While in Bemidji Saturday for the
purpose Of aiding the farmers of this
community in organizing farmers
mutual fire insurance company, J. A.
o. Preus, state insurance commits
sioner, addressed a large number of
prominent citizens at a smoker held
in the Commercial club rooms in his
honor. The businesslike, intelligent
and earnest manner in which he told
of Minnesota insurance conditions
caused much favorable comment. Al
though Preus is a candidate for state
auditor, he touched only lightly on
politics. From a campaign stand
point, Preus's visit was not neces-
sity, for he will carry Bemidji and
Beltrami county at the primary and
general election polls by a
larger majority than any 9TH
er candidate for state office. If
elected, Jake, as he is best known,
will make one of the best auditors
this state has ever had.

It is hard to be dealt with as "child
material when one Is only an ordinary
little boy. TO be sure, child material"
Is never thrashed as little boys were
wont to be. 1t is not required to do
what it is told 1t enjoys rights and
privileges Of very sacred and exalted
character; but, on the other hand, it is
never let alone, and to be let alone is
sometimes worth all the ministrations

urgent. He quickly nude up 2t1isl dis

substituted cap, the classic cap Of
the Apaches. He then Jumped into an
auto. He was not recognizable, or,
rather, he would onot have been IL the
honorable inspector had not retained
upon his breast the red ribbon Of the
Legion Of Honor, ribbon that he
had heroically won at Chofsy.le-Roi.

This plain, quickly made little gown
(728D will be found very comfortable
later in the season, when to be cool is
the thing most desired.
Na1nsOOk or cotton crepe are both
suitable and dainty for garment of
this kind. Cotton crepe is favored for
its washing qualities and low price; It
is quite fad to use it in blue, pink
and lowered designs for underwear
Although pure white has ever been
most favored for this use, these deli
cate colOrs have lately been adopted by
many dainty women. .-
An edging of cluny lace is effective
II the gown is made of the crepe;
when nainsook or linen is used hand
embroidered design across the front is
pleasing for trimming or insertions of
y Valenciennes lace.
This gown requires for size SO 3%
yards of SO inch material
The pattern is cut in 4 sizes; 80
