the congressman denied was the
point aimed at.
Mr.. Stevenson said in part:
did you ever hear of so many
trusts before? There is the oil trust,
the beef trust, the lumber trust, the
wool trust, the cotton trust, the linen
trust, the faxseed oil trust, the
whiskey trust etc. AS probably
most of the monoplies exist in fact
the necessity for their regulation and
control seems obvious and hence the
demand for government interference
becomes constantly greater.
PRESUMABLY the people are no
worse off then they were before but
because of the vast fields for bust
ness traffic the opportunity for
wrong and OPPRESSION are greater.
Il want you to notice that I speak
of encouragement and not the carry
ing on of industry which is not
generally the proper function of
government. OF course there may
be instances where it is proper for
the government to carry on directly
activities.
but it is the exception and for
this reason the nation has already
taken steps to prevent natural re-
sources like forests, oil, coal, and
other mineral lands and water power
site from falling into private hands.
Not that the government proposes
to invade the field of except so far
as to protect the public and in.
crease the opportunity of the in
dividual. This is not socialism be-
cause public ownership of the natural
resources will increase individual
opportunity and stimulate individual
effort.
Concluding Mr.. STEVENSON.
"As l have said the era of gov
eminent encouragement and
manufacture and commerce has
been supplanted by the era of
government supervision, regulation
and control for the protection of
the people the monopoly and in
justice, and the era of govern
ment encouragement of agriculture
has arrived.
Let us hope that the future will
see continued progress and a great.
er measure of justice and regard
to all, especially those who labor
with hand and brain in every field
of industry. The problems are
here and the resolutions will be
found"

BOOST FOR BERG" THE CRY
Continued from Page II

in behalf of Albert L. Berg of
Spooner. who is candidate for
the Republican nomination of
state senator from this district.
We feel so keenly the need of Mr..
Berg as protecting spirit for north
ern Minnesota in general and our
own special district in particular
that this paper is doing all it can for
him.
We are facing questions of great
moment; the future prosperity of
Beltram1 and adjoining counties de-
pend largely upon whether our
fight for true representation is won,
and at best it is going to be a hard
fight and it is going to take big men
to win it; men who can hit the line
hard; men who have the courage to
always stand up for US; men who are
inspired by a real, and not a sham
devotion to our interests, our desires
and our aims.
And we believe the man, who for
three terms splendidly executed the
duties of the high3 office of secre-
tary of state, who has creditably
represented his constituents in the
lower house of the legislature, who
has dedicated two decades of his
life to the welfare of the people and
who has ever been a staunch cham
pion for the rights of northern
Minnesota; We believe such a man,
and only such a man, is big enough
to assume the burdens that must
fall upon the unshirkingI shoulders
of the next senator from the sixty
first district, and such a man we
have IN Mr.. Berg.
He stands for the right things
and he has personality and an
established power what will count
when the legislature assemblies next
January. Physically, "a giant of
Noway, he is fired with .American
enthusiasm and his enemies, if..any
he has, must admit that every inch
of him is man, and a fighting man
at that.
With such a candidate standing
for:
Better roads;
Equal representation in the legis.
lature and
Government aid for establishing a
thor ough drainage system;
With such a candidate standing
squarely behind such a platform we
have chance 10 senu a representa-
tive to St. Paul who can be depended
upon.
And now is the time to act. Work
for Mr.. Berg with all the grit and
determination and enthusiasm which
you would display in any other effort
whereby you would benefit yourself
and the citizens at large.
Make the air ring with the name
of Albert Berg; take nothing for
granted. Let your motto eternally
be BOOST FOR BERG" Do this
and you will have a right to share
that victory which will thrill US al
when Albert Berg's nomination and
election shall have been accom-
plished.

At the fair grounds this afternoon
horse racing, automobile races, races
for boys and girls are being held. A
football game between the high
school eleven and Bemidji Chiefs
was also scheduled. This completes
the amusement program for today.
Fair Notes.
Special mention should be made
of the splendid school exhibit which
which has been prepared under the
direction of Superintendent of schools
Stewart. The showing made by
country pupils has caused many
favorable comments. The exhibit
from the Town of Summit was
particularly good.
There was considerable excitement
following Congressman Steenerson's
speech Thursday, when team
driven by w. w. Brown, proprietor
of the Beltrami Avenue restaurant,
became frightened at the band.
One horse attempted to climb on to
vehicle in front and this started
bis mate to kicking. Mrs. Brown
and child, attempting to get out of
the carriage, fell but were unhurt.
The fractions horse wound up
by turning completely around in the
traces. The rig was badly damaged.
G. w. Jewett gave a sensational
exhibit of fast automobile driving in
his Parker car and defeated his
Buick rival with a quarter of a mile
handicap in a three mile race.
The public schools were dismiss
sed at noon again today. All
children are admitted to free the
fair ground.
Much favorable comment is
heard on the fine appearance
good leadership and splendid
music of the Bemidji band, which
has furnished music the last two
days of the fair.
The announcement of the prize
winners will be made as soon as
the figures can be properly COM
piled.

toward the corners of the table. In
the center an ornamental fern dish
is fashioned of the ribbon about a
plain fern dish.
The ribbon is made into standing
loops, each about six inches in length.
These are placed in a row about the
dish with the loops outstanding. The
dish used may be an ordinary milk
pan previously covered with red pa
per in crepe or tissue. Fill the pan
with moss or sand. In the center
stand a miniature Christmas tree, a
natural baby tree if possible. Deco
rate the miniature tree with tiny can
dies and the smallest of red tinsel
balls. The candles are not TO be
lighted. Place few decorations and
have them all in miniature. The effect
is charming.
Another pretty center piece is made
with five ordinary tin candlesticks,
supporting five red or white candles.
Set one of these on an inverted paste
board box in the center of the table
and the four remaining candles one
at each corner of the box. on the table.
Use a small box, not larger than the
bottom of the candlestick. Cover the
candlesticks and the box with sprays

over these the diamond dust" which
may be bought, or made by cutting q
piece of tinsel rope into little parti-
cles. Make shades for the candles,
using red paper. Buy the ireproofed
kind for safety.
The shades are very easily made by
cutting four petals of paper and
mounting them over an isinglass pro-
tector on the brass shade holders.
Pull out the edges of the paper to
get the rufled effect. Tie the shades
about their support with a small cord.

Cranberry jelly, which is nearly al

glass dishes, or set In a glass bowl,

the Christmas color scheme. Triangu-

On the bread and butter plates gives
an additional little finishing touch.
When the silver is laid and the wa
ter glasses placed, a small spray of
holly for the buttonhole or corsage is
to be placed for each person at the
table. 1t rests on the napkins.
In order that the candles may last
out the dinner it is as well to postpone
lighting them until the dessert is serv-
ed. Other lights may be turned lower
at this time. The effect of glowing
candles is very inspiring TO the guests
Often the Christmas dinner must be
served in the early afternoon. If arti-
fetal lights are desired the hostess
must darken the dining room. But
there are pretty decorations from
which candle light is omitted. The
center piece for such a table may rep
resent any familiar winter or Christ
mas scene. One may buy, at a trifiing
cost, a Santa Claus, on a chimney top
about to descend. These are made of
painted pasteboard and a doll. At
