PRICES FOR PUFFs.

The editor Of an eastern paper has
grown peevish. He has been pestered
so much by people desiring free puffs
that he facetiously refers to himself
as the "Peerless Prince of Puff Pur-
veyors." He thinks he has done
enough for the social queens, minis
tiers who are looking for free adver-
Using, people who have legislative
fads they wish to push and organiza-
tons which want free publicity, so he
has evolved the following scale of
prices for puffs:
For telling the public that man is
a successful citizen, when everyone
knows he is as lazy as hired man,
$2.7O
Referring to deceased citizen as
one who is mourned by the entire COM
munity, when he will only be missed
by the poker circle, Sob. @
Referring to one as hero and a
man of courage and one who will
stand by his honest convictions, when
everybody knows that he is moral
cents, 1921.
Referring to some gallivantin' fe-
male as an estimable lady whom it is
pleasure to meet and know, when
every man in town would sooner see
Satan coming, $50. s
Calling an ordinary pulpit FOUNDER
an eminent divine, 6Oc. @
Sending doughty sinner to Hea-
ven, $500.
Referring to deceased merchant
who never advertised in his life as q
progressive citizen, $4.99.
Lambasting the daylights out of the
demon rum at the request of the local
| prohibition committee, $6.77. #
Ditto for the prohibitionists at the
request of the local wet committee
$6.77.

If Minot young women want to APP
pear strictly in the latest style, they
will have to invest in "plug hats" like
father wore the night he was elected
high chief Of the Order Of Gazaboos.
The "plug hat" is the proper thing.
The smaller the woman the larger the
hat. The swagger stick is expected to
go with the hat. Then there are the
fur-topped boots, short skirts with
just the merest flash Of white hosiery.
.Mirot girls have not appeared in such
advance styles yet, but they are not
so very slow and most any old kind Of
extreme fashion may be expected.

Flowing for the season has been
ended by the cold weather. Farmers
got a late start with the work because
rains delayed threshing and thruout
the state not more than half OF tne
fall blowing has been completed: Thls
means that tillers of the soil Will
have to be up and coming early in
the spring. Traction engines will be
in demand. Horse flesh will be much
higher than during the fall months.

Swain and George Matthews were re
united as buglers for the first time in
twenty-five years and with Ralph
Little played many old bugle calls to
arouse the farmers enroute. The dis
play of American flags, the music by
the band from Whitewater, the bugle
calls and the enthusiasm of the boost
ers brought the interest Of the country
residents to its highest pitch. The
Richmond booster trip was gotten up
by A. N. Chamness, Horace Kramer
and L. S. Bowman
The Centerville trip passed through
the towns of East Germantown, NIL
ton Cambridge City and Dublin before
reaching Hagerstown. To the town of
Centerville goes the credit for the
biggest turnout. OF the thirty.five
machines which reached Hagerstown
in that party, twenty-five started from
Centerville. Every car was loaded,
the average number OF passengers be-
ing five to machine.
A feature of the good roads trip,
was the unusually good condition Of
the roads. Smooth as paved streets
for miles, the roads gave comfortable
riding except at times when the dust
became heavy. The excellent con-
ditions of roads was a subject of con-
slant discussion.
A source of much comment, was
the Teetor-Hartley band, led by
Lothian Teetor, who has refused po-
sitions as cornetist with the Chicago
symphony orchestra and other big
musical organizations. The band was
literally applauded, many automobile
drivers adding their horns and Kalx-
ons to the noise. The Whitewater
band boys played excellent music and
were applauded for leaving their work
and going to the meeting. This held
true also of the Fountain City Drum
corps.
