to accommodate these people there is
a movement on foot to establish sew

haul the cream on said routes. It is
estimated that it will cost no farmer
more than 40 cents per hundred

it will not pay him to spend from
three hours to a day to haul his own

Hcme Rule in Road Building.

There is movement on foot, back
ed by an organization calling the
minnesota Highway Home Rule
Association" to repeal the Dunn road
law, abolish state supervision of
road building and return to some
anomalous. anarchic state of town
ship control. .*rs, .:.,-:-,s5,>
If any such move as that should
succeed, it should be paralleled by the
absolute repeal Of every penny of
state aid. The state should never
spend dollar on. roads in the rout-
ing and building and maintenance Of
which it has no say.
Roads can't be built without system
any more than anything else. Mime
sofa could no more expect to acquire
a correlated road system by the
township plan than a man could ex-
pect to build house by putting a
crew of unskilled worknen on the
job without plans or: directions.
The township, should do township
road work, with the work of the sew
eral townships correlated by the
county. The county should do coun-
ty road work., with the work of the
several counties correlated by the
state. The state, with it's broader
vision, should generally supervise
and suggest uniform methods pro-
noting efficiency and economy. 2
There should be more centralized
organization of road work, not less.
If anything is done to the Dunn road
law it should be in that direction
the direction Of more coherent and
better planned work rather than in
the direction sought by this "home
rule" movement, which is in the di-
rection of anarchy and waste and in
efficiency. The Herald notes the
charge that this "home rule" move
ment is backed by a conspiracy of
bridge contractors, but it knows
nothing of that. = It is very plain,
though, that it is a stupid movement
with stupid aims, and that it ought
to- be defeated at all costs if Mime
sofa is ever to have a,.real road sys-
tem.-Duluth Herald. .s.

All kinds of. paper which the printer

associations are educational. The
farmer sees his own stock weighed
up and his neighbors also and cons
pares the quality, and when they re-
ceive returns they compare prices;
and when they endeavor to raise bet:
ter stock and fit them better for the

prices and more profit. It is d
square deal for all as they receive

To the Young People. !.

Az CNe 1OunS 1eOpleS IHeeClLS
held in the Swedish Mission church
in Warren last Thursday evening,
April 9Th, a good program was. given
in good Christian way. 1t was a
great pleasure to see the young peo-
pie gather around the word of Cod
to see them willing to follow in the
footprints of our forefathers, who
have had their faith in Jesus, our
Saviour. There were also a few Of
the older people there and they all
seemed to enjoy the way the. even
ing was spent. It is great to see that
there are some young people, that
do not only strive for their earthly
existence and pleasure, but also for
their eternal life and who study their
bible, the word of God, the book over
all books on earth, where they find
that our life is not ended when our
being goes down in the grave, but
that there is an eternal life on the
other side of the River of Death;
and furthermore that it is a life of
Joy, of pleasure, a life of satisfaction
for all those who believe in Jesus our
Saviour.
It was the first time I had the
pleasure to attend the young peo-
pies gathering of this kind in War
rem and 1 hope it will not be the
last. If it is the will Of God that |
can be of any assistance to further
the good work ] will try to attend
your meetings as often as | can.
After, the program, which consist
ed of bibel reading, prayer, songs de-
carnations and lectures on subjects
from the bible, refreshments were
served for. which a small fee was
asked. And to those who want to
find out more about God, our heaven
ly father, and what he has done for US
come to those meetings. You are
welcome and you will not regret it: !:

not think she ever has or ever will
have any great anxiety because Of
my neglect.

