If Bemidji is to be represented by a first class baseball team this year, a team that will stand the test under all conditions and circumstances, every loyal citizen and baseball enthusiast, whether he be player or just ordinary grandstand fan, must get.behind the movement being promoted by the Ralph Gracie post of the American Legion and give the team unlimited support, for it appears to be up to the ex-service organization to keep Bemidji’s name on the baseball program this season. What would be better to keep Bemidji’s athletic reputation up to its usual standard, and possibly even higher than usual, than a baseball team com- posed of real men who left their game to fight for this country in time of need? Such a team will arrange games with towns nearby to plny both at home and away. In order to do this Bemidji must not falter for . one minute through lack of interest or lack of finan- cial support for both are required to make a winning team, and Bemidji in order to establish and main- tain an enviable reputation among the fans in the neighboring towns and cities must plan on a team which should be a winner. To insure a first class team a battery must be secured and this with the support which local players are capable of giving will give to Bemidji a team which can put it over its opponents. The Bemidji Civic and Commerce association has pledged its support to an American Legion team this season and the old baseball association has been very encouraging in its efforts to do the right thing by the Legion in this proposition. Now it is up to Bemidji citizens. A real baseball player is some times willing to play for the sport there is in the game, but at times considerable inconvenience vesults in order to furnish the public with this class of entertainment. If the players are willing to do their part, Bemidji should not fail the boys at this time. Several local business men have expresud a will- ingness to aid in every way possible but this proposi- tion belongs to the city and not to a few business W PRESS COMMENTS—THAT'S -ALL (By EXONANGE BDITOR) We expect to live to again see twenty pounds of sugar for a dollar, but not this year nor mext.

First Bemidji adopted the Normal, then it coaxed an armory from the state authorities, and now it is NATIONAL SYSTEM OF HIGHWAYS IS URGED Washington,.D. C., May 5. (Speci- al)—Declaring the problems of high- way construction are national rather than the concern of the individual states, the report of the War De- partment to the Highway committee| of congress, made public today, sum- marixes conclusions reached as a re- gult of the army convoy or seventy- three trucks which blazed a trail from Washington to the Pacific coast, last summer. The report recommend- ed the construction of a Federal sys- tem of national highways. Urging as a commercial asset, the need for “a comprehensive system of national highways,” the reports wvoices the opinion that the transper- tation arteries of the country should be built to accomodate the rapid mqvement of heavy vehicles during any season of the year. The recommendations of the De- partment are as follows: “First—that the necessity for a} colmprehensive system of national highways including transcontinental or through routes east and west, and north and-south;.is real and urgent, as a ‘commercial asset to further col- onize and develop the sparsely settled sections of the country, and, finally as a defensive .military necessity. “Second—That the existing roads and bridges, especially in sparsely gettled sections of the middle and far western states, are absolutely incap- able of meeting the present day traf- fic requirements. “Third—that the road problems of the middle and far western states are national rather than local prob- Jems, as these states, while possessing wvast ‘area and tremendous mileage -of highways, have only a sparse popu~ ,lation. which cannot-possibly under- take the needed highway improve- ment work.

SUBSCRIBE FOR THE All Over Town .men who are as a rulo the backers of every live proposition. Business men and ciflzens of Bagley, Fosston, Mclntnsh Clearbrook and Gonvick are backing a team to the limit this year and through the support for a first class team and is looking forward to games with Bemidji. Are we going to stand idly by and see them rush us off our feet in baseball?- We'll say we are not. The national game will be Bemidji’s game this summer and we are going to have a team of which we will all be proud. & O R, No finer message could mortal carry to those who have not as yet experienced the finer qualities of life than the message delivered by J. 0. Werntz, who spoke to a large assemblage of Odd Fellows, Rebekahs and friends of both orders at the Metho- dist church Tuesday evening. Speaking from his heart he brought home to his auditors the realization of the benefits to be derived from pledged fellowship, fraternalism in every sense of the word, and kindnéss, the pleasure returned for lending .a kindly hand to those in distress, and the living of life for one’s fellowmen. The message carried by Mr.- Werntz should not be laid aside by those who heard it. It should be taken up by each and every one that all may in turn clearly realize the true value of doing for others. The Bemidji lodge, 1. 0. O. F., No. 119, is to be congratulated upon having secured for its anni- versary meeting a speaker with a message such as delivered by Mr. Werntz. S Little chjldren are sharp, much shrewder and more observing than the average adult credits them with being. Without & doubt they have every man with whom they come in contact sized up and duly catalogued in their infantile brains. And strange as it may seem—disconcerting' as it may be—these youngsters invariably shoot true to the mark. If a man is kind and gentle they invariably respect and love him. If he is mean or a grouch they know him as such and avoid him. If he is a conceited ass he is an object of their juvenile jests and ridicule. Whatever our outward imperfections may be, their judgment is unerring and we cannot escape it. We are in the hands of our children. CONERRE S MR The “Advice to the Lovelorn” column in most of the,great dailies, is an interesting comment on the homes and parents of this particular hour of the age. The standard opening runs thusly: “I am a girl of thirteen and in love with a very handsome boy of fourteen,” etc., ad libitum, ad nauseam. The interchurch movement needs an inter-home movement that will explain what sort of fathers and mothers there are, who leave advice on such matters to the newspapers. To many the news- paper is Bible, and literature, text-book and chum, styles, manners, and morals. Has it also become the only source of education in good sense?— Northwestern Advocate.
