with having the highest motives and
good intentions in all their efforts.
Yet the theory is an error, the plan
inconsistent, the cost greater than the
benefit, not the best cause that the
taxes may be used for, and unconsti-
tutional.
Inconsistent Theory
The so-called Better Farm" move
ment was Christianed with this
catchy name for the purpose of justi-
flying itself. The appeal to "better"
the farmer is supposed to be accepted
as an axiom, or self-evident truth.
A farmer is not made better" by
his products without taking
into consideration his selling price.
If this were true then the protective
tariff theory to better a manufacturer
by looking to the advancement of his
prices, would be false. Again, under
the present system of the buyer con-
trolling the selling price of the farm

which our farmers may expect and re-

MAE PETERSON GETS Is
MONTHS IN PRISON

Fargo, N. D., June 29.-Fifteen
months at Fort Leavenworth and a
fine of one dollar was the sentence i'm
posed yesterday afternoon by Judge
Amidon of the Federal court on Mae
Peterson of Sawyer, N. D., who was
yesterday morning found guilty Of
Characterization of vice. The case
went to the jury at late hour Friday
night, the members were locked in a
local hotel and didn't return the YER
dict until about noon yesterday.
The charge against Mae Peterson
was a direct violation of the Mann act,
it being alleged that she transported
Rachael Livingston of Voltaire, N. D.,
from certain points in North Dakota
to points in Minnesota and Kansas for
the purpose of exploiting her for gain.
The charge against Mae Peterson was
brought by an indictment from the
Federal grand jury. She was arrested
in Des MONIES, Iowa.

This meeting will be held in con-
junction with the meeting of the Bur-

which meets at that time to consider
the proposition of exercising

elevator was sold last year to H. T.

Farmers company might take the
property back any time within year.
Mr.. Greeley will speak in the after
noon of July 9Th and is sure to attract
a large gathering of the farmers and
those interested in agricultural pur-
suits.

SHORT ONES

Those Mexican leaders show good
Judgment in coming to this side of
the line to plan revolutions. They
may get pinched, but that beats
standing with your back against an
adobe wall and looking into a row
of cipheTs.
With all those bombs hidden in car
goes, travel to Europe on liners is
almost as dangerous as canoeing.
Coroner Pete Hoffman wants a
street set aside for beginners to run
their autos over. He probably would
station few deputies along the line
and save hunting all over town for
remains.
Mexico City is invested again and
it's a cinch that whoever is investing
in it this time never will get a divi-
dend.
Someone else threw a bomb at the
sultan of Egypt Those fellows would
better look out or they'll get sore
arms.
If it's in style, anything looks like
q bat to a WOman.-Judge.

OF course, you know, we all help

To fail would be a shame.
I here must urge you read Sandburg,
Whose poems are just splendid.
He's a modest chap, don't care a rap,
If some do get offended.
We do detect in one, Ben Hecht,
A writer unafraid.
He can discuss witOUt fuss
The war and foreign trade.
Our Clarence Darrow sometimes

But Just the same he's gained wide

Battling for the working forces.
There's Masters, too, brings some

From a place he calls Spoon river.

Make one sit up and shiver.

He writes some charming verse.
But Jim Mannee we daily see,
His lines are short and terse.

He knows the game that leads to

Each year he's growing wiser.

IS WRONG EMBLEM
No Place for Thunder Bird on
European Flags.
According to Indian Tradition, II 10
the Recognized Symbol Of Author
ity, Dignity, Arbitration. and,
Above All, Peace.

More than twelve million fighting
men in Europe are today wearing in
sigma on their clothing or are being
led to victory or defeat by banners
depicting a bird displayed in what
Americans would call spread-eagle
style. The troops that wave the Stars
and Stripes aloft have in the past and
present been led on by the counterfeit
p-esentment of an eagle with out
spread wings. Seldom do those en-
gagged in war or mere onlookers ever
give thought to what appears to be
on consideration an odd and relatively
meaningless custom that almost
verges on fetish worship. To be sure,
one nation uses the painted or en-
broidered effigy of an elephant on Its
banners. another dragon, and so on.
but these nations are hardly civilized
in the highest sense.
Investigation of encyclopedia infor-
nation discloses no good reasons why
America, Germany and Russia should
place a bird on their national en-
blems.
Some weeks ago the Carlisle Indian
school, following the footsteps of the
American Society of Indians, adopted
as the school emblem a thunder bird
The thunder bird was designed for
the school by Angel De Cora Deitz.
the greatest authority in the world
ca Indian art From Mrs. Deitz, who,
with her husband William Lone Star
Deitz, is teaching art at the Carlisle
school, it has been learned that near
ly all the Indian tribes recognize a
bird as a symbol of authority and so
cial rank. The artist, who is Win
nebago Indian of aristocratic lineage
and who has delved deeply into Indian
legends, says that the thunder bird or
its equivalent in various forms has
been a mark of distinction and au-
thority, probably, for many thousand
years. AS a child she heard from ma
tive legendary sources the story OF
the thunder bird, and has every rea-
son to believe that 1t is as ancient as
the legend concerning the last nam
moth.

