OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEDINGS : BEMIDJI IS ‘ALIVE: (Baudette: Region.) , =~ . - We have tossed a lot of sharp-cornered bricks in the direc- tion of Bemidji but after last Sunday when Depty Sheriff Cahill drove our suprised expression through that burg we are almost ready to take them back. First he showed us a couple of the biggest sawmills in the state, then a. big welding works, " a brewery that has reformed and has been converted into ‘a flour mill, several smaller industries, a new federal building, a ' peach of a library building, two elegant hotels, several new business blocks and” a Normal School being -built on the prettiest site in the state. 5 4 We will admit that James staked us to a fine flock of shocks, and we got an eyefull of one of the busiest little cities in the state. -Perhaps that bunch are blind when it comes to e seeing Baudette’s claims for county funds, but when it comes to thirty-third degree, one hundred and one per cent, dygd-m: __the-wool hutlers, you just' about have to pin the blue ribbon on them, ; i —_— —————— , - FEEL CHESTY HIRAM? " ‘And now Mr. Hoover announces that the U. S. can feed itself and the allies all through the winter. The food situation in Germany is reported to be bad: Report about Germany’s internal affairs are rarely depend+ able, but there is'no doubt about Hoover. : % : Our old friend Foch may feel some pride at the chain of recent victories which have wiped out half of Germany’s 1918 gains on the entire western front. But: the farmers have handed the Kaiser a heavier wallop than Foch. g In Indiana an agent of the bureau of crop-estimates lately saw a farmer driving six horses hitched to a disc plow and leading three drawing a harrow. He was doing work that would have employed a gang of men a short time ago. At big city theatres they like to bring down the final cur- " tain on a patriotic spectacle—Columbia’s Triumph—or some other symbolical conception. They would strike a truer note if they gave a spotlighted portrayal of that lone farmer with his team of nine. % —_—0 _ SCHOOL GROUNDS SHOW The grounds surrounding the High school and the Central building are already showing the result of a little attention and when the details of improvement are completed will be attractive, as they should be. One of the mysteries of the past| has been that the grounds of the High school, the chief seat of learning of the city of Bemidji, were never levelled after the completion of the building several years ago, but remained as when the building was finished. The Central school grounds, facing the principal avenue of the city, were also allowed to degenerate into grounds un- sightly and unkept. Now all is changed. They have been levelled and sowed to seed and are blossoming in green carpets, pleasing, and as other progressive communities surround their educational seats. MARKED IMPROVEMENT. o 5 HERE’S SUGGESTION FOR WEED SOLUTION. W. E. Dean is an enemy of unsightly and destructive weeds and he wants to see ’em routed out of Bemidji, as far as possible, and the time to do it is right now. Mr. Dean suggests that if 1,000 boys and men‘'would pull . 1,000 weeéds in 1,000 gardens and do so now there would be a marked scarcity of weeds in Bemidji yards and gardens. Figure it out for yourself and get busy.

Waistcoat, Cuirass and “Ornamental Blouses Are Among the Styles for Various Tastes. There are still women who wear sep- arate skirts and blouses without a pre- other. - There are still women who wear coat suits with white or colored blouses that end at the walstline and are Joined to the skirt under a leather belt It"may be' that this fashion will mnever die out, but the impulse toward medievalism in dress has continually acted against the division of the cos- together of two colors. The sttidents of dress and those who are in the higher strata of dressmak- ing, asserts a correspondent, have oh- served this medievalism for the last three years. They have preached it to women whose eyes did not see it, but sometimes the seeds of reform have fallen on stony ground. =, Women 'of middle age, who have gradually developed a thickened waist- line, are the ones who insist most upon the separate blouse which ends at the waist, and this is as it should not be. They are the ones who beyond cavil should cling to medievallsm in their clothes and wear the tunic, the skirt; the blouse that reaches to the hips. The small walst is taboo, and since |* it 1§ so, women should accept the fact their inartistic manner of dressing by saying that a white shirtwalst is so comfortable. But why should its com- fort be greater-when it is cut’off at the waist than when it is allowed to hang outside the skirt? If a jury had to decide on this ques- tion there would be no dissenting|’ voice. The artists of the world have always pleaded that- thick-walsted women wear-the kind of clothes that |* lengthen the line from the shoulder in- stead of shortening it and cutting the, figure in two, as though it were a plece of broken sculpture that had been badly put together. From the appearance of clothes this season it looks as though women are actually. beginning to see the advan- tages. of the separate outside blouse. It is sold by the shops, it is made by dressmakers and it is worn by women who have heretofore never allowed thelr thoughts to wander outside of the conventional blouse tucked in at the waistline and finished with a belt. There are waistcoat blouses to go under suits which give a straight lina from the collar bone down; there are | cuirass blouses that stretch from shoulder to hip in an attenuated line, with long, tight sleeves and roll-over collars; there are ornamental separate blouses, for young girls or those who have slim figures, which are cut in the shape of a peasant’s blouse and light- ly girdled at the walst.
