The introduction/of color into the all
black satin gown is another detail to be
noticed this autumn. Just a small bit OF
colored silk embroidery on the waist
seems to bestow the needed touch of in
dividuality, and there is often blending
of color that is most effective. Where the
waist crosses over there is pointed long
revers or band of blue and gold or two
shades of blue and a small piece OF the
same embroidery is seen on the turned

also combined to give the desired note OF

Color on Black Gowns.
Another way in which color is intro
Iduced in the black gowns is in the en-
broidery and embroidered braid used in
trimming. Extremely novel are the wide
open patterns-black silk braids, through
which colored silks are run, expensive be-
cause of the hand work, but there are
effective machine br4ids and passemen-

must be taken not TO use too much of any

of appropriateness that kills all smart

lea this style of gown is not so prac-
tical as IN other climates, for it can
be worn only in the street for a short
time in the spring and autumn, before
the weather becomes either too warm
or too COOL according to the season. In
the autumn there must be a wrap or
coat or at least a scarf worn over it,
and this all too often detracts from the
effect, for the gown must be perfect in
itself and quite distinct from a model de-
signed to be worn under a coat.
Popularity of Satin.
Satin, strange to say, retains its won
derful popularity, and there is no end OF
different styles for the one piece satin
gown. The heavier quality is the best
for the present moment, as the light
weight is too thin and tOo cool. A sim
pie satin gown-so it is lightly described
is now essential to any outfit, but the
simple part must be in the line and
general effect, not the detail, for there
never were more elaborate or smarter
satin gowns to be seen than are worn
this autumn One of the favorite models
is unusually attractive. 1t has the ef-
feet of belted coat, for the short high
waist and the long overskirt are joined
under a wide belt or else the oVerskirt Is
attached to the waist under a narrow
cording. Both waist and overskirt button
or fasten aefoss and are heavily embroid-
cred in black silk, as is also the one long
pointed revers. The waist is like blouse
in its lines, and the skirt is narrow but
slashed at one side, and there is an in
inverted pleat or pleatings of chiffon
under the slashing.
So much is now said in regard to the
fashion of the skirt slashed in front or at
the side, 50 that the feet and ankles are
displayed, that it is well to remember
that when eccentric styles Of any kind
make their appearances they are not gem
orally adopted, but are SO modified before
women Of conservative taste accent them
that it is best not to follow the first nod.l.
too closely. The opening of tbs .L;r.i

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Sept. 25.-"N
We can carry out our present plans
of the National Conservation congress
in Kansas City the latter part of
this month, the printed proceedings
of that meeting will be one of the
most valuable publications that has
ever been gotten out, so far as the
farmer is concerned This is the
statement of Henry Wallace, presi-
dent of the National Conservation
congress, to be held here September
25-27. The principal efforts of the
officers have been directed toward
making it in reality farm and farm
ers' congress. The railroads have
made a low rate for delegates and
visitors, and Convention hall, Yhere
the congress will be held, will offer
space for 1000 delegates and good
seats for 10000 others who may come
to the convention as visitors.
Farms and farming will be the prin-
cipal topis of that convention and
the addresses will be delivered by
men foremost in the national life and
men recognized as unquestionable
authority in their various depart
ments. President Taft will speak on
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1911-09-26

as the general broad subject to b<
discussed at this convention. The
National Conservation commission in
Ats report Of two years ago showed
that of the land area of the United
States, excluding-Alaska and the in
sular possessions, little less than one
half is occupied as farm land. Two
fifths of it generally requires irriga-
ton and one twenty-fifth of the area
requires drainage. The population is
constantly growing and this growth
brings up the question of food supply.
Can sufficient fGoG be obtained from
American soil or will it become neces-
sary to import.
The increase in cultivated land is
not keeping pace with the increase in
population. Unless America wants to
import food stuffs, there is only one
way to meet the growing demand, and
that is to increase the crop yields.
That this is not only feasible, but
entirely practicable, is shown by the
larger yield of the old countries, by
the general increase in the yield in
recent years and by the natural tend
ency of soil to grow more fertile when
properly treated.

