They say is an irresponsible ele-
ment disturbing almost every COM
munity, and Dawson is no exception
1t would be VEAL for us all to read
and ponder the following poem by
an unknown author:
They say" All well, suppose they do
But can they prove the story true?
Suspicion may arise from nought
But malice, envy, want of thought.
Why count yourself among the
they"
Who whisper what they dare not say?
"They say" and if it should be so
Why should you tell the tale of woe?
Will it the bitter wrong redress,
Or make one pang of sorrow less?
Will it the erring one restore
Henceforth to go and sin no more?
They say" but why the tale re-
hearse,
And help to make the matter worse?
No good can possibly accrue
From telling what may be untrue.
And is it not a nobler plan
To speak OF all the best you can?

Such Proof as This Should Convince
ANY Dawson Citizen.


The public endorsement of a local
citizen is the best proof that can be
produced. None better, none strong
er can be had. When a man comes
forward and testif1es 20 his fellow
citizens, addresses his friends and
neighbors, you may be sure he is
thoroughly convinced or he would
not do so. Telling ones experience
when it is for the public good is an
act of kindness that should be appre-
ciated. The following statement CIV

more to the many cases of home en-
dorsement which are being published

The one great fault with our peo-
pie is the use of improper foods and
drinks that satisfy not and lead to
excessive alimentation. This is fol-
lowed by a morbid craving. Ignor-
ance supposes that stimulants are the
one thing needful to satisfy this NOR
bid craving. We well know that
nothing will so speedily quiet the
nervous storm as the ever-convenient
and alluring alcohol, and it does Sc
cure for a time rest and repose, but
at a fearful expense of nerve strain,
after which comes an increased de-
sire for further stimulation. This,

LENGTH OF NOMENS SKIRTS TO Be SHORTER

each suit placed on the market, as
compared with a few years ago, when
the styles were not so complicated
Not to Affect the Cost.
Considering, however, that the
majority of manufacturers have al
ready equalized the saving in cloth
on narrow skirts as compared with
the former wider models by using
some one-half to three-quarters of a
ward of material for insertion in the
'so-called divided product, it will be
seen that no revolution of styles,
/ however radical, could materially at
feet the cost of production of the
average garment of today
A majority of the leading manu-
featuring concerns seen YESTERDAY
would only touch reluctantly upon
the subject matter in hand. Impend-
ing styles are as a matter of course
more or less determined by foreign
ers; some firms do in fact go so far
as to have foreign cables each day
announcing the latest modes. Keen
rivalry between the leading New
York manufacturers restraints these
interests from announcing proposed
changes.
Greater Extremes.
1t is garnered from one of the
most eminent authorities, neverthe-
less, that any change of style which
will take place the coming fall will
more likely be in the nature of
greater extremes rather than any in
clination toward the more conserva-
tive grade of apparel. 1t is proposed,
in other words, to exemplify present
French patterns by making this falls
patterns considerably shorter in
length. The most conservative mod
els which now reach within three
inches of a woman's shoe will be
shortened from two to four inches
and will come within as much as
seven inches of the shoe.
Viewed from all angles it is diff
cult to ascertain whether or not any
radical changes from the present
styles of women's garments will be
Change With the Seasons.
AS one manufacturer puts it:
Styles will continue to change with
the seasons. Even the reduced
amount of material which has lately
gone into the manufacture of wo-
mems clothes has not lessened the
cost of the finished product, and it is
therefore unlikely that any proposed
change will be of sufficient import
ance to make for much of an in
crease over present costs"
The consensus is that divided skirts
will have their sway for at least an
other season, particularly in the
East; the more conservative garment
will have the preference in the West,
and London and Paris will, as in the
past, govern the mode of dress in
both sections.

MANUFACTURERS.

No Change From the Tight Skirt,
and Styles Are Expected to Go to
Greater Extremes Than Present
Modes. How STYLES Are Made.


Modes. How Styles Are Made.
NEW Manufactures o
women's garments in New York are
unanimously of the opinion tina
changes in fall styles of women;
skirts will 90 to greater extremes
than present modes. No change from
the tight skirt is looked for, but a
reduction in length of from one tc
four inches is predicted. This is the
result of an investigation by the New
York Commercial into the probable
effect of the protest against existing
models as voiced by the fourth dis
trict of the Federation of Women S
Clubs at St. Paul. That Organiza-
ton. in an endeavor to inaugurate
women's dress reform, has written
to every manufacturer of women S
clothing and to publishers of dress
patterns making an appeal for modi-
fication of the present styles, asking
that beginning with next season there
be furnished some very attractive up
to date garments where the width of
the bottom of the skirt shall be two
yards for a woman of thirty-siX inch
bust measure.
How Styles Are Made.
Leading garment manufacturers in
New York are inclined to the belief
that the proposal as outlined in the
circular letter may exert some influ-
ence in determining future styles in
the West, but as far as fixing any
particular mode for dress in the East
is concerned they are of the opinion
that future sayles will, as in the past,
be largely governed by English and
French authorities. There is at the
present time a very wide diversified
ton in the style and manufacture of
women's clothing. The so-called
hobble skirt has long ago been super
seeded by the more up to date slit
skirt, and while the present minimum
width of the bottom of the skirt does
not differ materially from the width
on the hobble skirt, being one and
quarter yards in the extreme produc-
ton and one and one-half yards in
the more modified article, is today
possible, according to those in the
best position to know, to obtain al
most every possible style of garment,
both conservative and extreme.
Radical Dress Reform.
Certain interests says a large
garment manufacturer, always come
forward at this season Of the year
with proposals for radical dress re-
form. The present proposal, coming
as it does at time when most East
ern women are wearing garish cos
tunes, slit skirts, ETC., seems we'll
timed, for it will undoubtedly exert
some influence in the modification of
future styles. 1t can have no effect
from an economic standpoint, how
ever.
I'm order to make woman's dress
larger at the bottom not over an ad-
ditional quarter of yard of material
would be required. At the present
average price of one dollar and fifty
cents per yard for the material util-
lied in a dress which retails at
twenty-five dollars the large majority
of garment manufacturers would be
compelled to expend some thirty-fve
cents more in the manufacture of

TO TEST SPRAYS HERE
State Department to Determine Best
Insecticide to Use ON Local Trees.

Tests which will have as their OBJ
ject the determination of the actual
value of different kinds of sprays for
the fruit trees of Thurston county and
Western Washington, with particular
reference to their effectiveness in
killing the oyster shell bark louise
which infects many trees in this dig
trict, will be conducted in orchards
near Olympia next month under the
direction Of T. o. Morrison, chief of
the horticultural division of the state
department of agriculture.
1--WE have tested all the different
sprays in the Yakima and Wenatchee
Valleys" Mr. Morrison said this week,
'and we know what they will do over
there, but We haven't tested them for
this climate. We want to find out
which are the best to use under local
conditions and when we find out, we
will recommend them to the farmers
Of this district"
In the progress of the test the exact
character and amount of the infection
of the different trees will first be de-
termined, the sprays will then be ap-
piled and examinations of the trees at
intervals later will show the effect.
