JUDGE MANN OPENS
COURT AT LINCOLN


The summer term of the district
court for Lincoln county opened at
Lincoln, the county seat yesterday,
Judge Edward A. Mann presiding and
Clerk Charles P. Downs in attend
ance. The docket is very heavy and
it is understood that Judge Mann will
hold court until it is cleared. There
are 95 civil cases and IS criminal
cases on the docket. The accumulation
on the docket was caused by the
length of time that ensued between
the last term of the court and the pres
ent, namely fifteen months. There
were no funds available for court pur.
poses. The present term will last
probably three weeks.

gram was the plan to adjourn at an

WINTER CLOTHES

In childrens winter clothes not
the least important point is the
color.
1t is absolutely cruel of mother to
make over her own things for little
girls and boys regardless of their
suitability. Black, for instance,
should never be used for children
everyday clothes, though black and
white is quite allowable if the fam
lily mourns some near relative. A
little girl may wear black hat,
particularly if it is built on picture
lines.
Jewelry, excepting plain gold
baby pins or gold bar at the col
lar, should not be worn by children
until of an age when their skirts
reach the shoe tops. Precious
stones, rings, bracelets and other
adornments should be kept until
young ladyhood is not far distant.
Wells should not be worn-by a lit
tie girl under five, excepting chif-
fon wells on very cold days or for
motoring.
Children's gloves should be of
dog or buckskin. Kid and suede are
too dressy and belong to women.

LOVES AMETHYST.

A thousand years ago, a single
eyed, flat-nosed god came out of
the depths of the sea and set his
ugly self to rule over a. brown race
of men. The god was called KAN

was of the purest amethyst. The
amethyst eye brought mutual love

the brown men, who brought the

of the simple brown men won the

of the god. There was one thing,
though-when the gem returned to
the sea, then the love spell held no
