(The Sunshine MANI

When we remember our temptations
to give quick Indulgence to disap-
pointment or irritation or unsympath-
izing weariness. and how hard a thing
it is from day to day to meet our
follow-men. our neighbors. or even
our own households. in all moods. in
an discordancc between the world
without MS and the frames within, in
all states OF health. or solicitude, of
preoccupation. and show no signs Of
impationce. ungontleness. or unob-
servant seif-ahsorption with only
kindly feeling finding expression, and
ungenial feeling at least inwardly inn
prisoned; we shall be ready to ac-
knowledge that the man who has thus
cttained is master OF himself. and in
the graciousness OF his power is fash
ioned upon the style Of Perfect Man.

Some glances of real beauty may
be seen in their faces. who dwell in

Divine love gives utterance. and some
appearance of right order in their

ChEAPER OYSTERS EXPECTED.

WASHINGTON, Nov oysters
may be bit cheaper this year by rea-
son of the condemnation of some co.
900 acres Of oyster lots in the tide
water counties of Maryland" remark
ed J. A. Hayward. of the Eastern
Shore, at the Raleigh. If the State
accepts the oyster lots condemned by
the courts a big harvest is in sight.
Since the passage of the Shepherd
planting law OF 1914. the ownership OF
these lots has been in dispute and
the oysters have not been disturbed.
They have been permitted to grow
until they have reached very
large quantity. The question will
come before the Maryland Legisla-
ture in a bill appropriating 100000
with which to pay the owners whose
lots we're condemned. The whole af-
fair promises much litigation, but the
consumer eventually will be the win
ner for there will be a big lot Of
luscious oysters released, perhaps, in
the height Of the season. which ought

With curves galore,
And most becoming truly.
NEW YORK. NOV 12.-You can't
put an 1880 bodice on a 1915 figure
with any great success. Herce. since
femininity just must wear these ador-
able little boned ard poiated bodices
it is up to femininity to reco- truct
the female form divine Special cor
sets to make the firm foundation for
this work of reconstruction are now
on the market and the spot.
They differ in three vital points. or
perhaps we should say curves, from
little old last years" stays. They
are two and three inches higher in
the bust. smaller and more curved at
the waist and most amazing of ALL
they are shorter and less boned over
the hip with what is called a free
hip finish.
Doesn't it just take your breath
away 10 think that you are going to
have fashion On your hip again? What
will prolab,y take your breath trifie
more however, is when you pull on
your 1915 corset strings to get the
new curved-in waist effect. Don't let
anybody else string you for it's going
to be a mighty hard yank. Let there
be no waste of energy in the pull, eth
er. or there will be no waist of mod
lsh dimensions i'm the corsets.
Front lace corsets are gaining ever
increaring popularity because of their
greater comfort as well as their good
lines. They are most success. Il with
medi m and heavy figures. For the
truly svelte the back lace effects are
the most ap- wed models. Simplicity
of line and adornment is the keynote
of the new corsets and they are staid
stays indeed.
Frills of lace and ornate trimmings
are lacking, but IN many exquisite
pale tints of silk broche are the cor.
sets evolved in their entirety.
Where once all save white OF
flesh tinted corsets we're frown-
ed upon by the fachionably elect, now

Half Of this is said to have
been made BY buying up crude

II forced to very low figures.
Having accumulated nearly
70,000,00O barrels Of crude, it
now permits the price to ad-

While it sold gasoline in the
neighborhood of 20 cents in the
East, it made the retail price
SO cents all summer long in

FRIGHTENED BY AUTO.

A man employed by j. E. Heritage
east of town got mixed up in runaway
accident the first of the week and re-
cieved broken nose and minor in
juries while his wagon was also broken
up quite badly. He was driving to
town and his team became frightened
at the Holthaus auto, which was some
distance in the rear, and began to run.
The wagon soon overturned into the
fence with the driver underneath, and
when the wreckage was cleared up the
results were found to be as above set
forth. The injured man was taken to
the Holthaus home and DR.. Turner was
summoned to patch up the damaged
features. 1t was fortunate the accident
did not result more seriously than it
did.-Cottonwood Chronicle.

STORM KNOCKS DOWN GRAIN.

A heavy rain storm gathered south
of town Tuesday evening and broke
over the prairie about six O'Clock. In
places the downpour was quite heavy
and out on the point south of Reuter-
vile it assumed almost the proportions
of cloudburst. At this place the rain
developed into steady shower but in
the Denver and Fem sections it fell in
sheets and was accompanied by suffici-
emit wind to drive the storm to some
extent, thereby proving disasterous to
many fields of heavy grain. A fin.
forty acre field Of exceptionally heavy
wheat on the Eckerman farm east of
town was laid flat ON the ground by the
storm and, according to reports, a mum
Der of other fields on the prairie suf-
fered fully as much. 1t is doubtful if
these fields will rise sufficiently to
permit Of harvesting the grain and the
loss will therefore be quite heavy, al
though much of the grain can be CLEAN
