70 from an old-time fashion because
u Madam Mode had to have some
~ thing new to play with, the fan
has become in a season or two, one of
the most important items of evening
costume. Ten years ago nobody ever
thought of bothcring with a fan and
when fans were revived there was a
good deal of humorous talk about the
funny customs of olden days when
early Victorian ladies gestured and
dropped and coquetted eXpertly with
their fans; and about the cunning
fans behind which Colonial ladies
whispered during the dancing of the
minuet.
But since the advent OF ostrich feath-
er fans nobody contests the supreme
value OF fan with an evening gown.
Whole winter wardrobes are built
around a single fan. For If you pos
sess a magnificent ostrich feather fan
in vivid turquoise shade you are not
likely to select dancing frocks of jade
green or rose pink or ciel blue. You
dress up to that fan--and you have as
many frocks as you can to set the fan
off in different ways. One colorful
fan can make" simple black eve-
ming frock a thing of superb smart
ness. The fan attracts all the atten-
ton and the frock becomes merely
background. Sometimes yards of tulle
matching the fan in color are tied
around the waist as a sash, or twisted
around the throat as a scarf, and then
the costume is arresting and vivid in
deed!

A PRIVATE HOUSEKEEPING

All the financial newspapers in the
country and many other publications
recently ran a story telling how Henry
Ford solved the difficulties of the
Ford Motor Company in its r%eadjust-
ment from a war to a peace basis.
In brief, Nh. Ford did what every
good business man has been doing. He
cut down his inventories by using up
all material on hand, reducde his
prices and distributed his product to
his various agents. He pushed his
collections, both foreign aod domestic,
sold what Liberty Bonds were neces-
sary, and reduced his obligations to a
minimum.
Then, says Mr.. Ford, "We went
through the offices and cut out a lot
of jobs created during the war. We
literally took out and sold a train
load of desks. We told the men who
Occupied these desks that back in the
shop there were many good jobs at
good pay, if they wanted them. Most
of them did. We cut the office forces
from 1,O74 persons to 52S. Telephone
extensions were cut about sixty per
cent. Interesting but useless stats
teal system were abolished.
I'VE went through the shops in the
same way. During the war we had
a foreman for about every three to
five men. To many foreman sat at
desks looking on. We sold all the
desks and put most of the former
foremen working. We now have a
foreman for about every twenty men.
Everybody and everything not produc-
ing was put in a position where it
could produce, or was eliminated.
sour difficulties were like those of
every other great plant, a heritage of
the war. We knew as the country
settled back to peace conditions some
stern establishments would be neces-
sary."
Compare the house cleaning in the
Ford plant to the helpless position of
the railroads which are still bound by
the heritage of war regulations and
working conditions but are helpless
to make needed changes due to polit-
ical supervision under which they op-
crate.
Think what a blessing it would be
to the people of this nation if a house
cleaning such as Ford gave his plant,
could be given to the various branches
of our national government and weed
out the dead timber and useless jobs
which will be a hangover from the
war and a burden to the taxpayers
for years to ONE
Politics and business do not mix.
If the Ford plant was under political
supervision the price of Ford cars
be double or treble their pres
ent cost.

Money In Our Pockets.

We think all live citizens of Missou-
la should be interested in this bit of
editorial comment from the Spokane
Chronicle:
"The Floating business Spokane is
receiving right now from the men and
ome stopping at the tourists camp
is estimated to be $4,000 to $1,000 a
day.
"Reckon the total for the season at
100 times this acknowledgement tour
lists are driving through from May till
October-and it give a neat total Of
100000 to 100000 trade for the
year.
"Cut that in two-cut it down three
fourths-and the tourists camp
would be a ~high-grade investment for
Spokane.
"And when, instead of being cut
in half, it is doubled-when the
mount spent here by these travellers
is 100000 to $1,40O, 900 as it should
be in 1922-perhaps the average bust
ness man and the average citizen will
wake up and want to know what can
be done to make the camp prettier,
handler, more comfortable, until it
will attract half a thousand instead
of a hundred cars of tourists every
day.
The camp pays. And the better
1t is made the better it will pay"
If the business from the auto tour
lists camp is worth from $4,000 to
$1,000 daily to Spokane, certainly it
is worth $4,000 a day to Missoula.
The other day the manager of one of
our large department stores said that
practically all his business from eight
in the morning until noon on that
day had been with automobile tour
lists.
There can be no argument as to

NORTH DAKOTA ELECTION

The North Dakota recall election
is assured. 1t probably will be held
Tuesday, November 1. Enough sig
natures are on the petition to make
it necessary under the recall law. The
recall is aimed at Gov. Frazier, At
torney-General Lemke, and Labor
Commissioner Hagen. These three
are members of the State Industrial
Commission, which, under Non-Parti-
san League political control, became
vested with extensive power. There
are no democrats or republicans in
North Dakota when this issue is in
volved. 1t is a question of being for
or against the Non-Partisan League
and the Industrial Commission.
The recall election will be of more
than statewide interest. Not only
has there been immediate effect felt
