Mr.. Joseph Hooking, Of the Wis.

ing severely and confined to bis
room for the past two weeks with
an organic ailment that causes him
much pain and annoyance.
The tax payers of the county
have no reason to complain Of the
members Of the county board for
extravaganza in the cost of printing
this year, as they have been able by
private contract to get $500 worth Of
work done for 1925, and yet it was
suggested that the work be let to
the lowest bidderl There could
reasonably have been but one bid
lower, and that would have been
gratis. The printers bills have no
mileage nor chicken-pie in them

light that was witnessed south of

THANK SEWING.

ne Goou ola laShloueu New Eng
land Thanksgiving festival has once
more marked the rounding of an.
other year 1t was observed in city
and hamlet throughout the United
States. The proclamatious of the
| President aud Of the Governors Of
the different states were scarcely
necessary to insure the observance
of this homeliest and kindest of our
national holidays. But while not
necessary, the proclamations add
significance. The day is one of
good cheer and gratitude to the
All Giyer, and is ESPECIALLY day of
family reunions and the pleasures
of the treside and home circle. BY
Q coincidence that is striking, but
can not be regarded as wholly uuin-
tentional, Thanksgiving Day comes
at the close not only of the harvest
season when all the crops and fruits
are gathered and cellars, barns and
granaries overflow, but also towards
the close of the Christian year, and
thus there Is a double reason in all
well-ordered lives for gratitude to
"Our Father God from out whose hand
The centuries fall like grains OF sand"
Observing and thankful people
were as numerous in Mineral Point
as anywhere, which the union SER
vices at ths Il. NJ. church most pos
itively proved. The attendance
was large, the knights of Pythjas
were out in uniform, and Rev. Nc.
Manus' sermon was mAsterly nd
well received. Aside from the ser
vices of song, praise aud prayer
was the donation feature, one new
and sensible. The farmers brought
grain, vegetables and meats; mer-
chants donated flour, groceries aud
other substantials, and citizens in
general were liberal with their cash.
The gifts were so arranged in the
church as to make a grand display,
aud many realized to the full how
blessed it is to give. Many are the
homes made happier and more com.
fo. able in consequence of this
grand spirit of benevolence, which
we are proud to say, by the way,
abounds in Mineral Poa, to as
great an extent as in any comma
nifty.
WIN. MAUGER is determined that
his stock of watches, clocks, jew
elry, silverware, etc, shall prove
equal to the finest to be procured
anywhere, and that his prices will
compare equally as favorable. Call
and examine, please. 45-2w

hour of noon last Saturday as two

a Mr.. Newberry, the protector, is

proposes to cultivate the elephant
for its meat and its capacity for
hard and diversified work. He says
that ''as an article of food the ele-

most people will be willing to &C.

approaching its force. He says
that behind tough exterior it hides
a tender steak, and that African
explorers are profuse in their praise
Of elephant outlets. A full grown
elephant weighs about 1000 pounds
and Mr.. Newberry counts 5000 of
this as good meat.

While nineteen or twenty inch
waist is a deformity in an adult
woman, it may justly be doubted
whether the twenty six inch waist
of the Venus de Medici is not
somewhat too large to be in pro-
portion with the figure of the aver.
age American woman. 1t is char
acterlstic of women OF the highest
types of the Indo-European races
to have wide hips and narrow
waists. In other races the hips
are narrower and the waists larger.
The American woman appears, in
consequent of her large hip meas
urement, to have a smaller waist
than she actually has. To the un-
skilled masculine eye girl with q
waiste of twenty-five or twenty two
and a half inches may seem to
have wasp-like figure, when in
reality her measurement is very
nearly what it should be to satisfy
the critical judgment of an artist or
her family physician.
The Venus de Medlci is 5 feet
inches in hight, 26 inches about
the waist, 81 inches about the bust
and A about the hips. The
women employed as "cloak mod
els" by most of the dry goods es-
tablishments in New York City
are of about the same hight. The
measurement required of a "mod
el'' 5 feet 5 inches in hight in one
establishment are as following:
Waist, % IL TO "a inches; bust,
"a to 35; hips, 45 to AZ; base OF
skull to waist, Is; bicepts II l-2
