PARIS IS STILL
FASHION ARBITER
Set Pace in Milady's Dress De-
spite 'Ravages of War;
Skirts Fuller
Special to The Telegraph

Paris, France, Nov. 16.-Paris re-
mains the supreme arbiter of fashion,
despite the absence of many of the
creators of women's dress, who are
either fighting at the front or making
uniforms for the soldiers.
Their places are filled valiantly by
women, or by the men on furlough or
those exempt from military duty.
Even the last few days of typical Paris
autumn weather, with it's mists and
rains, have failed to dampen the
modes. Their outlook is most
sanguine, both for the midwinter fash
ions, which are composed of models
made for the southern resorts, as we'll
as for those which are to be shown in
January, designed for the coming
Spring and summer.
Such news is naturally of great in
terest to American merchants and to
the American women who will event.
ually wear these coming styles.
Increase In Business
The Maision Beer, in the Place
Vendome. and other leading dress
making establishments, give credence
of a marked increase in business dur
ing the autumn over that of last year.
The director of that house says some
interesting things about present
IaSnlOnS.
"Voluminous styles will undoubtedly
continue" he declared. Not only are
they universally liked by the French
women, but they are also practical.
Styles previous to the war had reached
such a state, with clinging skirts made
of transparent materials, that trans
formation was bound to come.
Skirts to BE Short
''As to styles for the coming Spring,
skirts will remain short, but will be
of tremendous width. Many of them
will be almost nine yards around the
bottom. Contrary to what one would
imagine in accordance with such STYLES
materials are not only more difficult
to obtain, but are far more expensive.
Our clients are demanding cheaper
prices, so dress creators are left with
difficult question to solve. The
Maison Beer expects a marked inn
provement in business in the coming
Spring season over that of last
autumn as far as American buyers
are concerned. Facilities for crossing
the Atlantic have been improved and
there is not the same danger to be
feared from German submarines
If the midwinter season for millin-
ers and dressmakers is any hint Of
what may be expected in the Spring
season, which will open in January,
the prospects are good for a tremend-
Gus amount of business, especialIv
among foreign buyers

Washington, Nov. 16.-One man

While the track had not been used
since 1908, having been turned into u
winter home for race horses and
training ground for horses the stables
were filled with horses racing in near

was that of August Belmont, although
none of his horses were on the ground
at the time. They were to have ar

A hundred or more valuable horses
were turned loose to seek safety.
For years the track was the meeting

GRANT COUNTY HISTORY
Fragmentary Tales of Early DoingS in This Good
Baiwick, Gathered from the Most Authentic Sources

rive. This latter entered his farm
as early as 1886, which was very
early indeed. These two pioneers
must have seen privations, for there
was little CT Immediate promise in
those early days in the woods. All
the markets they had were either
in Cassville, or Prairie du Chen,
and both were rather remote for
the hardy pioneer. No good roads
those days.
A pioneer merchant, known to
fame as Ed. Palmer, put in the first
stock OF goods, but it is said this
was a small stock. The next year,
1858, several houses were added, and
stores that brought with them large
and varied stocks came to the then
prosperous town. After this start,
the place moved on rapidly, until
it showed that there was room, in
the economy of Grant county, for a
fine VILLAGE at that point.
All was going finely, until 1874,
when a general confagration burned
out mighty near the whole town.
This was discouraging, and worse,
but the good people there were of the
determined sort, and they took hold
with a will. The result of that de-
termined effort to reconstruct was so
apparent, that the people there
began to look upon the fire as a good
thing.
There is not in Grant county more
prosperous village than Glen Haven.
1t is composed of the most sub
stantial citizens one can find in Wis
consin, and there is visible on every
hand evidences of unusual prosperity.
And a most, wholesome spirit of the
demands of public morals on a COM
munity are seen in Glen Haven.
No community in Grant county has
a more wholesome atmosphere in it
than has Glen Haven.

