Then, folding the material, place the
yoke on a lengthwise fold and to the

The back can be in either pleated or

surplus fullness must be eliminated as

are employed to add the black note on

even on wash materials adjustable
frils of black lace and silk are used,
the frills having headings of braid,
which are supplied with buttonholes
placed very close together so that they
may be buttoned on to the petticoat.

is too valuable an industry. It Is intimately connected with feeding the people and it's exploitation for profit by private concerns charging all the traffic will bear, is one that is crime against the people now clamoring on account of high prices and costly food.
 The enormous fishing resources of this section, not even touched as yet, should be something more to the government than a mere matter of concern as far as the profits of the companies operating therein are affected It should be matter of solicitude that this great field for food supply should be efficiently and. quickly exploited by the people for the people that the magnificent food product, lying here untouched, could be brought to the millions who are eager to assist in it's con- sumption.
 Here is a great field for govern ment enterprise which developing the industry, develops simultaneous ly the country with which that in- dustry is connected. If it is right that the government should protect the profits of the trust, open the industry up and develop it for that purpose, is it not far more worthy of active endeavor that the govern ment should develop it for the pur- pose of satisfying the needs, the real needs of the people?
