DEAR OLD REPoRTER:-Having been
requested to write another letter for
your paper by your leave l will comply.
FIRST, l want to say you make your
weekly visit to us as a kind friend for
which receive our thanks. When take
on the wrapper and look for the Davis
City correspondence and there is none l
feel greatly disappointed Then l read
, the Leon items and every adv and all
from first to last page. ~ Gs
We, have had very hot, dry summer
FhereF this year. Crops are not very
good; there is no great quantity of
wheat nor very good quality; corn is
'mucE better than last year. For about
two weeks in August it was 80 dry
farmers could not pillow but we had two
good showers that started the plows in
every field This week they have
started the drills. There is being large
amount Of wheat put out this year.
Jesse is putting out 80 acres and Elisha
50. Pearl is in Ringgold county, Iowa,
visiting her sisters and We three at home
get lonesome and homesick, or at least
do. am not dissatisfied with the
country but long for sight of the dear
friends We left up there September
we droye' to Hawley to visit the family
OF Jasper Dale and eat peaches. We
brought q generous supply home with
us free Of charge and they helped US
pick them. Mr.. Dale will be remember
ed by. many. of your readers as one of
the prosperous farmers Of Decatur
county and he can still be counted
prosperous; he owns a half section of
good land and is now building a com
modious residence. But that peach
orchard, l would like to tell of that if
could, but one must see such sights to
believe them and there are many more
such orchards in Grant county. If we
had had little more rain the peach
crop would have been very large. In
some parts it was too dry. Peaches are
selling from Is to % cents a bushel.
This is fine place to live, the greatest
fault is the scarcity of rain. This
leaves us we'll and we'll satisfied, and
ever wishing THE REPORTER long and
prosperous life.

seems to have what may be called a
motif back Of it. There IL q special
design upon which, and after which.
each suit il constructed. This design
is by no means q fantastic one. but
is one that, while very pretty. Is also
very sensible.
Wash cashmere, wash flannel. wash
able serge and light cloth that has been
shrunken and win tub. are the favo-
rites among the heavy materials.
But there is more and more Of
tendency to keep the child in the heavy
cotton cheviots and in the thick ma
dras cottons. all wash goods, as late
as possible. and to make the body
comfortable by the addition Of coat or
cloak. as the winds begin to blow.
AS a matter Of fact, houses are well
heated in winter and a child is almost
warm enough In its summer wear.
Many women do not now put their
children into heavy hannels. but make
up for the lack Of them by long cloaks
for street wear.
The little girls automobile and the
boys Kitchener coat win keep boy or
girl warm on the stormiest days. and
that IL why you see 30 many light
dresses shown for children Just when
you would look for the heaviest Of
wear. The unlined dress. too, is the
rule.
No more sensibly dressed child lives
in Europe than the little Princess Vic
toria Of Germany. This child, now 10
years old, has her dresses made for
her in London and Paris and shipped
to Berlin.
Little Victoria wears q special kind
Of sailor collar which has been named
after her and is called the Victorian
sailor. It can be made out Of any kind
Of goods, thick or thin. and it looks
well In any color It affords a fine ex-
ample Of the pretty and the sensible
in a child's dress.
It IL pretty because Of its trimmings
and its shape, and sensible because 1t
IL dark at the neck and throat, where
the child's active chin rubs against 1t,
and dark where her curls lie upon It.

THE STATE PRESS SHOULD WAKE

The state press has no comment TO
make on the fact that a court has declar-
cd that a state treasurer has been loan
ing state funds and taking the interest
in violation Of law.
IL is bad enough that such abuses
should exist but when they are at last
officially declared by a court Of justice,
the press OF the state should at least tell
the people what has been done.
A iew OF the state papers published tho
decision but In such a low, cringing,
mumbling, mealy-mouthed way that
half their readers did not know what
had been decided.
The press owes IL TO the people TO at
least inform them when step in the
direction OF good government has been
gained. IL owes them the clear light of
day on this matter
The people OF this state have virtually
TO fight the battle ior progress and good
government with indifference on the
part Of the Republican party press and
some OF the other papers.
The state is still sadly In ueed Of sew
eral large and able new papers at Port
land. The people are supporting what
are supposed TO be public journals that
are really parasite newspapers protect
log their own gratis, while parading re-
forms that don't count.
