BILE.
Will Demand Durable Fabrics.
It Is alreeIly perceptible, wherever
masses Of women have foregathered,
that costly simplicity is the substi-
tute for costly ornamentation. Soon
will come the other upheaval In dress
when women who buy inexpensive
clothes will demand that the fabric
endure.
It was all very we'll, during perl
cd Of enormous productivity on the
part of the mills, to throw away $1S
on every new frock that suited the
fancy and to discard II when the par
ticular fashion In which 1t was made
began to wane; but today We are
girded for war, and the output Of
these mills Is not intended to carry
favor with women.
And the woman herself realizes

amount, for clothes that are made up
of badly woven, badly dyed materi-
ais that last only a buttcrfly's hour.
This demand for good fabric Is not
new. II is the fundamental instinct
Of women In all times of national de-
privation and economy to grasp at
what Is durable.
Everyone has to face this clothes
situation during the war with spirit
of patriotism and eager endeavor to
do the greatest good to the greatest
number. This has confronted every
generation Of women whose husbands
have gone to war, but there is a
brand-new situation injected into this
war, and It Is the dominant one con-
corning apparel.
1t Is this: The earning power OF
the women CT the nations involved
In the war is without precedent In
the history Of the planet

Alma Record Will Issue Feature
Edition Latter Part; of Month,

The latter part of this month the
Alma Record will issue feature
edition on the City of Alma, which
promises to be an unusual strong one.
A special solicitor and writer has
been secured by The Record to aid
in making this edition the success that
it should be, and judging from all in
dications it will be the finest issue on
the city which has yet come from the
presses of any newspaper.
The Industrial issue as it will be
called, will consist of at least eight
extra pages, devoted exclusively To
Alma and her business interests, her
fine homes, schools, churches, etc.
The Alma Record expects to print a
large number of extra copies of this
issue, but because of the demand that
there is bound to be for extra copies,
orders for extras should be placed at
once.
