"HUS far the only evidence ot
 war that we have feeling our
 daily lives are to be found in the stimulation of interest along many lines. in the necessity of organ'- zations and in appeals from this oua,ter and from that for the help that so surely will be needed. Almost of necessity. there have grown out ot these conditions certain entertain ments designed first of all to raise money and secondly, to bring together the people in way that will make it easy to discuss ways and means. So far as the casual observer can dis- cover there is no need for concern on the subject cf undue economy in dress, At none of these functions is there any evidence of ,curtailnent. In fact, at notable evening gathering ot the week really superb costumes were noted. costumes that would indicate lavis. expenditure rather than con- scrvatism. It is to be hoped that we will not have need to cry ont against catravacance for what we really need is cornon sense. the common sense that. after all is so uncommon and which when applied to the affairs ot life is so art to smooth all the ways Cur President has sounded the note that we ali need to follow. We must keep the h,.siness cf th" country going and at the same tirrc we must con- scrve cur resources. Whenever there is reriod of excitement over any con- dition, there is danger of going to extreme. ! ct us hope that the very eravity of tho situation we have to meet today will call for condition of sanity and elisncnse entirely with that hvstcri, which always is to be re- rrctted
 Summer fashions ar" noteworthy. and ono wonders a little whether or not the fccIinr of impending serious ness which is in the air may have influenced the designers unknown to themselves Surely it is many years siscc. we have seen so big and % inter- rst;nc a showinc of simple costumes and simplc fabrics. Last season aud indeed. durinc the opening weeks Of this season. the sports costumes had leconc sa extreme. so garrish in effect as almost to l,e offensive. Today the cne consnic,ous note seems to be sim rlicitv. There are the most charming shirt waist gown. of lovely tub silks, tf fine linens. of cotton v,ilcs and of the eingham that has s,,el6lenlv spruny 7 into such favor and cf all the dis tinctly casonable fabrics that have been somewhat thrown into disusc by the exploitation of the sports element.

 There is always certain charm to be. found in the French blouses and French materials, but you will find that in the greater number of instances it is due to fine materials, to fine sewing and to dainty treatments.

DUQUETTE SAW MILL
BURNS

The saw and planning mill
owned by the Anderson-Erick-
son Co., at Duquette, was burned
to the ground Sunday evening.
The origin of the fire is un-
known, and the flames were not
noticed before they had gained
such headway that nothing could
be done to save the plant.
Aside from the mill the flames
also consumed a considerable
quantity of mill wood, lumber,
some implements and a lot of
tools and numbering equipment.
The Anderson-E Erickson Co.,
sustain a heavy loss as they car
ried no insurance on the mill, and
it is also a big loss to the COM
munity at large as it has been
the means of a good income to
the settlers in that vicinity for
a number of years.

TWIN CITY LOYALTY MEET
INGS GREAT SUCCESS

The big Loyalty Meetings held
at St. Paul and Minneapolis Fri
day and Saturday were attended
by many thousands of people
from over the state and North

both educational and enthu-
siastic.
Many prominent speakers

upon their remarks, but suffice
to say their teachings will be
carried out thru the Northwest
by the eager and observing dele
gates.
Among other things which
were to the point, Governor
Burnquist said that any man in
public office who is not loyal to
his country should be dismissed
from office.

SHIPPING RUTABAGAS

When the weather turned
warmer the rutabaga market de-
clined and found it impossible
to place the last two cars at q
reasonable price and decided at
last to have them stored in care
of the Marketing Commission Of
Minnesota Public Safety Com
mission. l was down there last
Thursday when they were un-
loading in fine shape. When the
weather turns. cold and price
warrants it they will be taken
out and sold, therefore it might
take quite a while before pay
ment will be distributed for
these rutabagas.
While in st. Paul made a
special arrangement with the
Marketing Committee and the
G. N. Ry. for cars to be loaded
with straw and am in hopes we
will get few cars soon and the
balance later and after Christ
mas. The final price will be near
$10.50 for what there is and will
be ordered in few more days.

BOOST YOUR TOWN

An exchange gives the follow
ing advice. When a stranger
comes to town, warm up to him.
Go to him and tell him who you
are, and that your town is the
dingdest best town on the map
bar none. If need be, let your
enthusiasm run riot, and paint
a picture of the JOY of life in
your burg. Be a booster. for
your town and your fell
low citizens! Let the strang-
er know that you live
among real folks. the human
kind, who treat people well. and
especially the stranger within
their gates. Open up and warm
up! Don't be a human ice box.
Make the stranger carry away
with him a kindly feeling toward
your town and its citizens. and
when he goes abroad he too will
chant it's praises. and soon you
will have dn army of boosters
passing the good word along.
1t pays to be friendly. Aloofness
gets you nothing but the silent
contempt of human beings who
are real.

expression of neutrality on the

DIR. Mowinckel, during de-
bate in the Norwegian Storting

Denmark, it may be mentioned
that a bottle of the national
brandy Aquavit, which former

after New Years it will be prac-

raw materials necessary for the
manufacturing of distilled Ii
