ALLIES GO AS FRIENDS
INTO RUSSIAN TERRITORY
Assurances Given by America and
Japan Mark Epoch in Policy
People Will "come Back"

Three points are outstanding in the
new allied policy toward Russia: First
the solemn declaration that the allies
are coming as friends and are ready to
do everything in their power to free
Russia from Germany's yoke, to re-
store to Russia her lost territories and
to preserve the Russian democracy by
giving her the possibility for free de-
velopment. Two other points refer to
practical stesp to be undertaken i'm.
mediately by the allies in Russia
The allies have decided to render
Russia general. economic, financial,
technical and military help in support
ing by all possible means the Czecho-
Slovak movement. The Czecho-Slovak
movement is a definite anti-German
movement. Since the bolsheviki and
the so-called soviet government, which
the bolshekivi dominate, tried, as tools
in the hands of Germany, to inter
fere with this movement and to dis
arm the Czecho-Slovaks, the Czecho-
Slovak movement became naturally
not only an anti-German but also an
anti-bolshevik and anti-soviet move
ment.
While the best elements of the Rus
sian democracy, not only the liberal,
but also the revolutionary and social
list factions, have fought bitterly the
bolshevist rule supported by German
bayonets, the bolsheviki, through their
own reports and through the reports
of those foreign correspondents who
for one reason or another, chose to
serve the bolshevist cause, repeated
continuously that the Russian masses
were with them.

MINING NOTES

Total value of mine production in
Montana of gold, silver, copper, lead
and zinc amounted, in 1917, to Sl10.-
149,3s2, against $133,Ss2. 947 in 1916.
according to the United States geolog-
ical survey.
Disbursements to stockholders in
July, 1918, by 30 United States mining
and metallurgical companies making
public reports totaled $5,765, 456, as
compared with $16,531 PAP distributed
by as companies in July, 1917, accord
ing to the Engineering and Mining
Journal. OF the latter. however, So
026, 450 represented special Red Cross
dividends, so that the regular pay
ments were $11, 1872.
Discussion of a government bonus
of SIP an ounce for the production of
gold, proposed in resolutions present
ed by the committee to the American
Gold conference at Reno, New, Au-
gust 10, brought out opposition to the
plan that may defeat it, The bonus
is aimed at new gold only, but it is
pointed out that nothing is to pre-
vent the addition of old gold, which
will be increasing the government bur
den.

Neckwear Hiuh and Low.

The unusual style range in woman's
dresses and suits for fall will insure
the success of many neckwear types,
says the Dry Goods Economist. Dur
ing the early part of the season low
collars and vestees adapted for wear
with street dresses of serge and satin
will be the dominant item in shapes
ranging from the narrow shawl collar
now so fashionable to the wider
square-fronted sailor and the rounded
Puritan effects. Filet lace trimmings
will continue to be much employed, but
newer note will be sounded in the
combinations of filet and Irish lace.

1t is probably true that the future
of livestock in this country is becom-
ing less and less dependent upon the
use of Uncle Sans forest reserves in
the mountain states. Price Current
Grain Reporter says: THE range
with its scanty heritage is gone and
there is no conceivable restorage of
its acres to the conditions that OBJ
tanned after the buffalo disappeared.
This country is not yet settled to the
density of the populations of Europe,
nevertheless, it is so rapidly approach
ing old world conditions of agricul-
ture than the future of meat at least
depends on intensive agriculture
rather than extensive grazing; and so
the lobby work always going on at
Washington to give cattle freer access
to the forest reserves is one in the in
terest of the land grabber rather than
the stock producer" Nevertheless it
is due in part at least to the range
that livestock business is shifting
westward and we of the west are lazy
enough to want the range as long as
it is available.

NEW SHlRT-WAIST FR0CKS
Great Variety of Materials Being
Used In Thousands of Gowns
Produced.

