New fhort Skirts Wide And Narrow

New Ghort Skirts Wide And Narrow
Fashion has concentrated on the
length OF skirts-she does not seem
TO care about the width. Some of
the new dance frocks fare exceed

very clinging skirts are really won

enough to carry of the style. The

that trousers and tall boots might
almost be imagined below the tunic
and cavalier cape flung over the
shoulders. The lining Of the cape

braid-plays an important part in the
picturesqueness Of the costume; and
OF course. the cap-like headgear does
too. This costume is in tones Of navy
and gray, the cape lining apricot

Short Skirted Frocks Youthful
No denying the fact that a woman
does look younger in short skirt-if
the whole costume has lines OF youth.
These very short frocks have to be
distinctly girlish-not TO say childish
in type or there would be a
grotesque suggestion rather than a
saucy. dainty suggestion. So the new
frocks are very simple in line Many
OF them are mere chemise. or kimono
models with little sleeves cut all IN

skirts much dash and style. Particu-

Purchase Large Tract Os Land.

Through a deal made this week
Reid & Meade have acquired title
to another large tract of land, part
of which is located in Iron county
and part in Gogebic county. The
land was purchased from the Bor-
der Land company. There is an
estimated total of !. 900 acres in the
tract, located east of Saxon, with
the Montreal river running through
it. The northern boundary OF the
tract is near Lake Superior. Most
of the timber has been cut OF and
Reid Il Meade declare that 1t Is ex-
cellent farming land and have plac-
ed it on the market and will sell 1t
to prospective farmers. Access to
this large tract of land is possible
by way of the road east Of Saxon
that runs north to the power house
near the falls. With the placing
of this extensive acreage OH the
market additional land for farming
in Iron county is available and as
the land in the northern part of the
county is conceded to be fine for
farming no doubt it will be readily
taken mp by settlers.
Henry Meade, accompanied by
George Grabig, the veteran land
locker, went over this tract of land
yesterday and Mr.. Grabig reported
that it was the finest tract of land
for farming purposes in the north
ern part of the state.

Pretty Baby"

THE 1920 Jimmie Hodges version
of Pretty Baby" is bound to be as
popular az its two predecessors in
1917 and 1918" said one enthusiastic
reviewer after the premier last fall of
the famous musical comedy which is
TO be seen at The Ralto, Wednesday
May 18th. Time has proven that the
prophet was not over enthusiastc but
rather lukewarm in his praise for the
new musical offering of Jimmie
Hodges. Responsible. for Pretty
Baby" the past two seasons. not only
lived up TO the reputation of the form
er two, but greatly eclipsed them,
bothin drawing power and the creation
of enthusiasm in the audiences.
Jimmie Hodges seems to be an mex
haustible we'll of musical jOllity. 1t
seldom happens that three successes,
so decided as those, follow in rapid
aud uninterrupted succession. Here
is one man who is fast earning a rep
utation among musical comedy pro-
ducers.
Amongst the musical comedy favor
ties seen with this seasons success are
Don l4anning. Jean Gaynor, Ada Lang
ley, Ray Yearwnod, Tom Williams,
Joe Richardson. Marion Kelly and
the handsomest AID best trained
chorus in the fields OF musical comedy.

The beginning of the gardening sea
son marks the beginning Of the neigh
borly disputes over chickens. This is
one question to which there are not
two sides. The man whose chickens
dig up his neighbours garden IS abso-
lutely in the wrong. Accidents will
happen, of course, and if your neigh
Dor as a rule keeps his chicken up and
one Inadvertently slips out and scrat-
ches up your fayorite bed of sweet
peas or radishes, said neighbor de-
serves forgivness. But any man who
willfully allows his chickens to run
heller skelter through his neighbOrs
yards deserves to be gently but firmly
requested to leave the town.

viii suffer a dead loss of profit on
their investments. Other people who
exist on a fixed amount, will spend
prodigally because the articles are

take as much time and labor in pro

with prices. The change in prices
would really mean back TO the same
level with a more even distribution
OF Injuries aud necessities. 1t would
mean that people must truckle down
TO a normal expenditure more than
ever, tor the bulk of the money must
be kept in an even distribution of cir
cnlation to avoid fluctnation on every
