Chafee Company Style
Show Another Success

| Spring begins March p, and the C.
G. Chatfee company, desiring to en-
,, phasize the passing of winter and the
coming of spring, put on the annual
style show which has become a not
able event for the patrons of that In
stitutiOn.
The elite of Valley City's followers
of fashion crowded the Chaffee en-
porium early in the evening to be en-.
tertained and RECALLED with a showing
of all the latest styles in millinery and
wearing apparel.
Hearings orchestra furnished a mu-
sic program that lasted throughout the
evening.
A stage had been erected and was
all set for the appointed time. It was
decorated with red and green flowers.
and in the center a large basket Of
American Beauty roses gave a frag-
rant welcome to those who came as de-
voices of Dame Fashion.
Miss Mary McGregor and Miss Irene
Jefferson acted as ushers. The apparel
was shown with living models, and
each garment was accompanied by 8
millinery creation selected by experts
as entirely fit and appropriate to-
match.
Those assisting as models were Mrs
Won Schultes, Mrs. Isaacson, Misses
Violette Peterson, Florence Beachem,
leila Martin, Bertha and Gladys
Schroeder, Celestine Stable, Essa and
Esther Hamilton, Hope Wallace and

Each line of garments were shown
by groups of models, and the show
not being for men, for once the models
were RELOCATED to the background, and
the artistic creations of milliner,
dressmaker and tailor scintillated
with all the glisten and grandeur Of
the vernal season.
The list of stylish creations shown
was long one, including coats, suits.
skirts, waists, wraps, in fact every

please the most fastidious women. And
such colors-all the colors of the rain
bow-and every other bow. Every

were exhibited, as we'll as the correct
mode of making and wearing. It gave
those fortunate enough to attend that
grand and glorious feeling that comes
with surfeit of good things.

Golden Year at Hand
for States Farmers

Chairman John H. Rich, of the fed
eral reserve bank of Minneapolis re-
Gently issued the following statement:
A double opportunity of adding
greatly to their profits and of per-
forming an exceedingly necessary SER
vice to the public is open to the rarm-
ers of the ninth federal reserve district
this year. A food shortage exists over
practically all of the world. Many mil
lions of men have been withdrawn
from the agricultural occupations; and
irrespective of the size of the 1917
crops in this country, any excess over
home demands will be greatly needed
in other parts of the world. 1t appears
safe to assume that price levels will
be very favorable.
Agriculture is the greatest business
of this district. At this time it is of
the utmost Importance. In addition
to the European shortage of wheat,
and with Russian supplies tied up,
Argentine, which in 1915 produced
17S million bushels of wheat, now faces
almost complete failure of the crop.
In the United States there was a de-
ficiency in the 1916 crop, as compar-
ed with the previous year, of All mil
lion bushels of corn, 1856 million BUSH
els of wheat, 29S million bushels Of
oats, and Al million bushels of barley,
to say nothing Of other grain crops,
while this country was also short "a
million bushels in potato production,
and short in the years crop Of fruit,
beans and onions. Sheep in the Unit.
ed states are less than in 1911 in num-
Der, swine are less in number, and
cattle show very small increases.
During this period the increase in pop
ulation has been very great, the
growth being estimated at from eight
to ten million people. 1t is therefore
apparent that live stock production is
also short. Wheat, corn, oats and bar
ley were all short in 1916 as compared
with the previous five year averages
for the United States. Grain and live
stock will be the money crops this
year.
The present situation in these north
western states is very interesting.
According to the most reliable figures
that can be obtained, there are in
Minnesota, North and South Dakota
and Montana, approximately SO million
