Community Hall.

a community hall has been the
sui. iect Of the hour.
That large hall is needed in
this community no one will
denv. The present places Of
catherine are wholly inadequate
for this fast growing community
and there i8 great sentiment and
spirit for large community
buit'in" The principal differ
enccs OF opinion are how to go
about it and this is now being
worked out by committees in
charge and will soon be given
publicity.
Partridge township and Askov
village going together on bond
issue for part Of the money to
he raised has been suggested
and this matter is now being
looked into thoroughly. The
balance of the money would have
to be raised hy popular sub
scription. In looking up the sta
tutes in a township manual one
ftds that the limit any town
skin NAV spend on town hall
is $4,000; this perhaps is also the
casc with village and in tha'
event only $4,000 could he raised
through that source were the
voters willing. However the
statutes may be different in the
ease of community hall where
the township and village unite
with popular subscription. This
matter is being looked into. IF
the community hall is built part.
II through the township and vii
laoe and in their name there
will be no taxes to pay on same
: and this is an item worth taking
into consideration. On the other
hand some people favor building
the hall through popular sub
scription and not do any bond
ing. IT il is possible to bond
for more than $1,000 the village
of Askov especially should be
careful not to 90 so high that
there can be no funds available
for fire protection which is a
thing that needs serious atten-
ton soon. 1t is possible to
build community hall through
popular subscription but is it
possible to procure fire protec-
ton through popul,r subscrip-
ton? At any rate it would be
very impracticable This is one
thing we have in mind which we
must be careful about. Popular
subscription at least for part OF
it is also one thing which is
necessary it the whole commun-
ity is to come in on it. A bond
issue alone would deprive the
many people of this community
living in Finlayson. Norman and
Sandstone townships Of contri-
huting to the community build
ing. They are all a part Of this
large community and want te
take part so a popular sub
scription at least for big por

POLITICAL. COLUMN
(Bv Vance Chapman)

Republican gubcrnatorial cir
les lost one eligible and the
Second Congressional district
gained possible addition this
week when Frank Ellsworth of
Blue Earth county announced
his Withdrawal from the Repub
lican guhernatorial lists His
withdrawal was conveyed in .
letter to a friend in Mankato.
It is now presumed that Mr..
Ellsworth will again seek the
Republican nomination for Con-
gress. IL he does enter the Re-
publican congressional lists in
the Second district it will mean
trouble for Frank Clague at
any rate that is the feeling in
state capitol circles. Mr.. Ellis
worth's withdrawal is also con-
sidered as greatly clarifying the
Republican gubernatorial CON
test. In the Second district
Judge Clague and Van Bowen,
congressional candidates have
vigorously advocated congress
sional elimination convention as
proposed by Senator Duea o.
Pipestone and Judge Allen Ct
Fairmont. but in view of the
now complications caused by Mr.,
Ellsworth's appearance on the
scene they may change their
minds. Another surprise to
break this week is the announce
ment that c. A. Iindhergh may
again try for his old congression-
al job in the Sixth district. II
comes on good authority that he
is giving the matter serious con
sideration.

SHOULDN'T BE OLD AT 10
vIgor May Be Retained by the EIimI-
nation Of Preventable and
Premature Decay.

At 70-odd you can be healthy, Wig
orous and full of fight. This is the
belief Of DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, who
is conducting In Good Housekeeping
'"rhe League for Longer Life" We
read:
Life In the United States, and In
every other country, is unquestion-
ably shorter than II need be, and its
period Of healthy efficiency is roo
short even for that average length of
life. II has been computed that the
average of fully efficient manhood and
wOmanhoOd under the present condi-
lions Is only about ten years. Health
Is Enthusiastically the most important
possession that we have; our happi-
ness, our success In business, and In
family life, depend upon 1t.
Average life, as revealed by the
mortality statistics, undergoes In this
country two critical danger points as
regards death-the first under one
year Of age, the second about the age
of seventy-five. The prolOnging Of the
average duration Of life, which Is now
about forty-five years, to the second
danger point, is theoretically possible
by the elimination Of preventable and
premature decay"

BATHING SUITS
APE ALL MODES
Beach Costumes Depict Fashion
Review of Various Styles Of
the Season.
BLACK ENJOYS FIRST PLACE
CoIor's Absence Last Summer From
Front Line Ranks Was Only Tenn
porary; Marked Vogue for
Brown.

The bathing costumes appearing on
the beaches this year, writes o. sea-
shore fashion correspondent, depict
fashion review of all the styles that
we have had In dresses this season.
The evening dress, the afternoon frock,
the sports suit all find their pro-
tOtype in the bathing suit Of today.
Just like the young girls evening
dresses are the taffeta suits, with
their billowing skirts composed Of tier
after tier of ruffles, picot edged or
bound with silk, and their huge ribbon
sashes with streaming ends.
1t is the simple youthful type Of eve-
ming dress, elaborate for the beach,
1t is true, but plain in contrast to
the extreme things of last season, In
which no effort was spared to make
them all that was costly and perisha-
BILE. velvets were dyed, then crushed
and printed into gorgeous designs.
Cashmeres were treated to give them
the appearance Of costly antique stuffs.
Handwork Of all sorts was featured in
great quantities.
Last year the seaside resorts were
very gay for the first time In sever
al years, and bathing suits were al
most lurid. Each woman, In her de-
sire to express JOY at the end of the
dreary war years, selected the gay
est things she could finland there
were plenty Of gay bathing suits to be
found Bright reds, brilliant puppies
and vivid green's bobbed over the sur
face of the waters and basked In the
sunshine on the sands. Everybody APP
parently seized the opportunity to rev.
ell in the most brilliant clothes ever
seen on the beaches, and the seashore
was one spot where bright apparel did
not appear out Of place.
Reaction Toward Simpler Things
This year, however. sees a change
In bathing suits. The pinnacle of ex-
travagance In fashion appears to have
been reached. for the time being, at
least, and there is tendency to turn
toward simpler things. The beach
clothes faithfully mirror the demand
for something simpler In our dress.
Many Of them are exact copies Of sim
pie little French frocks.
A turning to the darker colors Is
noted. Black, which was almost
crowded out Of the list Of bathing
things last year, now enjoys first place.
It's absence from the front line ranks
was only temporary. This may be due
in a measure to the fact that people
found bright colors unsatisfactory
when dipped In the salt water every
day or exposed to the bright sun, and
are quite ready 10 come back to the
practical black satin and taffeta suit.
The vogue for brown is quite as
marked In bathing suits as in other
clothes. We never have thought Of
brown as an attractive color for
bathing suits; In fact, II was unusu-
nj to see IL on the beach. Probably
because the color has been so much

