There are at present a large number of unemployed in Be- midji, although this city is much better off in this respect than many other places even larger, and work for them should at least mean something. . An oppprtunity is offered every voter to look over the Bix- by avenue site as well: as the Irvine avenue site before the spe- ci.al election tomorrow. Those who are in doubt but that the Bixby avenue site will prove to be the better are urged to in- spect the sites before voting. Every vater should look the situation over before going to the polls and not be misled by any individual or individuals! just before casting the ballot. Every person in Bemidji who is eligible to vote on this project should feel it his or her duty to| vote one way or the other after the polls are opened at’ 3 o’clock tomorrow afternoon, The school board has arranged to have the voting place at| the Central school open from 3.to 9 o’clock so as to avoid te-| dious waiting. Those who can just as well vote in the afternoon are urged to do so, so that those who are required to cast their| ballot in the evening will not have to wait in line so long. .Only| about 950 votes were cast at the last special election on the three sites, This election should bring out at least 1,000 more, Then| the school board will feel certain that the result of the vote| clearly indicates Bemidji’s choice. If you can see the advan-| tages of the Bixby avenue site, vote for it. If you cannot, vote| anyway. | LA TREAT THEM RIGHT s The tourist season is now at hand and a large number of visitors have already passed through Bemidji, making short stqps here. Others have stayed several days in order to camp. Still_others expect to spend a large portion -of their vacation here, or even a large portion of the summer. If these visitors are treated right, they will go away talking about Bemidji the way we want them to talk about it. If they are not treated right, they will go away talking about Bemidji also. The latter kind of talk is going to hurt the city, should it happen that they| are displeased with the city or its people. | Bemidji should always extend its welcome hand to these! strangers. Merchants should see to it that none “get stung”| while making purchases here. Of course, these visitors have| money to spend, they wouldn’t go anywhere for a vacation if | they didn’t, but they want to get the same values for their money as other people. They, perhaps, resent “getting stung” more| away from home than at home, Such is often the case. They| are willing to pay for what they get, and most of them are will- ‘ing to spend a lot of money which ‘otherwise Bemidji mer- chants would not get, but, nevertheless, they do not want to| spend their money for something they do not get. That is| natural. d Merchants and the general public can do much more than‘ they think to keep the tourist trade coming to Bemidji. One| knock against the city and its people will hurt much more than| a dozen good boosts, The entire city must work together in| this respect at least. : : Bemidji has always done well toward the tourists, but it must not stop or even pause now. Let them know they are| wanted here, for they sure are, 0. TO FETTER AMERICA Approximately 10,000 young Americans between the ages| of 16 and 35 years are to attend the Citizens’ Military Trainingl camps to be held throughout the United States during July and A.ugust, These camps are being held so that these young Americans may gain advantages of military training. The camp will be of no expense to those attending and will result in no obligations whatever toward the government. The camp for this section of the country is to be held at Fort Snelling and will open August 1. So far, Minnesota has been backward in taking advantage of the Fort Snelling camp. To remedy this situation, the army is sending a number of reg- ular army officers to 30 or 40 of the largest towns in the state| this week. Bemidji received such a visit last evening. The government pays all expenses, to and from the camp, meals, quarters, uniforms and medical attention are all fur- nished by the government. The candidate gives only his time. In this way a chance is offered the young men of the country to get a short period of military training and at the same time im- prove their physical condition, Those who have never had any military training certainly should take advantage of this oppor- tunity to better themselves and in that way to nlake America a country of physically fit citizens.

Ray plays the role of John Steel, whose love and respect for his invalid widowed mother, bring him | and his best girl. His promise is not to fight, but he finally breaks it when starvation ¢s in prospect for his mio- ther. The fight is the best which has| over been shown on the screen, and it leads to a climax totally unexpected. Among those who are in the cast supporting Mr. Ray' are Vera Sted- uan, Lydia Knott, Tom Wilson, Tom O'Brien, Stanton Heck, Charles Wheelock and Claude Berkely. HUMAN HARRY CAREY IN “THE WALLOP” Harry Carey will win new friends at the Grand theater tonight where he will tell one of the biggest screen stories of his career witi the vigorous dramatic punch and 2 naturalness which have won for him the title| “the humanest star.” ing of “The Wallop”, lis most. re- cent Universal phorodrama. 1t was directed by Jack Ford and should preve an invigorating mental tonic to those who arc beginning tc fecl the oppregsion of the hot-house dra- ma.

It contains many of the reasons for this pretty star's popularity as a comedienne of rare chari. As a slovenly, umattractively clad girl, Miss Burke is taunted by her companions on accouit of her lack of beauxs. Arous:d, she starts a course of violent exercise to beautify herself and in the meantime- invites a france. Later; whes things come to show-down, she is obliged to draft a young man---a stranger--- for her “intended.” But the exercises have wrought such a change for the bet- ter in her that the *‘victim” is tickl- ed to deatli-to hold his job. . Mack Sennett’s comedy ‘‘Don’t Weaken”, also returns to the Elko for tonight only.
