Any sort Of embellished shoulder
scarf is an acceptable accessory to
our dress these days. Glass fringe
is one of the newer touches to add
charm to scarfs of colored tulle and
net.
Gray and black are a smart COM
bination in cloth and satin, or in
silk and serge. Some touch of color,
of course, is needed to emphasize
this combination and give II bit of
dash. Oriental embroidery, in silk
or beads, is a touch used sometimes
by the discriminating dressmaker.
Fine pin tucks are a noticeable
feature of some of the cloth coats
that are a part of two-piece suits of
fine fabric.
Where are our new blouses going
to open? Nobody knows, of course,
but just now there is a tendency
toward acceptance of the blouse that
opens at the side.
A very effective hat worn recently
by a well-dressed young woman was
made by navy blue Georgette crepe.
Over it was stretched a network of
deep purple fringe. The junctures
of the different strands of fringe
were emphasized with a small, dull
brown wooden bead.
Lace is still much used in fine
lingerie, and the finest of real filet
is used with charming effect. 1t
wears well too, and in these days
when we try to buy with wisdom.
we think a bit about the durability
of our lingerie.
Some of the new all-enveloping
capes. of silk jersey are lined with
silk in vivid contrasting color. Cerise
Is used, for instance, in a cape of
biscuit color, orange yellow in one of
gray, and a green lining in cape of
dark blue.
And although some of the new
boluses show collars, still most of
them are of the collarless variety
with a rolling effect at the back.
American women have found his
line infinitely becoming and they are
insisting on it's continuance with
perseverance that is really commend
able.
Short negligees, of course, are fea-
tured, but some of the very attractive
new rest robes of Georgette and chit
fon and tulle show long trains, some
times fan shape, sometimes simply
long ends of the fabric training at
the back
Dark sleeves are shown in some of
the attractive new blouses of tan
Georgette drape. For the woman al
ways watching for some practical
touch in new clothes, these blouses
appeal nightly. For the dark
sleeves, be it remembered, do not
show soil so quickly as light ones.
1t is a rather gloomy thought to re-
member that they probably really do
become soiled almost as quickly as
do white ones. But if you must
wear a blouse for a considerable
stretch of time-on long railroad
journey, for instance, or all day long
doing Red Cross work that may be
a bit dusty-you feel far fresher at
the end of the time in dark-sleeved
blouse than in a light one

PATRIOTIC MEETING OF AMERI
CANS OF GERMAN DESCENT.


Mr.. John Knauf, of this city, has
received many letters and requests for
the calling of meeting Of United
States citizens of German blood and
ancestry, and acting on such letters
and requests has called for such a
meeting to be held in Jamestown on
March 16, 1918, at o'clock in the af-
ternoon at which time leaders in North
Dakota, of German blood and ances-
try, have signified their purpose of be-
ing present, and to consider of and
adopt means, methods and plans un-
der which every patriotic stigma
against German blood in North Da-
kota will be clearly proven untrue.
Prof. Koenig, of Minnesota, and other
American Germans of national repute
will speak at the meeting. A patri-
otto American organization will be
perfected and all citizens will learn
that there is no disloyal German blood
in North Dakota. German thrift,
prudence and honesty in the United
States will win the war.

SHERIFFS AND THE DRAFT

One Of the greatest tasks ever at
tempted in its history by the United
States Government has been the rails
ing and mobilization of the new Ma
tional Army through operation of the
Selective Service Draft law. To car
ry out this tremendous undertaking
meant the building up of wonder
fully great piece of governmental
machinery. Loyalty to democratic
ideals, love of country, a keen sense
Of duty, in short, patriotism furnished
the motive power and oiled the won
derful machine as we'll. On the
whole, for such a rapidly assembled
and enormously big piece of machin-
cry, it has worked smoothly and with
comparatively little friction, that is,
within the machinery itself.
But there has been friction enough
created, God knows, from without,
from the raw material" 80 to speak,
designed for the hopper Of the ma
chine. The "sheaves" Of registrants

A FAMOUS VICTORY.

