type. These are pretty and always dis

The round Dutch neck, the square

across the base of the throat and is
cut low on the shoulders

ORGANIZE SOCIAL CLUB.
Wolverine and Kearsarge May Have
Modern Club Soon.

Plans are being considered by the
young men of Kearsarge and Wolver-
inc for the organization of an athletic
and social club. Men who are promi-
nent in the affairs Of the community
have been interested in the matter and
Il is probable that a meeting will be
held soon to take definite steps.
The need of such an organization
has been apparent for some time. The
young men of Kearsarge and Wo.ver-
ire have been prominent in the copper
athletic affairs for years.
The baseball and cricket teams have
ranked close to the top and in other
sports. Kearsarge and Wolverine have
enviable records. The young men have
long been DESTROYS of securing n club
house where they may indulge in in
door sports and the plans now pro-
posed will undoubtedly meet these re-
duirements If the club becomes a reali-
ty.
The project being considered also
provides for social club features which
might be enjoyed by the older resi-
dents of Wolverine and Kearsarge as
well as by the young residents. From
the enthusiasm manifested among
those who are interested in the pro-
iect. it is almost certain that the first
meeting will be largely attended and
that the campaign for the organlza
ton will be inaugurated under auspic-
ious circumstances.

DARING DAYLIGHT RoBBER
Said He Entered Home Of Uriah
Blight on Portland Street.


The police officers OF Calumet and
the county officers have been unsuc-
cessful so far i'm their efforts to ap-
prehend the alleged daring burglar
who is said to have entered the home
of Uriah Blight on Portland street
noon and ransacked the house. Ac-
cording to the story told by Miss Lot
tie Blight, the intruder was an ex-
ceptionally large man, over six feet
tall, and had a black mustache. His
eyes were covered with automobile
goggles. Miss Blight told the police
officers that after striking her with the
butt end of a revolver and rendering
her unconscious, the man bound and
gagged her, after which he went
through the house.
According to the girls story, she
was alone in the house about 2:45
o'clock when the stranger entered. She
was engaged In ironing. He demande !
money or valuables and she threatened
TO throw fiat iron at him, whereup-
on he struck her Neighbors were at
tracted by Miss Blights groans about
twenty minutes later ana released her.
She was bound TO n gas range with a
clothesline and had n gag over her
mouth.
The girl gave the officers an accur-
ate description of the man and both
the local and county officers made
every effort to apprehend him last
evening without success. They are
conducting further investigation today.
