TUESDAY. OCTOBER 31, 1916, Miss Beth Evans, who together with Miss Florence Levins of Crook- :ton, is touring the various cities and towns of Minnesota giving dramatic- musical entertainments is the guest of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Evans, of Bemidj this week. These two young artists have given pro- grams in various towns and have met with great success. Next week they will appear in Climax, Thief River Falls and Stephen. In speaking of the entertainment given in Grand ecently, the Grand Forks Her- : “Miss Florence Levins, reader, of Crookston, and Miss Beth Evans, soprano, of Bemidji, gave a dramatic musical recital at the Meth- odist church last night. The pro- gram, which was given under the auspices of the Epworth league, was one of the most enjoyable given here for some time. Miss Levins, a grad- uate of Northwestern university, is a reader of great ability. Her versa- tility was demonstrated in her in- terpretations of the humorous and dramatic and in her splendid charac- ter drawings. In Alfred Sutro’s one- act play, “The Man on the Kerb,” she gave a fine visualization of the man and wife in straightened circum- stances. It is an intensely dramatic play and one that makes great de- mands upon the ability of the artist. Miss Levins is well equipped for such work. She reads and acts with re- straint, has an excellent method of ~haracter drawing and a delightful, (formal manner which immediately wins her audience. Miss Evans also is an artist of the first water. For one so young, she sings with remark- able finesse. It is work worthy of a much maturer artist. Her technical equipment is splendid and her inter- pretative qualities are unusually good. One of the best features of the program was the old-fashioned group of songs, interpreted in costume.” Misses Evans amd Levins will give an entertainment in Bemidji the lat- ter part of November. Roll call was answered by giving quotations from Mark Twain at the meeting of the Woman’s Study club yesterday in the club rooms of the library. The following program was given: Paper on “Mark Twain—A Threefold Genius.” The article was prepared by Mrs. T. C. Bailey, but in her absence from the city was read by Mrs. A. G. Wedge. Reading, “The Jumping Frog,” Mrs. C. E. Battles; reading, ‘“The Man That Corrupted ‘{Indleyburg,” Mrs. W. N. Bowser; reading, “Life on the Mississippi,” Mrs. M. J. Brown. Mrs. A, E. Wit- ting, who is chairman of the com- fort bags committee, reported there are a number of bags all ready made and filled and ready to be sent. The shipment of these bags will be made from Bemidji on Nov. 3 and the Wo- man’s Study club will be pleased to accept bags from anyone outside of the club wishing to make them. These are the specifications: Bright mater- ials are to be used. The bag is to measure 8x12 inches, and is to be finished with a draw string two in- ches from the top.

Anyone wishing to donate bags will leave them with the chairman of the com- mittee, Mrs. A. E. Witting, 1211 Bixby avenue. By sending the bags from here Nov. 3, they will reach the French soldiers by Christmas time. “Save a portion of each dollar earned and you will never want; plant a tree where you fell one and your forest will last forever.” We have securea a quauntity of small sav- lings banks which we desire to loan for the purpose of encouraging thrift.

A unigue get-acquainted “stunt” was played. Each member was given a slip of paper on which s written a leiter of the alphabet. These slips were to be matched so as to spell the name of some variety of apples, such as Russet, Greening, Baldwin, ete.

Carter. " Amount paid for series $20.00). I am a candidate for Representa- tive from the 62nd district, and re- spectfully solicit your support at the election, Nov. 7, 1916. I might make numerous promises as to what I will do if elected, but quantity promrses are made largely to gain votes, and are soon forgotten after election. Therefore, the prom- ises I have to make are few in num- ber, but these few will be religiously kept, if I am elected. I do promise, if elected, that I shall perform the duties of Representative to the State Legislature purely in the interest of the people, irrespective of party consideration or political ex- pediency. Iam opposed to tie further issuing of diteh bonds in this district until the present judicial ditch law is amended so that ditches will be con- structed only where the quality of the soil, prospective settlement and gen- eral conditions warrant same. I believe the cperation of the pres- ent judicial ditch law to be excessive- ly costly and that the homes and property of our cltlzens, which are pledged for the payment of the in- terest and principal of said bonds, have been jeopardized by the enor- mous issue of bonds, and the high rate of interest paid therefore. I will do all I can'to secure legis- lation to relieve the county from any possible future payment of said ditch loans. My politics are Republican, but under the law I am compelled to make the race as a Non-partisan. I prom- ise also, that every citizen, regard- less of his political belief will re- ceive the same degree of courtesy and attention, and that special privil- eges will be extended to none.
