is interesting. 1t is one view of the
inside of a prominent family, in
which it is charged existed the ia
vorite triangle of the playright-two
men and woman. And, as in all the
spicy problem plays there was the
conventional married couple and the
intruder-the other fellow.
Robert r. Mccormick is one of
Chicago's bright social lights. Ed
ward S. Adams is his cousin, twenty
years older than Mccormick, but he
says he provided home for McCor-
mick when the latter came from col
lege. Mrs. Adams is very beautiful
woman. She is very much younger
than Adams, from whom she was d.
vorced several months ago, on ac-
count of Mccormick, so Adams has
sworn.
And the echo of the mad, tangled
affair was heard yesterday in Judge
Landis' court.
In the morning Cyrus Adams, ST.,
brother of the defendant, testified
that he had talked with Mccormick
regarding the notes for $43, 900 be-
fore the alienation suit was started.
81 told Mccormick that the notes
held by him against my brother
would not nearly pay the expenses of
his visits to my brothers home,
which covered a period of ten years,
and that the only gentlemanly thing
he could do was to destroy these
notes. 1 left assured that he would
do that" said Adams. up to this

take the stand and he. corroborated

Knud Wefald of Clay County "bust-
ed into poetry" last week while in
Minneapolis, in which he expresses
his heimweh for the sun and the sod
and free out doors. If Knud can do
all this with only Clay County as an
inspiration we tremble with eager
ness to know what Redwood County
would have driven him to. The last
stanza of the very good bit of verse
goes thus:
"You have the wealth of a Babylon.
The culture of Athens, the COM
merce of Rome
With pride | notice how you grow on.
But one short day makes me long
for home
You are great and wealthy and good
and fair
But we have sunshine and we have
air"

they are ready to put forth their best
efforts to bring about such union
of forces as will help the people to
secure their rights and effectively rec
ord their desires through the medium
of the primary law.
"a conference of men thus minded,
representing every part of the state.
bringing to the attention Of the
voters the name of one man as the
most likely to carry out the wishes
of the people and give the state an
efficient administration, will have
weight.
Such a movement is a union OF
the forces that stand for clean poll
tics and against boss rule. Has that
element of the electorate not just as
much right to come together in free
and open conference to plan it's action
as have the ''bosses" and the "ma-
chine" crowd to sit in constant ses-
sion?
"The conference will help, aid and
assist the primary law-it is fathered
and furthered by the friends of prim-
airy legislation"

GUBERNATORIAL CONFERENCE,

~ UNNAR B. Bjornson of Mime.
ota, who understands the
workings Of the gubernator-
lal conference perhaps better-or at
least as well-as any one now at work
on it, wrote most able editorial on
the plans decided upon at its last
meeting and the aims and ambitions
Of the March conventions.
While it is still a doubtful ques-
ton with the uniformed laity wheth-
er the ends Of this organization are
altogether Unstable and devoutly to
be wished or whether at were bet
ter to bear the ills we have, that fly
altogether meet that the public look
long and hard at both sides of the
question, trying, if possible to get
some ray Of light that will help to
bring order out of the present politi-
cal chaos. There are admirable things
and utterly unworthy things on both
sides; to strike the happy medium in
making decision is the duty of every
voter before the primaries next June.
Giving the sum and substance of
the matter at the close of his editor
ial, Mr.. Bjornson says:
Instead of a convention to over
throw the primary law, as the enemies
of the movement and the "machine's''
chore-boys speak of it, the big meet
ing to be held in March is merely a
monster conference for the purpose of
helping the people to secure, through
the primary law, that which the prim-
airy law was designed to give them
control of the nominations for all Of
fices-but which it can not give un-
der the present peculiar conditions.
The conference is not gotten up in
the interests of any one man-it is
to be no one candidates conference,
in the sense of its coming together
for the purpose of espousing the
cause of any selected candidate.
"There are but two things that the
conference will take for granted when
it convenes and they are that all the
delegates are "anti-machine' and that

turn wide and loose the torrent that

Shadows of memory-ftting across

Memories are but fairies older

Memories that bless and bring a

Memories that bless and bring a

NEW IN SPORTING CRAVATS
Flannel Stock Is the Latest Thing
and Looks Very Smart and
Business-Like.

Among the new sporting cravats is
shown a flannel stock, which seems to
meet many requirements, and looks
very smart, and business-like at the
same time. The model l saw was of
pale lemon-colored flannel, but of the
finest and thickest kind, looking, in
deed, almost like a face cloth; the
edges were simply stitched, and it was
tied once across and fastened, to keep
1t in place, with two little buckles
and straps underneath. The upper
length of flannel was then held down
by plain gold safetypin. and the dis
tinctive note was that both the long
and short end in front were cut up in
kind of fringe, almost like the ton
que of a sporting shoe. The soft
black silk or satin stock for sporting
wear is being brought very much to
the fore. Whatever happens to US un-
der other conditions, it seems that as

SOME TIPS For TIE HOSTESS
Suggestions That May Prove Helpful
In Entertain'sq Guests at a
Perry.

A Pilgrim rug party is the very
latest fad--shadcs of our grandmoth-
ers! Do you suppose under the dis
guise they would recognize The old
rag carpets, which adorned every
room? Time has certainly turned
backward in its firht, and the older
the fashion the newer, more up-to-
date it seems to be.
The "hit-and-misa" style of rug may
somewhat resemble the old rag car
pet, but the eXquisitely woven ones
of blue and white, green and white
and green and pink are such artistic
things that their relationship to the
plebeian rag carpet is remote, save ir
the method OF preparing the ma
terials.
Only cotton fabrics are used, and as
in the olden day, a pound and a half
ball weaves into a rug of a square
yard in size.
Well, now for the party. Such an
affair was given recently for bride
elect, and the cards said "thimbles,"
so the girls were prepared to sew.
They found piles of dark denim strips
cut about an inch wide. These were
sewed together and wound into hard
ball
Then there was a pile of white
strips. When these were finished there
was material enough for q complete
rug. BY the time refreshments were
served the strips were sewed. The
cost Of weaving is very small.

Meat Consumption Per Capita Less
In America Than In Australia
ard Argentina.

The only countries reported as
having a greater per capita con.
sumption of dressed meat than the
United States are the Australian
Commonwealth and Argentina
These, it is well known, are coun.
tries of sparse population and vast
herds and flocks; hence meat is eX-
ceedingly cheap and the native
consumption large and probably
wasteful.
The per capita consumption of
meat for Australia and Argentina is
estimated to be in the reighbOrhood
of $50 pounds per annum; it may
possibly be even greater. The cor
responding consumption for the
United States was computed by the
United States Bureau of Animal In
dustry to be 172 pounds in 1909
and it is estimated to be about 10
pounds less at the present time.
This is much greater than the Brit,
ish consumption. the largest in
Europe, which is slightly under 12C
POUNDS per inhabitant per annum
