NEW BATHING THINGS.

Really those futurist bathing suits
that one sees on fashion magazine
| covers are for the most part worn-on
fashion magazine covers and possibly
| on the lay figures that inhabit the
| store show windows. The number of
real people who wear them must be
quite inconsiderable, at least in this
country. 1t would be all very well In
continental watering places where
one has the privacy of a bathing
wagon and does not show ones self
until one has been wheeled past the
gazing eyes of the beach loiterers.
But for the most part average
women wear just average bathing
things. smart if you will. but not
startling.
For the woman who has few mid
summer weeks at the seaside there is
satisfaction in buying a bathing suit
with suitable accessories already
made, satisfaction in feeling that 1t Is
the conservative conventional thing to
wear Now, as ever, black is a favorite
hue for bathing costumes and the
materials are Venetian cloth. taffeta
silk. surf satin, mohair. poplin or wool
jersey. Dark green or purple. as well
as navy blue, are good seconds for
black and sometimes these dark colors
show stitching in bright colors. Hen
ma is color that has found it's way
into bathing toggery. but truth to say
it is not the most becoming shade
when worn against skin that has be-
come tanned by summer suns and UNI
PS4f4 fiof Of nm N
the thought that henna is more fash
ionable than the other colors then 1t
should hardly be a choice worth while.
Black and white, with black predom-
mating, are seen in many of the
smartest of bathing suits.
With the fairly dark bathing suit
one wears a fairly vivid bathing cap.
Red is especially attractive when
worn with black suit. Bright green
or bright blue are also attractive, and
rich, deep violet has an extremely
good appearance in the rubber caps
and hats that can be bought at al
most any bathing accessory counter.
Women seldom are so foolish as to
wear bathing hat nowadays that
does not actually cover their hair, for
they know how ruinous 1t is to their
locks to permit them to be moistened
repeatedly by salt water fresh
water either, for that matter. So. the
best of the bathing hats have a
divers cap foundation. A hat of this
sort consists of a mushroom shape in
red with a wreath of peoples around
the crown. 1t is attractive and, Of
course, the brim helps shade the eyes
and keep the face skin from excessive
sunburn. It would hardly be your
choice for swimming. but excellent
for bathing. For the girl who swims
there is nothing better than the plain
bathing cap that is tied about with a
silk handkerchief in some gay design.

A specialist has at last perfected a
pure face powder that positively will
not cause enlarged pores, blackheads
and irritations. In fact, while it is
considered the best face powder, it is
also a remedy for complexion trou-
bles. 1t is guaranteed pure and harm
less to the most delicate baby skin.
It beauties wonderfully because it
helps to clear and tighten the skin and
protect the complexion from blem-
ishes. This new kind of face powder
is made largely Of an ingredient that
skin specialists use in the treatment
Of the complexion. And it really stays
on better than any other face powder.

TRUCKS HERE TO
AID IN ROAD BUILDING

New and valuable three and five-ton
army trucks are coming into the state
highway commission every day from
various army camps throughout the
country. They are sent by the war de-
partment to be used in building and
maintaining state roads which received
federal aid.
The trucks are being distributed to
the counties as 0 IS they come.
Over 800 of them have been assigned
to the state, but rs yet only a part Of
that number has arrived. Some coun-
ties have asked for as high as 20 Of
these trucks to be used in lettering
their roads.
The government specifies that they
can be used for no other purpose than
building and maintaining roads in
counties which have federal aid pro-
jects. Next year it is planned to in
crease the number Of miles of road laid
with the aid Of the squadrOns Of
trucks.
The Bottineau courant. (Bottineau, Bottineau County, N.D.) 1895-1929, 1919-08-28

would be able to reduce their present
cost of production. With the market
out Of their control and with good
profits obtainable only on larger mill
ing operations the mills will be serv-
ing the people rather than holding
them up. The juggling Of brokers
would likewise be eliminated.
That the government has been able
to buy flour for export at $40 to
$10.80 a barrel indicates the POSSIBLE
ity Of big savings. The millers' con-
tention that this export flour is low
grade and therefore 81 to So cheaper
than our flour is probably unfounded.
Most Of it is necessarily made from
wheat which otherwise would be milled
into domestic flour, and practically all
the wheat now costs them more than
the minimum. The regular mill run
Of wheat is supposed to produce 1876
pounds Of good flour and GA pounds Of
inferior flour and mill feeds from 264
pounds Of wheat.
The director of the Minnesota APP
peal board declared as a result Of re-
cent studies that the mills could give
us flour for $1,000 a barrel from $3.50
wheat. Other independent studies
have produced similar figures. The
threat Director Barnes Of the grain
corporation made two months ago to
sell export flour about 81 cheaper than
the prevailing market price indicates
the extent Of the regular p~rofiteering
and it also spoils the story about ex-
port flour being to poor for our ms
ket. " 2 3
IF congress will make this threat Of
Barnes not only q threat but a method
for handling the whole flour market,
we a get cheaper bread and at the
same time the farmer can be paid q
price which will keep up production

EXPORT BUYING PLAN FOR DO
MESTIC TRADE WOULD AID
FARMER AND CONSUMER

Government officials who were in
clined toward the theory that living
costs could be reduced by a raid on
wheat prices, + made q little more
thoughtful by the evidence Of crop
damage. But the danger is not yet
passed. Not only the farmers who
have reaped small returns per acre
this year, but the whole business Of
the Northwest depending on farmer
income have reason to be on guard.
Cheaper bread is at most q small
factor in the cost Of living. And the
nation can not afford to get it by
forcing the price of wheat down below
cost Of production. Such action, as
recommended in not a few high places
would cut farm production next year
and SO make the bread problem worse
than now.
Market Reform Needed
Cheaper bread, however, is possible
through thorough market reform. By
such reform we can pay the farmer q
guarantee and at the same time take
as much as 81 from the wholesale price

of flour. Further regulation Of baking
would carry this saving through to
the consumer and lop off some Of the
waste and profiteering in the retail
and baking trade.
Figures presented by the milling in
terests to show flour cost as between
$12 and SIS q barrel are based on
erroneous principles. They evidently
cover the costs of the most inefficient
mills and added expense Of part-time
operation. There is no good reason
why all the. mills should get what it
costs q few inefficient mills to mill a
barrel Of flour.
The government is already handling
q large amount Of flour for the ex-
port trade. There is no reason why
it's operations could not be extended to
domestic trade as well. II it balks
at taking over the operations Of the
mills themselves, it could find the cost
Of milling for the efficient mills and
allow each mill this sum plus a small
profit per barrel.
