UNUSUAL
Choice of Fabrics for Your
Spring Outfit.
Many Natty Styles for Tailored
SuItings - Waist Line Comes
Back as TIght-Fitting Sleeve
Disappears.

1t is with a joy, kindred to that OF
the butterfly when IL emerges from
its cocoon, that we cast away dust
ladened furs and heavy worsted gar
ments and replace them with spict
and span frocks and tailored suits Of
lightweight materials, with their
crisp lingerie collars and Guns.
Fashion is as generous IN proVid-
ing womankind with attractive spring
attire as Mother Nature is In cloth
ing her children. You have but TO
gaze in the shop windows to quell any
doubt as to the truth OF this state
ment,
There is a most interesting collect
on of tailored suits and coat dresses
to costume the smart woman when
warm days call for clothing OF light
er weight. They are of French
serge, gabaTdine, homespuh, faille,
rajah, Scotch eponge, whipcord or
taffeta The soft, nOn-crushable ma
terials have forced the stiif, heavy
varieties temporarily into the back
ground.
Each of these costumes emphasizes
the fact that the normal waist line
has been recalled to favor by capri
cious fashion, and that the skin-tight
sleeve has been consigned to the an
nails of the past Most Of the coats
have ripping peplums and closely
fitted bodices. The sleeves are of the
bishop type, or fare, bell-shaped
about the hands
Where frocks are concerned, each
one seems to have its individual pair
of sleeves, while others have haring
tops over full sub-sleeyes of sheer
materials. There is a strong prefer
ence for the puffed sleeve, and when
the frock is developed of transparent
fabric, such as chiffon, georgette
crepe or tulle, the sleeves are form
ed of a series of pulfs quite after the
fashion of those worn in the romantic
days of Henry of Navarro.
The skirts of these same frocks are
wide, showing broad, horizontal tucks
bias folds, circular flOunces, or cord
ed shirrings. About the waist they
are gathered, pleated, shocked, shir-
red or fitted smoothly to yoke

SCAT"
The Only Word Fit to Appear
in Public Prints
As Young Inventor Returns 20
His Home After Battle In the
Trenches With Geyser Family
Invention Now for Sale.

East Moriches, l.. l., March IL
Those who know skunks, either as
pets or marksmen, realize that moth
ing distinguishes them, aside from
their aroma, more than their love OF
home life. And for this reason when
a skunk father immigrates into an
empty barn, we'll or Ice house, tax
ing with him his whole skunk family,
the owner of the property becomes a
most unhappy landlord. No skunk
will listen To an argument. He
knows his limitations and when IT
comes time for action, he simply does
the first thing that occurs to him.
w. III. Chapman, OF thls town,
opened his ice house yesterday to
find that family OF skunks had tax
en- an apartment with him. He ran
about half mile along the road lead
ing from his farm and every time he
yelled Guess what l found in my
barn?" the neighbors drew in a long
breath and guessed correctly-wlth
a panied expression.
Mr.. Chapman finally met his nep-
hew, Harold Chapman, who stood at
distance of twenty-five PAGES, and
heard his uncle's story of a wild
morning at the old ice house. Har-
old is the young man who recently at
tanned East Moriches fame by invent
ing a motor bobsled and he inform
ed his uncle, without releasing his
hold on his nose, that he would rid
the family cooler of the geyser fam
lily for fifteen cents American money.
This morning at two minutes after
ten O'Clock Harold, the dauntless,
wearing a haircomb and a signet ring,
opened the door of the ice house and
shrieked scat" 1t was the only
word he uttered this morning that is
fit to print in a family publication.
His uncle got off light. Harold after
ward explained to a friend over the
long distance telephone that he new
er knew there was so much odor in
America For twenty minutes he
fought with these animals who re-
gard the rules of conflict as mere
scrap Of paper. When he had finish
ed every one of them had been
thrown out of the ice house and he
was alone with their parting tribute.
Friends with gas helmets turned
hose on him and late today he was
slowly becoming tOlerable.