Crepe de chine, Georgette, all the
Chinese silks and pongees, foulard,
striped wash silks in light colors and
handkerchief linen are the fabrics
turned into thousands of gowns this
summer for women who no longer stay
at home during the day.
One of the great Western houses re-
ports that it has been necessary to
provide a great amount of frocks and
suits for war work for women during
this summer than ever before.
The reason is the somersault in the
summer regime. Women will not spend
their time for three months of hot
weather as they have done for a cen
fury. They have work to do in the
world, and they must have fitting and
comfortable clothes for that work.

Originality.

Now and then one meets somebody
who aims at originality in dress, and
she makes no efforts to conceal her
aim; she will tell you of a new kind
of blouse that she has originated, of
new wrap that she has created, or of
style of hairdressing quite all her
own. If she is a particularly clever
individual, doubtless she gets away

MILITARY DISPATCH
RIDERS AS DEVELOPED
BY WAR OVER THERE

The military dispatch riders or
ganization has been developed by
the American expeditionary forces
in France as an additional method
for transmitting communications.
The riders are intrusted with the
work of keeping the corps in touch
with the division, the division with
the brigade, and the brigade with
the regiment for detailed orders,
letters and important packages of
papers that cannot be transmitted
promptly and safely in other ways.
Mounted on motorcycles and bur
dened only with a pouch or KNAPP
sack in which the papers are car
ried the military riders, usually in
pairs, cover distances of 100 miles
in three hours over the smooth
French roads. Each rider is chosen
carefully for his experiences in driv-
ing a motorcycle, his ability to re-
pair his machine under all condi-
tons and his coolheadedness and
resourcefulness in emergencies.

Ribbon CLASH for Lingerie.

Here is something that will interest
all women.
The ribbon lingerie clasps are even
better than the gold or silver ones
which we have been using.
They are so simple-just little strips
of quarterback wide ribbon, with a
little snap fastener to clasp them over
ones underwear at the shoulders.
1t takes from two and one-half to
three inches to make each clasp.
Three inches would be better as that
allows the ends to be hemmed back
far enough to make a good founda-
ton for the clasp, and it makes the
finished clasp about one inch wide.
OF course. the ribbon should be firm
and heavy in order to Keep in shape.

line that this is probably the most
drastic action that the government
has taken since putting the National
Army draft into effect. The absolute
necessity for this program can be seen
when it is realized that in Pittsburgh,
for instance, there are advertisements
calling for men to go to Detroit; while
in Detroit street cars there are post
ers asking men to go to Pittsburgh.
This same condition is apparent all
over the United States and in the con-
sequent shifting of labor a great part
of our war effort is dissipated.

BLOUSES FOR ALL
No Radical Style Change From
Last Season.
Suit Shades Are Being Featured Elk
tensiveIy in the Showing of New
Fall Blouses-Open-Nec
is Favored.

Fall blouses are very simple in cut,
and there is no radical style change
from last season, with the exception
of the smattering of high-neck models
developed in tailored or military eff
fects. Sleeves are almost uniformly
full length and set in at the regular
arm size.
The tailored blouses referred to are
developed very often in satin, some
times in dark color, again in light,
washable shades. Shifting silks and
some linens are also similarly en-
ployed.
However, it seems almost safe to
predict that most women will still
cling to collarless or open-neck blouses.
They are unquestionably more com
Portable for indoor wear, and, mas
much as neckwear departments al
ways show excellent collections of
high stocks of lace, net, etc, If a
high neck is desired it may be arrived
at without the effort of actually at
taching a collar. In addition to this
argument in favor of the collarless
blouses, there is the further one that
coats and suits fit high about the
neck, so that the protection of the
high collar blouse is never required.
Suit shades are being featured ex-
tensively in the showing of new fall
blouses, and flesh or white georgette
or blouses, and flesh or white georg-
cite or satin is frequently combined
very attractively with georgette in
a suit shade, making a blouse that is
more dressy and at the same time
more generally becoming than one that
is in an all-dark tone.
A blouse of this type is shown in
the sketch herewith. The blouse
proper-that is, upper section an6
sleeves-is of fiesh-colored satin, while
georgette in a suit shade is used as
the combination fabric. If preferred
the two shades of georgette may be

