Artistic in the Extreme.

The model shown III my Shetcn was
eminently artistic in material as well
as design. 1t was composed of broche
silk which had a ground of bleu d'ou-
tremer (ultramarine) and convention
al designs in petunia red and smoke
gray. The little shoulder cape or
collar was in blue velvet and the same
soft material was used for the bows
which appeared at the back and in
front. The finely plated frillings
we're in smoke gray chiffon and the
lining was in shot taffeta which
showed subtle shades of red, blue and
gray. This lining was lightly yelled
in gray chiffon.
A picturesque hat is a Vatican
model in Tuscan straw. 1t is raised
on a bandeau at the back and slightly
tilted over the forehead. A broad rib
bon of deep blue velvet is passed over
the fat crown and a quantity of roses
in various shades of faded pink rest
on the hair at the backs

STATUTE ENTITLED TO TRIAL
John n. Holman Points Out
Benefits Of the Act

Operation of the new state road
law, called the Dunn law, a codlfica-
ton OF most OF the state laws on
reads, Is outlined in concise form by
President John II. Hohmann of the
Minnesota State Automobile associa-
ton in the current issue of Sparks,
the association paper. edited by Sec.
rotary G. Roy Hill. as the Dunn
law has been much discussed here,
this resume will be timely.
only a small percentage OF the in.
crease is due to the Dunn law. The
only extra taxes imposed are the one
mill dragging tax, which is new, and
the raising of the state aid tax from
one-quarter OF a mill TO one mill,
making total of one and three
quarters mills, or s1.75 on $1,000 as
sessed valuation, or $500 on quar-
ter section Of land assessed at $4,000
per acre. County boards are permit
ted to levy not to exceed three mills
(the former limit was two Mills but
very few of the counties will levy up
to the limit.
''In all about s1.400, 900 is collect
able this year from the one mill tax
Section Is of the Dunn law pro-
vides that not less than / or more
than 3 per cent of this amount shall
be apportioned to any one county.
There are Is counties whose assess.
ed valuation Is less than $1,000 900;
IS whose assessed valuation is be-
tween 100000 and $4,000, 900; Is
whose assessed valuation is between
$40 ,000.0 900 and $4,000, 900. The aver
ege valuation Of these seventy-eight
counties is less than 100000 and
n 1 mill tax amounts TO a little less
than $4,000 paid by each Of these
counties.
Under the law these seventy-eight
counties can get back not less than
$4,000, which is per cent on ST.
100000. The apportionment OF the
state road and bridge fund will SHOW
these counties received more than
Fer cent. Consequently they are
gamers under the law.
Moneys raised from the one-mill
dragging tax shall be expended by
the town boards only for the expense
OF procuring drags and dragging
town roads. The free and general
use of the drag will add greatly to
the general improvement OF our
roads.
"Under the new law the much
abused pathmasters give way to q
town overseer. Each town consti-
:utes road district and the town
overseer shall have charge OF the
construction of all town roads. and
the maintenance of all town and
county roads I'm the town. State
roads shall be constructed and main
tanned by the counties. County roads
shall be constructed and improved
by the counties and maintained by
the towns. Town roads shall he con.
structed, repaired and maintained by
the town boards, provided. however.
that county boards may aid. Road
work must be done In conformity
with rules and regulations to be
made and promulgated by the high
way commission. County boards and
town overseers have at all times the
right to call upon the district engf-
neer for advice and assistance and
supervision with regard to road and
bridge construction. Let me urge that
we give the Dunn law a good test"

Recount Of the Votes.

lie Sueur has had recount OF the
city election votes as a result of the
closeness OF the vote on the license
question. The vote was very close
and the "drys" instituted a recount
with Herman Wentworth. Thomas
II. smulIen aud Jerry Clifford as the
judges. The recount showed 222
votes for license, 214 against and ten
blank ballots. The returns were sent

whole matter now rests on the inter-

the vote for license must be ma

whether more votes than are cast for
