COUNTY SEAT.
PhiIIipsburg Is Growing Rapidly and
Is the flost Important Town In
Northwest Kansas.

The interests of every enterprise OF
every county center in the county seat
and it is usually expected to be the
leading town Of the county. But
-Phillipsburg is more than this, Sit
uated in the heart of the best farming
section of northern Kansas and being
an important division on the ROCK
Island railroad, it naturally follows
that Phillipsburg is the leading town
of this part of the state.
The town was plated the same
year that the county was organized,
in 1872, by company of settlers from
Doniphan county, viz. Samuel Plotner,
j. II. Close, and e s. Dean and was
named in honor of COL. William A.
Philips who was a member of congress
and an enthusiastic friend Of the town.
1t was made the county seat by proc
lamation of Gov. Harvey, in 1872.
Phillipsburg has suffered many viciS-
situdes and has gone both up and
down with the surrounding country,
but is now enjoying building boom
Of large prop lti4lS and the growth
which 1t is undergoing indicates that
it is OF a healthy character and the
business interests Of the town are now
upon the most satisfactory and stable
basis during its history. Between
fifty and one hundred residences have
heen erected during the last two years
and many others are still under way.

the depreciation of valueS'from which
a reactionary period is always hard to
establish, But it came, and property
values began healthy rise. Improve
ment became the order OF the day and
was only impeded by the total and par
tial crop failures of succeeding years.
Now, where only a quarter of a CEN
tury ago land was still being given
away, it bears a definite and fixed
valuation ranging from SIS to $75 per
acre, and only the very poorest can be
purchased for the lesser sum, while
some of the best cannot be purchased
at the highest figure and is actually
paying cash rent figured on $lOO
basis.
There are five towns Incorporated as
cities Of the third class, each progress

Doing Things Easily

DO sit down." said a wise mother
of family to the new and ambitious
young house maid. Il do not in the
least approve of what might be called
laziness, or the habit of collapsing indp
chair every time one turns round,
but 1 do believe in saving ones strength
when it is just as easy to do it. You
are standing at the table to pare your
potatoes. when you might just as well
sit down to II. By-and-by there will
be cleaning and brushing and scrub
bing to do, when you must stand. If
there is fruit to prepare, vegetables to
get ready, or any OF the many things
where one may remain quiet while do
ing them. it is much better TO sit. This
gives renewed energy for the harder
part of the work, and while there is so
much about housework that is neces-
sarily taxing, it seems to me a very
wise thing to do this. l do not know
why economy in strength is not just as
important as economy in anything
else" Certainly the ability to make
the best of all our powers is worth a
little study. People who are well and
strong often seem to enjoy a reckless
exhibition of their physical ability but
with these a time almost always comes
when the heavy strain of wasted energy
begins to tell on the constitution; then
it is too late to prevent the damage.

When Buying a Hat

When a woman has either sharp or
prominent features she should never wear
a hat off the face. A hat brought well
over the face is more becoming.
A hat with the brim crushed in here
and there IS usually chosen by a woman
whose features are irregular.
With small features avoid a large pic
ture hat.
Keep the forehead in shadow If it is in
chned to be high, and never wear a hat
that has an upturned brim.
Small toques for small features, unless
it is a tall woman.
oval or round toques. with soft. rich
colorings. or black and white, suit beai
those no longer young.
Auburn hair looks well with brown oi
green. Navy blue, with touch of rec
and browns. are becoming to blondes
without much color. Bright green, to0
is sometimes selected.
With pale or muddy complexion black
velvet or SOFT white maline facing is
often satisfactory.
Blush tints are very becoming to bru.
nettas.
Have patience with the woman of un-
certain age who wears a sailor hat She
does not realize that she is not as youne
as she feels.
Burnt straws are more becoming 70 a
woman over 30 than the new champagne
tints.

the Amounts n Creditor May Accept
In Different Coins.
Ordinarily when a debtor appears be-
forq long time creditor there is no
questioning Of the United States coin
in which the debt is to be paid. but
the wide possibilities possessed by an
arbitrary creditor in stipulating just
what coins and in what amounts he
will receive payment are enough al
most TO discourage borrowing.
You can't force a mean creditor TO
take more than % cents worth Of
nickels or % cents worth Of copper
cents. II you could get as much as
So worth OF old silver three cent pieces
of another generation you could unload
S5s North on him, just as he would
have TO take So worth Of the silver five
cent pieces and 50 worth Of the OBJ
solete twenty cent pieces, which made
so much trouble in the late seventies
But you can pay out $40 in silver
dimes and silver quarters and silver
half dollars. The trade dollars, OF
which there are a few still coming
into the trasury Of the United States
for redemption. are worth nothing,
while the standard dollar is an un-
limited legal tender, rs is the old dol
lar Of our dads" the first OF which
was coined I'm 1894 and the last in 1878.
Coins that virtually have disappear
ed from circulation are gold three and
one dollar pieces, the trade dollar Of
silver, the nickel three cent piece. the
copper two cent piece. the copper half
cent and silver three and five cent

Popularity of Tafeta

With each day taffeta silk, in all it's
newest and most fascinating varieties,
rises In popularity. Figured as well as
changeable cOlors are immensely fash
ionable and the picturesque Is more
and more in vogue. In fact, gowns Of
taffeta are rapidly replacing the cos
tunes OF voile which have for so long
been found most serviceable and in
every way satisfactory. Smart yelling
gowns are now not often seen save In
the very latest shades. Deep pink.
crushed strawberry, and a new shade
resembling very much the beautiful
color of the full blown American
Beauty rose, are made up in voile, and,
in fact, there are certain Of these
shades which can be obtained IN no
other texture The voile of today is
lighter and finer than the yelling of
last year but is nevertheless practic-
ally the same material.
