(RichIand County Ieader)
The editor Of the Leader was in
vited to speak Labor Day at Wolf
Point. The trip to that rapidly
growing city, which recently outstrip-
ped Glasgow in size, was very
pleasant one. It is always q pleasure
to visit any community where the
farmers, laboring men and business
men are working in harmony and
such condition exists at Wolf Point.
Here are some of the outstanding
features of the Wolf Point spirit:
It has a Chamber Of Commerce and
a live Secretary who are in thorough
accord with the organized farmers
and laborers of Roosevelt county.
It has newspaper known as the
Wolf Point Herald which is support

farmers and has two Of the large
holders. Il has taken q gtronr Stand
for clean politics in Rooseyelt county

openly endorse the course of the
common people. It is very ably edit

the farmers and iaborine men who

EMILE women have always ap-
" preciated all the little subtle
touches that are the essentials of good
dressing. In days gone by our grand
mothers learned the art Of embroidery
and occupied many hours of their time
doing painstaking and beautiful work
on their belongings. They replenished
their store of undermuslins with
dainty handmade pieces, adding re-
finements to them in embroidery and
other stitching. Underwear Of fine
cottons, decorated with exquisite en-
broideries, Is as much admired as
ever but most of it is made in other
lands than ours.
Meantime styles in undertakings
progress. They have not grown any
less dainty but they have become
more luxurious. Wash silks and
satins, laces and even chiffons have
been added to the materials used fol
making them and ribbons have re-
placed embroidery. The camisole pet
ticoat and boudoir mantle pictured
here reflect the mode in luxurious and
beautiful undertakings Of silk which
has eclipsed cotton in the favor OF
many fair women.

chariot, and in that he traversed the
world, distributing corn to all nations.

know of a most remarkable incident
during the recent primary elections

Every man who runs for any politi-

that Senator Harding had received all

in the county all but 23S votes. So
