earl {. MANNIs
FUEL DIRECTOR

Earl E. Mann has received the ap-
pointment as fuel director for the
counties Of Ramsey, Pierce, Benson
and Towner. The appointment was
made by State Fuel Director, j. R.fBa-
ker, Of Bismarck. It is the aim Of the
directors that no boarding Of coal or
other fuel shall be allowed by dealers,
and further to see that the fuel shall
be SO distributed that there shall not
be an over supply in one place and a
shortage in other places. Mr.. Mann
will make a good man for the position.
1t is quite a big undertaking, but we
believe that the fuel POLLEN will be
worked out so that all parts Of North
Dakota will be taken cart Of.
Pierce, Benson and Towner counties
each have a sub-director who will at
tend to the wants Of their individual
counties under the direction Of Mr..
Mann. AS soon as he received his APP
pointment he sei.t appointments to the
following men who will look after the
needs of the several towns in the coun-
ty as follows:
J. G. Nichol, Churchs Ferry.
C. M Peterson, Penn.
Charles Todd, Grand Harbor.
A. E. Southam, Crary.
Charles Reblilard, Doyon.
John S. Hove, Bartlett.
Dennis Kelly, Webster.

Ben Burt. So1tl am.
Thor Nestegard, Ramsey.
At the same time he asked for in
formation as to how much coal these
communities had received tbs fall,
with the amount still on hand of both
hrd and soft coal, and also what m
cunt will be needed in the next thirty
DAYS and the average total amount for
the coming winter. Replies were re-
ceived from, most of the towns very
promptly. Cray and Doyon reported
no hard coal on hand with the other
towns very generally short. The plan
Of the national fuel administration is
to send out coal in the proportion OF
two cars of soft to one of hard. I'm
doubtedly this Method would work IN
many localities hut the smaller towns
and country district depend almost
wholly for heat on hard coal burners
which condition will make this ratio
out of proportion to the soft Goa
needs. This matter is being ATTENDED
to in hopes that it can be satisfactor
lily adjusted.

Frs.

In an up-country town where the To-
cal Liberty Bond selling committee
had taken the poll list and apportion-
ed each voter the amount Of bonds it
was thought, he should buy, there lived
q retired farmer on the outskirts Of
town, and against his name the sum
of $500 was placed. This farmer was
rather a quiet man Of few words, but
had been known as fright" in all mat
tiers affecting the welfare Of the town.
Last Monday he went to the captain
of the team Of the district in which he
lived and asked: elbow much have
you assessed me on this Liberty Bond
sale?
"Five hundred dollars" promtly re-
piled the captain, at the same time
wondering what the response would
be.
The farmer looked at the captain
with narrowing eyes for a moment.
$50 you rate my patriotism at $500,
do you? You have another guess
coming. I have been in this country
over IS years; l hadn't a cent when I

When we talk of overalls, however,
it does not mean that we must give up
all those fascinating summer clothes
we have been planning to wear just as
soon as the weather would be warm
enough to allow us to indulge in them.
For, of course, there will still be times
to dance, and then we shall wear those
ravishing frocks of net and organdy,
chiffon and tulle, and those other airy
nothings which are so necessary to the
happiness of women. Then, too, there
will come the times to play when we
shall revel in those wonderfully at
tractive sports clothes with gay strip
ed and plaid skirts and the smart belt
ed MILDLY blouses.
But, to go back to the overalls
Whether women are really going to de
vote great deal of time to farming
in earnest, or whether they are simply
going to cultivate the small plot in the
backyard to raise the vegetables for
the family supply, an overall SUIT is
the thing 10 get. 4'''
The sketch shows suit of very
practical overalls. This is the kind
that is worn with any separate blouse,
the top of the overalls geing made in
jumper effect. The bloomers are
roomy and comfortable. They are
gathered at the lower edge and Sc
curely tucked under the tops of the
high lace shoes, which are the correct
shoes to wear for gardening. No dirt
or twigs will get in and make the feet
uncomfortable when the boomers are
ARRANGED in this way with the shoes
laced up over them.
Some overalls are made ali in one
with waist and sleeves sewed in, form
| ing a complete costume which elimin-
ates the necessity of wearing a waist
underneath. This style is preferred by
some women.
The overalls illustrated have been
adapted by the National American
Woman Suffrage Association whose
members use them in the agricultural
department. n
There is growing demand for over
alls for women since the agricultural
field has been opened up to them as il
never has been before; but not alone

other. Women's overalls are also

fabric which has always been used for

just now there is no doubt that the
time has come to shoulder the hoe and
cultivate the land. Women as well as
men are joining the great army OF the
soldiers Of the soil for which the coun-
try calls, for this is one of the ways in
which we are urged to "do our bit" in
giving helpful service.
Women who are seriously taking to
farming and gardening have had to de
eide on suitable clothes to work in.
They have adopted practical overalls
and simple uniforms consisting Of a
short skirt and plain, practical waist.
