Color Contrasts

AS in past seasons, blue,
black and gray and brownish
tints lead for the practical,
manufactured suits. But with
few exceptions, these colors
have been given life" by
means of tiny threads or
stripes of a self-tone or a
contrasting color.
The practical, s trictly
manufactured suit for 1911
1912 is simple and severe
enough to look tailored and
at the same time its modified
lines, softer colorsa and weaves
make it more becoming.
The one thing greater than
Bischof material and Bischof
fit is Bischof style.
Without style, the finest.
materials, and the most per-
feet tailoring will not make
your suit a success.
Style is the keynote Of
Bischof's success as a de-
signer. 1t is what sets the
Bischof. suit apart from the
ready-made suit.
Even in the finest CUSTOM
made garment it is seldom
that you find such individual
style.
Don't you need a tailored
suit? Let us show you "just
the suit that you have in
mind"

RAIN FOR YEAR
STILL DEFICIENT

Little Rock, Aug. 23.-Cloudy
weather, but little rain for the next
few days, is the weather prospects
for Arkansas, which will be quite
relief to the farnNr. Even at that
LIP inches of rain must fall in this
vicinity before the first day of Sep
tember to make the year normal one
on rainfall. For the three months,
May, June and July, the rainfall here
was 6.01 inches short. Then the
heavens opened and the deluge began
The excess for the 81 days of this
month was 4.65 inihes, but still there
is nearly two inches short on the year,
and Section Director H. F. Alciatore
says the chances are that September
l will arrive and find this year not
an unusual one, so far as rainfall is
concerned for the year.

COMPLEX CASE IS
UP TO GOVERNOR

Little Rock, Aug. 23.-The tran
scrip of the evidence in the Tom Pow
ell case was delivered to Governor
Donaghey Tuesday afternoon and is
now being reviewed by him, with a
prospect of decision by Wednesday
night. Powell is under sentence of
death, being convicted of criminally
assaulting his daughter, Ida Spain,
at Jonesboro. Governor Donaghey
granted respite of 60 days to Pow
ell sometime ago, and this will expire
September /. The Spain girl has
written a letter to Governor Dona-
ghey, asking him not to commute the
sentence, saying her father abused
her shamefully and the jury fairly
convicted him on the evidence offered.
There has been in circulation in
Jonesboro petition asking that the
sentence of Powell be commuted to
life Imprisonment, and in the cap
ton the assertion is made that the
letter written by the Spain woman to
the governor was inspired, or writ
ten, by a young man of Jonesboro.
The latter has taken exception TO the
use of his name in the case and
threatens to sue all those who signed
for criminal libel

are to be seen on these placid waters
Nice residences and small business
houses dot the shores of these lakes

Large quantities of fish are put up
at Seattle for the worlds market. On
the sound they have a large drying
pier, where fish are prepared for the
market and some times 500 tons are
brought in to this pier by fishing

JOHN DUNAWAY WRITES FUR
THEIR OBSERVATIONS OF
NORTHWESTERN CITY.
Editor Log Cabin Democrat:

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
As | am at leisure, | thought |
would send you few more penc;lings
from Seattle. This town occupies a
little over "a square miles of territory
and is bounded entirely on one side by
Puget Sound. Eastward about five
miles from the business section lies
Lake Washington. This is a beautiful
lake, some 25 miles long, an average
width of five miles. Just north OF
this lake lies Lake Union. The two
have recently been joined together by
canal. The government, | under
stand, will soon cut canal from
Lake Union into Puget Sound, dis
tance of three miles, which will give
ocean traffic through these lakes to
the residence part of the city. These
lakes are very deep, fresh water, and
will afford the navy safe retreat
when not on duty.
On beautiful spot of land over
looking Lake Washington is situated
Washington University, a very hand
some and commodious building with
nice grounds and walks. Annexed to
these grounds is a large tract of land
purchased by the state for the big
exposition that was held here two
years ago. Many of the best exposi-
tion buildings are still standing and
were donated to the university and
will be used hereafter as annexes to
the university equipment. The for
estry building was left standing and
presents some features of curiosity.
