RECEPTION AT
The LIBRARY

The Watsitou club entertained
at the library building Tuesday
evening in honor of Miss Cora
Boyd. The reception came in the
nature of a surprise to Miss Boyd
who on her arrival at the library
was showered at the doorway with
sweet peas by the assembled guests.
The first part. of the evening was
spent with the needle, music and
conversation.
A dainty five course luncheon
was served and each guest was
given a ''jollier" gift that brought
to mind some idiosyncratic part of
their make up and was the occas-
ion of much merriment. The big
surprise of all came however when
Miss Boyn was presented with a
solid set of silver knives and forks
by the club mem bers, Mrs. Boyd
chaperoned the gathering and the
work of merry making was carried
on to a late hour and was voted
into the annals of the club as one
of the best meetings ever held by
the circumspect Watsitou.

The following is taken from the
News=Bee, of Toledo, Ohio, and is
from the pen of G. L. Gilman and
is one of series of articles on
government conservation that is
being run in more than two hun
dred papers in the country the
whole strength of the United Press
being sbehind the movement for
government ownership of the
Alaska mines.
Williston, N. D., Sept. 11.--Of
course it's absurd to talk about
having the government run the
Alaska coal mines. Uncle Sam
would be fiat failure as a miner
sure as shootin'. You've been
hearing a lot of this kind of talk
from two kinds of people.
First: The colonies of industry
who get rich by exploiting the
peoples property.
Second: The really honest folks
who doubt the wisdom of putting
the government into the coal busl-
ness.
The first class are strictly pro-
hibited from reading this story.
It's exclusively for the second.
All We of that group give ear.
Uncle Sam is already in the coal
business. And that isn't all. Uncle
Sam is a success as miner.
I know this because l was sent
up here by the editor of The News
Bee to find out. Pm writing cold
coal facts, that saw with my own
eyes, heard with my own ears. or

Here at Williston, N. D., the
government of the United States,
which would makeSa fiat failure
of coal mining," owns and operates
coal mine, and
Produces coal at $1.6O per ton
in a model mine.
Furthermore
The government works its men
six days a'week, eight hours a day
and they average a profit of $1OC
a month above living expenses.
The retail price of coal at Willis
ton, maintained by private opera
tors, is $3.50 a ton.
Government coal could be laid
down beside it at $1.6O, but the
government burns the coal itself,
to run its big Williston and Bu'
ford irrigation power project.
Note: $3.50 less $1.60 equals
80 cents, clean profit. That's what
the industry collects at Williston

Rose Hats For sprina.

Some of the new spring hats are al
ready on exhibition in the exclusive
shops. and among them is the flower
hat. Roses Of all kinds and sizes seem
to be the most popular flower used.
Some of these roses are made Of grOs-
grain ribbon with a picot edge set of
by leaves and stems of ribbon of the
same shade as the flower Large and
small roses are often used on the same
hat. The soft pastel tones of blue, pink
and green bid fair to be favorites. On
some Of the large hats the wreath OF
roses Is yelled by malines. and on some
OF the models valenciennes lace is
used to set of the beauty of the roses.
Among the small flowers used are the
forgetmenots. lilies of the valley and
hellotrope. One of the handsomest OF
the spring models has a long wreath Of
forgetmenots which are made Of old
gold velvet Rosebuds of pink and blue
chiffon are also used on some of the
advanced models.
