Encourage Immigration.

Every resident of Winfield and
this section of the State who is
DESTROYS of exploiting its products
and resources, should take lively
and active interest in promoting
the success of the immigration
movement being inaugurated by
the Progressive Leagues of North
Louisiana. There is no more
potent COR striking argument to
promote the desirabIlity of sec
ton than the display of its actual
products. The exhibit car to be
sent north should be encourage
by every farmer who has elegant
samples of the products of the
land and who desires the location
of thrifty and Industrious class
of cultivators. Let tie peorle of
Winfield and the farmers of
VIM bear this in mind.

ments have been demonstrated that there is the
less need of considering this
The one point that The National Prohibitionist
desires to emphasize is this: The liquor business
of the city of ST. Louis is enormous, and, in
every feature and detail it is an organized rob-
berry of every legitimate business and of the peo-
pie of the city and the surrounding country.
Let the map tell its own story unchalenged
Let it be conceded, for arguments sake, that the
brewing business does occupy such large part
of the city of St. Louis.
What then?
Simply that this huge part of the so-called bust
ness of St. Louis is business of robbers whose
prosperity is gained only by preyng upon their
neighbors.
This huge business that boasts of such enor-
nous operations, gives to man who patronzcs
it the slightest return for the money that he
spends, be it much or little. All the enormous
payments and expenditures in which it gories
are made because it steals the money of the peo-
pie not alone the large sums that it boasts of
paving ont but many times those amounts: steals
that money from the weak and the unfortunate

and the foolish and the debauched robs the fami-
lies of the poor, throttles legitimate industries,
burdens the grocer and the meat market
with bad bills and lives in the midst of the honest
trade and industry of the city of ST. Louis by
preying upon it.
Truly the advertisement says, Every line Of
business, all kinds of investments and all wages
paid in St. Louis would be affected by Prohbi
ton
Indeed, they would
Every legitimate enterprise of the city would
be relieved of an incubus that weighs it down,
of a vampire that sucks its hearts blood, if the
liquor traffic were abolished
Says the advertisement, "This is the time for
opening and creating industries-not for closing
and killing"
True that-of honest industries
And for that reason the pirate trade that, un-
der the guise of an industry, preys upon every
honest business and has its dirty hand in the till
of every honest dealer and the pocket of every
honest citizen, needs to be killed. that old indus
tries may thrive and new industries may be es
tablished.

their duty was neglected Judge Sims of the

The craze for flying has hit this city hard, and even women and child ren are now grappling with the problem-or some of them at least of the conquest of the air. This week has seen the organization of the first feminine flying club, whose members are very much in earnest in asserting that wives have just as good a right to fly as husbands. Ju- venile interest is being encouraged by the AerOnautic society which is to offer a series of prizes for kite flying competitions by school child ren. While kite flying may seem to be but distantly related to man-fly- ing, this is by no means the case One of Americas foremost aeronauts, Dr. Alexander Graham Bell, has ex- perimented for years with kites. So in offering prizes for juvenile kite flying the AerOnautic society is not only stimulating interest in a very important detail, but is furthering the chief purpose of it's organization, which is to arouse interest in flying among all classes. To this end 1t offers the free use of its grounds and shops at Morris Park to budding aeronauts. Instructions in flying will be given at the same place. where the city's first flying school is located. Altogether New York has been pretty thoroughly infected with the flying microbe, and with the increasing in- terest and enthusiasm it may yet fall to the lot of a Brooklyn man to give to a waiting world the first aerial perambulator

On the other, hand New Workers who have had to push heavily revolving doors at hotel entrances for a good many years do not seem to be either alarmed or changed by the innova- tion. MT. F. A.

