STATES BAD DAYS
UNLIKELY TO RECUR
BANKERS, BUSINESS MEN ARE
BETTER PREPARED TO
STAND HARD TIMES

Bankers and business men of the
state are taking advantage of present
prosperity to prepare for the pos
sibility of future adverse conditions,
A. ]. Lochrie, state superintendent
of banks said at Helena recently. He
declared if such preeaution is not
taken the state will suffer again from
a depression similar to that which
prevailed for several years after 1920.
The superintendent returned to
Helena from an official visit to west
ern Montana, where he conferred with
bankers, and trip to Spokane to at
tend the state convention of the Wash
ington State Bankers association.

visited the state in several years."
Mr.. Lochrie said, "and the last three
years in particular have been pros
porous. Of great Importance is the
fact that the good conditions are
uniform throughout the state. When
ever I talk with a man from outside
the state, he invariably says, "Your

Much activity in agriculture, min
ing and numbering is in evidence in
the western portion of the state, the
superintendent said. He reported that

bles, they would add an irresistible
note of joy and charm sought by the
majority of women.
Years ago Dame Fashion used to be
a Campfire guardian, and 1t was al
ways a pleasure to put the long strings
of wooden beads around the neck, for
besides their beauty, they were full of
meaning. Every good thing In this
world is quite sure to travel onward,
and this summer It. is exceedingly
proper for any woman to place
string Of wooden beads around her
neck, not perhaps so much with the
memory of Campfire girl in her
mind, as going farther back. to print
tive dusky ..sun-tanned" maidens of
the woods and hills.
That little Industrious coral insect
is quite a Babe Ruth for having in
nings this summer. Not only is every
bit of coral jewelry good, whether you
have just bought it, or inherited If
from great-grandmother, but also
coral shades in millinery and scarfs
are excellent, while when it comes to
sports realms, coral stripes upon out
fits are as pretty as rose leis from
Hawaii.
OF late Dame Fashion has been
scolding about an article going the
rounds of the press, quoted from Lon
don, which declares that men are so
much more polite in shopping than
women, that men go In, ask for what
they want and buy it, while women are
harder to please and expect sales.
people to help them. This is about
like saying that more people are bit
ten by dogs than by lions-for there
are great many more dogs, and it is
impossible to make comparisons. So
doubtless there are at least ten wom-
en- to every man who are out shopping
and she has ten more chances to
make nuisance of herself.
Dame Fashion spends a good deal
of time each week in the shops-who

making up their minds-it looks more
as though they were genuinely proud
to do it, and the more minds they can
aid in being made up" in day the
better they like it. There is only one
bit of counsel that Dame Fashion has
observed with amusement to be rather
like treacherous gunpowder, and this
is the sound advice to "try our new
stouts!"

Buffet Set Made From
Discarded Flour Bags

Houses, like people, need to be we'll
groomed, and also, as with people. it's
often the little finishing touches that
give that smart and cared-for appear
anee.
The buffet set shown here, for ex-
ample, is a smart addition to any din
ing room. The present vogue is TO
have the top of sideboard arranged
simply with one of these sets, a pair
of candlesticks and a compete for
fruit in the center.
Simplicity is the keynote to these
buffet sets. Elaborate embroidery
work Is out of place on them. For
material, one can we'll use an empty
flour bag whose origin will never be
suspected when the work Is complet-
ed. The material is firm, closely
woven and durable. In most families,
these bags come into the home with
flour or one may get them from the
local baker for a few cents each. Re-
move the stamping by covering it with
lard or kerosene overnight and then
washing in warm water.
The size of the set will, of course,
depend on that of the buffet or side
board. One can choose between an
oblong centerpieee thanked by two
square cloths or a square one with
a smaller oblong each side.
For decoration, use q hemstitehed
edge and perhaps a border of colorful
cross-stitch. For blue dining room,
red and royal blue. the peasant eolors,
make most striking combination. II

Now that color has found its way
even to household linens, why not dye
the flour bags some attractive shade

after the set is completed, then thread,
lace and all are the same color.
