The signs were posted during war times and when the Bemidji water supply was low, and water was drawn from lakes to meet emergent oc- casions. The city decided that im- provement would require expenditure of several thousand dollars and the necessary funds were secured, with the result of securing a more than ample supply of pure artesian water. Still no attention is paid to those damnable signs that adorn the depot walls. City Attorney Hal Huffman con- templates going down to St. Paul on a business trip this week and he will call upon the state board of health 41 with a request that the obnoxious warning signs be removed, which are { having a damaging effect on the repu- % 1 tation of this city and community. ] will be JT —- bhers of the na- flort to PEACE COUNCIL LOWERS GERMAN REPARATION (By United Press) Paris, Jan. 6.—The Supreme Coun- Chicago COURT and marine material from Germany R as reparation for the sinking of the Scappa Flow interned fleet from 400,- 000 down to 275,000 tons, it is re- ported. s of ex- investi- rding in the Versailles pact.