HANDLING CREAM
FOR BEST RESULTS

Some people have the mistaken idea
that sour cream tests higher than sweet
cream, says the Kansas Farmer. Those
of this belief might be tempted to hold
cream until it became unduly sour in
order to get more money from the
creamery. In the long run the result
would be quite the opposite. Only the
cow can put butter fat into cream, and
the sour cream accurately tested will
contain no more butter fat than will
sweet cream. 1t is to the interest of
every cream producer to get the prod
uct to the buttermaker in the best con-
dition possible. If all did this better
butter could be made and as result
better prices paid for cream.
Many on the farms are still following
the practice of making butter and sell
ing it. Good butter can be made on
the farm, but it is the exception to the
general rule. 1t means lot Of hard,
slavish work for the women and unless
the farm is really equipped so that but
ter can be made that will compete with
creamery butter, there is no profit in
following this method.
AS the summer season comes on the
difficulties of making good butter un-

of times and there did not seem to be
any loose sediment of any kind coming
out of the radiator. ! have heard that
washing soda dissolved in boiling wa
ter will clean it; also boiler compound.
Can you advise me regarding this?
Common washing soda dissolved in
boiling water is an excellent remover
of the scale that forms in the radiator.
The radiator should be thoroughly
flushed out with a solution consisting
of about two heaping handfuls of soda
to an ordinary pail of boiling water.
The soda solution should be allowed
to remain In the radiator for a shOr;
time. and it should then be flushed out
with clear warm water.
1t is inadvisabIe to use boiler com.
pounds in automobile radiators unless
the constituents of the compounds are
we'll known. Some of the boiler com
pounds contain ingredients which cor
rode any metal surface with which
they come in contact. The result is
that, instead of merely removing the
scale, the metal itself is decomposed.
and in a short time the radiator be-
comes leaky.

der average farm conditions will in
crease. Those who have been churn-
ing during the winter are apt to con-
tinue into the summer season from
mere force of habit. The handling and
selling of cream is simplicity itself in
comparison with the making Of butter.
The average housewife on the farm
has all the work she can possibly at
tend to during the busy season OF the
year without continuing this extra bur-
den. Selling cream will not only bring
in more money for. the butter fat pro-
duced. but it will greatly tighten the
labor of the housewife. This is good
time to begin to handle cream in an
up to date manner.

Is it economical to use oversize tires?
Many tire makers advocate the use
Of oversize tires for the following rea-
sons:
Take, for instance. a So by tire
which fits on a 81 by 315 rim. In adj
dition to having considerably more air
capacity or cubical contents. there is
naturally a little more tread. and the
oversize tire is. generally speaking, of
a heavier construction The greater
air capacity naturally makes more of
a cushion. thus making the tire easier
riding for the occupants. and. due to
she advantages mentioned. caused by
the fact that the tire is Oh heavier
construction and has a greater air ca
pacity. it will throw off strains which
q tire of similar diameter and circum-
ference would not throw off.
In addition TO the above. the cir
conference of the oversize tire in this
instance is slightly over three inches
more than the 30 by 31a, which we
are using for illustration. This addi-
tional running surface means. of
course, that the tire will revolve fewer
times in making mile than the 81 by
S15, which. everything being equal
should insure greater mileage than the
smaller size tire.

Glen Haven was not even town
ship, until the year 1859. Before
that date it was part of the town of
Cassville. Originally Cassville was
large in area, and especially so az
it lay among the hills and took one a
long time to traverse its surface.
It not only had a big surface, but
that surface was so rough that it
seemed particularly wide and long.
But during the year 1859 Cass-
vile took a pairing down, and the
good town of Glen Haven was the
pairing that was cut off. A good sort
of a peeling, it was. There had
been a start for a village. on the
river bank, and this had been called
Rays Landing" probably after
Richard Ray, a pioneer in that neigh
borhood. How the town, and after
ward the village, got their name
does not appear, but in all probability
the name was suggested by some
physical characteristic of the country
about the steamboat landing. Pro-
badly somebody thought the landing
was a haven, or that some nearby
valley was glen. Possibly both are
true.
A company of six men laid out the
plat for the village, as early as 1857,
two years before the town of Glen
Haven was separated from Cassville.
A steam saw mill was built there
the same year, and this proved to be
the nucleus for the village. Around
this industry the town naturally was
built. Before the saw mill the
houses were of logs; after steam was
up in the mill the stuff for frame
buildings began to appear.
1t is claimed that A. d. Ramsey
was the first pioneer in the town, but
whether in township or village does
not appear. And it is claimed that
