national government should assume the obligation and the maintenance Of that system The evees should be in every re- spect as high and as strong and as com plete and perfect as may be recommended by engineers of the war department or any advocate of a system of levees for protection of the lower Mississippi valleJ from overflow.
 Such a system will hold all ordinary floods. but not the great floods that pe- riodically come when several of the great tributaries are in flood in conjunction. as was the case in the spring of 1912 but such levee system supplemented by national policy of head water control under which the floods will be. SO far as possible, har- messed and controlled in the territory of their origin in. the drainage basin of the Ohio river, the upper Mississippi river and the Missouri river, will permanently safe guard the lower river country against overflow
 When that shall have been done the lower Mississippi valley will be freed from the menace of such soos disasters as that which has overta1r., it in the year 1912 Then it will be ios tle and practicable fo settle the present overflow area with a dense population Of farmers who will cultivate small farms and produce the i'm mense agricultural wealth which such a system of agriculture will make possible in ''the sugar bowl of the continent"

A Billion Dollars Worth of Food

A dense population on the lowlands of Louisiana alone will be capable of pro- ducing from two to three crops each year on 100000 acres of alluvial prairles az gregating $l,o00,00o0o0 of agricultural wealth.
 The damage from the great flood of 1912 has been so large that it is impossible to make a satisfactory estimate of the amount II has been contended that it aggregates as much as sl00,000,ooo However large 1t may have been. should 1t ever oc- cur again, it will be due to the failure of the people of the nation to turn to benefi- eial use the nations most valuable as set. the water flowing in it's great central river system. which is now an agency of enormous destruction.

UNION LABOR BEST.
The Open Shop Worker Not Skilled
Handcraftsm


The Bismarck (N. d. Tribune in o
recent issue pays high tribute to IN
ion labor. The Tribune says:
From the earliest territorial days the
Tribune has been doing state printing.
While North Dakota was in its infancy
as state the Tribune published pub
tic documents and official reports. The
work was done in the best possible
manner, and the Tribune imprint on
piece of printed matter became
guarantee of its excellence and merit.
In course of time, when other print
shops over the state were given work.
the state officials found themselves
unconscously basing their judgment
of it's merit upon the high standard
which had been set by the plant at the
capital city. Conditions in this respect
have remained practically unchanged.
Tribune work is still the criterion of
the best handiwork of the printing
craft.
The Tribune is q union shop. Were
it not it could not possibly achieve
such splendid results. The big day
light plant. well lighted and we'll venti-
lated, skilled workmen we'll versed in
every department of their trade, union
working hours and union wages for
| the craftsmen, cause each worker to
take q personal pride and interest In
the Jobs that are assigned him. A
/ - fall
the workroom, and man is less of
machine and more of brother. Ideal
working conditions add greatly to the
peace of mind of the individual ar
tisan, and he can give his very best
efforts to the work which demands his
attention. The union label has been a
potent factor in maintaining the Trib-
une imprint as the mark of quality.
Occasionally some of the state print
ing is sent to open shops. where men
slave without the protection OF union
regulations and restrictions. The SEES
sion laws of 1911 were one of these
Jobs. A man in perusing one of the
volumes found from three to five typo
graphical errors to the page and seven
teen shades of ink throughout the pub
LEGATION. The Tribune does not men
ton this because 1t did not receive the
contract. since that was awarded to
the lowest bidder in open competition
It mentions 1t to show the difference
between the union and the open shop
The printed session laws of 1911 do
not bear the union label.

HANDS WOULD CRACK OPEN

About two months ago my hands started to crack open and bleed, the skin would scale off, and the good flesh would burn and itch .dreadfully. When my hands first started to get sore, there were small bliSteTs like Wa ter blisters which formed. They itched dreadfully, it just seemed as though I could tear the skin all off. would scratch them and the skin would peel off, and the flesh would be all red and crack open and bleed. It wor- ried me very much, as l had never had anything the matter with my skin. 1 was so afraid I would have to give up my employment.
 My doctor said he didn't think it would amount to anything. But it keBt getting worse. One day 1 saw piece in one of the papers about lady who had the same trouble with her hands. She had used Cuticura Soap and Oint. ment and was cured. I decided to try them, and my hands were all healed before I had used one cake of Cuti- cura Ointment. I am truly thankful for the good results from the Cuticura Soap and Ointment, for thanks to them I was cured, and did not have to lose a day from work. I have had no re- turn of the skin trouble" (Signedl Mrs. Mary E. Breig, 2522 Brown Street, Philadelphia, Pa, Jan F, 1911.

TAFFETA'S MANY USES
MATERIAL IS THE MOST POPULAR
 OF THE SEASON.
Two-Color Gowns Much In Vogue Semblance of Severity One of the Smartest Features of the
 New Season.

Taneta has prominent place among the new materials, although the modern brands of this silk bear lit tie resemblance to the old. The choicest qualities, especially those in old blues and pinks, have a luminous surface as if they had been slightly faded by moonbeams. Shot taffeta, or changeable taffeta, as we called 1t in other days, has special vogue, cos tunes in this sort being trimmed gen erally with the two colors. There are gowns entirely of taffeta, taffeta coats, taffeta hats and trimmings of taffeta on chiffon, lace, net and every other thin fabric used. The yelling dresses, tafreta trimmed, are most effective, the bands or other ornamentations be- ing put on with close machine stitch ing.
 The illustration shows a dress quite plain, yet this severity is one of the smartest features of the new season The toilet, which is for medium dressy use, Is of shot taffeta in gray and blue and plain gray yelling. The cording used upon the bodice and long tunic is made of the yelling and silk com bined-two narrow pipings twisted to- gether-while the frilling at the neck Is of plain white silk null. This would be an admirable design for a cloth or satin street dress, and if liked pep lum could be added to the waist. If the cording seems too difficult for a yelling wait and tunic, bias of the taffeta could take its place.
 One of the most extraordinary uses of taffeta is its employment on odd chiffon bodices and on all such waists in filmy materials as would be worn with fine tailored suits. The silk and chiffon are blended together in the most patchy ways, one part of the waist being of one material and the rest in the other. There is no rule for the dividing line; the bottom of the waist may be of the taffeta, or only the sleeves and belt and peplum, for these old-time little tails are as plen- tiful as blackberries in August One stunning bodice seen recently was of white chiffon and black taffeta, with which had been thrown in some wisps of black chantilly and delicate silver embroideries. But the chiffon part of the waist, the white, was absolutely without touch of garniture, and so such parts looked singular indeed with the fussiness elsewhere.
