Facts About Skirts

No article of woman's wear is sub
iccted to quite the strain of wear
that the Skirt receives.
The Skirt is so liable to bagginess
at the knees. The Skirt so often
grows longer and longer and longer
ut the back and says at the waist.
And then there il the placket that
Is SO apt to be torn open at the
bottom.
But there is a make Of Skirts
to which all these troubles are I'M
known.
We sell that make. IL is labeled
the IN. & G." Skirt.
Wherever strain comes, the NJ. &
G. Skirts are reinforced and stayed.
No ordinary wear can make them
baggy.
The NJ. & Co. Continuous Packet
cannot tear open. Examine and
you'll see why the NJ. & Co. idea
has been adopted by the best custom

Washington, Dec. 24.-Wil1iam J..

W. j. Bryan Jr., in Washington yes
terday, will be secretary of state in
President Wilson's cabinet. This, it
was learned last night, is positively
settled, according to close friends of

ment was made all the more positive
in view of a report published this
morning that Mr. Bryan would in
sist upon being appointed secretary
of the treasury if he entered the cabi-
net.
One senator, known to be in the
closest political relations with both
Governor Wilson and Mr.. Bryan, said
last night that Mr.. Bryan had his
choice between the state department
and the treasury department and
that he selected the first named port
folio. This senator explained that
it Mr.. Bryan could have followed his
personal inclination5 he would have
preferred being secretary of the

FIRE AT INTERNATIONAL
Burned Out Upper Story of H. L.
Frank Store Sunday
Morning.

International Falls, Dec. 24-Fire
Sunday morning caused considerable
damage to the H. L. Frank & Co.
variety store building and contents
and the household goods of H. l..
Frank. The fire is attributed to a
defective fue, the flames following
it's course into the attic and for a
time threatening the destruction of
he building and conents. After con-
siderable hard work, the fire depart
ment got three streams of water
onto the flames and in due time had
them eXtinguished, but not until a
total damage of $4,000 or more had
been done, large part of which was
due to water. The building and
stock of merchandise were we'll COW
cred by insurance but the protec-
tion on the piano and household
goods was small and their damage
great, the greater part of the fire be-
ing confined to the upper story Of the
building. The fire bid fair, at times
to get beyond the control of the de-
partment, but the boys fought he1
out bravely in binding black smoke
and finally subdued the devastating
flames
The Frank store was doing a big
holiday business and the fire there,
fore came at a time to make Mr.
Franks loss much greater than il
would otherwise have been. As it is
however, he is thankful that his loss
was no greater.

E. D. HOWARD IN JAIL
Was Brought From Thief River Falls
Friday on Warrant Charging
Petty Larceny.
is UP FOR TRIAL SATURDAY

E. D. Howard, who was employed
for short time this fall by the
Pioneer, Sentinel and Marcum Print
ing companies, Was arrested in Thief
River Falls last Saturday on a war
rant sworn out by J. B. Hanson and
charging petty larceny. It is said
that the charge was based on the al
legged forging and passing by Howard
of SIS check on the Marcum Print
ing company
Howard came to Bemidji in Octo-
Der from Deer River where he said
he had been camping. He claimed to
have had experience in the advertis-
ing departments of several Chicago
papers and was taken on the Pioneer
staff as a subscription man. He was
, with the Pioneer for fortnight.
Later he was employed by the Sen
tinel and the Marcum Printing COM
pany, but it is said that he had not
been in the employ of either for a
week before the alleged passing of
the check. Soon after Mr.. Hanson
cashed the check, Howard left town
! Howard was arranged before Judge
/ SimoEs Saturday but the case was
continued over week. He is being
held in the county jail until his case
will come before the court.

