FACTS ABOUT HATS

THE PRICES Of the furs used in the manufacture
= of Hats are much higher than they were in
1905. A fine hat costs the manufacturer from Is
to 20 per cent more than it did year ago.
With the present prices of raw material one Of
two things must happen---Hats will be cheapened,
or prices will advance = >-." ~
No manufacturer can afford to sell the same
quality of Hat at the same price he did year ago.
The manufacturers of The Gordon Hat are de-
termined to maintain it's perfect quality and, if
necessary, will advance the price Of The Gordon
to cover the actual additional cost of manufacture
They believe however, there is chance that
the high price of matters furs will not last and
rather than make a temporary advance The
Gordon Hat will be sold for the present at Three
G) Dollars keeping up its perfect quality

OBJECT TO PAYING
THE FILING
FEE
Minnesota Candidates Like
Their "Tens" as Well as
North Dakotans.

That candidates for nomination be-
fore the primary election in North
Dakota's sister state to the east, Min
nesota, join in the general dislike of
the system which provides for the pay
ment by candidates of filing fee, there
can be no doubt in view of the fol-
lowing from the Minneapolis Journal
of the 9th inst:
Hennepin county has two civil cases
In the supreme court that are of more
than ordinary importance to the gen.
eral public and will be far reaching
In their effect. Decisions in these cases
are expected soon, and the probable
action of the supreme court in each
action Is topic of general discussion
at the court house. 80
Affects Candidates for once.
One case affects the right of the
county auditor to demand fee of SO
from all candidates filing for the prim-
aries before names are placed on the
ticket. w. c. Thompson, prohibition
candidate for the legislature, Is maxi
Ing the test for the party in the county.
Mandamus proceedings were institute
ed and the case carried to the supreme
court at once, arguments being submit
ted in briefs.
The state primary election law pro-
vides for the charge but the prohibi-
ton candidates take the stand that in
as much as certain candidates are al
lowed to file for nothing, all should be
allowed the same privilege. In Henne-
pin county these filing fees bring in
about $4,000 every two years and to a
certain extent Offset election expenses.
II the supreme court finds for the
plaintiff the county will be out that
much.
