The cigar stores and billiard
halls of Missouri Valley, have
been served with notices to the
effect that on and after Janu-
airy 18th, yesterday, shall not
allow games of chance or cards
to be played, wherein the loser
pays for the game and the win
ner takes anything of value.
This means that the pool halls
will be pretty nearly put out of
business, and the cigar stores
wherein card games have here
tofore been drawing business,
will be nothing doing. While
card games have been played
here for years, it seems that
it will be a thing of the past.
With the saloons closed and
these other places of business
practically so, the town will be
rather quiet.

The Next Debate

The Council Bluffs high
school and the Mo Valley high
school will meet in joint debate
at Mo Valley one week from
next Friday evening, Jan. %.
The question for discussion n
the one just recently debated
by these schools. 1t will he
remembered that Council
Bluffs on last Frilay evening
won the negative side from Red
Oak, and that Mo Valley won
the affirmative side from Deni-
son. This debate will be one
of the most important ones in
the series-the school winning
will be we'll started toward the
district championship. The
patrons and those interested in
the work should not fail to hear
this debate as it gives an oppor-
tunity to hear the home team
against an outside team.

Officers of Swell Guards Must Miss
Gay Season, Being Sent to
the Unruiy Ouchy.

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 27.-The
threatening situation in Finland has
spread dismay In st. Petersburg So
ciety, owing to the prospect of the
officers of the crack regiments of
the guard being called upon to pass
teh winter In bleak barracks in
Finland. instead of participating in
the gayeties attending the return
Of the court. Word has been passed
to the officers of seven elite regi-
ments to hold themselves ready for
winter campaign.
A prominent Finnish official said
today that open resistance to Rus
sia's demand for an annual mill
tary contribution by Finland Is out
of the question. He believes there
will be simply a passive refusal to
appropriate money and that little
Roadway will be made in collecting
the amount until that work Is
placed In the hands OF Russians.

Girls will declare that they do

for whom they every instant are

silence, for whose favor, II they
are religious, they are beseeching
their patron saint.
They will purposely and obvious
ly keep out of his way, and when
they meet him will be chilling and
Indifferent of behavior, and even
display open preference for an
.other.
Yet the initiated In the ways Of
love know that here. too, are the
signals of love as taught by the
same feminine instinct which
teaches the bird to lead passer-
by away from her nest. an arrant
deception which deceives no one.

The baby too heavily clothed
and kept in state Of perspiration
from fall till spring is the one
which soonest dwindles.
The extra shawl about the baby
does far less to keep him well
than little forethought on the
matter of draughts. The floor
draught is ever present. The best
place for baby is not between a
crate and a door. 1t Is a good
plan to spread rug or quilt for
baby to play upon, but creeping
sizes need to be watched, for they
prefer cold tile hearths and
draughty irgon registers in their
hours of ease.
1t is the hot and steamy kitchen

KINDERGARTEN VISIT

Miss Golden Rod was. all dress

She came dancing down the street
to the yard where Miss Purple AS
ter was waiting for her at the gate,
and together they went to call on
Mr.. Sun Flowers kindergarten
class.
The school was down street only
little way, and when they arrived
Mr.. SunFlower nodded his head
very pleasantly as he greeted his
callers. He did have to stoop a
little to shake hands because he
was so very tall.
Then he turned to his pupils,
who were mostly Mrs. Morning
Glory's children, and asked the
Glory girls, who had on their
pretty pink, white and purple
striped dresses, to form in one
line, and the Glory boys, who
had on their white suits, to form
another line. for marching up the
line fence. They counted one and
two, left and right, just as you
kindergarten children do, clapping
their hands to keep time and
marching in two straight rows up
AND down. =
Then they danced and marched
in circles, and finally curtesied to
the visitors and took their seats.
Miss Aster thought they march
ed so well that before she went
home she complimented them and
invited them all to come over to
her yard some day to picnic,
which of course delighted the
kindergarten class very much in
deed
