AUTUMN BRINGS NOVEL AND
CHARMING FABRICS FOR FAIL.

ONE-P1EcE gowns for

never more varied. Ma

unique than they have been
for many a season. con-

Tor novelty, and novelty at
any cost!
A smart and decidedly
odd little gown for after
noon occasions comes from
New York, made I'D by one
OF our most successful Inn
porters. The fabric is the
new striped goods Just de-
scribed, In a wonderful new
shade OF deepest midnight
plue. IL Is adorably simple,
relying on the richness of
the material itself and soft
oands of Russian squirrel
TO give the right effect. The
plain crepe is evident on
the long sleeves and on
the wide fiounce which is
shown at the bottom of the
skirt. The velvet stripes
are combined in such a
way as to give the effect of
a solid piece of velvet at
the sides of the skirt on
the hips. This is confined
by means of a plain band
or the velvet, drawn tightly
in to accentuate the new
fitted tendency. Buttons of
the velvet trim the front of
the blouse. and the cuffs
are edged with the same.
A tunic effect is supplied
by means of the narrow
band of velvet which serves
as a hem at the bottom OF
the skirt, as this tunlc line
is going to be very much In
vogue this winter. Many of
the newest French dresses
show very-much- -draped-up
skirts, with panniers, pol
onaise and crinoline effects,
In extravagantly rich ma
terials, such as brocades
and satins. Colorings are

THANKSGIVING, 1915.

For the yield of each bountiful acre.
for the seasons abundance in store, we
thank Thee, Beneficent Maker, as our
Puritan sires did of yore. In year
when Wars sad desolation has engulf-
ed half mankind in its throes, Thou
hast graciously shielded our nation
from the whitening breath of its woes.
Thy judgments are righteous and
holy, Thy counsels benignant and just;
Thou exaltest the humble and lowly,
and Thou smitest the proud in the dust
With out thanks for Thy blessings
unnumbered, hear, o Lord, in Thy
mercy our plea for the lands that with
dead men are numbered; for the brave
hearts that perish at esa; for the toll
ers of Europe, our brothers, who by
kings are melted to kill; for their
babies, their wives, and their mothers;
may Thy solace abide with them still!
Accept, Lord, our humble thanksgiv-
ing, and when Wars last vile bullet is
speed, do Thou tighten the load of the
living who are waiting to meet their
loved dead Looking down upon bat
CORY, let Thy peace be upon
them again, and Thine own be the hon
or and glory, forever and ever Amen.

That means in order to reduce this
transportation charge you must have
better roads and you must have the

What that vehicle is will depend up
ON great many considerations: Your
distance from the railroad station, the
character of your crop and the char

CATS AND DISEASE.

New York is getting after its cats.
New York city is especially exercised
about them just now because of fatal
case of anthrax supposed to be trace
able to a cat A girl bought cheap
set of furs, and died a few days later
from this dreadful disease She caught
it apparently, from the contact of the
fur collar with her bare chest. The
theory is that the cat from which the
fur was taken was afflicted with an
thrax-as stray cats sometimes are
and that the imperfect treatment in
volved in the manufacture of cheap
furs failed to kill the germ.
Another case adduced is that a
Brooklyn girl who reached down to
pet cat on her way to school, and re-
ceived slight scratch which resulted
in her death from rabies.
The National Association of Audubon
Societies is very active in a campaign
against cats. 1t argues that not only
is the feline tribe responsible for trans
hitting a great deal of tuberculosis,
rabies, tetanus, paralysis, scarlet fever,
diphtheria, smallpox, measles, whoop-
ing cough, mumps, ringworm, etc, but
it devastates the bird population and
thus indirectly does vast damage to
agriculture. There are 5000 900 song
birds destroyed by cats in New York
state every year, and 100000 in Mas
sachusetts, says the Audubon Society
and the number killed in the entire
country amounts to many scores Of
millions.
1t is the stray cat of precarious liy-
ing and uncertain habits that is re.
sponsible for most of the disease-bear.
ing and bird-slaughter Montclair, N
j., recently took cognizance of this
fact by providing an ordinance re
curing all cats to carry tags with thei
owners names, and providing tina

EDUCATING THE ALIENS.

Throughout the country the plan of
S. Department of Labor to enlist the
cooperation of public schools in the
education and Americanization of can
Gidates for citizenship is receiving the
most gratifying support Approximate
ly 400 cities and towns have already
joined in this nationwide educational
movement for the elimination of the
hyphen and this number is increasing
daily.
The magnitude of this work and its
development since its inception are
shown, in part, by the territory cover
ed, the number of candidates for cit
izenship reached, and the night and
day schools which have been establish !
ed for their instruction. 1t is the in
tention of the Bureau of Naturaliza
ton to communicate wit all applicants
for citizenship in the United States,
wherever they are to be found, and to
secure the opening of classes for them
During the current scholastic year all
superintendent of schools where
classes may be formed will receive
monthly from the Bureau the name,
az dress, age, nationality, and other
necessary information concerning each
alien residing within their jurisdiction
who files declaration of intention or
petition for naturalization. In this
manner the school authorities are en-
allied to get in touch with such appli-
C; hts and afford them valuable assist
ace for citizenship. In addition to
this the Bureau informs each applicant
for citizenship that his name has been
forwarded to the education authorities,
advises him to go to school, and points
OUT the benefits to be derived from such
attendance. The Bureau is also work
ing in close cooperation with various
patriotic and civic bodies of the coun-
try to secure the opening of public
right schools where there are none.
The wives of all petitioners are also
advised to attend school, for the reas-
CT that they derive citizenship when
teir husbands obtain their final
! papers, and because too, such instruc-
tion will materially aid the family to
live as Americans live. 1t has been
found that approximately two out of
every three petitioners for naturaliza-
ton are married, and it is toward the
Improvement of the home life and con,
ditions that this phase of the move
ment is especially directed |
The records Of the Bureau of Nat
uralization show that since the com
mencement of the school year on Oc- |
tober 1 notifications have been sent to
approximately 10000 declarants, 10000
petitioners, and $1,000 wives of petit |

added to the list.
The present value of naturalization |
shows that over half million foreign !
born residents annually bring them |
selves within the jurisdiction of the /
Bureau of Naturalization, and it is the |

SET NORWAY FIRE

Norway. Me-. July 26.-The postof-
fee, general store and grain mill
Norway Lake Supply Co., building,
owned by Edward Dewitt and Virgil
Dunn, both Of Norway. was destroyed
by fire early Sunday The fire which
was discovered by John Smith, pro-
prietor Of the store, is supposed to
have been set by tramps who were
spending the night in the mill. Mr..
Smith sent in the alarm to the village
and DR.. Bal F. Bradbury helped to haul
the fire fighting apparatus to the
scene with his auto. The blaze was SO
well under way that nothing could be
done to save the buildings. The fire
is supposed to have started in the mill
where II must have been set accidents
ally by the tramps.
Nothing but a few books were saved
from the buildings.
1t was late In the day before the IRE
was extinguished. The loss is partial
" covered by insurance. Dewitt and
Dunn estimate the loss OF the build
ing at $4,000 and the contents at 5000.

this bed he has harvested $685. worth.
getting at the rate of nearly 500 per
acre He has done what others might
do. He used barn dressing on the crop
and had a good rich soil. In many
cases it took only rs berries to fill q
quart box and the quality of the ber-
ries was such that he has sold them
1T higher price than most berry
raisers realize. On many Of the plants
there were 90 berries on a stem and an
part of this incident is that
