So far as jefferson township is
concerned. the new Hannibal-St.
Joseph cross-state highway is al
ready an assured fact. The farm
ers from the city limits east to the
township line or beyond have got
busy this week and have put that
part of the road in as good shape
as it is possible to have a dirt road.
West of town the road overseer,
T. D. Mouser, has been working
for some time with a crew of men
and his engine and grader, and
they have the road in fine condition
as far as Locust bottom, where they
are working now, and that part of
the road is getting the most thor
ough overhauling it ever had.
Aside from the benefit of the ad-
vertising this road will give the
farmers along the line, they will
have better roads than they ever
had before, because these roads
will be kept in good shape by fire.

TAN SHOES ALL THE VOGUE
Edict of Fashion That Designates This
Pretty Color Will Be Welcomed
Buckles or Ribbons.

Tan shoes are again in fashion
That light putty color which was Sc
much in fashion in France last winter
and which one feared would become
fashionable here is fortunately mis-
sing. All the Russian tans are used
in pumps, in Oxfords, and in two
eyelet ties. Buckles still take pre-
cedence over ribbons, except in the
Oxfords and on pumps.
True, a wide number of women pre-
fer the more or less huge buckle on
their pumps, but you will notice that
the well-dressed woman who is smart
ly turned out in every detail will wear
the plain pump, with it's fiat bow OF
corded ribbon, such as the men wear
no matter what its heel.
Buckles rightly belong to slippers
but there is no breach of good taste
in choosing one of kid, of gunmetal
or of japanned metal on pump OF
dull kid. If one wears patent-leather
slippers, with Spanish heels, then the
buckle may be of silver, of gilt, or of
cut steel, but it is to be hoped that
American women will go back to their
original method and keep this bril-.
liant footwear off the streets in the
morning hours.

HOW TO USE THE POSTICHE
1t Should Be Made From Ones Own
Hair and Kept UntangIed
and Clean.

The best postiche is made from
ones own combings. 1t is not hard to
find a hairdresser, even in small
towns, who makes false hair into va
rious forms; if not, the combings can
be sent to a city establishment. The
cost of making is less than a bought
postiche, and the risk lessened.
See that the piece is tightly woven.
If too loose, the hair pulls up and
roughens. When this occurs there is
no cure but reweaving.
Never let a postiche get tangled.
Brush it daily, or as often as worn,
with brush with rubber back and
stiff bristles. This tears the hair less
than combing. Occasionally put a
few drops of brilliantine on the brush.
1t will take away the dead look that
so quickly comes to false hair.
A postiche should not be allowed to
lie uncovered collecting dust. Keep
it in drawer for cleanliness.
A postiche should be frequently
washed, especially when the hair has
been shampooed, for dust is trans.
ferred from it to the clean scalp. Use
a suds Of white soap, which is rinsed
we'll later, or gasoline. Dry quickly,
shake we'll, and brush until fluffy.
The adjusting of a postiche is impor.
tant. Brush the hair forward and pin
the edge with small steel pins. Then
brush back in sections, pin into place,
and draw ones own hair loosely over
it or not, as you wish Some women
prefer brushing the postiChe and front
hair back as if all were grown on the
head.
When postiche is bought instead
of made from combings, pay more and
get real hair. Cheaper grades soon
fade and never fail to show with the
most careful hairdressing.

FIoWered White Taffeta-

One of the most modish of the sum
mer materials for the youthful wearer
is very soft sheer taffeta, strewn
with floral designs.
This, however, must be made ur
very simply if it is to have the proper
effect. There are radiums, crepes
crepons, and chiffons, too, on the
same general order, and all make de-
lightfully quaint frocks with lace OF
tulle frills and perhaps touches OF
color in pipings, etc., for trimming.
The tafetas with minute hair line
checks CT stripes, in fresh color on a
white ground, make up into very girl.
ish frocks, too, with collars and cuffs
of embroidered batiste and trimming
of the silk itself in cords, bouillonees
cuchettes, etc.

The Rush for Wealth.

There are multitudes Of people in
the world today who are steering and
sailing for Ophir, simply because it is
the land of gold. What will they do
if they reach their desired haven?
They do not know. They do not even
ask the question. They will be rich.
They will sit down OF their gold. Let
us look our desires squarely in the
face. To win riches, to have a GER
tain balance in the bank, and a GER
Tain rating on the exchange, is a real
object, definite object; but it is a
frightfully small object, for the devo-
ton of human life, and a bitterly
disappointing reward for the loss of
an immortal soul, If wealth is our
desired haven, we may be sure that
it will not satisfy us when we reach
it.-Henry Van Dyke.

NEW IDEA FOR PINCUsHIoN
Directions for Making One That Rep

"Humpty" Hassocks.

New ideas for pincushions are rath-

contained in our sketch should there
fore be very welcome to our readers.
1t illustrates small cushion made
to represent one of those oddly-shaped
''humpty'' hassocks that are so much
in vogue just at the present time.
In the first place, two little bun
shaped cushions should be made, and
these cushions can be covered with
any remnants of material that may be

handy. They are then placed one
upon the top of the other and lightly
tackled together, and in turn covered
with some pretty piece of brocade and
tied tightly round the center with a
silk cord.
These little cushions are quite sim
pie to make, and should, of course, be
carried out in quite a small size, and
as a novelty for sale in a bazaar they
should not be forgotten at those times
set aside for charitable work. as any
kind of little novelty will always COM
