This 1s window display week for nationally advertised goods, and mer- chants in Bemidji have prepared window displays of the various ofler-‘ ings of manufacturers who advertise their goods through newspapers all over the country. The merchants of the nation take to this plan of conducting such a window display week because of the fact that the manufacturers help them dispose of their stocks through vigorous and masterly advertising on a nation-wide basis year in and year out, and have so established their lines in public favor, by con- tinued publicity through newspapers, that the merchants’ supplementary advertising has more effect. Hence this spirit of co-operation.

As the day—Friday—for the com- pletion of the annual estimates draws nigh, the president is giving prelimi- nary consideration to the national de- fense budget of which it is hoped to lay down a stronger naval program than the United States has ever auth- orized in its history, and similarly & larger provision for the military es- tablishment than has been customary in times of peace.
