Cre.co Will Celebrate the Fourth.

That Cresco will have grand Fourth
of July celebration this year will be
welcome news to both young and old.
Cresco never does things by halves and
the fact that 1916 is the semi-centen-
nial of our beautiful city is double
assurance that this years celebration
will be the best ever, one long to be
remembered by those who participate.
A great many asked that Cresco cele'
brate last year but the Commercial
Club members thought best to wait till
this year and then have such grand.
glorious Fourth as would fittingly cele-
brate Cresco's 5Oth birthday.
The Cresco Commercial Club has
voted to celebrate and they will have
full charge of the celebration. The
business and professional men of Cres-
CO belong to that organization so that
the united energy of Cresco's business
men will back this years Goth anniver-
sary celebration.
Plans are being made early SO that
the best attractions may be secured.
There will be a great variety of amuse-
ments to please old and young. Mayor
Barker will notify all the fighting ma
tions of Europe, Asia and Africa that
they must not fire shot on July 4th,
neither a musket or 4O-centimeter
gun, or Cresco will call it breach OF
neutrality. July 4th is Cresco's day
this year and the people of our beauti-
full and progressive city extend an in.
vitation to one and all to help celebrate
their 5Oth birthday anniversary. ~

Another Doomed Industry.

When the democrats undertook Cne
revision of the the tariff few months
after the 1912 election there were loud
walls from the cotton mills of New En-
gland that their business was doomed
to certain obstruction. The plight of
silent looms, with thousands of wage
earners out of work, was gloomily por-
trayed for the country by congressional
representatives of the textile industri-
es. Standpat organs pathetically dis
cussed the ruination of great Ameri-
can industry as tho it had already come
to pass.
In the face of these doleful OUT
breaks, it is of peculir interest to read
this Associated Press dispatch in the
current newspapers:
Boston, Mass, Dec. 29.-Notices Of
wage increases affecting many thous-
and employees were posted today in the
cotton mills in various cities of North
er New England. The action followed
q conference of mill treasurers held in
this city at which it was agreed that
improvement in business conditions
warranted an advance to operatives.
''Cities in which were increase notices
notices were posted included Manches-
ter, Nassau, Dover, Somersworth and
Salmon Falls, N. H., and Lowell and
Lawrence, Mass. While no specific
amount was named, Fit is understood
here that the advance will average five
per cent for all employees receiving $l(
week or under. The number of ope
ratives affected by the increase is sale
to be rs, OOO.''
The New England cotton mills are
another set of tariff benefciaries who
''hollard before they we're hurt Lit
|. tie by little the people are learning
that SO per cent Of the outcry against
tariff revision downward is inspired
solely by the reluctance of bloated in
dustries to forego their ancient garft

BARkETT AT WHIT DIED
OF SELF.lNFLICTED WOUND.

Oscar J. Barkett aged % years, who
shot himself at Writ, Friday morning,
died o. the wound about noon on the
same day. c. Boone Taliaferro of this
city prepared the body for burial and
shipped it to Oklahoma City to rela-
tives. The young man was an As
syrian, he was employed with Said
Bros. in a dry goods store and he is
said to have stated to one of the clerks
that he had gambled off 500 of the
money that belonged to the store and
asked the fellow what to do. He was
advised to tell the story to the boss
and agree to work out the money.
Without making reply to the man Civ
ing the advice he turned and walked
toward the back of the store and drew
a gun and shot himself in the temple.
His mother is in the old country and
he has seven sisters in America. He
was perfect specimen of physical
and was so hurt over the loss
OF the money that he felt he could not
face the situation, and chose death in
preference to the humiliation.

BUTTERFLY NOW IN FAVOR
Has Taken the Place Of the Bluebird
as Most Popular Emblem for
Jewery.

The bluebird as a fashionable fetish
Is no longer lin ito borrow from
school-boy slang-for the butterfly has
fiuttered into favor and now enthralls
feminine fancy. Butterflies of colored
enamel poise on almost bare shoul-
ders, alight on bodices, tremble over
the coiffure, spread themselves, bar
ette-fashion, across the back hair and
even clasp fashionable handbags. In
other words, butterflies are mounted
on brooches, lacepins, hair combs and
pins, barrettes, bracelets and the like.
Theater handbags of velvet or richly
brocaded silk have butterfly clasps,
enameled to match the bag-and the
enameled clasps bring the price of
the bag up to twenty odd dollars or
so.
Pearl glass beads and coral neck.
laces are the most popular Pearl s
also popular for hatpins and earrings,
and also as an ornament for hair
combs. Hair combs are in a great va.
riety of shapes and materials,
among which are the mandarin combs,
made of imitation tortoise shell, the
upper part of the comb being deco
rated with Oriental designs, such as
dragons, peacocks, etc. Combs in the
shape of butterflies are very effective
when inlaid with rhinestones or with
colored beads, especially in blue and
in ruby.
