STEARNS LEADS.

The commissioners of Stearns coun
ty have shown their willingness to
work with their neighbors in building
a good road that starts somewhere
and goes somewhere"
1t has approved plan to cooperate
with the commissioners of Todd and
Douglas counties and the state high
way commission to build a frst-class
highway from St. Cloud to Alexan-
dria.
The estimated cost of this improve
ment will be 100000. One-half of
this is to be appropriated by the fed
eral government, and the other half
by the three counties, based on mile
age ana cost of work. Todd county
will be called upon for a very small
amount as but short part of the road
is through that country. The Stearns
county share will be about $4,000.
This is one of the main thorough
fares of the central section of the
state. 1t is the Red Trail and is
also a part of the Minnesota Scenic
route, and is the direct route from the
Twin Cities to Fargo. The automobile
travel in the summer months is so
heavy that the expenditure in making
it better road is imperative. The sec
ton of the road from St. Cloud to
Sank Centre is usually in good condi-
ton, but in wet weather the road
through Todo and Douglas counties is
very bad, and it is expected these
counties will be glad to cooperate
with Stearns.
Stearns county commissioners have
been doing excellent work with the
money at their command for good
roads, and in maintaining them after
they were graded.
Next year the ten miles from Broo-
ten to Sank Centre will be built, the
road between Rockville and Cold
Spring will be graded and surfaced
and the road from the Sank Rapids
bridge to the Sank River will be put in
good shape.
Once the road from st. Cloud to
Sank Centre is put in condition so
that it can be kept so by caretakers,
the road funo can be used on other
roads in the county. 1t is going to
be but few years when Stearns coun-
ty will have the best roads in the
state.-St. Cloud Journal-Press.

COVENSON IN PADDED CELL
Negro Slasher Who Assaulted Two
Men Here Not Trusted by
Sheriff's Officers.

According to advices from st. Cloud,
James Covensen, the negro whc is
awaiting trial in district court on
charge of assaulting two men after
holding them up in Sank Centre last
July 4, has been placed in the nut
ward" in the Stearns county jail.
Covensen, while not showing any VIC
lence so far, has been acting strange
of late and the sheriff decided TO take
no chances as the niger is bad ac-
tor. Time and again he has made
the threat that when he gets out of
jail he will come back to Sank Centre
and "get" the local police officers.
Covensen has been in jail almost six
months. He at first talked of enter
ing plea of guilty and appearing
before the court direct, but later
changed his mind and decided to fight
the case. He has considered it several
times since but always ended up with
the decision to fight the charges
against him. The criminal calendar
opens Jan. 2.

is often used with it. With the high
collar and closing at the side, these
dresses give very much the impress
sion of a suit. 1t has been observed
of late that such dresses giving the
appearance of suits have been very
much worn at Afternoon functions. A
waist with a short peplum sometimes
gives this effect, especially when the
dress is developed in velvet, velours,
or the other wool materials which are
used both for suits and dresses.
Accessories of Dress.
Now that the holidays are at hand,
all the dainty feminine accessor-
les in every form are displayed to
the greatest advantage in the stores.
Bags of all descriptions there are,
for these are considered very neces-
sary addition to the wardrobe in these
days. Bags of velvet, suede, ribbon
and beads are seen in such a variety
of colors and shapes that no one can
possibly have any difficulty in Sc
lecting those that will harmonic with

carrying a rifle, slipped and fell, the
gun being discharged and the bullet

Cloud, has home again. Five weeks
age he tackled up signs on his domlcle
warning all persons away because ii
presence of scarlet fever in the house.
He himself had to live down town.
Now the doctor has lifted the ban.
George Schneider, we'll known farm
err of Hartford town, Todd county,
has petitioned the probate court to
declare his sister, Regina Schneider,
legally dead. The young woman has
not been heard from in 16 years and
the petition is filed to permit the
closing up of the estate of George
Schneider.
The zeal of hunting dog was re-
sponsible for the death of its master,
John Mackereth at Kimball. Mack
ereth and Stephen Mclean had chased
mink into a hole and the dog had
jumped into the hole, but in leaping
out struck the gun Mackereth had
stood against a tree. The gun was
discharged.
Joseph and Leon Saffron, farmers
and peddlers living in the vicinity of
Richmond, were arrested last week by
the sheriff on the charge of selling
mortgaged property. The men gave
the mortgage seven months ago and
sold the property for $3.50 under the
pretense of being free of incumbrance.
1t is expected the case will be settled
out of court.
Petitions for connecting road be-
tween Lake Henry and Spring Hill
were denied by the county commits
sioners last week on the ground that
the expense must be borne by the two
towns. The commissioners declared
that the law requires townships to
take care Of new road if it includes
an old highway. The proposed Spring
Hill-Lake Henry road takes in four
miles of an old road.
Ernest Allen, depot agent at Elrosa,
has sold his patent rights on a lock
nut to the German government for
$4,000 marks or about $4,000. The
patent is considered valuable one
and has attracted much attention in
the mechanical world since papers
protecting it were procured. Mr.. ALL
en- had several offers for the rights
and it was only after much delibera-
ton that he accepted the German
offer.

Many of the windows of the best
shops are now displaying the real Jap
anese and Chinese garments with their
rich silks and gorgeous colorings. Most
of us, however, are content to admire
these beautiful costumes in the win
dows. No one has yet appeared on
Fifth Avenue arrayed in the true cos
tune from the land of the cherry
blossom. But many have been seen
in costumes showing the Oriental in
fluence, such as the sketch above il

quently used with charming effect, es-
pecially in semi-evening gowns. From
Spain also have come the beautiful
fine lace scarfs or mantillas which are
now fashionable, and the large combs
for the hair which are used with the
couture that is distinctly Spanish.
1t is we'll known that from Russia,
also, we have received a great many
contributions to the styles, not only
in the line of blouses and dresses, but
in the Russian turbans raised high
in front. Some of the turbans are
worn with chin-straps, or "bridles,"
to which veil is often attached.
The Russian blouse dress, with
long blouse reaching to the knee and
falling over a pleated skirt, is one
of the best liked styles of the season.
Sometimes it is made with a high
close-fitting collar, and again, the open
neck with the becoming sailor collar

New York. Dec. Is, 1916.

New York, Dec. rs, 1916.
Cosmopolitan New York grows more
cosmopolitan daily. Even as her doors
are open to those from the most dis
tant parts of the world, so are the
minds of her fashion designers open
to receive ideas from the four corners
of the earth. Whatever may be turn
ed to good account is quickly utilized
and brought before the public for the
world of fashionable women to pass
on. The very latest influence in dress
has come from the far east. Japanese
and Chinese embroideries and like
effects have come in for recognition
and have taken quite an important po-
sition in the world of fashion.
