A COFFIN FOR HER GIRL
RATHER Than FOOTLIGHTS
Declares Mother Of Atlanta
Maiden

Atlanta, Sept. LTD rather see
her in her coffin than behind the foot
lights said Mrs. c. M Nix this morn
ing, speaking of her pretty sixteen
year-old daughter, Essie, who disap-
peared from home night before last
and whom the police have not yet
been able to find any trace of.
Miss Nix was a telephone operator,
and was noted for her good looks. 1t
is said that she had a number of offers
to go on the stage, and that this is the
reason her mother thinks the lure Of
the footlights may be the solution of
the mystery.
The police are not much inclined to
believe that there has been any foul
play, as the birl disappeared in the
same way last February, and was
found safe week later at the home of
an uncle at Griffin.

MISS connie PAGAN TELLS Of METHODS
EMPLOYED in MISSOURI LEAD MINES
Americas Girl Now Missionary There Performs a
Great Work in the Education of the Il1terate
Ioilers in the Mines-Foreigners Quick to GRASP
English.

Miss Connie Pagan, of Americas,
who is a deaconess of the Southern
Methodist church and now employed
as missionary in joint charge of a
mission for foreigners at Flat Rive,
Mo-, talks interestingly of her work
among these people, who are employee
in the lead mines of that region. After
recent visit in Americas Miss Pagan
has gone to Savannah to visit her
brother, Mr.. J. NJ. Pagan, formerly ag-
ent here for the Central railway and
now holding a very responsible posi-
ton with the railway company in that
city I'm Flat River, Mo-, where our
mission house, called the Wesley
House, is located, there is a population
of 10000. OF these 5000 are foreign
VS. hCoC lOItISHbTS are mostly
Russians, and the rest are Poles, Ital-
ians, Hungarians and Bulgarians. They
do the hard work in the lead mines, OF
which there are four in Flat River.
Americans are foremen of these
workers, and Americans do the work
in the shelters where the lead is melt
ed down from ore, but heavy labor is
done by the foreigners. They do eight
hours work at one shift, there being
day and night shifts, and yet when
, through with this labor, they find time
to come to the Wesley House for in
struction in the English language.

SIMPLE IN LINE, BUT SMART IN
DETAIL AND TRIMMING

The latest verdict at the Deauville
court of fashion was in support of
diaphanous drapery for dressy gowns,
much glittering gold and silver cloth
and skirts narrow at the foot, with an
artful slash In view of these facts
the sketch on the right (7914) is sug
gested as one of the distinctive models
with the desired smart details. The
skirt is cut in three pieces, including
the tunic which is draped to give the
fullness below the hip, The waist is
cut from a single breadth, with the XII
mono shoulder, and fastens at one
side. While it is so simple to make, its
elegance is due to colors and kind of
materials. The foundation is of taupe
color satin and the overdress of taupe
chiffon, with large motifs of gold and
green brocaded in a rose design. The
bodice trimming and girdle with sash
are Of taupe chiffon velours, and the

vest is of very fine ecru tulle. A heavy
gold tassel weights the sash end. Three
and three eighths yards Of So inch
material will make the blouse and tu-
mic, and yards of silk (same width)
will make the underskirt. The pattern
is cut in five sizes. Fifteen cents
A combination Norfolk jacket with
the deep Russian belt effect near the
hips is one of the newest to select for
young girls suit. The design on the
left (724S) is made of gray and black
striped corduroy, with black patent
leather belt. 1t has the military fas-
tening high up at the neck, which is
good for winter as we'll as correct in
style. The skirt is in two breadths,
tapping in the front and in the back,
both pieces being finished and fastened
with four buttons and buttonholes.
Size IL can be made from Az yards of
SO inch material The pattern is cut in

AUTOMOBILE IN
COLLISION With
A fire engine
One KILLED, OTHERS INJURED
Fatal Accident on Savannah
Street

Savannah, Ga, Sept 16-One man
was killed, one injured and many lives
imperiled when a motor-driyen fire
engine and an automobile used by
Assistant Chief 7. J.F ogarty collided at
Broughton and Agercorn streets at
4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon. A
wet pavement is blamed for the acct
dent.
The dead man is Mylas B. Overcast,
a carpenter, who was riding bicycle
in Broughton street when the fire en-
CINE, in recovering from the collision
with the assistant chiefs car, struck
his bicycle, threw him over the right
hand fender of the engine and crushed
out his life instantly.
The man who was injured is Dan
McNish, a driver, who was throw /
from his wagon to the pavement when
IlO HIC SHSlIc, dlI6T olIlhluS Of6T-
cash, dashed into his bakery wagon
from the rear and badly damaged it
McNish is not seriously hurt, a cut
on the left side of his face being the
extent of his injury.
That no more fatalities or casualties
resulted from the accident is consid-
cred remarkable in ciew of the fact
that the collision occurred in a
crowded thoroughfare. Broughton
street was lined on both sides with
| traffic and the sidewalks were crowd
ed with persons attracted by the ap-
proach of the fire apparatus.
Had either of the machines left the
street, it must unavoidably have crush
ed many persons on the sidewalk

