er set the Christmas problem has
been solved. In a recent issue OF the
Woman's Home Companion there are
attractive illustrations and descrip-
tons fer making fashions latest fan
cies from silk cord and sealing wax.
There was a wild rush for sealing
wax and cord this week and already
a number Of the girls have made pref.
~ bead sets for their Christmas re-
membranes. The beaded cord for the
neck, with its pretty ornament, the
beaded comb and earrings to match
are indeed a pretty combination. One
Of the girls made this set and also a
dozen buttons of a harmonizing shade
and design to go with a simple gown.
Nearly forty years ago the sealing
wax fad was introduced in the west.
At that time shawl pins were fashion
able and with an old hat pin or even
a much-used darning needle and a bit
Of bright wax very pretty effects were
accomplished There are great grand
mothers Of today who SIN have some
of these old pins and who keep them
among their cherished keepsakes.

FARMERS TALK ON
CON SOLIDATION

Marshalltown, Feb. 1.-THE latest
development in the movement sweep
ing over the county to consolidate
schools is that this city, or a part OF
it, may take in Linn township, and
some other territory adjacent to at,
and support consolidated school in
this city. For the purpose of DISCUSS
ing this proposal, conference of farm
ers of Linn township and the city
school board was held at the office Of
Miss Gertrude Z. Miller, county super
intendent.
Those from Linn township who at
tended the conference are agreeable
to two plans. Either they will tax
themselves for the tuition and cost Of
hauling their children to the city
schools, or they are willing to be con-
solidated with this city in a consoli-
dated school. Their objection to the
tuition plan is that the city school
board has the right to refuse to admit
tuition pupils whenever there Is not
enough room for both city and tuition
pupils. For that reason the Linn town.
ship men would prefer to be consol-
dated with the city.

RESULTS IN WITH
DRAWAL FROM DEPARTMENT
OF LABOR FEDERATION.

Indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 14.-By ref
erendum vote the United Brotherhood
of Carpenters and Joiners of America
decided to withdraw from the building
trades department of the American
Federation of Labor, it was announced
at the headquarters of the union here
today by William l.. Hutcheson, first
vice president. James Kirby, president
of the union, was not in the city.

would go into effect Immediately but
that it in no way would affect the men,
bership of the carpenters organization
in the American Federation of Labor.
The main reason given for the with
drawal from the department is the
iurisdictional disputes which arose be-
tween the carpenters and the sheet
metal workers union. The carpenters
also contended they were not given
in the department in
to their strength. 1t is
contended that their membership Of
about 100000 is the largest of any Or
ganization in that body.
