TAFFETAS FOR SPRING WEAR ARE
DAINTY AND DURABLE FABRICS

DURABLE FABRICS
THE vogue Of taffetas for hats,
coats, jackets, wraps and dresses
threatens to dominate the fashion
world.
The old time material of the name
cracked and broke at most unexpected
places until careful buyers refused to
have taffeta frock at any price.
Manufacturers Of this undeniably at
tractive silk, realizing the adaptable
ity of taffetas, decided to try to over
come the weaknesses Of the weaves.
This they have accomplished. Tai
fetas of the present bear every rela-
ton to those Of the past as far as col
or, tone combination and design are
concerned, but are superior in the fact
Of their durability.
Pastel and sweet pea colorings domi-
nate the most modish of taffeta frocks,
but of late and in fact very recently
figured and checked taffetas are being
used for the making of frocks for early
spring wear.
The blocked or checked taffetas, thin
ly lined with hairlines In single col
or, so family introduced as to become
supplementary to the colored back
ground and in pattern fully an inch
square or less, are really most chic.
Gowns Of these newly designed ma
terials will provide the most essential
element of smartness to the taffeta
frock vogues, but will probably not be
worn until May or June permits the
donning of silken street frocks.
1t will be quite the mode to affect
the wearing of Separate coat or jack
ct, made Of black or brilliantly colored
elk, poplin or MORE with these frocks.
These little affairs should be made
in coatee or spencer jacket fashion,
quite unbelted and trimmed with ruff
fles, cordings or plating of their own
materials.
In every instance where brocaded ef.
fects are chosen care must be observ-
ed not to purchase two toned materials
for the making of these coates unless
they are to be worn with frocks of
single color, imprinted, embroidered or
woven with designs.
In other words, plain colored, self
toned brocaded weaves for wear with
frocks of diversified design and com
plement of color effects or very gor.
geously designed coates to be worn
with frocks Of plain or one color effect
are considered fashionable.
Combinations of materials and colors
provide striking fashion motif for
this seasons STYLES.

YOUR CHANCES.

We all have to learn in one way
or another that neither men nor
boys get second chances in this
world. We all get new chances till
: the end Of our lives, but not second
chances in the same set Of cir
cumstances, and the great-the very
great-diference between one per-
son and another is how he takes
hold Of and uses his first chance and
how he takes his fall if it is scored
against him. Thomas Hughes.

METHODIST

We were thankful for the good
attendance at the Thanksgiving
service by our people.
We were called out to Missler
on Sunday afternoon for the SER
vice there and the house was full
of people to greet US and to show
their interest in the establishing
of a Sunday School. This place
has had a Sunday School until
recently and they are trying to
get reorganized. We want to aid
any community in such a noble
work and we will give all the
time necessary to help a people
IN such a work. There will be
preaching on Sunday December
3. We hope to haye the house
filled on this occasion.
Our prayer meeting was dis
missed this week on account OF
the special meetings at the Pres
byterian church.
We want to remind our people
that it is only one month until we
begin our special meetings we
hope that our people who live a
distance will try and attend these
meetings. We are hoping for
great results in these meetings
and if we accomplish great things
every member must do their
part. We are sure from past ex-
perience that you will do this.
This church extends an 1nvi-
tation to the public to attend our
services.

FOR QUIET IN CITY STREETS
Anti-Nolse Ordinances Passed in New
York Hailed as Step in the
Right Direction.

The new anti-noise ordinance pro-
Ndes prompt punishment for any
person plying a trade III the streets
who shall make or permit to be made
any noise tending to disturb the
peace and quiet of the neighborhood
for the purpose of directing attcn-
ton 10 his wares or trade or calling.
This is an improvement upon the
old ordinance and will put a stop to
some of the needless noises that have
been an abomination to the COM
munity There are, however, many
other noises that are just as needless
and just DIS annoying that do not
come under the penalties of the law
because they are not made by persons
plying trade and are not intended
to attract attention to wares or to
calIings. They are many in number
and various III nature, running all
the way from the unnecessary noises
of automobiles to the pounding Of
Hat car wheels and the deafening rat
tie Of elevated trains. The new or
dinance, therefore, is but a step in
the right direction, but even a step
is to be welcomed.-New York

The plan is to purchase a dynamo

operating expenses for the year with
about $4,000, which is lower than the
estimated cost of lighting furnished

Germ for one year alone
committee, composed of Mayor

that this committee will be authorized

OHIO COMMISSION WILL

Cleveland, Ohio, Feb. 20.-Tax Com
missioners Fackler and Agnew have
found a provision in the 1914 tax laws
under which they hold they have the
power to tax John D. Rockefeller's
$9OOOOO,OOO personal property for
each year since 1911 and make him
pay taxes on the entire amount, plus
a so per cent. penalty for failure to
make return each year. The taxes
are estimated at nearly $12,OO0,OOO a
year, or about $35,OOO,OOO for the
three years. With the penalty the to-
tai would reach $52,25OOOO.
The commissioners shut themselves
in their offices today with an adding
machine and set about listing Mr.
Rockefeller's personal property.
I'VE are tabulating such informa-

property as we have collected so that

During the last ten years our acre
yield increased but not half as much
as the increase in population. We
have all heard the old Dutch
proverb quoted before, but we
cannot quote it too often: mo grass,
no stock; no stock, no manure; no
manure, no crops" Holland is almost
entirely a grass and stock country,
and lands are worth on an average
$500 per acre. These people have
found that they can make more out
of land from grass and live stock than
they can by cultivating it.
Unnumbered acres of hill land in
the cotton belt are making less than
one-third bale of cotton per acre, and
at the same time making poverty for
mercial fertilizer applied annually is
appalling The razor-back terraces,
covered with weeds, grass and briars,
and the circles and short rows pre-
vent the use of labor-saving imple-
ments.
We are sending millions to the
northern states every year to pay for
pork products, dairy products and
beef This money should be kept at
home and deposited in our banks I'M
til they are full to overlooking and the
rate of interest lowered to, say, six
per cent, because of the abundance
of money. Then we will have the
necessary money to build good roads,
to pay good teachers better salaries
to teach longer terms, to improve our
farms and to build comfortable homes
and put telephones and Libraries in
them. Then our boys and girls will
stay on the farm, and we will behold
prosperity in every department of the
commercial world
The south has an Overwhelming adj
vantage over every other section in
live stock raising We have great
climatic advantages that permit out
