Unintentional Oversight.

The write-up in the last issue of the
PLAIN DEALER of the business mems
banquet was made from information
given us by some in attendance, as the
PLAIN DEALER, much to our regret,
was not represented at the banquet,
the writer being detained by unavoid-
able personal matters. AS result,
no mention was made of the interest
ing talk by Frank Huber concerning
the workings Of commercial clubs,
especially the one at Cedar Rapids,
with which he has been familiar. The
writer suggested to the committee
hat Mr.. Huber be asked to speak and
had he prepared the article, Mr.. Huber
would have not been forgotten. A. l..
Peterson also delivered what many
state to be one of the best addresses
of the evening.

New Depot Promised.

During the past few years the busi-
ness men of Cresco, individually and
through the commercial organizations
have urged upon the C. M. & St. p.
officials the need of new passenger
depot for Cresco. and although several
of the officials have visited Cresco and
looked over the proposed sites, no
definite assurance of new depot has
been given until just now.
D. A. Lyons has just received let
ter from J. H. Foster, of Minneapolis,
Asst. Genl. Supt., who was in CrescO
year or more ago in connection with
new depot matters, in which he gives
definite assurance of new depot for
Cresco. writing in part as follows:
"On account of the financial condi-
tious, tho time for presenting the new
plans which had prepared, did not
seem to be favorable but
early this season seemed to be the
opportune time. Crops looked good
and we expected to handle the largest
tonnage of any previous year. Through
South Dakota, however, the crops did
not mature and over a greater portion
of it they are total failure. This is
the case to some extent in North Da-
kota.
However, l made up my mind that
l would present the matter Of better
station ia 'iiities to our General Mana
ger. He tells me that owing to poor
crop conditions that we will not be able
to do anything this year but that
may say to the people that the com.
pany will construct new station build
ing at Cresco next spring.

This is to certify that whatever l
may have said with reference to Ed.
Schneider being implicated in the steal
ing that was done from my store at
Saratoga, Howard county, Iowa, dur
ing the months of April or May, 1911,
was based on a conversation had
with Gus Bedtka, in which conversa-
ton he made some remarks which led
me to believe that Ed. Schneider had
something to do with said stealing,
but as Gus Bedtka has since made an
affidavit that Ed Schneider had moth
ing to do with said stealing. now say
that have no proof that Ed. Schrei-
ber was implicated in said stealing and
have no reason to believe that he was
implicated in said stealing,

Commercial Club Progress.

AS result of the meeting held or
Monday evening of the committees
having the preliminaries in charge fol
the organization of the proposed Com.
mercial Club, several important steps
! have been taken. Bylaws were framed
which provides for officers, a board
of directors, an executive committee,
and the proper rules for the regula-
tion of such body. The business men
will be solicited for membership, and
it is confidently hoped and expected
that they will secure at least one hun
dred members to begin with. The
question of yearly dues was left open
by the committee to be decided later.
but the dues will range probably from
nine to twelve dollars per member.
Correspondence has already been
opened with commercial clubs in vari-
Gus other towns relative to their plan
of organization and to secure such
other general information as will be of
service to the club here. The com
mittee are also endeavoring to get in
touch with some outside speaker who
is we'll versed on the plan of organiza-
tiOn, who will come to Cresco and dis
cuss the plan before the club members.
The committee, who have the matter
in charge, are making very earnest
efforts to perfect an organization that
will be able to produce results, some
thing that Cresco has crying need
for, and should be aided in their under
taking by the hearty cooperation Of
not only the business and professional
men of our city, but every citizen who
has the welfare of Cresco at heart.

New Creamery Making Butter.

The Cresco Milk Co. commenced re-
ceiving milk last Saturday and al
though they had made no special effort
to secure patrons. many of the stock
holders not being aware Of their open
ing, they have. secured a nice list of
patrons and have made a fair sized
churning each day.
The plant is much larger than the
average run of creameries and is very
complete for butter making but some
of the machinery for casein manufac-
turing has been delayed but it is ex-
pected that this department will be in
operation in about week.
In the boiler and engine rooms an
SO-horse boiler, 3O-horse engine and
steam pump are installed In the
receiving, room are the scales for
weighing and the bottles for samples
for testing. The milk or cream goes
In the receiving vat and from there, if
milk, to the separator. The cream is
all pastuerized, gong from the pas
tuerizer over an apparatus for cooling
by which the heat caused by the pas
tuerization is removed. From the
cooler the cream passes to the agitator
where it is ripened and brought to the
proper temperature for churning. The
churn, one of the latest models, with a
capacity of 1900 pounds. churns. works
and salts the butter. The whey of the
milk that passes through the separator
is conveyed to tank and, with the
buttermilk, will be used for the manu-.
facture of casein, q valuable by-pro-
duct. The manufacture of casein from
buttermilk is secret process known
only to Messrs. Hulls and Thompson.
Excellent water is obtained from
l35 foot we'll. The upper story will be
occupied by their offices, and their
casein machinery. A refrigerating and
ice making plant will be installed in
the near future.
The plant with all machinery in
stalled, represents an investment of
about $1,000, the building costing
about $1,000.
We believe the new creamery is a
good thing for Cresco and surrounding
territory. There has been enough
cream shipped from Cresco to outside
creameries to keep one creamery busy,
and if competition will keep this cream
at home, no Howard county creamery
will be injured by the new one and
every milk producer and farmer will
be benefited.
The members o. the firm extend
cordial invitation to all to call and in
Dpect their creamery and will be glad
TO explain their plan Of operation to
oil dairymen.

