The kickers on the farm are not
so hard to get along with as the
kickers in town. On the farm there
is the kicking COW, and our long
cared friend, the mule. while in
town there is the old mossback,
who wants all the municipal i'm
provements without paying for
them. The COW may be sold for
beef, the mule traded for a shot
gun. but nothing but a funeral will
get rid of the town kicker.-La-

The Republicans in the house
voted almost solidly against the
submission of the prohibition
amendment and every Republican
in the senate save one voted for
the tax rider amendment that kill
ed the bill. The Democrats in the
house voted almost solidly for sub
hitting the prohibition amendment
and a majority of the Democrats in
the senate voted to submit it with
out the tax rider. If the Republi-
cans who favor the submission of
the amendment can get any salts
faction out of the attitude of their
party representatives and senators
on the question they will have to
twist the facts or fall back on blind
partisanship. The vote clearly
shows that the Republican whip
was used effectively in both
branches of the legislature to defeat
the measure Gallatin Democrat.

This is May 81. 1909, and that
means only a few days until Sun
day, May 30th.
What if any concerted action is
to be taken? Who has enough in
terest in the past to make it worth
the while to take hold now and
make some arrangements for that
day? The remains of the soldiers
you protested to love are there,
many of them by the side of the
citizens.
And do you know that fifteen
of these soldiers were MaSons and
five of them Odd Fellows and the
greater portion of them christians
What will the citizens do, let the
day 90 blank or will you spend a
portion of it with Loved Ones gone
before?

Dr. Sale, in filling the pulpit of

vantage of a suggestion of a reader

opposition to prohibition, declaring
it to be one Of the greatest dangers
confronting the American people
today.

Cay Bathing Caps

VIZ HETHER the bathing cap

something for actual use
seems to be an open question with the
maker. and probably 1t reverts back to
the uncertainty OF the women who
bathe. Examination may. and often
does, reveal q gorgeous surface Of silk
with very little rubber underneath it:
but utility and beauty go hand in hand
IN many OF the most attractive caps.
The gayest of gay headpieces shows a
natural reaction from the fearful-look-
ing shutdown of straw tied under the
chin that made a woman look like q
veritable nightmare afioat. The zap is
a blessed relief. and the ocean is one
Of the few places where actual gaudi-
ness of headgear is not out Of place.
Whereas all bathers looked identical in
that awful straw hat. the kerchief cap

made among the unique colors and
llaids.
Thin silks have taken first place for
the show part of the cap. with rub
ler.Zed surface against the hair.
Perhaps the most useful and easily
adjusted cap, which Is at the same time
attractive, is made Ike shirred dust
cap to fit the head, and fastened over
tbree-cornered piece, suggesting the
bias half Of a silk handkerchief. The
undercap is pulled well down over the
hair and the kerchief is wrapped
round. bandana-iike, and knotted in
front to. cover the very unbecoming
cap.
The same effect is produced by the
separate kerchief worn over an abso-
lutely tight cap OF pure rubber, made
like a taiu-o' -shanter. but having a
band about the forehead. These ker-
chief caps are shepherd plaid, Scotch
plaid, scarlet and many other shades.

this summer frock of dull gray-blue.

evidently were ripped cut. pierced about
two inches apart with large eyelct holes

The soft embroidery cotton used for
the work was an exact match for the
