One of the smaller mushroom shapes
of rough straw braid in a deep violet
color was faced with silk of the same
shade. A three-yard chiffon veil of pale
lavender was folded across the front of
the hat. the ends hanging at either side
of the back, and a loose strip being al
lowed to fall over the brim edge to
serve as a veil over the face. The folds
of chiffon were held fatty to the hat
by means of two immense cabachons
made of the violet straw braid, and
when the hat was donned the veil ends
were brought around and tied in a bow
under the chin.

history Of the Medical school the ex.

The occasion was one for the com

were Assistant Secretary Of the In

BLOW TO THE TOWN
PROSPECTIVE REMOVAL OF BIG
MILL FROM SLEEPY EYE.
Local Jealousy Had Something to Do
With It's Troubles; Lesson Can Be
Taken to Heart By People of Man
kato; Stand By Home Industries;
Boost Them All.

From Tuesdays Daily.
"What it means to town to have
its principal industry shut up or moved
away is likely to be realized pretty
keenly in the village of Sleepy Eye,
said Mankato gentleman today.
"Some little time since the Sloppy
Eye Milling company became involved
and went into the hands of receiver.
At the time Il newspaper commenting
upon the situation, gave as one OF the
reasons that local jealousy and i'll
feeling had contributed materially to-
ward bringing about this unfortunate
state of affairs.
"Thc Minneapolis Journal says that
practically the entire office force OF
the company will now be moved to
Minneapolis and that it is quite likely
that the mill will be taken down and
moved to that city.
1T says that this means an ire
parable loss to Sloppy Eye of many
thousands of dollars annually. Free
mail delivery will unquestionably be
discontinued and receipts at the post
office 90 down rapidly after the re-
moval

''Should the mill be removed, the ono
else to build up the town and has made
the name of Sleepy Eye known all
over the country, will be thing of
the past so far as Sleepy Eye is con-
ccrned.
"Thc loss to the village cannot be
estimated and the business of the town
will certainly 60 down rapidly. 1t is
a very striking object lesson to other
towns and villages which do not ap
preciate the Importance of local in
dustries and which do not give them
a local patronage at all commensurate
with their worth to their localities.
Should Take Lesson to Heart.
''There are people in Mankato who
can take this lesson to heart. a
number of local industries are not
patronized as they should be. With
our own mill putting out II flour abso'
lutely superior to any brand on the
market, some people are still patronl-
ling outside mills although each sack
puchase is distinct blow to Man
kato.
Dealers and consumers should think
of this when buying goods away from
home when better product at the
same money can be obtained from
home manufacturers. Our candy fac
tories, our packing house and knitting
mills all come in the same class and
| all suffer in the same way.
''Mankato people would do well to
think this matter over seriously when
tempted to patronize outside nlanufac-
turers to the detriment of home fac
tories and dealers"

crimes that they were convicted OF
Bender was the first one up. His case
had some mitigating circumstances
that appealed to the sympathy of the
court. and he got off with very light
sentence. He was charged with at
tempting TO pass Il forged check, and
pleaded guilty.

care to add anything, and Judge Pau
said that he felt like being lenient, it
being the mans first oflense. He sen

it would have been necessary to nave