GRAIN AND MILLING NEWS.

w. c. Halsey of Asotin, Wash, is
promoting a project to erect 100
barrel flour mill at Jerry, Wash.
The Oneida Farmers Union of Ma
lad City, Idaho, announces it will
build two flour mills at once-one at
that town, 200 barrels, costing $685.
600, and the other at Holbrook, Idaho,
costing $4,000.
The Montana Equity Elevator Co.
has purchased an s4,0O0-bushel eleva-
tor at Bozeman, 10i ,000-bushel eleva-
tor at Belgrade and an elevator at
Three Forks. The company is also
making overtures to owners of houses
at Harrison, Willow Creek and Ans
terdam, and it is reported that new
elevators will be built this season at
Salesville and Manhattan.
The greatest flour mill deal ever con
summated on the Pacific Coast took
place August 3, when NJ. H. Houser,
Portland grain dealer and second vice
president of the Food Administration
Grain Corporation, purchased the in
terests of the Wilcox estate in the
Portland FIGURING Mills Co., which
owns and operates II flour mills, at
Portland, Tacoma, Spokane and other
points, and also the warehouses and

Separate Skirts.

Separate skirts for autumn are as
interesting in design and fabric az the
splendid assortment presented for
summer wear. Soft silks, crepe me-
teors and satins will be used, and
navy, black, prune and taupe are lead
ing colors in these rich fabrics.
An effective trimming of separate
skirts of silk is chenille stitching, done
to define narrow hens on the bias

engagements.

Professor T. N. Carver of Harvard
is merely following in the footsteps
of many other advisers, public and
otherwise, when he says: Anyone
who, in these days of impending doom,
buys anything which he does not need
for his health, strength, or efficiency,
is hiring some one to do something
which is unnecessary. He is hiring
some one to stay out of the essential
industries. He is competing with the
government for materials and man
power which it needs to win the war
and preserve the liberties of man
kind"

used. An all-satin blouse, combining
two shades of satin, is not so effective
as when a filmier fabric is used.
Either bead, metal thread or silk en-
broidery may be used as the purely
decorative feature.
To make this blouse one and quar-
ter yards of fabric will be required
for sleeves and upper part and half
yard of contrasting material for col
lar and lower section. Fabric in each
case is estimated on the basis of a
36-inch width.

takes a professional to do that. At
any rate there is a surprising number
of people who are not content with
mere individuality in dress their chief
aim and ambition is originality. That
the product is original cannot be dis
puted; it is so very original at times
that it borders on the freak; and just
herein lies the danger of dress re-
belliOn. The pity of it all is that the
designer herself is the last to see the
ridiculous side of it. Most people who
strive for this sort of difference" be-
gin at the wrong end, therefore their
lack of success. The next step is to
study ones self from disinterested
viewpoint, neither deprecating nor ex-
aggerating. Then as has many times
been advised, dress to bring out the
good points. Copying is excellent prac-
tice for her who desires to express
herself. Let her select a becoming
point from a dress here and another
becoming point from a dress there I'M
til she achieves something that looks
like herself. Then with the facility
thus acquired, she may with more as
surance turn her attention to creating,
if create she must.

For the most part tailored suits
have been things taboo for the large
woman. They were all right for the
slim sister but she was barred by her
bulk. That has all been changed and
the large woman may now wear a
strictly tailored suit secure in the
knowledge that it will make her ap-
pear Simmer instead of stouter. 1t
is all matter of scientific tailoring.
If the suit be correctly cut accord
ing to the new scientific system of
sveltline designing, a strictly tailored
suit, that even the largest woman may
wear, will be produced. A whole ward
robe, including undergarments, has
been evolved by this method to fur
nish the woman of ample proportions
with the slender appearance and fash
ionable silhouette that she has envied
in the slim woman.
