the outlook was that the com

tions now is little complication
over right-of-w matters in Gar
den City, where a ditch propos
ition must be settled by the city
council before track laying can
be commenced. The company
already has material at hand to
commence the work, and as soon
as the final location of the Santa
F'e crossing is determined suff-
cient track viii be built to ac-
commodate cars bringing in rails
and ties so that it will not be
necessary to handle them twice.
With yard room of it's own the
company can push to early com
pletion the fifteen miles already
graded, and when that is done
money will be available for work
all along the line, and the con-
tractors are in position to crowd
the construction to the utmost
limit as soon as the first section
has been completed. - Ness

Rev Allison and family left
yesterday morning by auto for
their new home in Wa-Keeney
After shipping their goods and
vacating the parsonage they
were the guests of Mr.. and Mrs.
Geo. Kinsbury until they left.
Rev. Allison and his wife made
many firm friends while here
who regret to lose them very
much. We congratulate Wa
Keeney on it's good fortune in
securing this excellent family,
and hope everyone of it's citizens
will give them the support they
so justly deserve in their work
for the Master and the saving of
human souls. During his stay
in Norton, Rev. Allison, doubled
the membership of the church.
He is man who dares to sup
port truth and right in the face
of any opposition. Norton
people will remember during
his stay here how he firmly
opposed a worldwide evangelist
who had strayed from the path
of truth and right and in his
downward course was supported
by five of the local ministers,
and there were but two, Rev.
Allison, and Rev Drummond of
the Christian church, who stood
firm for truth and justice and
opposed sin in a pastor as quick
ly as they would have done in
any one else Norton Telegram.

To Get Correct Lengths for Skirts.
After the skirt is properly finish
ed and stitched and the band firmly
put in place try It on. Now take a
tape measure and pin it around the
hips, tightly, SO 1t will not slip, and
an equal distance, at every point,
from the waist line. Then carefully
apart, all around the skirt, Just be-
low the measure. Before removing
the skirt, ascertain the needed num-
ber OF inches In length from the
measure to the bottom of the skirt.
Then, after removing the skirt, run
a thread around in place Of the pins.
as they are liable to drop out.
Begin at the front, measuring with
a tape measure from the line at the
hips to the bottom Of the skirt the
required number of inches all around
the same. For example, II the de-
sired length OF skirt when finished
is thirty eight inches in front, and
tine measure is placed six inches from
the waist line, the required line of
measure from line at hips in to the
bottom edge of the skirt would be
thirty-two incnes.
Then measure thirty-two inches or
whatever number OF inches is re-
quired, from the line at hips to the
bottom Of the skirt, placing pins at
intervals all around. Now crease
TIE OOOds Whara the Dfna have haep
placed, being careful to give the
right curve; then haste the hem in
place and try on the almost finished
skirt. II this direction has been
carefully followed you will scarcely
have a change to make, and this
method is 20 easy and so quick COM
pared to the old wey.
