PADS AND FASHIONS

There is very little left Of the pan nier. The new draperies affect the greatly varied. There is very often a machine pleated foundation skirt above which the draperies are wrap ped about the figure.
 The change in skirts is not in the foundation, but is made by the gather ed and draped tundcs that used Some of. the tunics are straight, while some are caught up in a puff at the bottom or draped on irregular pleats at the front or back.
 Some of the new hats are so turn hide the profile, the left being propor- tiouately raised. In a word, the hat is constructed that it seems to have lost It's equilibrium; but on @ pretty wearer no fault can be found. , A few tailored suits show a triple volants en for1ne. The three pieces of cloth cut on the bias assume a hounc- ed effect without really being hounc- ings A blue cOtele skirt is arranged this way, having small buttons and strappings of braid on one side of the cut-up hounceS.
 For the young girl, coat dresses are attracting much attention. These models usually have the white satin faced Robespierre collar, turn-back edged with white. Sometimes the pat ent leather belts with white kid fac ings are used
 A fascinating fashion in tea gowns Is the Vatican style. It gives scope for color haTnonies. The newest Wat teau gown is made with box pleat from the shoulders, hanging loosely from the tenter of the back. and be- low the hips it is draped in graceful folds.
 A very chic costume is made with a soft white satin skirt, with a tunic of emerald-green pleated nnessaline de Soie and a black antique lace coat with hem-stitched net collar, revers and frills. With this is worn a, white hat lined with black and trimmed with white feathers
 Umbrella handles of unique design are popular just now; for instance, monkeys head, which rolls its eyes when a spring Is touched, while others are of a more costly kind, being of amber, jade and rock crystal, and sometimes they are studded with real

 Among young girls many styles of coiffure are in fashion at present. There is a tendency to dress the hair in a high knot on the top of the head. The low poInpadour and a coil held in place by a bow js very becoming Gen orally speaking. everything is soft in hairdressing just now.
 There is no sign of black satin going out of fashion. The gowns in black satin possess fascina tion which is not eQualIed in fancy silks. Nor are they sornbre, for they can be relieved by white lace or nalines or two-inch bands of white nDousseline, which give a simplicity which is very appealing.

 Dear Sir: New Orleans is one of the cities hard on paint; but, nevertheless, they paint 1ead-and-o good deal there.
 A c Caller painted two houses last year for F Hinderer: one lead and-oiI and the other Devoe. The first is al- ready in bad condition; Devoe is per feet.
 M Augustin. New Orleans. has painted his house Deyoe three times Tn eighteen years. This shows that Devoe is good for six years there. In Florida, where 1ead-and- oil wears only a year, we have no com plaint of Devoe and we know of it's wearing ten years in several instances. We don't say it wears ten years, you know; there are sucfs instances. No complaint is enough to say till we have longtime experiences; they're coming Meantime.

 Louis D. Brandefs in Conier's.1
 Leaders of the new {third termD party argue that industrial monopolies should be legalized lest we lose the efficiency of large scnie production and distribu- ton. No argument could be more nais- leading.
 1t may be safely asserted that in America there is no line of business in which all or most concerns or plants must be concentrated in order to at tain the size of grea test efficiency, for, while business may be too small to be efficient, efficiency does not grow in- definitely with increasing size. What the most efficient size is can be learned definitely only by experience The unit or greatest efficiency is reached when the disadvantages of size coun- terbaiance the advantages. The unit of greatest efficiency is exceeded when the disadvantages of size outweigh the advantages. The history of American trusts makes this clear. That history shows:
 Ffrst-No conspicuous American trust owes its existence to the desire for in- creased efficiency Expected econo- mics from combination" figure largely in promoters prospectuses. but they have never been a compelling motive in the formation of any trust On the contrary, the purpose of combining has often been to curb efficiency or even to preserve tnefficiency. thus frustrating the natural law Of survival of the it test.
 Second--No conspicuously profitable trust owes it's profits largely to supe- rior efficiency. Some trusts have been very efficient, as have some independ- ent concerns. but conspicuous profits have been secured mainly through con trol of the market. through the power of monopoly to fix prices, through this exercise of the taxing power.
 Thfrd.-No conspicuous trust has been efficient enough to maintain long as against the independents it's proportion of the business of the country without continuing to buy up from time to time it's successful competitors

SIOUX VALLEY FLOODED
Five Inches of Rain in Four
Hours at Brookings

Brookings, S. d., Navy g.
The region hereabouts was visit
ed by record breaking rain last
night, the precipitation measure
ment for four hours being five
inches. Earlier in the day there
was heavy rainfall and the two
visitations have flooded the low
places. In Brookings Easements
were filled with water and the
property damage will be several
thousand dollars.
Between Brookings and Aurora
six miles east of here, from
mile to two miles Of Northwest
ern railroad track was washed
out, a bridge carried away and
several miles Of track made too
weak for safety, making it neces-,
sary to send all trains via Water
town.
A large lake has been created
a short distance east of Brook
ings and the Sioux bottom west
of town is seriously flooded. Man
farmers were compelled to move
from their homes to higher
ground and take their live stock
with them. In extent and the
aggregate Of damage inflicted,
the visitation was the most des-
tructive since the settlement Of
this part Of the state.

