Plain tailored suits we have had in plenty, but the extreme pocketless plainness of this model and its length sets it apart. The skirt was plain and rather narrow and the Chi- nése ‘blouse of blue and black was held with a cord girdle finished with a huge tassel.

Wl——-———‘———'—'— OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS —— OPEN THE RESERVATION. (Duluth News: Tribune.) Red Lake Indian reservation pretty nearly surrounds Red Lake, one of the largest lakes of Minnesota. It is, we believe, the largest body of Indian lands left in the state. It is included in the northern part of Clearwater and the central part of Bel- tramies counties. - 5 WARM COAT FOR MOTORING The Clearbrook, Clearwater county, Leader suggests that S A S : ; a part at least of this large land area should be opened to home- OUR COKE IS ‘THE CLEANEST AND stead by the returning soldiers and sailors. It contains a goodly HOTTEST FUEL‘ i: R filN ABLE portion of fine agricultural land. In recent years a considerable part has been drained. There is a-lot of merit in this proposal. The rights of the Indians should of course be protected. But the time is near; if not here, when they should take their allotments; leaving the rest to settlement and improvement, the first choice going to the Indians and a fair fund set aside as payment for the rest, to establish them on farms. The available land should be put to productive use. ol To put its returning soldiers on the land is a fixed policy of the government. It was the origin of the homestead law af- ter the Civil war. Every soldier or sailor who wants land should have the way made easy for him to get it. Not only this, but he should have help to establish himself as an independent producer. . This means help to get a home, stock and machinery, so that at once he can contribute his share to the country’s wealth. He should not have to isolate himself, nor face nearly cer- tain failure, nor live as self-respecting men will not live today because they do not have to, but he should be given a freeman’s start. Only industry is then needed to assure success. So much the country owes to its soldiers and sailors; so much it also owes to itself. It is not charity to help the whole country. It is but reciprocal business sense. 0 THE PLACE FOR A ROAD TO BEMIDJI.
