E CANADIAN EX-AVIATORS FLYING ON PEACE WORK v Winnipeg, Manitoba, August 22.— Capada solved the problem of sol- dier relief by settling as many as wished on the land, but at that did not solve the problem of what to do for the hundreds of after-the- war aviators, The fliers were not dis- posed to turn from looping the loop in the air to plowing furrows on the ground. So the government encouraged Canadian flying as a measure of help- ing ex-aviators. Airmen are main- taining a fire patrol over great forest regions that prevents millions of dol- lars annual loss. Scores of airmen are being used in survey work. Others have entered a new field, the fishing industry. The aviators locate schools of fish and signal their positions. They promise to revolutionize seal hunting. Airplane mail services have been established in some districts. In the oil rush, airplanes have brought the sub-arctic close to civilization. High aircraft efficiency, under the supervision of the Canada Air board, js indicated by the fact that in the last yaer there was but one injury in a total of 33,612 miles of flying. Government machines made 398 flights, and civil aviation 18,671. UNION SUNDAY SCHOOLS HOLD ALL-DAY SERVICE The Big Lake and Swenson Lake Union Sundgy schools held a fine all- day service yesterday at the farm home of Mr. and Mrs. Ole Wold. Mis- sionary W. S.

MANN SECUR TO SPEAK HERE SEPT. 12 Noted North Dakota Merchant Will Address Merchants at Next Monthly Meeting Fred P. Mann of Devils Lake, North Dakota, a man of national charact- er, who stands out as probably one of the most sucessful small town merchants in the United States has been secured to address the merchants of Bemidji at their next monthly meet ing to be held in the Civic ahd Com- merce Association rooms September 12th. His talk will be on “The present day conditions in Merchandising,” “Plans for promoting business,” “Something for. clerks on salesman- ship,” “A: genmeral discussion on the Merchants problems,” and “The ad- vantage of consistant advertising.” In addition to the above he will touch upon the cash and credit sys- tem of doing business and will throw the meeting open for an informal dis- cussion and an exchange of ideas. One thing about Mr. Mann, while he is privileged to travel about the country considerably, and is much sought as a speaker before commer- cial bodies, he is always alert for new ideas, and is big enough to give credit to the other fellow for some of the good things that have come into his life: ‘Mr. Mann learned ealry 4n his bus- iness career that it is-onething for a merchant to fill his shelves with a stock of goods and quite another to sell them, and sell them quickly at a reasonable profit. He appreciates the fact that the merchant who makes but two or three turn overs of stock a year must either sell at a higher price or not make the profit he must have if he is to continue in business, for all succesful business must have a profit, or quit, - BUSINESS INSTITUTE WILL : COMMENCE TONIGHT Howard J.

There will be a double shift of classes in the central building for the grades, one session being from 8:30 to 12:30, and the other from 12:30 to 3:30, thus enab- ling all grades to be cared for in the central building.

The churches used for school purposes last year will not be used this year if present plans of the board work out satisfactorily. A saving of approximately $7,500 will be made if the plan is put into effect and also will give the students better studying conditions.
