Do NOT ADVERTISE SALOONS
Booster Never Makes Prominent Men,
ton of Number Of Drinking Places
Town Could Boaet OF.

Did you ever know of a town or
county or state which deliberately ad-
vertised itself as being possessed of
numerous saloons and places where
liquor could be purchased? Did you
ever read a booster" that enumerated
at the head Of it's column, or at the
foot, the number of saloons of which
the town advertised could boast? An
employer never puts in his advertise
ment for help, Drinking man pre-
ferred." On the contrary, advertise
ments appear even in the liquor jour
nails for sober and abstinent en-
ployes, and to quote the Battle Greek
Enquirer, THE argument that wet
county is better than a dry county
never goes past campaign use-it
never gets into community adyertis

A New York hotel. one OF the promi.
nent ones Of that city, has a scheme
which it has just put In operation by
which 1t hopes to solve the tipping
question. The management has de-
cided to make a reduction of 10 per
cent. on all checks of more than so
cents, a reduction supposedly equiva-
lent to the average tip. This act will
relieve guests of the necessity Of pay
ing twice for service. This probably
is the best scheme yet presented as a
solution to the tipping evil, 1t is
sane, and while assuming that a ma
jority Of guests would resent request
not to tip walters and recognizing that
it would be an impossibillty to en-
force an order to prevent walters
from accepting tips, the management
has taken the dignified way out OF the
difficulty.

DICTATES OF FASHION.

There is a great vogue for crepe de
chine lingerie.
There is a tendency to the long
waist lines this season.
Plumes are wonderfully shaded, no
colors being used.
All the hats are youthful in design
and appearance.
Some walking costumes are made Of
cerise mummy cloth.
The long, pointed slippers Of the
Parisennes are expected to be fash
ionable,
The Indian silk crepe is the most
popular and is woven in many odd de-
signs.
All cloths, whether tailor mades or
soft gowns, must positively look limp
and cllnging; anything in the least
firm or stiff looking Is taboo.

If we can safeguard the young to

MULE BREEDING ON INCREASE
Hardy Animals Are In Constant De-
mand Over Much Wider Territory
Than Ever Before.

It is estimated that % per cent. Of
the mares bred last year were mated
with iackasses.
There is a perfect Juror for mule
breeding. Mules are In constant de-
mand over a much wider range of ter
ritory than heretofore.
Mule foals bring as high as $125 at
weaving time, and none of them sell
cheap, quality of mare and foal con
sidered.
That such breeding will result in a
shortage of breeding mares even for
mule raising, there can be no doubt.
There is a tendency already to price
mares much higher than geldings.
Mule raising is hard on mares and
wears them out sooner than sucking
horse foals.

Latest Idea.

The long, classic jacket for tailored

shorter. The fronts are rounded or

very smart. The Russian blouse is
suggested, but the lower portion is
plated and made to fall very long.
This is not so effective in wooden
