II. Nj. O'BANNON

II. NJ. O'BANNON
KNOB LICK. MO.
Candidate for Circuit Clerk, Subject
to the Democratic Vote at the
August Primary
No county in the state of Missouri
has greater number of educated
farmers than has st. Francois coun-
ty. From the farms of the county
have come some of our best men and
prominent citizens. In the coming
Democratic Primary in August the
people of the county will have an OPP
portunity to choose for their Circuit
Clerk man born and raised on u
farm in this county in the person Of
II. NJ. O'Bannon, of Knob Lick, Mo.
Mr.. O'Bannon has taught school
for the past sixteen years, and dur
ing that time has been connected with
only four different schools. His sue
cess as a teacher and instructor has
been above the average and when his
services had been secured the mem
bers of the school board have always
been reluctant to have him leave. Mr.
" Damon SPaInE from lHc tplllHloll
people and his sympathies are with
the workers in the mines of this dis
trict He is n born Democrat and
has always been party worker,
though he has never held a political
office in his life.
The Miners Union journal believes
that Mr.. O'Bannon has all the quail
ifications necessary to make good
Circuit Clerk. He is n man Of edu
cation, judgment and ability, n good
citizen, husband and father. He has
charming wife and family of six
boys and one girl. He has always

of the county and is public spirited
and enterprising. He has hosts of

MISSOURI GOOD ROAD
DAYS AUGUST 1919
Gov. Major Expects 100000 Citizens
TO Give 20 Hours Work to
Highways

Highways
Jefferson City, Mo-, July lS.-Gov
Major issued proclamation today
designating August Is and 10 as good
road days and calling upon Missouri
women, the newspapers, the county
courts, road ovcrseers commercial and
civil organizations, automobile clubs
and road socities to contribute their
help toward getting out an army of
volunteer workmen upon the high
ways during these two days.
The Governor announced that he
>wil put in twenty hours of work dur
ing the two days, and he believes that
there is not fewer than 100000 other
abe-boded Missourians who will do
Likewise.
He suggests in his proclamation
that the work done be of permanent
character so far as practicable, such
us grading, culvert building, ditching,
dragging, crawling, etc.
Gov. Major held good road days
last year, and it was estimated that
fully 100000 men worked the roads
Of the State, doing work valued ut
$1,000. 900. He hopes to break last
years record this year.
He suggests in his proclamation
the necessity of organization in the
various counties and road districts,
so there will be no lost motion. He
would like to see every volunteer
workman turn ont with proper tools,
team, material etc, so no time will
be lost.
Most work will be done, he believes,
upon the dirt roads, which, the gov
ornor said, represent the first leg OF
the journey over which moves the
traffic of the State" The dirt roads,
he says, "are the real highways Of
commerce." and should receive much
The proclamation states that Mis-
souri, has $3.50 miles Of uninproyed
dirt roads, 54,264 miles Of improved
dirt roads, and 6507 miles Of gravel,
macadam or other permanently con-
structed roads The total mileage is
$4,000.
Appeal to Women
Linked with the road problem is the
question of better schools, better ag-
riculture, better community life, bet
ter commerce and better civilization,
he said. Here is the Governors ap-
peal to the women to prepare dinner
for the road workers:
81 request the women Of Missouri
to again prepare dinners and see that
the laborers are served upon the high
ways. They contributed much to the
success of the work last year, realiz-
ing the fact that better roads would
bring better community life and
more pleasure to the women who have
east their fortunes in the homes of
rural Missouri"

SENSIBLE SCHOOL FROCKS.
Wise Mothers Make Them Of Wash
Materials the Year Round.


The majority Of mothers agree that
tub frocks are the proper thing for
wear the year round for girls under
fourteen years of age, and children OF
the best families seldom wear anything
else. Wooden frocks are out OF the
question, and silk is employed sparing-
ly, even for party wear, sheer cOttons
and fine linens being given preference.
For hygenic reasons tub frocks
should be looked upon with favor by
every mother. and when it is necessary
to ecOnomiZe in laundry work materials
that have q rough finish and that re-
quire little or no ironing may be Sc
lected.
These frocks for little people are
designed for various needs, and with
such inducements that the small lady
herself will find it hard to choose be-
tween them. Those intended for every
day wear should be of materials that
are strongly woven and of colors that
are durable.
For autumn and winter wear such
goods as galatea. percale, pique. kin
dergarten cloth, heavy linen and ratine
are recommended. These materials
come thirty to thirty-six inches wide,
and as they are cut to advantage only
a few yards will be needed. They are
sure to give satisfaction so far as
wearing qualities are concerned.

SILK TO THE FRONT.
Strongly Recommended Again For
Street and Afternoon Wear.

Strongly Recommended Again For
Street and Afternoon Wear.
Street and afternoon dresses of cloth
and Of silk are much In demand, says
the Dry Goods Economist. At the be-
ginning Of the seaso it was antici-
pated that cloth would lead in ma
tcrials for these garments. AS the sea-
son advances, however, silk has again
come strongly to the front and Is now
quite as much in request as are dresses
of serge, Of gabardine, Of broadcloth
and of fancy worsteds.
Satin and charmeuse dresses are
popular. also the models made Of these
materials combined with chiffon, with
velvet. with fur fabrics and with
brOadclOth.
In the smart dresses where satin is
employed for the skirt and the bodice
chiffon is much used for the sleeves
and for the plated tunics. Transparent
sleeves of chiffon, Of net and of lace
are featured in many of the new gar
ments. not only those made Of satin,
but of cloth as we'll. These sleeves are
usually lined with white chiffon or net
so that the arm will not be too much
exposed.
AS few of the new dress styles per-
NIT of transparent yokes or the use of
diaphanOus materials in other sections
of the bodice, these transparent sleeves
are very practical. They not only make
the garment cooler in appearance, but
add considerably to the comfort OF the
Wearer.

RUSSIAN INFLUENCES STRONG.
Even In the Fashion World They Are
Making Themselves Felt.

Suggestive of the Russian influence
upon present day modes is the ankle
length sleeveless coat-Or tunic-Of
white chiffon, embroidered with cob
web circles in silver thread and edged
with silver bead fringe.
Sable banding two inches wide Dor
ders the neck and the loose fronts OF
this tunic, which is swathed about the
waist and partially about the hips with
a broad sable hued velvet girdle fasten-
ing under a deep pink rose. The tunic
Is drawn over u white chiffon frock
whose draped skirt Is very narrow In
comparison with the full folds Of the
silver embroidered fur bordered gar
ment.
Its bodice is gathered to a closely IT.
ted high neckband, which. however, Is
concealed by a white satin ribbon tie,
above which flares a wire edged plated
chiffon collar. Double ruffles Of chiffon
trim the fairly narrow elbow sleeves,
which are gathered into the small arm
eyes of short cut shoulders.
