From thursdays Daily
When Fashion Spells Economy.

II isn't every year that we may
take a shabby blue serge suit and an
out-of-syle black satin frock and,
after cleaning and pressing, combine
them into a dress that is quite up
to date. This and similar delight
full economies are quite possible now
and remodeling is robbed of most
of its difficulties. A drop skirt Of
lining will be made and faced, about
twelve inches deep, at the lower
edge, with the black satin. The
serge skirt will be drawn up at the
waist, making II fuller here and
about the hips, the fullness laid in
a couple OF plaits; or else this larg-
er measure will be fitted into the
waist size and the seams run out
sharply toward the lower edge to
give more spring" or fare. The
long tunic, only nine or ten inches
shorter than the underskirt, is the
most fashionable at present. OF
course, cutting off the lower part OF
the serge skirt, where the edge Is
badly worn, Is the simplest mat
ter in the world. The sleeves may
be made OF the satin and the re-
mainder OF the waist OF the serge.
A wide belt of serge, with black
satin buttons at the closing will con-
meet tunic and waist
And the new hip yokes! Do you
realize what a blessing a yoke Is in
making over a skirt? When Jokes
were not in style, how often we have
seen exactly the way to remake a
skirt IL we might only put a yoke
at the top Of 1t. or course, the yoke
must be the same material as the
skirt. When we make these new
old combinations we must be q little
careful in selection, but by taking
thought we may go ahead and re-

seemed hopeless because color or
material could not be matched

William l.. Foster of Good Thunder

Foster simply played with the rest,

Is thought that he could have made
better time than he did, had he
desired. He made the first mile
in one minute and twenty seconds.
the second IN one minute and twen-

one fourteen and a half.
The races took place just an hour
behind its scheduled time on ac.
count of the tardy arrival of three
of the racers, who had understood
that they were to be on hand at
two o'clock, whereas they were ex.
pected at cne. Perhaps the delay
was rather fortunate than otherwise.
for at one o'clock, when the race
was to have begun, according to
the program, there were few specta.
tors on hand. Every car, however,
brought in a crowd after that and
the grandstand and bleachers filled
rapidly. Crowds gathered about the
fences and by two o'clock there was

Window, Minn., September 16, 1914
TO The Free Press: II the enclosed
is clipping from your paper ! wish
to tell you as one who has known Rev
Graves for twenty-five years that
there is only a grain OF truth In the
clipping. 1t is true that years ago.
when he first Joined the church, they
taught that people should not eat
pork. A farmer In Ransom township
decided to kill his hogs. Rev. Graves
had a part in II and spent one night
In the jail at Worthington. He was
sorry for the part he had in the az.
fair.
Rev. Graves has lived in Zion City,
ILL.,, since leaving Bigelow some eight.
cen years ago, although he Is not n
member Of Zion now. He is in evan.
gelistic work. doing much good and
living with his wife and three chill
dren.
/ feel you should correct what you
have printed and you are at liberty
to use this letter. Yours truly, G. l..
Morgan, Window, MINI.
This letter has reference to a story
published in the Heron Lake News
and copied In The Free Press. Carl
Eastwood, editor of The News, states
that the Information contained in the
story was furnished him by a former
newspaper man at Fairview, Mont.
Mr.. Eastwood informed the Free
Press today that while he was in
Fairview not long ago. the former
editor OF The Times in that city re-
lated to him story of Rev.
Graves. who formerly lived at Bige-
low, Mlnn., and who was sentenced
to the state penitentiary In North
Dakota for making vicious assault
on his own life. It may be that the
newspaper man at Fairview had
some other Graves in mind, and II
he did, certainly an apology Is due
Rev. Graves of Zion City. as there
was no intention on the part of The
Free Press or any other newspaper
to implicate him IN any crime or
prison sentence.

MASONIC.

A correspondent from south
east Missouri criticizes the
Grand Masters for the infre-
quency of their visits to that
section of the Masonic jurisdic-
ton and we have heard SINH
lar criticisms of Grand Masters
who have visited that section
and asked that their expenses
be paid for so doing. Lodges
in southeast Missouri contain
some Of our best Masons but
the matter of official visitations
involves an item of cost which
conscientious leaders hesitate
TO make. The southeast is an
agricultural section and it is
difficult in many cases to as.
semble the brethren during the
working eason without great
inconvenience to Them There
are several sides to the vista
ton question and most of the
Masons realize this. The fact
that other heads of societies
make their annual pilgrimages
and "cleanings" upon that sec
ton should have no bearing
whatever upon the actions of
the Grand Master of Masons.

MASONIC.


The midnight services held by the
higher degrees of Masonry over the
remains of deceased de%votees are
very impressive and proper, no doubt;
but it does appear improper that the
sorrowing family should be dragged
out to such services at such hours, es-
pecially as the funeral services are
to be held upon the following day to
further tax the exhausted energies of
the grief stricken ones. This looks
somewhat like a too severe endurance
test and 1t ought to be discontinued.
There is no reason for the presence
Of the family at these services and
they should be urged to stay at home.
There is too much paganism about our
funerals, too much morbidity and SEN
seless demonstration.

cause they are ours and because we

we shall come into our own and not
