THE EoBBLE SKIRT AND STRANGE
EEAnwEAH-

I have been watching styles ana
fashions for a long time, and have seen
some very ridiculous things-by way OF
dress and bonnets, but / do not remem-
Der ever TO have seen more ungrace-
ful dress skirt than the new hobble
skirt, or more outlandish headwear tnan
the peach basket bonnets of today.
have long wished to see some sort OF
a bonnet for winter wear, which would
protect the ears from singing winter
blast but / always supposed that we
might be furnished something that
looked enough like a hat OF bonnet to
be reasonably attractive, but the fall
hats which are three feet in circumfer-
ence or otherwise with half bushel
crowns, seem to be all the go. L was
in Atlanta a few days ago and watched
the ever-Inoving procession on Whitehall
street, and after seeing these abnormal
shapes, l decided that the world of
fashion as well as the world of society
had Just about reached the limit of
ugliness and outlandishness. in hats and
hobble skirts. Maybe the moving world
has left me clear behind.
There can be no good purpose served
by hobbling oneself below the knees.
Nobody will agree that such a costume
is practical or becoming. 1t is simply
a freak, and it seems a living pity to
cut up good cloth with such outre shapes
and sizes
The fashionably dressed -wonan--of
today seems to be determined 20 make
herself as awkward and homely as it
is possible to be- Half the women have
discarded hats, and the other half OF
them either wear shapes as large as
small umbrella OF hide their foreheads
under an inverted handbook.

REALLY GREAT EFFORT.

The morning sheet threw quite a
spasm Monday and its excoriation of
Geo. r. Nelson, the travelling man, was
in the papers happiest vein. It was
the style in which Manager McAnd-
ress delights.
After referring to Mr.. Nelson in
almost every manner they could, they
called to him as a hound" That's
nice classical language, all right. 1t
requires brilliancy on the part of the
writer to be able to compose
such an artistic lambasting. Ic also
reflects great credit on a reform"
publication. 1t demonstrates thorough
Iy the high motives which animate the
morning organ and will have a tend
ency to convince the public of the
enobling ideals of the eG.tor and the
manager. 1t is levating-inspiring
The morning organ frequently chides
The Forum for saying things about
Governor Burke-but in all it's COM
ments on the executive-The Forum
has never referred to him as hound"
The travelling men of the state will
no doubt greatly appreciate the efforts
of the morning sheet to hold them up
to ridicule through one of the mem
bers.
The many friends of Mr.. Nelson's
talented wife and charming daughter
will also feel grateful over the language
applied to the husband and father Of
these two popular ladies'
1t was certainly great editorial mat
ter and the composer and Manager
McAndress have every reason to feel
elated over their accomplishments.

definitely. The attention OF enterprise
and capital, of ambition and educa-
ton. of science and skill must be turn
ed to the land, and farming must be
made an intelligently conducted BUSH
ness. Soils that have been exhausted
or impaired in vitality must receive
restorative treatment and land must
be cultivated with view to producing
the best results without depreciation
or impairment.
All this is getting to be slowly rec
ognized, but the question is how to get
1t done. At the produce exchange
conference, with a preamble summing
up the situation in brief terms, a res
olution was adopted to the effect that
"some definite plan of action should
be developed whereby existing facili-
ties for bringing the people to the land
and the land to the people may be util-
ICED in the most effective manner"
and that "every method by legislative
or administrative order" tending to
assist the farmer to a knowledge and
pratice of methods best calculated to
improve and conserve the soil and to
market his products had the cordial
approval and would receive the
earnest cooperation" of those taking
part in the meeting. It is compare
lively easy to hold conferences, make
speeches and adopt resolutions, and
then leave 1t to Legislative or admin
istrative order" to do something or get
something done. But II will not be
done until somebody does 1t. There
may be cooperation and support by
public or Official action, but industry
and business must be developed by
private and personal effort. If farm
ing is to be made attractive and fairly
profitable as an industry and a bust
ness by a more intelligent and effective
treatment Of what is still an almost
inexhaustible supply of productive
land it must be by the direction of
capital and labor to it as they are d.
rected to building up industrial COM
munities and lines Of communication.
1t can no longer be left to primitive
conditions and methods like those of
pastoral countries. The modern era
will demand that agricultural produc-
tion,, like mechanical production be
made a matter of enterprise, energy,
training and skill in which capital and
labor will work together for the most
fruitful results

