eRlEvEs LIVERY CHANGE HANDS
Harry Lower Purchases Business and
Took Hold on Monday.

Harry B. Grieves, who was elected
and is now comptroller of Kent
County, has sold his livery and haul
ing business to Harry J. Lower of
Dover, son of the late Ephriam Lower
of Brenford. The latter took hold on
Monday and makes an announcement
to the public in his advertisement
published in another column. Mr..
Lower is well-known here and needs
no introduction. He has the best
wishes of his many friends. The re-
linquishing of this old and established
business by Mr.. Grieves is not with
out some regret. For 80 years he
has conducted a livery and hauling
business and had not only built up a
large trade but won many friends by
his kind, obliging manners and his
painstaking effort. With the duties
of his new Office he was unable to at
tend to his Smyrna business, hence
the sale as above mentioned.

lowed the hunt after him until about

At an adjourned meeting Friday

ing received no petition from the tax
payers, decided not to buy the gas

had any petitions in the matter or any
requests from the citizens of Smyrna

ing the plant. He replied he haC
none. In fact he reported no enthu-

CURLING FEATHERS.
How to Restore These Decorations "a
Their Pristine LONELINESS.

How to Restore These Decorations TO
Their Pristine loneliness.
Ostrich feathers. although not so
tightly curled as the old fashioned
plumes. look even more bedraggled and
forlOrn when out Of curl than the old
ones did. Yet fogs and mists or rains
are as frequent as ever. and ostrich
feathers are now worn at all times of
the day and night regardless Of the
weather Plumetis feathers were put
forward to ill the role Of a feather
which moisture would not change. but
they do not take the place Of the 0s-
trich feather.
There Is only one thing to do II you
wear ostrich feathers. and that Is to.
learn how to carl them. 1t Is impos-
sible to send feather to the profess
sional cleaner to be curIed every time
there Is a summer shower.
When the moist hat with feather
trimming IL removed put it. II pos
sible. near q fire. Heat often restores
a good deal Of the lost curl. When this
is not possible let the feather dry thor.
oughly and then recurl 1t with nail
file. the blunt edge of knife or some
other steel or silver blade which Is not
sharp.
Work with one or two Of the fronds
of the feather at time. Catch them
between the thumb and the blade near
the stem of the feather and slowly and
firmly draw the thumb and the blade
along the fronds to the edge. II neces-
sary go over some of the feathers twice.
1t is surprising how rapidly this curl
ing can be done. and II 1t Is carefully
done after little practice the feather
will look quite as well as If 1t had been
curled by a professional.

Every person who lives in this Pu-
get Sound country is apt to breathe a
sigh of relief and give silent thanks,
over the fact that he is living here,
after reading about the extreme heat
of the Middle West and the dry wealth
er which in many places has nearly
destroyed the crops. There are thou
sands of inhabitants in those states
who, did they realize the vast differ
ence in climate and temperature,
would be living here inside of year
or two. This question of climate and
extreme healthfulness Of the country
are among our greatest assets and
should be forcibly dwelt upon by all
who are DESTROYS of getting their rela-
tives and friends to come out here to

No Tribute to Wall Street.
(Kettle River Journal.)


When President Wilson ordered the
secretary of the treasury to announce
that from $25.OOO,OO to $5O,0O00O0
would be deposited by the government
in the banks of the South and the
West, with which to move the crops
If that much were needed, he made a
big hit with the farmers. Heretofore,
under Republican rule, Wall Street
would squeal about shortage of money,
and then large sums would be deposit
ed by the federal government in the
Wall Street banks. and then they
would lend the money to the western
and Southern banks which in turn
would loan 1t for crop-moving pur-
poses Under the Wilson method they
get the money without paying tribute
to Wall Street. We are not apt to
hear of any more tightness about NOV
ing the large crops Of this year.

Thaw Gets TOO Much Publicity.


The escape of Harry x. Thaw from
the asylum for the insane at Mattea-
wan, New York, and his capture in
Canada, Is given prominence that it
does not deserve. The imposing again
on the public of the nauseating details
of the trial of Thaw for the murder of
Stanford White is entirely uncalled for
and can be productive of no good re-
suit. That somebody blundered, inten-
tionally or otherwise, there can be no
doubt, but that is no disgrace to the
state of New York. Honest criticism
is justifiable but the criticism, even
then, must be directed against the
guilty person or persons and not
against millions of innocent people.
The thing for the newspapers to do
with the Thaw affair is to accord it no
more notice than would be accorded
the escape of a nOnentity from any
asylum for the insane. Thaw is worth
no more notice than that.
