Practical suggestions.

Taffeta, satin, and India silk are the
best materials to employ for the soft
Inning that comes next the neck. Join
all sleeve facings at the front arm or
inside seam. The latter may be
blind-stitched down or felled. Where
a sleeve pattern is too long the short

and shoulder, or elbow and wrist, or
az both points, according TO the needs
Of the future wearer.

Beauty and Usefaine.. in Poultry

Beauty and Usefulness In Poultry.
The primary and principal object OF
poultry is usefulness-the secondary
consideration being beauty.
The two requirements being so
closely united that one can scar cely
separate them. Useful poultry is that
which produces eggs and flesh which
will repay US for the cost OF produc-
tior and leave aprofit besides. Beauti-
full p-s.a%y is that which satisfies the
eye, regardless of any returns for the
cost OF raising. Beauty and usefulness
combined should then be the one
main object which poultry breeders
should strive for. A useful fowl that
produces flesh and eggs-one that is
Of a defined type, as outlined by the
standard Of perfection and beautiful,
as judged from beanty's standpoint.
should not aud cannot fail TO be the
money-making fowl for the farmer or
poultry man.
Strive to combine beauty and utility,
as by SO doing you may not only reap
a profit but at the same time satisfy
that inherent desire TO possess better
fowls than any of your neighbors have.

DOW CITY HAPPENINGS

Republican rally at Dow City? Yes.
we had a republicanrally in Dow City
Wednesday evening. The Arion band
furnished the music. When the train
east arrived, the procession was form
ed and marched to the hall. When all
were seated, Hon. ThQs. Rae intro
duced the speaker of the evening, Hon.
y. B. Courtwright of Waterloo, who
spoke for about two hours. He took
up the several issues and handled each
one in fair and square manner. His
talk on the money question was made
30 plain that every one got new in
sight into the matter, and there is no
doubt that all who favor sound money
we're convinced more than ever before
that they don't want any change. OF
all that has been said on Imperialism,
there has been no one who has made it
so plain. While talking on the rati6-
cation OF the treaty of peace by the
senate, a young man asked. how about
Senator Hoar." Well he got all he
went after and a considerable more
The speaker told him that Senator
Hoar opposed the treaty from honest
convictions, but, after the ratification
OF the treaty he was willing to support
the administration, and was not like
seventeen democratic senators who
voted for the ratification of the treaty
of peace and then turned against the
administration. 1t may be that the
young man will want to ask some more
questions when he goes to republican
meeting. Hon. j. P. Conner of Deni-
son, our next representative in con-
gress. vas present at the meeting, and
at the close of Mr.. Courtwright's ad-
dress, he was loudly called for, and
responded with few we'll chosen re-
marks. And now in conclusion, we
are of the firm conviction that the
meeting was productive of much good
for the republican party.
