With Committee So That Matter
Can Be Settled.

Thief River Falls, Mimi, Nov. 27
Congressman Halvor Stevenson
who will leave Monday for Wash
ington, will meet with the drainage
committee of the local Commercial
club this afternoon. The committee
is composed of Senator D. P. O'Neil
as chairman, Fred T. Lincoln. secre.
tary, E. M. Stanton and G. Halvorson
all of this city; E. F. Chandler OF
Grand Forks, O. L. Dent of Bemidji

Senator L. N. Nord of International

Crookston, County Commissioner Will

kins, Indian agent at the Red Lake
agency.
This committee was appointed at a
recent meeting of people of this Sec
ton of the state who are more or
less interested in the improvement
of the Red Lake and Clearwater riv-
ers, with view of obviating the an
nual floods which do considerable
damage each year in the low lands
along the river.
Would Alleviate Trouble.
At meeting held here this sum-
mer, the committee was authorized
to take charge of an investigation,
with view of ascertaining just
what means could be used in allevia-
ting the trouble that have been be-
setting the settlers for several
springs. 1t was at first believed that
the matter of river improvement was
one for the state to take in hand,
but it was later decided that mas
much as the Red Lake river was a
still government navigable stream,
congress should take the matter in
hand. Congressman STEVENSON is
anxious to ascertain the wishes of
those interested in order that he may
put the matter before congress in it's
right light. Today's meeting will
decide the course that Congressman
STEVENSON will pursue, and it is al
most assured that some definite &C
ton will be taken this winter Either
the Red Lake river will be declared
navigable, and funds appropriated to
straighten or dredge the river, or it
will be declared meandering stream,
and other provisions will be made to
dispose of the water that accumulates
e:~ch spring and causes floods in the
low lands along it's course.

By Charles w. Holman,

| What does it mean when leading
citizens, representing finance, farm
ing, transportation, manufacturing,
distributing industries, and univer-
sity thought, join with state and
federal government officials to dis
| cuss waste?
What does it signify when the in
terests that people are accustomed to
view as antagonistic, come together
to eliminate waste?
From Every State.
Coming to the Chicago conference,
are delegates from almost every state.
They will represent various classes,
but the dominant class will be the
farming interests. For Organiza-
lions representing over million
farmers have already arranged TO
send delegates. These people: and
those of other classes are animated
waste from American life. They
differ in their ideas about going
about the process. But most of the
delegates desire more light.
Discuss Waste Problem. -:
The delegates believe that one of
the greatest and most immediate
waste of American life concerns the
production and distribution of food
and garment supplies. This waste
begins with the cultivation of the
soil, and ends with the preparation
of food for the table, and throwing
away of the half-used garments.
Vital problems connected with the
waste are the preparation of farm
products for market in uniform
grades, the securing of adequate
transportation vehicles and the me-
dunn necessary for successful sales.
Agricultural Cooperation Important.
OF vital need here is uniform or
ganization of farmers societies. At
present the unorganized condition of
the farmer permits hundreds of mil
lions of dollars worth of food prod
ucts to go to waste in unrealiZed pro-
fits and sometimes in unharvested,
whose value is loss to society, because
the farmers cannot ship and sell
enough to warrant the trouble. I
have seen thousands of tons Of farm
products thus rot in the unorganized
districts. But in the sections where
farmers have soundly financed and
constituted societies, this kind of
waste rarely occurs. The crops are
moved to somewhere, and somebody
gets benefit from the plentous yields.
So the delegates are going to discuss
co-operation-the kind needed and
the ways to get it.
To Check Landlordism.
The other great wastes to be dis

with the distribution of population,
and with the financing Of land pur-
chases and farm business. While
other countries have been busily
conforming their tenanted farmers
into home owning farmers, the Unit
ed States has let carelessly slip away
the public domain until there is but
little free land left. Tenants have
multiplied faster than is good for the
commonwealth. They have gotten on
| outs with their landlords at some
sections. The impoverishment of
soil and of manhood from this sys-
tenn constitutes a national waste Of
grave character and alarming mag
nitude. Delegates will earnestly
seek measures to check the growth
of landlordism and to find ways to
turn tenants and landless men into
home owners.

LINGERIE ALL IN TAFFt:TA
Popular Material Has Come Into FASH
ion for Every Sort of Use in
the Boudoir.