Verdun: and a Moral

Eat one point there was a small
gully in which the German dead were
piled twenty-five feet high, the as
sailants trying again and again to
advance over the bodies of their
comrades"
"The shrapnel from our seventy
five millimeter guns and the projec-
tiles from our heavy artillery fell
among them and you could see the
great gaps, as if a mower had passed
with scythe. The high explosive
shells burst on contact we'll, and
Limbs shot into the air. We were so
close that pieces of torn flesh fell
among us. Behind us the French ar
tillery fired into the German masses,
the German shells flying over our
heads toward the Douaumont section.
Then our machine guns, placed in
batteries every five yards, began to
play, and we saw the dead in groups
upright where there was not room
to fall"
These paragraphs are descriptions
from eye-witnesses of the scene at
Verdun.
Now notice this, from the columns
of an American financial newspaper:
Manufacturers see in the battle of
Verdun additional orders for Amer
ican-made ammunition. One esti-
mate places the number of shells
fired by both sides at 100000
This is twice the number of sheels
shipped by the Bethlehem Steel Cor
poratjon last year. y This year the
Bethlehem will shin about 100000
shells. -. The head of one of the
largest munition plants says large
orders for shells will be42placed* in
this country within the. next six
weeks Last week, after the tire
mendous she'll fire upon Verdun, the
cables became urgent from prompt
deliveries. It is. believed in financial
circles that the attack on Verdun
means a fastening of the repeat or
ders to American manufacturers.

Two Elements That Mark the
New Fashions That Come
From Paris.
DAY OF THE TALL WOMAN
She Is No Longer Compelled to Wear
the Extremely Abbreviated Skirt
If the Last Three Years
Evening Gowns Have
Dignity.

New York.-Any observant person
glancing over the masses of women
gathered in the large centers would
not say that there was any lack of
new autumn dressing. Hundreds of
new gowns were worn, and winter hats
made their appearance in mid-Septem-
Der, but the burden of the dressmak-
ers' plant was that these models were,
as a rule, bought from the shops at
reasonable prices and that the eXpen-
sive gowns which cost them such an
amazing sum of money were neglected.
The early autumn was perplexing
in regard to fashions. No expert who
saw behind the scenes can deny it. If
America had not been peculiarly pros
porous, if the stock market had not
been turning men into millionaires
with a rapidity that took the breath
away, the situation would have been
tragic to the importers.
You see, the prices in Paris have
never reached such a height in the
history of women's clothes. That's q
big statement, but on reading the
ltemiZed bills that were made by the
women of Europe during the first and

James Whitcoynb Riley as a Lion.

1t was a mark of our highest CON
sideration to produce Riley at enter
tainments given in honor of distin
guished visitors, but this was not al
ways to be effected without consider
able plotting. Il have heard that in
Atlanta "Uncle Remus" was even 9
greater problem to his fellow citizens y
Riley's innate modesty, always to be
reckoned with, was likely to smother
his cOmpaniOnableness in the presence
of ultra-literary personages. His re
spect for scholarship, for literary so
phistication, made him reluctant tt
meet those who he imagined, breathet
an ether to which he was unacclimat
ed. At a small dinner in honor OF
Henry James he maintained q stric
silence until one of the other guests
in an effort to draw out" the novelist
mentioned Thomas Hardy and the fe
Lefty of his titles, instancing "Undei
the Greenwood Tree" and "a Pair o.
Blue Eyes" Riley for the first time
addressing the table, remarked quietly
of the second of these: ITS an ode
thing about eyes, that they are usually
in sets pa comment which did not

being funny.-Meredith Nicholson, il

second empire, and also before the
French revolution under the reigns of
Louis XIV and Louis XVI, it is quite
possible that the statement can stand
without argument.
Cite Higher Cost of Materials.
France excused herself on the plea
that material was so costly to produce
that the designers had to put out an
immense amount of capital to secure
the right fabrics to create gowns that
the Americans would buy. She in
sists that she did not make more than
her usual percentage out of the more
than two thousand models which she
offered to the American public in Au-
gust.
If you wonder why half the matrons
in the country are smiling as they
come out of the dressmaking places
and shops, it is because their day in
dress has come. We will now be state
ly in the evening.
This does not mean that one shall
instantly relax vigilance over the flesh.
Double chins, pad at the back of the
neck, rounded hips and q thickened
diaphragm, are no more desirable now
than they were six months ago.
The doctors have made so much of
this fight against flesh, approving of
it in it's moderate form and urging
it upon every woman in the name of
health, that it is not probable that we
shell let the figure grow old merely
because the fashions have changed.
There are so many reasons for keep
ing slim these days that every woman
is provided with a good one. 1t may
be the mere feminine desire to be fash
ionable, or it may be the extreme rea-
son advanced by one woman at din
ner the other night, who said "The
doctors say that it is necessary to
keep slim because, If one Is operated
on, the less fat the knife has to go
through, the better"
To the shocked inquiry of the other
woman as to whether she expected an
immediate operation, she said: ooh,
no; / have nothing the matter with
me as far as I know, but everyone is

