IBERTSON MAKING A VIGOROUS CAMPAIGN | Candidate for Re.publican Nomination for County Attorney Is Confident He Will Be Nominated,and His Optunistic View of Situation Is Well Founded. In his candidacy for the republi- can nomination for county coroner, M. E. Ibertson of this city is espec- |ially well pleased with the outloo¥, being very confident that he will i receive-the nomination by a hand- some majority, and his optimestic view of the situation is shared by his many_friends in Bemidji. One of the adverse statements which is being made concerning Mr. Ibertson’s candidacy, is the asser- tion that he will not do as he agrees. ‘I'his is a libel on the standing of a fearless and honest man of his word, of whom this paper can truthfully say that he has lived up fully to M. E. IBERTSON. every promise and assertion which he has ever made to us; and further, we believe that if nominated and elected, he will conduct the office of coroner economically and efficiently, and with the best interests of the public always in mind. Mr. lbertson states that he will, if nominated and elected, appoint a competent deputy for the north end of Beltrami county, which would do away with the large charges for made for the work performed by a resident of Bemidji acting as coroner. And he will certainly do as he agrees. A vote for Mr. Ibertson for the republican nomination for coroner means a vote for a man who will per- form the duties of the office fear- lessly and efficiently, and he should | receive the united support of all who desire an economical administration of the office of coroner.

The services rendered the county by Mr. Wright since he has been a member of the board of county com- missioners are known and recognized by the taxpayers and he will undoubtedly be fully rewarded at the forthcoming primaries by a heavy vote. Mr. Wright is confident that he will receive the republican nomina- tion and has no doubt of his election at the general election. French Putting Up Good Fight. George H.

CRANE & GOULD HAVE A FINE LINE OF BLARKETS Famous Navajo Blankets Are Handled by This Firm, at Reasonable in the history of Navajo blanket ous kinds stillin® existence. For generations past, however, the prin cipal type of the best Navgjo blanket has been the native wool blanket. This is made entirely, both warp and woof, from the hand spun wool taken from the flocks of sheep that graze throughout the forests and plains of Navajo land. From the time the wool is clipped by hand from the ket, the process is one entirely of handwork, and the wool never Jeaves the hands of its Navajo owner. The Navajo simplicity of life and ideas is seen in the making of the blanket, THe weaving is done entirely by the Navajo squaw, and is a process .that may last for months or even a year or more for the completion of a single blanket. She weaves her blanket when alone, or with perhaps her little child, and prefers to set up~her loom, which is especially made up for each blanket to be woven, under a pine tree some little distance from her “hogan” or hut. Here, surrounded entirely by nature, it is little wonder that she looks to her natural surroundings for inspiration as to design. These as a matter of fact, together with her traditions and superstitions, are the story she weaves into her blanket, for, when all is said, every Navajo blanket is, to a greater or less extent, but a story—an expression of some "tradition or belief. Itis in this way that it comes about that almost every Navajo blanket has some signifizance or symbolic .meaning.: The ordinary cross, for example, represents the four cardinel points of the compass; the swastika cross, good fortune; the diagonal figures that stand for the male and the female lightning—the latter distinguished by the blunt end; the cow; representing the h_orizon; the wind, rain, thunder, puoblo, mountain and n;eso—a]l are repre- sented by various figures. Similarly, colors have. their signifigance, such as ‘white, which represents security; . Prices. Through the Spaniards the; Navajees learned the use of} wo!; aad the different black, authority; blue, truth or sincerity; red, delight and joy. The durability of a Navajo blan- ket is phenomenal, and is probably its leading characteristic. Some of the best weaves are so fine as to be water proof. This feature of dura- bility makes them well adapted for use as floor rugs, as they will stand unlimited wear and tear. They are, | of course, the same on both sides, and therefore reversible.
