v- I, II PA PnnP PINEWOOD'S STATE BANK WILL OPEN IN NEAR FUTURE Census Enumerators Are Named for Townships in Clearwater County (Special to The Pioneer.) Clearbrook, Dec. 27.Clearbrook observed Christmas in a very quiet and ibecoming manner. The new home of Mr. Sheets, his family and "The Leader" in the last week's issue of "The Leader" is a compliment of good business and thrift, worthy of the support of ev ery booster for good and clean gov ernment from the bottom up. Harry Wedger, who resides Just southeast of town, has announced that he is ready to grind feed for all comers. Oully and Gonvick are happy over the anticipations and sweet indulg ence in oil stations in the near fut ure. May the good work prosper and go on, ever and ever. Pinewood, the second station east from Clearbrook, will" be graced with a bank in the near future, which will be known as the People's and State Bank of Pinewood. Ebro, a station on the Great Northern railway, just west of Bagley, will also be honored with a state bank in the near future. Ebro has recently been -made a freight division point, and expects soon to flash into prominence as a first class city, and may even rival with Bagley for the county seat, which is supposed to be located at latter point. We are not in a posi tion at present to give the names of the ibackers in the two aforesaid in stitutions. S. H. Larmer took a flying trip up to Moose Jaw, in Canada, last week, returning Friday morning.

ADDS TO WORK-BASKET LID Convenience Provides Place for Vari ous Articles Needed by Woman Who Sews. The sketch shows a good and useful way of fitting up the lid of a work basket. Any shape or size can be treated in this manner. To carry out the suggestion, cut a piece of stiff card to fit the lid of the basket in the way shown, and cover it with pale pink satin or sateen or some other color if preferred. Across the tipper part a band of broad elastic is sewn down at intervals, so that it Useful Addition to Work-Basket. forms a number of small loops, into which scissors, bodkins, packets of needles, etc., can be slipped and held in place. Across the lower part a pocket is sewn on, also made of sateen and gathered into a tiny frill at the edge. When complete, this article can be easily fastened in position on the in ner "ide of the lid of the work-basket, with a few stitches run through the corners and in and out of the wicker work. SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 27, 1919 THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER With the beginning of the season salts and dresses were presented in a variety of silhouettes, and now that the midseason is here, the public has declared Its preference. Wide-hip, crin oline and peg-top outlines captured and held their devotees, but a high percentage of well-dressed people pinned their faith to lines almost un broken in suits, in dresses, and more particularly in evening gowns. No new aspirant has disturbed the stabil ity of the straight-line suit, and now that manufacturers have tested out the public, that is the one thing they are entirely sure of. Therefore such new suits as they are turning out for present sale are variations of the straight-line models. "Straight line" is not to be taken too literally. It means a silhouette having little definition at the waist line. Such as there is results from belts and girdles and not from fitting. The two suits shown in the picture il lustrate this point very clearly, and also bring out the introduction of new features that vary the style and make the suits interesting. There are at least two advantages in models of this kindthe style may be worn for a JET POPULAR AS TRIMMING Decoration Used in Flat Binding In Novel Designs, in Fringes and in Other Characters. Some frocks are showing a great deal of ornamentation. There Is much beading to be seen in various forms, the trail of hand embroidery is found in the land of fashion, and other forms of artistic decoration. Yes, trimmings are here, and yet so harmonious and logical are most of them that we are scarcely aware they belong to that one-time overornate and lugubrious thingtrimmings. Jet has a stellar role to play. We find jet in flat banding, la novel de signs, In fringes and other characters. Pearl trimmings are lovely now on evening gowns, and jet or pearl strands for shoulder straps are the mode for these formal costumes. But the trimming of all trimmings is the one that is well selected for the style of frock It is to decorateIt should at all times make the frock more Individual, without detracting from its silnpllcityand when artis tically applied it often spells the en tire charm of the costume. Gordon Wasn't Worried. Mother asked Gordon to keep the baby quiet while she hurried to the grocery. Soon after she left the baby began to cry and Gordon gave her his watch to play with. When mother re turned she was horrified to see baby putting the watch in her mouth. "Good gracious!" she exclaimed, as she seized the watch. "Why did you give it to baby she might have swal lowed it." "I was holdin' the chain," explained Gordon, "so it couldn't go far. But even If she did swaller it I wouldn't care very much, 'cause pa has promised me a better one." What He Got for His Dollar. "Ever answer any of those coal saving advertisements?" "Answered 'em all, I guess. But 1 only got one recipe that had any merit." "What was that 7" "It read: 'Coal may be made to last longer by keeping it away from the stoves and .furnace.'"Boston Tran script. Sure Thing. "I'll bet," said Mr. Growcher, "the government would have all the money it needs in a hundred years If the conscience fund could get hold of all that's coming to it" long time, it will pass out slowly and admits of a great variety of decora' tions. In the suit at the left of the picture under-arm tacks and buttons appear in an original and attractive arrange ment with lines running horizontally on the body of the coat and lengthwise below the belt. The coat opens over a vest and the cloth belt fastens through a buckle at the front There is a small choker collar of far. In^fhe figure at the right many bat tons in two sizes and an original cat of the back of the body assume the responsibility of distinguishing this sujt ,_ftom its predecessors. A very long* and narrow sash of the material slips twice about the waist and loops over at the left side. A wide turnover collar fastens up snugly about the throat. The skirts are both plain, one of them a trifle longer than the other. The length of skirts is very much a matter of individual taste at present from six to nine inches off the floor. *4 $t&r>* SNAP FASTENERS ON UNDIES Handy Contrivance Aids in Transfer. ring Lingerie Straps From One Garment to Another. Lingerie straps, which can be trans ferred from one undle to another by simply unsnapplng the snap fasteners are dainty things to give and handy things to have. You might make them of batiste and trim them with fine cross-stitching In pastel colors. You might hemstitch them in colors, or you might button hole the edges. Then you might make them of satin white washable satin preferably. These are very attractive when they are trimmed with small chiffon flow ers just where they are snapped to the garment. Ribbon may also be used. French knots In pastel colors or small embroi dered dots will lend themselves very successfully as means of trimming these straps. The homeliest camisole or teddy bear may be made attractive by an at tractive pair of shoulder straps. They are a distinct convenience, for they are held securely in place and will not necessitate such inconvenience as re moving one's clothes to refasten, as one has to do when one's sewed-on shoulder strap has dropped Its stitches on one end. PUTTING HER RIGHT. Mrs. JustwedYou say you and Mr. Knagg have been married four years and never had a quarrel until now? Mrs. KnaggYou got me wrong, dearie. I said we'd never had but one quarrel, and it's lasted till now. THE WAY OF IT. DaughterWill will be a good son-in-law to you, pa. He is making plans to help you bear the loss of your child.
