. _—— star, will appear at the Elko theatre tonight and tomorrow, with Herbert Rawlinson as the leading man.

When a sixteen year old girl is kidnaped by a man she neither knows nor cares for and is forced to marry him and thereafter leaves her husband without even knowing his ‘name, it is to be expected that interesting developnients will occur. This is amply proved by the story of ‘‘Good Gracious, Annabelle!” which Billie Burke, the dainty Paramount star, has an entirely different role from that of her preceding pictures in her latest picture ‘“Rustling a Bride” which will be displayed at the Elko - theatre Wednesday and Thursday next.
