ONE WAY TO DO IT.

If ever a congressman has been
grilled, that man was Representative
Fowler of Illinois. Mr. Mann held
him up to the ridicule of the members
one day recently, by showing that he
had injected into his speech, while
writing and before delivering it, such
expressions as applause" "hand-
shaking" etc.
The Republican leader showed how
| Mr.. Fowler, in fixing his address used
| the expressions, "Jesus was born in
the manger," and "John the Baptist,
lived on locusts and honey" These
statements, according to the Con-
gressional Record, created "applause."
Mr.. Fowler attempted to defend
himself, but unsuccessfully, because
Mr.. Mann described the speech, say
ing that he had examined the origi-
nal manuscript and found that it
was fixed up previous to being de-
liyered."
In his description Mr.. Mann said
that ''it was on yellow paper Mr..
Fowler asked: "And the gentleman
says all he knew about it is that
there was a manuscript in yellow"
The Democratic side of the House
thought this was the proper place to
applaud, and encouraged their en-
barrassed colleague, but they did not
continue the handclapping after Mr..
Mann's retort: mo tha1 is not all
know about it-after all, the princi-
pal part of the speech was the yellow
paper
Perhaps writing it in" is the only
way Mr.. Fowler could get applause
and it is just possible that some of
our own congressman have secured
"handclapping" and daughter" in
the same manner.

MONEY WELL SPENT.

Beltrami is a growing county and
the work of it's county officers is con-
stantly increasing, and in no instance
is this more forcibly demonstrated
than in the Office of the auditor. AS
the county grows in population and
wealth, the duties of the auditor in
crease, and every passing legislature
does it's share towards adding to his
labors. The efforts made by James
George, the present auditor, to keep
his Office in good shape by adopting
modern business methods and by en-
ploying competent help deserved the
confidence shown him by the board
OF county commissioners when they
voted him $1,000 a year for clerl
hire.

cism spread so thoroughly over the
state: This, too, with the nominating

With such powerful opponents as

APPROPRIATE FOR THE NECK
Pretty Things That Have Been Given
the Sanction Of Best-Dressed
Partisan Women.

The jabots, plisses and rabats are
more important than ever in the
decoration of separate blouses and
bodies of one-piece frocks Here are
some notes taken at a showing in one
of the well-known lingerie shops not
far from Paquin's.
The larger the better. This seems
to be the rule for fashioning frills
of either lace or linen.
One-sided effects predominant. A
central strip of lace, tucked material
or embroidery is flanked on one side
by an immense frill. Beading, eyelet
embroidery, lace, heavy and fine, may
be used at the line of junction, and
ball fringe has made it's appearance
on some novelties.
Pleatings Of net are edged with lace
motifs in heavy Oriental weaves or
fine valenciennes. Sometimes a
pleated frill will be edged with. two
or three other frills of pleated lace.
The possibilities of variety are unlim-
ited
Jabots or plisses are extremely wide
and long. In the majority Of cases
they extend to the waistline and over
as far as the shoulder. The shape is
generally broader at the top than at
the bottom.
Black buttons Of satin or velvet are
introduced on lace.

BEST COLOR FOR CURTAINS
Strange That Gray, So Eminently
Appropriate, Has Not Been More
Largely Made Use Of.

In one Of the popular plays of the
day the woman who is artistic will
get an idea we'll worth following as to
house decoration. In one of the
scenes a room is decorated with gray
curtains.
Why, says the artistic woman, has
she not thought of gray curtains be-
fore? Why adhere to blue and brown,
rose and white, when gray makes a
frame for the outside world that is
inimitable? It softens the garish
brightness OF an azure sky, and drapes
the sad day with sympathetic har-
mony. Moreover, a gray tone With
any room is never obtrusive, does not
weary the senses. is dignif1ed, charm
ing and picturesque. It is, in short, a
perfect choice.

Fifty Years Ago Found Sweet
and Palatable.

