Published for, in advance, §1.50 P ———————— - BUSINESS MEN “FOR” BAGBY. 4 It seems to be a most fortunate thing for Bemidji and its public schools that the board of education chose a man of the calibre of R. O. Bagby to be the successor to the vacant super- intendency of the schools, for, to be perfectly fran.k about his coming, he has received on every hand strong comphmgnts from those even not acquainted with him. But they"re going to_ be soon, for he is thoroughly democratic and contains a magnitism that seems to “get one closer.” - S Mr. Bagby was at the noon day luncheon of the Bemidji Association Wednesday and introduced himself. An'd -everyone present felt that they had known him since Berpld]x was a pioneer woods town. And the same can be said of other gatherings. ; ’ When Mr. Bagby was employed, the writer asked one of the board officials something about the new superintendent, and when the reply was, “He’s the first man we ever had who laid his cards face upward on the table,” we “got him” instantly. The teachers of the schools are all complimentary of their new superintendent and that’s certainly a vital factor. What ‘Bemidji badly needs is enlarged school facilities to take care of the influx of pupils, for the schools are one of the greatest educational institutions for manufacturing future citizens of any community, and the time to start on this is as soon as possible. RERSSSES) M— MUCH ENCOURAGEMENT IS MET. The outlook for organization of the proposed National Guard infantry unit and the reorganization of the naval unit of the Fifth division is indeed flattering, and it appears that within the next few days reports will be sent to the state military au- thorities. i The training will be a valuable asset to those who join, and will mean the erection of a handsome armory on the lake front that will not only be headquarters of the companies but can be rented for public affairs that are for the betterment of the entire city. g 5 We sincerely hope that this will be the result and that Bemidji will be proud of their naval and guard units, as they 3‘ave in the past, and heartily co-operate with them in every etail? ] : TS Did you notice where that car of sugar was bandied about ! the country and passed through the hands of several middle- { men, according to the statement made by the Chicago food ! director, R.

This is Mr. Lewis’ latest Select picture, and it is declared by many reviewers to be the best work he has ever done for the scren. i ‘Babette is played by Patricia Pal- mer, who was secured for the role by Director Robert North Bradbury. Miss Palmer is the hoyden type, « little bit of Mae Marsh, a little bit of vivacious Dorothy Gish and a little bit of Priscilla Dean, as the hellca: of some place or other. Through most of the production she appears in rags and tags. Her father is a ne’er-do- well camp follower and little Babette spends most of her time playing about the camp saloon.

It is sweeping all before it. History does not record a movement or idea that has grown or spread more rapidly within the same period of time than has the growth and advancement of Chiropractic.
