Star-Spangled Banner Is Sacred,
Says G. A. R. Head.
Washington Gardner, Commander-In-
Chief, Makes Plea That 1t Be Kept
Honored by All as American
National Anthem.

Detroit-A plea for the perpetual
ton of The Star-Spangled Banner as
the American anthem, without alloy,
was made fervently by Washington
Gardner, commander-in-chief of the
Grand Army of the Republic. in his
address before the forty-eighth ma
tionaI encampment of that organiza-
ton here.
He urged the old soldiers to join in
a movement to pay special honor to
this song, and to discountenance the
practice Of playing it in medley with
such "fippant and comparatively
meaningless ditties" as Yankee
Doodle" and When JoAnnie Comes
Marching Home"
He said there was something in
spring in an audience rising and
standing uncovered at the majestic
strains Of the national anthem, but it
was ''incongruous, bordering even on
the ludicrous," for the band to strike
up some other national air in medley
with this, and to observe the audience
resume sitting in "an irregular, half
ashamed manner" It were better not
to rise ct all when the national hymn
is played in medley, he said.
A recommendation that permanent
headquarters for the G. A. R. be estab-
ished in Washington was another
point of his address Chicago and
Philadelphia had been proposed, but
he prefeEed the national capital, and
thought that if possible the necessary
space should be secured in a govern

Chauffeurs Are KICKING.

A wealthy widow elopes with a.
chauffeur" or AN heiress elopes with
her fathers chauffeur" is a familiar
headline in the New York papers. The
chauffeur is a knight Grant. Surely
there was never a knight more Grant
than he. He is the wizard of the
hammer and wrench. 1t is proper
that he should displace Vulcan in the
affections of Venus. If women once
gladly ran away with the coachnan,
by reason of the coachman's mastery
over that admirable beast, the horse,
how much more susceptible they must
be to the transcendant destinations of
the modern chauffeur.
There is nothing petty or squalid
abont the chauffeur except the strange
title. The "chauffeur"-a stoker. or
man who makes fire under a boiler!'
1t is not merely undescriptive, it is,
ignominous. The chauffeurs' union is.
just getting on to what the title means,
and they believe that since they have.
been called upon to play the hero role
they should be known by something.
fine and imposing They suggest that
they be called the charioteer, orj

Baby's Punchwork Coat.

For the lingerie coat of the very
small baby punchwork would probably
be too elaborate, but for the little one
two years old and upward lingerie
coat embroidered in punchwork is very
pretty. The design used, however,
must not be very large. Glover leaves
are about the right size, and for the
child who is somewhat older a flower
as large as wild roses or dogwood
blossoms can be used. The leaves,
too, may be done in punchwork, al
though some might consider this leaf
punchwork, together with the flowers,
too ornamental for the little people.
When the little batiste coat has under
it its padded lining of colored silk the
effect is charming The lining must
be one Of only three colors, white,
pink or Blue. Other coIors would not
be suitable for baby. The edges and
hem of the coat may DO either hem
stitched or scalloped and worked In
buttonhole stitch.

Another Year of State Prosperity

Another Year of State Prosperity.
The year 1914 will not be far diff
ferent from those that preceded il
from the Wisconsin farmers stan !
point. Perhaps prices will be some
what higher as a result of the Euro.
pean war. But the same prosperity
that has prevailed for many years will
continue. There will be more fine
homes and splendid barns. There will
be moro silos and more homes will
have heating, lighting and water sys-
tens installed in them. There viii
be more comfort on the farms.
The automobile companies are now
catering to the farmers. Some have
thought TO make cheap ones for the
farmer, but they have learned that the
farmers of Wisconsin have some no
tons that had not been reckoned
upon. They want good machines. The
year 1914 will make a greater showing
in the extension of agriculture in the
state than any other year. Settlers
by the hundreds have gone into the
upper counties. and those who have
located in recent years have made
great progress in improving their
farms. All in all, 1914 will be good
year in the state.

backed with white net to give it body,

the straps do not broaden out as in
front, but are kept narrow and cross
over each other at the center. The
blouses that such little vests are worn
with must be of sheer batiste or net,
or the desired effect will be lost.
Satin velvet and plain or flow
cred taffetas are other popular mate
rails to make up the vests in and In
any color desired.
With its customary inconsistency
fashion suggests turning about this
idea of the silk or chiffon vest with
the net or lacy blouse, ard fashions
a vest of net or lace TO wear with
the silk blouse. No doubt the idea
will be played up in many interesting
ways before the summer is over, for
it certainly has desirable possibilities,
and by being well supplied with all
such dainty trifes one can almost
establish a reputation for being ex-
ceptionally well dressed this season.

