ART EXHIBIT AT
THE COUNTY JAIL

Art collections are becoming popu-
lar at the county Jail. For the past
few days the Jail proper has boasted
the only collection, but today Deputy
Jack Graham is the proud exhibitor
of number of oil paintings bearing
the signature of his 19-year old sis
ter, who has been studying art in New
York for the past three years.
Graham held up the pictures before
an audience this morning, inviting
criticism. Probably the most striking
picture in the lot is the portrait of an
Arab.
"It's a good picture," declared Dep
uty Cummings, "but never did like
Hindus."
Undersheriff Anderson expressed y
similar prejudice, but no one volun-
teered information as to what had
aroused the antipathy of the officers
toward Hindus in general. Six can
vases comprise the collection and the
work throughout is cleverly executed.
care you connOisseur?" is becom-
ing a popular query at the Jail.

GLOVER FACTORIES CLOSE.

GDyersville is feeling the effects of
the European war, in the closing Of
the Glover Shirt Factory, throwing
ninety. girls out of employment. The
plant which has been running at full
capacity for several years will this
week wind up its final run, prepara-
tory to closing down for an indefinite
period. The Glover Company has a
result has brought about a scarcity of
been shut down.
The cause Of the temporary sus-
pension Of operation is attributed. to
the impossibility OF securing dyes
used In the manufacture Of prints
used in shirts made at the plant. The
result has brought about a scarcity Of
considerable over the time of other
similar factories. Most Of the WOOL
en- mills in Iowa and manufacturers
throughout the United States have
had to close down entirely, Or run
only a part of the time, on account
of not being able to get dyes.
How long the plant will remain
closed is a conjecture. The embargo
on dyes has been lifted by Germany
and in about six weeks the first
shipment will be received at the
United States ports. England and
France have not yet lifted their en-
barge on dyes. &E
There was stock on hand early this
week sufficient to complete 700 doz-
ems of, shirts, which when completed
will wind UP the run at theDyersville
factory. 1t is stated that the factory
may. remain closed until Spring, how
ever the management hopes the work
can be resumed early in the winter
or by the first of the year atNeast.
