Mr.. BoK's PLAN.

Edward Box has an article In Col
lier's In which he pleads for the es-
tablishment of an American school OF
dress design and the following of our
own fashions after they have once
been established. He says that If we
had taken hold Of American fashions
for American women years ago we
would not now be reaping the whirl-
wind OF "indecency in dress" Mr..
Box proposes the following plan:
THE remedy is perfectly simple,
we must turn away from Paris and the
clothes of her demimonde and set
about to encourage our own designers,
cur own manufacturers, our own
dressmakers, our own industries. Then
we will conserve two things-our own
economic independence and keep %,
| Go0. 900 Of good American dollars al
home where they belong, and our own
moral standards"

noticing the absence of the drinking

with, and the crowds coming from
Bushnell and Keokuk this fall are as
quiet and orderly as SO MANY dele
gates going to YIN c.. A. conven-

of officer F. e. Brown that the road
has had on the job for wear or so.
The law now prohibits drinking on
railroad property and drunk men are
not allowed on trains, and Offcef.
Brown sees that the law Is obeyed
He Is very quiet and gentle about it
but not much escapes his notice and
when he goes after them he gets
them, and his cases stick. It used to
be that coming from the Bushnell fair
was equivalent to going through a
battle. AS a former editor of this

teen miles of fighting and eighteen
fights to the mile" All that is done

BURN THE LEAVES IN THE MORN

The time for burning the leaves is
again here and it is desirable in the
interest of health and safety alike
that the burning be done in the
morning instead of the evening. The
morning air dissipates the smoke and
fumes arising from burning leaves
much more rapidly than does that of
the evening. The smoke and fumes
of burning leaves are injurious to
health. There is also more danger
from confiagrations and accidents
from night bonflres than from those
in the morning.
