NOT AS HE EXPRESSED THEM
Teamster's Words Would Have Re quired Adjustment Before Their
 Use in the Pulpit.

A man was brought before police court charged with abusing his team and using loud and profane language on the street. One of the witnesses was pious old darky, who was sub mitted to short cross-examination.
 Did the defendant use improper language while he was beating his horses?" asked the lawyer.
 Well, he talk mighty loud, suh."
 Did he indulge in profanityi"
 The witness seemed puzzled. The lawyer put the question in another form:
 What I mean, Uncle Aus, is-did he use words that would be proper for your minister to use in sermon7"
 "Oh, yes suh," the old man replied with grin that revealed the full width of his immense mouth; ''but dey'd have to be ranged diffrunt. - Everybody's Magazine.

Little Doubt of One Thing.

Victor Murdock, chairman of the Progressive National committee, brought from Kansas on his visit to the East the information that the Democratic party will "blow up with in six months. Like predictions have been made so often, and so many tor pedoes directed at the party have struck it, and it has survived them, and it has lived through so many storms, and still triumphantly rides the waves of life, reasonably happy and serene, that there is room for se- rious doubt as to the reliability of MT. Murdock's prophecy. But no one would question statement to the eff. feet that MT. Murdock's own party, the Progressive, blew up some time since.

ROAD . BUILDING
WORKING FOR BETTER ROADS
Ways in Which Department of Agri- culture Offers Advice and Assist
 ance-Free Lectures Given.

Communities interested in the i'm provement of roads are recommend ed by the department of agriculture to apply for a lecturer on the subject. Lecturers will be sent at the govern ment expense wherever there is req son to believe that audiences will be large enough to make the expenditure of time and money worth while. Whenever possible it is, of course, de- sirable for a number of communities in the same vicinity to make arrange ments for lectures at the same time, since in this way the travelling ex- penses for each stop made by the lee turer are materially reduced.
 The number of lecturers at the dis posal of the department is limited, and it is not always possible, therefore, to comply with every request. When a

 A wreath for a debutante's hair is shown below the corsage flowers in the picture. It is wreath of daisies, simulated in narrow pink satin rib bon. They are set in velvet maiden hair fern and have millinery centers. The petals of the flowers are knotted loops of ribbon, and they are set by their wire stems to a band of pink ribbon.
 A girdle of wide brocaded ribbon is finished with a cluster of rosebuds made of satin ribbon in several light colors, set in small rose foliage. The ribbon is very wide and of a rich quality, making superb girdle to be worn with an evening gown. Any oi the light colors are appropriate for it. These are a few of the beautiful things made of ribbon which have been designed for the coming season With the coming of the holidays they will blossom out in all directions, tc the delight of their wearers and every

IT one were seeking a name for this Diquant party frock it might be ap- propriately called an Invitation to the Dance." Merely to look at it is enough to put the youthful heart in frolicsome mood. It is one of several new models in dance frocks so expres- sive of their purpose that to wear them and not be inspired to dance is quite inconceivable.
 It is made of chiffon and taffeta in the simplest of simple designs, with a straight, full skirt and short4sleeved baby waist.
 Ths bodice and upper part of the skirt are of chiffon, and the lower half is of corded taffeta. A group of five corded tucks above the hem and an- other of four tucks where the silk and chiffon are joined take the place of a hoop or wire used in some other models to give the desired bouffant eff feet. The baby waist has the regula- tion short, puffed sleeve and is fin ished with wide frill of taffeta about the half low neck.
 Quaint, conventional flower sprays are embroidered at wide intervals, in a prim row, about the skirt and on

If eyes were made for seeing, then beauty is it's own excuse for being" said very wise man. And so these lovely new little coquetries of dress present themselves without excuses. They are small extravagances made 10 charm the eye, first of all, and to be little useful also.
 A corsage rose and a poppy are made of rich ribbon and mounted with velvet millinery foliage. They are to be worn on the corsage, at the belt, or on the huff Both millinery flowers and those of ribbon and velvet are among the alluring triflss of this kind that captivate the fancy and add a bright charm to autumn finery.
 Besides the rose, there are orchids and dahlias and velvet poppies with petals edged with fur.

HAS AIDED COUNTRY
James J. Hill Praises New Bank
 ing System.
Democratic Measure Has Proved It's Worth and Is Now Important Fac tor in Contributing to the
 Country's Prosperity.

