Hats Taller, Shoes Longer this Spring

In the fashion department of the April WOman's Home Companion ap- pears the following fashion news about shoes and hats for this spring:
 Shoes and hats, whoever would have thought of combining the two! Yet both are now so important in their relation to the costume that it seems quite right to speak of them at the same time. Each show decidedly new and pronounced lines for spring: the hats take the up and down lines that reach to great height, the shoes long graceful lines that give the i'm precision of greater length than we have had in the past
 "ln describing the new hats the ma terials come first. Soft hemp is fa- vored, though straw braid combined with fabrics is especially well liked. Hat for general wear are moderately small but with large head sizes. They still fit way down on the head. Height is given in the shape and trimming. Brims turn way up on one side and some crowns are built higher by masses of tulle.
 And now about the shoes: The lasts that have long vamps with re- ceding toes have become more fash lonable than ever. They are seen in almost all the new shoes except those for tramping and out door sports. These are mannish and rather broad n style and have spring heels. For other shoes the half Louis, Cuban, and kidney wood-covered heels are used. Black leather, such as gun metal, is not as modish as in the past the shiny leather taking it's place. Metallic leather which is really patent leather, is new and popular in gold, silver or light colors combined with black in pumps and tango slippers. The satin slipper is still favored"

State Refuge for Birds.

Pierre the comments from the
northeastern part Of the state are any
basis as to the sentiment OF creating
a state bird refuge for game birds
Of the northwest at the old Fort Sisse-
ton reservation. the legislature will
certainly be asked TO take action, and
will at least consider the proposition
Should such a refuge be established,
the state would have control OF the
SiSseton in the east and the state
forest game preserve in the west,
while the government will care for the
national bird refuge at the big Belle
Fourche dam giving the state three
such refugees The idea has been ad.
vanced that the state might go even
farther IN its efforts to aid in the prop
agation of game, BY creating other
refugees where large tracts OF state
land are owned in several parts OF the
state.

pierre state Land Commissioner
FIepperlee and Attorney General Johh'
son have returned from washington
whore they have been looking into the
causes for DELAY in the final exchange
work between the government ana the
state on the forest reserve IheH
found that the interior department
holds that special legislation on the
part of congress is required TO com
nletc the transfer, giving the interior
department the authority to take such
action.
Assistant Secretary Jones OF the m
terror department is preparnS bih
covering the lieu lands in South Dako-
ia. Wyoming. Idaho and Washington,
states in which practically the issues
are involved, and he assures Mir Hep
perlee and Mr. Johnson that he VIII
submit the matter to congress 10Y
consideration at the present session.
The attention of the congressional rep
rrScntatives Of the state interested
was called to the situation, and they
assured hte South Dakota representa-
tiyes that they would push the issue
along.
They also in company with Con
gressman Burke called at the Indian
department TO look into the matter OF
indian land leases in Mellette county.
The state holds a number Of tracts il
that county, but since the lease prices
! on the Indian pastures in that county
have been placed at so high rate
that stOckman will not lease the In,
dian lands. there is no demand for the
state sections. The proposition being
that if the Indian leases are reduced to
a point where stockmen will consider
them. the state tracts in the same ter
ritory can be leased