BUNNY,s THANKsGIVING

Aha! the snow is falling, in pure,
soft flakes of white;
1t greets the coming day and bids
farewell to fading night.
'Tis dawn; the flakes come fitting
down. the suncasts forth no ray;
His face is hid behind the clouds, and
'tis Thanksgiving Day;
A day when people, young and old,
from all the wide world Ger,
Should thank their God for what He's
done; then gladly thank him more.
But, while the light increases, while
shadows creep away,
There's one, at least who does not
know about Thanksgiving Day.
Near the melancholy forest, where all
the leaves lie dead,
Wild Bunny sets a-blinking in his
cozy, snowy bed.
His long slim ears are held erect, he
keeps a-loOking back
For anything which might by chance,
espy his fresh made track.
He's ready at any time to flee, the
moment foe advances;
He's ever on a careful Watch-Wild
Bunny takes no chances.
Hark! A noise bTeakes the silence, a
deep, long, drawn-Out wall,
A rabbit hound! Alas! Alas He's
found poor Bunny's trail.
But look! from out the snow appears
a shooting streak of gray;
'Tis Bunny, making for his hole
half a mile away.
His only chance, he knows it well,
and spurts along the ground.
Behind him comes the dreadful foe,
gaining at every bound.
One quarter mile is quickly passed,
the hole soon looms in sight,
Bunny, with faint hope in his heart,
leaps on with all his might.
The hound draws near; the space be-
tween the two is fast diminished;
The dogs hot breath is plainly felt;
the race is nearly finished
Poor Bunny He scarce can keep his
pace he's almost out of breath,
But if he stops, behind him comes an
almost cetain death.
But look! With sudden burst of
speed, he dashes up bank,
And disappears within his hole as
the hound just nips his flank
Once in his hole he does not fear; the
danger now is gone;
He throws himself upon his bed and
sleeps with without a yawn.
In his sleep, his dreams were thank
full, as on his bed he lay,
And this, believe or doubt 1t, was
Bunny's Thanksgiving Day.

ANOTHER
ST. Henry Lad Gains Distinction in
Marine Corps for Performance
In Gunnery at Boston

In an official bulletin issued by
Headquarters, United States Marine
Corps, Washington, appears the name
of Charles j. Feltz of St. Henry, this
county, as having qualified as a
marksman in that most interesting
branch of the Government service.
Charles, who is a son Of Louis
FeltZ, X. ID. No. q, st. Henry, enlist
ed in the United States Marine Corps
at its Cleveland recruiting station on
August 80, 1915 and is now serving
at the marine barracks, navy yard,
Boston, Mass. awaiting transfer to ex-
peditionary duty where he will have
many interesting experiences and ad-
ventures, or to a cruising battleship
which will visit strange lands and
give the Mercer county youth an eX-
cellent opportunity to see the world.
Considering the fact that Feltz is
scarcely more than a recruit, his per-
Torrance in gunnery is looked upon
by Marine Corps officials as little
short of marvellous, and they expect
him to break many craftsmanship
records before his enlistment expires.

BOY POET
OF Middlepoint, Van Vert County
Gets Praise of James WhitcOmb
Riley, HoOsier Poet

Henry Baker, of Middle Point, Van
Vert county, siXteen-year-Old son
of parents who have brought nine
other children into this world, bids
fair to become the bard of Ohio, il
the pace which he has set in poetry
at present stays with him in the fu-
ture. The young man has been at
tending schools at Middle Point until
few years ago, when he was COM
pelled to give up his school studies to
take up work to help support the IA
mily. He is now working in small
city in Indiana and keeping two OF
the children of his parents. Henry
has ambitions and he is saving his
money in the hope of being able to
amass enough to carry him through
school and college within the next
few years.
Proof of the fact that Baker is a
coming poet of no mean ability lies
in the fact that he won the following
meritOrious comment from James
Whitcomb Riley, the Hoosier poet,
when that worthy read Bakers poem,
"Bunny's Thanksgiving" The let
ter and poem follow:
indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 6, 1916.
Henry Baker, Esq, Middle Point, O..
Dear Henry: l have just read
your "Bunny's Thanksgiving" and
it is simply fine. Wish l could
have done half as well at your age.
Hitch your wagon to a star" and
press onward through sunshine
and shadow, storm and calm.
Strive to do your best,
Il hA nCt

plimented so highly by Mr.. Riley:

fined in county jails in Indiana last
year, 1864 got there by travelling
the booze route. If the taxpayer was
relieved from digging up the money
to pay for the police who made the

the cost of 14,6S4 court trials and
the 40 cents day that spent to feed
each OF them, it would be quite an