these things, and also Of foods before
they can make sensible purchases at
the stores. And it is marvellous how
quickly they learn. Once one of them
gets word rightly in his head he
never forgets it.
The women of the mining district
are always eager to see the mission
airy ladies' as they call us, and after
we leave house they will follow US
to the gate, begging US to come back.
They are almost slaves, poor things,
each one Of them has to provide for
from twelve to twenty men boarders,
and they are eager for companionship
and friendship. Their husbands make
them do all the work in the house for
as many boarders as can possibly be
accommodated.
But out there in the lead mines
there is no child labor. The children
there go to school, and they are learn
ing to be mighty good Americans. They
pick up English readily, and in the
houses the children act as interpre-
ters for the parents. No one can work
in the mines in any capacity until he
is IS years old
American laborers could not stanl
the work that the foreigners do in
the lead mines They work eight hours
day and during one of the eight
hour shifts two men dig and load
forty tons of ore into forty cars. Out
of each shaft of the mines during the
eight hours comes on an average Of
400 cars, or 400 tons, of ore. Fo-
this work the men are paid from
S1.55 to $215 a day.
"In the Wesley House We teach the
girls, children of the laborers, how to
sew their own garments. We also read
to the children and have hours for
song. They like the hymns better than
the other songs.
"On Sundays We have in the after
noon, social hour at the Wesle
House, which is attended by men, wo-
men and children. We have good
music and talks. We are always try
ing to get them to enjoy coming to
the Wesley House. Many of the work
men have been taught the Bible by us,
and many of them have joined the
church. Most of them, when they
come to the mines, if they have au1
religion at all, profess the Catholic
faith"
Miss Pagan is engaged in the class
o' work which it has been decided
Trinity church shall take up in Sa-
Yannah, and it is hoped to interest her
parture, so that the church authori+-
les may have the benefit of her advice
and experience.

The Nashville
Creamery

Editor Leader We desire to
place before the people of Lincoln
county the exact status of the
Nashville Creamery Association.
To do this a history of the organi-
cation will probably be best.
Last August the Nashville Cit
liens Club. by request, took up the
matter of creamery or cheese
factory at this place. Through
the Oregon Agricultural College
information in regard to the cost of
a plant was obtained and the mat
ter was discussed at two of the
Club meetings A canvass among
the dairymen here showed a cream
cry to be more desirable and on ac-
count Of the nature of the country
more practical.
At meeting held for the pur-
pose those interested organized a
cooperative creamery, with the
view of installing a plant for 500
cows. Being unable to raise the
necessary money for the purpose
the cooperative idea was dropped
for the present and a corporation
along similar lines was started.
The shares were placed at $50 each
and enough were sold to build and
equip a plant capable of handling
the cream from 1000 to 1900 COWS.
With very little additional expense
the plant can be enlarged to Ca
pacity Of 1900 cows or more, and so
serve much larger territory than
at present.
On November oath a meeting Of
the stockholders was held and an
organization effe cted. The officers
of the Association are. President,
l.. D. Nash; Vice President. C. o.
Hamar; secretary. D. F. Lister, of
Nashville; Board of Directors, W.
F. Wakefield, Eddyville: J. H.
Chiids, SUNNI t: j. R. Edwards,
Nortons; A. j.. Bewley and James
Hiland. Nashville.
The machinery to equip the plant
has been purchased for Spring de-
livery, and it is intended to have
the plant in operation by April /,
1914.
i Under the constitution adopted
at the stockholders meeting Nov
oath, the president has full charge
of the business affairs of the Asso
citation, subject to the supervision
of the Board of Directors. No one
person can hold more than one-fftt
of the outstanding stock of tn,

holds that amount. The profit.

the outstanding stock. are to bt
divided among the stockholders pre-
rata, according to the amount Of
butterfat received from each. Tn,
stock is distributed as much as pos
sible among the dairymen. on,
share to each person.
This will be practically the same
in effect here as a cooperative
plant. 1t is as near a cooperative
plant as we can get at present. but
it is the intention as soon as the
plant is in successful running or
der, to make it more so or entirely
cooperative.
