HIS ADVANTAGE.

A witty lawyer, whose ability
brought him to the front rank in his
profession, ultimately became a men,
ber of parliament. In the course of a
debate on one occasion he consider
ably angered a member of the op-
posite party.
The latter jumped to his feet and
exclaimed angrily: "The honorable
member for x as every one knows,
has rooms to let in his upper story"
The lawyer merely smiled as he
replied: True, l have rooms to let,
but there lies the difference between
the honorable member for Z and
myself. Mine are furnished" It'd

AUTO PRICES
Expected To Take A Drop Before
Very Long

Lookout for some genuine surpris-
es this fall in the prices of motor
cars" remarked local auto enthusi.
ast to Banner man Monday. "The
prices on all the standard make cars
are going to be considerable less than
this past year and every car is going
to be better car than it ever hns
been before. Not only will prices be
lower but the equipment will be more
complete, longer wheel bases, and
many improvements. l am informed
that one standard make of machine
misjudged the public this past year
and has 1000 cars left on its ware
room floors. Some of the big mail
order houses are said to have bought
much of this left over supply. The
result is going to be perceptible
drop in auto prices for next year, and
the cars will be more perfect than
ever, too

row will nominate a state ticket and
members of the legislature and ten
representatives in Congress. Nomi-
nations are equivalent to election.
The primaries will determine
whether former Governor Hoke Smith
or present Governor Joseph NJ. Brown
shall be the next governor. The con-
test has been an extremely bitter
one with former Congressman Thom-
as S. Watson, the erstwhile Populist
leader, looming up as one of the DOM
inant factors. 1t is generally con-
ceded that the result of the primaries
will mean the political annihilation
of Watson or his elevation to greater
power than he has yet welded in the
Georgia Democracy.
Watson has refrained from taking
any active or prominent part in
the bitter fight between Smith and
Brown for the governorship. He has
contented himself with waging a
fierce warfare against some of the
Democratic candidates for Congress.
All of the ten members of the Georg-
la delegation in Georgia are candi-
dates for denomination. Watson Is
endeavoring to prevent the return Of
five members of the delegation. They
are Congressman Hardwicke of the
Tenth district, Howard Of the Eighth,
Edwards of the First, Livingston OF
the Fifth, and Bartlett Of the Sixth
district. In his contest against the
five congressman Watson has been
speaking for the other candidates and
in several instances he has met Hard
wicke and other candidates in joint
debate.

There is but one sure way to beat it..

them by electing 81 Democrats to
congress from Ohio this year. For

TIPS FOR HOME
DRESSMAKERS.
II Patterns Bother You Cut
One For Yourself.

Although there are many good pat
come pretty close to actual measure
ments, still there are some who con-
tinue to have difficulty in getting their
clothes TO fit. If you find after cutting
out your waist from the paper pattern
you have purchased that you must cut
here, take up there and shave out the
armholes the best plan to adopt is to
cut out waist from some cheap ma
terial or some old stuff that you may
have around the house. In cutting out
this waist cut 1t perfectly plain, allow
ing an inch tuck to be stitched down
about three inches alongside of the
armhole. Now proceed to fit this per-
fectly, making the needed alterations.
Then when you have finished this
much cut oqt pattern from good, stiff
paper, allowing three-eighths of an
inch for seams, also an extra half inch
for closing in the back or front, which
ever you may do. If you close in the
front do not use the half inch in the
back, and vice versa. Yet another way
Is to cut II pattern from an old bodice
that fits well, having first ripped 1t up.
Ii the sleeves bother you by being
too long, too short or not large enough
around the arm try the same method.
cutting a pattern for shirt waist
sleeve and one for dressier waists
The skirt. too. might be handled in the
same way-that is. for good plain
gored skirt, In tucking material for
sleeves and waist always tuck first and
cut out afterwaro.
You will find the above advice very
helpful and the saving of great many
minutes that would otherwise go to
fitting. With these patterns fitting you
perfectly you can go ahead with your
cutting and sewing together, trying on
only for draping, trimming and gen.
eral effect and finishing up In half the
time 1t no doubt took You before, OF
course this applies to ordinary bodices,
which just now are used for lluings
and Foundations

A cozy, Dainty OUTING Coat.

~ So<Sp DdiftJ SutiH9 Sodt.
OF course the truly athletic girl will
merely sniff at the very idea Of an
outing coat being dainty. And it is
rather more for the maiden who strolls
or drives in lingerie frocks than for
the sister in trotteur skirts and high
laced boots.
1t is a new coat, with all the nov

to make It popular. 1t is made Of
white Japanese silk both inside and
out and carefully interlined with soft.

that it will wash beautifully, which
would obviate its one possible draw

SOME MORE EXPERIENCE.

No claim is made that Cox and
Burton selected Granville w. Mooney
as their candidate for secretary of
state because of his experience" in
that office. On the contrary, Mooney
made himself acceptable to the g.o.p.
bosses because of his experiences"
as speaker of the lower house of the
state legislature.
1t was Mooney who brought the
taft program" from Washington to
Columbus at the opening of the sess-
ion this year. 1t was Mooney who
guided and directed the opposition
to Governor Harmon's administration
that cropped out on the Republican
side of the legislature throughout the
session.
AS dictator to the house Repub-
lican majority it was MONEYS Eek

OPENING
OF The Knox County Teach
Gf'S Institute
At High School Auditorium
Monday Morning

Monday mornings session of the an
nual institute of the Knox County
Teachers association, which is being
held In the high school auditorium,
was opened with devotional exercises
conducted by President r. A. Knox
Of Fredericktown. After singing, in
charge OF Mrs. Iva Sproule Baker,
Supt. James M. Coughlin Of Wilkes
barre, Pa, was introduced and gave a
talk on "The Revival of the Art of
Teaching" 1t was greatly enjoying.
He said that, although it would
seem from his subject as If teaching
had fallen into passive state, there
never was time when so much good
teaching was done as at the present
time. But the public mind now centers
more on the organizer than on the in
dividual teacher and looks upon the
school as an organization. More at
tention should be paid to the individ.
ual teacher. Efficiency is required,
not only in certain grades of the
schools, but in every one. One of the
chief aims of education should be to
teach self helpfulness, this merging
into self-support. The real teacher
strives to develop those qualities in
the pupils that tend to make good cit
liens.
After a short intermission, Prof.
F. A. Barbour of Ypsilanti, Mich, gave
talk on Qualifications Necessary
for Success in Teaching" He said
that there are certain personal quail
ifications necessary for success apart
from knowledge Of books. These are
honesty, qualities necessary to secure
good order, patience and enthusiasm.
When the noon adjournment took
place one hundred and seventy-five
teachers had enrolled.
