THE Columbia Daily Times editor
iaily says:-The liquor interests have
tnst won a big victory in Adalr Co.
Mr.. II. Z. Jones. a merchant who is
president Of the Law and Order Lea.
que. went to his store Sunday
morning to get some cash he had
forgotten and left in the drawer. A
man followed him IN and asked to
buy a pair Of socks, saying that he
worked digging wells in the country
and couldn't get TO town at no other
time Under the circumstances Mr..
Jones felt that he could hardly refuse
and sold him a pair OF socks.
Now the liquor interests we're pIay.
ing the game all right. They had
caught Mr.. Jones in a violation Of the
law, even though It was a mighty
little one. They Immediately had
him arrested and fined in police
court. Thus do they expect to win
the battle for the saloon in Adair
county.

THIS SLIT SKIRT is
MADE WITH BUTTONS

After all, according to proof offered
yesterday. there is a value in the So
called slit skirt, especially when the slit
is buttoned down the front, and support
ed by an undergarment of silk-green or
blue or pink.
The proof was submitted at Third ave-
nue. and Nineteenth street, when a young
and stylish lady attempted to board
trailer for the ball park. She made two
attempts to step upon the trailer plat
form-higher than the steps of an ordi-
nary car-both of which were futile Her
escort offered what assistance he could
but to no good end So finally, the little
lady, STOPPING shyly, unfastened the two
tried again. Her physical effort superin-
duced by the result of her mental calcula-
ton, was highly successful.
The men who beheld the comedy-or
rather drama, for what was at first seri-
Gus ended well and with all in laughter
were impressed. Up TO that moment
they had never been able to understand
the why's and wherefores of the buttoned-
slit. When it was conclusivey demon
strated that as result of the buttons,
the feet could be tied when necessary,
and united when necessary, their eyes
were opened and the understanding was
pleasant.
The lady, herself. was a trifle embar-
rassed. as was her escort. Inasmuch,
however, she proved herself not only
stylish, but practical at the same time,
there was little reason why she should
have been ashamed. On the other hand.
she had reason to be proud of herself.
At any rate that was the verdict of the
men.
