Letting Fashion Rule.

It is one of the funny incidents Of
fashion that there should have been
in this extraordinary mild winter more
fur coats on the street than ever were
seen before. Outside Of Russia or
Greenland. women We're never so uni
formly attired in furs as during last
winter-and Yet. unless one We're driv-
ing, there has not been single day
when n fur coat was needed. and dur
ing more than half of the time these
garments must have made their wear
ers very uncomfortable. Well. there
is no accounting for the fashions. The
rationale of Il fur coat, of course. is
to wear it when 1t is cold enough to
do so, and lay it of for some less bur
densOme garment in ordinary weather.
But when the girls put on their fur
coats in the early winter they put them
on to Wear every single day. he it cold

Hair at $50 an Ounce.

Peasant girls Of France are more
than ever abandoning the close fitting
native headgear. to wear which they
had to have their tresses cut. In
rural France there is widespread
movement for the adoption of the
'towny" style. which, if less pictur-
esque, makes for the preservation of
woman's chief glory.
This fact, coupled with the total dis
appearance from the market of
Chinese hair, from which the cheaper
grades of switches and tails" used
to he made, renders false hair ex-
tremely expensive in France. ''There
are no more sO-called hair fairs held
in France nowadays" says a promi.
nent hair specialist, 'and natural
blond plaits are worth at least $40 an
ounce.

AN ELECTRIC ROAD

An electric railway between
Broadus and Miles City would be
a step in the right direction, and
the experiences of this winter
will bring home to the ranchers
of this part of the country the
necessity of such a railroad. The
thousand and one benefits to be
derived from the organization of
such a railroad are realized every
day and the sooner some enter
prising promoter gets busy the
better it will be for this part of
the county. The cheap freight
and passenger rates of electric
railroads and their low cost of
maintenance make the sale of
stock in same attractive and there
should be no trouble in raising
the financial backing needed to
put it over. We have the natural
facilities right here at home for
operating and building such a
road, except steel, which can cas-
lily be procured.
Enough live stock have been
sacrificed this wear to paw the en-
tire cost of constructing the road
to Miles City and had the road
been built year ago this loss
would have been eliminated as an
abundance Of feed could have
been moved in. And in reality
the road would not cost the people
a dollar as their land valuations
would double the minute the rails
were laid. 1t will have to be
done eventually--why wait and
take chances on another loss next
year--the tragedy of 1919 should
be a lesson. Think it over.

WHEN JIMMY TAKES HIS

When Jimmy takes his sweater
off
How he does dance and sing!
He pulls and tugs with all his

And hollers at the thing;
He bumps his head against the
wall.
And splutters. shrieks an coughs,
At last he gets his arms clear
out,
The sweater almost off.
Almost, not quite,---he snaps and
bites
And pulls his hair a bit:
He struggles with the pesky
thing
And has another fit;
He snorts, CavOrts. and leaps in
space
And calls it names, peck,
Then yanks again till all is off
Except the stubborn neck.
With arms a Tapping in mid-air,
And muffled shrieks and eroans,
While we all gather round him
Loudly laughing at his means;
Refusing all assistance
And lamentine like dirge,
He paws the air until at last
We see his head emerge.
His face is red as any beet,
His eyes are flashing fire,
His hair stands upright on his
head
Bespeakine fearful ire;
Hesshouts at us in no slow terms
Commanding us beeone:
We so but to return again
When he puts his sweater on.
