When PUTTING on Gloves.

A person who understands the bust.
ness of putting on new gloves says
that one should see to it that they
are well powdered. Slightly moisten
the thumb and forfinger of one hand
while slipping the fingers of the glove
far the other hand into place. Never
try to insert all fingers at once. First
turn back the glove, leaving the thumb
on the outside until all the fingers are
well into the tips of the glove fingers,
then insert the thumb and adjust well
at the wrist. If the glove is not thor
oughly drawn on the first time it will
never look trim on the hand.

BILE for them to do their homework

Usually an ugly creation, bought

The chief advantage is that 1t does
not show the dirt. The dirt Is there,
however.
Wives who go into a kitchen and
pantry should provide themselves
with shirtwaist suits of clean looking
material In light shades, which, when
soiled, would show 1t, and be sent to

short sleeves and Dutch neck, and at
least three inches from the floor.
These are no more difficult to get

Cotton slippers.

Bedroom slippers for summer wear
are sometimes knitted In mercerized
crochet cotton, which may be bought
In all colors.
They are, of course, not nearly so
warm as slippers of wool yarn and,
when knitted on steel kneedles, they
are firm and durable.
Mercerized cotton is very inexpen.
sive and very pretty. In fact, the fin
lshed slippers are so much like silk
that It seems impossible that they are
not made of that expensive material.
The work. too. is nice. for there are
no loose threads about cotton to get
caught on the sharp needles-as yarn
when knitted on steel sometimes does.

latter part Of last week, and the wori
of placing it will be rushed.
Mr.. Martin states that it is believed
thae they can get the mill in oper'

When it is started it will be run to
its capacity throughout the season,
as there is a big demand for alfalfa
meal all over the country.
Last week the Dodge City mill
refused to accept an advance order
for 1000 tons of alfalfa meal, the
owners OF the mill believing that
they can get better price on the
market, as the meal is ready for

DEFENSE IS on Line THAT
Defendant WAS NOT
RESPONSIBLE FOR
HIS ACTS
WHENHE SHOT DIVORCED WIFE
Case Will go to the Jury Some
Time Tonight. Arguments
Were Made This
Afternoon

The trial of Clarence Burson, for
attempting to kill his divorced wife,
has been on at district court this
week, and the case will 60 to the
jury tonight or in the morning.
On Wednesday evening, June "a,
while Mrs. Burson was walking on
Front street, Clarence Burson shot at
her twice with a Winchester shot
gun. The first shot went wide Of
the mark, but the second inflicted
quite serious flesh wound in one OF
her limbs. It seems that the Win
chester became disconnected at this
time, 80 that it would not work any
more. Clarence then went back
down town and told those he met
that he had shot Mrs. Burson.
Mrs. Burson has partially recov-
cred from her injury, but is still
quite lame.
In the trial the defense made the
plea that the defendant was, at the
time of the shooting, mentally un-
balanced, through the excessive use
Of stimulants, and not responsible
for his acts. A number of the wit
nesses testified that he had not ap :

Christian Church Pastor and Congregation

This Year.

Christian Church Pastor and Congregation
Planning Extensive Improvements For
This Year.
Mr.. Sorey, pastor Of the Christian
church here, with some Of the other
workers Of the church have begun a
campaign for a building fund. It is
the purpose to enlarge the church
building to considerable extent and
il is their desire 10 have the work
completed within the coming year.
An addition on the south Of the pre-
sent building is part Of the plan.
II the plans being talked Of are
carried out successfully, it will be a
new departure in church work in
Dodge City. Mr.. Sorey believes in
working with the young people and
attracting them to the church. He
likes to provide amusement for the
boys and at the same time keep them
in healthy moral atmosphere. It
is understood that part Of the plans
in view at present is to make the
church more Of general head
quarters for the young people and
this is certainly wise plan. Mr..
Sorey's Sunday school class Of boys
Of under sixteen years Of age, are
among the first to help on the church
enlargement fund. This class has
pledged $25. toward the fund and
the boys Of the class are among the
enthusiastic supporters Of the plans
for the future.
