The Victims of the Late Strike Here Not

not take much stock in the recently re-

Issued BY the local lodge at Argentine.
The appeal published without sigma
lures, however, is a. follows:

lines of business in connection with the

railroad companies makes it next to i'm

Of these men are sober and industrious

cal strength to the movement.
and this was done as much from
the force Of example and sur

care TO enter into discussion - to the
merits of the case, or the motives that
prompted 50 many men 20 quit work.
Suffice il to say, the majority Of these
men thought they were right, otherwise
they would not have made the sacrifices
they did in a cause which they well IN

The officials Of the lodge, ut this point
say they do not believe the appeal was

have not.

This article will have no particular
interest perhaps to suffragists, but to the
CENTRALIZED beings described in the first

Time out Of mind the tailors have
been wrestling with the problem of how
to make trousers that Will not bag at the
knees. At last they claim to have sue
ceeded, by a simple trick in the cutting.
ALI trousers this season will be made ac-
cording to the alleged new discovery by
tailors who know their business. They
will be large at the hips and will slope
down with almost straight seams to the
bottoms. IL the widths are, say, nine
teen inches at the knees, they will be
seventeen inches or less at the feet.
This will enable the legs to fall in per-
pendicular lines and will prevent the
knees from punching.
A Topeka tailor said today that he is
already receiving orders for the new cut,
and that he even made few Of them last
year The new cut resem bles, the tail
ors say, the old ~pegtop7 style that was
in vogue twenty or twenty-five years ago.
This time they will be made with a slight
spring. As compared with the style now
dying they will look, Of course, strange

for an ordinary spant' leg was. if twenty
