Sunday Morning Fire

Maintaining it's reputation of
a fire at regular intervals, Roman
had another one last Sunday
morning, the A. A. Dix residence
burning to the ground. Mrs.
Dix and the girls were out on the
homestead, while Mr.. Dix and
Melvin were stopping over night
in the house in town. Mr.. Dix
got up about six o'clock and
made a fire, going out immedi-
ately to the barn to attend to the
team. Melvin at the same time
left for the hog yard to feed
them. Not long after they left
a neighbor noticed that the house
was on fire and gave the alarm.
The fire was under such headWay

NO NEW COUNTY
FOR FLATHEADERS

The repeal of the Brewer and
Leighton law governing the crea-
tion of new counties and the
passage of the McCone bill defin-
ing how new counties shall here
after be created in Montana COM
pletely blasts the hopes of any
who may have had visions of a
new county in the Flathead
country.
At any time during the past
two years the people residing on
the reservation had it within
their power to break away from
the old counties and set up
housekeeping for themselves,
but they have now let their
opportunity go by and in the
future, as in the past, will re-
main an insignificant and un-
recognized part of the counties
of Flathead, Missoula and San
ders. The people here have
complained of the treatment
they have received, but they
wouldn't break away when the
chance was offered. Now they
are helpless and can continue to
complain. While there was a
chance for then to break away,
small chunks of salve were oc-
casionally administered, such as
giving us a couple of representa-
tives in the lower house of the
legislature and a member of the
state senate. But it is noticeable
that nothing having a perquisite
attached is allowed to pass to a
resident of the reservation coun-
try. We are cinched now and
in the future it will not even be
necessary to pour oil on the
troubled waters.
The corporation controlled leg
islature done the bidding of it's
master and the people are stung,
And we might say that it serves
them right. The more you think
about it, the more it makes you
believe that Barnum was right
when he said the American peo-
pie liked to be humbugged.
And Barnum would have found
a profitable field on the Flathead.

PLAIN NEEDLEWORK.
BIZ IEItN HOW r.
Confirmation Frocks.

| The simple confirmation frocll for the
girl just entering her teens can he
made at home by the mother who
knows something about plain sewing.
The styles this year are so very girl
lsh and modest that the little candi-
date is bound to look pretty. even
though her costume comes from the
hand of an amateur.
In past seasons the mother might
have found it difficult to achieve sue
cess. because the skirts were so mar
row and the waists so sloppy-looking.
Then the transparent materials used
in making frocks for this rite did not
lend themselves well to such designs.
but with the fuller skirts showing a
certain amount of decoration and the
waists carried out in fairly trim eff
feet. mothers efforts are sure to be
rewarded.
The materials favored this year are
fine cotton wolfe. both plain and snow
fake. dotted swiss and fine lawn. En-
broidery is not strictly correct for a
confirmation dress, and too much trim
ming also should be avoided. Self
trimming is always in good taste and
SO is white ribbon.
When the child is Of the plump type.
long. straight UP and down lines should
be adopted as much as possible. For
instance, II wolfe is chosen, the skirt
could be laid in inch-wide box pleats
(sent to the pleater) and hemmed on
the bottom. The pleats could run from
the belt to hem, leaving a narrow.
plain panel down the center front. The
waist could carry out the skirt effect
with pleAts from the shoulders, the top
finished with lace frill. and three
quarter sleeves ending in a similar
fashion.
The tall. thin girl will look well if
| her skirt is made quite full. either in
one piece gathered into the belt and
trimmed with several tucks going
on the same way: or. a two-tiered or
double skirt trimmed with the ribbon,
OF. again, the hens covered with
! fiat niching made from the goods. To
make the trimming cut strips on the
straight of the goods about/two to
three inches wide, according to the
width preferred, and run a cord in
either edge. drawing 1t up to form
ruching. Tine waist in baby fashion.
wide belt of ruching-say four cord
| ings-and be finished at the top with
a soft lace tucker peeping from band
of the ruching. Full sleeves could be
trimmed to match. using lace frills at
| the wrists. When the arms are thin
they should always be covered. Sleeves
for plump arms may end at the elbow.
Slender waists can stand wide CIR
dies and sashes. Plump waists must
be encircled with a narrow belt.
Plain full skirts tucked or trimmed
with rows Of lace look well when the
materials are of lawn or dotted swiss,
a little OF the lace appearing on the
waist and sleeves. The belt or gfrdle
should be of soft white ribbon.
