plant. So successful did the venture
prove that when the city decided to
lay asphalt pavements some years
later 1t was decided to install mu-
nicipal asphalt plant and the many
miles of pavement in this city have
been laid by It.
Trouble with the Winnipeg Electric
company, which controls the street
railway franchise. gas, electric light
and power franchise, resulted In the
city voting $s,000.000 for municipal
power plant. Out on the Winnipeg

completion of this plant and the pros
poets that the city would build its
own street railway system, led the
Winnipeg Electric company to sell out
to the city. The purchase price is
$1S,000,000.

satisfied and all went well.
But the boys grew up and neglected
to impress on their younger brothers

did not scamper home at the sound,
and the people began to think little
of it.
Meantime the housewives had be.

and one by one the men grew accus-

city comes out OF his pocket almost

the whistle.

Hand kerchlef Neckwear.

Many Of the smart styles of sum-
mer neckwear may be copied by the
use OF handkerchiefs. and for those
who have a talent for the needle the
task is quite simple. The very sheer
handkerchief with the fine scalloped
buttonholed edge make pretty sailor
collars, and an extra handkerchief
can be used for the stylish turnback
cuffs. Another style OF handkerchief
which can be converted into pretty
neck accessories is the one with the
plain colored border. A dark blue lin
en- border with touch of red makes
a pretty combination. The sheer
cross barred handkerchiefs are lovely
for the wide square collars and cuffs,
while the handkerchiefs with cross
bar lines In color are also pretty
when tastefully used.
