Apparel

Prices OF both mems and women's
wearing apparel continued their de-
cline. The expiration OF the price
guaranty on overcoats on December /
resulted in marked. concessions among
those manufacturers who were over
loaded with this merchandise. In
some cases reductions Of 33 l-3 per cent
from opening prices were reported.
Retailers declare that the public Is
not responding as it should to the
price reductions being made In that
branch of the trade. With the ap-
proach Of the holiday season. how
ever, interest in apparel is pushed aside
and this probably explains some Of
the apathetic attitude Of the public at
present. The few mems clothing es-
tablishments that are not advertising
large reductions at present are CON
splcuous. Some of the most conserva-
tive stores that seldom conduct cut
price sales are now entering into gen.
eral competition in this direction.
Little progress has been made TO-
ward getting the spring apparel sea-
son started. A few mems clothing es-
tablishmcnts have opened spring lines
but the response of the retailers has
been light. The same is true of the
women's apparel producing trade, al
though the Palm Beach and winter
resort business is giving this section
of the needle working industry some
business.

Tubixe Plant to Produce
Only Fine Artificial Silk

Only fine artificial silk yarns will be
produced in the new Hopewell, Va,
plant of the Tnbize Corporation, ac-
cording to an announcement Of q
change in the company's original plans.
The manufacture of the fine yarns. be-
tween 35 ard l25 dcrner, will not COM
pete with the production Of the larger
yarns already being turned out by
other plants in this country. The fine
yarns. it is said, will be offered chiefly
to ribbon and underwear manufacture
ers and makers Of novelty silk goods
The coarser yarns 90 into the sweater
and hosiery trades ckiehy.
According to an official Of the COM
pany, the production of fine artificial
silk threads in this country will give
American underwear manufacturers an
opportunity to compete with the
French makers, whose product is said
to be coming here in increasing guam
titles in competition with the real silk
knitted garments made on this side Of
the Atlantic.

Leather

Actual new business is materializing
in some sections Of the shoe and leather
trade. Some shoe manufacturers are
reported to have bought sole leather
last week, and better orders for i'm
mediate and spring deliveries of shoes
are announced by some manufacturers.
Rochester producers expect to increase
operations soon and some Of the New
England factories are increasing their
working hours. The bulk OF new bust
ness, however, continues to be re-
stricted to novelty footwear, and as yet
there has been no large movement
toward forward buying of staple goods.
The purchasing Of large quantity Of
packer Eidcs by few tanners week
or so ago has not stimulated other tan
ners to similar action. Hide quota
tions for the week remained unchanged.
New-York tribune., 1920-12-06
Co'ions

Impetus was. given the unfinished
goods division Of the cotton trade
when several large convcrtecs came
into the market early in the week and
placed sizeable orders FOR print cloths
and other varieties OF gray fabrics
This activity was checked, however, by
an almost immediate advance IN price 9
by mills and the refusal Of some pro
ducers to accept orders for goods for
delivery during the first three months
of the new year Southern mills are
said to have received most Of the new
business. Open market quotations ed
vanccd during the week fully three
quarters Of cent yard on leading
print cloth constructions
Other divisions Of the trade were
unaffected so far as new business was
concerned. A few commission houses
withdrew offerings IF goods on memo
randum and fixed firm prices, espe-
Cially or sheetings.

Jewellers Confident
OF Christmas Trade
Sales Show Little Decline From
Year Ago, Many Say; De-
pend on Cifs Buying

Although the Christmas buying may
rot equal that of last year, which was
considered the banner season In the
history Of the iewelry trade, the con-
sensus OF opinion among retail jewelers.
is that the holiday business will not
be far behind the buying in the pre-
ceGing year.
A jewelry manufacturer. who is the
leading factor in the trade, said that
although there may be some spots in
the United States where business has
TEN porarily had slowing down, the
season of gift giving is now in full
swing and because there are so many
useful articles made of gold, TIE retail
jewelers. are experiencing their normal
business.
Many do not expect to exceed their
abnormal sales of the Christmas sea-
son of 1919" he continued, "but re-

Batcheder forwards the information
that, contrary to last year. when the
cotton crop was poor, resulting in a
shortage of cottonseed oil. the crop
this year is good and the oil down in
price to about II cents a gallon. On
the other hand, the drought in north

severely. Bean oil Is used as sub

than at this time last year Retailers

wholesalers. The high grade clock and
watch ends Of the business are suffer

branches Of the industry.

Silks

A slightly better tone prevailed In
the finished silk goods market and
many producers reported an increase
in the number Of customers placing
orders for spring goods. The trade,
however, still lacked normal brisk
ness. silk manufacturcrs are in
cinea TO view the situation with more
optimism than for some time, be-
lieviNg that the worst Of contract ad-
justments and the dumpinc OF distress
goods on the market has been passed.
Jobbing and retail stocks are reported
to be more unbalanced than usual and
it is felt that certain amount of
"flling in" buying to bring these
stocks back to something approaching

MEETING AT PIETY
HILL PLANS PICNIC
COUNTRY AND CITY FOLKS GET
TOGETHER, DANCE AND TALK
TILL LATE HOUR

The farmers meeting at Piety Hill
school house last Saturday night was
attended by quite number of the
country people as well as several
from town. The original purpose of
the meeting, which was to organize
farmers club for that neighbor-
hood, was not accomplished on ac-
count of the late hour at which the
people got together and also because
the attendance was not considered
sufficiently representative of all parts
of that community. Nevertheless, it
was good meeting that accomplish
ed some good ends and afforded
those present pleasant time.

