candidates in sight and those who

L. M. Larson is authority for the
statement that pink, salmon colored
or cerise overalls are to be popular in
Alberta. He agrees with Washing
ton scientist who says blue will give
a man the blues and should be
abolished. The reason for the radical
change in colors is due to the scarcity
of dyes. Overalls makers are up
against tough proposition because OF
the war and hereafter picking out a
pair of overalls in Alberta the buyer
will have to be content to exercise his
esthetic tastes in the color line, say
ercu, salmon, pink, mauVe or cerise.
How man will be able to do a whole
days work in pants of such riotous
color remains to be seen.
Another place of business opened is
doors in Alberta Friday OF last week
when G. L. Mowery, of Chokio, be.
gan business at the new pool hall ir
the building formerly occupied by the
Mcclellan saloon. Billiard anc
pocket-pool players in Alberta say the
place is the c!eanest, neatest and most
inviting pool hall they have ever
been in, and now that the pool hall is
here much of the opposition to its ar.
rival has vanished. Mr.. Mowery has
three tables and in connection viii
sell cigars, tobacco and soft drinks
The old saloon fixtures have been re-
arranged and will be used. 81 thinl
