Prof. J. Emory Shaw, former direc-

of singing and organ instruction at
Paris, Texas, according to reports.
The following is from the Paris
Daily Advocate:
THE Reception by the board of trade
in honor of Prof. Shaw and Mrs. Shaw
at the high school auditorium Tues
day evening was a treat to those who
attended. The program rendered by
these accomplished musicians. the pro-
fessor and his wife, was pronounced
the work of artists Prof. Shaw's per
feet playing proved that his skill. as
a musician has not been exaggerated.
All are delighted that Paris has sd
musical directors. Mrs. Shaw's vocal

appreciation. her voice being one of
the most perfectly trained ever heard
In Paris. The reception was delight
fully informal and Paris people were
glad of the opportunity of meeting Pro-
lessor and Mrs Shaw in this way on
their first appearance here in public"
The people of Paris learned of Prof.
Shaw's ability as a voice instructor
through young ladies' from that town
who had studied with him while in
Christian College. The parents of
these young ladies were so well pleas
ed with their daughters progress that
they influenced the Paris Commercial

A COLLEGE ON UTE PASS.
Aim of Institution to Teach Co.opera.
ton to Men and Women.

One of the most unique colleges in
the world, the aim of which is to teach
practical and theoretical cooperation
in labor, is about to be established on
the summit of Ute Pass, overlooking
Manitou at the little Colorado town of
Crystola.
1t was here that great philanthro-
pist, Henry c. Childs, lived for twenty
five years. evolved his broad ideas of
living and died last February, leav-
ing his estate of 100000 for the fur
therance of the brotherhood idea
among men and women. 1t was not
so much the size of his fortune, but
the size of his idea, that will make
the name of Childs famous in time to
come.
Last Thursday the board of trustees,
five in number, appointed in the will
to carry out the idea of the donor, met
for the first time and will Immediately
proceed in the erection of this college.
1t is not a socialistic idea, but one
based upon the principle of co-opera-
ton. The employees, besides receiv-
ing salaries for their work, participate
in the profits.
The idea has reached it's greatest
development in the British Isles, where
some great societies have been found
ed. 1t is believed by the trustees, all
men of importance and standing, that
contributions will be received from CO.
operative societies in the East as soon
as it's purpose is made known.
Childs was a business man. Thrice
speaker of the lower house of the ILL
nois legislature, he also nominated
Abraham Lincoln for the Senate at
the inception of that famous debat
ing campaign with Stephen A. Douglas.
When Childs came to Colorado he
took up 1000 acres on the summit of
Ute Pass and prospered. He deserted
politics for the broader fields of phil
anthropy.-Denver News.

BOTTLE FLoATED ACROSS SEA
Cast Adrift of the carolinas It Is
Picked Up in the Azores.


Floating sluggishly at the mercy OF
the waves for over three years, a pint
whisky bottle, containing the address
OF William H. Wfndolph, this city,
travelled across the Atlantic Ocean and
was finally picked up off the eastern
coast OF the Azores Islands about five
weeks ago
The hayward travels of the little
bottle are most mysterious. 1t crossed
the Atlantic. or at least reached the
other shore: whether its course was
straight eastward or whether currents
and winds took it miles in detOur be-
fore 1t reached its destination is a sub
ject of conjecture.
On January q: 1907, Mr.. Windolph
on his way to Tampa and Key West
passed down the coast of the Carolinas
in a Merchants and Miners steamship.
the Merrimac. OF North Carolina in
an idle moment he put his card in
whisky bottle, and pushing in the
cork against the rail of the vessel,
tossed it overheard. Until it disap-
peared from sight in the green waves
Mr. WindOlph watched the tiny adven-
turer, never thinking to hear from it
again.
The years passed. and finally three
and one-half years after the card had
been sent out on the sea. a strange
letter came to him from the fishing
firm of Manuel Vasconcelles & Co..
Spain. Within the envelope was the
same card which he had sent out. I'M
stained by the water, uninjured after
its long voyage.
With the card was letter stating
that it had been picked up in a whisky
bottle Off the eastern coast of the
azores, in the Province of Praia, by
one of the crew of the fishing smack
ID. Carlos. DeI.OnZa. captain. The let
ter was in excellent English, but from
the style had evidently been written
by an educated Spaniard. 1t did not
state the exact date of the finding of
the bottle.
Two weeks ago MI. Windolph sent
back, in appreciation. a diamond stick
pin to the finder, and a picture of HIM
self and his business place to each Of
the crew and the captain.-Philadel-

CLOTHING FROM ODD FABRICS
Russians Manufacture Material That
: 10 Put in Fire to. Be Made Clean.

