spirit Of forbearance on the part of tho
people. He argued that there was no oc-
,casion for great alarm especially in the
northwest, where prosperity never was so
general and where It was so certain,
owing to the natural physical advantages
Of the states of Oregon. Washington and
Idaho. He said that the balance of trade
was against this section at this time for
the reason that it was so prosperous and
that It was shipping S0,O0O,0O0 bushels
of wheat to foreign countries; that the
wheat had TO be paid for and the pay
ment had temporarily left the banks short
Of ready money at time when 1t was
in unusual demand. The governor pointed

GOVERNMENT FNKEs BOX RENT
Peculiar Condition Brought tn Light
at MarshaIItOSVn.


MARSHALLTOWN, Ia Nov. s.--(spe-
eial)-As a result OF an investigation made
recently by postofficel inspector Miss
Lulu Walker, postmaster at the sub
postal station at the Iowa Soldiers Home,
will probably have to pay about $500 for
box rents which have been collected by
her, but which havo never been turned into
the Postofhce department. All uninten-
tionally. and without intending any wrong,
Miss Walker has been keeping the revenue,
which, amounted to about 500 year, de-
rived from the box rents at the postal
station, which supplies almost 1000 people
with their mail.
The case is a peculiar one in that the
state is furnishing the boxes and the
federal department intends to collect the
rent for them. Years ago, when the Sol
diers' Home was small institution a
little counter and a set Of pigeon holes
answered the needs OF the postofhce As
the institution grew and a new head
quarters building was erected, a room was
set aside for a postofhce and all the
needed furniture to equip II was furnished
by the state. This furniture consisted OF
several hundred private boxes They
rented readily and never questioning for
minute its right TO do so, the institution
allowed the postmaster to keep the rent
from the boxes as part Of her salary. This
she has done through a series Of years
Recently Postmaster c. H. Smith was
notified that the box rents past and future,
OF the Soldiers Home substation would
have TO be turned into the department.
This Mr.. Smith has done for the nine
months OF his term Of ONCE. The balance
OF the time belongs to the term of j. O

BEAUTY PRAISED
YOUNG LADY FROM ST. LOUIS SEES
 STYLISH HATS.
Nachman a. Meertief the Recipients joi Very Pretty Compliment From Society
 Woman.

You have seen pictures in your fa- vorite fashion magazine Of women wearing the most irresistible creations in millinery and possibly wondered why 1t was that you never seemed ape to get just that subtle touch added to your hat which would raise it from the commonplace into the realm in real art?
 If this has been your experience, 1t Is clear that your new hat has never had "Nachman & Meertief' on the bandbox. since 1t is become axiomatic that only works of superior quality are alioWeo to leave their. workshop, and there- fore their name is their bond"
 ' Tn today's advertisement, Nachman ds Meertief have undertaken to tell some thing of what they consider the most unusual display of really fashionable millinery that they have shown. And the display is in fact extraordinary when you consider that Montgomery is after all only Smaller" townA Only last week a young lady from St. Louis was in the store. looking over the new hats (and you must remember that St. Lotus is famous far and near as the millinery market of this country), and she said that in all her varied career as shopper she had never in all her life seen a millinery display in a town this size that could fin any sort of way stack up with Nachman & Meer- tiers. Naturally this was a compli- ment that was greatly appreciated coming as 1t did from a lady, of un- doubted taste and discriminatiox-- one who had all her life been accus- toned to buying the best and who was therefore in position to know style when she saw 1t.
 Montgomery woman are taking e very great interest in this fashionable showing.