The Little Church Around the Cor ner," probably the most famous church in the country, has just passed it's sixtieth birthday. Known in literature, and even in song. it is the one church in America which has national reputation. Few persons, however, know the origin of the popular name, or the correct name of this church. Its proper designation is the Church of the Transfiguration. It was originally organized by twenty persons in 1S4S, and had its first hame in Twenty fourth street, just west of Fifth avenue. Today it has nineteen hundred communicants, and within the last ten years the original pastor, Dr. Houghton. was succeeded as vicar by his nephew, so that the church has had men of the same name as it's pastors throughout its history. It was not until the early seventies that the church attained the nickname by which it is now generally known. On the day of the death of George Holland. the actor, his friend, Joseph Jefferson, now also dead, went to a certain church on MdQlSOn avenue 10 arrange lOT Hollands funeral. Prejudice against the stage was stronger then than it is now and the pastor refused to read the funeral service over the actor. He told Jefferson, however, that there was a little church around the cor ner" where the funeral might be con ducted-the Church of the Transfig- uration. Hollands funeral took place there and the incident spread broad cast. Ever since then this famous church has been known as the Lit tie Church Around the Corner" Many eloping members Of the Four Hundred have been married there and most of the famous actors and actresses who have died within the past twenty-five years have been buried from it's portals.

Broadwayites and especially ire quenters of the large hotels along the Great White Way are busy just at present in examining their fingers and toes to see if they still worked" satisfactorily. A noted college pro- lessor has caused this worry by an- nOuncing that if labor saving devices continue to invade all fields of daily life the human being will soon lose all incentive for independent action and will become only an animated automatiOn, which will go through life pressing buttons and dropping coins in the slots of automatic ma chimes. Country people, this scientist holds, need not fear an early ap- proach of this evolutionary change, since they are less fully supplied with self-wOrking appliances. It is rather in the big cities, and particularly in the large hotels, that he sees the near approach of a race of hopelessly de- pendent beings. When a man doesn't even have to open a door for him
 self he holds that the automatic age has surely arrived. These observa- tions on the part of the professorial

ABOUT ADVERTLSING-N 6 If It Fits You Wear
 This Cap
By Herbert Kaufman

Advertising isn't a crucible with which lazy, bigoted and incapable merchants can turn inCompetenCy into suCcess-but one into which brains and tenacity and courage can be poured and changed into dollars. It IS only a short cut across the fields-nOt moving platform. You can't "get there" without ''going some"
 It's game in which the eOorksr-not the shirker-getS rich.
 By its measurement every man stands for what he is and for what he does, not for what he sUa5 and what he did.
 Every day in the advertising world is another day and has to be ta ken care of with the same energy as it's yesterday.
 The quitter car 'tsurVfUs where the blaggs' has a ghost ot chance.
 Advertising doesn't take the place of busi- ness talent or business management. It simply tells what the business tJ and h05U 1t IS managed. The snob whose father created and who IS content to live on what was Handed to him can't stand up against the man who knows he must build for htmseG.
 What makes yOu think that yOn are entitled to prosper as we'll as a competitor who sOOrks taOice as hard for his prosperity?
 Why should as many people come to pour store as patronize shop that makes an endeavor to get their trade and shows them that 1t IS worth aUhiIe to come to its doors?
 Why should newspaper send as many GUS toners to yOn in half the time 1t took to fill an establishment which advertised tqUice as long and paid t1vice as much for its publicity?
 This is the day when the best man wins after he br0Ues that he is the best man-when the best store wins, whenit has shown that 1t the best store-when the best gOOds win, after they've been demonstrated to be the best goods.
 Hyou want the plumyou can't tgetit by lying under the tree with your mouth open waiting for 1t to drop-too many other men are willing to climb out on the limb and risk their necks in their eagerness to get 1t away from you.
 It is a m0ns game-this advertising just hanging on and tugging and straining all the time to get and keep ahead. It IS the finite ex- pression of the law of competition which sits in blind-folded justice over the markets of the world.

