choice to fancy heifers at $5.35 to

the decline, good ones now bringing

The Old-Fashioned Bonnet.

(By George Il. Langdon.)
How dear to my heart are the scenes
of my Childhood
The old fashioned bonnets our
girls used to wear;
NO spears. fierce and warlike, nor
birds from the wildwood,
NO murd'rous reflections those
bonnets did bear
The wide. spreading hat-rims that
thrust you aphelian,
The peach-basket headgear with
ratty. puff'd hair,
May be "all the rage" la mode,
not plebian;
But give me the hats that the
girls used to wear
The neat, modest bonnets, the rib
bon-tied bonnets,
The plain. spearless bonnets that
girls used to wear.

University Civics Club Prominently
Mentioned In OutlOOk.

That the work Of the university
Civics club is attracting wide atten-
ton is shown by the fact that this
club is given a prominent place in
an article on college Men in Practi-
cal Politics." by Gregory Mason,
which appeared in the Outlook for
September 9. The article speaks of
the local club as one which has ac-
complished things. 1t notes with ap-
prevail the character of the papers
presented by the members of the or
ganization and the fact that they have
been published by the state press.

The cost of the stock and outstand-

The cost of the stock and outstand-
ing obligations amount to about
$ 5000. Some $4,000 worth of stock
was contracted for by students and
members of the faculty last fall but
not all of 1t has been paid for. &.
The store Is run on a purely CO.
operative basis. The stockholders
are guaranteed w per cent divi-
dends by the university. This is the
only returns stockholders receive ex-
cept ID they share with all purchas-
ers. With every purchase, the buyer
receives a coupon which entities him
to a pro rata share of the profits over
and above the guaranteed dividends.
The plan of sharing the profits at
the close of the year was considered
more feasible than reducing the price
of the books, as this arrangement
will insure a safe margin for the
stockholders.