When Louis Pasteur, the great
French biologist, enunciated half a
century ago the theory that germ life
is not spontaneously generated it was
received with a degree OF incredui1ty
which has perhaps not yet been en-
tirely dispelled. In proof OF its sound
ness, however, a remarkable fact was
disclosed last week in Philadelphia.
While engaged in his experiments
in the sterilization Of liquids along IN
the fifties Pasteur filled bottle with
veal broth which he had treated,
sealed it Theoretically and presented
it to a young Philadelphia who was
then one OF his students.

physician of the Quaker City. At a

Work is work, but picnics is only

tartly. "1'm goin' to town and you'll
stay here and do that ironin', so don't
let's have another word about It,"
Barbara Larsen stood, meek and
submissive, bravely holding back the
tears till her aunt's gaunt form had
turned down the road and disap-
peared trolleyward. Then she threw
herself down in the old rocker and
sobbed unrestrainedly.
She had told Jasper Burnham she
was going-Jasper, who had never be-
fore mustered up courage to ask her
to 60 anywhere. And now he'd think
she was doing it on purpose-that she
didn't care.
She rose at last. The ironing must
be done. But as she reached the
kitchen door some wayward impulse
turned her steps and forced her up
into her own tiny bedroom, where lay
in all their dear. seductive glory her
best things" that she had laid out
ready to wear. Sobs shook her anew
as she gazed at them. She moved
over to the bureau and opening the
bottom drawer took from it shining
length Of ribbon that matched the
little rosebuds on her dress.
With sudden impulse she began
to unlock the unbecoming brown
Bingham that was her invariable
weekday garb.
"Ill try them on, anyway" she re-
solved.
Fully arrayed, the pink ribbon
cleaning around her waving brown
hair, she surveyed herself with a
mournful satisfaction. She hadn't
known she could be so pretty. She
looked longingly out at the radiant
afternoon. Swinging down the road,
with furtive, bashful chances toward
the house, came Jasper. Barbara's
heart beat hard. Turning, she ran
down the stairway and out on the
uncovered porch.
'Ill let him see I was ready, any
way" she thought deflantly, ''and
then he'll think something happened
afterward"
Jasper paused uncertainty at the
gate.
"Coming?" he called.
Barbara looked up the road and saw

their sweethearts, all bound for the

CANADA. - ~.
FREQUENT QUESTION An.
. SWERED.

Western Canada probably suffered
less from weather conditions during
tho year of 1911 than did almost any
other portion of the country. Seeding
was most successful and the growing
conditions up to July were never bet.
ter. Crops of all kinds showed won
derful growth at that time and were
universally good, but there was not
the usually excellent ripening weather
in August and the effects Of this were
felt. Many fields that late in July
promised 40 and so bushels yield Of
wheat were reduced to Is and 80, BUSH
els, while some of course gave tho
full expectancy and others somewhat
less. The quality was also lowered.
In face of these conditions, it is found
that during the months of September
and October, the total amount Of con-
tract wheat marketed and inspected
was about 20 million bushels, which
realized a total of 1871 million dollars,
the average price for this wheat be-
ing 97% cents: that below contract
for the two months was little over
Is million bushels, which at an aver
age price of 891s cents per bushel
realized a little over eleven million
dollars, or a grand total for all wheat
Of IS million bushels, which realized
a total of little over thirty-one mill
lion dollars.
On the first of November, there
was in the hands of the farmers OF
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta
for sale and seed about 100 million
bushels of wheat, from which fact
some idea may be had of the value
of the wheat crop of 1911.
A careful canvass made by the Win
nipeg Free Press made of number
of men farming in a large way-indi-
Gates that even with the extreme ex-
pense Of harvesting the crop, which
has been caused by the bad weather
and difficulty in threshing, wheat has
been produced and put on the market
for less than IS cts. bushel. The
| average freight rate is not over 10
| cts. per bushel. This would make the
cost of production and freight 68 cts.
and would leave the farmer an actual
margin on his low-grade wheat Of
1713 cts. and for his high-grade wheat
Of 1917 cts; and though this Is not
as large a profit as the farmer has
| every right to expect, It is profit
not to be despised, and which should
leave a very fair amount of money to
ais credit when all the expenses OF
The year have been paid, unless the
value of low-grade wheat sinks very
much below its present level.

One of the latest ideas in children's
hairdressing is the transformation of

It consists of having the cropped
hair curled and falling in long ring
lets, completely surrounding the head,
from ear to ear, instead OF being
combed down straight.
The arrangement is decidedly
