BE BLUE THIS FAll-BUT NOT
TOO BLUE

Grace VI. Gould, writing the fashion
talk in the September Woman's Home
Companion, says that blue is to be the
fayorite color this fall. She adds:
Don't regard the choosing Of a
color for your autumn costume as a
trivia! matter. Colors are not always
what they seem. They have traits
that are anything but dependable.
There is the blue: that seemingly,
staunch, old reliable shade. Just look
out for it. 1t may make you happy
and fashionable in the daytime, but
at night you may be bluer than you
want 10 be"

What about the Sinai corn con-
test? "To be or not to be, that's the
question But why not to be? The
corn contest has been a great success
for two successive seasons and from
some of our best farmers comes ex.
pressions Of belief that there will be
as much good corn this year as there
was last. If this be true there can
be no doubt about the result Of an
other corr contest in Sinai this year.
Let a meeting of the business men
be held TO talk the matter over and
then go ahead with the band wagon.
Our corn contests of former years
have been the admiration of the
whole country around us, and they
have given us too much valuable ad-
yertising to let them be dropped. The
Signal believes that with the ex-
perience We have had we could get
up the most successful contest we
ever held. Let's not neglect to inn
prove the opportunity.

wholly unexpected as up to the time
that Harris slipped over the finishing

of the fight.
At the Clinton A. c. the referee
