and the booth wherein the pretty model
walked, climbed and stood still for the
pleasure of the spectators was by far
the most popular, generally, of the show.

tendance paid marked attention to the
harem skirt was evidenced by the num-
Der of matrimonial proposals received by
the fair model.
Other leaders did not bear so open a
mind on the subject as did Mrs. Barber.
"a cheap faddish eccentricity" and a
phantom to beat over the head of
woman suffrage" were among the ex-
pressions and motives applied TO the new
idea None of the other prominent suf-
fragists would talk for publication, how
ever. Few would talk at all when the
harem skirt was associated with their
cause.

Crop Failure Not Necessary
DR.. T. III. Worst

am convinced that by
means of suitable cultivation
which includes deep blowing,
the boyle of drought will be
forever dispelled from the state.
There is absolutely no neces-
sity for single crop failure in
North Dakota on account of
drought. The fault is not With
the soil, nor with the climate.
nor with the plants-it is with
cur system of farming. AS
long as we apply humid meth
DDS to semi-arid conditions, we
may expect repeated crop fail
ures, or partial failures that
will materially lessen the pro
fits which farmers should real
ize from their business.
