Hastings, Mimi. Tan. II 1

Hastings, Minn., Jan. II, 1872
Ed. Willmar Tribune: have just re-
ceived word that some of the energetic
members of the American Society Of
Equity In the vicinity of Willmar have
arranged for a mass meeting of the
farmers of Kandiyohi Co., to be held in
the court house in Willmar, Tuesday,
Jan. 30 and that Thomas Raleigh of

the meeting. Bro. Raleigh is farmer
who has studied the conditions of the
farmer in the Northwest and is pre-
pared to tell the causes and better vet
has remedy he is assisting in applying,
1t Is the desire to make this meeting
at Wlllmar hummer, for Willmar is
centrally located and is surrounded by
a fertile country that is settled with
farmers who will grasp every opportun-
ity to increase their prosperity and that
OF their community, therefore have de-
cided to double the interest in the above
meeting by sending M. F. Sharp. Ex-
President of the National Union Of the
A. S. of E. to Willmar and he will also
address meeting on the 30th.
M. F. Sharp is a speaker of rare abil-
ity and has message for the farmers,
laborers, business men and their FAM
lilies and rest assured that there will
be no sleeping while he is delivering it.
With two such men on the program
there is no reason why the court house
should not be packed. when the meeting
opens.
Cooperation among the farmers, az
taught and put in operation by the Am.
erican Society Of Equity, is going to put
to route in >the near future, MANY Of
the present day methods used in doing
business with the farmers, and a spec

NEW YORK, July 20.-White serge

Special TO Inc lIlDune.
NEW YORK, July 20.-White serge
is always a feature of the seashore
wardrobe and while each season
brings out admirable models in this
material, this summers showing is
more than usually attractive. In Paris
during the gay season white serge
has been seen in many odd phases.
The famous makers have, for in.
stance, combined the wool material
with the finest linen. letting the cool
lingerie material form the upper part
of the bodice and sleeves and perhaps
a plated or flounced or embroidered
skirt or p%etticoat under a tunic OF the
serge. This is newer than the com.
bination of serge and tulle or serge
chiffon; and Will, there made De two
opinions as to thesuccess Of the COM
bination it has been accepted in Paris
as in%disputably chic. However, 1t Is
in the simpler tailored costume and
s%emi-tailored frock that white serge
is at it's best and is most useful.
The white serge tailored suit has a
wide range in point of elaboration,
but for general use the more severe
models are most enective. A perfect
ly plain, beautifully tailored coat, cut
away and running into long tails in
the back, made with long coat sleeves
and a mannish collar or shawl collar
rather deep and clinging on the
shoulders, and associated with a plain
skirt not too narrow, the whole un-
trimmed except for white pearl out
tons and a binding of white silk
braid on all the edges, has an extra
ordinary amount of style If worn by a
oma with a good fiugre.
Some of the straight coat models In
white serges are good too, and when
successful in line and detail are pre-
ferable now to the over popular short
cutaway which has been developed
into multitude of cheap, ready-made
models. An uncommonly good look
ing straight coat suit in white serge
had effective details in Its line I

and skirt down the front, each tab
having a buttonhole with q white
pearl button, and in its odd pocketlike
motifs set on the coat sides and hold

The deliberately braided white serge
suits, and those with which white
satin or other silk is literally com
