All our hats are made on the latest style shapes of the season and every hat carefully inspected before it leaves the work room. Bear in mind when you buy hat of us you buy di- rect from the manufacturer at one-half the price elsewhere, and not all alike. as some of our competitors are buying cheap ready made hats and charging you double the price. We assure you that our hats are equal to any shown by our competitors. If you are looking for a stylish hat examine our line and prices before you go elsewhere. as it will pay you to call from any distance

WHAT WILL SHE WEARR

The Fashionabze Wom@n's Coatss
 FrOcks and Frills.
 One of the Vaccinations of the season lies in it's dainty and original wraps. What could be more alluring than that separate small garment, the cape coat or coat cape (caM 1t as you wilD, which seems to have evolved tits changeable and bewitching self out of two very prosaic articles? The cachet of these cunning little coats depends so much upon the cut that they can hardly be- Eonle unpleasanfly numerous The coat being loose, hang and balance take the pikcegof what is,usually, called the tsatting.s But the knack of getting the right cut Is quite as elusive as se- curing fit, if not more so.
 Bodtces, too, have forsaken the strict boIero effect and have come to be in reality the short plisse sack, and com bined with this is the scapuchon, droop- ing over the shoulders with oftentimes stole ends in front thatsgive sfhe requi- site straight fronted aspect to the fg- ure. It Is easy to see why this style of garment commends itself. It is becom- ing. It gives the necessary breadth to the shoulders, lessens the waist and balances the full skirt.
 The cape coat shown Is supplied with sleeves which make it more useful garment, but later on these little pei erine affairs are likely to become sleeveless. This coat is in white cloth, which, with champagne and other light kints, holds favor.
 The sack is one of the newest ad- juncts, coming. little to the side or in the center ofsthe back yw1th, ends knot ted together or belt may be finished In the back with butterfly bow or cluster of silk knots.

with cross over f1chus, long coat tails to some of the bodices, pointed revers and gauntlet cuffs are predicted by the authorities for the height of the com ing season. Skirts are full from the yoke down, but increased depth of yoke accommodates this fashion nice Iy to the exigencies of the stout wom- ans figure. And, in fact, fullness may be voluminous or not provided only it flows straight out all round from the yoke.
 The so called boleros of cloth gowns now open in front over beautiful nous Belfne jabots.
 New light passementeries and knot ted fringes are much used as trim mings.
 Linen embroidery and lace collars give the smart finish to many gowns in voile, tammy or mousseline.

Lawyers, as a class, are often both cred by friends and acquaintances who, in purely innocent manner, ask their opinions on legal technicalities with never an idea of paying for the information. H
 A person of this class received well merited rebuke recently from a legal luminary of New York. Meeting lawyer, he drew from his pocket a five dollar bill and said: Give me your opinion on this note. Is it good?"
 Tke lawyer took 1t, examined it care fully and then rendered his decision. Tt is perfectly good," he said, and in nonchalant way he folded it up. and put 1t in his pocket.

in this immediate vicinity, where con

expectations. 1t Will be noted that he
is to practically buy the system at
several times what it cost, but is he
to own it afterwards? Decidedly not.
The company still owns it and collects
an annual rental for the use of the
water to pay dividends-on what? On
a purely fictitious capitalization
stocks and bonds which represent no
investment except the cost of paper
and ink.
This is the way private enterprise
builds irrigation works in the west.
And the opponents of national irri-
cation say it is cheaper than govern
ment enterprise. Cheaper for whom?
1t is certainly not cheaper for the
man who wants to get a home on the
land. Even it the glitterng expecta-
lions of profit are never realized, exor-
bitant interest must be paid for the
use of the construction fund. Men do
not SEED their money into rev coun.
tries on Ordinary terms. !'ney de-
mand a part OF the fabulous profit
which their capital is expected to
create.
Is it cheaper for the people of the
United States-for industrial interests
of every description whose prosperity
is to he enhanced by the opening
and settlement of a mighty empire in
which millions of men shall ultimately
make their homes?
No; nothing could be more costly
to the people of the United States
than to leave the development OF their
public domain to promoters and specu-
lators, and to have the h-omeseekers
burlened with the obligation to pay
impossible profits to those who have
made a monopoly of the water supply.
The prosperity of all means the pros
perity of each.
Private enterprise has had it's in
ming in connection with the irrigation
industry of the west. And it has failed
failed utterly and miserably, leav-
ing a trail Of disappointed investors
and brokenhearted settlers. Now, let
the government go forward with it's
great plan of creating comprehensive
works and turning them over to the
people at actual cost. Uncle Sam has
the cheapest money and employs the
best talent in every direction. No
private corporation can compete with
him in laying the foundation for civil
lization in these valleys of the west.
But one thing Uncle Sam must not
fail to do in order to realize his ex-
pectations. He must a v the public
property before it is everlastingly too
late-before the timber-clothed water
sheds and the fertile agricultural val
leys are absorbed by the l%and-grab-
bers. He must repeal the laws thai
make possible this nameless outrage
upon the country and its people.
