The Costume.

dence they had planned and executed costume for Penrod, and the only mis- giving they felt was connected with the tractability of the Child Sir Lance lot himself.
 Stripped to his underwear, he had been made to wash himself vehement ly; then they began by shrouding his legs in a pair of silk stockings, once blue, but now mostly Whitish. Upon Penrod they visibly surpassed mere ampleness, but they were long, and it required only a rather loose imagina- tion to assume that they were tights. The upper part of his body was next concealed from view by a garment so peculiar that it's description becomes difficult In 1886 Mrs. Schofeld, then unmarried, had worn at her coming out party dress of vivid salmon silk which had been remodeled after her marriage to accord with various epochs of fashion until a final unSkillfuI cam paign at a dye house had left it in a condition certain to attract much at tention to the wearer.

 The area thus costumed ceased at the'waist, leaving a Jaeger-lille and Un- medieval gap thence to the tops oe the stockings. The inventive genius of woman triumphantly bridged it. but in manner which imposes upon history almost insuperable delicacies of mar ration. Penrod's father was an OI1 fashioned man.

They expressed the opinion that the Lusitania was badly handled in being run into waters where it was known submarines were waiting. Although not for moment attempting to shift the blame from the Germans for the sinking of n ship full of innocent pas sengers. they insisted that the officers of the steamship, knowing that subma- rines were lurking off the Irish coast. ought to have taken a different path to avoid all danger.
 The criticisms of the 100 survivors. among whom were fifty Americans. were in main as follows:
 First. - That the Lusitania steered straight into the way of the submarines by Captain Turner not running the ship in a more southerly course as he ap- preached the channel.
 Second.-That instead of the Lusitana being speeded at the top notch of twenty five knots an hour she slackened speed on nearing the Irish coast, thus allowing the submarines more easily to do their deadly work, her soeed at the time she was tor pedoed being estimated by the passengers at approximately fifteen knots an hour. iStatpncnts have been made on good au- thority in New York that the after sec cion of the Lus'tanias boilers were shut down and that consequently she could not make over twenty-two knots or in brief squirt twenty-three knots)
 a Third.-That despite the knowledge of the proximity of submarines. which had been seen off the Irish coast twenty-four hours before. no convoy was given the Lusitania.

 Mr. Wilson spoke calmly and as if his thoughts regarding the Luistania incident had been clarified in the iso- lation at Washington in which he has pondered over the crisis facing the government There was no suggestion of heat or m inclination toward ag. gressive measures, and at the end, when his remarks regarding peace had been approved so distinctly by his audience. he declared that his spirit as an American had been renewed hy the opportunity which had been furnished him 10 sense the thoughts that are moving in the public mind, thing which he said 1t was exceedingly difti- cult to do at Washington because Of the propensity of many people to send him reports which are inaccurate.

Assert That Suggestions That Passengers Be Drilled Were b. nored-"Can't Get Us." Cap- tain Reported to Have Told Committee-ouestion of Boat Orders.

In fu!iillment of her warning. pub lished in American papers, Germany has sent to the bottom of the ocean the giant Cunnrdcr. Lusitania. with 1,1aG souls. The total list of survivors is TG4. including 4G2 passengers and BOP members of the crew The suhma- rine which caused the catastrophe is believed to be one of the powerful U class craft, held responsible for the loss of the steamship Falaba and oth. CT passenger and freight ships in Brit ish waters.
 The suddenness of the attack caused terrific loss of life. as the deadly mis- sies came without warning while the passengers were dining. and the Lusi- tania disappeared beneath the waves within fifteen minutes.
 These are the points that have been esta blished:
 No warning of the attack was given
 Several torpedoes were hurled nj the ship: some say four and others seven,
 Two or at most three of the missiles struck the Lusitania..
 One. of the torpedoes entered No. l stokehold and another the engine room.
 Conflicting reports as to the side struck suggest that more than one sub marine may have participated
 There was no panic on the vessel. the crew going coolly about the work of preparing to save passengers.
 Captain Turner promptly turned the Lusitania toward shore.

In our own county three of the

To those who receive a copy of

they prevail in Emmons county.
Editor Canterbury, of the News,
while new man on the job, has
shown at the start that he is re-
sourceful, competent and indus
trious. The Record has received
many words of commentator
and its editor feels that the many
hours of hard work and business
worry in accomplishing the OBJ
ject he sought have not been
without results. Practically all
of the work of the big sixteen
page special edition had to be
handled by the regular force
which meant that Mrs. Burge,
Miss Dawson and the writer,
with the help of Master Herman
Bertheau outside of school hours,
had to extend themselves to the
limit. To A. N. Junge, Lester

While the writer was in Aber-
deem last week he met Ford Ziet
low, of the Dakota Central
Telephone Company, and the
matter of the turning down of
their application for a franchise
in Linton was discussed. We
did not know that it had been be-
fore the council recently as there
had been little discussion of the
matter and the telephone people
had no representative present.
1t was up at a meeting a week
ago Monday night and the re-
quest was refused.
The council members are not
to be blamed for refusing to give
franchise privileges until they
know where they are at and can
be certain that the party receiv-
ing the same will live up to all
agreements. Several months ago
a representative of the Dakota
Central was in Linton and stated
that it was the intention of the
company to put in copper wire
south and better local EXCHANGE
facilities, if they could secure
from the council the franchise
which they have never had as
yet.
1t seems that there should be
little trouble in getting together
on this matter. The Dakota
Central need and are entitled to
a franchise. The local people
need and are entitled to better
telephone facilities. When such
facilities are provided the com
pany is entitled to the franchise.
They were on the ground first, or
they would likely have the fran,
chise now. 1t would be hard
matter to put them out, yet
would be on a better footing were
they possessed of a proper fran
chise. AS matter of fact, they
seem ready and willing to give
US the copper wire which ha.
been so long needed and would

Dale, N. D., Nov. Is, 1915.
From an old settler who came
to Dale, N. D., in June, 1884.
There are certainly lots OF
chanees,in North Dakota since
we took a homestead in 1884.
The homes on claims were chief
| ly sod dugouts with a very few
log shanties, whereas now there
are fine houses barns and silos.
The chief means of locomotion
then were oxen and it took a or
S days to take a load of grain to
Eureka, if we got any, as several
times we were hailed out. Now,
railroads have come nearer, and
if a person wants to 60 to town
they just crank up the auto and
are there in a short time and can
get what they want, while in
1884 it was SIS miles by oxen to
do trading, so a supply was laid
in to last quite a while. There
were hardly any cows, chickens,
pigs or stock, but now North
Dakota is noted for its stock and
blooded cattle, horses and hogs.
There were no creameries, and if
a person had more milk than they
could use it was fed to chickens,
etc, as there was no sale for it,;
but now in dry years the cream,
butter and eggs have been the
salvation of the county farmers,
making them independent of the
grain crops and able to improve
and develop the country. If any
one was sick in olden times there
was no doctor except at the Forts
across the Missouri. Now, with
telephones in most all the farm
houses it is only a question of a
short time before the doctor
gets to the house; and while.
every one helped their neigh.
bors in sickness, doing the best.
they could, now they can get a
trained nurse in a very short
time.
School facilities also are excel
lent so that the young folks may
be educated to be patriotic and.
help in the development of the
country. Taking all in all North
Dakota was a good country to
live in years ago, and it certainly
has improved greatly in all ways
and is good to live in now.
