The MASKING Evil

| Steps are being taken i'm Chicago to
put a stop to the "mashers" and elm.
mate the evil If possible.
Miss Mary +. Balcomb, secretary of
league, declared she had received many
complaints regarding the activities of
pernicious "mashers" especially in the
loop district. She declared that the
'dress evil' was the basis for the
increased activities of "mashersu and
that women themselves were mainly al
fault.
"Girls and women nowadays dress
very foolishly and are themselves to
blame for the increased number of
"mashers," Miss Balcomb declared.
vi shop and office girls were more
careful how they dressed there would
not be so many complaints.
"The ''mashingn evil as reached nj.
most the tragic stage and the latest
fashions are the real cause. Some of
the girls who come TO me with their
stories tell pitiable tales. | tell all of
them TO dress plainly and conduct
themselves so that there will be no
excuse for men approaching them.u

Get Ready For The Show

Hoop La! The joyous tented show is
coming to town and young America il
all agog over the happy announcement.
Sun Brothers Shows are heavily billed
TO exhibit here on August 10th. This
show is now on its twentieth annual
tour and is meeting with tremendous
success, and the show is giving the
greatest OF satisfaction.
Many people denounce the tented
show and think that they are an evil
that should never be allowed to exhibit.
one OF the arguments being that they
carry immense sums Of money out OF
the cou ntry that never come back, and
another that they have bad influence
morally.
As far as the moral influences are
concerned, we've all been going TO
shows all our lives, and how many of
us have had our morals corrupted
therefrom? OF course, now and then
show comes along that carries q Grim
inal and corrupting element, but the
best shows, and those which are more
largely attended, are usually devoid of
this.
1t Is often the case that those who
denounce the tented show will 20 TO an
opera or theatre time and again, spend
ing from 81 TO $3.50, TO be entertained,
and yet they don't believe in the tent
show, which only comes once year
and furnishes entertainment and !.
amusement for the country people who |
haven't the opportunity 10 go To the !,

TROUBLE BREWING
FOR BULLOCK

}. w. Bullock the Fenwick Druggist
Is being investigated for an ALLEGED
violating of the local option law. Last
week delegation of citizens of Mont
calm County went To Lansing and in
terviewed Governor Osborn and laid
the case before him asking that the state
authorizes push the case against him,
IL WAS the contention of the Mont.
calm delegation that the father OF
Prosecuting Attorney g. b. Reardon,
who is conducting the case for the
county, is also lawyer, and the dele
CATION charged that the Senior Rear
don is the representative of the Michi-
gan Bonding company. 1t is their
contention that Reardon, Sr., who is
helping his son in The case, is not COM
petent 10 assist in the prosecution,
owing TO his connection with the liquor
dealers
deputy sheriff, who was among
those who came To see the governor,
said some of the cases against Bullock
had dragged through the courts for
nearly two years and that there was
no apparent reason for the delay. The
governor was presented with sworn
statement showing the amount of liquor
received by Druggist Bullock during
the past year, and as Fenwick has a
population OF less than 100, there is
only one drug store, the statement in
dicates that there are some heavy drink
ers in the little village.
The statement shows the following
eonsignments during the past year:
Five hundred cases of beer, Ii barrels
OF whisky, II cases of whisky, six cases
OF malt whisky, four barrels of alcohol,
two jugs of wine, one jug of rum, two
OF wine, two of gin and one key or
cordial.
''lf your prosecuting attorney is not
doing his duty, as governor, am glad
to see that you people get fair play,
and when such people as you appear
before me and tell of such conditions.
] wish | were governor for 40 years TO
come, said Osborn.
1t is expected that Assistant Attor-
ney General Lawler will be asked To
investigate the case.

The annual picnic OF the East Disco
Farmers Club was held at the park on
August LIST, owing 10 the unset, led state
oil the weather the attendance was not
AS large as usual. A very good program
had been prepared with Mr.. +. l..
Warner OF Belding as speaker OF the
day, Mr.. Warner spoke briefly on
several timely topics calling attention
to the part, the farmers of the country
must play in efiecnng satisfactory
settlements. He laid especial emphasis
on the fact that the farmer, from his
semi-isolated position, is more likely 10
render correct judgement than the
townsman who is constantly under the
influence of his fellows, he denounced as
cowardly the act OF remaining away
from the polls on election day. This
privilege which has cost the world SO
much ought, he declared, 10 be used To
the full.
Miss Elsie Benedict followed Mr..
Warmers speech with a well chosen
recitation entitled "Aunty Dolefuls
Philosophy. This as its title implies
was of humorous nature and provoked
hearty laughter by its reverse climaxes.
Rev. Fannie Benedict was next called
upon for few remarks. Those who
knew Mrs. Benedict when she was n
"real farmer" were certain that some
thing pithy would characterize he
little speech. BY slip of the tongue
Mr.. Warner supplied the suggestion
when he stated that he was not certain
whether he was suflragist or not
Mrs. Benedict advised Mr.. Warner TO
find out pretty soon how he stood o.
the question Of equal suffrage, and r,-
minded him forcefully of Judge
Lindsey's statement that his recent
election was due TO the influence of the
women OF the State of Colorado.
The closing number of the program
was very suggestive and thoroughly
enjoyed by all. Miss Mable Howe
rendering very effectively a song medley
''The Songs OF Long Ago" touching
great many of the old home songs SO
full of heartfelt sympathy. Miss
MaDory Hall presided AT the organ
during the entire exercises and proved
herself worthy of the honor.
During the social period following the |
program many favorable criticisms were
made on the city's efforts TO provide for
of this kind. The services |
Of the park warden, the open air gym
nasium and the convenience of the |
rotunda being mentioned repeatedly.

Mrs. Gaynor and Daughters to Give
Another Recital

Much interest is being manifested
in the song recital which Mrs. Jesse
L. Gaynor and her two daughters,
Miss Rose Gaynor and Mrs. Doro-
thy Gaynor Blake, are to give in the
Library of Washington and Lee
University Friday evening. October
4th. Mrs. Gaynor is so we'll kno
the country over as a composer and
singer of children's songs that it is
hardly necessary to do more than
mention her name and perhaps to
say that she is the author of that
charming little lullaby
Baby's boats silver moon,
Sailing in the sky,
Sailing DER sea of dreams
While the stars float by.
CHORUS
Sail, baby, sail,
Out upon that sea,
Only dOn't forget to sail
Back again to me.
Last spring Mrs. Gaynor and her
daughters we're the guests of Mrs.
Robert Kerlin of the Institute fac
ulty, for several days, and gave a
most delightful recital in the Jack
son Memorial Hall. The audience
was charmed with the programme
from start to finish, aud it was talk
ed OF as one OF the best, il not the
best thing of the kind which has
been in Lexington for years. Not
only is Mrs. GaynOr an accomplish
ed musician, but her daughters are
equally as talented both as instru-
mentalsts and vocalists. Miss
, Roses voice is a high soprano oil
q great purity and flexibility, and has
a peculiar facility Of interpreting
o her mothers compositions, while
Mrs. Dorothy Gaynor Blake's voice
is a darker colored mezzo.
