YOU SIMPLY MUST
DRESS TO EXPRESS
.YGURPERS0NALITY

DO you use the words dress, and
Z gown
Yes? Oh. my,
DO your clothes express your per-
sonality or your artistic taste?
No? Worse yeti
Do you wear an undermine, and a
slip?
No: Then you're quite impossible
/ from the point of view OF Mrs Bertha
1 HoIley, OF New York, an artist in at
tire, who told the members of the
Arts, Club all about Art In Dress
last night.
Just to show what SHE was talking
about, Mrs. Holley wore an under
tunic-something made of two pieces
Of material cut along geometrical
lines-and a slip, which is another
something also cut on uniform lines.
Mrs. Holley explained that her idea
of dress would give the wearer not
only freedom of action, but would eX-
press her personality and had the
great additional advantage OF being
responsive to expansion. She said the
undermine could be worn for almost
every occasion, that only the slip had
to be changed to suit the particular
event; dark colors for mourning, and
the lighter ones for affairs of a diff
ferent nature.
Mrs. Holley disclaimed being
dress refOrmer," and denied that she
had followed the classical lines Of
dress worn by Roman and Greek
ladies, her ideas closely resembling
them. A number of her models were
on exhibition.
Mrs. Gertrude BOnnin, an Indian,
and wife Of Captain Bonnin. U. S. A,
spoke on Indian dress, saying that the
Indian in designing his wearing ap-
parel, blankets, moccasins, gloves. and
other articles wove and painted into
them in poetical forms the symbolism
OF the creation. Mrs. Bohnin was at
tired in her native Indian costume.

About 1900 car loads of wheat
are arriving daily at the Chicago
and Minneapolis markets. The
American people will continue to
reduce wheat consumption to a
minimum, not because there is
any shortage but to accumulate
a surplus for next year. There is
no telling when the war will end
and no wheat crop can be safely
computed in advance. The allied
world intends to be forehanded in
its wheat supply taking no
chances on the crop Of 1919 un-
til we have that crop safely in the
bins. And every American citi-
zen worthy Of the name is hearth
ly in accord with this plan.

Atwood and Knapp With
draw Eron Socialist d.

draw From Socialist Party
All good and loyal Socialists to
America are withdrawing from
the Socialist party.
To us, since the war, Socialism
has come to mean the same as
Bolshevikism, Kaiserism, Town
leyism, Prussianism, Hun, Trai-
tor, l. w. w., and Disloyalist.
While we do not agree with
Mr.. Atwood and Mr.. Knapp upon
the public ownership idea, we
have not questioned their loyalty
and now that they, the Socialist
leaders in this community, have
withdrawn from the party,
shows their courage and convic-
tions and proves our contention
more and more that Socialism in
this country is a dangerous pro-
poganda.
When the Townley organizers
will put this country ahead OF
sixteen to nothing, they may
withdraw, and when the candi.
dates, on the Townley ticket, that
are loyal get wise they will also
withdraw.

EXTRA SUGAR IF THE
FARMERS BOARD CREW

Numerous inquiries have been
received at the federal food adj
ministration Office here concern
ing the supply of sugar for extra
help in threshing time, and how
to procure it. Many farmers who
are boarding the threshing crew
or have extra help do not UNDER
stand the emergency that has
been provided by the food admin
istration and are handicapped
by the shortage of sugar.
In the cook car sugar is OBJ
tained by card as in private fami-
lies. Flour is obtained the same
as for family use except that sub
stitutes may be sold to cook cars
in the proportion of four to one
that is, four pounds of white
flour to one of substitutes, and
each thresherman is allowed
twelve pounds per person per
month, which is just twice as
much as is allowed for domestic
use.
In the case of the farmer who
boards the crew, an extra supply
of sugar may be gained for the
occasion from the grocer by writ.
ing in the margin of the card in
ink the number of extra men fol
the number of days that the;
are expected to remain. Ten eN
ira men for three days equal ont

days and entities the family t,

THE HARVEST

of small grain is completed. The
state has a fine crop saved and
threshing has begun. Generally
speaking there was NO shortage
of harvest hands but in many
counties much assistance was
given the farmers by a ready re-
sponse on the part of the men
and boys of our cities who turned
out and helped shock grain.
There have been a few COM
plants that the fixing of the IS
cents an hour wage scale for
harvest and threshing help drove
away some help that was needed
On the other hand the fact is gen
orally admitted that without
such an established rate of wag-
es there would have been such
an indiscriminate bidding as to
result in tens of thousands of
more money being paid by the
farmers. A few agitators did
scare some men headed this way
from other states, by telling
them they would be jailed if they
did not work in South Dakota at
a wage offered. The laborer is
worthy of his hire and at prevail
ing prices of his products the
farmer can afford to pay we'll for
his help. He should not however,
be compelled to pay any six to
eight dollars for ten dours work
to any who thought they could
enforce any such demands.
You will also notice, there are
very few-if any-loafers or
the streets waiting for highe,
wages. The labor situation has
been handled fine by the Coun.
Gil of Defense despite the fact
there were a few prejudice to the
movement.

State Council Standing Pat

OVdIe SOuNClI OtdNUlNS L dV
After a long discussion of the
subject in their meeting at Pierre
the South Dakota council of de-
tense decided to make no further
change in the operation of Order
number Is, which bans Germans
in public places. The council will
permit the German ministers
with congregations who do not
understand English, to give a 15-
minute resume of their sermon
in German after the service has
been carried out in the English
language, after the minister has
signed pledge to use his influ-
ence to support all the activities
of this nation to win the war and
has secured the approval of the
executive committee of the coun-
ty council of defense to conduct
such service. The pledge requir-
ed is as follows:
81, the undersigned, hereby
pledge myself upon my honor to
faithfully continue to observe in
every particular Council orders
numbers 4 and 13, both having to
do with the use of the German
language, and to actively use my
influence as citizen in support
ing all activities which are en-
dorsed by the state and nation to
win the war;"
Protests against this permis-
sion system were sent the council
from all over the state, being
based on the ground that Ger
man was totally unnecessary on
any occasion and that only the
English language should be tol.
Grated.

TO OUR READERS

The War Industries Board has
given country publishers until
September Is, 1913, to meet the
conditions which the Board re-
quires in order that the saving
of Is per cent in the consump-
tion of paper, which is demand
ed, may be met. When the pub
fishers and the representatives
of the War Industries Board met
at Chicago the following methods
were advised for the newspapers
to follow:
An increase in the subscrip
tion price of the paper, especial
ly where the price is less than 50
a year.
2-The discontinuance of all
subscriptions that are not paid
in advance and renewed at the
time the subscription expires.
3-The elimination of all free
copies except to advertisers.
1.-The elimination of all ex-
changes except where the papers
received in exchange are abso-
lutely essential to the conduct of
the paper.
5-The discontinuance of the
practice of conducting subscrip-
tion contests, or clubbing ar
rangements, when the weekly
paper does not receive approxi-
mately full subscription price.
Our readers will see by this
that we have no option in the
matter. However we still desire
to accommodate subscribers who
we know will pay. We believe you
will play the game fair and will
not take advantage of our dilema
