Summer Evening Gowns.

From Harper's Bazaar.
White s.Wns are always fashionable I'M
relieved by any color; but there are such
fascinating pinks and blues and yellows
and mauves that, while white gown is
always distinctive and attractive, it seems
to have lost the Smartness and individual
ity that 1t possessed. There are most
charming materials for evening gowns this
year striped gauzeS and chiffons; chiffon
especially seems endowed with everlasting
youth. and appears again as one of the
new fabrics. There are fascina ting crepes
fetas and the inexpensive gauzes and satins
really come within the reach of every one.
In the pattern gowns there is a great
variety to choose from, both in laces and
in embroidered muslins and a most excel
lent investment is a lace gown made with
two waists, high and a low one.

Under the Apple Tree.
Fables of Eugene Heltai.

From the Fables of Eugene Heltai.
In the garden of great man six persons
were sitting, a scientific man, a merchant,
a poet, a young man-very much in love
lawyer and a lady. The wind was
blowing rather hard and six apples fell
down. Each took one. The scientific man
took his apple and discovered a new law
of nature The merchant sold his. The
poet ate his. The young man who was very
much in love gave his to his sweetheart.
The lawyer went to law against the owner
of the tree on account of being hit by the
fallen apple But the lady took her apple
to the owner of the tree, gained his affec-
lions, and as he was rich she had lots of
money all the rest of her life.

The world wants men who can do things
in new and better ways. Don't think,
because your plan or idea has no precedent,
or because you are young and inexperienced
that you will get no hearing The man
who has anything new and valuable to give
to the world will be listened to and will be
followed. The man of strong individuality
who dares to think his own thought and
originate his own method and who is not
else, quickly gets recognition. Nothing else
will attract the attention of your employer
or the rest of the world so quickly as
originality and unique ways of doing

Family Relations.
from Harper's Bazaar

From Harper's Bazaar.
1t is part of the price we pay for being
human that we must share the woes and
cares of all humanity. 1t is our satisfying
reward, that in proportion as we share do
we receive. The man who lives life alone,
like Crusoe on his island, has only his own
strength to rely on. He has less even than
Crusoe. who had. after all, much fiotsam
from civilization on the shore. and in his
brain. The man of family has the whole
family's strength to reinforce his own, and
he has this just in proportion as he Is a
good, Woodworking member of the family.
The better son he is the more he gets from
his father, If not by means of his fathers
conscious gift, then by the mere fact of the
strength he gets from the exercise of flial
piety The better husband and father he Is
the bigger he grows. The more he knows
and loves and serves the outlying kindred.
the more they serve him; IL in other
way. by helping him to surer knowledge
of himself.

Success is a Creative Process.

From success.
No human being ever yet made success
trying to be somebody else, even If that
person was a success. Success cannot be
copied-cannot be successfully Initiated 1t
is an original force-a creative process.
Every man will be a failure just in pro-
portion as he gets away from himself and
tries to be somebody else, and to express
somebody else instead of himself. Power
comes from within or from nowhere BE
yourself. Listen to the voice within. There
is room for improvement in every profess

over the United States. More than
one hundred applicants appeared az
candidates for the position as superin.

for a similar position In her schools.
The truth is, that nearly every town
school is flooded with applications for
positions from the highest TO the low

nearly every county is short on rural
teachers. Probably the principal
M for this shortage is the numer-
GUS new branches, especially music,

also the difficulties rural teachers
have In securing suitable boarding
places. Our farmer friends are be-

bothered with boardsrs-can't blame
them for it-and board teachers only
when absolutely necessary for the
good OF the schools; but in some dis.

found. For these reasons, the low
salaries paid rural teachers, and the
frequent changes made, rural teach
ers are very scarce. The best golu.

IRON AND STEEL EXPANSION.

The United States several years ago
took the lead of England in iron and
steel production. We are now far
ahead, and the lead is increasing. W.
are making so much of these products
that we are pushing Il sales OF them
very extensively In the worlds mar
kets. While the United States ex.
ports of iron and steel were 81, 900,
600 in the eight months ending in Feb
ruary OF the fiscal year 1895, they
were $85, 900, 900 for the same length
Of time in the fiscal year 1908. II Is
expected that the shipments for the
remainder of the fiscal year will be
in the same proportion.
For this year the total Of the iron
and steel exports has brokensall the
records. Coincidently with this gain
In the amount Of these products which
we sell to the rest Of the world is a
shrlnkage in the amount Of them
which we buy from abroad. For the
eight months for which comparisons
are made the iron and steel imports
were 1884, 900 900 in 1909, $40 600, 900
in 1904, and $14, 100000 in 1905. The
figures for the remainder Of the year,
closing on June 30, are expected TO
make this decline in imports seem
still more striking. 1t IL well, how.
v to bear in mind that in times OF
great industrial activity IN this coun-
try there is a tendency OF imports OF
many sorts OF products to rise.
Here is a triumph Of the protective
system which speaks for itself. II
there had never been any tariff, the
iron and steel imports would be large
and the exports would be nil. Eng
land, Germany and France would be
making for us the greater part Of the
metal manufactures which WI use.
We have many important natural adj
vantages over the rest Of the world In
cur stores Of iron ore and coal, but
without a protective barrier against
the incursIons OF thas commodities
we would not be able 10 utilize our
vast stocks OF these things effectively.
The rest Of the world would so far un-
dersell us in our own markets that
u manufacturers would not be able
to make any Roadway. The figures OF
the iron and steel exports and imports
are a striking tribute to the merits of
the system Of protection to American
industry.

THE LINE

IL n we're to judge by the conver
sation of some people, each individual
in Oskaloosa is expected to put w
100000 for the interurban,
The sum asked may seem large, but
there is no use to make a mountain
out Of a mole hill.
The question confronting every bus,
mess man and property owner, and
the one that everyone should be
ready to answer when called upon, is,
what is an interurban to Buxton
worth to me?"
II from any narrow viewpoint he
can figure that the enterprise would
be of no benefit to him, he should not
subscribe for any Of the stock.
On the other hand, II he thinks he
can see immediate and future benefits
worth the investment by him Of &c.,

Of the stock allotted to oskaloosa.

Is there anyone who thinks this was

Today a city of 10000 people,--five
times the size Of its early self,--is
asked to subscribe only a little more

prise that means the doubling OF our
population and as rich benefits as any
railroad in the past could have given
us. ..|-.
Furthermore each subscriber gets
his share OF the capital stock of the
company,-exactly Of the same issue