The newest ideas in lingerie in its
real meaning of the word are now
being shown in taffeta. When you
rest, if you would rest in approved
fashion, it must be in taffeta from
head to toe The boudoir cap that is
exquisite and new is of taffeta. The
negligee and the little mules of bou-
doir slippers are of the same material
and are trimmed with the attractive
handmade roses, lace or silk embroid-
cry that we have come to love in the
rest hour. These sets are excellent
ideas for gifts that you can make from
short pieces of taffeta, and if you do
not care to give three pieces at once
make one of a set Of staple color in
taffeta and finish it on other red letter
days. A boudoir cap that is worthy

aDas I'D FOR GENERAL WEAR
Smart Goats of Covert Cloth Service
able for Any Occasion Dur
ing the Winter.

Every winter outfit should be sup
piled with one of the smart coats OF
covert cloth for rough-and-ready wear.
These hang very full and straight
from the raglan shoulders, and are
belted about the hips.
Large, coin-shaped bone buttons are
used to fasten the coats and to trim
the cuffs.
One notices in the exclusive shops
which specialize in topcoats, whose
well-tailored lines lift them far above
the ordinary coat, exceptionally smart
models of Irish blanket cloth. They
are to be had in all colors, including
navy blue, tobacco brown, tan, hunt
er's green, beige and tete de negre.
One of the best models has a full
lower portion attached to yoke
which is extended over the shoulders
to form the sleeves. About the waist
line, at the back, are box plaits. from
which the coat hangs in full godets.
A wide stitched belt across the front
starts from under the arms and
fastens at the side front. The high
collar and cuffs are of beaver.
The straight hip-length coat contin-
ues to retain the popularity gained
earlier in the season. Some models
are single-breasted, and fasten with
frogs of braid, while others are
fastened at the side with bullet but
tons covered with the material.
A stunning model of black velvet
has a short, loose jacket bordered
with white fox. The collar buttons
close about the neck, and the long
sleeves are tightly fitted. coming well
over the hands The skirt is circular
and has border of the fur at the ex-
treme edge of the hem. This is a
practical suit, which would do service
on many occasions Washington Star.

The Reian of Blue.

Dark blue is surely as fashionable

to have it. Blue serge has been fash.
jonable for several seasons, increas-
ingly so. apparently. And it is as
much worn now as ever. OF course,
blue serge suits demand blue acces'
sories, so there are blue net blouses,
blue silk and Isle stockings, blue
handbags and other blue things by the
score. Then there are many blue vel
vet hats. Blue is one of the best
colors in the lovely new brocades for
evening wear, too. And blue velvet
even cr;rlson velvet-is not more regal
looking than rich and sumptuous vel

Charming in its simplicity is this
cape coat of moritox babylamb. The
rolling collar, silk braid agraffes and
jaunty style of coat are borrowed from
the military caPes worn by officers.
The sleeves are loose and bagsy so
as not to crush the delicate tulle
sleeves of the frock. They show a
faring cuff. A tassel-weishted sash
adds grace to the coat, and the cor.
sage of blue flowers is novel addi-

seasoned white sauce. A few bits OF
finely chopped celery and a dash Of
onion improves the flavor.
Buttered cabbage is another appe-
tizing dish. Cook finely shredded cab
bage, until tender, in salted water,
drain and put it back into the sauce
pan, add water pepper and more salt
and when well mixed few table
spoonfuls of good vinegar to give it
a zest. Serve hot.
Cabbage eaten raw is more digestf-
BILE than when cooked. When serving
it raw it should be very finely shred
ded or chopped and allowed to stand
in cold water to crisp. Drain well,
add salt, sugar, thick sweet cream and
very little vinegar. This makes a
most delicious salad to serve at any
meal.
Another cabbage salad which is
such a favorite with the Germans es-
pecially, and is named German salad,
is prepared by chopping fine small
head of cabbage and an onion and
pouring over them the fat fried out
from a good slice Of salt pork cut in
small cubes; when we'll mixed, sea-
son highly with salt and red pepper
and pour over half cupful of boiling
hot vinegar. The cubes of fried pork
may be added or used as garnish,
only be sure to add them, as they add
greatly to the salad.
Spanish onion, cabbage and green
pepper chopped together, served indi-
vidually with a hard-cooked half Of
egg chopped and sprinkled over each
serving. Serve with French dressing.
A rather unusual, but pretty way,
Of serving this vegetable is to boil
nice, solid head until tender and put
1t whole on platter with pork sau-
sage for a garnisn. Serve wedge
shaped pieces, mashed potato and
sausage.
