No Hioh Cost Of Clothing Here.

When a hole is worn in tapa cloth 1t
is only necessary to moisten the edges
and beat them together. Tapa cloth
was once woven or pounded into
shape in many parts of the South Sea
islands. 1t is made of the banks of
the banana, breadfruit or mulberry.
The rough outer bark is first scraped
off and the inner fibers are beaten to-
gether and allowed to ferment. So
me is the texture of the cloth that
one would never imagine it had been
prepared in this crude manner. 1t is
bleached to dazzling white color in
the sun, and when made into gar
mentss is practically indestructible.--

one of the guests said, thinking it was
time to leave. They had all eaten a
great deal and they had talked great
deal. too. There had just been a
quiet spell and they thought that was
the time TO go.
But Mr.. Mallard Duck raised one Of
his funny feet, and said:
'sOh, no, you mustn't go yet. There
is some delicious soft grass ice cream
for everyone"
SO they finished the party with
grass ice cream which is made of soft
grass which grows by the water and
which is the favorite kind of ice cream
among the mallards.

Mrs. Dunlevy acted as hostess

18th.

ed on the meeting of her commit
tee at which it was decided to give
a Yea Old Year Concert" to help
raise funds for the gymnasium
room. Details to follow later.
Mrs. @. M. Culp read a short

CHERRY EXPOUNDS THE
LEAGUE OF NATIONS

II. S. G.. Cherry of Sioux Falls,
the democratic candidate for Un-
tied States Senator, spent the past
week west of the Missouri River
in Jones, Jackson Stanley and Haa-
kon counties in the interests of his
candidacy. Mr.. Cherry is polish
ed gentleman, and he makes care
fully prepared and polished ad-
dress. He is lawyer of long ex-
perience and he approaches his
subject with the care ful skill of
a lawyer. 1t is not hard for him
ito make the better cause seem
| the worse.
The democratic candidate de-
votes his addresses entirely to the
League of Nations. He says moth
ing about his party's conduct of
the war, the woeful waste and ex-
travagance that has characteriz-
ed democratic mismanagement. He
does not refer to the financial in
fation that has brought upon us
something near to ruin. If he ever
heard that the federal reserve sys-
tenn has devoted its efforts to en-
riching the cotton growers of the
Southland to destroying the stock
growing and other agricultural in
terests of the North, he does not
cnce indicate it in the course of
the address he makes. He simply
talks the League of Nations.
And Mr.. Cherry's remarks about
the League are interesting. He
says that the people must vote for
/ the Democratic candidate for the
presidency and the Wilson League
of Nations to keep us out of war
There is a familiar sound about
this. We are reminded that four
years ago the Democrats told us
that we must vote for the demo
cratic candidate to keep us out of
war. The idea seems to have TAX
en- possession of the Democratic
orators. They are most concern
ed about keepink us out of war.
Four years ago it was Wilson that
was sure to keep us out of war.
Now it is the Wilson League Of Ma
tions that is bound to do the trick.
It is passing strange that the abb
undance of talk the Democratic
orators have passed out to voters
about this matter of keeping the
American people out of war is
characterized by so little accom-
plishment in that direction.
After expounding the Wilson
League fer an hour, it is plain to
the audience tht Mr.. Cherry is
bothered. A note of trouble eames
into the usual even tones of his
voice, and then he takes his aud
fence into his confidence. 1t ap-
pears that the Wilson League is
after all not just the thing that
the Democratic candidate wants.
he thinks it should be adopted
only with reervations, and he care
fully outlines two reservations
that he will insist upon if he is
elected to the Senate. So it APP
pears that the speaker is after all
on Republican ground. All the re-
publicans have ever contended for
is that there should be attached
to the League of Nations suitable
reservations. The Republican mai
ority IN the Senate thought there
should be fourteen reservations
Mr.. Cherry thinks there should
be but two. He does not want the
League without the dotting Of
an ] or the crossing of a IT, as
insisted by Wilson and Candidate
Cox. Taken all in all, Mr., Cherry
makes republican rather than a
democratic address.