"Reminiscences enters the soul, and
as we thOughtfully peer through
the shadowy vistas Of RETROSPECT
tion into the dim regions Of in
nocent childhood or happy youth,
there glides into our minds eye
the image Of the one around whom
will ever cling many of the soft
est and sweetest memories of
life-our mother.
She it was, in the days Of our
childhood, whose kind words and
gentle acts garnished with grace
the home we then knew. Hers
were the smiles that lighted the
way when it seemed most dark
and fearful and from the heart
of Mother emanated the love
that shielded us from the tumult
Of the world, nurturing, guiding
and governing until we went fortf
alone from the family roOf-tree.
Mother! At the simple word
long slumbering memories Of 9th
er days awaken and the heart is
again like unto that of a little
child. Ambition is forgotten !;
the mountain tops of life for
which men strive are unknown; !;
gold is but the light in the eyes
Of a mother and love is all in all
This is the history of your moth
er and of mine and in apprecia-
ton let us pay our need Of trib-
ute to the infinite care, the deli
cate confidence, the beautiful af-
fection, and gentle admonition
with which she has impaired to
us the principles Of life. If your
mother is yet with you, surround
her with that atmosphere of af-
fection and blessing which is in
dispensable to the mother heart.
If she has passed to that farther
bourne, cherish her memory with
sacred sorrow.
In acknowledgement, there
fore, of the worlds illimitable
debt to Motherhood, I have issu-
ed this Proclamation setting aside
the twelfth day of our beautiful
memorial month of May as
Mothers Day

appropriate observance Of the
same throughout our entire State

OoC AND the ILLEGAL DoNOS
Tallowbelly Can Do Some More
Explaining-Doc Wants Coun-
ty to Buy Fort Pierre Out

Shoe Joe and a number Of other
Philip citizens have been ex-
ceedingly peeved ever since the
Stanley county court house was
built, that Fort Pierre took the
initiative and helped provide the
county with adequate office room
together with fireproof vaults
for its records.
"The fact that DR.. Lavery
was mayor at the time and took
a very great interest in the pro-
ject caused a personal soreness
which those individuals have
tried to attribute to aother things
but now we have the real reason
for their opposition.
"But Joe says that DR.. Lavery
had his bank made county de-
pository by this same board
which he owned and used the
money to buy the bonds.
"Does Joe know the truth a
bout that deal? If so, why does
he not break the bonds and tell
the truth for ?'-Fairplay.
We have spoken the truth
about the matter first, last and
all the time. We don't care who
were county commissioners, we
don't care who were the Fort
Pierre alderman at the time, or
who was states attorney or who
was city attorney. Had either Of
them taken thought they
would have known that Doc
Lavery had ran the city of
Fort Pierre into debt so far dur
ing his progressive (?) admins
tratiOn tat bond issue big en-
ough to buy yellow dog would
have been illegal, because Fort
Pierre was beyond the limit al
lowed by the constitution Of the
state.
Lavery says further that Mr..
Millett offered for the bonds in
question S8c on the dollar and
later 95c on the dollar. The
facts are that the Millett bank
made one offer for the bonds of
par and accrued interest, the
same as offered by Laverys
bank. Mr.. Millett's offer was
made with the provision that his
attorney would give a written
opinion that the bonds were le-
gally and regularly issued. The
attorney declined to render such
an opinion and stated that the
bonds were not legally issued.
We have not charged Lavery
with not knowing these facts.
He knew them all the time, and
was holding his breath for fear
some one would find it out and
put finger in his pie, before
he could manipulate deal where
by he could get hold Of enough
of the sinking fund and pile it
, up where his bank could get
: it and buy these warrants and
wait until Doc could unload them
= He had it in mind when he
double crossed Scotty Brown
and elected Fred Rowe, so that
the genial Fred might introduce
a bill which would legalize this
bogus bond issue. The bill was
passed all right, but the bonds
{ Haven't been sold. The deal was
D so rotten that even an act of oul
| legislature failed to clean it up
, We have before us a statement
: issued by Docs bank, in which
!. they claim assets in the shape o.