HONOR PAST HISTORY

Fox Indian reservation, and each
spring, after the ice went out, the In
dams came down the Des Moines
river, which empties into the Missis-
sippi across from Warsaw, and there
met traders from st. Louis. That in
itself was one reason for Zachary Tay-
lor's selection of the Illinois bluffs at
Warsaw as point Of vantage for
Fort Edwards.
Gradually civilization changed the
nature of the country, but the years
have not lessened the grandeur of its
river scenes. Progress has marked the
points where the red men met the
traders from the south. Today from
Fort Edwards point the great Keokuk
power dam may be seen one mile to
the north as monument to the ad-
vance Of a once desolate region.
Fort Edwards was named after the
first governor of Illinois, Ninian w.
Edwards. Toward the erection of the
monument in its memory the state
of Illinois appropriated $4,000.
The old stockade did not achieve
any particular notoriety as a scene of
battle. But it was a landmark in the
civilization of the great Mississippi
valley, and as such deserves the honor
that Illinois now pays 1t.
Among other things Warsaw is
noted historically as the boyhood
home of John Hay, and the house
where his father and mother lived
and died still stands, within two
blocks of Fort Edwards point.
The new monument is built of
Barre granite, and is fifty feet in
height. On the sides will be placed
bronze tablets of Zachary TAYLOR. the
fort, and OF Governor Edwards

Humane legislation to aid depend

The platform reafirms belief in a

and abroad, to the end that business
may be encouraged, our workingmen
protected, agricultural interests safe
guard and prosperity again restored
upon safe and firm basis.
The party is in favor of placing all
state educational institutions on a
strictly business basis to the end that
all moneys for their support may be
egDelly distributed and that economic
al engagement of these institutions
may be promoted.
They believe that in matters Of ed
ucatiOn the principal concern of the
state should be given first considera-
ton in the educational program of the
state.
They are proud of the university,
and wish to maintain it as an educa-
tional institution of the highest stand
ard. The expense of its maintenance,
however, has become large and must
be limited to a sum the people can
afford to pay. They favor the estab-
lishment of plan under which non
resident students shall pay a tuition
fee that represents the amount ex-
pended by the people of this state for
their education.
Water power is conserved by being
used. The Republican party believes
in the development and utilization of
this great natural resource. ANY fur
Their legislation needed to encourage
this development should be enacted,
conserving, however, the interest of
the people therein.
They are opposed to the enlarge
ment of the forest reserve area at
state expense. Only non-agricultural
lands should be retained for reforesta.

ARTISTIC WORK WITH NEEDLE
Raised Effects Just Now Are Easily
the Most Popular of the
Various Designs

For some time there has been OBJ
servable IN needlework a decided ten
dency toward raised effects First
we had the loop embroidery. and then
the exquisite results obtained with
French ribbon work
Now We have that beautiful English
art silk known as guayona, rather
heavy silk, with which raised flower
can be formed with more ease than
with an ordinary silk
Another fancy of the autumn is the
German knot stitch, by means of
which the most compact and HfeliRe
little buds may be formed without
the necessity for any padding what
ever.
English art work is still another fad
that has seized upon US for the mo-
ment. This form of needlework pro-
duces full and thick rambler roses and
Scotch heather that looks for all the
world like the real thing.

FOR A DURABLE BUTTONHOLE
to Be Worked Into Material
That Is Heavy.

heavy material such as linen, duck or
madras, mark with thread the place
and size with row of machine stitch
ing on both sides as close as possible,
then cut with pair of sharp scissors
and work in the usual way.
Not only does this help in wearing
but is very much easier to work and
does not need fine stitches. In sewing
on buttons in goods that have a great
deal of wear, try sewing them on by.
placing a toothpick under the button
and then sewing in the usual way, be-
ing careful to fasten the ends firmly.
