STATE GOES WET,
JUP PLUYIUS SAYS
Rain Falls Generally Over Ne
braska, with Heaviest Fall
in Missouri Valley.
BOON TO WINTER WHEAT

While perhaps Nebraska went dry,
election day concluded with a greater
portion of the state decidedly wet,
not on account OF the votes cast, but
by reason OF rain that commenced
falling in the evening and continuing
well into the night.
According to the morning reports
to the railroads, the rain was almost
general over the state, the heaviest,
however, being along the Missouri
valley territory. The railroads re-
port three-fourths to an inch Of rain
up the valley, all the way to Sioux
City and extending back from the
river a distance of 100 to $50 miles.
Heavy Fall Here.
The heaviest rainfall reported was
down the river from Omaha, Platts-
mouth, Nebraska City, Brownsville
and Nebraska City recording one and
onc-half to one and three-fourths
inches.
All over the southern portion of the
state and nearly as far west as the
Colorado line come reports of an
inch or more of rain, with about the
same quantity OF precipitation along
the Platte valley, up through the
sand hill country and we'll into the
northern counties.
Helps Winter Wheat.
1t is asserted by the railroad men
that the rain coming at this time will
be of inestimable value to the state,
especially to the winter wheat sec
tons. 1t will wet the ground thor
oughly to depth of several inches.

grain and putting it in splendid con-

The railroads report that today the
weather has cleared all through the
western and central portions of the
state and that the weather in consid-
erably colder, temperatures being
down near freezing in the northwest
ern counties.

Economic Isolation Impossible
Shoop Tells Nebraska Teachers

and impression must go hand in hand.
We have come to realize that Ian
guage is not the only means of ex-
preston; that expression through the
manual arts is just as necessary and
important as through the vocal or
gans, Manual training is not tech
nical proposition Education is now
recognized as a creative as well as
receptive process, The world is more
interested in what the pupil can do
with what he knows, than what he
knows. Let us not be afraid of vo-
cational training lest the individual
fails to follow in the path we have
designated for him. Vocational train
ing will play its part in the economy
of education"

A year of prosperity in Maine was de-
scribed in the reports of officers at the
18th annual meeting of the Maine State
Board of Trade in Camden Sept. 21st.

the report of the secretary, treasurer
and executive council. Secretary Edward
M. Blanding of Bangor reported that
shipbuildiag is having it's greatest boom
for an extended period of years and at
numerous places along the Maine coast
existing shipyards generally are busy
and new yards are being opened. At Bath
there is unusual activity, both in steel
and wooden shipbujlding, and in Camden,
where there has been no launching for a
number of years, Every gratifying &C
tivity is visible" he said Secretary
Blanding reported the wholesale trade
as very satisfactory and collections good.
Manufacturers throughout the State re-
port conditions good and the outlook
promising. There is considerable activity
in building circles and the State has had

THIRTY TWO YEARS OF BUSINESS
SUCCESS.
Names Largest Commercial School.

October l, 1916, marks the 32nd ami
versary of the organization of The Shaw
Business College.
The room occupied October l, 1884, had
a seating capacity of 20 students. To-
day in lis three schools the Shaw can
seat comfortably 800 students.
Success in business enterprise de-
ponds in great measure on the policy
which controls it. The policy of the
Shaw has been such as to merit its con-
slant growth during the 30 years of its
existence, until today it is one of the
largest commercial schools in New Eng
land.
Its courses train the student for many
different lines Of work. In addition to
the regular Commercial Course, which
includes special work in Higher Account
ancy, it's Shorthand Course fits for the
stenographic profession; its Combination
Course fits for a secretarlal position, and
it's Teachers Course for teaching the
commercial branches in High Schools and
Academies. The Bangor branch has re-
emily placed teachers in the following
schools of Maine: Fort Fairfield High,
Franklin High, Easton High, Lincoln
Academy and Bucksport Seminary. Its
Telegraph Course prepares for all tele-
graph positions.
The school also gives special work
adapted co those desiring to duality tc
pass Civil Service examinations.
Three up-to- date and wide-awake Posi-.
ton Departments are maintained for the
benefit of its graduates. A good testi
monial that the business world appre
ciates and recognizes the superiority Of
| Shaw graduates is the fact that from
July "a, 1916 to Aug. l8, 1916. its Posi-
ton Departments registered 88 calls fol
office help, and these are only a Small
part of the calls received during thu
summer.
The Shaw Business College makes I
speciality of Individual instruction, adapt
ing the work to the needs Of the individ
ual student. 1t does not require pay
ment in advance, and it still maintain
its regular charge of $40 a month TO
tuition.
Its thousands of satisfied graduate
are also It's loyal supporters, and tn
Shaw feels grateful for this support, an
whatever influence it has, and whateve
it's Position Departments can do for ther
at any time is at their service.

ular with the girls for whom they were
designed, as well as with older women
who like stylish simplicity combined with
quality and finish. Named after the
heroine of a series of eight stories for
girls, these frocks are made up in three
classes. First, for street and utility
wear, built of serge finely tailored. and
with up-todate pockets, collars and but
ton trimmings, most of them with de-
tachable washable collars; second, in
silks, tins and Georgettes for after
noon wear; and, third, in social frocks of
dainty girlish design, developed in silk
nets and dainty mulls over Innings of the
metal cloth tissues that are the last word
in style this year. Moderately priced,
these dresses fill a need and appeal to
people of fastidious taste.
Modish Sets.
Sets of muff, hat and hand bag are
unusually alluring and pronounced every
youthful at the fashionable places
where they are offered. Velvet and
satin with embroideries and touches of
fur create their attraction and bags in
matching combinations of material are
swung from the arm on long cords or
beaded straps. Beads and tinsel find a
place in nearly all embroideries, and it
looks as though there would be surfeit
of these on dresses for street wear,
though the glitter and sheen goes we'll

Double Skirt Effects.
With the temperance of the Redin-
cote, the underskirt much narrower is
again with US, and this has been found
so becoming that it promises to attain all
the old-time favor. For evening wear,
silk Grapes over filmy petticoats that
have their transparency repeated in the

dorsed. The fashionable corsage has a
rather high cut in front. but the back is
decidedly low. Trains are apt to be de-

Tassels weight the points of filmy COL