James J. Hill, the greatest empire builder in America, spoke recently of the financial revolution which has changed this country from a debtor to a creditor nation in single year, of the possibilities both of gain and dis aster which such a change involves, and then said:
 Fortunately, banking system has been put into effect which makes it possible for the country to handle it's new interests without disturbance"
 That new banking system is the work of the Democratic party and es- pecially the work of President Will son. It was put through in the teeth of the fiercest opposition from Wall street. It is standing every test. It saved the country from utter financial collapse a year ago last August and now it is providing the machinery for guarding and extending American com merce.
 It is working so smoothly that the country almost forgets it is there. But the next time any partisan ranter begins blathering about the Wilson ad- ministration being hostile to busi- ness," remind him of the federal re- serve act and quote the words of James J. Hill.

the ruff1e about the neck. A little reticule of chiffon is decorated in the same way and suspended by small cords from a spray placed near the top of the skirt. A crushed girdle Of wide ribbon about the waist is fas- tened at the back, the ends finished with narrow ruf1ies. Silk stockings and plain satin slippers clothe the feet with the proper elegance and dainti- ness for the dance.
 Any of the many lovely light colors may be chosen for a frock of this kind The embroidery is to be made in dark contrasting color or might be outlined in gold or silver thread.
 Another exquisite dance frock is made of net over silver cloth. A full three-quarter length skirt is finishec at the bottom with narrow hem into which wire is run. A fiounce is set on under this hem, falling to the ankles. The net above the wire is spangled or embroidered with beads in a scattered, dainty pattern. This gown has also a baby waist with double ruffles on the sleeves and a wide girdle of silver cloth. A short ruff fie of net appears below the girdle at the sides and back.

The evidence accumulates of the flooding in of the tides which taken at their flood lead on to fortune" Thus the logic of the argument be- comes irresistible that the American people have but boldly to welcome in the importunate opportunity knocking at their doors, repel all indictments to permit an irrelevant partisanship to sway their sober business judg- ment, think first of Americas welfare and their own, to possess and share an exuberant prosperity.

lecturer cannot be sent, however, the department will loan a set of suitable lantern slides to any responsible To- cal association or individual who will pay the express charges. The only requirement is that the slides be made of active and practical use in the community and that they be re- turned in good condition in 90 days. In addition, a brief outline of lec- ture to accompany the slides will be forwarded on request.
 In addition to this educational work the department is always ready to re- spond to requests for practical assist ance which may take the form of spe- cial advice and inspection, superin- tendence of county roads, road sur veys, experimental road work, bridge work, or the development of model system of highways for county. To obtain such assistance local authori- ties should secure blank form from the office of public roads on which to make applications. Requests from corporate villages or cities cannot be met, however.
 Bridge work is one branch of road building in which the department may be of particular service to local au- thorities. Typical designs have been prepared and copies of these can be furnished on request. A few minor alterations would probably make such design suitable for special condi- tions, or an engineer may be assigned to inspect the site and offer sugges- tions. In some cases designs by bridge companies have been reviewed by the department for the benefit of local of ficials.
 Possibly the most important way, however, in which the department as sists individual communities in the betterment of their roads is in laying out a model system of highways for a county which is about to expend a large sum of money on roads. In such cases the department assigns an en. gineer to make thorough study of | the district. He ascertains where the best road materials are, what roads are the most important, and therefore, to be improved first, and provides for the location of each road so as to secure the best possible drain age and grade.

Oklahoma SoIidIy Democratic.


 Republicans of Oklahoma have no ground for the belief that they have a chance to carry the state next year, according to Col J. w. Beverley, a prominent lawyer of Muskogee.
 There has been lot of talk. l know, among Republicans that they will carry the state next year. but there are no good reasons for it." said Colonel Beverley, at Washington. Oklahoma is just as solidly Demo cratic today as it ever was, and 1t will be Democratic next year. The president is strong throughout the state, not only among Democrats, but among Republicans.
 There has been a very marked i'm provement in business continued Colonel Beverley. Crops are fine. The recent hot spell has been good for the corn, and wheat and oats nev- CT were better There has been some reduction of acreage in the cotton sec tion, and the crop this year probably will not reach more than 100000 or s0O,OOO bales.
 Just now the oil industry is boom ing. The price of the crude oils has advanced in short time from as low as 20 cents a barrel to 80 cents, and it is going up. Oil men look for the price to reach $1.O0 by Christmas. Necessarily this will bring about an increase in the price of gasoline"
