The Palm Beach Suit.

The Palm Beach suit is substi-
tute for real clothes which men wear
in place of kimono. There are a
great many men who could wear a
eflowing kimono with excellent
effect, owing to being constructed on
the solid architec+ ural lines of the
standpipe, but there is only now and
then man who can climb into Palm
Beach suit and look as if he knew
whether he was going north or south.
The Palm Beach suit derived it's
inspiration from one Of the greatest
utilities ever draped upon the male
physique-the linen pant. This
article, as worn until recent years
was made out of a discarded gunny
sack and was almost as porous as a
deep sea sponge. When worn in con-
nection with short seersucker coat
it gave to fat man an air of dignity
which no other garment has ever
been able to initiate, but when strung
around lean, cadaverous citizen it
impaired to him a lugubrious. and
crestfallen look. Nobody who wants
to be in style nowadays wears the
linen pant, and it has declined in
popularity farther than a patent med
icine which has quit advertising.
The Palm Beach suit came into be-
ing along with the discovery that
business men could take month S
vacation every summer without ush-
ering in Gabriel's foot. 1t is thin
form of raiment, worn on the outside
and is fastened firmly to the hips of
the wearer by belt. The Palm Beach
suit would create more respect if it
were held up by suspenders, thus pre-
venting that alarming list to the STAR
board which arouses SO much conster-
nation at our summer resorts. 1t is
a proof of mans stubborn nature that
the fewer hips he has the more de-
termined he is to wear a pair of bag
gy, underslung pants which have to
be yanked back into place ever and
anon with nervous hand
Originally, the Palm Beach suit
was sign of aristocratic birth and
blue blood, being donned mainly by
men who could afford to flutter
around the golf links and make love
to all with whom they come in con-
tact. This is all changed now. Base
imitators have produced Palm
Beach suit which will fit anything
from a featherweight to a monolith
and which retails at $6.75. Thus in
every village is to be found the proud
possessor of one of these Senatorial
shocks, moving serenely among his
fellow men with composed mien and
bullying hips.-Howard Ram.

Sad Auto Accident.

Last Friday evening Paul Jones
drove down to his parents home and
asked his mother if she did not want
to take an automobile ride. She re-
piled that she did not have time to
go far and would just stand on the
running board. After proceeding a
short distance she thought, or this
seems to be the opinion OF those
knowing the facts, that the machine
was getting beyond Paul's control,
and stepping off was thrown in such
a manner as to strike her temple
she died about six o'clock the next
morning. This is certainly hard
blow to the family, and for that mat
ter, the entire neighborhood, as Mrs.
Jones was woman of sterling worth
and will be sadly missed by a large
number of neighboring friends as
we'll as the immediate family.
Minnie Inez Denham was born Jan.
81, 1865, at Hopeville, Iowa, and
died at her home in Westerville, Iowa,
July 1, 1916, aged 81 years, 5
months and 10 days.
She was married to James T. Jones
on Jan. z, 1885, and to this union
were born 10 children, three sons and
seven daughters, eight of whom still
survive her. One son and one daugh-
ter died in infancy.
Deceased was kind loving wife
and mother, respected and loved in
her home and community. Her hus-
band, family, relatives and large
circle of friends and neighbOrs mourn
her death.-Grand River Local.

Public Schools and Farm Life.

superintendent Peterson OF the Loomls pub
lie schools writes TO The Bee most illuminat-
ing contribution on the relations between farm
life and the public schools. He touches immedi-
ately on the most vital factor in the problem of
rural development. Social growth on the farm
or in rural communities Is In direct ratio TO
the school service. This is OF first importance,
because Of the fundamental influence OF the
training gained at school in fixing the bent OF
the mind to the city or to the farm. Superin-
tendent Peterson is right in his conclusion that
the teacher is the pivot on which this determine
tion turns.
This presents a condition that embraces
practically the entire scope OF the public school,
ard, therefore, is not to be Immediately settled
1t should be carefully studied, that responsi-
bility for deficiency be located and the remedy
applied. elementary education should go a
little beyond installation OF rudimentary knowl-
edge, and should open up the child's mind that

Which Way Looks Besti

movement has been inaugurated 10 sub
init by initiative procedure at the coming cleo
ton the question OF ordering constitutional
convention called in Nebraska. The affirmative
vote-if Il be affirmatve-will have to be fol-
lowed by enactment by the Legislature of law
making provision for the convention. and then
later by an election OF members Of the conven-
tion and still later by submission TO popular
vote OF whatever new constitution OF amend
ments to the present constitution may be agreed
upon by the convention, and the whole thing, In
the end subject to rejection.
No one contends that our state constitution
is anywhere near perfection and yet II has stood
the test OF years and change toleraby we'll and
with the door open ali the time to amendment
by popular initiative, It cannot possibly block
the way to any reform the people really want,
to say nothing OF the invaluable rights guaran-
teed to us which we would not want leopard
ized. Where this document most needs bring
ing up to date is in the unnecessary null
tiplioation OF elective officers and in the made
ouate salaries provided for positions calling for
ability and responsibility. Revision in the
direction Of a short ballot and a new salary
schedule would give us a state government
under the present constitution equal to all re-
qurements. These few changes could be ef
fected, practically without opposition by one
vote making them Immediately operative; on
the other hand, a constitutional convention sub
m'tting a long list OF radical innovations, all at
one time, would cost all kinds of money,
sumo great deal OF time and evoke contention,
sure TO throw the whole result in doubt.

Anti.Nayy Case wen Stated.

correspondent, who hides his identity be-
hind initials. has very completely summed up
the case for the anti-navy forces. He says the
big navy will be used to support big merchant
marine. In turn big merchant marine will be
used 10 export materials that might be used at
home. and to import materials that might be
produced at home. Also, Il means a war within
fifty or sixty years. The postulAte is that we
abandon all plans for naval expansion, and by
degrees approach the state of splendid isola-
tion," in which we found Japan some sixty years
ago. We might. by close application OF this
correspondents notion, even attain TO that
sublime state OF seclusion and exclusiveness in
which Korea rejoiced. Just before the Hermit
Kingdom was made vassal OF Japan. II is
passing strange that in this day OF action men
OF intelligence can entertain. let alone express
the debilitating ideas advanced by this anony-
NOUS writer.
