Sentiments Of Group of Citizens
at Meeting Saturday

Four resolutions regarding legis-
lative measures were passed at the
meeting called for last Saturday af-
ternoon and held at that time in the
court room Of the courthouse. The
meeting was heldupon the request of
Senator-elect R. C. Sletten and Rep
resentative Henming S. Nelson. The
resolutions involved:
Prohibition and it's enforcement.
Rural Credits.
Trunk Highway Bond Issue.
Gasoline Tax.
The meeting was attended by a
fairly good sized gathering. Discus
sion was free and interesting. Sena-
tor Sletten was the choice of the
meeting as chairman, and C. 0. Berg
quist, county chairman of the Non
partisan League, secretary.
The first matter which came up for
discussion was that Of the 18th am
endment and it's enforcement. The
sentiment seemed in favor Of drastic
enforcement of the amendment. Rep
resentative Larson of Swift County
urged improvement of the arm of the
law in seeing that the law is respect
ed and that violations are held in
check as much as possible. The meet.
ing went on record by vote in favor
of the most drastic enforcement OF
the 18th amendment.
The second topic for discussion was
that Of rural credits. This timely sub.
ject was ably discussed by Messrs. P
H. Frye, j. B. Bosch, R. c. Sletten
P. B. Hong, A. o. Nelson, H. S. Mel
son and Wm.> Mackenzie. Those pres
ent finally voted that the matter be
left to the legislature to work out {
system of rural credits and to pu
this system into effect at the earlies
possible date. Rep. Larson mention
ed the South Dakota rural credit.
system and suggested a plan similar
in nature or an improved type.
Mr.. Babcock's proposal for a ter
million dollar bond issue for th'
Trunk Highway fund did not NEE
with the approval of the meeting
Those present voted unanimously ag
ainst any such bond issue.
The gasoline tax which is now be
ing quite roundly discussed also wa
declared against and a vote take1
disappearing of such legislativ
measure.

REST HOSPITAL TO
F. MOVE VI QUARTERS ]
Rest Hospital to Move to More Con.
venieni Location in Same Build
ing With Offices

The Rest Hospital will soon be To-
Gated in @the building where the Of
fees are low. This. will make itsmore
convenient for both the doctors and
patients. The Rest Hospital was
built by DR.. Benson nearly five years
ago on Fifth Street and has been
used as a hospital since that time.
The Union Clinic bought the build
ing, now used as Offices and private
apartments, several years ago and
are now making extensive improve
ments in order to utilize the building
both for offices and for a hospital.
The convenience of<city heat and hav-
ing the Offices and hospital together
with the many appliances that are
now installed there made he~change
advisable. The doctors feel that with
their office and hospital located in the
same building they will be better
able to take care of their cases and
give better service to the public.
The hospital will be located on the
second and third floors of the. build
ing while the basement will be con-
verted into a sanitary laundry and
rooms to store supplies. In year or
so when more room is needed the
Clinic will build onto the third story.
A staff of five nurses will be en-
ployed besides the. Office assistants.
The building is now being remodel
ed and redecorated and when com
pleted- will present a very pleasing
appearance. It is expected that the
work will be. done and the hospital
ready for occupancy by January ! st.
AS the doctors are at the Office they
will be able to keep closer watch
of their patients and as the x-ray
machine and other necessary things
are located in the Clinic now the pa
tients can be taken care of more con
veniently without transporting the
patient several blocks as formerly
was the case.

PRETTY FOR SUMMER FROCKS
Embroidered MedaIIions, Decorative
Feature, Enchance the Beauty of
Miladys Skirt.

Pretty little embroidered medallions
are to be used on frecks this summer.
One finds them mostly with little frills
of the material gathered or pleated
about them, and the material itself
forming the base of the pretty thing.
Upon the material is an embroidered
motif, preferably by hand. When a
frill is not used for frame the me-
dalton can have a binding of material
in contrasting color, possibly color
to match the color Of the embroidery.
The medallions are used principally
upon frock skirts. Picture for -ex-
ample, a yellow and white gingham in
the tiniest checks ornamented with
oval medallions, frilled, having in the
center tiny baskets Of flowers cross
stitched in black.

INDIA'S RIGID CASTE SYSTEM
Centuries, Are Given Most I'M
pllcit Obedience.

The religious laws of Brahmanism
divide the Hindu people in India into
four principal hereditary classes or
castes-the Brahmanss (priests),
Kshatiyas (rulers and warriors),
vasiayas, merchants and husband
men), and Sudras mechanics, laborers
or servants), the first three being
known as "twiceborn' and the last
as "once-bOrn." These original four
castles, however, have become to
great extent sub-divided - the
men being known by their work
or trades, as the "caste" of shoe
makers and the "caste" of sweepers-
so that nowadays the Brahmans alone
are said to remain as a distinct caste.
Aside from all these are the Pariahs
Cor outcasts) who have no caste. Ac-
cording to the CyclOpedia of India,
1.-THE effect Of the caste system Is
that no man may lawfully eat with
any individual of any other caste, or
partake Of food cooked by him, or
marry into another caste family; but
he may be his friend, his master, his
servant, his partner"

Mathie on the Wet and Dry
Issue.

