Bismarck, N. D., April .17.-Gov-
ernor Lynn y. Frazier today issued
the following proclamation, setting
aside May as American Day:
.u "A Proclamation.
,.,s5 American Day.
Throughout the nation today there
is widespread unrest and openly ex-
pressed dissatisfaction, Profiteering
has flourished as never before, mob
violence has in too many instances
been permitted to go unchallenged,
and little effort has been made to
change the unfavorable conditions
that have controlled the marketing
OF products and surrounded labor.
Strong arm methods have been em-
ployed where a policy of simple JUS
tice might much better have served
the purpose: ae1s}, ~ <s5
The seriousness @of the situation is
apparent to all. To cope with it sue
cessfully requires cool heads and a
program of constructiveness, rather
than of destructiveness. Where there
are grievances an effort should be
made to right them. Repressivc
measures only add fuel to .theaflames
A sane. frank policy alone will.restore
public confidence and equilibrium.
Believing it to be the earnest wish
North Dakota that the spirit of true
democracy should be encouraged, and
that American ideals and traditions
be upheld and >fostered, hereby des.
tgnate Saturday. May 1, as American
Day, and recommend that this 'occa.
sion be approximately celebrated
throughout the state by patriotic
gatherings, parades and in such 9TH
er fitting ways as may be determined

Strange Pledges.

A little while back an airman, who
evidently found himself in temporary
difficulties. paid visit to the Mont de
Piete, as the state-owned pawn
broking establishment is called in
France, and offered 4 new monoplane
in pledge. He was told. however, that
the "article" did not appear in the
schedule Of goods that could be &C.
cepted. according to London Answers.
A menagerie proprietor conceived
the idea Of raising money by trotting
his elephant round to the "Lombard'
the Brussels name for a pawnbfoker.
After good deal Of persuasion "un-
Gle" agreed to advance f20 on the big
beast. which was deposited In 4 yard
at the rear Of the establishment.
There he remained four days and
at the end Of that time he was led
back to the menagerie.

Among Styles.

Necklines are interesting this year.
There are those becoming lines that
accompany the pictorial dresses, square
In front and ending In short V at the
:,ack, says Vogue. There are also ex-
treme decollete effects with deep Y
at the back and in front. Other neck
lines are very low in the foundation
bodice, but are veiled to high neck
line. These lines are usually in gowns
Of net or lace, and the softness is most
fiattering. Little trimming is used,
but that which is, Is most effective.
Flounces are popular in gowns for the
younger woman. They are pretty on
taffeta gowns or on lace or tulle.
Bands Of ostrich or monkey fur are
particularly smart and, when bought
by the yard, are not such an extrava-
gance as one might imagine. Metal
embroidery, bands Of metal and appli-
cations of handmade silk flowers are
also used and may be had by the yard
ut reasonable prices from the depart
ment shops.

TO Make DOLL PINCUSHI0K
Article Which Will Prove Adornment
40 Well az Place for Al
Kinds Of Pins.

If one can believe that thing
Of beauty is a joy forever, then one
will find this doll pincushion a Joy
indeed!
You have seen those dolls which
one may buy in almost any needle"
work department Of any large
store, with the wire frame bodies,
haven't you? And you have seen how
they have been covered SO that they
look like dear little old-fashioned
ladies, with hoop skirts, only to
masquerade as lamp shades?
Well, they can be put to another
use. Cover the frame with several
thicknesses of wool wadding-say
about six. Then proceed to dress the
doll.
If you have some Of an old Persian
:affeta sash remaining, use that for
her skirt. Or you can use plain
:affeta. Use the color which you
have used elsewhere In your room.
Trim it with festoons Of lace-either
narrow cream or gilt. Use the same
lace to make the little bodice by sew
ing it on foundation Of the taffeta.
Give her flowing sleeves Of taffeta
with e-trimmed edges, and there
Milady Doll is, all ready to have your
pins stuck into her skirt!
This pincushion is one which will
accommodate hatpins as gracefully
as smaller ones, and it is one which
you will never want to hide. Instead.
you may want to use It to hide some
practical but unbeautiful member Of
your dressing table-as, for instance,
q jnr of cold cream. Well, simply
set the little doll lady over it and
she will very perfectly hide 1t from
view.

In alligator farming. The demand for
alligators is large. constant and rap.

The few alligator farmers in America
are prospering. Alligators have to be
fed on meat, but they need no food
from September l to May l. for this IS
their alternating season. when they
do not eat at all. Alligator skins are
used for making bags. suitcases
