With figures indicating an increase in population in Bemidji of 8.8 per cent during the past two,years, the second edition of the John Ley city directory made appearance Monday afternoon. The book is a few pages smaller than the first edition, owing to the abbreviations used but contains an increase of b smes. The pop- ulation of Bemidji is given as 6,620. Nymore is given 893, making a total population here of 7,513. * Ed May Furnish Gravel Stating that his road would be willing to furnish one-third of the gravel nccessary for ‘the paving of the Nymore road, 'W. H. Gemmel yesterday advised the Council and the Commercial club to take the mat- ter up with the Great Northern, Soo and M. & I officials. Action in the matter was taken by the council last night and President Johnson and Mayor Malzahn “were instructed to sign a letter with the commercial club, - - .

SWING' WITH ‘RINGING BELLS Men of Nerve ‘Requiréd to Call the Faithful of Spanish City to Their Duties. i In ordinary circumstances bell ring- ing 1s a peaceful occupation to which white-hairéd, venerable men seem Iideally suited. ~But the men who ring the ‘bells In the famous Giralda of Se- ville must -be young men of unusual agility and steadiness of nerve. ‘When the city is to make merry on fenst ‘days. the. ringers climb to the belfry, and then, by the aid of a rope and steps cut in the wall of the tower, each mounts to the bell he is to ring, and stands astride its brazen shoul- ders. Then he presses the bell with his_feet, holding on to the crossplece on which it Is swiing. Gradually the great bell ‘sways to the movement 'of the man astride it, untll .it acquires a momentum that swings -the hammer, first gently, and then with 'increasing force, as the sweep of the bell widens, until the air 18 trembling with the blows that strike the massive sides. The riders bend and rise and fall with the-action of the bells, now ap- pearing to the observer from the street to be in a horizontal position as the bell reachies the limif of its swing, and again rlaing gracefully ‘to ‘an upright position as the monster sways back- ward with another thundering note. The most extraordinary part of the daring performance is the sight of the bell ringer calmly swaying ‘the beli while it hangs far out of the belfry over the city; for the outward swing sends the counterpoise with the ringer into space beyond the arch, THOUGHT MADE HER NERVOUS Woman Undergoing' '“Beauty Treat. ‘ment” Obsessed With: Possibilities of ‘Dire ‘Disaster.

While she was waiting her turn her thin hands twitched with un- pleasant auticipation” of the mysteri- ous process ahead, the New York Sun states. ~ In time she was led to the cubicle containing. the equipment of trans- formation. She seemed to shudder as she looked at the nickel apparatus suspended from the celling with its ap- pendage of 30 or 40 tubes. After the shampoo strands of her hair were done up into curlers which were inserted snugly into a score of individual tubes, she found herself trussed up as neatly and completely as a pig on the block. Then the electric: current was switched on. She screnmed once, she screamed twice, and then she allowed no sense of rhythm to spoil a succession of Bereams.

MAKING STRONG FIGHT _ T0 BEAT SENATOR REED (Continued From Page 1) his own political record .and chal- lenging that of Long’s, ( The Republican situation is more complicated. Seven candidates filed to have their names placed on the ballot for submission to the voters at ‘the primary August 1, p They are R. R. Brewster, Kansas City 'lawyer; State Senator David Proctor, Kansas City; Attorney Gen- eral ‘Jesse ‘W. Barrett; John C. McKinley, former licutenant gover- |: nor;. William Sacks, -St. Louis mil- lionaire banker; Colonel John H. Parker Commandant ‘of the seventh army corps arca, and Sterling P. Bond, St. Louis. The nomination today apparently lies between the first four named. None can be strictly be termed the “old guard” candidate. = Brewster, who took the stump for Roosevelt enjoys the support of every Kansas City ncwspaper, that of Governor, jArthur M. Hyde|. and presumably the state organization. He also has the backing of the Kansas City “house cleaning” element and is favored by many St. Louis repub- Hcan leaders. Proctor, who has waged a vig- orous campaign declares he ‘will car- 1y 75 per cent of the counties of the state, But the democratic _ senatorial contest apparently far overshadows interest in the republican fight. So strenuous has been Reed’s stump- ing tour that early in June his backérs feared he might suffer a physical breakdown, when he was forced to quit peaking one night in “the middle” of 'an -address. He rallied overnight .however, and has since taken up the fight more vig- orously than pbefore.