CIGAR Ashes Valuable.

A curious possible source of value IL
uncOnsidered waste is revealed by 6
British chemists thought that tobacco
ash contains 20 per cent of potash. He
estimates that the ash of cigar con
tains 6.5 grains of potash; that of 8
cigarette, LIS grains; and that of ar
ordinary pipe of tobacco, 1.6 grains
The ash of the tobacco consumed ir
the United Kingdom in the year end
ing March 81, 1914, contained about
2,672 tons of potash, worth more thar
$250,000 at the prices prevailing before
the war. Important amounts of ash
could be collected in clubs, hotels ant
other public places.-Columbia State.

Floor Plan.

the wheelbarrow, or pay for having
1t done, is figured, it will be found
that carriers will pay for themselves
in a short time. Most farmers time
is too valuable to be spent at such dis
agreeable and unnecessary work.
The construction of this barn con-
slsts Of a frame structure, the frame
of which is built entirely out of plank
ing not more than two inches in thick
ness, and built on a concrete founda-
ton which extends far enough above
the floor and outside ground level to
prevent moisture from coming into
contact with the wood sill and frame.
The sill should be well bolted ON the
top of the concrete foundation. The
studding are 2 by 6 inch for barns of
ordinary dimensions, and spaced 16
inches to "a inches on center, the "a
inch spacing being preferred because
any stock length of board can be
nailed to them without waste. The
studding are generally ii or 16 feet
long, and have a double pinch by g.
inch plate spiked on top, which ties
them together, keeps them straight
and forms a sill for the rafters.
The jOists Of the haymow floor are
made of 2-by10 or 2-by-12-lnch planks
as the weight may require, and these
are spaced the same as the studding,
so that the end Of each joist may be
spiked against the side of the stud
ding and, at the same time, rest on a
2-by-6-inch ribbon, which Is well spiked
to the studding. This ribbon continues
the full length Of both side walls with
as few joints as possible.

this appendage, as Callot uses it, does
not increase her dignity; it heightens
her absurdity if she allows herself to
wear it in it's original form.
The Callot evening gowns are drawn
so high in the front that more than
half of the leg shows against a back
ground formed by the train. This
trick is too theatrical for any woman
except one employed in a chorus that
brings out fantastic sartorial effect.
Not for American Woman.
Callot does not intend it to be worn
by the American woman. She has
tried this skirt for season after season
and it is always filed in with a flounce
of lace, tulle or metal.
With the exception of few eccen-
tricities, all the evening gowns pre-
sent stately effect and give a vivid
impression of dignity. They hang in
straight lines down the figure, it is
true, and have not regulation waist
line, but the absence of frivolity and
the presence Of ecclesiastical needle
work, touch up each frock with q
ceremonial aspect.
Infrequently, in the new evening
gowns, one sees n way Of escape from
needlework for the woman who does
not wish to adopt it. It's expense Is
against it, where the majority of wom'
en- are concerned. 1t is not possible
to get this kind of needework cheaply
done, and all manner of bullion threads
and colored crystals have advanced in
price. The dressmakers are already
substituting cheaper trifles for these
costly ones, as in the first place, few
women will pay the original price, and
in the second place, it Is difficult to
get the material and workmanship II
this country.
However, for the satisfaction OF
those who like the conservative rather
than the new, there is the truth star
ing one pleasantly in the face that
velvet, satin and silk net are reckonet
AMONG the first factors In brilliant
evening gown.