is "NUBs" JEALOUSY

1t rather appears that "Nubs' Davies
of the Grand Forks Herald is jealous
of The Forums criminal libel case.
In a recent issue of The Grand Forks
Herald there was an editorial on the
school land cases which stated that
Collins had confessedly been following
the methods of blackmailer."
This statement is denied by Mr.. Col
Inns in toto and from the tone Of his
voice-''Nubs" Davies may get the OPP
portunity to prove the confession"
OF course it may not be such a dis
tinguished honor to be accused of libel
ing Farmer Collins as to be charged
three times-with Iibeling Governor
Burke and former Senator Thompson
but ''Nubs" may feel--even il he is ar
rested only once-that he is somewhat
in the swim-and not being ignored en-
tirely.
If The Forum bunch gets to the pen
first an effort will be made to have the
band out and give 'Nubs" welcome
when he arrives.

ALEXANDER CURRY
President of the First National Bank
At Sharon, North
Dakota.

One of the strong men who is back
Of the Northwestern Mutual Invest
ment Company of Fargo, which is
making such fine record as a finan-
cial institution that is doing great
work in building up North Dakota is
Alexander Curry, president of the First
National bank at Sharon. n. d.
Mr.. Curry is man who looks before
he leaps and the fact that the original
plans of the Northwestern Mutual In
vestment Company appealed to him
was in itself pretty good evidence that
they were right, After a careful in
vestigation Mr.. Curry became one Of
the financial sponsors Of the company
and no doubt is greatly pleased now
to see how well his judgment has been
confirmed.
The Northwestern Mutual Invest
ment Company is a sound institution
that is doing excellent work in build
ing throughout the best sections of
the northwest. It's investments are
entirely in improved real estate and
are earning big profits for certificate
holders.

REPUBLICAN HARMONY.

There is an excellent opportunity in
North Dakota this summer for the re-
publicans to bury some of their griev-
ances. There are all kinds of posi-
bilities for harmony-if both factions
would show a little give and take"
spirit. There is no necessity for a
bitter fight over the head of the state
ticket-and there certainly should not
be such bitter strife as to endanger re-
publican chances on the senatorial and
congressional positions.
Harmony could be secured If neither
side wants the entire earth. Republi-
canism-not stalwartism or insurgent-
ism-must be the slogan-if anything
is to be accomplished.

North Dakota Political Gossip

Michigan Arena: To the initiated

wise, portion of the state press pre-

character and illustrious statesman
ship of Gronna. To disagree with this
opinion brings upon the devoted head
of the dissenter a chorus of villifica-
ton and abuse from the more ire
sponsible journals, while the staid and
hypocritical moulders of public opin-
ion evidence a panied surprise at the
temerity Of prefering charges against
Gronna. 1t is significant, however
that among his journalistic champions.
not one has the hardihood to delve ev-
en- two years into the past and pro-

out in a field along the road a form
seated on gang pillow, and as looked
the figure seemed familiar, and at last
recognized the dignified cashier of
the First National bank of Fargo, Fred
Irish. He was working the gang pillow
and was doing right we'll at it. He
didn't see me, and watched him for
quite while. You know yesterday
was mighty cold, but Fred was wiping
the perspiration from his brow, and /
could see that he was tired. Iyelled
over to him, Are you blowing for
wheat, Fred?' But instead of giving
me the kindly answer / expected, he
said: No, you darned hyena, I'm
