HINTS FOR SUMMER TOYS
Subject That Is Worth Consideration.
Though II May Seem Of
Small Moment.

Summer toys for children may
jeoand like an eaaggeration OF the
facts, but they work out very we'll in
practice. Mothers only need to hold
the woody Teddy bears and the fuzzy
,billikins, now the delight OF child
hoods playhouse, to realize the bene-
fit OF the Summer toy. Hugging one
of these hot present-day play chill
dren' on July day il certainly far
from cooling, and small wonder II Is
that the real child is made cross by
the uncomfortable contact.
Wise mothers try substituting one
OF the unbreakable dolls 40 lifelike
and SO satisfactory in that childish
hearts are not broken with dollys
head, or childish tears shed with the
shedding Of dolly's fascinating yellow
curls,
A miniature bucket and spade, lit
tie red wagon, any odd plaything. can
be made to take the place of Teddy
for time. But best Of all. both for
baby's disposition and baby's health,
Is q nice cool bed of sand, a pair OF
blue romrers and the privilege of
playing without restraint.

The vogue for waists matching the
suits giving the effect Of a three.
strong as ever. says the Dry Goods
Economist. Many buyers are trying
to get away from the simple styles
in chiffon waists and are constantly
on the lookout for novelties In order
to supply this demand, designers have
succeeded In getting up many excel.
lent styles showing new trimming
ideas and color combinations. In
stead of the plain satin foundation,
many waists are mounted on net or
satin and trimmed with lace or EN-.
broidered in some bright colors. Me.
tallic laces are also used In this way.

entire day. Traffic was neTeg -
heavy as 1t was Saturday and The
passengers never were so careless
about their change
The identity of the official, whO
originated the plan to turn the pre-
ceeds of one days business over TO
the home, has not been diVulged,
but whoever he is. be is TO be con-
mended for his action.
The citizens also are to be COM
mended for the manner in which
they responded and the officials of
the home, who had charge of the
work, are to be congratulated
Cairo's reputation for hospitality
and generosity has spread from one
end of the land to the other. Ask
some of your out-of-town friends
about this and they will tell YOU:

in favor OF it, no doubt they are, but
what about the majority, viz. the
consumer, let us feel their pulse.
One hundred dollars will put good

allowing the poor people of the city
to get a taste of meat few times

Editor Bulletin, man of fam
lily, consisting of seven, native of
this vicinity, citizen of Cairo for
thirty-four years, beg space in your
columns for the following:
The retail merchants propose to
have the city council put tax of
from $50 to 800 on markets, the tax
to be used in defraying the expense
of an inspector of the sanitary coll

we're ordered to report at East st.
Louis for duty few days ago and
when they arrived for work, strike
was In progress. The youths re-
turned to Mounds and later they
were ordered dismissed.
The order of dismissal was fol-
lowed by a general walk-out on the
part of the other yard clerks. who
demanded the reinstatement OF the
young men.
General Manager T. J Foley. of
Chicago, arrived in Mounds Satur-
day and conference was held a
short time later.
In few hours the strike was de-
clared off and General Manager Fo-
ley returned to Chicago.
The action taken by Mr. Foley
plainly indicates that some supordi-
tie ofncials acted unwisely in dis
charging the two young men for re-
fusing to take the places of striking
union men. and II also indicates
that the corporation is disposed to
treat the men with absolute fairness

Many people make the mistake Of
thinking that good picture will look

fruit pictures look well only in the

Cairo Is Growing.

The plan of the Iron Mountain
Railroad company TO inauguratt
passenger service on the new divi-
sion between Cairo and st. Louis
has but one meaning.
Cairo is growing and this was de-
termined By officials of the railroad
company before it was decided to es-
tablish passenger service on the new
division. If they were not conf
dent of Cairo's increasing prospects
for increasing population and cap
ital. the freight line never would
have heard anything about the pas
81 niger service.
When a group of experienced rail-
road men get together and decide
that a certain city's future is brighs.
il is pretty fair indication that the
city is growing and will continue to
grow.
With their vast knowledge of con-
ditions, the railroad official, prob
ably is better qualified to pass
Judgment on the future of cities
and towns better than the man en-
gagged in another profession. His
success depends upon his Judgment
and the tremendous amount of
money involved means that his judg-
must be absolutely right.
The Inauguration of the new pass
engsF line will hasten the growth of
Cairp and Cairo will hasten the
growth of the railroad.

A Great Visitor for Cairo.

Cairo won a great victory when
the delegates and laymen in attend
ance at the conference in East st
Louis of the Methodist Episcopal
church for the Southern District OF
Illinois, voted to hold the 1912 meet
ing in this city.
This conference will bring more
than 500 ministers and laymen and
their families to the city, and they
will remain here for week Mat
/ tiers of great Importance to the
church will develop during the meet
ing and they will be watched with
interest by members of the church
In all parts of the United States.
Cairo already has secured the
1912 meeting OF the Ohio Valley
Improvement Association and dele
gates from several states, to the
number of several hundred, will at
tend.
lnere are more reasons than one
why Cairo should arrange to bring
