NO UNUSUAL SUIT MODELS
Toward-the-Front Effect is Featured
in Outfits Which Are Smart and
Graceful.

Bernard has made some odd suits,
perfectly fiat from neck to ankle at
the back, while the front Of the skirt
flares and ripples from gathering at
the beltline, and the front of the box
coat flares forward like the skirt.
Rather a weird way to make a suit,
but somehow or other it is smart and
graceful.
Bulloz has also put out a model
with this toward-the-front effect, a
blue serge model with rabbit. fur trim
ming. Both coat and Embroidered
tunic slope downward in an obliQue
line from front to back. Perhaps
most interesting of all French models
are the georgette frocks with flounced
skirts made of rather stiff silk. There
are flounced frocks of metal lace
also, and all these g%eqrgette creations
are so graceful and coquettish and
feminine that they will surely "take"
with womankind.

In an editorial addressed to Con-
gresham Baer ON July IL the Fargo
Forum ~imferentially calls the farm
ers and laboring people of North
Dakota "asses." Since this amaz
ing and incredible blunder, from a
journalistic standpoint, thousands of
farmers and working people unani-
mously agree that this organ of the

The Forum takes pleasure in liken
ing North Dakota people to Balamm's

been shrewd enough to wrench the
state government from Big Business
and adopt a program of industrial
justice.
How astoundingly dense, impolitic
and perverse the Forum is! Does it
not know that pride, hauteur, AFRO
gance disdain and snobbery always
precede a cataclysmic fall?
Talk about making a fool of your

it's a snob. Leave it to the common

100 PER CENT AMERICANISM
Is there such a thing as n hu

Is there such a thing as one hun
dred per cent Americanism?
We're inclined to believe not.
Some average American with no
political xes to grind and naught
but the good of the U. S. A. at
heart may come along with a form
of Americanism that is so nearly per
feet we would mark it 99.9 per cent.
Then, an agent of Special Privilege,
a smooth, clever humbug might chance
by with several %decanters full of stuff
labeled A~mericanism. Upon analysis
we would find it to be three parts
graft and one part downright decep-
ton. In the matter of Americanism
we would naturally mark this quack
patriot zero.minus.
No matter whether the exclusive
guardians of Americanism are multi
millionaire pr~ofiteers or militant,
carmine- hued radicals, none of them
can ~truthfully lay claim to having
the hundred per cent product. The
absolute dose not exist.
One hundred per cent Americanisn
is simply the ideal toward which all
lovers of liberty, justice and truth IL
in the U. S. A. are striving!
