The offer continues this A dictionary that combines some features of an encyclopedia with the regular features of a dictionary is hard to get but the Websterian has more of these features than any oth- er book on the market. Following the first section in which definitions, pronunciations and derivations are given, comes a section of synonyms and antononyms, one on foreign words, phrases and quotations, and a dictionary of legal and commercial terms. One section is - also devoted to Christian names of men and women, giving the derivation and meaning of each. There is a . glossary of con- tractions and abbreviations, a glos- sary of aviation terms, one of auto- mobile terms, and a list of the legal holidays of each state. The 1910 federal census reports are given by states.and counties and this table in- cludes the names of the country’s largest cities, Bemidji included, with the population of each. A section is| also devoted to a list of famous per- sonages. In the general section of the hook, information on a thousand different subjects is stored away. It tells how to forecast weather, gives the differ- ence in time in various points in the world, gives a table of the standing armies of the world, the electoral vote in 1900, names of states and their meanings, the metric system of weights and measures, and the value in American money of any coin in the world. .

With a special train of twenty-two cars, the James Patterson carnival shows arrived in “Bemidji Sunday morning from Brainerd. Soon after the first string of cars had been back- ed into the M. and I. freight yards, the unloading began and by noon of today nearly everything was in read- iness for the first show. 3 The carnival is occupying parts of Bemidji and Beltrami avenues and the vacant lots lying between Fourth and Fifth streets. Two shows are on the south end of the Library park While Fourth street between Bemidji and Beltrami avenues is solid with attractions. Head line attractions at the carni- val are the animal show and Nomia. The animal show is a three ringed circus and puts on a regular circus performance. The performers are elephants, lions, tigers, ponies and dogs, together with clever equestrian and acrobatic acts. The Nomia show is a musical comedy in which twen- ty-six people take part and is staged in a canvas theater. Jungleland and the annex are sid> shows of all sorts of carious people and animals. Mazzetta, the educated horse, requires a_brass band, scenic effects, and is one of the strong at- tractions of the carnival. In the Crystal palace ,glass blowers may be seen at work and they weave many curious designs with spun glass. On Fourth street, Mr. Patterson has erected a Ferris wheel. The English steeple chase is said to be the only one in this country and one of the most costly of the carnival attractions. It is a combi- nation of the merry-go-round and scenic coaster ideas. Mr. Patterson believes that it will prove a popular riding device, Owing to limited room, due to the fact that the shows have been crowd- ed into such a small place, the man- agement has found itself unable to get the animal and parade cages out of the tents and the usual street parade has had to bé abandonéd. The carnival band had planned a concert on the lake last night but the bad weather killed that plan also. The band ‘will give concerts down town the remainder of the week. Three shows were not unloaded from the cars owing to lack of space. Shows are scheduled to commence at 2 p. m. and at 8 p. m. Many have continuous performances so that if late to the first part, visitors can stay and the show will be repeated until all leave.