ages had passed with all the spirits
dominating land, water and air re-
naming on relative equality Ancient
Indian clans, for conveniences Of rec
ognition and occupation, had associat
ed themselves with various patron
spirits. The story of the achievement
of domination by the thunder bird IL
tedious, but tells how fatigued war
rior of the thunder-bird clan lay ex
hausted at the edge of a precipics
watching still waters far below. His
attention was attracted by the dis
turbance of the limpid depths, from
which the water spirit emerged t
meet the thunder bird in deadly con
fict. The observer is supposed tt
have been the only human being wht
has ever seen these spirits. AG ont

nightgowns, corset covers, combina-
tions, chemises and drawers. Medal
lions of fine embroidery of lace, set
into the material, are especially liked.
And everywhere ribbons are used. The
ribbonless undergarment is hardly to
be found.
Two new nightdresses are shown in
the picture, one Of them with sleeves
made of rows of valenciennes inser-
ton stitched together. Sleeves of this
kind are immensely popular, and the
new corset covers are provided with
them. The body of the gown is sim

gether and shaped at the top to fit a
shallow yoke and lace sleeves

sleeping" Bullet Least Dangerous.
Physicists have shown the world OF
warning men that the firing line of SOL
diers must be regulated If fewer cas-
ualties are to result. Close upon the
enemy's fire or far away result in the
most unbeatable wounds; midway be-
tween the range of the rifle bullets Is
the most satisfactory position.
The reason is that the distance
which bullet travels is divided into
.hree parts, the first distance the bull
ct travels in a wabbly manner, either
lp and down or sidewise; the middle
distance it Sleeps" or moves on an

implored the warrior for he'll with
specious pleas. Eventually he aided
the thunder bird, and the water spirit
sank, never to be seen again.
Among the Indians the thunder bird
stands for authority, dignity, arbitra-
ton and, most important of all, peace.
There are many who believe that the
emblem of a bird with widespread
wings has been appropriated by the
Europeans from ancient America. II
so, it is an unfortunate perversion
that makes the symbol of arbitration
and peace the banner which leads to
war and devastation.

WI lille the winter evenings are long,
w and stormy days tempt one to
the coziness of indoors, undermuslins
for the coming spring and summer are
made. They beguile the mind with
thoughts of summer time and provide
work that is not at all trying. The
average needlewoman can make them
as pretty to look at and little moro
carefully finished than the ready-made
garments, although there is not great
saving in cost.
Ready-made undermuslins may be
bought in several grades, the price in
creasing according to the amount OF
handwork and the quality of the max
ing in the garments. Very good mate
rails are used in the moderately priced
as well as the higher priced pieces. 1t
is wonderful, in fact, how such good
looking things can be bought for such
low prices. But the homemade gar
ment has two points of superiority over
the ready-made. More attention Is
given to details of finishing, and the
individual taste of the wearer, in laces
and embroidery, has chance to make
itself apparent.

edgings. lace patterns in headings, and

A BLOUSE of white crepe de chine
IA draped with wide shadow lace in
a fine and novel pattern and having
half-sleeves of lace, has proved itself
to be one Of the most useful and de-
pendable articles for the wardrobe of
any woman. The same design In
light pink, light blue. or maize, is
equally pretty.
The underblouse of crepe is plain,
with front and back gathered along
the shoulder seam, and sleeveless.
The lace drapery is merely a short
jacket heightened at the side but not
reaching to the waist line.
A medici collar of the lace is gath
cred at the back and supported by
wires. 1t is extended down the front
at each side of the blouse to the bot
tom.
The second blouse is designed to
match a suit and is made of dark
colored chiffon draped over an under
waist of lace and chiffon. 1t is made
with a short yoke at the back and
front and has long, fashionable nous
.quetaire sleeves.
A pretty lace chemisette with far
ing collar is set in at the front. and

Many of the latest models In

less they are detachable. as collars
become quickly soiled. But chemisettes
with standing collars are made to be
