As this struggle progresses, writes a fash- lon correspondent, it may be that the entire social fabric will cease to rend itself .apart with personal and national arguments for and against people, in and out of power, institutions for the good of the cause, and the various phases of money expenditure that have arisen in the last year. : Anyone who goes about in various sectors of society—and by that is meant the grouping of people for all purposes, not alone gayety—begins to feel that the hate which is engendered on the battlefield has its reflection in the minds of those who are not in the struggle, except on the side-lines. A Civil war veteran says that this pitching of women into the piiblic arena, with its alleged bad effect on their tempers and temperaments, has nothing to do with the situation; that the Civil war engendered the same kind of personal animosities. Yet the Civil war—with all its tragedy, hate, death and sacrifice, which necessarily af- fected the personal lives of everyone in America more than this war has done—did not throw women together in groups of thousands. ; Is it odd, therefore, in this rather malevolent turn which émotions have taken during a year of war, that the question of entertaining our soldiers should be thrown into the arena’ of argument? Reason for Brilllant Costumery. Now we come to:-the question of fashions. It is not possible to separate clothes from this pecullar and em- phatic -situation which has -arisen through the conviction that the fight- ers must be entertained, going and coming. Whatever the government has asked women to do in the way of clothes they have done gladly, but that does not keep them from dressing well every day and night as they pass to and from one entertainment to an- other. » These gowns are far from expensive THE WEEKLY PIONEER news of the week.

Without trying to tell the food administration how to run its business (no one can do that) the recent deliverless mandate which has hit Bemidji is creating' no end of comment. Of course, H. E. Reynolds, county food- administrator, is not to blame, he merely following out the orders of the higher-ups, but the result in Bemidji is a tangled skein, nevertheless, and there are assertions made that all of Minnesota is not compelled to do likewise. Instances are cited, but that is another matter. But— . The order is hitting local business men right between the eyes and they are staggering under the added burden. In the first place, patrons of the stores are being weaned’ away to suburban and neighborhood stores, for the reason the carrying of packages is not so burdensome and many are unable to carry much of a load the distance required from the business district. And with the added burdens caused by the war, trade is slipping away on account of the non-delivery order. There is no change in prices. Nothing has been done to alieviate that. They remain the same and one merchant was frank to say so. He stands ready to make deliveries but is barred from so doing. Housewives cannot phone for orders. They cannot lug groceries, bundles and packages distances; no matter what the length, The big merchants, the big prop- erty owners of business property are “getting theirs,” and good and plenty, they assert, and they are not slow in voicing their opinions at what they term senseless, unjust and unwarranted action on the part of the food administration. ¥ 0 BEMIDJI LOSES A VALUED CITIZEN. The leaving of A. G. Wedge, vice-president of the First National bank of Bemidji, to make his home in Minneapolis, means that Bemidji has lost one of its most prominent citizens and one whose influence will be sadly missed. But there is consolation, however, that the transferring of his home to the Flour City will not mean the severance of business nor ties of friendship with Bemidji nor its people. " The First National bank is one of the big chain of Sheldon banks. Mr. Wedge has longebeen one of the most active in caring for their interests and his duties have taken him from Bemidji frequently, and for days at a time. It was his ability that caused his removal, to accept higher and more responsible duties, and his legion of friends will congratulate him, even though it takes from the city one of its cornerstones of business and enterprise. He will be in Bemidji frequently on business, and the family will come to visit old friends. It is another case of Bemidji ability being “drafted” for more important activities. who has money continues to spend it in going to her owh dressmaker and paying well for excellent cloth, good fitting and perfect finish ;- but the aver- age woman, even though she have money, has begun to find out all kinds of places where smart-looking clothes BRI T o RAISING THE ANTE. THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER in the mass. Of course, the individual |. Well, the price of flour is going to be raised in Washington anyway. When President Wilson vetoed $2.40 wheat he gave as a reason that it would entail an increase to American con- sumers in the price of flour aggregating-$387,000,000 annually, and he declared his belief that the farmers were too patriotic to ask for $2.40 wheat on that account. Now the food admin- istration plans to stick up the price to Washingtonians be- cause of “increased freight charges” over. our government- controlled railroads. If the price is raised in Washington it will in all probability be gradually extended to the whole country. oy 0. Well, we’ll rise to ask, wherein is it that the prices are cheaper on products usually delivered by merchants? Anybody able to answer that modest query? Or wasn’t that involved in the new ukase? 0. It does not matteir whether you carry gol? clubs or fishing rods or a camera on your vacation. The main thing is to get the vacation and forget your daily routine for the time being.
