4 Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rose
WHEN the very tight skirt made its
w appearance last season it seemed
almost unbelievable that the women
would ever adopt the mode. Possibly
they never would have done so had it
not been for the propaganda which ac-
companied this fashion, which led them
to believe that they were being eco
nomical and saving for others. To bc
sure, they were economical as far as
their own pocketbooks were concerned
the high prices of materials, even now,
proves that. But the tight skirt is not
comfortable, and aside from how bent n
woman is upon being in fashion she
insists in this age on comfort.
The pipe stem skirt was short lived
Even the straight skirt most of the
women have had made wide enough
this season to allow them to walk with
case. Even when the tight skirt with
the slit at the back made its entry
the women found it unsatisfactory and
asked for more allowance in the mate
rial about the hips and knees. -.
After all, demand is always met and
the fashions are once more swinging
back to the full skirt-crceping in very
likely best describes it, for as yet the
skirts, no matter how wide they may
be around the hips and knees, arc mar
row about the ankles. At times the
| great fullness above tends to give the
lower part Of skirts Il narrower appear
ance than they have in reality.
Looking at the newest of the models
from the knees up, the resemblance t
the frocks of our great grandmother
is most remarkable. There is the sam
poured in effect of the bodice, the shor
sleeves and the rounded neckline, al
well as the fullncss about the hips.

Fargo Bank Closed.

The act of the North Dakota bank
ing board closing the Scandinavian
American bank of Fargo has caused
wide comment in the press throughout
the Northwest The institution did a
large amount of business with Non
Portisan League organizations, such as
the Consumers United Stores Co., the
Publishers National Service Bureau
and the League Exchange, fact which
has added interest to the matter, aside
from it's news value. The banking
board cites that the North Dakota law
provides that the loaning capacity of a
bank can not exceed Is per cent of its
capital stock and surplus, but that it
was found that the Fargo institution
instead of loaning $4,000, its limit
under the law to any individual or cor
poration, had exceeded this. The tota
excess loans footed up to 1874, 174.82,
of which amount $432, $50 was loaned
to Non-P Partisan League organizations.
To cover this the bank held as princi-
pal collateral $274, 1854 of post-dated
checks, which together with other col
lateral, amounted in all to over half a
million dollars. The Courier-News, a
non-partisan organ in Fargo, as well as
the Non-Partisan Leader, the Leagues
official organ in st. Paul, declare that
the closing of the Observation-Disclosures
can bank is political move, inaugur-
ated by the enemies of the league, and
say that the officers of the bank will
start proceedings against the state Of
fcials on the grounds of conspiracy to
wreck the bank for political purposes.

AT the beginning of 1854, accord
ing to the file of the Milwaukee Senti-
mel in the Wisconsin Historical Library
at Madison, eighty-six newspapers and
periodicals were being Published in
Wisconsin The Detroit Advertiser
had printed story to the, effect that
Michigan had six dailies, sixty-five
weeklies and twelve miscellaneous pub
locations, a total of eighty three, and
observed: 1--WE doubt whether any
state in the Union of the same age and
population can make a better show
than our own. Taking up the chal-
lenge the Sentinel shows that Wisconr
sin at the time had total of eighty
six current publications, although it
had only 305, 900 population to 395, 600
for Michigan. In the same issue of
January 9, 1854, the Sentinel published
the names of all the papers; ten dailies,
sixty-seven weeklies and nine miscel-
laneous publications comprised the list.
OF these eighty-six journals twelve
were foreign language papers, there
being ten German papers, one Dutch
and one Norwegian. Milwaukee at the
time had four English dailies and two
monthlies, and three German dailies
and three monthlies. German papers
were also being published at Sheboy-
gan, Manitowoc and Sank City. The
Dutch newspaper was the Niewsbode,
published at Sheboygan, and the Nor
wegian, the Emigranten, published at
Evansville, Rock county.

EVERY observant traveller and cor
respondent returning or writing from
Germany tell the same story of how the
Germans are going about paying the
penalty of the war which they lost
They are working. Working patiently,
putting in long hours, and obeying or
ders. They harbor no, illusions as TO
easier ways of paying the enormous
debt and again building up their indus
tries and their trade. They are organ
lied for efficiency and output, and dis
ciplined for steady pull. They are al
ready invading the markets of Eng
land, underselling English products IN
the home market. When normal sup
ply of raw material flows their way, az
it will, they will again be ready to
undersell it's competitors in the world
market. And the secret is simple and
easily understood, but not easily prac-
ticed, except by the Germans
long hours, discipline and the faculty
for saving. This is the story which our
representatives, who have had chance
to observe, tell. The story is undoubt-
edly true, and it carries its lessons to
the American people. But there is an
other side to it which should not be
overlooked. The German national ped
agogy would hardly work out if applied
to the American people and American
conditions. We live our lives and they
live theirs. American ingenuity and
the American tempo of work offer a
considerable offset against German
plugging and long hours. And Ameri-
can initiative and Individual enthusiasm
count long ways in meeting German
organization and discipline. The dog
ged endurance and patience which the
Germans have are in harmony with
their standard of living; the American
man can not meet this standard in the
German way, but he can do it in his
own way-by his higher efficiency and
by the freshness for his task which he
has because of his longer hours of rest
and recuperation. The scare looks
worse than it is.

Wants Free Music in Schools.

Betsy Lane Shepherd, the well known
soprano, whose concert in Edgerton
next Monday night, Oct. 13, 8:15, will
be one of the musical treats of the sea-
son, says we must give free instruction
in our public schools in singing and in
instrumental music, if America is ever
to produce geniuses such as Italy or
Germany has produced in the past.
Mrs. Shepherd wants to see more
than the chorus singing and orchestral
training given in many of our schools
today. She would like to have special
lied individual instruction given by
competent teachers. Each child who
shows any talent for music, either
vocal or instrumental, ought to have
all the opportunity in the world to de-
velop his talent. Great singers, splen-
did artists, are an asset to any nation.
Other countries have been quicker to
realize this than America, perhaps be-
cause they have such a long start
ahead of America.
Mrs. Shepherd is sure that, if oppor-
tunity were created, Americans would
prove to have as much natural genius
for music as any other people. She in
sists genius is largely matter of lard
work and perseverance, anyway. Other
countries, says Mrs. Shepherd, provide
! the best tutelage possible for children
who show talent. America is too apt
to neglect this. Many poor children
who might become great artists never
have the slightest encouragement from
anybody. So the so-called ssgenius"
they might have been gifted with is
lost to the world, and civilization is the
loser.
There is child in every community,
possibly right here in Edgerton, ac-
cording to Mrs. Shepherd, who has
every quality to make him great ar
fist, but lacks the opportunity for edu-
cation. There is only one way to give
that child, and every other who as
pires to sing, a chance, and that is by
passing laws providing a thorough
training in music for all school chill
dren. Mrs. Shepherd thinks we should
all work to that end, and is using all
her own influence to bring it about.
Mrs. Shepherds concert on Oct. 18th
will be an invitation affair, and it is
expected that all Edgerton will turn
out to greet the famous singer.
