The perfect thirty-sixes are not all
women. We also have men models.
This fact was brought out when
a New York woman suing for a sep
aration said her husband was fash
ion plate. "He changed his clothes
at least fifty times day." was her
parting remark. And the husband
admitted the impeachment. He said
he was a man clothes model. 1t has
long since been found that real
clothes shown on real people are the
best advertisements for said clothes
that can be found. Designers OF
women's costumes knew it all the
time, but it is comparatively a new
field for men. There are only six
of these Adonises in the business,
and they command good pay. They

DAY OF DOLL" WOMAN GONE
"eh NOW Are Showing Preference for
Mental Qualifications in
Their Wives.

Ihere used to be time when
men preferred the doll" type of
woman as wife, to any other va
rlety. Fortunately that period has
passed, or, rather, there are so few
men with these preferences today
that they need not be considered
here. Of course there will always
be husbands who prefer to have all
the brains in the matrimonial part
nership, who look upon their wives
as playthings to be excluded from
all their real interests and the real
issues of life; as clotheshorses to be
dressed up and shown off as an
advertisement of the owners pros
perlty. Few men nowadays want,
and fewer women nowadays con-
sent, to be this sort of a wife. Mu-
tual attraction plays as big a part
as physical attraction in the selec-
ton of mate. How else can he
develop his future if at the head of
the domestic helm there stands a
woman who cannot meet him on
equal mental grounds, who cannot
understand and appreciate the
ideas he expounds? The average
wife of today must have mentality
If she is to hold her husband, and
the average man, realizing this,
perhaps better than the woman,
looks for fair amount of mental
lty in the girl he selects to be his
wife.

CONDITIONS THAT PROBABLY
ACCOUNT FOR FARMERS
HOLDING WHEAT FROM
MARKET

The question has been asked, "Why
are 50 many Of the farmers holding
their wheat either in the stack, or in
the granary where threshing has been
done? One of the principal, and in
fact the chief reason, is that our To-
cal buyers are not offering enough
for wheat, the price now offered be-
ing S100 per bushel, while rs miles
south Of us the farmers are getting
from $1.05 to $1.1O a bushel for their
wheat, although the local dealers
there are from rs to 100 miles far
ther from the st. Louis markets.
Other and minor reasons that, per-
haps, are responsible, in a measure,
for this slowness in the movement Of
our wheat crops, or a great amount Of
rainfall which has retarded progress
in threshing, and in some places made
the roads very unfavorable for the
movement thereof. Further, the
splendid prospects for an early and
decided advance in price, which is as
certain to come as night follows day,
it being a generally known fact that
very little wheat was raised in Eu-
rope this year, they having directed
most of their energies, during the
last eleven months, raising tares.
Yesterdays quotation in St. Louis
was $120 per bushel.
Wheat grown in this particular
section is generally conceded to be of
superior quality and, therefore, al
ways commands highest prices.

THE LUSITANIA

The sinking of the Lusitania by the
Germans is regarded by many as an
act of murder and heartless cruelty.
The State Department of our govern
ment has made that act an occasion
for diplomatic correspondence that
has had the right-of-way for months.
1t may yet result in disrupting the
friendship between the German and
American people.
The point Of contention is over the
death of 100 American citizens.
The question is this: "Shall the
American citizen be exposed to the
repetition Of such treatment"
Shall we be concerned about the
lives of a few at sea and so uncon-
cerned about the hundreds that are
worse than summarized all about us
by those who are dealing in the dew
il's liquor?
Give your answer next Saturday
by voting Against the Sale of In
toxicating Liquors"

RECORD THAT SPELLS EFF,
FICIENCY.

st. Joseph Observer-The receipts
for the exercise Of the ordinary func-
tions Of the Secretary Of State for
Roach's full term (l9O9 12) were $18O-
400 more than during his predecessors
term (19O5 81. These increasedreceipts
were obtained at diminished contin-
gent expense of S4,O1s. Considering
finances only, adding $130,4O0 to the
State revenues at a cost Of $4,0lS is
evidence of good business manage,
ment.
Contrasting the biennial period of
Roach's administration with that of
his predecessor next prior, the record
discloses receipts of $4,000 more
during 1909 10 than during 1907 8 at
diminished contingent expense of
$24O, and a diminished total expense of
S585. In other words as business
officer Roach was worth S15s,000 more
per biennial period than his predeces-
sor, when only the receipts of the ordt
nary functions of the Secretary of
State are considered.
When all functions of the office are
contrasted, the record shows that
Roach made the office yield during his
term (19O8 12) $21S,6O2 more than his
predecessor produced during the term
1905 and that the increase was OBJ
tanned at a reduced total expenditure
of S77,277.
Roachs total receipts during his
last two years were $832,037, while
the total receipts of his predecessors
full term of four years were 1926, ,788;
and this result Roach obtained with a
total expenditure of $60,S73 less than
his predecessors cost of administra-
tion. AS demonstration Of capable
business management, the figures elo-
quently speak for themselves even if
finances only are considered.