The British have won great battle
behind the lines. 1t is German
defeat from which Germany will never
recover. Throughout the world,
wherever people wore clothes, people
were, hitherto, at the mercy of Ger.
many's-secret recipe for making ana
line dyes. That secret was worth to Ger
many s4,7OO,OOO,0O0 worth of export
trade per year. England alone had a
textile industry of $1,000,000, 900 per
year at the mercy of that secret, and
she got busy.
Two years ago, when London tex
tile manufacturers were paying two
or four thousand pounds sterling the
ton for dyes that formerly cost SO tc

Switzerland had the recipes of the
great Badische dye works, they or.
ganized to get the chemist. They
sent special agents into Switzerland
whom the Germans robbed, assaulted
and drugged, but they finally fount
that chemist with 257 recipes of the
Badische dye works, as he claimed
Then F. NJ. Rowe, of the Manchester
school of technology, was sent to the
chemist to test the recipes. Now, the
most difficult dye to produce is known
as Brunt-green, an apple-green color
and Mr.. Rowe selected that for tbs
first test. AS soon as he saw the rec

Scores, probably hundreds Of sher-
ifs who under ordinary circumstances
would have been reelected this year
with little or no opposition, now stare
defeat in the face. Some have al
ready deemed it a case Of discretion
the better part of valor" and virtually
have been compelled to decision not
to seek reelection. Others are de-
termined to run again to seek vindi-
cation, although admitting the cham
ces are against them. Still others,
more fortunately situated by compar-
ison, know they will have opposition,
though not very strong, and must
make campaign, where as they
would not have had opposition but for
their membership on the draft board.
And all for no other reason on earth
than that they did their duty to their
country without fear or favor!
Such is the situation. It is a sad
commentary on the patriotism and
loyalty of many fathers and mothers,
and wives and sweethearts, but it is
Condition and not theory that
confronts u.s." We have by no means
overstated the facts.
WHAT CAN BE DONE?
Here's one thing that might be
done: the various state councils of de-
tense or public safety commissions
might be induced to order no elections
for sheriffs or auditor held this year
in counties where these officials are
draft board members, but permit them
to hold over another term. We be-
lieve the state defense councils in
most cases are clothed with the power
and authority necessary to issue such
an order as military emergency
measure for the power prosecution Of
the war and the defense of the realm

1t is not our purpose or desire (nor
that Of the sheriffs) to quarrel with
the war department about the mat
ter Of compensation. Many sher-
ifs will decline to accept any pay,
but will continue giving their service
gratuitously, as heretofore. But COM
paratively few of the 2,700 sheriffs,
unfortunately, are so situated finan-
cially thanks to the generous ca
salaries or fees paid) as to be able
to donate their services longer without
such sacrifices as no citizen need yet
be justly called upon to make.
But the financial sacrifice entailed
is not the really important thing.
There is vastly more important and
far-reaching consideration involved,
one that threatens the serious demor-
alization of the Governments now
smoothly army draft machinery.
In large majoriy of the 48 states
of the Union there will be county
elections held this year. Should a
large proportion of the present sher-
ifs and auditors not be returned to
office (and if the war continues
through and over this year, as gen.
orally believed), the effect on the
working of the local draft boards can
better be imagined than described.
Few citizens outside of these boards
and other draft officials have any con-
ception of the difficulties and intri-
cacies of the draft law, it's various
interpretations and manifold regula-
tions, not to speak of the vast &C.
cumulation of data and personal in
formation. 1t has taken nearly a
year to get the machinery going sat
isfactorily. The Government cannot
afford to permit it to become demon
alized-to have a, monkey wrench
hurled into it's most delicate part
at such junction as the country now
seems to be facing.
An emergency the import of which
cannot be exaggerated faces the Gov
eminent. There is urgent need for
action, to proven the threatening ca
tastrophe. SOMETHING MUST BE
DONE.
Why? it may be asked. The rea:
