During the past year, it has been the writer's congenial privilege to have three visits with Mr. and Mrs. John Germann, and they are very interesting people.

Both of them 'are hospitality personified and it would seem from my observations that their-latch string must always be out. One doesn't pave to be very observing when talking with Mrs. Germann to find that she is very fond of children. She is, no doubt, one of the real mothers in life without having given birth to any child She informed me that she is going to adopt one or two children just as soon as she can find them If any reader knows of any child or children who has to board out, they could find no better home or parents than Mr. and Mrs.

Germann. They are located near a school and have a fine home Mr. Germann's hobby in life has been to see the world and he has seen a whole lot of it and has absorbed the very best of the history, art, literature of all the cities and countries he has been in and what is still better, he can pass along his education. He was born in Austria in the late eighties. He is a carpenter by trade and he has let his job educate him.

He has been in nearly all the Euiopean countiies, including the Holy Land, and since 1914 has lived in America. He attended the Passion Play in Oberamergan in 1900 and 1910 and he can hold his visitors spellbound while telling them of that wonderful drama of the Life oi Christ as portrayed at Oberamergan After a tew months of travel this country he landed in Dubuque, Iowa, where he met his faie Mrs Germann was at that time the proprietress of a boarding house and he went to live there Now, it did not take for them to discover that each loved tthe country and farm life and as Nick McCartney had been writing his sister inviting stories about Liberty, she passed the information on to Mr. Germann, who btraightway came and bought the Becker place Miss McCartney followed later and upon her arrival in Bemidji was married to Mr. Germann In the two years they have lived on the place, he has put up several fine buildings and has cleared 20 acres of land besides doing much carpenter work both for his neighbors and the school district With this industrial record, one cannot question the practical side of Mr. Germann's nature as well as the idealistic Mrs.

Camps are being erected. Robert Stai is digging a well. It is probably due to these activities that the Red Lake road has put in a siding there.
