When Gowns Are Tailored.

On some tailored suits there are
revers and collars in white or gay
colors.
Skirts at present are little plated.
though If there is any plating on the
skirt it is better to have it stitched
all the way to the bottom.
Black and blue are perhaps the best
colors for the practical everyday tai
lored suit. though almost any color
should prove satisfactory since the art
Of dyeing is so good nowadays.

ThoughtIessness.

Tbev saw the world is round, and vet
I often think 1t square,
So many little hurts we get
From corners here and there.
But one sad truth in life I've found,
While journeying East and West,
The only folk we really wound
Are those we love the best.
We fa.ter those we scarcely know,
We please the fleeting guest,
And deal full many thoughtless blow
To those who love us best.

DESERVING GIRLS
Federated Clubs Of Webster City
Contribute $40 to Revolving
Loan Fund.

A recent enterprise and one
which commends itself very highly
to all those interested in higher ed
ucation, Is the revolving loan fund
established by the Iowa federation
OF women's clubs. This fund was
established at the biennial meeting
OF the Iowa federation last May for
the purpose of helping deserving
girls who are working part or all
OF their way through college. The
plan Is to loan money preferably
in small sums, in no case to exceed
$50 per year, to girls who need as
sistance to secure their education.
The money is loaned without inter
est and is to be repaid In small in
stallments when the girl becomes
self supporting. Loans are made to
candidates upon the recommends

character and conduct to the mem

Dewey Glaman, the fourteen yeal
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. r. Il. Gla

inent family of Jewell, met with 1
terrible accident Saturday after
noon in which he received in his
right side, just above the hip, full
charge of No. shot from gun
accidentally discharged by another
boy.
Young Glaman and two neighbor-
ing boys were getting ready to 60
on a hunting expedition when the
unfortunate accident occurred. One
of the boys had opened his gun at
the breech and inserted a shell. In
closing the weapon it was in some
manner discharged, the Glaman boy
receiving the charge of shot in his

The injured boy was brought to
the hospital here Saturday night.
accompanied by Drs. Christianson
and Slater and his father. Local
surgeons were also summoned. The
wound was probed and the wadding
and some of the shot from the ex-
ploded shell were removed.
While the injury is very SER
ious one and the boys condition is
critical, the physicians are hopeful
for his recovery. If complications
can be avoided 1t Is expected that
he will pull through. Developments
during the next day or two will be
awaited by the boys par
ents and his friends. Mr.. Glaman
will remain here with his son for a
week or so.

From Burning.

The home Of A. F. Kinser, located
on the north side. narrowly escaped
being burned to the ground Monday

ing out before they reached the
place

with which the responses of the
choir were sung could only be at

careful attention to the directions

The cantata opened with a chorus
depicting the silent and sleeping
town just before the break of the
first Easter day, followed by a con-
tralto solo, entitled, "In the Gard
en-" beautifully sung in two parts
by Mrs. George e. Younkee and
Mrs. G. H. sKamphoefner. The an

by Mr.. Ray D. Hughes, telling of
the meeting Of the women and the
living Savior. and ending in a grand

The loan fund has been solicited
in voluntary contributions from
members Of federated clubs over the
state who are responding literally
to this worthy cause. The tenth
district has contributed nearly $500
this year to the fund, about $40 of
which has been given by the feder-
ated clubs of Webster City. Only
one other town, Oskaloosa, has done
as we'll.
The committee also decided to ask
the different colleges in the state to
help by placing scholarships cover

and nineteen of the colleges have
responded to the request. Two

the federation at the University Of
Iowa.
A large number Of federations in
other states have established these
funds and find it one Of the most
helpful and practical enterprises
they have ever undertaken. The
Colorado federation since 1902 has
loaned almost $1,000 and has an
capital of s4,655. It
has assisted eighty -one girls, forty

Iowa of course has been organized

But the chairman from this dis

AUTOMOBILE DRIy-
ERs ARE CARELESS


Owners and drivers Of automobiles
should consult the law in connec-
ton with running their machines
AS the weather will now permit the
use of cars, many autos were out
yesterday. Among them were some
who had their number on but one
end Of the car. The number of the
car should be attached in plain
sight on both the rear and the front
of the auto. The number must al
so be on a 1912 card. Many car
owners are still displaying their last
years tag.
In driving and turning corners
there are many drivers who are
growing careless. Last season Po-
liceman Nickerson spent an evening
on The Wilson corner showing
drivers how to turn the corners
properly. Until the close Of last
season this manner of operating a
machine was in use by almost every
driver. However, with the opening
Of this season many of the drivers
give corners but little attention.
Much fast driving was reported from
different parts of the city yesterday.
City officials say this will have to
cease. Fast driving is very danger
GUS, not only to the person driving
the car, but to pedestrians and 9TH
ers with autos. 1t would seem ad-
visable for new owners Of cars to
procure a copy OF the automobile