gather, a dance was held, music be-
ing furnished by Bill Balbinot and
his violin, and, later, by Albert Lang

MIDNIGHT MARATHON,
LAST PIE THE PRIZE

Did you see the mysterious mara
thon that took place on our streets
last Tuesday evening, sometime be-
tween the time when curfew is sup
posed to ring and the hour when Sir
Chanticleer begins his morning trum-
peting? If you didn't, you missed
something. Rumor says that there
were twenty of the runners, that
some were tall and some were short,
and some were thin and some were
decidedly-plump. Now, if you were
one of the spectators, and looked
quick enough, maybe you noticed
that most of that score of ladies were
the sort who Should have had more
dignity" Yes, some of them even
better. Then, wherefore the haste?
Did the plump ones want to be thin
ner and the thin ones want to be
plumper? Oh, no, it's whispered
that the caravan was headed for the
Little Owl Cafe, and that somebody
had a hunch that there wasn't going
to be pie enough to go around. But
don't for the life of you hint to any
body that those were some of the
Civic League members, and that they
had been to the schoolhouse all eve
ming plotting mysteriously about
something that will be disclosed
later. Don't say that, or there might
be scandal in town.
Those who ran, and those who
"also ran" say that it was lots of
fun. Those who weren't there at
all will never know just how much
they missed.

MIDNIGHT VISIT BY
TRAIN OF SHRINERS
OVER 200 OF THE BEST Eel
LOWS IN THE WORLD WILL
STOP HERE JUNE II

At a late hour on June IT, not
March 18th nor May 18th, but the
1 eth of June, Wolf Point folks are
likely to hear a noise that will wake
'em up. According to a letter receiv-
ed by Claude Moore from C. N.
Barnes of Grand Forks, waking us
up will be one of the objects of a
visit to be paid us that night by 225
Shriners, members of KEN Temple,
who will be on their way to Portland
to attend the Imperial Council Ses-
sion there on June 1924. The let
ter of Recorder Barnes does not in
sinuate that we are a sleepy COM
munity, but the waking-up process
has reference to the hour of their
visit, which will be from 11:30 on
the 18th to 100 a. m. on the 18th.
Make Only Two Stops
Regardless of the hour, Wolf Point
should feel highly honored when it
is considered that Wolf Point is the
only stop made by the Shriners' Spe-
cial in Montana with the exception
of Glacier Park where they stay nine
hours to get a glimpse of the famous
Mr. Barnes in his let
ter to Mr.. Moore, who is president
Of the local Shrine club, says that
very close ties of friendship between
Grand Forks and Wolf Point Shrin-
ers grew out Of the Shrine meeting

rom Williston the Grand Forks
punch resolved that they would stop
md pay us a visit when they made

HOMESTEADERS HAVE
UNTIL NOV. |, 1920

The earnest efforts of C. F. Blaich
of the Settlers Association and Sec
retary Foor, acting under the direc-
tion of the Commercial club direc-
tors, have brought the greatly de-
sired results of securing an extern
sion of the time allowed for paying
the interest and deferred INSTALL
ments on reservation land until Nov.
1st, 1920.
Orders had been issued by the
commissioner of the general land
office that these payments must be
made by June 1st on pain of can
collation. of entries. When these in
structions to the land office became
known, local people did everything
possible to secure reconsideration
and extension of the time. Many
letters and kilograms passed between
here and Washington. Senator Ny
ers and Congressman Riddick at once
gave assurance of their best efforts
in behalf of the settlers, but the mat
ter was unsettled and the cause of
much anxiety until Monday, when
Mr.. Blaich received a message from
Senator Myers saying:
C. F. Blaich,
Wolf Point, Montana.
Just received notice from Com
missioner Tallman that extension of |
time to all delinquent entrymen on
Fort Peck Reservation will be grant
ed until November to make payment.
This applies to both principal and in
terest. 1t is all you asked. Glad to
give you this news.

Market. The change not only gives
Mr.. Greenwald better location for

and the lunch counter is conducted

Indian Industrial School
Closes With Fine Program
Pupils Show Much Ability

The closing exercises of the In
dian Industrial school at Oldtowr
on May 26 and 81 were we'll attend
ed by whites as well as Indians anc
were a revelation to those who had
not kept in touch with the work that
is being done at the Mission. On
May 26 the forenoon was taken up
by an exhibit of the work done by
the pupils of the school.
Deft With Hands
The sewing, embroidery and GRO
chet work done by the girls under
the supervision of Mrs. Oliver
Moore attracted much favorable
comment. In the garment making
classes, the girls are taught to draft
their own patterns and in this way
they are able to plan their own
dresses. There was also some very
neat crochet work shown, some of it
being the first work of the sort done
by the girls. Mrs. Moore says that
the Indian children excel in any
work that they can do with their
hands. There was also some basket
work and weaving exhibited which
was done by the younger pupils.
Show Talent in Art.
The walls of the school room were
ined with samples of the children's
school work, and their work in pen
and drawing was noticeably
inc. Special mention should be
made of the work of VIM. Standing,
ffteen-year-old boy whose draw
ng show decided talent. Some very
ttractive posters have been made
" the younger children illustrating
arious stories.
Practical Industrial Training.
The enrolment at the Mission
chool has been about 70 this past
