Tells States Finances

Preliminary figures from the
forthcoming bulletin pertaining to
national and state indebtedness and
funds and investments have been
given out by Director w. J. Harris,
of the Bureau Of the Census, Depart
ment of Commerce. The bulletin
carries information for the state Of
Minnesota, as we'll as for the. other
states and the United States. The

ervision of Mr.. John Lee Coulter, ex-
pert special agent in charge of the
inquiry on Wealth, Debt, and Taxa
ton, for many years a resident of
Minnesota. The bulletin, which
will soon be issued, will contain
statistics for each state for each year
from 1880 to 1913, inclusive, as far
as statistics are available, and will
also contain details for the year most
nearly corresponding to 1880, thus
making it possible to show the gen.
eral movement during period of
over 80 years. The bulletin will
show the total debt Of the states, as
we'll as many details, such as the
various classes of outstanding bonds
and special debt obligations to pub
lie trust funds. 1t will also show
the floating debt and it's component
parts. Under Funds and invest
ments' will he shown separately all
the different funds, and in each
case cash and securities will be
shown. The population of the
states for each year under considera-
sion will be used, and the per capita
debt (less sinking fund assets willy
be given. An inspection of the ia
bles for Minnesota, in the bulletin
soon to be issued, shows that only
biennial reports were obtainable
At the present time about 2.2 per
cent of the total population of the
United States viii be found in the
state of Minnesota, and GA per cent
of the total debt .Qess sinking fund
assets) is attributed to this state.

Professor Trevor Kincaid, head of
the Department. of zoology at the
University of Washington, says
swearing has become a lost art. The
youth. of a generation ago, he says,
could "cuss'' blue rings around the
youngster of today. Professor Kin
caid attributes this salutary change
not so much to the Influence of the
Sunday school as to the development
of slang. Slang, he says, has fill
ed the place in the, language once
largely occupied by profanity.

The top coat is an indispensable gar
ment to any wardrobe. For the shorter
designs, the lightweight wocls and the
novelty cotton materials are favored,
but for full-length design, such as is
shown in No. 1890, a lightweight
serge or ratine would be preferable, as
they have Slightly more dressy az
pearance and the coat MAJ then be
used for many purposes ether than
sport. If ratine or serge we're. used
with this design, the broad collar,
revers and cuffs would be effective
made of cotton velvet, benga1ine or
MORE in somewhat brighter shade
than the body Of the coat. This coat
has one of the new wide armholes with
the sleeve set in at normal Shout
der line. The length Of the coat is IS
inches. For size 36, ~ yards of A.
inch material will be required with
five.eighths of yard of contrasting
material for collar and cuffs. The pat
tern is cut in six sizes, 80 to ~.
THIS is A PERFECT PATTERN.
Be sure to give right size, measuring
over the fullest part of the bust for
dimensions.
T 1t may be obtained by filling out the
coupon and enclosing 15c in STAMPS
or coin to the Pattern Department of

Is most cordially invited to attend.
The members OF the society at this
place have just completed a new
brick edifce which they had expected
TO dedicate at this time, but the
deeds TO the lot have not as yet ar
rived. and as il is necessary under
the rules OF the society that a church
shall be free from all Indebtedness
before It can be dedicated, this cere

thing remains to prevent it but the
receipt OF the deed for the lot.

Hale is president. Mr.. Samuel Smitl

Compliments Our Boys.

most favorable terms OF our ball team
AZ witness the following from the
Times regarding the game recently
played there:
Jerome was at her best last Sun
day afternoon and took from Twin
Falls the last game of the series by
the score OF 2 to 0. While 1t was a
keen disappointment for the Local
boys not to win this game. particu-
larly with the added strength OF
Mitchell and Lawrensen in the in
field. all credit must be given to the
Northsiders for the great game they
put up. Their fielding was of high
order and they were deadly at the
bat. The big laurels, however, mus
he handed to Ashenfelter, who pitch
ed mastery ball. Only three OF oul
boys found him at all and their hit
we're so we'll distributed that not
sehblance OF score resulted. II
short. IL was pitching OF a majo
league caliber that Twin Falls face
throughout the game.
