In one of the current magazines I read recently an anecdote of a newly appointed judge who owed his prefer ment to political influence rather than judicial training. The counsel for the plaintiff had made masterly re- sume of his case.
 ''I find for the plaintiff" said the judge, vastly impressed by the harangue he had listened to.
 The attorney for the defendant was on his feet in an instant. Don't l get opportunity to present my case 2" he demanded.
 "Well-you can if you want to-" said the judge, grudgingly.
 And The Judge Reserved His Decis-
 sion.
 The attorney for the defendant rose to the emergency. When he finished the judge, with wonder writ ten on his face, calculated:
 Don't it beat all-the defendant wins after all!" '
 It's very funny, of course, But 1t reminded me of another incident in which the propensity of the aver age individual to act as judge on any and every occasion, and rem der verdicts as did the judge on half the evidence or less, is illustrated.
 A woman who. I am sure, con- siders herself fair-minded and lm- partial, came out on the car the other evening during the rush hour Across from her sat a. man, the hus- band of woman with whom she was slightly acquainted. There were many women standing.

Every variation of the over-bodice is
 fashionable this autumn. Here is an ex. tremely attractive blouse that can v made with an over-portion of half length as 1t is here, or with a full length overs portion extended to the shoulders. Tho model is an excellent one for many usea and besides being eminently fashionable and interesting, it is extremely simpld and easy to make. The pattern givca both the seams and the basting line, sd providing for easy cutting and easy seyl ing. The blouse is quite plain witT[ hemmed edges that are buttoned tol gether, and the over-portion,. whether 1t is cut in full or in half length, is arr ranged over it and the two arc gathered together at the waist line. The cuff which suggest the gauntlet idea, make notable feature. In the picture, the ma terial is plaid cloth combined with plain. but there are of course numberless com4 binations that can be made and the bodico, is a good one for the gown and also for wear with the tailored suit or with the odd skirt. iH
 For the medium size the blouse will require 3L yds. of material 27 in. wide, 2 N yds. 36, M yds. A, with I "a yds. 2z in. wide A yd. 36 or A; for the half yd. 36 or A for the full length over bodice.
 The pattern No. s7oo is cut in sizes from 34 to 40 bust. 1t will be mailed to any address by the Fashion Depart Inent of this paper, on receipt of tea cents.

Baxter Must
Wake Up!

In almost every paper publish
ed in neighboring towns appear
articles telling of the efforts OF
the merchants of those towns to
boom business. All sorts OF plans
and schemes are being worked to
attract trade. Some of our COM
petitors have even placed sign
boards within three miles of our
city urging passersby to trade
in those towns.
Something must be done to
couuteract these influences. 1t
may be that some of the practices
of Oklahoma towns cannot be
pulled off here, as the state laws
prohibit drawings.
The is one thing that can be
done. The Majestic Theatre
could be secured for an afternoon
or two a week, say Wednesday
and Saturday, and a free show
given on those days to people
living outside the city limits
Tickets could be issued to the
right parties and crowds be in
duced to come to Baxter. The
merchants should offer special
bargains on those days. This
may entail some labor and ex'
pense, but it sure is worth a trial
Other towns are making a sue
