MONSTER HEADS OF OATS.

Elmer Hake, one of the progressive
farmers on the north bench, was in
the city Saturday and had with him
three specimens of oat heads that
were raised on his farm the past sea-
son. The oats were of the Silver
Mine variety and exceeded anything
in weight and size that has ever been
seen here. The heads were fully
foot in length. and weighed almost an
ounce each. There were great many
triple kernels in the heads and on
one Mr.. Hake counted every kernel
and found there were 314. These
splendid specimens wih4be sent away
to be put on display at the Amer
lean Society of Equity meeting in st.
Paul next week.

PINCHED FOR PILFERING

Steve MCGOWAN will spend the next
sixty days in Jail for helping himself
to property which did not belong to
him. Wednesday night a suitcase be-
longing to Emil Mytron, an employe
in Grossman's garage, was stolen
from the Savoy Hotel. MCGOWAN
was sought as the guilty party and
further evidence was obtained against
him when it was found that he had
left the suitcase in a saloon and had
later called for it. About ten o'clock
Thursday morning, Marshals Bayn-
ham and Jerrow arrested MCGOWAN
and he was tried at 2:30 in the after
noon before Judge Evans who, after
hearing the evidence, ordered him con-
fined to his room in the Hotel De
Powell for the next sixty days.

GIRL ACCIDENTALLY SHOT.

Little Josie Sowa, the eight-year-
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Peter
Sowa of Vandalia, had narrow es-
cape from death Thanksgiving day.
One of the small Sowa boys had
found a 90 calibre rifle and brought
it into the house leaving it standing
in a corner. One of his younger
brothers began playing with the
weapon and pointed it at his sister,
accidentally discharging it. The bull
let struck the little girl directly over
the heart, but. fortunately its course
was DETECTED by striking rib. Mrs.
Sowa had stepped out to the well for
a pail of water when the accident oc-
Cured, and when she heard the shot
she ran into the house and saw what
had happened. DR.. Cockrell was
called from Hinsdale and from latest
reports the little girl is getting along
nicely.

BIG INCREASE in
SCHOOL CENSUS
Rapid Growth of Country Re.
Elected in Figures.
NEW DISTRICTS CREATED
Over Four Hundred More New Pupils
Enrolled This Year Than Last
Country Districts Increase.

The remarkable growth of Valley
county during the past year is plain
" evident from the figures Of the
school census. recently completed by
the county superintendent office.
Although more than one-third of the
county was cut off when Phillips
county was formed last February, the
figures for this year show big in
crease.
The large number of new settlers
who have come into the county the
past year to take up land may be
realized from the fact that when the
school term opened this fall, there
were more than 400 pupils enrolled
than last year, in the same districts.
Hundreds of families from other
states have moved into the county
since last fall and the formation of
several new school districts was
found necessary when the fall term
began, due to the big increase in the
number Of pupils.
Last year, with the districts now
in Phillips county included in the Gen.
sus, there were 1852 pupils enrolled
as students in the Valley county
schools. With 1911 of that number
cut off when the county of Phillips
was created, the census for this veal
shows that there are 2183 schoo
children in the county. This is an in
crease of 4O2 pupils in the districts
that were left in this county. Th'
number of pupils by districts are a
follows:

PRICE FIXING

A bill is now before Congress to legalize price-fixing. It ought to pass. The government cOmpels railways to maintain one price for all Why pre- vent the manufacturer from doing the same thing? It is not one price, it is cutting the price that is the serious charge against the great trusts. By cut prices they slaughter the small dealers.
 The public has an erroneous idea that price agreement is a conspiracy against the consumer Exactly the contrary is true Price chaos even- tually injures the consumer, and mean while it puts the honest manufacturer out of business and encourages the cheat. Rebates, cuts, reductions be- long to the past. They are business anarchy. The business of the United States ought to be on a sound basis. There is none other such than one price to all.-Dr. Frank Crane in Chicago Daily News.

frocks seen for many a season, was developed in maize colored crepe Georgette with double skirt, simple V-neck bodice, short sleeves and a wide sash of taffeta with hand colored ends, repeating in the large conven- tionalized rose design, the color of the frock combined with soft pink, and just a touch here and there of African brown by way of contrast. This frock was designed for a pretty New York girl to wear at an evening party. It was perfectly suited to the occasion and was suited also to din ners and the other social demands of the young girl who has not yet made her debut. The girl who prefers the top coat with one-piece frocks for afternoons and more dressy occasions, will find simple frock of dark blue taffeta smart and convenient.

healthy, athletic school girl of today.
 To wear with these sweaters and top coats there are round hats in woolen mixtures, with a short quill or stick-up by way of trimming, which defy snow, rain and all kinds of weather most satisfyingly.
 Demand for the One-Piece Frock
 It stands to reason that if the suit skirt is worn in the classroom, it will soon become shiny and shabby while the coat remains perfectly good; here is wheer the one-piece dress of serge or gabardine is most practical aside from it's becomingness and convent ence. There is nothing more suitable or comfortable than one of these sim pie frOcks in some dark shade, with one of the new sashes or belts in a contrasting fabric, and callar and cuffs or perhaps a guimpe or chemisette of organdy, voile or crepe de Chine The washable guimpe, which may be re- moved and laundered, appeals to many because of the possibilities it offers of freshening up the dress with a va riety of guimpes.

velvet tams, hats of velour or softly colored felt. As the days are still bright and warm, one often sees trim serge frock with bretelles, worn with a blouse of contrasting crepe de Chine, or one of the brightly striped or dotted voiles. Our exclusive schools frown upon an elaborate wardrobe, no motter haw prosperous papa may be; many of them give out list of the clothing required, with one thing up permost-simplicity This does not necessarily mean that the clothing must be ugly The smart little suits and dresses of serve, tweed, or the attractive checks and novelty fabrics with contrasting collars and cuffs, are smart and becoming to degree. One particularly smart little dress, worn the other morning, was of dark blue gabarine, that practical sister of the serge, which wears so well and sheds dust and dirt so effectively. It had bretelles and a wide stitched belt Of the material of the skirt and was worn with an underblouse of herringbone striped crepe de Chine, cuffed with the material of the skirt and collared with sheer, crisp organdy. The wearer, who was a smart New York day school girl, carried her bundle of books nonchalantly over one shoulder and wore her velvet tam on the back of her bright hair so carelessly that more than turned for a second look.
 The Second Suit
 On matinee days and Sundays the suit is a trifle more dressy, of French serge, gabardine, broadcloth, or one of the new satin finished materials, and is trimmed with Q line or uwU of braid or band of fun. An attrac- tive hat of velvet, or satin and velvet with the soft, dropping brim, now so modish, and just suggestion of trim ming, is most becoming to young girls The soft, graceful tilt to the brim this season is particularly pretty and youth ful. An attractive little Miss from the southland, whose eyes are as dark as the oft quoted Spanish maiden's wore a suit of midnight blue velOurs de laine with high military collar of black silk braid, inset, between the rows of braid, with scarlet. and gold; the scarlet and gold was repeated in the carved buettons which closed the coat, Russian fashion on the left shoulder, in the braided girdle, and again heading the hem of the short, full skirt. With this~suit which was worn one afternoon at a concert, she wore a very simple blouse or baby flesh pink Georgette crepe The ocs- tune was simplicity itself, but chic, well thought out simplicity.
