A high tower hoist has been erected, by means of which the con- crete for the building will be poured. Footings have already been poured and the necessary excavations are practically all made. The large dwelling belonging to Earl Geil has been' moved to its new location and everything is now ready for the construction of the super- structure. Hollow tile, cement and brick are being hauled to the grounds in large quantities. Many visitors to the grounds Sun- day expressed themselves as surprised at the size of the building and some were even heard to say that though they had favored the erecting of the building on the old site, they were more than pleased that it had been decided otherwise when they saw the size of the building and the beauti- ful setting it would have when built on the present site. B The proximity of the large fair grounds to the new school will give wonderful opportunities for athletics and permit the participants in the athletics to have the gymnasium equipment and baths to supplement the outdoor exercise. It is but a short distance from the athletic field to the school and . undoubtedly the grounds will become very popular for games not only with Bemidji teams rbut between. other outside teams which would be glad to have an opportunity to use the field and the large new grandstand for their games.

SUCCESSFUL MERCHA SPEAKS HERE TONIGHT Leocal Merchants and Employes Offcred Real Treat Tonight at Merchants’ Meet About thirty years ago, Fred P. Mann was driving a delivery wagon. He had one outstanding characte tic—integrity. Being a good moral k, he was able to finance the pur- chase of a grocery store, amounting to $1,600, without any funds of his own. Then he set to work at his new task. Today he is doing a yearly business of «$650,000 in a town of 5,000 population, Devils Lake, N. D. Mr. Mann credits a large share of his success to ' advertising—news- paper advertising. 1t was the news- paper that helped him sell his first stock of goods. It is the newspaper that has continued as his assistant as long as he has been in business and it is going to be his as: ant as leng as he stays in busine: Mr. Mann tells all these things in his address. He will tell them and many more in his address to the mr- chants and their em tonight in the rooms of the Civic and Com- merce association following their regular monthly supper at 6:30 this evening.

Mr. Gowing is a potato buyer and the Beggs house is known over the northwest as onc of the large potato commission houses whose business extends over the en- tire northwest. Mr. Gowing has previously been buying in territory further south but has found it impossible to get what he wanted in that district this year.

He has found what he was looking for, evidently, and states that when the real thing in potatoes is wanted he knows now where to come to get it. He prophesies for Northern Min- nesota, and Beltrami county in par- ticular, a wonderful future in the po- tato industry, both as to quantity and quality. CHURCH CONFESSES TO BEMIDJ] TEAR!
