Twelve Women Good and True.

Denver is. appropriately, the first
city In the Union TO have a lawsuit

entirely Of women, as Denver is the
metropolis OF Colorado, a state which
permits women to vote. The first
jury OF women sat through the con:
flicting testimony of noteworthy
suit and rendered memorable yer.

such cases, but alas with jury com.
posed OF ignorant men the point will
always be confused.
Every woman knows that when
her own dress does not fit it is the
dressmaker's fault. Every woman
also knows that when another wom-
ans dress does not fit the fault is
with her figure. The twelve women
In the Denver suit decided, with their
Unborn knowledge OF such things,
that the dressmaker defendant was
not to blame. The dress was alright.
Its fit was perfect. Clearly the plain,
tiff's figure was at fault. How could
q woman with that figure expect any
dress to look we'll on her? This was
q point on which the twelve could
agree smicably. The verdict would
have been the same, too, II anyone
else neutrality-suspicious. plain

To mere men this way Of getting
at a verdict will not seem fair. But
what jury Of men knows whether or

this matter The Colorado women
jury, as we have said, has established
q precedent which ought to be
studied and observed. From the n

"Talk about hard luck" says the
Anthony Republican, San Anthony
minister knows what that spells
Within the past year he was called
to near by city to perform the
marriage ceremony on a Sunday, so
he hired a brother minister to con-
duct his services at a cost of SIS,
performed the ceremony and got a
square meal, a kiss from the charm,
Ing young bride and a $5 gold piece.
That night he attended services In
the local church, with quarter and
q gold piece In the same pocket so
the gold went into the contribution
basket by mistake. That is not the
worst Of It; he promised his wife all
the wedding fees, so he now has to

The Fairfax Forum has this to ga

The Fairfax Forum has this to say
on u much discussed subject: The
impression shat a larger per cent OF
the boys raised on the farm wander
TO she towns and cities looking FOR
n more pleasant occupation is not
correct. The Tact is that while the
majority OF boys recognize the neces-
sity OF procuring an education, and
sometimes 20 to town for this pur-
pose, they generally understand that
farming is superior to most any 9th
or kind OF work and they cherish the
intention OF making that their life
work. 1t is a fact that many Atchi
son county boys have land OF their
own and some OF them take a pride
In showing what they can do In farm
ing. At the corn show here last week
special premiums were offered for
corn grown by boys, and many fine
specimens were shown. The intelli-
gent boy Of today knows that farm
ing is the most independent and
profitable OF occupations, and a ma
jority OF those raised on farms will
devote their lives to such work.
There Ia no doubt that the farmers OF
today will find competent persons to
take their places as they retire from
active work. Indeed, the farmer OF
the future promises so be far ahead
OF the most successful ones OF today.

--MhY- Hoes Eat Dirt,

Many persons contend that a hog
Is naturally filthy and prove (?) their
assertion by citing the fact that hogs
eat dirt and wallow In she mIre.
These people apparently forget that
II the average hog did not eat dirt
he would 5sarve-not because dirt is
all that he has TO eat, but because
his 10 cd Is thrown to him In the dirt,
and, not being provided by nature
with the means OF sorting his food
from the dirt, he is compelled to take
the mixture whether he likes it or
not. The same Is true OF their wal
lowing. A hog perspires through
small apertures or periorasions on
the inside of the front legs. and not
through the skin of the whole body,
as do other animals, hence he suffers
from heat and must go into water 80
cool himself
Excepting his drinking trough, the
only available place for him so I'm
merse himseli-on the average farm
lis a mud hole, and he goes IN there,
not from inborne love OF filth, but
from the necessity OF cooling himself.
Did any one ever see n healthy, hun
cry hog refuse clean feed given him
on clean floor or from q clean
trough? or hog refuse so 20 into a
clean basin of water on "a hot day?
The truth Is that the hog is the
most neglected and abused OF all the
domestic animals. Intelligent farm

their other live stock and progress.

hogs In the mud and shelter (?) them
In foul and tilthy quarters-then ap-
pear surprised at lack oi!health and

fore the hog can be regenerated from

go regeneration. The hog is now
dirty from necessity-his owner is
dirty from choice. Plain talk, but

BENEFITS AND OBJECTIONS

The benefits expected from this
plan are that 1t will prevent runs on
the banks and will attract money In
to the banks that Is nowit boarding.
The objections to the plan are shat
II taxes the strong and we'll managed
banks for the benefit OF the weak and
poorly or dishonesty managed
banks. 1t is contended also that It
will stimulate such active competi-
ton for deposits shat she more reck-
less bankers will offer inducements TO
customers that conservative bankers
will not give, resulting In unsafe
methods and practices on the part
OF many bankers
The Oklahoma law provides that
any national bank In the state may
voluntarily avail itself OF the terms
OF the law as applied compulsory TO
the state banks.

call q special session OF the Kansas
Legislature to pass bill providing
for guaranteeing deposits in Kansas

vantages. They lessen the number of bands and fastenings about the waist and they do away with the possibility of parting at the waist line. They make a much more desirable effect beneath the fashionable princesse, or semi princesse dresses than separate ones while they are comfortable and satisfactory beneath those of any sort. This one, designed for young girls, is made with petticoat and cor set cover in one and is exceedingly simple while it is full enough to round out girlish figures in a desir- able way. In the illustration fine ba- tiste is trimmed with embroidery, but lace trimming can be used if pre- ferred or the frill at the lower edge could be of the material banded or trimmed in some other way, and all the materials that are used for under wear are appropriate. Linen batiste is much liked and is cool and delight flu to wear, while it perfectly endures laundering, but cotton batiste, lawn and nainsook are the materials most in vogue.
 The petticoat is made simply with the front and backs. It is tucked at its upper edge and is gathered at the waist line, the gathers being stayed by a narrow belt. The straight sleeves are inserted in the armholes.
 The quantity of material required for the 16 year size is 31s yards 36 inches wide. 9A yards of insertion, 3is yards of narrow and 3 4 yards of wide embroidery to make as illus trated.
