The Story Of n Cot

At the outset we want to affirm that
we suppose that a Mayor has as legal
a right to buy fixtures for the town of
Mail Order House as an individual
but morally we don't believe he has.
The town recently built some cells in
the power house to confine town pris-
oners in. There never has been an oc-
cupant but then there may be at any
time and prison cell like a house
must have some furniture. The Coun-
Gil instructed the Mayor to purchase
the furnishings, viz: one cot We un-
derstand the said Mayor visited one of
our furniture stores and found that
they did not carry cots in stock. the
other dealer was not approached 1t

Enr0ute to McC0sk, Nebr.
April l, 1915

Dear Mr. Editor:
Will you allow me once more to tres
pass on your unfailing kindness in
using the columns of the "Grit-AdvO-
cate" to thank on behalf of our fam
lily the host of Julcsburg people who
conspired in the last few days of our
stay In Julesburg to make us even
more indebted to them than we had
been before. AS the train increases
the distance between us and the town
where we made our home for nearly
four years we realize more than ever
how true were the friendships formed
and how wide the circle of our friends
even beyond the church with WHICH we
were the more intimately concerned.
We are rejoicing that Juleshurg more
than at any time in our previous ex-
perience' is stirring in spiritual and
religious life-an experience confined
not to the churches. tho revealed more
clearly there. May the result be a
closer cooperation of the churches and
all other community enterprises for
a better Julesburg!
Our greatest joy is the increased
strength of the Congregational church
that has become so dear to US. l be-
lieve there is a great field ready for
the service of the new minister. So
much will depend on the continuance
and ever increasing of the present
splendid spirit of loyalty to Christ and
the church on the part of young and
old. "Only let your manner of life be
worthy of the Gospel of Christ; that
whether I come and see you or be alb
sent l may hear of your state that ye
stand fast in one spirit, with one soul
striving together for the faith of the
Gosel"
Sincerely yours,
Louis Heb

The Miracle
Consider the pumpkin.
II biJofb ;tcoJf ou,fIc< =

Consider the pumpkin.
1t hideth itself amidst the growing
corn.
1t is the lowlicst of all things that
groweth in the fields.
The proud farmer spurneth it and
the Small Boy laugheth it to scorn.
The Wise Men of the Agricultural
College lectureth not upon it. Never
hath it caused car shortage
The bugs dcvoureth it not and the
beetles and the worms and the moths
and the weevils and all the mighty
host that preyeth upon the naughty
Corn and the Wheat and the Spuds,
give it the go-by
Behold it is the goat of the vegeta-
BILE Kingdom.
Yet there cOmeth day when the
wife of the husbandman cutteth the
Pumpkin into golden squares and boil
eth it in the syrup of the sugar-cane
and addeth thereunto sweet spices,
yea even cinnamon and cloves and GIN
ger.
And Lo. A miracle is wrought.
She bringeth forth from the oven
the Pumpkin pie, and the odor there
of is sweeter than the breezes from
Clutch.
And the husbandman and the small
boy and the Hired Man falleth down
in alteration and watereth ar tho
mouth
For it is morsel fit for Kings and
Princes.
You know it.

New Cloth Called Tipperary and Modes

SON Gowns, Skirts and Waists

(By Margaret Mason, written for Uni

There's new cloth called Tipperary,
1t will be quite the go.
In sport coat for little Mary,
Or the swellest girl you know;
Goodbye to tweed and homespun,
Goodbye for fair;
There's new cloth called Tipperary,
And it's smart to wear.
NEW YORK, Feb. 5-Everybody is
singing the praises of new fabric for
sport coats and suits called Tipperary
cloth. Everybody also who is anybody
when it comes to the clothes line of
distinction. is preparing to make her
self shipshape for spring in coat of
"dreadnaught grey"
The answer is that it is quite the
thing to name new colors. new fab
rics and new models this year by some
name closely allied to the Allies or at
least some phase of the war.
Triple Intente," is the striking title
for one new model and "Alnrte" is a
fetching tribute to the Belgian king, in
old blue velvet striped chiffon over
an old gold slip.
Cossack and Russian faring skirts
and coats still prevail and also the trig
little khaki Tommy Atkins suit, but its
sand cOlored "chicness" is becoming
almost as legion as the sands of the
desert
1t seems that the heads of the fair
ones more than their hearts are pro-
Gelmen. for the helmet effects in
chapeaux are still to the fore and
many are the straw ones leading the

Russian peasant dresses have prov
ed the inspiration for an elaborate ev-
ening gown by Louise. 1t is developed
in sage green corded silk and has the
tight fitting peasant bodice cut out
with Il square decollette and laced W
the sides under the arms with gold
cord. The skirt is full and has the
semblance of an apron worked out In
heavy gold embroidery
Military effects have also invaded
the ranks of the evening gowns and a
saucy little model OF midnight blue
chiffon has its full skirt braided in
gold around the deep hem and up the
front and the tight bodice has gold
cord draped across the front and UP
over the shoulders in lieu of more sub
stantial sleeves
Indeed all the gold braid and brass
buttons and gold fringe that has been

tic hues, violet and grey are the two
favored shades. The grey OF the mourn

All tones of violet are good, running

Alas, however, the war is not con-
tent to flaunt its strong influence on
our fashions alone, it has reached
right up into our faces and most dis

probably never occurred to his Honor
that anyone OF our merchants could
order a cot as well as he and there
fore he writes Montgomery Ward and
Co. at Kansas City to send a cot and
dealing with a firm like that he sends
$2.35 in advance for the aforesaid cot.

tells us that he could have ordered the
identical same cot on the same terms
and made 40 cents.

of S1.lO while still another about

does not grow faster. We wonder why
our taxes are so high and why there is
no more business in the town. And
this Is one Of the reasons, 40 cents
profit is a small matter but it Is these
little things that make the big ones
If the Mayor of the town is not loyal

that this was simply an oversight but
