WOMEN DEMANDING
BETTER MATERIALS

sold In London for two years to wom-
en- who have always worn calico wrap
pers and knitted shawls.
Preaching New Gospel.
And it is these women, so the stu,
dents of the new statistics affirm,
who are demanding good materials
for their clothes. 1t is said by those
who know, that women who paid SIS
for suits now pay $50, and those who
paid 81 for a hat now pay $40; and
this change in money spending does
not rest entirely on the fact that a
dollar of 1914 is equal to 81 cents of
1918.
Here are the things that the gov
eminent wishes to say-those of US
who appeal to you through the written
word as we would like to appeal to you
face to face.
In spending your money on Clothes
cooperate with the designers by in
dorSing the slim silhouette, the short
jacket and the elimination of as much
wool as possible from a costume. For
the rest, you can spend whatever
money you feel you can afford. Re-
member that it is not extravaganza,
but form of charity, to keep this
money moving so that it reaches to
the uttermost corners of society where
women and children are gathered to
make living wage.
There Is no diminution in the bril-
liancy Of fashions. Both France and
America are working hard to assist the
government to stimulate women's de-
sire for clothes. The new things which

New York.-An American buyer liv-
ing in New York who represents link
of retail shops that stretch across the
continent and who is said to have
control over $12S,000,000 a year for
the purchase of women's clothes,
should be good authority on the buy
ing power of the country. He Is. He
has gone over the entire situation as
1T confronts us, with the new year
and a great war. Here is what ne
says:
"The facts and figures which have
show that women in the country have
more money today than ever in our
history. Hundreds Of thousands Of
these women will be in financial
position to buy the kind Of clothes
they have always wanted, which is
of the better grades, and garments
better than they have ever worm"
Now, mind you. This is the state
ment of a man who represents that
vast merchandise that we find out
side of the exclusive dressmakers and
high-priced shops. He knows what
the women throughout the country
desire to buy, and when he makes
the statement that the demand for
cheap fabrics and shoddy materials
is beginning to wane, he represents
most interesting phase of CONNER
cfal activity.
The great nations who make wom-
ems clothes through the process of
immense organizations have flooded
the world with cheap and perishable
apparel. They have catered to a de-

have been put out in the shops, some
of which came from Paris and others
that have been designed in this coun-
try, show straight line that is char
itably kept from attenuation by a
cascade at the side of the skirt. a
swirling design in braid, a great sash
weighted with ornament. This is pure
camoufage.
There is really little perceptible diff
ference between the silhouette of the
gowns launched for the late winter
and those that have prevailed since
September.
There is no appeal to be careful with
drapery, as it can be made of tulle,
chiffon, georgette crepe and net of all
weaves, there is disposition for eve
ming wraps and gowns to resolve them
selves into floating clouds, in order to
hide the fact that the foundation of
the frock or the wrap is made of q
scanty amount of material and clings
closely to the figure.
Cut-Out Embroidery Used.
There is a tendency to go back to
the old handiwork known as cut-out
embroidery. Cloth, velvet and taffeta
are now cut out by a stamping process
in ornate designs, and the edges of
these are carelessly overwhipped with
a silk thread.
While there is some embroidery and
worsted threads, the idea is taboo when
carried out in lavish way.
The dressmakers seem to prefer the
lavish use Of braid to any other kind
of applied ornamentation. The wide,
closely woven variety known as Her.
cules, and the tiny thread known as
soutache, are both splashed over
clothes with a generous hand. The
extra wide, white Hercules braid is
used for a rolling collar, cuffs and
broad belt on gowns of black and gray
satin, as well as on frocks or serge
and deeply colored wooden fabrics.

PiIurim Got BY.

