PAYING THE BILL

1t is estimated that 100000 persons
in the u. S. have died during the re-
cent epidemic.
Life insurance companies have had
a blow such as might well stagger
the strongest industry and yet the
companies have'withstood the shock.
Here again we have a striking eX-
ample of the loss which would have
occurred under the socialistic plan of
state insurance at reduced rates. Its
fine until the ever recurring catas-
trophe happens, and then the tax
payers or the insured suffer, as in
the recent failure of Montana state
hail insurance. The farmers lost so
cents on the dollar.
The politicians can run the insur-
ance business while seeking votes, but
they are not responsible for losses
somebody else pays the bill.

Empire Dresses

What could be more beautiful, more
Fascinating, than the alluring EN-
press Jesephine's costume as a source
of inspiration for the new dresses :?
This woman, by the grace of her sim
plicity won the admiring glances and
the unlimited praise of the most es-
teemed men of the day. Surely her
gowns must have been perfect OF these
discerning gentlemen would not have
lavished upon her their attentions.
SO why not adopt this mode of the
Paris designers and give to our brides
that look of complete assurance that
characterizes this famous woman.
One gown that was inspired by this
period costume and shown by one of
the leading houses is developed in
white georgette with white satin as
trimming. The white satin forms the
upper part of the tiny puffed sleeve,
and the front panel that starts at the
rather low neckline continues down to
about the knee and is caught in at the
waist line with heavy cord. The
skirt is unusually long and wee bit

INTERESTING TO MAN ON FARM
KANSAS WANTS SOLDIERS BACK
ON THE FARM

Kansas farmers have petitioned the
war department to speed the return
of her soldiers to the farms.
At a conference of farm bureau Of
ficers and county commissioners re-
Gently at Manhattan the committee on
reconstruction offered the following
resolution: 1--WE respectfully request
the Secretary of War and the Provost
Marshal General to adopt some such
plan as will return the soldiers to the
homes they left at the earliest posi-
BILE date. In Kansas there has been
sown to wheat this fall record acre
age, amounting possibly to more tain
100000 acres, with a crop prospect,
which, if realized, will require an
army of workers to harvest next year.
The demands of the fran for labor in
the early spring for preparation and
planting the spring crops is also
great, and in no other way can the
situation SO we'll be met as thru the
rehabilitation of our soldiers and
sailors in the manner suggested"

Dark Blue Always

Colors may come and colors may go
but dark blue holds on forever. This
color will never be passe and therefore
is an investment that is wise and
worthwhile. The frock illustrated
her is combination of dark blue
serge and same color catin and pos
sesses one of those indefinite waist
lines that have pounced on us una
wares as one of the newest features.
The other frock is developed in one
material and the blouse section favors
the Russian influence. The buttons
down the side of the skirt from the
waistline to the hem tend toward the
long slim silhouette that has been
reigning in the world of fashion for
many months.

THE PLAIN TRUTH

Otto Kahn states some plain truths
when he says:
Next to beating the Hun nothing
is more important than to beat those
who would smuggle un-American or
ti-American materials into the
magnificent and time-tested structure
which is America.
Nothing is more vital to the flu
ture of our country than to maintain
inviolate the tried and tested prin-
ciples upon which our institutions are
based.
"The menace of bureaucratism and
semi-socialistic paternalism, with
their insidious effect upon the very
fibre and marrow of the race, con-
fronts us now, and it is none too early
for business men to take their stand
against their perpetuation in time of
peace.
"Paternalism and liberty can not
exsist side by side.
Shall the reconstruction period be
under the auspices of semi-socialistic
and bureaucratic paternalism, or shall
we preserve, for meeting the huge
task which confronts the world, the
safe and tested instrument of individ-
ual effort and enterprise? On the
answer depends largely whether the
victory will be genuinely fruitful for
the happiness and well-being of the
world, or whether the course will lead
thru turmoil and establishment to
ultimate reaction"

Afternoon Dresses.

And then for informal occasions
and afternoon affairs we have many
new models little more dressy and
of a happier air than those that were
designed during the war. Altho the
colors may be bright and still be in
good taste, the majority of women
cling to the duller, darker shades.
During the period of the war the
bright colors were not in evidence, and
even tho the ban is lifted they seem
to be still ignored by all smart women.
An attractive frock of black velvet
and blue duvetyn was seen in an
unique combination. The blouse of

and has run the taxpayers in the hole
in that time over three million dol

The commission handling the prop

posed of five of the sharpest New
England financiers who got into poll
tics.
With great hue and cry they at
tackled the high salaries paid the Off
Gals, and have managed to save
twenty-five thousand dollars in that
respect, but have run behind in their
general expenses over three million
dollars and carried 100000 less

from five to seven cents and if the

LAW TINKERING NOT IN DE-
MAND

The trade of the constitution tinker
has been generally discouraged by
the elections held in western states
this fall
1t would be a good plan for mem
bers of the legislature to study the
election and see how many amend
ments failed.
In three states proposed constitu-
tional conventions were voted down
and in most states every amendment
was defeated.
In few states was anything adopted
that was not in the direction of reduc-
ing taxation and protecting industries.
Would-be law makers can save
themselves trouble and the state eX-
pense by not introducing too much
constitution tinkering for awhile.

There will be competition this win

Courturieres are designing many
new models for the tremendous de-

For the most part these gowns will
be quite simple, for simplicity has

designs, and the comfort and charm
of its appearance is perhaps respon-
sible for its popularity.

No More For Us

Henceforth from this date the
ban is going to be put on free
matter by this paper. Every
thing going into a paper has to
be paid for by somebody. If the
one asking for the publication
does not do it, then the publish
er must. The. Government has
been the greatest offender in
this line, but there are t ers.
Our space is the only thing We
have to sell, and if this is all
taken up with free matter thea
we lose out. This applies to
churches, lodges, Sunday Schools
and other schools. We are glad
to make announcements for the
Sunday Schools and the churches,
but other than that must be paid
for. We are glad to boost the
town and the county, but we are
tired of boosting all the time
when those benefited by our
efforts send to some other town
or city to get their printing.
Hereafter no business enterprise,
whether it be new or old, will
receive any writeup in this
paper when they send }mewhere
else to get their printing. As
to the Government, we think the
newspapers have about done
their part of giving. We don't
know of any one else dong it or
being asked to do so. The ban
is on free matter from now ON.