Distressing Accident.

The little son of Jack Bloomingdale
was the victim of a most distressing
accident last Sunday. The little fellow
had knife and was cutting toward
him in an endeavor to cut rope, when
the blade slipped hitting the eye. and
cutting into the eye ball. DR.. Hess,
who was hastily summoned, dressed
the wound and bandaged the eye. 1t
is impossible to tell just yet as to how
serious the injury is, there being a
possibility that the sight may be saved.

nr premier James 5. q. MCGOWAN.

Women have been voting in New
South Wales ever since the federation,
ten years ago. there Is no doubt that
their influence has had a marked
change upon our politics, a change for
the better in every way.
The percentage of women voters is
higher than of men voters with us.
Every A~ustralasian woman can talk
politics intelligently, but she's non the
less womanly for that. About rs per
cent. of the m vote is a reflex of
the husbands vote. 1 don't mean that
the husbands dictate to their wives or
that the wives accept their husbands
opinions blindly. But having the same
interest and the same ~prejudices, they
naturally vote for the same man. It's
the other % per cent. of the woman's
vote that is the strong moral influence
in Australasia.
Where a woman votes differently
from her husband she votes better than
her husband. The good woman doesn't
accept the necessary evil' in politics.
She doesn't say Of a candidate, as a
man does sometimes, Hes a rascal,
but we can't do any better" She asks
questions. She asks. rs he a good
man? Is he a good husband. a good
father, does he lead a decent private
life?'

There are no more womanly women

elections myself. Both my daughters
and all my six sons are voters, and
even politically we are a very united
family, as we are all strong members
of the labor party. But my sister and
her husband vote different tickets.
Husbands and wives do not differ on
politics half so much as on more do
nestle matters. 1t makes a wife more
interesting to her husband to be able
to discuss public affairs with her. With
us a man doesn't have to go to the
corner saloon for his politics.
Perhaps the most marked effect of
woman suffrage is the attitude of
women toward each other. They are
so much broader and more sympathetic
and loyal. The woman's vote has
brought better factory laws for women,
better regulations for the closing of
shops.

Wants to Prevent Wrinkles.

Dear Miss Doom.
Please give me a cheap and reliable
remedy for wrinkles and oblige, yours,
l..
Lines in the face mark the footprints
of time, and the sorrows and joys that
the years have brought. Those who
have risen above their roubles and
smiled in spite of them, are the mes
whose faces stay young and beautiful,
despite the lines. Those who have al
lowed every emotion of anger, dis
trust and sorrow to get uppermost
will mirror these feelings in the face,
and these lines are far from beautiful.
So-don't worry over the wrinkles If
they prove to your friends that your
character has been strong enough to
fight the battle of life to conquer. And
If your wrinkles are those OF the dis
contented, pessimistic Pathfinder, sim
ply reform. Look on the other side of
the clouds-youIl find a bright lining If
you just will. There never was a woe
that could not be lessened by a brave
spirit. Cold cream applied regularly
every night after bathing the fac is a
harmless remedy and does much
toward keeping the skin soft and fresh.

A Black Wolfe Dress.

Dear Miss Margery Doom:
Is 1t proper for a girl of II to wear
a black wolfe dress? If so, what colcr
should the slip be? Is 1t proper 20
wear hose to match each Dress when
patent slippers are worn? is a black
hat OF fine straw trimmed in v%iolets
all right for a girl to wear If the
shape is becoming? Is 1t right for a
girl to shake hands with a boy she has
not seen for a long time? Should she
offer her hand first? Yours,
BROWN EYES.
II you already have the dress, wear
it, but don't buy it if you have not
already done so. Wolfe is entirely too
old for you. If you have it, make it
look as youthful as possible. Use a
black and white large checked silk lin
ing, or green and blue check. Yes, and
also plain black. Yes, but the combina-
ton is old enough for her grandmother.
Take the violets off and trim it in a
large ribbon bow. Certainly, and the
girl should always offer her hand first.

"A SMART AUTUMN SUIT.

Here is an attractive costume for a
young girl, that is made of a checked
material, with trimming of satin. The
skirt is a novel one, with panel effect
at the sides, and in this instance these
panels have been cut on the Bias. The
little Jacket is jaunty and smart in the
extreme. The big sailor collar Is In
the height of style, and it can be worn
with or without the one of embroid-
cred batiste. Jackets of this sort have
been constantly gaining in favor dur
ing the past season, and are promised
extended vogue throughout the coming
one. Such a suit is admirably adapted
to small women as well as to young
girls, The model will be found appro-
PIRATE for every seasonable material,
and 1t can be treated in a number of
different ways. Velvet and satin as
trimming will be extensively worn, but
for the early season satin is to be pre-
ferred. Such collar and cuffs as these
can be made to match the suit and
trimmed with braid, or they can be
made of white cloth over colored or
fancy material, for white cloth utilized
for trimmings of the kind makes one
of the latest fancies of fashion.
For the 16-year size the jacket will
require "a yards of material 81, 2 yards
