SCHOOL ELEYENS
READY FOR BATTLE

The wet weather yesterday prevented prac-
tice of the high school teams and the coaches
took their wards to the schools where black
board work was the program. The condition
Of the weather was great disappointment to
the coaches, as it was their intention to work
their teams hard yesterday and permit them
to rest today for tomorrow's game. But as
result of the rain every team worked this
afternoon and some of the players will be more
or less when entering the game tomor-
row. \se t......-t
Coach Morse had secret practice at Central
and only the first and second teams were ad-
mitted At South the regular practice ground
used and eight alumni members were ex-
pected out to help Ellis in the finishing touches.
Ellis has decided to The same lineup as in

The North squad began practicing shortly

assistance of Sheppard and the Oswald bro

Five Million For Missouri"

Has been adopted as the motto of
the immigration Association of Mis-
souri,, which was organized at ST..
Louis recently by delegates from all
parts Of the State. Its purpose is to
acquaint desirable people living else.
where with the opportunities offered
in Missouri and to form clearing
house for lands and business openings
which will prove effective in increas
ing the population of the State.
Not many OF the homeseekers who
pass through and beyond Missouri
realize that this State has six million
acres of unoccupied land lying almost
at the door of some of the greatest
markets in the West. II was shown
at the convention that farmers Of ILL.,
nois, Iowa, Indiana and other States
can sell their land and buy four acres
for one in Missouri, on which they
can raise better crops than on their old
land. The Immigration Association is
arranging to advertise Missouri extern
sively. 1t has opened an Office in the
Ozark building, st. Louis; j. II.
Curran is President and George b.
HARRISON, Secretary.
Any person who is interested in
building up Missouri may become a
member. Application blanks may be
obtained at this office.

the fox that it might be cared for and
kept for future use. The purpose OF
leading the fox over the ground was
to leave the scent on the trail for the
hounds to test their running ability and
seeming instinct; they were never to
see or hurt the fox. The members of
the club regret that anything unforeseen
happened or that reports about the
chase should have been so exaggerated

THE STATEHOOD JUGGLERY.

What is behind all this statehood
juggleryi At first sight it is
plainly a narrow partisan issue.
Each of the territories, Oklahoma,
Indian Territory, Arizona aud New
Mexico, IL entitled to separate
statehood; but that would place
eight more Senators from the West
in the United States Senate, and
probably disturb Eastern prestige
in that body somewhat-perhaps
give the Democrats little gain,
To offset this, the Republicans con.
ceived the scheme to double up
these territories, making two States
where there ought to be four, and
President Roosevelt and Speaker
Cannon launched this as Repub-
lcan issue. They succeeded in
getting through the House bill
admitting Oklahoma and Indian
Territory as one State and Arizona
and New Mexico as another. 1t
was an outrage against the people
Of these territories, reducing them
to a representation of four in the
Senate wherenthey ought to have
eight, for their population is now
greater than some of the little
Eastern State boroughs which have
two Senators each, and will more
than double and treble their pop
ulation in a few years. For mar
row, sectional, partisan purposes
this scheme to curtail the represen.
tation of the growing and infiuen-
tial West was Matched out by the
Republican bosses of the East.
They would disfranchise as much
as possible the West. The game

cipals, to equal privileges and fair

treme1y long, and after the full barred
shaped skirt, just touching the floor
all around, this change is a decided
relief. Indeed, during the last few
months a great revolution has been
going on among all skirt models, with
the result that now instead of the full
skirt, which, while fitting about the
waist and hips, flares out widely above
the knees, we have many models that
are quite narrow all the way down
to the knees, just above the feet a flare
being given by numberless Lie ruffies
and ruchings of silk, lace and chiffon.
While the tight fitting skirt always
runs the risk of being little exagger-
ated, and the least exaggerated is ex-
It can be most graceful and will add
welcome inches to the height of one
who is perhaps too short or, worse yet,
too stout As long train leaves am
pie space for elaborate trimming, many
of the skirts are now quite plain save
just from a few inches above the floor,
where, as said before, ruchings of silk
or lace are added, and these are car
ried down on the train. Naturany in
the embroidered silks and cloths the
work is not only confined to the lower
part of the skirt, but it must be put
on in such way as to give long lines
whenever possible. In thin materials,
as chiffons and all kinds of gauze, lace
medallions are appliqued on to the tex
ture and apparently held together by
bands Of satin or velvet ribbon. Rib
bon foulards and ribbon embroidery
both play an important role among the
trimmings of the coming season.
AS ribbon is so fashionable at the
moment, it is used in many cases to
take the place of brocade and taffeta
silk. Many of the long Louis XVI jack
cts, for example, are made of wide
fancy ribbon instead of the material
itself and as it would be next to i'm
possible to initiate in brocaded silk
some of the handsomest patterns and

It Is possible, however. to nave most
attractive gown made in this way that
is not appallingly expensive. An effec-
tive ribbon can be found for cempara-
lively little, and the chiffon skirt can
be prettily trimmed with Valenciennes
founces, caught up here and there by
knots of black velvet or of ribbon Of
the same color as the jacket. This
year many of the coats, instead of be-
ing made up over white, have a skirt
and vest of the same shade of chiffon as
is the background of the brocade. One
modef, for example, was of a delicate
apple green, with brilliant pink and
red roses over 1t, and the vest and
skirt were of the same pale green. elab-
orately made up with quantities of
soft white lace. For a pale pink bro
cade, with large red and pink roses
and a touch of green, the soft pink
skirt and bodice are perhaps more eff
fective and are certainly newer than
IL they were in white.

colorings to be found In ribbon, the
idea can be carried out with charming
effect. Fitted silk coats over skirts
and vests of lace and chiffon make a
style of dress that cannot be sur
passed, for 1t is sure to be serviceable
and is always smart. Many of the
brocades are embroidered over the de-
sign IN silk or traced out In rhine
stones or little steel beads. Beadwork
of all kinds is now extensively en-
ployed in place of the spangles and
paillettes, which, however, are still
fashionable in all embroidery work.
With a long silk coat the skirt and
vest are in most cases eiaborately
trimmed with lace insertions and me-
dallions and frequently are handsomely
embroidered in ribbon or beadwork.
