WOULD RUN N. D. TWINE
PLANT. CONTINUALLY

Editor independents
In your last issue, I noticed an ar.
ticle headed: "Twine Plant Running
Day and Night" This article seems
to have been written by C. H. Nc.
Manus. We have no fault to find
with this article with but one excep-
ton. When Mr.. MbManus states
that the prison twine plants have
ben shut down, it is misleading and
is not the case with the Minnesota
plant. We know what we are talking
about. The writer visited the Min
nesota state twine factory q short
time ago. and found them running
over time, making 10000 pounds a
day, trying their utmost to accomo'
date all possible. On this account
the writer was able to secure ano
Their car Of Irvine to be delivered II
time for our Customers crops. W.
cannot speak for all factories.
We did hear that the North Da
kota plant was going to shut down
II this is the case the people of the
state should wake up and arrange &C
keep such a profitable industry run
ming the whole year. Yours for the
benefit Of the public,
J. J. BEEGHLY.

THE NEW WAshRAG HAT

The latest in feminine headgear Is
"washrag" hat, simple top piece
without any trimming but the band.
All that is necessary Is to take a
twenty five cent Turkish towel. sew
it into the shape of hat, and charge
two dollars for it. The advantage Of
such hat is apparent. If one Is
caught in a rain storm, all that Is
necessary is to run the hat through
a wringer, press it with hot iron
and put it on and wear it. It can also
re used as a bath towel in the even
ing, hung up to dry during the night
and worn to a picnic the next day.
