THE liking for feather trimmings
keeps growing, and manufacture
ers keep pace with 1t by turning
out more remarkable feather
work than has ever been shown In
the past, What with color combina-
tons made possible by "willowing"
ostrich, and the furore which has de-
veloped for the softest and fullest
marabout effects, and combinations Of
ostrich and marabout. there is an un-
ending variety In these plumages. But
1t would seem every bird OF the air
has been called upon for inspiration
II not for feathers. In reality only a
small proportion of the bird tribe are
killed solely for plumage, and many
lovely fancy feathers are made from
the feathers of domestic fowls. These
feathers are In themselves beautiful.
But the demand for variety and the
availability OF feathers from the tur-
key, pigeon. peacock and plain, every
day chicken has made the designer OF
feathers work wonders with their
plumage.
Many of the daintiest and most
fragile looking feathers are really

Some Cardinal Points That Are Sure
to Do In Vogue for the Hats
Of Fall.

II you propose to trim your fall hat
yourself. you cannot 60 far wrong Ii
you place a pert pair OF wings or q
sharp pointed bow directly at the
back. and the back trimming must
show trifie above the high crown,
from front view. Many OF the hats
may be reversed and worn any way
that proves becoming For example.
the smart little hat of velvet with a
rolled brim faced with lighter col-
ored material and having a pair Of
Mercury wings directly In front. might
be whipped around the other way II
one desired. SO that the wings would
come at the back and the hat would
BE- equally modish and correct. This
hat has the very tall pointed tor
pedo" crown and Is perfectly round
AT the base. The crown Is covered
with brown velvet and the wings are
brown with flecks OF coral pink color.
This model promises to be a favorite
with younger women The hat Ia

Millionaire Cranes Expose

After reading Millionaire Cranes
expose" of the large colleges, one is
left with the impression that nearly
all college men are drunkards, or
regular members OF the famous
bread line" of New York city.
This is. unfair to the college-bred
men. who have been successful. prob
ably through the training they re-
ceived. and in justice to them, Mil
lionaire Crane should now take a
census of the successful graduates.
1t probably is true that there is
more or less drinking among college
students. but can the institutions be
blamed for this condition? The col
lege men, who drink, in all probable
lily, would indulge In this habit I'M
der any other conditions.
Mr.. Cranes report undoubtedly
will be of great interest to those who
do not possess college training and
Of greater interest to those who are
contemplating such training.
Despite the conditions Crane com.
plains of. the college bred man, as
q whole, have made better showing
In the business WORTH than the man
handicapped by the lack of proper
training
All college men are Rot drunkards
nor all of them patrons of the
bread line The failures are in
hopeless minority.
Cranes efforts may have a ten
iency to change the conditions
against which he complains. IL what
he says is true. there is no excuse
pf the offenders, for the training
given In the institution should raise
hem above the practice of de-
bauchery.

Welcome. Mr.. Carson.


G, r. Carson, proprietor of the
Carson-Hibbard Mill Company, al
Taylorville, N. G., thinks Cairo
would be a better shipping point for
his business than the North Care
lima city, and he proposes TO remove
his grist mill TO this city. provided
the Commercial Club will agree 10
pay the expenses incurred in remov-
ing the machinery.
On the face Of ii, Mr. Carson i
proposition Is good one, SO far as
CAIRO is concerned, ard II Is very
probable that the Commercial Club
will guarantee the moving expenses.
More than SO persons are employ
ed by Mr.. Carson and he Is confident
that with the facilities offered by
Cairo, he will find II necessary to
double his force in the event his
proposition is favorably received
1t is said that the mill machinery
can be transferred to Cairo at a
trifling cost. and If this is true the
Commercial Club will undoubtedly
bring MIR. Carson to Cairo.
The Commercial Club has done ex-
cellent work in attracting new in
dustries to Cairo and its members
are to be commended for their eff
forts. The Sears-Roekuck factory is
one of the big things obtained
through the work Of the organize
ton and it also has many other
achievements to its record.
