MANY BUTTONS TRIM
THE SEASONS GOWNS
Of Odd Shapes and Are Often
Used In Freakish Fashion.

Buttons for gowns, coats and suits
form an important part of the well Or
dered toilet.
While in some instances buttons are
used with profusi0n. they are placed in
such way as not to seem ornate. For
instance, upon handsome gown small
buttons covered with the same fabric
as the gown itself were set closely to-
gether from the shoulder seams on
each side to the hem of the skirt in
the back, Although many dozens were
thus employed. the effect was one of
simplicity.
A strange freak is that of using two
kinds of buttons upon the same tai
lored suit. In most instances the but
tons are dissimilar as to material and
size. The utility buttons are small
and the larger ones are simply for or
nament
The use of wooden button molds is
on the increase. Some are made in
ovals, lozenge shape and even square
as well as in the shape of half bull
let. 1t is the fad to cover these with
handwork of some kind Silk. satin
or velvet is often used and is frequent
ly embellished with silk embroidery
or cording or metallic lace work.
An odd use for buttons has appeared
in millinery, where-upOn some of the
most expensive of imported hats-a
large button covered with Irish crochet
in rainbow tints is seen as the center
of a ribbon or chiffon flower of a mod
est shade
The use Of white pearl buttons upon
dark serge or other mannish goods is
an innovation Of the French dressmak-
ers. Not for use are these buttons. in
most cases, but as trimming, set close
ly along the edge of revers or upon
cuffs or flares. Even china buttons
have thus been employed by some of
the most original makers.
Small and large buttons. made of
white cotton thread. closely crocheted
are now in fashion They are placed
on blouses. on one piece frocks. on top
wraps, in every size
Buttons to be fashionable should be
either very large or very small.

HUMOR OF THE DAY
Proved Friendship.


The affairs of the firm were in such
a bad way that the creditors met to
take action, and the head of the firm
was in consultation. He had this to
observe:
II owe you all a lot Of money which
I cannot pay now. But look at my
orders! II can keep going for six
months you will get your money. II
you close me up you will hardly get a
nickel on the dollar. Give me six
months longer and I will give you
notes at 8 per cent. What will it be
bankruptcy or chance for all of US to
pull out?'
The creditors conferred in secret,
agreed to take the notes and made the
announcement. They had put on their
hats and coats and were walking out
when one of them got the high sign
from the merchant.
He Jagged behind and said, What is
it?"
You have always been good friend
of mine." whispered the merchant II
am not ungrateful. and I want to tell
you something if you will keep it to
yourself-I'll make you a preferred
CREDITOR
How can you do that?"
you're the first one to know that
the notes won't be any good. Chicago

Keep the farm clean

A great feature of good farm
ing is cleanliness good clean
culture;the destruction of weeds:
the removal of crop remnants as
soon as the crop is done; picking
up and, if need be, destroying
dropped fruit in orchards; remov-
ing, burning up aud otherwise
thoroughly annihilating all rub
bish to be found on the ground in
winter; keeping building painted
or whitewashed in good shape.
Allow no rubbish, weeds or
shrubbery to appear by the fem
ces, and in all other respects
have the farm as bare as possible
of every thing save what strict
ly belongs there.
The object of all of this is to do
away with possible hiding places
for insects during the winter. A
large proportion of insects live
through the winter in the adult
stage or in the partly grown con-
dition, and a great many of them
hide under rubbish.
Sometime they are just short
distance below the surface of the
ground among the roots; some
times they crawl into crevices of
fences, logs, or of boards where
ever. in fact, there is an OPEN
ing for them to get into as tree
with rough bark, covered with
moss, lichens or others unnec-
essary growth. -Home&F Farm.

WILL NOT HANG BOY
The Arkansas Case Not YET
To the Governor, So He
Writes.

A subscriber by the name of Dona.
ghev at North Freedom has received
a letter from Governor George w.
Donaghey of Little Rock, Arkansas,
in which he says that there is no such
case as the Eai! Gilchrist case before
him. The case referred to is before
the supreme court of that state, he
writes, and may never come before the
governor, certainly not for a year or
more. The executive further writes
that neither the people, the courts nor
the governor of that state would per-
NIT the hanging of any one, white or
black, fifteen years old. The COVER
nor says that he has received thou
sands of telegrams and letters protest
ing against the state taking the life of
one so young. Many will be glad to
read the assurance which he has sent
to the Donaghey resident at North
Freedom.

MISSING BOY
WAS SLEEPING
He Awoke and Everybody
Was Happy Once More
After Much Worry.

On Wednesday afternoon the whole
country was aroused over the sudden
disappearance of little Richard McEn-
any on Websters prairie. He is the
son Of Owen McEnany and both reside
at the home of the child's grandpar-
ents,sMr. and Mrs. James McEnany.
During the forenoon the boy, who is
about five years old, went in search of
hickory nuts and afterwards wandered
into corn field expecting TO find the
men at work. He became lost, then
tired and naturally went to s!eep.
When he woke up and his presence
became known, everybody was glad.
The officers in Baraboo had been noti-
fed and the report was current that
ali automobile had passed that way
and picked him up. Chief of Police
Pelton wired Madison for the owner of
the number and found that the ma
chine was from Ixona, Wis. 1t was
numbered 1928 Wis. On account of
the Madison case and other children
disappearing, the relatives of the boy
were exceedingly anxious until the
youth was found.

Reedsbur G Fire a Joke.

The hooting of the fire whistle and
