A Story About the Eskimos.

The Eskimos live near the North Pole.
 It is always cold there
 They are always dressed in fur. The Es1imos eat the bubbler of the whale and fish.
 The Eskimos live in huts. They have a stone lamp to do the cooking, and light and warm the hut. The Eskimos have dogs to draw their sleds, and they often move from place to place to find seal and fish.

ON PICKING A PRESIDENT

After every election there springs
up crop of new theories and sugges-
tions of how to do away with the
electoral college and choose presi.
dent in manner Npre truly repro
sentative of the will Of the people.
Whatever may be said in favor of
the electoral college it must be borne
in mind that in 1876 Tilden had 252,.
224 more popular votes than were ac-
corded to Hayes and yet Hayes be-
came president by the disputed vote Of
one elector.
In 1884 Grover Cleveland had cnly
81 more electoral votes than were given
to James G.. Blaine, and 36 out Of these
81 were given to him by majority Of
l149 votes in the state of New York.
In other words, 1l49 voters in New
York polled 36 electoral votes. Blaine,
on the contrary carried Pennsylvania
by Sl,0l9 votes, which majority gave
him only 30 electoral votes, and then
Maine, with six electoral votes, gave
him aO,o69 majority. That is to say,
Maine and Pennsylvania together gave
Blaine majority of 101,08S votes, car
rying SO electoral votes, while Cleve-
land with majority of only 1149 in
New York state gained the same number
in the electoral college.
There is admitted inequity in this
| h,,k
pen if we chose president by popular
vote:
| Every Democratic candidate would
be certain of huge majorities from
the solid south. President Wilson this
year received majority Of 10000
in Texas, 10000 in Georgia, 10000 in
Alabama, $4,000 in Mississippi and sim
liar huge votes in other southern states.
These majorities are regular thing
year after year whatever the issues,
whatever the abilities Of the candidates.
They are given to Democratic candidates
on any and all issues.
| It. is folly to balance this vote of
the south against the pluralities given
to Mr.. Hughes in the states he carried,
states that were debatable ground like
New York, which gave the Republican
candidate 10000, New Jersey with
$4,000 and Illinois with its 100000 in
Mr.. Hughes favor.
Omitting the solid south and count
ing only those states where the popu-
lar vote is responsive to popular opin-
ion and influence, we find that Mr..
Hughes received aggregate pluralities
of $4,000 carrying 255 electoral votes,
states in which the result was ever in
doubt before election day totaled only
36S,000 and carried only 137 electoral
votes.-Statesman

New Russian Blouses.
Russian blOuses are gaining stronger
hold day by day and they have become
so universally popular that the name
now stands for almost any kind of a
blouse that has peplum. The high
fcollar and side closing which once typi-
fled the Russian blouse are no longer
symbols Of it, for this blouse has taken
on manifold new forms. Many of them
slip on over the head and are opened
in front revealing a contrasting vest;
and as to the high collar, it has been
quite usurped by the flat rolling collar.

Blouses Of this type are made up for
dressy wear and they are not only in
self toned Georgettes and chiffous, but
in fIowered and oriental designs in
these sheer fabrics. They are worn
with suits or separate skirts.
Black satin and black velvet are very
smart for separate skirts. Some pretty
striped velvets with colored stripes on 3
black background are also used fol
skirts, and they are wonderfully at

RAISES SUGAR BEET PRICE

An increase of approximately one
dollar ton on sugar beets grown in
1917 will be paid the formers of the
intermountain country by the Utah
Idaho Sugar Company and the Amalga-
mated Sugar Company. Announcement
to this effect was made yesterday fol-
lowing the meetings of the board OF di-
rectors of the two concerns. The Utah.
Idaho directors met in Salt Lake and
the directors of the Amalgamated Com
pany met in Ogden.
meetings provide for the payment Of
81 a ton for.the 1917 crop of beets run
ming not less than Is per cent in sugar
content. No other stipulations were
made with reference to the payment.
The officers of the two companies an
nounced that all growers would be treat
ell alike, irrespective of present con-
tracts.
The price authorized marks the high
est price ever offered or paid for sugar
bects in the intermountain region. 1t is
estimated that the advance allowed
will add something like $l,500,000 to
the bank accounts of the beet growers
during the coming year.
In making the announcement Of the
increase in price of beets, the officials
of the companies declared that the ac-
tion was taken with a view to permit
ting the farmers to share in the general
prosperity of the sugar industry
and the country in general.
At the present time the sugar COM
panies are paying the farmers from
$5.35 to about Sc ton for beets, de-
pending upon the sugar content. This
years crop in the intermouhtain coun-
try is estimated at 1,25O,OO0 tons. With
the advance in price it is anticipated
that farmers will devote q great deal of
attention to beet growing during 1917,
and that the crop will be increased to
the extent Of approximately half mill
ion tons.

BLACKTOOT TO HAVE

The f. Forrest Taylor Company,
which is booked to appear at the Or

best known theatrical organizations in

all of their own special scenery, elec-

Guiding specially made furniture. From
press notices coming to this office,
from everywhere this popular company
has appeared, we feel sure that local

used in bands at the lower edges of
skirts and suit coats and is also used as
a decoration for collars, cuffs and
pockets. The work is done in machine
stitching and usually the same color
silk as the background is used.
The sketch above illustrates the con-
ventional diamond-shaped design, but
other designs of less conventional
character are also utilized. In this at
tractive one-piece frock Of satin, the
belt and lower edge of the skirt are
quilted. Some suits of satin and silk
have been seen with quilting on the
collar, cuffs and pockets.
limitations of the quilting idea have
also been carried out in heavier ma.
terials. For instance, very good look
ing full length coat was worked with
heavy navy blue silk in the diamond
shaped quilted design on mustard col
or background. The large square pock
cts were entirely covered with this
work, touch of it was on the cuffs, and
the collar also had some of it. Mustard
is one of the very popular colors fol
separate coats. Numbers Of them are
seen at present, some unrelieved by any
trimming, and others with collars Of
Hudson seal or other black furs. Some
of them also have bands of fur at tht
edge of the sleeves or of the coat it
self.
The Present Styles Very Youth Giving
The woman who has not invested
in a one-piece frock this season mus'
feel very much out of the swim Of fash
ion. AS the days go by, more and more
of these frocks are seen in serge, broad
cloth, wool jersey, velours, velvet an'
velveteen. When top coat is not ne
cessary, shoulder cape of fur is th'
usual accompaniment. Straight line
continue to be the most approved il
this type of dress, for the fashion thes'
days is to be slim, and no better wa,
of obtaining this effect is to be ha'
than by wearing dresses cut to thes
lines. Fashion dispenses these you'll

and it is no wonder that women hav
taken so kindly to them for they max
