Has Contract for $4,000 Laboratory.
&C. E. Heaps has returned home
from Ames, Iowa, where he was
awarded the contract for erection of
a $4,000 laboratory, an addition to
the splendid group of buildings in
which educational work OF the Iowa
agricultural college is carried on. The
building will have ground dimensions
150x150, and will be two stories high

Suit Entered for S1,1e2.-Suit insti-
tuted by S. D. Hicks of this city in the
federal court at Peoria, wherein he
seeks to recover the sum of $1,192
from the contracting firm of James
DeVault & Sons, of Canton, Ohio, the
amount being claimed as the balance
due on a sub-contract for piastering
and cement work done in the erection
of the postoffice here, IS under way
before Judge Humphreys. DeVault &
Sons were the general contractors for
the structure and they awarded the
sub-contract to Hicks on his bid Of
| $1,000. 1t is claimed by Hicks that
owing to the uneven construction of
the brick and stone work the specih-
! cations for the plastering were mater
| tally altered, and it was necessary for
him to do a great amount of work at
an additional cost approximating ST.,
| 300, for which he was paid only 1884
and he now sues to recover the bal.
ance in the sum of S1,192..
Dearth of Material and Labor-In
ability to secure sufficient raw mate
rial from outside factories, Is one
of two problems which confronts man
ufacturers of Moline today. The other
is that of labor. For some time past
nearly every local factory has beer
unable TO purchase at any price suffi
cient material to build machinery t
! supply normal orders. The local out
put this year will far exceed that o.
previous years, but still, it will be i'm
possible to supply the demand unles:
subsidiary plants are able to furnish
more material. Pressed steel and NAL
leable parts are particularly Difficult
to secure in ample lots at the presen
time. Dearth of labor is one of the
causes for the situation.

SPRING STYLES ALREADY OUT
Becoming Design in New Linen and
Lingerie Dresses for the
Young Girl.

The new linen and lingerie dresses
for little girls are exceptionally at
tractive. The Russian style prevails
and more color than usual is allowed
--colored embroidery where colored
fabrics are not desired.
A smart little frock is in heavy nat
ural linen made in Rnsssaa styla with
a single embroidered revers.
A Russian blouse dress of pink
linen has scalloped edges worked in
white and belt of deep rose-colored
velvet ribbon
A quaint little dress in pink linen
is made on empire linen and is trim
med with white. Over the shoulder
is slung, on long white cords, small
bag of the pink linen with allover
braiding in white-a charming copy in
miniature of the cordelier of the small
girls mother.
When mother goes south the small
daughter must accompany her, and be
equipped for the change in climate as
well. Accordingly there are already
being shown new styles in parasols
for the little one to carry under the
southern sun.
AS might be expected, most Of the
parasols for children are bordered,
like those of their mothers. There
are pink and blue scalloped silk
dounces on linen and poDgee models,
plaid or check borders on plain silk,
tucked borders, and even dresden bor-
dering on a dainty parasol for dressy
occasions.

for the twentieth century logging crews In what
might term the traditional seats of the lumber
industry however, winter puts very differ
ent face on the whole matter OF getting out
the logs and transporting them to the sawmills
that transform them into the marketable form
known to the average consumer In Maine, In
northern New York and Canada, in Michigan, In
Minnesota, Wisconsin and the Dakotas the summer
Is in one sense a vacation season for the lumber
jacks. At least 1t Is an interlude OF restricted
activity and the lumbermen, unlike some other
members of the community, welcome the passing
of the long bright days and the advent of the Ice
King The explanation of this state Of affairs is
found, of course, in the fact that snow and ice
afford the material for the ideal arteries OF COM
munication in the lumber regions. The felled
trees may be conveyed to market more quickly
and more economically over snow roads and Ice
trails than by any other method known to the
industry Indeed. there are lumber regions where
without these factors sand their sequel the big
thaw" in the spring-it would be virtually I'M
practicable to get the timber to market at an ex-
pense that would justify operations.
The snow and ice, important as Is their aid,
are not the only influences that are tending
to make the lumbermen concentrate their activ-
tiles in the fall and winter or late years con-
stantly increasing number OF our lumbermen have
been brought to see the wisdom of adopting what
is known as conservative lumbering-that Is, lum-
boring which treats forest as working capital
whose purpose is to produce successive crops and
which calls for work in the woods that will leave
the standing trees and young growth as nearly
unframed as possible Well, the minute man
becomes convert to conservative numbering he
is certain to become an advocate Of the cold sea-
son as the proper time for carrying on all the
operations of numbering.
To make this point clear It may be pointed out
that the difference between practical work under
ordinary methods OF numbering and under con-
seryatiye numbering is principally In the selection
OF the trees to cut, IN the telling Of these trees,
and in the first part Of their journey from the
stump to the mil It Is an established fact that
the amount of harm done to a forest by the cut
ting depends considerably upon the season OF the
year when the work In the woods Is carried on.
Much less damage will result to the young growth

SHOE AND GLOVE FASHIONS |
for Both Articles of Apparel
Just Now.

Entirely aside from this question of
mourning every one knows that the
combination of black and white is be-
ing featured this season more than
usual. Still 1t is a surprise to most
fashion observers to discover that
even the realm OF shoes is beginning
20 show this combination.
Some Of the smartest of the new
kid Iow-cut shoes have white uppers,
but shiny black heels and a mere line
OF black kid about the top.
An ultra smart model has the yamp
of soft-f1nish black and the uppers-
side and back-Of white.
Black buttons on high white shoes
replace the pretty crystal buttons in
some instances. Black bows are favor
ed on all white shoes of the pump
or low Oxford type.
The black heel will be seen on
some of the white canvas and buck
skin shoes in place of the tan or
white covered heel.
Black stockings may be worn with
white shoes, or white stockings with
black ones.
Gloves show the same inevitable
combination. Some long gloves of
white kid have narrow diamond
shaped insets of black near the Ell
bow, and long black gloves reverse
this order by having insets of white.