BERIH0LD INDIAN FAIR
WAS DECIDED SUCCESS

women, breaking camp, starting fire
with flint, playing of old games. The
most exciting was the moccasin game.
Everybody entered the contests with
spirit and both the contestants and
the audience enjoyed the program
thoroughly.
Our industrial exhibit is being held
at the commissary under the able
management of Mrs. Chas. w. Hofr-
man. The outsiders and the people
on the reservation are greatly pleased
by the exhibits and many visitors told
us they were surprised that we could
get up such a good collection and
such a great variety of things. We
too, have learned a great deal. We
have strings of corn, early Mandan
corn, squash. early day squash, po-
tatoes, tomatoes, cabbages, carrots,
oats, wheat, sunflowers, beans, etc.
And many of the old Indian dresses
and works on skins with porcupine
quilts and beads. And variety of
old things we had for prizes the
State Historical society offered us.
Our friend Mr.. Fish looked after the
historical prizes. One of the most
attractive scenes was the day school
exhibits of the different districts on
the reservation, and also the mission
schools. Fort Berthold Mission
school and the Sacred Heart mission.

The first industrial fair was held
at Fort Berthold reservation from
September II to "a in the open place
in the woods Just below Elbowoods
agency. This industrial fair takes the
place of the Fourth of July celebra'
ton and was wanted by many of the
young people who had ambition and
understanding that the Industrial
fair would give the older and the
younger people a clear idea Of how
to raise things round their own home.
We want to make this fair a yearly
event and as this is our first begin
ming things have been delayed but
from now on We hope to do things
better and have better show.
The officers of the association are:
President-Thomas Smith.
Vice Presidents-William Bighead,
Ben Benson, Four Rings.
Secretary-James H. Eagle.
Treasurer-Arthur Mandan.
Judges-Frank Packineau, Harry
Gillette, Young Bird, Louis Baker.
Heralds-Chas. Ross, Robt. Lincoln,
Ed Good Bird, Rufus Red Feather,
Spotted Weasel, Chief Sitting Owl,
Holding Eagle. Enemy Heart and
four policemen were appointed to
work along with the heralds.
r. During the fair We have had some

contests, foot racing for men and

Creek school. They had basket weav
ing, drawing, sewing and products Of
their gardens.
Besides the products of the earth
we had nice jellies, of different kinds
cakes, bread, home made soap, sewing
on different kinds of cloth, mendine
of different kinds and fancy work by
the returned young ladies who have
been students east. Many prizes were
given and next year we all will know
better and bring more things.
The old custom of camp caller was
used and very early in the morning
he goes round the circle calling at
the top of his voice to get ready for
the events of the day. And when the
events are coming off in the daytime
the heralds go around the circle an.
nouncing what will happen or the
news of the camp. 1t is good sight
at the dawn to see the smoke curl
up from the 260 tepees and as it
raises above the great trees it carries
message of joy and welcome over
the banks of the native Missouri.
Thursday afternoon and Friday we
had as our guests Mr.. Abbott and Mr..
Hanna. Many of the camp went
miles out to meet them and we were
glad to meet these friends again. On
Friday morning we had a great coun-
Gil in the big tent and these men
gave us a good clear talk, telling us
they were glad We had started fair
and told US what would be expected
of us when our allotments were given
to us. Then both Of them discussed
many Of the problems we have to
face, such as the building of houses,
carrying on good demonstration
farm, the preserving of game, the
attitude of the government to the
cial lands and the lettering of our
schools. We were glad to grasp these
men by the hand and to hear the
good practical words, for many of
the young men are ambitious to make
our reservation life count for a great
deal. We feel that these men are
helping us a great deal. On Friday
night from 1880 till 1890 the older
men talked with Mr. Abbott and Mr..
Hanna in council. They brought up
many questions of treaties years ago
and discussed coal rights and prob
iems Of allotting lands and the ques-
tions Of living near the white settlers.
They also spoke about the preservation
of the old relics on the reservation
and the preservation of the old Fort
Berthold village camp. We We're glad
these things were brought up and set
tied while our friends were near.
The fair was a success and our
committee will have better one
next year.
Notes on the Fair.

when she was in the
real battle of many years ago and
she flood OF memories was too much
for her and she turned and went back
to her tepee vailing and weeping over
some one lost in a real fight.

Arthur Mandan for the Mandan and

Mr.. Abbott and Mr.. Hanna had to be
interpreted in both languages. When
a good strong statement was given
the "how" was heard all over the tent.