HIGH ARMY OFFICERS CALLED
TO WASHINGTON IN JANUARY

Washington, D. c., Dec. 24.-Most
of the ranking army officers in the
United States have been ordered to be
in Washington January for an i'm
portant conference to arrange the de-
tails of the extensive plan for re-or-
ea1ization of the army. This is the
last important act, concerning the
army that the retiring administration
will undertake.
One such conference was held last
summer and initiated the project
The brief contemplates the abolition
of the present army departments and
creation OF brigades as units in diff
ferent parts of the country. Those
will be arranged and proportional in
respect to the various arms of the
service comprised as to be capable of
troop at a moments
notice into the regular army corps.
Some of the features of the plan
would require legislation to give ef-
! feet. Most of the others will be car
, ried out under executive orders 1t is
for the purpose of framing these that
! the January conference is called. The
officers summoned are: Major Gen
erals Thomas B. Barry, William H.
Carter, Arthur Murray; Brigadier
Generals Tasker H. Bliss, Ramsey D.
Potts, Frederick A. Smith, Varion P
Maus, Ralph W. Hoyt, Montgomery
MacComb, Walter Schuyler, Robert
K. Evans, Clarence H. Edwards, Ed
gar q. Steever and Edward +. Nc
Clernand.
The proposal to eliminate the ne
gro as an American soldier is a topic
slated for consideration when the
conference meets.
Some officers favoring the plan are
prepared to urge it on the ground
that in the Philippines the natives
are said to resent the appearance
among them of the dark troopers and
that there are signs of dissatisfaction
in Hawaii, owing to the fact that the
Twenty-fifth infantry, a negro organ
ization. has been ordered to the
islands to form a permanent garri-
son.
Friends Of the negro soldiers are
preparing to make strenuous fight
in their behalf, pointing to the splen-
did record in time of war in Cuba
and in the Philippines,

Albert Worth, assistant postmas-
ter, stated this morning that the
amount of business handled by the

Iof any day in any Christmas season
to date. He stated that business

CHEAPEST HAM EVER SOLD

The following story is taken from
an interesting article entitled "Be-
hind the Scenes at the Bargain
Sale,' published in the January
Woman's Home Companion:
':Sometimes an error creeps into
the published announcement of a big
store, due to the negligence of the
proof-reader or to the compositor in
the printing office of the paper. 1t is
rarely funny in its results, although
it may make humorous reading when
first issued.
"One day a department store in
New York advertised sSugar-Cured
Hams at DC ID Rather cheap, you
say? Well, one hundred and thirty
odd persons thought so too! For that
was the number that asked for the
ham at this ridiculously low price the
morning the 'ad' appeared. 1t ap-
peared that the printed proof o. KID
by the grocery buyer and sent down
to the newspaper Office for insertion
in the days issue read s14c a lb.
The first mineral had simply dropped
out of sight, 1875 sales were made al
a loss of ten cents per pound"

For instance, the production OF anthra-
cite coal is always stated by the pro-
ducers in long tons, but that OF bitumi.
nous coal is given in short tons. Again,
the flask" t75 pounds) is the customary
unit for the measurement of quicksilver
except where the metric ton is used The
Troy ounce is used for measuring the
precious metals.
As shown by the tables in this re-
port, the value of the total production
for 1911 was ss0,732, $50 less than that
for 1910.
Another table gives the production OF
domestic crude metallic ores, and this,
together with imports Of foreign sup.
plies treated in domestic plants, COM

DreamIand Baseball Feature.

Enthusiasts OF the diamond and the
picture will be delighted with the COM
ing kalem picture, "Rube Marquard
Wins" which is soon to be released. In
this subject is given an intimate view
of "Rube," the champion twirler of the
New York baseball team, the "Giants, .
and the especial favorite of the Kalen
player, Miss Alice Joyce. Not every
baseball 'fan" has had an opportunity
to see "Rube" at close range and very
'em over" This picture will crafty a
long-cherished desire, for "Rube" demon
strates the show" of it right up in
front of the camera and, If you watch
the picture closely, you can see some of
his "hot ones" 60 sizzling over the plaSs.
To properly present so great a nation
al hero as Rube Marquard it was fitting
that his running mate in the picture
should be Miss Alice Joyce. To get them
in the picture to the best advantage the
Kalem editor has conjured up a clever
bit of story. He has Miss Joyce at
tend one of the games at the Polo
grounds where she meets the Champ"
A few days later she receives an invita-.
tion to attend the regular morning prac-
tice of the team. II is on this occasion
that Msrquard explains the tricks of
the pitcher and, while it is not likely
that he gives away all his "bag OF.
tricks" there is lot in the explanation
that win make small boy happy.

Iron and Gold by the Ton.

The total production of all metals in
the United States in 1911 was 27,S7S,-
$4,000 tons, valued at s7ss, ,O46. In
the volume of Mineral Resources pub
lished by the United States geological
survey, is a short chapter by H. d. Me,
Caskey that contains unique table, in
which for the sake of comparison the
production of all metals is reduced to
short tons. Thus pig iron, with produc-
ton from both domestic and imported
ores OF 26,04s,l62 short tons, valued at
1927 ,334,624, is contrasted with plati-
mum, the production of which was less
than ton t0.999 toni, valued at 81 ,30S,-
$50, and gold, with a production of 1907
704 tons, valued at sll9,9sl ESQ.
