Miss Russell, one Of THE finest I'M

her a set of three reels, each Of which
will represent her in her work of lead
ing roles for the film company.
The method of taking these moving

expressions and other interpretations
of fine art and skilled acting, which
have made her one of the most fam

the square mile OF territory over
which he rules. In addition to his
duties as a magistrate he is required
to attend probably five hundred public
and semi-public dinners, balls, recep-
tons and meetings of various kinds
during the year he spends in the high
office. For these duties he receives a
salary equal to that Of the president
of the United States and twice as
much as that of the prime minister Of
Great Britain.
Perhaps 1t is as we'll that the lord
mayor nowadays does not possess the

LORD MAYOR
ELECTED TODAY

Merchant Goes Through the
Customary Solemn
Farce.

NOT CHOSEN BY PEOPLE

LONDON, Sept. 2s.--Having been
an alderman for thirteen years and
filled the office OF sheriff for one term
Sir Thomas Boor Crosby, wealthy
merchant and financier, today went
through the solemn farce OF being
elected Lord Mayor of the city Of Lon
don. He will be formally installed in
office on November 9, when the time
honored pageant known as the Lord
Mayors show" will take place.
Unlike all other great municipalities
London's lord mayor is not chosen by
the people. though there was a time
Some 300 or more years ago-when
they really were elected by the citi-
zens. But the aldermen who are elect
ed for life, decided that a position SO
exalted as that of lord mayor should
not be thrown open to outsiders and
made dependent on popular favor. So
they fixed things up so that every al
derman, If he live long enough, is as
sured of becoming lord mayor when
his turn comes. When Sir Thomas
vesey Strong was elected last year,
Sir Thomas Crosby was next" and
now it is his turn to take the civic
chair.
The system pleases the aldermen
and does not make much difference
to anybody else. The office of Lord
Mayor has long since been shorn OF
its once great powers and has be.
come mere figurehead billet. though
1t is invested with more fictitious
dignity than any other post in Eng
land. No more violent contrast is to
be found the world over than that
existing between the various duties
of the Lord Mayor. Theoretically, at
least, the king of Great Britain and
Ireland and emperor of India cannot
enter the city of London without his
consent. Yet he spends considerable
part of each day dispensing justice
upon inebriates and other petty Of

CLINTON MARKET
rs POPULAR
Details Of How the Plan Worked Out
With Hurried Prepa-
rations.

Clinton had been noting how some
of the other Iowa cities enthused over
the public market, and she went to
work with her characteristic energy
and created one over night, SO to
speak. Evidently, some very import
ant preliminaries We're overlooked,
and the cooperation of the gardeners
and farmers was overlooked, and
hence the Clinton market does not
seem to have been all that the Gin
ton folks pictured unto themselves
Perhaps the hucksters Slipped one
over" on the good Clintonites. The
Clinton Herald discourses upon the
plan and it's doubtful success In Gin
ton, as follows:
That there is demand for a pub
lie market place was demonstrated by
the considerable number of people
who flocked to the two market places
Saturday morning. And among those
who went with their market baskets
to see what the hucksters and market
gardeners had to offer were very
many who might not be expected to
have a strong desire to save on the
cost of living, but prompted more
largely by desire to get produce
and vegetables fresh from the pro.
Queer.
That there was much disappoint
ment there is no mistaking In the
] first place but few wagons were lined
up at the curb, and the assortment OF
the offerings was not as great as had
/ been anticipated. Further than that
/ the prices were but little, if any, low
er than the same articles could have
been purchased at the grocery stores
| People are not going to public
market and carry their produce and
vegetables home unless they can pro
| cure the same at cost considerably
under the prevailing prices at the
grocery stores. There is absolutely
no question about this. What is more
| the producers can we'll afford to sell
| at the public market at prices from
I 90 to so per cent cheaper than the
same things can be purchased at the
stores.
Judging from Saturday the people
! have shown that they will patronize
i public market. For In addition tc
the considerable number who did go

were but awaiting the experience OF
their friends and neighbors before
going themselves But the co-opera
ton of the hucksters and gardeners
also is necessary. While the market
this fall may have a somewhat vary
ing success, 1t is believed that If those
who have been instrumental in start
ing the market will secure the names
of the gardeners and producers and
/ invite them to meeting to be held
in the city hall some time within the
next month or six weeks, and go over
the entire matter very carefully and

understanding Of what is necessary,

Top-Work VIII be De-
Iayed Several Days.

With rise Of two feet during the
night and the river stage still stead
lily creeping up. the Water Power
company today opened up the Golfer
dam on the Illinois side of the Mis-
sissippi and permitted the impounded
waters to flood the Enclosure for the
first time since the construction work
began.
The river gave no evidence OF going
down this morning and the predic-
ton of further rise caused the COM
pany's men on the Illinois division to
take the action which they did. II
the water was allowed to food over
the walls of the cofferdam it would
have come in with a rush and done
more damage than 1t will do under
the present plan.
AS it Is the water came in slowly
and has flooded the big cofferdam with
quite good depth of water. What
delay will be occasioned is not known.
If the river recedes during the night
the company will be able to pump out
the cofferdam Immediately, this work
consuming several days.
This is the first time that elements
have seriously interferred with con-
struction work. The company has
been expecting these floods at any
time and was not greatly surprised
They claim foods are less expensive
than to build the cofferdams higher
than they are at present.
A small cofferdam on the Illinois
side was flooded during the early
pier work there, but today is the first
instance of water coming over one of
the large cofferdams.

Collars Of MIX.

Sounds queer, doesn't it? But some
body over in Europe thought of way
to utilize goats milk, and these collars
are the result. They are said to be
quite as useful as the collars of cellu-
loid. In addition. they are less bright
in finish, so that they are in this way
somewhat of an Improvement over the
old celluloid collar.
The whey is separated from the
curds and the curds are then put
through process which results in this
substance resembling celluloid.
Walters, coachmen. tradesmen and
other folk on the other side of the At.
lantic use them extensively.
