~ PAULSON ‘ v ?fh“-.‘,‘"...." PAIDOFFICIAL -At Meeting on - Wq;lne;day ' Farmers Appeared in Favor FARM BUREAU DRIVE. 0 "FIRST WEEK IN- JUNE Efforts Wlll ge'Made to Secure .. 1,000 Mémbers for. Farm Bureau in County . In response to a call for a meeting about 40 officers and directors’ of farmers’ associations and township committeemen met Wednesday after- ‘noon in the commissioner’s room at the court house.. H. L. Arnold was ‘chosen chairman of the meeting and the County Agent Dvoracek, secre- - tary. H..L. Arnold briefly explained.the purpose of the meeting as being a frank and free discussion of ‘the pos- sibility of employing a paid secretary for all associations. A. E. Witting, “representing the Livestock Breeders’ .expressed himself in favor of such an arrangement. He also reported pro- gress inthe sales pavilion’in the way of a promise of the lease on a part of the fair grounds for a long period From the county commissioners in re- turn for the use of the pavilion dur- ing the county fair. C.F. Schroeder expressed doubt as to the possibility of obtaining a man to represent all associations adequately.. The County -Agent explained further the need.of . someone. to look after the interests = "ot "the -varlous-organizatiins ‘contin~ aally, in cooperation . and consulta- jith the regular-officers -of ‘the yrganizatfon.” This “would keep the rganizations active. 'He also poiat- ‘ed out clearly that a paid secretary would -in nowise displace’ the duly «elected secretary. ~ The possibility of combining the office of the boys’ and girls’ club leader with this secretary- ship was also suggested. He predict- ed, in the near future, the: employ- anent of experts as_executive secre- taries for the various farmers’ organ- jzations; and considered the employ- ment of a joint secretary a step in :that direction. The farmers present ‘were called on in turn for an ex- pression of their opinion which was generall*tavorable to this plan. The :point_of .employing this secretary as ‘agsistant. to the county agent. was especially favored. H. M. Clark . :spoke on the need, value and future influence of the sales pavilion, em- phasizing the fact that it will be a Dbig enough job .t. once.to require a competent man for full time. This was heartily agreed to after further discussion favoring the -em- ployment of an assistant to the coun- 1ty -agent who would act as secretary for the associations. ~The subject ‘was dropped with instructions that the representatives of the various or- ganizations present, the matter to their constituents and report at a later meeting. The .question of’ a membership Alrive for the Farm Bureau was taken ap.- A. E. Rako sounded. the key- tote of the meeting with a plea for added support to the Farm Bureau movement in the way of, a’ member- .ship of 1,000 for the present year. Every one present expressed ‘a will- ~ingness to put in time and effort to reach the goal. Pamphlets contain- ing the articles of incorporation and “reagons for being a member of the bureau will be. printed and mailed out to every farmer in the county. The first week.in June was set for the drive when a.concentratedgand deterntined effort will be mad® to reach the goal set.” This drive should Thave the support of everyone ip the county.

A large and appreciative audience witnessed the May, Festival so suc- cessfully given last night by ..e Phy- sical Education classes at the Normal school, including the aesthetic danc- ing. class of the high school girls. In spite of the strong wind which made it difficult. to give some of the exercises, the results were excellent. All of the work had been taught in the regular gymnasium courses and was given by representatives from the various classes. From the drills, Indian clubs and dumbell work through the national and folk dances to the final dance around the May- pole, the work showed ' thorough training of the classes. The pleas- ing costuming of the interpretive and national dances, and the delight- ful outdoor setting added much to the beauty of the performance.

NEAR CENTRAL BUILDING| pRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN Byron Benson Locates One of Nine Boxes'of Silver and Tic- kets to “The Silver Horde” » One Bemidji lad, perhaps more in- dustrious than most lads, located one of the nine boxes of buried treasure which are planted in various places within the limits- of the city. - In the bo?( which Byron Benson found was a quantity of silver amounting to something- over one dollar and four tickets to “The Silver Horde,” which will appear at the Grand. theatre!for an extended run beginning on Wed- nesday, June 3, and continuing for - three days. .This is the first box which has been located since the an- nouncement Was made that several had been buricd around the city. The boy found the.box buried only a shertfy, depth below the surface of the ground near a treeeon the south side of the Central school building. Other boxes have been buried as follows and are waiting for somejus dustrious person to find them: e on Bemidji avenue between and Fourteenth streets, one by the High school, ang on Fourth street be- tween the Lake'shore and Minnesota avenue, one along the pavement on the way to Nymore, one by the North school, one 'by.‘the Lincoln school, one by the State Normal, and still an- other by the Central school in addi- tion to the one already found. Find- ers of the boxes are asked to com- municate with the management of the Grand as soon as the hiding place is discovered. “The Silver Horde”, a nine-reel se- quel to “The Spoilers” and written Dy Rex Beach also, has been three years in the making and is by far one of the b produced. Rex Beach personally di- rected the filming of the play which promises to win the favor of every movie fan in the country. Young Benson, later in the even- ing, after being amply awarded from the first search, made another on the premises of the Central school and found a second box of silver and tick- ets hidden on the north side of the building. He is still continuing the search. Bemidji.lads should not let this one fellow get all the money an tickets just because he is willing to hunt for {t. BEMIDJI TO WELCOME ST.

LARGE REPRESENTATION PRESENTED ARGUMENT: RALL STATION AT HINES Hines Residents Heard Before Ccemmissioner Jacobsen at Hotel Markham .. To clearly presel'n their argument JiYor the establishment of a station Tenth with a station agent at Hines, a large ‘delegation from that village was pre- Sent at the heartng held yesterday at the Markham kotel before Q. P. B. Jacobsen of the railroad and ware- house commission. Among those who took the stand to present evidence tor the establishment were V. M. Owen, merchant and landowner; A. L. Swenson & Son, merchants; Swan A. Friberg & Co., lTumbermen, oper- ating a sawmill and retafl lumber yard at Hines; T. J. Johnson, post- - master; Charles S. Carter, porperty owner; and about 20 farmers living in that vicinity. At present Hines has what is com- monly called custodian service, where is jointly employed by the railroad company and a local busi- ness man, the .employvee giving only part time to the handling 0f the local freight. Hines is situated on the Min- nesota and Tnternational Railway in one of the most fertile farming sec- tions in Beltrami county and for a number of years has furnished the railway company with a large quan- tity of shipping. A small shed for the storage of freight has for some time been found inadequate for the 4 |amount of freight handled at that point. Another small building has been used for a number oy years as a waliting room for passengers. This too has been found to be inadequate for the needs of the community. W. H.
