SO far as they acduaint the people OF
the cities with actual conditions as
they are found on the farm today.
The reference to a farmer president
has a peculiar interest at this time
inasmuch as Colonel Roosevelt prob
ably comes nearer to representing tht
farmer by actual experience than any
president since George Washington

tive years of his life on a Dakota

paid a remarkably high tribute to the
skill and worth of the American

Reports came to Topeka that the

is determined to shorten its trans-con-

two short cutoffs which will reduce the
mileage between Kansas City and the
Pacific coast more than 100 miles Not
many years ago a connecting link be

road to inspect the progress being
made on the Hastings section
In the party were Judge Robert 5.
ICvett, chairman of the executive COM

G. Lacy, president of the Grand Island;
r. Stenger, general manager of the
Grand Island and A. /. Mohler, presi-
dent of the Union Pacific. 1t is said
they gave out the information that
every effort was being put forth to
complete the Nebra slIa cutoff at the
earliest possible moment and that the
big trains of the Union Pacific would
be running over the new line before
many months.
The contract has been let for the Ne
biaska cutoff and work mas started.
Additional teams and equipment are
being placed on the work constantly.

Maine choux and stocks have al
ways been more or less fashionable
for wear with the tailored coat, for
there is something exquisitely soft
and becoming about the twist of tulle
around the neck, or the smart bow
of tulle beneath the chin, in contrast
with the trim lines of a tailored suit.
The new tulle, or malines, neckwear
has a further touch of daintiness in
the way of pearl bead trimming If
the bow Is a simple affair with loops
at either side there may be a clasp
made of pearl bead strands around
It's center, and, perhaps, tassel or
ornament of the pearls will hang
from the clasp. The malines stocks
have strand necklaces with clasps set
at intervals, the pretty pearl neck
lace being tackled lightly to the out
