GREAT BEND

Be of good cheer and sun Is
coming nearer. AID soon will be
the beginning of spring time, and
the robins. meadow larks and
other birds will get ready to come
to our country. and the ,clinu-
tions for a good summer and a
prosperous year. Last winter we
had quite a lot OF foggy weather
and this winter we had none to
speak Of. So be Of good cheer
you pioneers. we have the country
and the best of soil, and we have
he best energetic people in Rich
land in all lines. Trusting God.
and having faith in the country.
\ great many of US know and can
rameber back when the county
was very thinly settled; no rail-
roads in the county; and the now
city of Wahpeton had nothing but
a homestead shandy and about
one or two small shacks. And
to day in our time; is a city of
5000 to 1000, with street railway
and all the modern improvements
any city has. And we should feel
proud as a people to see all these
improvements in our time. Once
a county with hardly any people
and today number of cities such
as HankinSon, Lidgerwood, WIND
mere. Paramount. Mo0reton. Bar
ncy. Dwight Walcott and others;
not forgetting Great Bend, once
called Berlin" and at that time
controlled the county election
power.
We know of time when we had
to go with oxen to Elizabeth City
or Fergus Falls to get our flour
for our families and we felt hap
py and contented: and today We
go with autos. This brings the
country and city people closer to
gether. and in the summer when
the roads are fairly good: we can
reach any city or village i'm about
from | to- hours time: alG not
forgetting the farmers as ma ~
of them have a. modern homes
as the city people have: and they
are always glad to associate with
their city friends; and our young
people are mostly acquainted bv
attending one or the other; high
school Or the ScicAce school.
TO show you what can be done,
I and my family started to attend
on" of the Fargo churches in the
morning after breakfast, and had
enough time too. The people did
not know whether we were from
the city or from the country so
miles away. SO we can readily
see that we are a great deal clos :
or together then we were 40 years
ago. And why should we not be
more social then we were years
ago, and as we have come so
close together as friends and
neighbors. \ great many Of our
children have attended school to-
gcthcr and arc the best of friends
and are always glad to have a
friendly visit. We have a bow
that is attending the 5th year in
school and we are very glad if he
has some of his friends call on
him and | know tn are havi..s
the best kind of time. We should
feel proud that we are of these
peple that are so blessed to SEE
Il country grow as has our Rich
land county and the good state nf
North Dakota: with all the great
improvements that have been
made in our time. May God grant
that we NAV he protected with
that peace and prosperity in the
future.

that is catarrh. Catarrh being greatly
Influenced by constitutional conditions
requires constitutional treatment.

CUBAN REvoLUTIoNISTS
NOW UNDER CONTROL

WASHINGTON, May 1O.-Fresh re-
ports of rebel activities in Cuba are
regarded by the American Government
as renewed evidence of influences seek
ing to force Intervention, but they
have not altered the State Depart
ment's confidence in the ability of
President Monocol to restore order.
Reports from American Minister
Gonzales that the rebels are being
brought under control are supported
by consular reports from Guantanamo
and Santiago. State Department offici'
ais appear confident that May 20, the
date for the Inauguration of the Pres
ident, will pass without serious re-
vlval of the revolt.
THE Chief of staff of the Cuban
army. now at the head of the Cuban
military and naval commission IN
Washington, states that the news given
to the press with regard to the situa
ton of the province or Oriente is OF d
Durely sensational nature. The $4,000
black insurgents said to be ravaglng
that territory are imaginative. The
Government forces have full control
of the privince.

ers when the revolution was at 1T:

ished"

NAVAL OPERATIONS TOT BE

WASHINGTON, May 10.-Naval CO.
operation between the United States
and the allies against Germany is be-
ing negotiated largely in London, it
was learned to-day, instead Of here at
Washington, as is the case with mill.
tary and other subjects. Rear Admi.
raj Sims, who was on his way to Eng.
land when war was declared, and who
has just attended the allied naval
conference at Paris, is charged to
speak for the American government on
the major questions of policy.
Apart from the original announce.
ment that the United States will patrol
American waters and thus relieve the
allied vessels on duty here for two
and half years, no statement of naval
policy is expected. Whether American
vessels will cross to the other side
and help in an offensive campaign
either in British waters or nearer the
German bases probably will become
known only through announcement of
some decisive action, if there is one.
Admiral de Chair, head of the naval
contingent with the British war mis-.
sion here, spent most of Monday at the
Navy DepdT IneHl, COlIiuulnS Soniei
ences with bureau chiefs. He devoted
himself to all sorts of technical dis
cussions about submarines, means of
hunting and trapping them, and les
sons learned by the British in their
long efforts TO suppress the submarine
menace. In a general way he is act
ing as an intermediary to the British
Admiralty and facilitating the tech.
nical negotiations between the British
and American experts.

