luxury Of the rich everyone makes

Manufacturers Of coats, as in other
lines, find that their business must
take note of the influence of the mo-

that show wonderful adaptability to
all the needs of summer.
Two excellent models that will serve
for motor wear and other wear as well
are shown in the picture. One of them
Is OF plain cloth in a bright shade of

story ofan ambitious young doctor

use of opiates and narcotics, was mar
rated in district court today when
Mrs. John II. Dexter was arraigned

morphine.
Mrs. Dexter is the daughter of a
wealthy timber man of Rhinelander.
Wis, DR.. Dexter wasa graduate from
medical school in Grand Rapids,
Mich, four years ago. He hired his
wife, who was graduated at the same
time, as a nurse. They went into the
malaria sections ofthe south with a
new treatment for the disease.

PRESBYTERIANS WONDER
WHO WILL SUCCEED
STEVENSON AS MODERATOR
(By United Press Association.)

Atlantic City, n. j., May 19.-One
Of the subjects Of greatest interest at
the 128th General Assembly of the
Presbyterian Church, which is meet
ing here today, is who will be the
next moderator to succeed the incum-
bent, the Rev. DR.. ]. Ross Stevenson
president of Princeton Theological
Seminary. Not for years has there
been so little discussion before an as
sembly of candidates. Usually the
politics begin as early as the preced-
ing January. But within six weeks
OF the approaching assembly there
were only two men who were actually
known to have their chats in the
ring. One is the Rev. DR.. Samuel
5. Palmer, pastor of Park Church,
Columbus, Ohio, who was defeated
candidate a few years ago. The 9TH
er is the Rev. Dr. John A. MARQUES,
president Of Coe College, Cedar Rap
ids, Iowa. Both are we'll known thru
out the Church. 1t seemsthat geogra-
phically each has a good chance, as
there is a sentimentto let the honor
go to man from the Middle West.
DIR. Palmer was defeated at the At
lanta assembly, and Dr. MARQUES re-
fused to let his friends nominate him
at Chicago, as they desired, so as to
1pava tho fold o1oay for +Lo Pow H.,
Maitland Alexander, of Pittsburgh,
who was elected. 1t is possible that
another candidate may be the Rev.
Dr. Cornelius M. Steffens, president
of Dubuque College and Theological
Seminary, who was one Of the defeated
candidates at Rochester. But many
believe that DR.. Steffens would not
consent to run against a man in his
own synod. 1t is possible that friends
may put forward the Rev. DR.. George
B. Stewart, president of Auburn
Theological Seminary, Auburn, n. Y.
DR.. Stewart was defeated also last
year. Because the three nominees at
Rochester, Drs. Stevenson, Stewart
and Steffens, all have names which
begin with "st", they have been
known ever since as "The Three
Saints" Another question that is
interesting Presbyterian leaders is
who they shall elect to succeed the late
Rev. DR.. William B. Noble as perma-
nent clerk of the assembly. DR. No
BILE, whose home was in Coronado,
Cal, died last summer. The office
carries with it salary of $3.50. Of
the many candidates for that position
one is the Rev. DR.. Clarence G. Rey-
nolds, pastor in Elizabeth, N. J. There
are many who are urging the merg-
ing of the office with that of the as
sistant stated clerk, the incumbent of
which is the Rev. DR.. James M. Hub
bert, who works the year around in
the General Assembly's Headquar-
tiers, in Philadelphia, under the Rev.
DR.. William Henry Roberts, the
stated clerk.

The new idea has been worked out
by John p. Hume, who is familiar
with soils of Wisconsin and the OBJ
stacles confronting settlers.
People Eager for Soil.
"There are thousands of people who
want to get back to the land" said
Mr.. Hume, "but Notwithstanding this
strong desire, the increase in the
number of Wisconsin farms in the
last census period was only about 5
per cent. This new company pro-
poses to put men on the land who
have little or no money to start with.
They are the people most eager to
leave the cities"
The officers Of the company are:
Richard Roll, banker, Hustisford,
Wis, president; William J. Morgan,
Milwaukee lawyer, who spent his
earlier life on a farm in Calumet
county, vice president; George D.
Bartlett, secretary and treasurer of
