HISTORICAL NOTES.

The original records of Pembina
county at Pembina were burned in
1879.
The, only recorded "Citizenship pa
pers" previous to that date is that
of Peter st. Armour that was issued
to him on July IL, 1876, which was
copied into the record October 31st,
1916 by the present Clerk of Court,
]. D. Winlaw.
Mr.. st. Armour came to Pembina
in 1871. and homesteaded one mile
northeast of Neche, where his son
now resides.
The first recorded "2nd papers, )"
were those Of Albert Peterson, who
came to this county in 1876. His
citizenship papers were issued to
him on January 1S, 1881, by H. r.
Vaughn, clerk Of court. The wit
nesses in the case were John Well
and Noah Johnson, the latter of
whom now resides in Cavalier. =

soned that the resolution would not
be allowed to pass the Senate, and

soned that the resolution would not
be allowed to pass the Senate, and
that if it did, it still would not
stand since it was unconstitutional.
And all of this would mean a waste
of time and effort. When the mat
ter came to a vote in committee it
drew the support of the entire Re-
publican majority with the excep-
ton of Young. The fight then was
carried into a conference of the
House Republicans and here, how
ever, the tide turned with many Of
the party leaders endorsing the
Young contentious. The resolution
failed Of an endorsement in the con-
ference and it is therefore probably
doomed if it is reported to the
House since, lacking full party sup
port, it certainly would not COM
mand that of the Democratic menu
bership.

From the Senate Committee on
Finance comes the announcement, of
interest TO service men, that the
passage of soldiers bonus act will
soon be an assured fact. The Sem
ate Committee is now working upon
the draft of a bill, which will, ac-
cording to reports, be reported and
passed at this session. Colonel F.
w. Galbraith, national commander
Of the American Legion, appeared
before the committee last week and
was told that it was the intention of
Senate leaders, irrespective of party
or sectional affiliations, to pass bo-
nus legislation as quickly as a pro-
per bill could be drafted.
This stand of the committee. was
predicted several days ago after
Senators Penrose and McCumber,
leading Republicans on the commit
tee, had given out press interviews
to the effect that it was their desire
That such legislation be enacted at
once,
Senator McCumber, who went on
record in favor of bonus legislation
during the last session, is chairman
of the subcommittee that will have
charge of drafting the soldiers bonus
bill. In this position. and as ranking
Republican on the Finance Commit
tee itself, he, more than any other
man, is in a position to settle the
bonus question to the full satisfac-
tion of the service men. He has as
sured Legion leaders here that he
will do everything in his power to
expedite action. and Senator Pen
rose. chairman of the committee, is
standing with him on the proposi-
tion. Action by the Finance Com
1nittee at this time would seem to
indicate that bonus legislation would
meet with the endorsement of the
administration.

Thus far Representative George
M. Young had been successful in his
opposition to the adoption Of the
Longworth resolution. Under this
resolution the rates in the new per-
manent tariff bill would be put into
effect with the reporting Of the tariff
bill by the Ways and Means Com
mittee. In other words the MEM
bers Of the House would be asked to
put into immediate effect rates
which they themselves would not yet
have had an opportunity to pass up
on. The object Of this, of course,
would be to prevent flood Of i'm
ports in anticipation Of increased
tariff rates to be imposed by the
new legislation.
Mr.. Young opposed this upon the
grounds that such action by a COM
mittee was unconstitutional in that
Congress had no authority to dele
gate legislative authority. He rea-

TN JANUARY, when our migra-
1 tory birds Of fashion prepare to
journey South, the young woman's
fancy turns-far from lightly-to
thoughts of clothes. She knows that
Its going to tax her resourcefulness
to play up to the wonderful parade Of
beautiful apparel that is to be found In
the show places, and that Of all things
she cannot afford to look ordinary.
And she knows also that money alone
cannot solve her problems, although
1t will 60 long way toward doing so.
By way Of helping out a little, here
are two handsome afternoon frocks
that merit approval, and one of then

draped in a skirt that is made in one
with simple but subtle bodice. One

TAKING hats ''by and large"-just
L average hats-that are now dis
charging their responsibility as mid
winter head coverings, we come to the
cheerful conclusion that their standards
of beauty have advanced. In millinery,
as in some other things. Americans
were thrown upon their own resources
during the war and the effect on de-
signers appears to have been stimulat-
ing. They have become more or less
self-reliant.
Five hats such as stroll along the
streets Of any busy city will reveal
on the head Of shoppers or promenad-
ers, are shown here. They include
three models made Of velvet, one Of
duvetyn and one Of brocade and fur.
Ingeniously draped velvet turbans
have been, and continue to be, great
favorites with women of conservative
and elegant taste. Such a turban ap-

keeper, and pursued her studies away
from school and classes. All through
her youth she was somewhat subdued
by \ very strict religious training, and
she was > great reader Of religious and
philosophical subjects, and in later
years wrote Of them also.
In 1871 the family moved to Coven-
try, and 1t was there that Miss Evans
made the acquaintance OF MIR. and Mrs.
Charles Bray and Mr.. Charles Hennell
who became her staunch friends.
In 1851 she became the assistant edi-
tor of the Westminster Review. She
made several notable contributions to
the Review and during the time of her
connection with 1t made the acqunint-
ance OF many distinguished authors OF
that period.
Miss Evans first attempted the writ
Ing of fiction In 1855, and published in
BlackwOOd's magazine the first Of the
SScencs Of Clerical Life" Although
she received much announcement from
private sources, notably Charles Dick
ems, tI'- critics were rather nOncOm-
initial. Then in 1859 Miss Evans wrote
and published what I'm the judgment OF
many In her masterpiece, "Adam Bede.'
1t has been said that in the character
of Adam Bede she drew n portrait OF
her father, and certainly "Dinah Nor.
ris,'' the heroine Of the story, was one
of her own favorite characters.

was far enough away from the noise

Men chatted Of crops and rents, and

regarding Dinah Morris Of Snowfield.
Mrs. Poyser's own niece, who had
turned "Methody" preacher and would
stand right before men on the village
green, talking to them of the comfort
they could find in their friend, Jesus

And, worse still, Dinah was so at
tractive and so gravely loving that the
men, and women too, gladly listened
to her. Big Adam Bede, the carpen-

Adam; Captain Arthur Donnithorne'
heir of the estate, had whispered too
many things in her pretty ear.
It was natural enough. There. In
her aunt's white dairy, rounding her
dimpled arm to lift a pound of butter
out of the scale, Hetty had the beauty
of a fluffy kitten. Her large dark eyes
had soft ROBUSTNESS, and her curly
hair, pushed away under her cap, stole
back in delicate rings on her forehead
OF course, the dashing captain had NO
foolish ideas about marriage, but them
as he bent over her shoulder, he was
soldier enough to feel his head turn
very fast. He had no wish to harm
her, you may be sure of that, for he
had great pride in the Donnithorne
estate, and it is pleasant for a rich
young man to be liked and admired.

in fine trees, and paused to look at a
