 One of the most brilliant events the young society people have enjoyed was the cotillion, last week Friday night, at the Town hall.

HOWLAND'S
'Old Bleach" Linens.

Linens bleached in the old fash. toned way and nearly as full o1 wear as in a piece of leather.
 Most linens nowadays are bleach. ed with chemicals; don't wea, like those our grandmothers usec to be so proud of. "Old Bleach linens are old fashioned and very very good. They are made in ev- cry process with great care; noth- ing is used that will injure quality.
 But the bleaching is the espec- ial process that gives value. Once the flax is made up into the linen, the fabric lies out in the grass in those north-of-Ireland bleaching greens for eight or ten weeks. Showers and sunshine alternate rapidly; (that is ideal bleaching weather )-and in time the linen is white as snow and so strong. How much better this than the hurry-up way with chemicals.
 "Old Bleach' linens are espec- ially nice for waists and suits for summer. The weave is right and the texture, and the pureness of the white.

Stirring Times Ahead.

The chances are that the legisla
ture will be called in special session
this fall 1t viii consider the tax
commission report at that time.
The republican party is showing
signs of hopeless split and the
steering committee will have Job
on its hands to get the members into
any thing that will even look like
harmony
There will be small but deter
mined minority on the Democratic
side of the legislature and if they
are wise they will make plenty Of
political capital as well as do last
ing service for the state by voting
right on all the phases of the ques
ton which come up.
Gov. White and his party are
getting apart on some of the matters
involved. He is talking real sassy
about the subject and he will be
resoureeful enough to put his enc
mics in bad light if they are not
very alert.
On the whole the chances favor
the people who have been paying
more taxes than they should pay.
1t looks black for the people and
corporations who h." not paid
what they should Pc hey are
not feeling good ovt: the rest
