OFPICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENT (Authorized and to be paid for by Andrew Johnson; $15.00 for series.) SANTA CLAUS IN: BEMIDJL . ‘Among the archives congecrated to perennial apologue dwells the legend of the lady who gave her husband a diamond ring for a birthday present. He subsequently found that though the ring would not fit any of his fingers it would fit two of hers remarkably well. So he took the hint and asked<her to wear it for him, which she good-naturedly agreed to do. Later, when her birthday arrived, he got even by buying her’a large box of his favorite brand of cigars. The government has not urged us to abandon the practice of giving Christmas presents, but we are recommended to give articles that the recipients would have to buy for themselves anyhow, and to restrict presents of candy and other sweet- stuff to children. The storekeéepers of Bemidji have made special preparations to meet these conditions. The government has also expressed the hope that the shopping season will be extended over October, November and early December, to prevent the usual pressure at Christmas, and to spare retailers the necessity of putting on extra help at the end of the year. All the manpower and woman-power in Bemidji and out of it will be needed for other things at that time. 1t is evident from this that the authorities are not only un- willing to restrain the spirit of Christmas festivity, but actually to stimulate it. We shall get lots of fun finding out the sizes of each others’ hats, shoes and underwear, though we had better inject a little discretion into our investigations. Within limits there is no reason why the government’s suggestions should not be taken with considerable literalness. It’s wartime, friends. Let’s inaugurate the new movement right now.

The Democratic state committee opens its campaign by an attack on Governor Burnquist, a phamphlet being circulated containing condemnation for his veto of the drainage appro- priation bill of $250,000. In commenting upon this malicious attack, the governor says he vetoed the bill because the state’s money appropriated for drainage purposes had been wasted. The work was improperly done, he said, and in many cases damaged property instead of improving it. e Anybody who steps on some of these drainage get rich quick grafts which have been played should be presented with the W.