Wausau, Wis. Speaking at Apple
ton Saturday night before a gather
ing of Democrats at the Sherman
Hotel, Karl Mathie, Democratic can
didate for Governor explained his
position on the wet and dry fight.
"The Democrat party, in its con-
ference at Milwaukee, did just what
all the other parties and factions
did and that was to adopt strong
law enforcement plank" said Mr.
Mathie. But it went farther and
said that if any changes are needed
they should be brought about in
proper and legal manner In order
that the people of Wisconsin may ex-
press their sentiment thereon, we ia
vor the submission of such changes
to all the people of Wisconsin by the
legislature at Referendum. to be
held at the Spring election in 1929.
In taking this position the Dem
| ocratic party has done a public SER
vice, for it promises, if in power, to
provide a way for the people to ex-
press themselves on the liquor ques-
ton, at the ballot box. Law enforce
ment is impossible unless you have
public opinion to support it, By
referendum we can find out whether
Wisconsin wants the 18th Amend
| ment repealed, modified, or left as it
is. Having found this out, proper and
legal steps should be taken accord
ingly by the party in power. There
! is something more fundamental than
| the liquor question and that is the
| right of the people to express it's will
| at the polls. Unless it can exercise
| that right democracy is gone. I be-
lieve in law enforcement and 1 be-
lieve in the dry law, but am first of
all Democrat. The non-enforce-
| ment of our laws is serious men
| ace to the republic. Laws should
have public backing. Therefore,
should the coming legislature pro-
vide a referendum, shall sign the
bill if I am Governor, and shall
carry out the wishes of the people as
expressed in the referendum"
II believe, however, that the peo-
pie will vote to give the present law
fair trial and if they so vote it
will be much easier to support the
| law since public opinion is back of
| it,.
Mr. Mathie also expressed his re-
gret that the racial issue had been
dragged into this campaign, saying
that it was likely to become more
serious than was that of the "bloody
Shirt bequeathed to us by the Civil
War. This did not die out until we
got into the Spanish War.

ANCIENT CAPITAL OF JAPAN
Nara, Rich in Artistic Treasures, Was
Once Classic Center Of Shinto
Worship.

Nara, ancient Japanese city, Is a
classic center of Shinto worship, and
was the first capital of Japan. Much
of the building and identifying begun
in A. D. 700, the Golden Age of
Japan" still is intact.
During the early days of Nara pros
perity, the Todaiji, one of the seven
great temples, was the head Of Bud
dhism in Japan, and the buildings COW
cred some 90 acres
OF all its glories there today re-
main but few, chief among them be-
ing the Great South Gate, Nandai
Mon; the great Hall of Buddha, and
the ancient and most interesting old
shrine called Kaidan-in. The Great
South Gate was built in 752 A. D. and
remodeled in 1199. On either side are
two gigantic figures of Mo, or the
Deva kings, carved by Tankei and his
pupil Unkei. With the two stone
lions close by, excellent specimens Of
Twelfth century Chinese sculpture,
they are listed and protected as ma
tional Treasures"
The Observation-Disclosures, the vast
bronze Buddha cast in TAO A. D., Is
the largest of the kind in Japan, If
not in the world, being 521a feet In
height.
The Kaidan-in is remarkable for it's
unusual construction and arrange
ment inside-a series of platforms riS-
ing one above the other to support the
Brahma, which are said to be among
the best examples of the art of Nara
era, also are counted among the "Na-
tional Treasures"

AGREE ON SKIRTS
Paris Artists Say Near Ankle
Length Is Correct.
Designers Vote for Moderately Full
Garment Which Permits View
of the Ankles.

at the races we have seen the "War
OF Skirts" illustrated, writes q Paris
fashion correspondent in the Boston
Globe. Skirts of all lengths and al
most all widths have been worn, and
by the smartest women. A really
serious protest has been made In
Paris, and in London, against long
walking skirts which would be GER
tain to catch up dust or mud.
When the Paris designers say full
ankle length" they describe a skirt
which comes very near the ground in
deed. In fact, it sweeps the ground
when one steps off footpath into the
street.
In London the protest has taken
serious form. All the best-known ar
tists-painters, black and white de-
signers, etc., have joined in the battle
and it is little difficult to see what
the end will be.
In Paris, the leading dressmakers
simply smile. They say "long skirts
will be worn in Paris-therefOre, they
will surely be worn all over the world
by fashionable women"
I must say that from personal OBJ
servation at the most fashionable race
meetings that the moderately short
skirt-and by that I mean one which
clears the ankles-is much more be-
coming to the average woman than
the dress which almost hides the feet.
