There are times when nothing else quite takes it's place, a fact of which l hardly need re- mind you. If I were forced to make a choice between two or three passably good dresses and one excellent tailored suit, I shouldn't hesitate a minute in choosing the latter. But I should in- sist on it's being of fine material. and the best workmanship. With one or two pretty waists, and smart hat. should feel I could go anywhere, even into orchestra seats at the Metropoli- tan Opera House.
 The sketch will show you the latest lines for this seasons tailleur, and think you will agree they are particu- larly youthful and charming. Note the skirt which is made in two sections "a front and back, the edges of each being bound with a narrow silk braid, and fastened together (by a stitching along the inner edge of the braid) to within a few inches of the hem where they are held by two large buttons Note also the row of little buttons and loops set close together down the front of the long blouse coat. and up the backs of the sleeves. This trimming of buttons and loops made of the same material as the garment, is still almost as popular as it was last season.

Metallic Turbans Revived Again The Indispensabie Taior S.lt-- French Shoes Take Hold in New


 York
 Since metallic brocade turbans first appeared three years ago, they have gone in and come out at stated inter vals. have been threaded you might say. through the fabric of fts s.lion. Just at present they are very much Tn again. At the Cabaret Review of the Palais Royal, the other evening, half the women in the room wore them. The particular excuse for this present re- vival is the beauty of the new metallic ribbons and the Pussywillow metal brooches. Both are unusually lovely in their colorings, and women can't seem to get enough-of them. Not only are they used for hats and turbans. but for cloaks, girdles. sashes, oags and accessories, of every sort. At present have two hats of this type One is a turban Of metallic rib bon in black and gold, and the other a broad -brimmed sailor of the Pussy willow metal broche. in stunning pat tern of dark blue and silver. When I wear the black and gold turban with rant l sometimes wear with it pair of black and gold slippers. and I have found this idea so effective tna, am having a pair of blue and silver slip pers made as well. It adds such a bright touch at either end of the cos tune.
 Hats of metallic ribbons and brooches are being worn again by New York women. This is a personal turban of black and gold metallic ribbon, it's folds wound under and over like the turbans of the East.

 My Own Recipes Nature just naturally provides some special foods for us when we need them most. Of these foods rhubarb is one of the most important. The pro nounced tartness of taste stimulates appetite. While rhubarb is really a vegetable it may be served in many ways as a fruit and should be used and varied often.

my mind to adopt it for my personal use On some feet these shoes look
 rather well and, of course, offer the variety for which we are all striving. I am told by an acquaintance, a musi- cal comedy star whose speciality is dancing. that the round toe makes for comfort in walking. At any rate I think the American women arc wearing the shoes with better grace than the French women. even though the style originated with them. The American woman's ankles are round and pretty and she treads evenly on the soles of her feet. an important matter when balancing on very high Colonial heels.
 The new lines of one style of the seasons taiileur are shown in this black gabardine suit. The slightly bloused coat is quite long, almost to the knees, and is finished with rows of small buttons and loops of the cloth down the front and up the sleeves.

 900 acres
 Estimated unit cost per ,acre-s74 60.
 It will be noted that the estimated cost per acre is less than the reclama tion cost under the Yuma project. No one questions the remarkable success of the Yuma project yet as one com pares the two projects the Parker Val ley project appears even more feasible.
 By way of comparison the Parker project has all its land in one body whereas the Yuma project is cut by the river into two states requiring an expensive syphon. The Parker diver sion weir is less than one-third the better site for construction of diver sion works. At Parker a protective levee will be necessary only on the Arizona side of the river whereas at Yuma protective levees upon both sides of the river are required.
 Construction of Project Certain
 The remarkable crop yields of the rich alluvial soils of the Colorado river bottom lands including the Par ker valley together with the usual climate permitting long growing sea sons and two or more successive annual crops makes the Colorado River In- dian Reservation project a certainty. The phenomenal yields of cotton. al falfa and other crops being grown by the Indians and the white settlers who are living on the lands leased from the Indian Service of the reservation are and undisputed proof of the promise of the section for farming, truck growing and fruit raising.
 The Colorado river furnishes ample water for the project without encroach- ing upon the water rights of others. The proposed irrigation project is gravity system with but slight check In the rivers course to divert the water onto the land. The cost of water ap- plication in the future is certain to be ow.

pass on down the canal for irrigation purposes. Since at times the silt con tent Of the river amounts to z 10 IS per cent by volume of the flow and since this silt in large quantities is detrimental to the physical condition of the soil and obStructS the canal and iaterals this silt exclusion problem has been an important one. TThe by-passes will be guarded by four large metal gates each 23 by 40 feet in size and each one weighing 90 tons. At times of the year the entire Colorado may be diverted through these by-passes.
 A protective levee is also provided in the plans for the purpose of insuring the lands against overflow of the river during high water.
 Unlike many irrigation projects this one is planned with a complete drain age system from the first. This will utilize certain low areas and ravines which follow through the valley.
 Preliminary Estimate of Cost
 The engineer of the project, MT. C. A.

Daily Virginian Asserting that
he is not after anyone's scalp, or
seeking to upset anyone's dope, but
only asking for representative for
the Vermilion range in the house of
representatives, A. j. Thomas of Ely,
attorney for thirty-three years resi-
dent on the Vermilion range, invaded
the Mesaba range towns this week.
He is in Virginia today hobnobbing
with old friends and making new
ones.
''The Vermilion Range" said Mr..
Thomas to Daily Virginian repre-
sentative this morning, "has not been
represented in the state legislature
since the days of Patrick R. Vail,
long before he was state senator
from Virginia. It is thirty-two years
since o. D. Kinney, then of Ely and
Duluth, was in the house. The sem
timent for a representative from the
Vermilion end of the district is strong
up our way, and that is what l am
after"

Whereas, the state of Minnesota
during the year 1919 raised 10000
600 bushels of potatoes, the greater
amount of which is shipped to east
ern markets; and
Whereas, the production of pota-
toes in/Minnesota is yet in it's infancy
and
Whereas, the potato growers in
Minnesota are deeply interested in
reduction of transportation:
Therefore, be it resolved that the
members of the board of directors
of the Minnesota Potato Exchange
at their meeting held at Minneapolis
on May %, 1920, that legislation be
enacted by the congress of the I'm
tied States, and sufficient appropria-
tions be made to open up navigation
from Duluth to the Atlantic Ocean
by way of the Great Lakes.

Rev. John Blackhurst made a short

paid high tribute to the dead and also
gave kindly words of advice to the
living. The address was trimming

was attentively listened to by the
soldiers and other citizens present.

Many citizens visited the cemetery
Sunday and Monday and decorated
the graves of loved ones. The wealth
err was of the regulation Memorial
