nEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
~ The other day a question
arose in our office, whether or not
it) is proper for a bride-to-be to
outfit her maid of honor, provid-
ing she is financially able to do
so. Some say it is proper, and
others say it is done for show.
Will you kindly tell me which
is correct? J. NJ. N.
1t is not customary for the
bride -to-be to furnish the outfit of
her attendants. 1t is proper for
her to do so, If she wishes to do
so, but it is very rarely done, even
by a bride who is financially able
to do it. Brides of great wealth
sometimes do it II understand that
Miss Ailsa Mellon, the daughter Of
our Secretary of the Treasury,
supplied the costumes of her at
tendantS), but usually they plan
to supply only one detail OF the
costume, usually the hat.
There is no reason why one
should accuse the bride of doing
this "for show" l think that
this is unnecessarily unkind, for
the brides that | have known who
supplied the costumes Of their at
PENDANTS have done it with a sim
cere and most kind wish to make
it as easy as possible for their
friends to act as their attendants.
You see, often it is great sacrifice
for a girl. who is not overly en1ow-
ed with money, to buy an expensive
costume, and the rich bride who
is kind and generous will see that
it is made easy for her. But this
kindness should not be misinter-
preted as being Of shoW-ott
nature.

Sank Centre was defeated by Glen

1916 score. The Sank Centre boys
seemed unable to get the hang of
things in the hilly city. In only one
quarter did they show what they real
ly could do. The first quarter was
the slowest of the game, Sank Cen

ended 1912. Between quarters, jan
ecke was substituted for Cliff and
Miller for Hines. This seemed to
speed things up for the quarter and
the half ended 1875.
The second half started the same
as the first quarter, ten points being
scored in the quarter. Todd and Err
gins were the big scorers for Glen
wood. Both of these men were in
eligible up to this game, thus their
addition to the Glenwood team will
make them very strong contenders
for the district.
The substitutes were given a

ENTITLED TO PRAISE
The Northern Minnesota Editorial
Association, which is the largest as
ISOLATION Of newspaper publishers OF
citation, met at Sank Centre Friday
and Saturday of last week and en-
joyed a very pleasant and profitable
meeting.
A visit to the Home School for Girls
Friday, noon was of special interest.
Not only was a most splendid luncheon
enjoyed but the editors were given an
opportunity to meet Mrs. Mary Stew
art, the superintendent of the insti-
tuition, and from her learn what is be-
ing done for the girls brought here
They were impressed with the fact that
Mrs. Stewart is very able superin-
fendent and that great deal of good
is being accomplished at the Sank
Centre institution.
Friday evening the editors were en-
tertained at banquet given by the
Sank Centre Community Club at which
members of the club were also present.
A very fine pike dinner was served by
the ladies of the Irish Catholic church
and the speaking program which fol-
lowed had Governor Theodore Christ
hanson and Larry Ho" Hodgson, form
er mayor of St. Paul, as headliners.

the praise which was unanimously ex-
pressed by the editors on the fine re-
ception they were accorded and the

ed during the Observation-Disclosures

PRESIDENT COI-IEN
The annual winter meeting. of the
citation was held at Main Street,
otherwise known as Sank Centre, Fri
day and Saturday of last week and
from standpoint of attendance as well
as that Of good programs was one OF
the most successful ever held in the
history of the association.
The high light of the convention
was a banquet served at the Com
munity Club rooms by the Sank Gen.
tire Community club. The club en-
gagged the ladies of the Irish Catholic
church to prepare pike dinner and 1t
was certainly all that good dinner
should be.
Asa NJ Wallace was toastmaster for
the occasion and it is safe to say that
there isn't man in the state who is
better fitted for the job. He knows
| his stuff. Roars of laughter followed
| his every sally. Mayor Parker once
more welcomed the crowd and nee
more Rudolph Lee responded.

Midnight Sun to Be
Seen OnIv ~ (,r,r.

The midnight sun Is visible within
the Arctic circle at and near mid
summer. The sun is then observed to
skirt the horizon without dipping be-
low 1t. This results from the incli-
nation Of the earth's axis to the plane
OF Its orbit. The elevation of the pole
at any given spot Is equal to the lati-
tude OF that spot; and the suns polar
distance on midsummer day being
66h degrees, the sun can barely Craze
the horizon. Still further north the
midnight sun Is observed for some
days before and after midsummer:
and at the pole itself day OF six
months begins at the spring equinox,
the sun circling at first round the rim
Of the horizon, then in gradually more
elevated circles parallel to it. At the
North cape, latitude 73N degrees
north, the midnight sun is visible from
May 12 to July %. At no place In
England has the sun been visible ut
midnight.

carried the state by $4,000, but was
defeated for election, it is charged,
by manipulation and corruption in

In one polling booth Of the 34th
ward of that city the returns gave
Wilson no votes. The tally sheet gave
him 35. In another polling booth Of
the same ward the returns gave him
one vote, but the tally sheet shows Al.
Under the state law a cross oppo-
site Wilson's name on an otherwise

counted for him. This provision was

UNION FOES
Repulsed By Chicago Build
ing Craftsmen

Chicago.-The Lands award, that
the anti-union citizens committee has
for several years attempted to force
on organized building craftsmen, has
been given its death blow.
Through an agreement with the
Building Construction Employers As
sociation and the Building Trades
Council, the leading contractors of
this city have pledged to employ only
trade unionists.
The citizens committee, backed by
powerful interests, tried to block the
agreement, and used bulldozing tao
tics to induce contractors to adhere
to the Lands award.
"The bankers, particularly the mort
gage bankers, threatened contractors
with financial boycott unless they
adhered to mandates of the citizens
committee" said the Federation News,
published by the Chicago Federation
of Labor.
"Such propaganda had its effect.
Unskiiled workers were rounded up
to fill the places of union mechanics.
This proved costly investment, as
the imported men were less skilled and
less reliable than men whose homes
were here. Gradually the contractors
began to break from the citizens COM
mittee. A number of successful
strikes were called in the Loop dis
trict against large contractors who
operated under the Lands plan. From
that time the fate of the citizens
committee was sealed"
