COUNTY BUYS A TRUCK
Much Needed Machine is Purchased
By the Board.

The County Board of Supervisors
yesterday made a contract for, and
bought a White Good Roads Truck
for hauling sand, cement, rock, tools
and other road equipment from place
to place. II Is an immense machine
which will haul five tons of material
and dump each load by power in
thirty seconds. II pulls two tons OF
the heaviest graders forty miles per
day. VIII pull a sixteen hundred
pound drag covering a road width OF
SO feet, fifty miles per day. 1t trans
ports gangs and supplies, also tools,
and reduces the labor cost by re-
ducing the number of drivers and
helpers. 1t supplants the traction en-
CINE, runs faster and does more work
per day, and will turn on an ordinary
width road. A thousand other i'm
proyements over the old way,
much more economical road maker
than the gangs of men who cost the
county thousands of dollars, and a
time saver in more ways than one.
Mahaska County has been in need
ofssuch a road maker for period of
years and perhaps no better invest
ment could have been made with the
$4,000, the purchase price of the ma
chine.

Home Misses Rings.

Des Moines, June 1.-THE homes
of two Italians who have served as
special police officers were wrecked
by dynamite Sunday morning In at
tempts to kill the inmates.
The police believe the work to
have been done by members OF
blackhand organization.
AngeliIe Ferraro suffered severe
cuts on the arms and face by glass
blown by the explosion of the bombs.
His home was badly wrecked inside
and two separate charges were fired,
ten minutes apart. The first ex-
plosion came at ITO a. m II blew
ont windows in houses a block away.
While police still were guarding
this house the home OF Tony Absiuz-
2io, just block from Ferraro's, was
dynamited at 2 o'clock.
The bomb had been placed on or
under the porch of Absiuzzio's house
and the porch was blown off and the
outside of the house was badly
wrecked.
No one was injured In the second
explosion. In the house besides
!iAbsiuZzio were his Wife and four
children.
The dynamiting OF Ferraro's home
sent residents in this vicinity into
the greatest excitement. a hundred
persons gathered in few minutes.
The Italians seemed to know from
the moment they heard the explos-
ion that one Of their countrymen had
been made the target for bomb.
Nothing new had developed in the
dynamite outrage up to noon today.
The two men had been special po-
| lice officers working among the ltal-
ians and it is supposed the dynamit-
ing was for the purpose of revenge.

Especial to the Yuma Daily Examiner)
 NEW YORK, Sept. l5.- With an amiablenesS as sur priSing as it is sudden, Dame Fashion has introduced the sensible in dress-she has done it more thoroughly, too, going into every detail, than the most rigid dress reformer could ever have hoped for. The war, with it's sobering in- fluence, has done more at one stroke than could have been accomplished by years and years of arguments.

skirts; when carefully tailored the re- sutl is unusually smart as well as be- ing most practical. The use of leather for trimming the purely out-of-door suit is growing in favor; leather cuffs, belt and often collar, are features of some of the new suits. For those to whom this novelty appeals-there is the piping of suede or kid in some soft harmonizing shade which may be applied to suit or frock even by those who make their own clothes.
 The modish woman this season leaves no loophole for criticism by those who invariably scoff at fashion even if she lives up to the last letter in her street clothes. Most of us, too. will, because of these new fashions. join the out-of-door girl in her morn ing walks.

CANKER SORES

Canker sores in the mouth are evi- dence of injudicious eating. People whose diet is we'll chosen, who don't eat too much and whose digestion consequently is good, don't have can- ker sores. Thus the treatment for such sores is better care of the stOm- ach. Eat less, chew your food more carefully, exercise more care in choos- ing your food, and your stomach will take care of the canker sores.

All Paris walks in the Bois these days, you know, and so we might say all New York walks on the Avenue, unless we except those who select the Drive because of it's brisk river breeze.
 The smart suit of tweed cut Norfolk fashion, with short, pleated or circular skirt, plenty of pockets both for use and for chic; small hat, heavy gloves, and heavy shoes, in tan or in black is a favored bostume. Then there is the girl with sport skirt of cor duroy, coat of vividly colored velours with hat of the velours, and low heel ed shoes of tan. Their stride has all the grace of movement of the athlete not hampered by tight skirts, unsteady heels, or discomfort of any kind.

The short, full skirt, the trim, dark tailored suit, the sparsely and smartly trimmed hats, good, sensible, rather high, walking boots with the straight heels, washable gloves and so on down to the last detail. All this has been brought about with no sacrifice of becomingness or chic.

 Time was, not very long ago, when sport clothes" were left, without a moment of hesitation, to the ward robes of the leisure class, who had time for sport; nowadays, we find the sport clothes," or, in other words, comfortable, sensible clothes, in every wardrobe. It is quite as exhilarating

The Separate Skirt

Since the introduction of the shirt waist, ever so long ago, the separate skirt has had it's own special niche in the well dressed woman's waro- robe; this season it promises to be even more useful than ever before. It is made moderately short, flares lii the approved fashion, and is finished with belt at the normal waistline or slightly above the normal. It is as conservative or as much trimmed as fancy dictates. Perfectly plain, de- pending upon material and cut alone for effect, it is smart; trimmed with line after line of stitching and quan- titles of buttons, it is also smart-in a different way.