The hats show nothing except thu
the mushroom and umbrella mon
strosities are things of the past. ar"
that the as yet unannounced fashic;.
will be something on the Gainsbo:
ough style. with a draped or ver>
high crown. The jabot will hold its
place in feminine esteem. and the
stiff collar is sure to disappear eS-
cept for morning simplicity.
The new fashion will be very be-
coming to the woman with the
slender figure. but for the stout
woman the suits that are all Of the
same material will be a better Sc
lection. Original and chic ideas are
the making Of a costume, but they
are also the rU.nation of the same
when worn by a woman to whom
they are not suited. The semi-ft
ting short coats were never intended
for women with breadth of figure
nor for those with noticeably short
waists. and the well-dressed woman
always sees that every line and curve
is used to show off the best Of her
individual form.
An advantage of the new suits is
that those who have house dresses
of cloth or wolfe can turn them into
spring suits by having a coat made
Of silk to match. There seems to be
no rule in regard to using the ma
terial of the dress as trimming for
the jacket. SO many women will be
able to have inexpensive suits for the
coming season, and yet be at the
top-notch of style.

Waistcoats for Spring Suits

THERE is new material shown
which is called embossed VEL
L vet ribbon, which seems to have
been manufactured expressly for the
purpose of the vests used on the
cloth suits for spring. All vests must
of course, be much ornamented, and
some women are embroidering the lit
tie silk waistcoat with small four
petal flowers, which are easy to do
and which turn a comparatively SIM
pie material into an elaborate cos
tune. French knots will also be used
extensively. placed on each side Of
stripes of soutache.
A fascinating suit is made of dark
blue cheviot over a champagne-color-
ed vest striped with soutache and en-
broidered with blue flowers, which
are placed in a line between the
stripes of braid. Another vest Is
covered with embroidered dots instead
of flowers. and on still another cres-
cents are used. These latter are quite
the fad this year, and are seen on a
great many new dresses, whether
they are in bias folds or pieces Of
lace

Lace Goats for Spring

" LUNY lace shows signs of being
the most popular of the laces
~ for summer suits and wolfe
dresses. although during the season
just passed il has divided honors with
the ever-faShionable Irish Even the
lace coats for sualmer use are made o.
this pillow lace. ana during the last
three years it has relegated renais-
sance lace to it's proper use for cur
tatnS and table covers
Cluny is very beautiful and desira-
BILE ornament for any costume. and be-
cause 1t is made of a linen thread lit
is especially appropriate as a decora-
ton for linen dresses. At the same
time 1t is not as expensive nor as
heavy as the Irish crochet.
Some of the lace coats are tinted to a
deep shade of tan. while others of
white are lined with silk in some light
shade. The popularity of cluny will
also prevent coats Of embroidered tilet
net fr,m coming strongly into vogue
for the darned net. no matter how
beautiful 1t may be. always has
darned look, while lace should really
look like lace.
II is yet too early 10 tell definitely
how smart the lace coats will be made
for ordinary wear, but certain it is
that, If they are worn on the street,
they will not be strictly good form.

the lingerie turned out to rival that
masterpiece OF Drecoll Is beautiful in
the extreme.

pantalon Of white satin, over which is
petticoat OF crepe de chine finished
at the bottom with deep ruffle of
chiffon taffeta, pompadour ribbon and
J les OF valenciennes used alternately.
Her corset cover of linen is embroid-

the shoulders with Dresden ribbon.
Over this is worn matinee of crepe

The New Iurbans

THE women of Paris are wearing
turbans Of light materials-ch:f-
fon, wolfe. messaline - trimmed
with an aigrette or osprey plume for
,ne theater and for those evening &C.
caslons when they need a hat and
yet do not care to obstruct the view
OF the unfortunates in the rear seats.
The turbans are sometimes only trim
med with long chains Of artificial
pearls and turquoise. which are
wrapped round and round the head.
The. theater season is almost over.
but there are many Easter festivities
and evening commencement exercises,
and these new turDans will be useful
for they obviate the necessity of re-
moving the hat. In any case. it is a
most becoming fashion. and one that
will be gladly received by many
women who do not care to wear the
huge dressy hats. but to whom a
small, plain hat seems inappropriate
with a light gown.
