the shoulder is more popular.
Jacket effects, which proved so
widely popular this summer, are
again sponsored for Fall These are
not only shown in tweed covert
cloth and canton crepe, but also in
the dressier fabrics, being particu-
larly charming in transparent vel

georgette with cape or frill collars.
Skirts are circular, knife pleated
or box pleated,-if not the skirt it.
self, at least a fiounce or two tiers.
The one exception to the rule of
flat hips is the popular fared peplum
that is little more than a ruffle.
Belts and yokes are an excellent
means Of calling attention to the
raised waistline. The becoming large
collars and jabots are in high favor.
Transparent velvet and satin are
the leading fabrics for afternoon
dresses, satin taking the place which
panne velvet shares with transparent
velvet for evening wear.
Canton crepe IS the outstanding
favorite among Fall fabrics, being
used for dresses for all occasions. A
great many canton georgette dresses
are trimmed with velvet.
For tailored and sports wear,
dresses Of canton crepe printed in
tweed effect are arousing consider
able interest. Real tweeds are OF
course very good, as well as the
amazingly sheer wool georgettes
and novelty fabrics. Jersey is of re-
markably firm texture this year and
is particularly effective in belted
jumper dresses in striking zigzag
stripes or geometric figures copied
from the famous French fabrics OF
Rodier.
Eggshell is the most popular con-
trasting color used in trimming the
Fall dresses. Chartreuse green is
also used to trim black; the deeper
orange shade of capucine is combined
with brown, and bright independence
blue with navy. Wine and green are
two popular dress colors.

DENNIS PADRICK
WAS HOmESICk
FOR The OLD SOD
Made Illegal Entry Into u. S
To be Deported to
Ireland

Deportation may have its terrors
to many people of foreign birth who
come to this country to seek their
fortune, but not so in the case of Din
mis- Patrick OKeefe, recently from
Belfast, Ireland, who last week ar
rived in town, looked up chief Of po-
lice Oscar Collins, and told him that
he had crossed the Canadian border
and was under the impression that
he might have done wrong in doing
so.
Dennis, a lad about twenty years
of age, was tired, hungry, discour-
aged, and very very homesick. He
admitted it. He stated that he had
come over from Belfast to Quebec
last spring in the firm belief that the
world was good to theIrish and there
was ample opportunity for all.
His experience did not bear out
the belief. From the time he landed
last May, until last Friday, when he
came to Plentywood, he had put ir
less than two weeks of work. He
stated that he had left Ceylon, Sask.
that morning and had walked the
entire distance to Plentywood.
He was turned over to Immigra-
tion officials who took him to Great
Falls, from where he will be taken to
Canada. Later, it is more than prob
able, he will be sent back to Ireland
He was a bright, fine appearing
young man, of a type this country
could very we'll afford to welcome.

Raking Them In
AS In Bygone Days

The Plentywood vicinity at present
is the exploitation field of bevy OF
organizers working in the interest OF
the American Temperance League
the new activity of the now defunct
Communist party of Sheridan Coun-

The work is being intensively
pushed under the direction of A. C,
Townley, the corps of workers being
strangers to these parts, for the
most part men who have been iden-
titled with the Nonpartisan League.
in North Dakota and Minnesota.
The procedure now employed by
the organizers, according to several
who have been approached by them,
involves the securing of subscrip-
tions to the official publication of
the League and the solicitation of
whatever donations those in sympa-
thy with the cause may see fit to
give.

tory Now Lieing Far
From Railway

st. Paul, Aug. 1O.-Application
was filed by the Great Northern
railway company today for permi-
ssion to extend its recently proposed
32-mile Richey- Hamblin line in Mon
tana westward an additional 70
miles to Jordan, which is only $50
miles east of Lewistown. This
would make the extension 105 miles
in length. 1t would cost S3,0O0,0O0
and be the longest piece of new con-
struction undertaken by any rail-
road in the northwest since before
the world war.
The plans for the new line were
filed with the interstate commerce
commission today in the form of an
application to ammend the original
Richey extension proposal filed July
26. If the new project is approved
by the commerce commission the
Great Northern will be able to COM
plete nearly half of the secondary
cross-state line through Montana
which James j. Hill planned years
ago as a part of his s6-called New
Rockford -Lewistown cutoff. This
project of the "empire builder" con-
templated originally line from
New Rockford, N. D., across central
Montana to connect with the Great
Northern line at Lewistown and was
to be built as traffic warranted

to Richey, Montana. This branch con-

Harvest Now In Full
Swing---Yields Light

Harvesting is now in full swing
with prospects of being completed
by about September first.
The work is being done by com
blnes IN a majority of cases although
binders are still actively in use. The
yields thus far reported are all light
ranging for the most part from five
to eight bushels per acre, although
in few isolated cases yields of
eighteen and twenty-five bushels per
acre have been reported.
The grain for the most part is of
splendid color and good weight with
better than average protein test.
Oats, flax and other small grain
have been unusually hard hit by the
excessive heat and the drought
with its results far from encourag-
ing.

CLENDIVE c. c.
TAKES UP HIGH
PRICE GAS ISSUE
Wish To Know Why Monta-
ma Gas Prices Are High
est in Country
National Survey of Retail
Prices Show Wide
Range

The Glendive Chamber of Com
merce has initiated general move
ment to reduce gasoline prices IN
this territory.
Following several months study
of the subject, the local organlza-
tion has, during the past week,
launched campaign DESIGNED to
coordinate the efforts Of Chanlbcss
of Commerce in Idaho and Montana.
These two states have the highest re-
retail prices in the nation.
Communication have been dis
patched to the Idaho State Chamber
of Commerce and to local organza-
tions in Montana. The subject has
also been covered in correspondence
with the Montana Automobile Asso-
ciation
The last national survey Of retail
gasoline prices showed a wide range
in the various states. Exclusive of
the Sthte Highway Tax Rates, the
retail price of gasoline varied by
nearly fifty per cent. between Mon
tana and some of the more favored
states, such as Colorado and Mime
sofa.
A casual study of the subject indi-
Gates that this condition results from
number of factors.
A wide disparity exists in the le-
gitimate freight charges collected by
rail carriers for delivery in Montana
and neighboring states. This re-
suits in part. from the difference in
freight schedules established by the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
There is also believed to exist
trade agreement among the produc-
ers, refners and distributors, where
by an arbitrary freight charge is
made from a single point, dominant
in the refining industry. This charge
is levied, irrespective of the produe-
tion of local refineres.
These two factors freight rates
and the trade agreement account
for most of the excessive price pre-
vailing in Montana. The Gasoline
tax of 5 c, collected for highway
purposes, is an aggravating factor
under the existing conditions. Were
the base price in Montana on a par
ity with that in other states, the SC
/ highway tax would not be seriously
regarded.
Local business interests are SER
/ iously affected by the wide range
in gasoline prices, as between Glen
dive and neighboring points to the
East. Throughout the current season,
gasoline has sold at Beach, North
Dakota, for approximately G1ac per
gallon less than the local price. Only
two cents of this difference is repre-
sented by the variance in State High
way Tax Rates.
The effect on business has been
equally serious in other parts Of
Montana and Idaho. 1t is estimated
that many thousands of tourists
have avoided these states because Of
this condition.
The local Chamber of Commerce
recognizes and fully appreciates the
difficulty Of adjusting the several
factors supporting the existing price
of gasoline. The organization be-
lieves, however, that united action
by the press and the civic organiza-
tions throughout Montana and Ida
no will bring about a marked meas
ure of relief, and result in stimulat-
ed business in the two states most
affected.