out some of their prettiest models In

A cubist Difficulty.

Blasco Ibanez, the Spanish novelist,
was talking In New York about the
cubists.
81 know cubist I'm Madrid" he
said, who paints portraits that look
like eggs, chains bottles, rocks-any-
thing but the models they are painted
from.
II dropped in on this cubist I'm his
studio one morning, and found him
examining with low, troubled Oaths
some 20 or 30 of his masterpieces.
"'What's the matter, old MANI
said.

MuchO Denaro. the oil proflteer, has
just sent around for his portrait. and

Too Good TO Work.

A tall ancestral clock stood upon the
mantelpiece In a Southern home
faithful.tO Its duty. 1t had run unin-
terruptedly for years. On a holiday
occasion the maid, an Old-time negro,
decorating the house with holly and
mistletoe, furnished the clock with a
particularly brilliant wreath, and as
she said, dressed 1t up for the occa-
sion. The next morning when she
came to work, the faithful old clock
had stopped.
She stood before 1t, arms akimbO,
and apostrophized 1t: 81 knowed you
was going to stop, clock You is just
like a nigger-no sooner n you gets
all dressed up, you think you is too
good to work."

back before he reached land. An ex-

on the progress of the race.

Transparent Wraps.

Nets and veilings, as well as chlf-
fons are used to make transparent
wraps When worn over d bright col
ored frock or a gown with a huge,
bright-colored sash, the effect Is beau
tiful, for the wrap serves to shadow
the frock. The sashes and other
bright-colored garnitures are lovely,
showing through the nets. There is
much in the way of inspiration to be
had from very old-fashioned wraps.
The charm of other days is faithfully
mirrored today In hip length and
shoulder capes composed of tiers Of
Alphabetically Chantilly.

MuFF OF FLOWERS
Latest Accessory Is Used to En-
nance FiImy Frock.
Winter Convenience, Together With
Parasol, Return to Their Own
In Mllady's Favor.

In summer the parasol and In win
ter the muff have been, throughout
the ages, excuses for the most Ian.
guorous and enchanting gestures EN-
ployed by madame en- promenade
says Vogue. What inestlmable dam
age has been wrought by lovely arms
during the artful manipulation OF q
parasol upon summer day, or when
winter winds cause a shy retreat into
the deep fur of muff.
These weapons are replaced In the
evening by flowers. There is an ire
sistible fascination In the sight of a
lovely woman at the opera armed
with a large bouquet Of roses or lilies,
placing II upon the rail of the box,
raising II to her face, holding 1t to one
side. All Is done, of course, In
rhythmic Inconsistencies, for without
doubt she is completely absorbed In
the music.
During the war, and especially
when 1t was fashionable to go about
tanned to a deep burnt almond, the
parasol was discarded; but this sea-
son marks its temperance. No doubt
the war is to be blamed for the dis
appearance of flowers as well. Now,
however. the parasol has returned,
and the muff and flowers come back
together. Throughout the gracious days
OF summer we shall observe this muff,
employed In hundred delicious
gestures, as fair women stroll along
the edge of the sea or upon the shell
tered terraces Of country estates. II
will prove an airy complement to del
icate, pale frocks, and ii will also
become very useful as hiding place
for a lace handkerchief, a tiny bou-
quet of flowers or a gold tipped Gig
arctic.
The muff Is also seen at the play,
giving the pretty contradiction of
arms concealed and folded closely,
while shoulders and back reveal an
audacious decOlletage. 1t Is usually
made of flowers, Parma violets or
white narcissus, quite round and with
out ornament.
We may expect, however, to see
more Imagination displayed; the nun
may become great bouquet Of roses,
with clusters Of them showering down
to the hem Of the frock; 1t may be a
mass Of tulle putting out between en-
circling bands of golden laurel leaves,
the luster of which is only mistily
yelled. Perhaps 1t will have to be
content to remain quietly upon fore
arm like a large ornament, or 1t may
take the place Of lace fan, flutter-
ing just below the eyes, which sparkle
with an added malice and charm
above the transparent mask. A dash
Ing Roman type may fashion hya-
cinths or roses into tambourine, sur
mounted by butterfly of painted
gauze with painted antennae to wave
gently, creating a little perfumed
breeze.
But, after all, what a useless pro-
ceeding to make suggestions to any
fiower-loving coquette. One need only
remark quite casually that a muff of
flowers would be diverting addition
to filmy frock, and Immediately her
little head Is full Of the most delight
full Ideas on the matter, and the gold
en- days and silver nights Of sum-
mer are more dangerous than ever.
