AT LAST! HAREM
SKIRT Is HERE
PARTISAN NOVELTY
MAKES DEBUT IN CALUMET
PROVOKED SMALL RIOTS
ELSEWHERE.

1t is here! No longer need the
style OF their Easter gowns, for the
harem skirt, the very latest. has ar
rived. Two OF those bewitching crea-
tons have made their appearance i'm
Calumet and now that the way Is
clear others may be expected. Both
the Red Front Store and Gately Wig
gins company have received 'em and
while so far as can be ascertained.
this particular style of skirt has not
yet been seen on the streets, il is said
il soon will be. Whether its first APP
pearance in public will be followed by
demonstrations similar to the near
riots in Paris. New York. Boston, Chi
cago and elsewhere. remains to be
seen.
Those who have had a glimpse of
the harem skirt state that il is not
what was expected. For the most
part il differs but little from any
other skirt Those which have been
received In Calumet were not made
10 fit tightly around the ankles as are
those which created sensations i'm Par
Is and London, but resemble more
closely the riding habit. being divided
only for few inches at the bottom.
Those who have worn harem skirts i'm
other cities claim they provide more
freedom in walking and are big inn
provement on the hobble skirt, large
number Of which were worn I'm Calu-
met. Whether the latest creation will
prove as popular in this city Is not
for mere man TO predict. At any
rate. Chief Trudell is not worrying
about having any riots to quen in
the near future.

Political Advertisement.
To the Republican Voters
-OF THE
Twelfth Judicial Circuit

OWING TO THE FACT THAT
THE SHORTNESS OF THE TIME
INTERVENING BEFORE TIL IL
ELECTION MAKES 1T IMPOSSIBLE
FOR ME TO REACH YOU PER-
SoNAL.LY. / HAVE DECIDED TO
USE THIS SPACE FROM DAY To
DAY To PRESENT SIMPLY AND
FRANKLY THE FACTS WHICH
BELIEVE ENTITLE ME TO YOUR
SUPPORT.
The primary system of direct nom
ination OF public officers has been
one OF the greatest steps we have ever
taken in the direction OF making Of
flee holders responsive TO the will Of
the People. If, however. after making
an active and earnest campaign for
primary nomination in a district in
which his party is overwhelmingly
predominant a candidate should find
that after receiving the nomination of
his party the voters would Immediate
ly turn upon their party nominee and
vote for the candidate Of the other
party he would have a right to argue
that his efforts I'm the primary were OF
no avail and the primary itself fall
ure.
Now as never before. party loyalty
means something.
IL means loyalty to the choice of the
people of the party. Any other course
would be hailed by the enemies of the
primary system with delight as an ar
yument 20 return TO the old plan OF
nomination.
The democrats as usual are urging
the republicans TO desert their ticket
and vote for the democrat, and are en-
deavoring to create disaffection in the
republican party wherever possible. 1t
would seem very strange after having
preached party loyalty" and stick 10
the ticket" after every nomination
made by n convention in years past
to see republicans repudiate their
nominee when that nominee for the
first time is named by the people
themselves.
The voters of the party have made
me the nominee of the party, evident
ly relieving me competent to honestly
and ably discharge the duties of the
Office. l think, therefore. that l am
entitled to your hearty and earnest
support.

A TEN DAYS REVIVAL
Joseph Smith of Meridian, Missis-
sippi at University Park.

Joseph Smith, of Meridian, Missis-
sippi, the eminent Bible student, Fri
day evening opened ten days SER
les of revival meetings at Central
Holiness University east of town. The
first meeting was well attended, the
chapel room of the college being fill
ed with college and Park people and
numerous visitors from the city.
Meetings are to be held morning
and evening. The morning service
will take the place of the regular
chapel hour, 945 to 1915 daily. Sun
day services will be at 1890, morning
and afternoon. All evening services
will commence at 1880 o'clock.
Mr.. Smith is an earnest and effec-
tive talker, quiet and unassuming,
but impressive in manner. The sub
ject of the first sermon was The
Clarifying of Christ" and the theme
was well handled. Mr.. Smith is more
Bible teacher than an evangelist
and as such he has national repu-
tation. His knowledge gives him
power in argument that is beyond
question or criticism; He speaks
from an unlimited fund Of informa.
ton and knowledge and his resources
are without measure.
Invitation is extended the people
to come and hear this great worker.

iowa APPLE GROWERS
State Horticulturist Greene Urges
an Organization.

Iowa produced 100000 bushels of
mates made by Wesley Geene, state
hOrticulturist. He figures that the
consumption of apples in the state is
about one bushel for every person, or
total of 2,225,O0O bushels of apples
will be consumed in Iowa from this
years crop.
That leaves 2,27J,000 bushels to be
disposed Of in lOeign markets. In or
der 10 do this Mr.. Geene urges the
state fruit growers to form a fruit
growers exchange similar to the one
now operated in California, Florida
and other fruit.groWing states. He
estimates that the orchardist in Iowa
cannot afford to hand pick the apples
and furnish the package for less than
80 cents per bushel. If the apples
are carefully graded and packed, he
estimates the cost at GO cents per
bushel.
This, he figures, would, with the
freight rate and the cost of distribu-
ton. make the price of apples
prohibtive if shipped out by the
small covers individually. For these
reasons he thinks they should form
an exchange which would take their
products and send them out of the
state by the car load, thus reducing
the cost OF transportation. He would
have the exchange also do all the
packing and sorting, thus reducing
this cost of production. Then he be-
lieves that the shippers can sell their
product at a good profit and still have
the price, when the apple reaches the
big cities, within the reach of all. He
figures also that state fruit en-
change would be OF great value in
helping the small grower to find a
foreign market.
Mr.. Green further argues that an
exchange such as he has outlined
would prevent an overstocking of the
market by providing better control
over the distribution of Iowa grown
apples in the various markets of the
state and nation

Gathering County Statistics.

Abner Branson, of Oskaloosa, is de.
sirous of ascertaining the extent of

every person in the county whose or
chard has produced fifty or more
bushels OF apples or where apples
have been marketed in even smaller
quantities, to send him card, giving
name of owner, number of trees bear
ing fruit, the extent of the crop and
the name Of township. Mr., Branson
is suffering with eye trouble and be-
ing confined to his home is unable to
make the trip about the county ne

formation in person. He is asking
his friends and acquaintance to CO.

To Rule On Prizes Given Away.

Des Moines, Nov. 13.-Special: At
torney General Cosson is confronted
with a new phase of the anti-gift law
of the state. Complaint is made that
S. G. Brown & Co., of Eddyville, are
violating the state law prohibiting
the giving away of articles as prizes
in schemes to work up trade by re-
tail houses. The law seems to apply
only when the retailer gives coupons
which are redeemable at some other
store. In this case Brown & Co. have
bought outright some writing desks.
They give coupons and certain num-
bers of coupons entitle the purchaser
of goods to- one of the desks. 1t is
purely an advertising scheme in
which no other firm has any interest
except Brown & Co. The attorney
general is inclined to the belief that
the scheme does not violate the state
law and will probably so rule.
