THE COLONIAL BALL.
A Large Attendance and a Pleasant
Evening Spent.

Are Yerington people afraid of cold
and snow? Not so you could notice it
on the night of the 2lst of last month,
when the Yerington Book Clug ladies
gave their Colonial Ball The Rink
Hall was fairly crowded, showing that
had the weather been more favorable
tended ball of the winter.
Spectators and dancers thoroughly
enjoyed the minuet and "Laces and
Graces" given by the club ladies under
the instruction OF Miss Brusso and
Miss McMurray. These modern
Danes" so bewitchingly pretty in
''yc olden costume" presented dance
graceful and stately enough to do
credit to former colonial danes.
.Laces and Graces,' an airy. charm
ing affair, was heartily applauded.
That punch was great The ladies
who made it knew how, and those
young ladies who served so daintily
know how, too Mr. Mayheld makes
a genial floor manager. Nothing like
Virginia Reel to make floor man
ager work. Mr. GEORGE Willis and

right place
We hope the ladies give us another
ball next year and we wish them all

The Building Stone Outlook.

This year the opening of the season
in the stone trade has been backward.
Looking back over a period of years,
more discouraging conditions appeared
then than have been felt the past four
months. And yet the demand for Indi-
ana oolitic limestone rose to such great
proportions during the summer and fall
months as to roll up volume of trade
not only satisfactory to the producers
of this stone, but most gratifying, not
withstanding the sluggish movement in
the demand and an apparent hesitation
throughout the country in starting
building operations in the early months
OF these years. Comparing the present
situation in the stone trade with former
years, there is nothing unusual or de-
pressing about it to cause anxiety that
this may prove slow year. The BUSH
ness of the country has never been on
a more solid basis. Government reports
of crops indicate that the bumper crop
of last year will be exceeded by % per
cent. Building permits issued through
out the country so far exceed those of
the corresponding period of last year
fully 20 per cent. and building opera
tons are commencing to be got under
way. Quarries in the Indiana stone belt
are quarrying to full capacity to meet
the anticipated large demand this sum-
ner and fall Stone mills throughout
the stone district of Indiana are as busy
rs last year and some OF the quarries
report that they have sold much larger
quantity of stone than in any CORE
spending period in the past. There is a
yreat deal of work on the books in archi-
iects' offices and indications unmistak-
IDLY point to much activity in building
operations this year. With the ever
Increasing popularity of Indiana stone
IS Building material it is felt by stone
pera iors that if half of the building
operations now projected materialze
his summer and fall, everybody in the
tone industry will have all the work
hey can attend to.--American Stone

gift For Company"

A contributor to the June Woman's

| people find it to invite their friends in
casually for a meal. In most cases, she
says, they become that terrible thing
company. She reports a personal ex-
perienee showing the unnecessary prepa-
rations that some of her neighbors made
one evening when they invited her to
stay for tea. Following is an extract:

SCHOONER BURNS AT SEA.
Crew of Ten Believed to Have Been
Saved

Provineetown, Mass, June 16.--The
! five masted schooner Paul Palmer was
destroyed by fire two miles northeast
OF the Race Point live saving station
yesterday.
The keeper of the light sighted the
vessel 10 miles off shore, with smoke
and fire pouring from her forward hold.
Her flag was flying union down and
the vessel was headed for shore. When
about five miles away the vessel was
aflame from the bow to amidship and
the crew was seen going over the side
into small boats.
The forward masts toppled over the
side just as a fishing schooner and tug
came to the rescue
1t is believed all lives were saved as
the rescuing schooner Immediately
made off on her voyage.
The Paul Palmer was bound from
Bangor to coal port light She was
one of the largest schooners in the
New England coal carrying trade, be-
ing 276 feet long. and A feet beam and
carried a crew of 10.
Her identity was learned by radio
message from the steamer Massaehu-
setts which went along side. on her
way to New York and offered help.
Old salts say the disaster was due
to the schooner sailing on Friday, the

Flags Drive Sparrows Away.

Many city and suburban residents
Who have made an effort to have little
home garden from which to secure a
few choice vegetables have had rather
poor success in growing lettuce and
peas. MANY have asserted the seed they
planted was not good and would not
come mp.
Patch after patch of lettuce has been
sown, and in many eases but few scat
tering stalks were the result.
Rows of peas have been planted, and
as soon as they showed through the
ground they would apparently vanish.
The saucy little English sparrows are
responsible for all this, according to the
Philadelphia North American. They
light in the garden in fiocks, and in
few moments devour the small tender
peas and lettuce. Often they will not
leave leaf standing.
The most successful remedy is to
place few small flags about the beds.
Stick them in the ground at equal in
tervals. and the wind will cause them
to futter and the birds will not trouble
the vegetables. A little piece OF muslin
or any other kind of goods in the shape
OF flag will do as well. These need
only be let out long enough to allow
the plants to get good start, as the
sparrows will not devour them except
when Young and tender.

ticularly those who have lots OF cher
res, have to resort 10 similar methods

War of Big Interests Is Pre-
dicted Because of
Uncertainty
| DENIED BY
THE PACKERS
Independents of U. S. Seem
to Be Preparing for
Strife

| New York, June l6.--Rumors of an
impending conflict between the great
packing interests of the world are being
heard with considerable persistency.
These reports, founded on several things
which now affect or are likely soon to
affect the industry, have been in the
days news with much regularity re-
Gently. The New York Sun has gath
cred much interesting data regarding
the present conditions in the packing
trade and prints what may be taken as
fairly accurate indication of the prob
lens which confront the great distrib-
uters of beef and kindred products.
The predictions of meat war are
based on the proposed tariff bill, the
approaching opening of the Panama ca
nal, the revolution in Mexico, the great
decrease in the number of cattle raised
on the ranges of North America, the
gradual decrease in acreage available
for grazing purposes, and the lack of
proyender needed for a certain percent
age of stock which would have been fat
tened on the ranges in the years before
barbed wire fences began to divide the
grazing lands into small farms.
Several packers deny that there is to
be any strife between the companies in
this country and those in Argentina
and Australia, but there are indications
that the small independents are looking
for trouble. These packers show their
reasons for denying the stories of com
ing war; number of them predict
higher meat in this country and some
laugh at the thought that Australian
or Argentine beef can compete with the
North American product for the trade of
the American housewife. However, war
or no war, hte situation is OF in

doilies, the effect is very attractive. The
Japanese napkins can be bought uncut,
two napkins in strip, and two of these
strips laid at right angles across table

Housekeepers who are very thrifty find
ways of utilizing partially worn table

to make plate and tumbler doilies, or
even complete dolly sets. These rounds
