Beauty as a Club Topic,

In former generation the average
woman's club confined itself to studies
of literature, ancient history. art and
other thoroughly genteel subjects that
are far removed from the passing
concerns of everyday life. Nowadays,
however, topics of current interest
fill the clubwoman's programs to a
large extent.
One of the topics that has of recent
years become popular is the individ-
uals problem of making the most of
herself physically as well as mentally
by cultivating correct habits of eating,
exercise and rest. From members of

and to cut his remarks very short.
Having no opposition from Mr.. On
stad, who was County Attorney, when
Mr.. Stewart formerly operated in
Plentywood and Mr.. Bennett, who was
Sheriff and Mr.. Wagner, who was
Mayor, Mr.. Stewart resumed his seat
and most of those present seemed to
concur in the opinion that he should
continue in the future as he had in
the past.
Howard Lewis Fence Questioned
At this point Hans Rasmussen
wanted to know whether the high
board fence referred to was Howard
Lewis's fence or the one around the
stockyards. There was much discus

not seem to think that he was manu-

and customers were lined up against
the wall while the highwaymen SCOOP

went in a southerly direction as if

was at once reported to the sheriffs
of Daniels and Roosevelt counties and

so far the search for the robbers has
been unavailing.
Migratory Workers Held Up
The following story by the Tribune
correspondent throws further light on
the subject:
Two migratory farm workers were
held up yesterday afternoon about
five miles west of Flaxville, Daniels
county, and relieved of their fall
earnings presumably by the same five
who held up bank of Flaxville where
they secured a short time before about
thirteen thousand, or all cash in bank.
Two men, Gust Fasse and Lou Pitch
SOW of Hot Springs, South Dakota,
and Crosby, North Dakota, respec-
lively, were returning to their homes
in North and South Dakota from
Peerless or on the Crandon Bros
farm about twnety miles north of

big black Hudson car stalled on the
road. There were four men and two
girls outside of car and one man al

Ford in which farm hands were
