There is one thing the Bemidji saloon men will not have to worry about, anyway. It is the provision in the war tax dealing with the sale of liquor. Just one more week and the Northern Minnesota Development as- sociation will hold its fifth annual convention and the meeting place this year is to be Brainerd. The meeting arranged is to be larger and even better results are expected to be secured than at previous gatherings. Bemidji and Beltrami county should be well represented. Remember the dates, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thurs- day and Friday, December 1, 2, 3 and 4. J " By Over Four Thousand. Congressman Lindbergh, of Little Falls, who will represent Beltrami county for the first time at the next session of Congress, has issued a . statement concerning the recent elec- tion, at which he was re-named by a plurality of more than four thousand. The statement follows: ‘““Many requests have cOme to me Lo have the facts published in regard te the contest for congress in the Sixth district. | “Over three years ago a few polit- ical manipulators planned-to create & new Sixth district for the purpose of ¢efeating me. This would have to nass the legislature. Their first plan wae that would put Morrison county, my lhome, in the Minneapolis East side district. They could not accomplish that, so they planned to reduce the Sixth district in population below the regular. In this they succeeded by getting Douglas, Meeker and Wright counties taken off and adding Aitkin and Beltrami. ties have more than three times the — lation of the counties taken off. It makes a shoestring district, stretch- of the state and has the smallest po- pulation of any of the ten Minnesota districts. The purpose of it was to use Stearns county, with its large population, three-quarters Demo- cratic, to defeat me. It is because none of the counties loaned them- | selves to the scheme that it failed, and much misrepresentation has been made by those disappointed to con- ceal the results. “Since I have been requested to make the facts known by publica- tion, and since it is your purpose to give the public the facts,I assume that you will be willing to publish this statement and therefore send it to you along with the following fig- ures: “Icarried ten counties over Dr. Du- Bois. by the following majorities: Aitkin, 953; Beltrami, 625; Sher- _burne, 753; Wadena, 438; Morrison, 813; Crow Wing, 913; Todd, 1,001; Cass, 624; Hubbard, 484; Benton, 172; total 6,776. Dr. DuBois car- ried Stearns over me by 2,748. From the above it will be seen that my ma- jority over DuBois was 4,028. “The disparity in population. in the overcome by the rapid growth of the two new counties, which are rich in agricultural lands awaiting thou- sands of new settlers.

Owing to the stormy weather and bad roadd and the fact that Mr. Story’s home is.some distance from most of the club members, the attendance was not as large as usual, but those who did attend were well repaid, as Mrs, Story served a fine dinner. An in- |teresting meeting was held and all had a chance to meet some of Mr. Story’s neighbors who are not mem- bers of the club.

Sudden night bombardments have largely taken the places of night at- tacks. Each day that goes by, with the Germans still in the wet, storm- swept trenches in the lowlands, is regarded as a gain for the allies here, but the effect of the fighting under such terrible weather conditions is al- most as trying upon tke British and French as upon the Germans. / With the advent of snow the suf- come intense.

Field hospitals of the allies as well as of the Germans are swamped with exhausted, paralyzed, rheumatic suf- ferers from freezing nights in the trenches. Water stands knee deep in the trenches. Desperate efforts have been made to drain these trenches, but al- ways there is a fresh flood of rain. ALLIES TAKE SCHOORBAKKE Germans Compelled to Evacuate Bel- gian Town, Paris, Nov. 20.—An attack by Brit- ish troops and French sailors caused the Germans to evacuate Schoor- bakke, Belgium, which is practically surrounded by water, according to re- ports from the battle front. . Because of the flood only two roads were open to the town and one of these the British approached in two armored automobiles. It was a night attack and the Germans in the town immediately turned their attgntion to them. Meanwhile the bluejackets, who had .made rafts on flat-bottomed boats, crossed the water and took-the Germans in the rear, forcing them to flee by the road still left open. The Germans abandoned many guns,. am- munition and storés and their dead a.nd wounded. RUSSIANS NEARING CRACOW Say They Are Within Twenty.five Miles of Austrian Fortress. .