The Russians manufacture fabric
from the fiber of a filamentous stone
from the Siberian mines which is said
to be of so durable a nature that it is
practically indeStructible. The mate.
rial is soft to the touch and pliable in
the extreme, and when soiled has only
to be placed in a fire to be made abso-
lmtely clean.
Iron cloth is largely used today by
tailors everywhere for the purpose of
making the collars of coats set prop,
erly. This cloth is manufactured from
steel wool and has the appearance of
having been woven from horsehair.
Wool not the product of sheep is be-
ing utilized abroad for the making of
mems clothing. This is known as
Limestone WOOL" and is made in an
electric furnace. Powdered limestone,
mixed with certain chemicals, is
thrown into. the furnace, and after
passing through furious air blast, it
is tossed out as fluffy white wool.
Wnen it comes from the furnace the
wool is dyed and made into lengths
like cloth. A pair of trousers or
coat made of this material cannot, it
is claimed, be burned or damaged by
grease and is as flexible as cloth made
Of sleeps wool.
A novelty in dress material for
women is spun glass cloth, which may,
1t is said be had in white, green, lilac,
pink and yellow shades. The inventor
ofsthis fabric was an Austrian, and his
Invention is said to have resulted IN
the production of a material as bright
and flexible as silk. The first lady
tnawear a gown of this material was
of royal rank. It was Of very deli
cate shade of pale lavender, shot with
pink, and its peculiar sheen reminded
her admirers of the sparkle of diamond

Paper clothes were worn by the

serviceable and. much warmer than
those OF cloth. Paper dressing gowns,

June 14th. is Flag Day.

Tuesday, June 14th, is the 133rd
anniversary of the adoption of the
stars and stripes as the flag of the
United States. A bulletin has just
been issued by the American Flag as
sociation calling attention to the day
and urging nationwide observance.
The association, which is composed
of individuals and flag committees
from patriotic societies in the United
States formed in 1897 to promote
reverence for and prevent desecra-
tion of the national emblem, has done
much toward increasing the import
ance of the day. The governors of
many states have by proclamation
called attention to the day and have
invited celebrations of the day, and
mayors in many cities have done like
wise. In many schools in various
parts OF the country patriotic exer-
cises are being arranged for.

MOVED ON BETHANY
A Big Delegation of X. P.'s and the
X. r. Band Attended a Picnic
and Ledge Meeting.

Last Wednesday the Pythians of
Harrison county, Missouri, held
picnic at Bethany, and while the af-
fair was supposed to be for the bene-
fit of the local Harrison county lodges
the Leon boys concluded to surprise.
their Missouri brethren, and they did
it. Over fifty of the Iowa K. P.'s,
accompanied by the K. P. band and
the Leon ball team left here on the
noon train and took the Bethany
boys completely by surprise. The
Bethany Knights were equal to the
emergency and the intruders were
received with open arms and made to
feel at home. Nothing was too good
for the visitors, who keenly enjoyed
the most excellent program provided
for their entertainment.
Some twenty years ago the Leon
lodge went to Bethany and institu-
ted the K. P. lodge at that place, and
there exists a feeling of pride with
our Pythians that Mahaska No. 204
of Bethany, has grown to be the
strongest lodge in all north Missouri.
Amongst other features worthy of
note was the performance of George
Clusters drill team. Their work was
most excellent and was worthy of the
unstinted applause given after each
drill The Bethany lodge conferred
the rank of Page upon thirteen
strangers, the rank of Esquire upon
four Pages and the rank of Knight
upon seven Esquires, lodge closing at
1880 a. m. Thursday morning after
an all nights session. The Leon
crowd returned Thursday afternoon
tired and sleepy and singing the
praises of Bethany, which they
avow is the best town in Missouri
The following knights and members
of the band and ball team were in
attendance:

Decatur County Improved Stock
Breeders Association
The Decatur County Improved St,

The Decatur County Improved Stock
Breeders Association held very in
teresting meeting at the Commercial
Club room at Leon Saturday, June a.,
with a good attendance of members
and visitors. The subject of silos and
feeding ensilage, both in regard to
construction of silos and the economy
OF feeding the corn crop through the
silos to live stock was discussed and
much information gathered on the
subject. The subject for discussion at
the meeting September 3rd, will be
What influence as Environments on
live stock breeding, or can natural
conditions be overcome by selection
and feeding" Mr.. Fred Woolley will
lead in the discussion. 1t is the wish
of the breeders to find out where the
sres come from that have been the
most prepotent in leaving their de-
sirable characteristics on the herds of
this community.
The association voted to give $50
in premiums on live stock exhibits at
the next Farmers Institute, classes to
be arranged at the September meet
ing.
The association was strengthened
by the addition Of several new mem
bers.
We find when soliciting member
ship that a great many people have
the impression that the association is
composed of breeders of registered
stock, which is mistake. There are
already several farmers in the asso-
citation that do not own any pure
bred stock except herd sires.
Every stallion in Decatur county
should be represented in the associa-
ton whether owned by an individual
or company. 1t is also to the interest
OF cattle feeders to become members
and use their influence towards intro
ducing better sires and better meth
DDS of breeding, so that in turn they
will get better class of feeders
which will mean better prices for
their products of the feed yard when
they go to market.

Darwin's Theory Advances.

Mr.. L. R. Butts, who resides on
the old Bellamy place west of town,
reports the arrival of freak colt at
his place last Monday The little fell
low has only two legs, the front pair
being minus. If he lives, and he was
reported as doing well at last ac-
counts, he will be valuable freak,
and may be the progenitor of new
breed of horses. He will surely be a
curiosity if he learns to navigate on
two legs. Local scientists are taking
great interest in the case, holding
that this is an occular demonstra-
ton OF the proof of the correctness
OF Darwin's theory of evolution. The
automobile having about displaced
the four-legged horse, nature sets
about to provide new type, COM
blning the advantages of the old
style horse and an extension step
ladder