Vests Appear in Suits.

Some of the new tussur summer
suits are trimmed with silk fringes
around the edges of the coat. Silk
fringes are also used to finish the mar
row silk or cloth girdles with which
most frocks are provided.
Vests seem to be an important part
of the newest suits. White silk or
serge suits are frequently made with
vests of bright colored satins, or the
embroidered Oriental silks. In the
wooden suits, collars and vests are
made of broadciCth, striped silk or of
Manufactured pongee. Sometimes
the vests are embroidered, and, again,
the edges are bound with braid, to
give a neat, tailored finish. Detach
able collars of blue and white striped
cottons on dark blue serge and twill
suits have also been noticed as we'll
as those of silk.

are of metal and celluloid, and come
in variety of colors. Very pretty
are those Of colored stones with oxi-
died silver or gilt chains. Others are
made of squares or circles of jade,
jet, amber or ebony, linked with metal
chains. Girdles of this kind are used
with coats as we'll as with dresses.

In opposition TO the frocks that are
bsolutely stright in line, there are
many WAYS OIL raplng skirts to give
that slight puffiness about the hips
which is now one Of the accepted
modes in the dressier type of frock
for afternoon and evening wear. One
of the latest ways is by gathering the
straight lower section of a skirt to d
yoke, and leaving the sides free to
form looped draperies which fall very
gracefully into position when the soft
pliable materials are used. An
illustration of this charming style
is shown in the sketch. The dress is
of pongee trimmed with narrow bands
of pOngee trimmed with narrow bands
of ribbon. The waist of this costume
is made with kimono sleeves of the
loose, baggy type, the kind that were
in fashion some time ago. The un-
usual V-shaped collar and fiaring cuffs
add the note of distinction which all
such simple styles require.
Sometimes long, straight tunics or
apron effects take the place of dra-
peries in frocks of silk, chiffon or
Georgette. A beautiful dress of white
satin for bride was made with long
pleated apron of fine white net edged
with white glass beads. The transpar
ent glass heads are now being used

Bright, colorful ginghams in very
line qualities have risen into promi-
nence and are used in fashioning not
only separate blouses and skirts. but
also entire summer dresses and suits.
In making suits, the latest fad has
been to combine bingham with pom.
gee and other sports silks. A skirt
or Bingham is used with a silk coat
which has the collar and cuffs, and
sometimes, pockets, of ginghams. \
surprising combination, but distinct

the ideal In other instances, plaid
and plain ginghams are used to make
the popular MILDLY dresses with Slip
over blOuses and pleated skirts With
the plaid used for the skirt and to
trim the blouse, Il dress of this kind
is exceedingly attractive for summer
wear. Ginghams are crisp and cool
and may always be kept looking fresh
The separate skirt of plaid or check
ed bingham, to wear with white wolfe
and batiste waists, is also a pleasing
novelty for summer The skirts are
sometimes made with belts of silks in
some bright color matching one of the
colors in the plaid or stripes as the
case may be. Smart gingham blouses
are trimmed with white pique collars
and cuffs, and buttonholes bound with
the pique.
The new blouses that look like coats
keep rising in popularity. They are
especially smart in costumes of jersey
cloth. A very attractive model in
plain and checked jersey is shown in

rage just now. These new girdles

RUSS PRINCESS
STORY DOUBTED
BY RED CROSS
Embassy Also Believes Ex-
Gar S Daughter Is Not
Coming to U. S.

The Russian Embassy here and the
Red Cross ARE investigating the story
issued from a Russian source in New
York Saturday to the eject that one
of the former Cars daughters is on
her way to the United States TO help
in Russian civilian relief"
The organization responsible for the
story was unknown at the Russian
Embassy and IL was doubted there
that the one-time Princess Tatisna
was really out of Siberia or out Of
Tobolsk. The Red Cross also had no
record Of the organization for Rus
sian civilian relief In whose aid Miss
Romanoff was reported on her way TO
America.
Hold Conference.
A conference was held yesterday be-
tween Boris Bahkmeteff. the Ambas-
sador, who represented the Rerensky
government, and who stilI remains
here in charge OF Russian interests
though he repudiates the Bolsheviki
government. and officials OF the Red
Cross. II was announced that an Of
ficial statement would be issued by
the Red Cross concerning the organ
lzation alleged TO be interested In
Russian civilian life. as soon as its
investigations in connection with the
Russian Embassy had been completed.
The Princess Tatiana is described as
young woman OF rare charm, and IL
is believed that she would be capable
of welding a powerful influence in
America. 1t is not believed that either
the Bolsheviki or the Kerensky fac
tions would entrust such a mission to
member of the eK-Czar's family.
Russians here decline to take the
story seriously as an evidence Of a
royalist effort. They are rather in
clined to believe that a theatrical hoax
is about to be perpetrated here.
