Iarly toccall attention to the price list is
sued from this office last week for Mr..
Divine. This is one of, and we dare say,
the most artistic piece Of work ever at
tempted in this city. The job consisted of
five sheets of Orkid cover of light shade
# green about 6x8 inches in size. Upon
1ne side Of four of these were quotations
from Robert Louis Stevenson, Emerson,
Charming and David Swing, and upon the
fifth was Mr. Diyne's Christmas greet
ing. These were printed in a dark green
nix with border, initial letter and the
new style divisions or punctuations in red.
The reverse of these contains Mr.. Divine's
catalog of prices. The cover or wrapper
was in parrot green Ornithod cover
paper and contained four pages, the first
Of which was printed with holly border in
green with Xmas 1905" inside a holly
wreath at the top in red. The border
was also two colors, the berries being in
red. The last page was used for the ad-
dress, also in two colors. red and green,
containing space for the persons name
and also having the words Merry Christ
mas" at the top.
We take great pleasure in speaking of
this piece of work as it certainly is a
credit to Mr. Divine as an originator Of
advertising ideas, and also reflects con-
siderable credit upon the compositors and
pressmen Of the Banner Publishing Co.
Good advertising pays and cheap ad-
vertising is worse than none at ALL says
Mr. Divine. This has been clearly dem
onstrated in the business of Mr.. Divine as
he has pushed his store to the front in a
short space Of time by having good goods
and plenty of good advertising.

PLEASANT FUNCTION
Held at Belding Bros. ~ Co.'S
Boarding House Last Friday
Evening.
Fine Program OF Music, song And
Reading Ending with Banquet.

A very pleasant and interesting social
function was held in the spacious parlors
of the Belding Bros. & Cos. boarding
house last Friday evening. 1t was given
by Superintendent F w. Howard in honor
Of and for the girls as preholiday gath
ering. in as much as many Of the young
ladies visit their homes and are out OF the
city during the Christmas week There
were more than one hundred of the board
ing house girls present, some Of whom
took part in the program while all OF
them entered rto the spirit Of the occa-
sion with much e3rnestness and enthusl-
asm, showing their appreciation Of the
event and their pleasant surroundings.
A musical and lite a-y program was
held in the parlors in which Miss Spauld-
ing of lonia. an accomplished violnist, took
part giving several musical numbers on
the violin. Miss Florence Wagner and
Mr. Geo Wagner sang solos which were
SO good that they were obliged to respond
to encores.
Miss Imogene Ireland presided at the
piano and she and Mr.. Charles Wagner
played beautiful duet also responding
to an encore.
An instrumental trio rendered by three
OF the young ladies Of the boarding house
the Misses Ethel Kennedy, Gladys Petit
john and Eva Kennedy on the piano, man
dolin and guitar was excellent and so
warmly appauded that the ladies were
obliged to give another number.
Miss Bessie Lang, another one Of the
mill girls, gave a reading or two in such
good taste as to show that she possesses
strong elocutionary powers.
After the program the entire company
we're inyited to the dining room which was
tastefu!ly decorated with holly carna-
tons and smilax, where a spread was
served which didn't lack a thing to make
it a perfect one MIR. Howard acted as
master of ceremonies and displayed fine
talent in this line.
Reys. A. Secord. j. w. Sheehan and H..
N. Spear we're present and made some
timely and excellent talks when called
upon.
The girls presented Mrs. Unger the
matron. and Mrs. Hendricks, the house,
keeper each of them beautiful toilet set
in appreciation of the high esteem held for
these ladies.

GIFT A FINE ONE

superintendent f. w. Howard of Bel
ding Bros n Go. the Recipient
There will be many an individual re-
membered during the Christmas tide with
gifts from friends and relatives but it is
safe to say none will be more highly ap-
preciated than the one bestowed on F.
w. Howard, the efficient superintendent
of Belding Bros. & Co. at the office
Wednesday morning. When Mr.. Howard
came to the mill and took his seat at his
desk he sped a package lying thereon
which attracted his attention as being a
little out Of the ordinary and on opening
it found it contained a most beautiful
and costly diamond ring and also pair
of gold cuff buttons, a present to him
from the gentlemen employees Of the two
mills, the names Of all who had hand in
the surprise were on card accompany
ing it.
The matter of doing something hand
some for Mr.. Howard in recognition of
the esteem in which he is held by them
had been talked for several weeks and
they hit upon the present plan and time as
an opportune one.
He never received such a surprise in
his life and regrets that they took such
an undue advantage Of him as to give
him no opportunity to talk back. He
says he appreciates the gift very much
and his time will come later to get even
with them.

The Public Library.

In A LITTLE more than a year
the ladies of Bemidji have estab-
lished and equipped very re-
spectacle and useful public
library.
To do this has taken a great
deal of work. A little more than
a year ago Bemidji had no library
whatever; today it has a collec-
tion Of nearly 1900 volumes in a
com modious and centrally locat-
ed library room, open at stated
hours three times each week
and we'll maintained. To main
tain such an institution so tt at
it S 'lall be of value to the gener. |
public is also very consideral lie
t SIX. This the ladies have done
f II YER and they plan to con
tinue doing it. But they cannot
do it unless the people of Fenidii
help them. The business men
eff the city have responded
promptly and literally and the
people of the city generally
should do the same.
To raise funds for the su pport
of the library a benefit concert
will be given at the opera house
next Tuesday evening. Every
man, woman and child who have
twenty five cents should buy a
ticket to that concert and the at
tendance should be the biggest
that the opera house has ever.

SUBSCRIPTION SIS PER YEAR
A Comprehensive System.

A Comprehensive System.
ACCORDING to County Survey
or M. D. Stoner, the new drain
age law, drafted by Senator a.
D. Stephens of CIR kston, is the
most comprehensive system of
drainage ever yet enacted by any
state.
The law is the result of Sena.
tor Stephens long experience,
consultation with drainage ex-
perts and a Sitting of what the
past few years have taught as to
drainage in the northwest. Out
side of the code it is the most
comprehensive law passed by
the legislature last winter. It's
provisions cover nearly a page
and half in the law supplement
and in point of length it consti.
tutes one sixteenth of the win
ter's Legislation. In order to
secure it's correctness Senator
Stephens engaged lawyers at
his own expense under whose
direction the provisions of the
law were phrased.
One of the most important and
valuab BILE features of the law &C.
cording to Mr.. Stoner is that
which provides that tax payers
may petition for any ditch for
which they see fit and that state
land may be assessed for it's con
struction the same as private
land. The provision of the law
does away in a measure with the
necessity for demanding heavy
appropriations from the state
for drainage work and adequate
appropriations it has been i'm
possible thus far to secure. I'm
der the Stephens law it is prob.
able that the state will pay more
for drainage work in the next
two years than it would have
paid had the appropriation Of
$15O,0OO originally asked for,
carried.