A seven-year-old was asked by his
teacher at the primary school to pro-
duce composition upon the subject of
his favorite literary work. The young
ster went into executive session with
himself and turned out the following
succinct criticism Of well-known and
popular classic:
"The Book l like best Is called Pill
grim's Progress. My mother reads this
Book to me every Night before | go to

sire on the part of hundreds of thou
sands of women to buy what is smart
and new, rather than what Is dura-
BILE.
Will Demand Durable Fabrics.
1t is already 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.
1t was all very well, during a peri
cd Of enormous productivity on the
part of the mills, to throw away $18
on every new frock that suited the
fancy and to discard it when the par
ticular fashion in which 1t was made
began to wane; but today we are
these mills is not intended to carry
favor with women.
And the woman herself realizes
that at any moment there may be q
shortage Of fabric for her apparel,
and she does not want to spend
money, even If it Is not large
amount, for clothes that are made up
of badly woven, badly dyed materi-
ais that last only a butterflys hour.
This demand for good fabric is not
new. 1t is the fundamental instinct
of women in all times of nationa, de-
privation and economy to grasp at
what is durable.
Everyone has to face this clothes
situation during the war with a 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
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 Of the nations involved
in the war Is without precedent in
the history of the planet.
If women who have never had
money to spend will be able to make
a salary such as a man has to sup
port family, are they going to save
it? They are not. They are going
to spend it, and they are going to
spend 1t on the things they have al
ways desired. That is why sealskin
sacks and ostrich feathers have been

As to the Farmers.

The number of farmers who will pay
income taxes has not been estimated
by the government officials, but 1t Is
certain they will form large percen-
tage of the 100000 persons assessed
who never before have paid an income
tax. The average farmer does not
keep books but If he avails himself of
the services Of government experts
who will be sent to aid him, 1t will not
be difficult for him to ascertain the
amount of his net income.
The farmer Is making out his return
may deduct depreciation in the value
of property and machinery used In the
conduct Of his farm, and loss by fire,
storm or other casualty, or by theft If
not covered by insurance. Expenses
actually incurred in farm operation
may be deducted, but not family or liv-
ing expense. Produce raised on the
farm and traded for groceries, wearing
apparel, etc, Is counted as living ex-
penditures and cannot be deducted.

In Mr.. Probstfield's own words,
this is a splendid opportunity for
all men who have an ordinary edu-
cation to be rapidly advanced in rank
and pay. The government pays all
expenses from the city of enlistment
to the place of assignment. Enlist,

LOSSES SMALL
FIRE MARSHAL'S REPORT FOR
MAY SHOWS LOW RECORD.

Pierre, May 16.-The state fiji
marshal bulletin for May shows that
the fire loss in the state for the
month of March was kept down 10 the
comparatively low figure of s17,6O3.
The fire losses of the state are less
than in former years and this is no
doubt in large part on account of the
policy of the state fire marshal de-
partment which puts in more time in
patrol work, and insisting upon the
cleaning up of fire hazards about
buildings than it does in looking aft
err the cause of fires after they have
occurred. The department inspects
all fires after occurrence, and prose
cutes wherever there is evidence OF
arson. and has secured a number OF
convictions, which is also another de-
terrent as to fire losses in the state.

FOR THE RED CROSS
DRUGGISTS AMBULANCE TO GO
INTO SERVICE.

Aberdeen, May 16.-The Red Cross
ambulance, outfitted in The most ap-
proved style and presented to the
state OF South Dakota by the State
Pharmaceutical association at its
last annual convention in WATERFOWL
last fall, will see actual service in
the near future, according to word
Just received from Adjt. Gen. w A.
Morris.
The ambulance was presented TO
the state by the druggists with a re-
quest that Gov. Norbeck give it to
whatever South Dakota organization
seemed most worthy of it. South
Dakota military organizations, how
ever, as was the case with many 9TH
er states, were scattered and largely
lost their identity with the mobiliza-
ton of the national army in the can
torment and this wish could there
fore not be carried out. In the mean
while the ambulance has been stored
in the Martell garage here.
According to word from the ad-
jutant general, the. ambulance has
now been accepted by the surgeon
general of the United States army
and will be shipped at once.

While we go marching through Ger

Tell the world that we have got al

Men who want to meet the Boches
and show them how to fight;
We can do it, cause WI know were
fighting for the right,
While we go marching through Ger

We don't have to stoop to kill thu
women or the kids,
Like the cultured" kaiser and hi

All we ask is, show us where the dew

And we'll go marching through Ger

Haul the fiendish kaiser out, W.
want to make him dance;
Get a hickory paddle and Wen pount
him OIL his pants;
Fall in line and take your turn, fol
all will get a chance,
While we 60 marching through Ger
