ITHE woman who has a piece of lace
Of good quality shou use it now

elegance to the costume than bit of

the lines in the face on which age is be-
ginning to pencil its lines, and it adds a
gracious dignity to the face of the aged.
for lace may be worn long after jewels
have been discarded by the elderly
woman.
Laces of ine gu lily may be turned to
good account at all times and in numerous
ways. For example. small pieces CT
coarse lace can be used 10 cover hatpins.
which are pretty when worn in lace hats.
Fine lace may be used 10 cover satin
slippers, making the pieces lit closely
over the satin. These make beautiful
bedroom slippers, and when tine l2ces are
used may be worn on dress occasions
Practically all aces of set pattern can be
appliqued to net and so become excellent
shirt waists or lingerie dress trimmings.
Chantilly lace should be backed with
chiffon, as a great many patterns are
rough and the lace will irrtate the neck,
throat and back waen worn next the skin.
Usually thin chiffon lining win overcome
the trouble.
On account of its delicate pattern
shadow lace can be used in great guam

much used as trimming on very sheer

of turning several hands out of work, there

A Cossack Dispatch Rider

An officer of the Cossacks during
the Russo-Japanese War offered to
carry dispatch which 10 horsemen
had already failed to get through.
The General remarked bitterly that
the effort was useless.
"The others have failed" the Off
Ger insisted, because they travelled
on horseback. shall go under my
horse"
Under your horse?" The Gener-
al was .astonished; but this is prud-
ent way of riding, very popular with
Circassians when they wish to sur
prise any one. The offer was finally
accepted. He received the commun-
ion, said his prayers, bade good-by to
his men and started off in the middle
of the night, strapped face downward
underneath his horse, which he guild
ed by means of the bride through the
fore legs. The Japanese whistled to
what they thought was riderless
horse. But the animal, egged on by
blows from the officers heels, ac-
complished the journey of Is to IS
miles in safety. Stranger still, the
officer accomplished the return jour-
ney on the following night.-London

Eat More Dogs in Dresden

Dresden, Oct. 7.-Official statistics
published in this apparently flourish.
ing Saxon city show that the con.
sumption of horseflesh and dogflesh
is increasing. The figures relate to
the last fourteen years.
The number of horses slaughtered
for human food in 1898 was 1, 1899 and
of dogs 80. Last year 1854 horses
and l25 dogs were slaughtered for
food. The general consumption of
flesh in Dresden has fallen per capita
of population from $50 pounds in
1911 to 8.75 pounds this year. The
fall is, of course, less noticeable in
the cheaper than in the dearer qali-
ties.
Friends of temperance will hear
with pleasure that the per capita con-
sumption of beer in the Saxon capital
is steadily declining. In the last
twelve years it has fallen from 433
pints to 230 pints. 1t must be ex-
planned, however, that the decrease
is due, not to the spread Of the tenn
perance cause so much as to a de-
crease in the purchasing power of
the people.

From Anti-Single Tax
Headquarters.

Sept. 80, 1912.
r. D. Allen, Editor,
The Butler Weekly Times,
Butler, Mo.
Dear Sir:-As member of the
Publicity Committee and chairman Of
the Speakers Bureau of the Anti
Single Tax League, want to express
to you my heartfelt appreciation for
the active cooperation you have given
our efforts. It is indeed gratifying to
know that the country newspaper
men are at all times in line for the
best interest of their communities;
and in this fight that we are waging
against the iniquitous single tax
amendments, we are receiving splen-
did help from the country editors. In
fact, if these amendments are de-
feated, the credit for the same will be
due that body of fearless and able
men who are most directly RESPONSE
BILE for the calling attention to the
destruction that will be brought about
through the operations of the single
tax.
Our organization is doing the best
it can with the finances at our COM
mand. We only wish that we had
the means whereby we could repay
to some extent, at least, the great
service being done in the interest of
our work by the country press. How
ever, that will be an utter impossi-
bility as up to the present time, we
have not received sufficient financial
aid to supply the literature that is
being asked for. The most trouble
some condition that we have to con-
tend with is the view held by many of
our most prominent citizens that the
single tax amendments will be de-
feated by an overwhelming vote. We
trust that this will prove true, but
candidly, l will say to you that the
single tax amendments will be sup
ported by great many voters, and
while those opposing the amendments
are all open and above board, those
in favor of them are, especially in the
country, silent as to their views. II
is this vast silent vote that we fear. /
l want to again express my person.
al appreciation for your assistance in
this work. AT any time that can be
of service to you, remember that my
postoffice address is Mexico, and all
that | need know is that you want
something.
With kindest personal regards, l
am, Yours sincerely,
Rufus Jackson,
Chairman Speakers Bureau, Mis-
souri, Anti-Single Tax League.

Dates For Fall Festival
and County School Fair
Ered by Commercial Club
Preliminary Arrangements Set in Mo-
ton; Efforts to be Made to
Interest Other Sections Of
County in Affair.

Definitely deciding upon dates for
the coming Harvest Festival and
School Fair and appointing a COM
mittee on preliminary arrangements,
the Dallas Commercial club, at it's
regular meeting on Wednesday night,
set in motion the machinery which, it
is predicted, will result in fall eX-
hibition in Dallas which will be a
credit to Polk county. 1t is also
hoped that the other sections of the
county will participate, to the end
that the display may be representa-
tive of all sections of the county and
in every way worthy of the blue
Ribbon County" of Oregon.
First Week in October.
On motion, Thursday, Friday and
Saturday, October 8, 4 and s. were
the dates selected for the fair, it be-
ing decided that an earlier, date would,
be unsatisfactory and that it would
be possible to secure a much better
display of farm products at that time.
A committee consisting of w. A.
Ayres, II. c. Seymour, w. V. Fuller,
j. r. Craven and A. B. Muir was ap-
pointed to have charge of the. prelim-
mary arrangements. Upon this COM
mittee will devolve the duty of in
teresting other towns of the county in
making a thoroughly representative
county exhibit, in arranging a series
of prizes and in formulating tenta-
tive program, which may include a
Portland and Salem day, and the
making of an effort to induce the
commercial organizations of those
cities to run excursions here.
Slogan Goes Over.
Chairman II. G. Campbell, of the
committee on publicity and promo
ton, to whom was referred the mat
ter of the selection of a proper solgan
for the city of Dallas, reported that
lne committee had received a large
of slogans and were unable
to decide, and asked the club to select
one. Among those proposed We're:

formally, being finally referred TO

committee, reported that he had talk
en- up the matter of chair cars on
Dallas trains on the Southern Pacific,
with Mr. Scott general passenger
agent, and had been assured that
hereafter such cars would be attach
'ed to all trains.
Matter of making a suitable exhibit
of Polk county products at the East

ton with power to act.

vertising proposition, was referred to

Report of Financial Secretary

amounting to $1,0S1.55, on August Z,
was read and placed on file.
The manufactures committee was
instructed to report on the matter of

pany at the next meeting.
Professor Metzger urged upon the
club the advisability of team work
among the commercial organizations
of the Willamette Valley, and called
attention to the good work a similar
organization was doing in develop
ment work in Southwestern Washing
ton, Others supported the idea and
urged upon the Dallas club that steps
be taken at once to initiate such a
move.
