AN ART TO CULTIVATE.

An Englshwoman addressing school of girls
said IL would express my admiration for the
girls OF today, especially those who belong 10
the educated classes At time in the worlds
history has the young woman so well mastered
the art OF making the best OF herself and taking
care OF her clothes.
II maintain that no girl can be taught too
Young to take a healthy interest in dress to UNI
derstand It's preliminary laws. to study color
and style and 10 master the rudments OF MILL
merry and dressmaking. To be able TO make
good blouse or to renovate last seasons milli
merry, is even a more useful accomplishment than
to have a smattering OF science, 10 sing, play or
paint, ~ sEcn to bake bread"
That ,gas bold to talk to a graduating class
but it is talk that is worth while Nowadays
woman must look her best to do her best
Clothes and the way they worn are factor
in success
A musical club wished to engage a soloist for
one OF the clubs musicales. Two names were
under discussions each had the same number OF
votes on the committee. The chairman who had
the deciding vote said IL decide for Miss Blank
She may possibly not be quite so much OF an
artist the other, but her personality IS so
charming she dresses so we'll has so attractive
presence that she'll take better
That holds true in everything one does Given
two applicants for a position, two strivers for
social success that girl wins out who has studied
how 10 make the most Of herself
1t is an unknowing person who decides the
modern girl is frivolous because she wants to
look we'll The maiden of today in her mid
Victorian fichu is more practical than the girl
who first wore a pannier and puffs and tucker.
She usually has her own dress allowance and
learns 10 live within it, To her, clothes mean
winning out in everything she undertakes.
And its another mistake 10 think the girl OF
today cannot sew. She may not learn at home.
but she begins to handle her needle in kindergar-
ten days and doesn't stop until she is through
the practical sewing courses in the intermediate
schools and is ready for technical dressmaking
and millinery in special domestic science courses.
The girl so behind the times As not to know
how to make the best OF herself and take care
OF her clothes should specialize that art. Time
and money spent in its acquisition yield big re-
turns in increased power
As our minds run TO economy let's not let
the kitchen be the beginning and the end. Let
every department bear its own share OF the
responsibility. Where will economy be found
better than in sewing; DO YOU remember
series of articles in the Ladies Home Journal
where articles were shown where the store bought
and homemade articles were shown upon girl
and YOU were asked which was which. ] couldn't
tell, could YOU? Then have every tot learn TO

cial organization, will also enter an
official car for the trip. These or
ganiza lions will both have repreSen-

that pres representatives from the
Topeka and st. Joseph newspapers

II has been arranged by the st. 10
seph Commercial club and the st.
Joseph Auto club to entertain Cover
nor Hodges in that city for dinner on
the evening of September Y, IN con-
nection with a good roads meet~-g.
The Rock Island Highway associa-
ton was organized at delegate
meeting held at BelIeville about four
months ago in which meeting the st.
Joseph Auto club and Commercial
club took an active part. This new
highway passes through the northern
tier of Kansas counties and claims
the shortest mileage from the Mis-
souri, river to the Rocky mountains
Since the association was organized
practically every county through
which it passes has recognized the
road and designated it as a county
road, which insureS it county support
and funds Most of the counties have
done cement. bridge and culVert
work on the route and many miles OF
it have been carefully graded and
dragged.
This official trip will be the first
inspection trip over the line. Metallic
signs or markers are being placed
along the route, which read: The
Rock Island Highway, st. Joseph
Denver" The route merges into the
Gold Belt line at Colby. Good roads
meetings will be held at every town
along the route. Relay parties made
up by the local motor clubs will meet
and escort the official party from one
county seat to the next. n prize pen
nant will be given the county which
shows the most road work done since
the organization of the association. a
schedule of the trip is being prepared
which will show the stops at each
town visited and the night controls.
Governor Hodges, d. E. Watkins,
State Highway Engineer Gearhart and
others will do the speech making.

EDITOR GOT CHANGE OF VENUE.
Assault Case to Be Heard at Manhat-
tan E'ridaY Morning.

Manhattan. Aug. 2S.-The case of
the state against A. H. Hammond,
editor of the Riley County Democrat,
will come up for it's second trial Fri
day. This time the case will be called
before Justice A. S. Porter, the de-
Tense having succeeded in getting a
change of venue from the court of
Justice G. G. Wilder. The case is the
result of trouble which arose about
three weeks ago between Mr.. Ham
mond and n. w. Huston, editor of the
Nationalist. When the latter enter
ed the Democrat office to borrow a
cut, Hammond chased him out of his
place with an iron bar. Hammond
was arrested for assault and tried be-
fore Justice Porter. The jury failed
to return a verdict. The state has now
limited that it may ask for a change
of venue from Justice Porter'S court,
which would mean that the case will
be tried before some justice of the
peace of Manhattan township.

falfa seed from a SO-acre field was
threshed by Harry Starkey, a Cotton
wood valley farmer living near Elm
dale this week. The seed aVera ged a
little better than ten bushels to the
acre, and so far is the heaviest yield
to be reported by alfalfa farmers this
year. Early in the season Starkey cut
from the same field more than 80 tons
of hay. which was worth SO or S12 a
ton. At the present price. of alfalfa
seed. which is from 50 to $3.50 per
bushel, he will realize from $50 to $50
more per acre from the field and then
still has the chances of raising another
hay crop before frost comes this fall.

HASKELL TO BEGIN SOON.
Opening Date Set for September 4
Indians Getting Progressive.

Lawrence, Kan, Aug. 2S.-The stu
dents at Haskell will get into action
early this year. The date for the
opening of the term has been set for
Thursday, September 4. Practically
all of the girls and boys who are not
now at the institute are expected to
arrive on the second and third of the
month, and the authorities hope to get
in two days of school the same week.
Time was when men from Haskell
went out to the Indian tribes to solicit
pupils for the school The Indians
did not take very kindly to the idea of
higher education in those days, and
it was something of a pull to raise en-
rollment up to the desired figure. 1t
is different now. All that has to be
done is to answer applications. There
are every year more students who
want to attend Haskell than can be
taken care of at the institute. There
is dormitory room for $50, and an at
tempt is made to keep the number of
students down to the capacity of the
sleeping apartments. For this reason
the figure of the enrolment at the
school is almost the same from year
to year.

At the same time nine sod cutters in
another field put 100 acres of ground
in shape. Conrad has just recovered
from long spell of sickness and then
his wife was taken sick. This kept
him from the. field and consequently
nothing had been done towards get

their wives at a nearby church.
