VARIED STYLES IN COLLARS
Designs Are Many, but the Big Ones
Seem to BE the Most Gen s
orally Favored.

Cape, fichu, sailor, cavalier and Elton
collars are all worn. Fichus have a
v opening, reach to the waistline
back and front and are excessively
trimmed. Cape collars are sheer.
often hand embroidered, with revers
and high-roll effects. High turnovers
with winglike sides starched very stiff
are tailorlike. Stitr linen collars with
cuffs + smart. Pique and linen col.
lars have pointed wings and d high
t~urned-Oyer band with q surah tie.
These ties are used In pretty effects.
One of black surah has a fancy plat.
ed buckle midway, terminating at the
waistlihe with a cluster Of many
loops, with three tiny buttons Just
above.
a large organdie cape collar has
q high-roll back and revers edged
with a tiny lace, the ends Of the re.
vers being knotted with a bunch of
flowers. Capes OF net or batiste, hand
embroidered, are worn with silk OF
wolfe frocks. Net fichus are edged

BIRDS SPOILED GOOD SCHEME
Woman's Ingenious Idea Failed Be-
cause She Was Unable to Take
Them Into Her Condolences.

She planted some young fruit trees
in her back yard last fall. Among
them was q cherry tree, just a little
thing that will consume several years
in it's valiant effort to acquire a rea-
sonable standing in the community.
But it is doing it's best, and already
1t is large enough to attract attention.
A man In the neighborhood has
watched the career of that tree with
much interest, and he mas not lost a
chance to jolly the woman about it.
At least 1000 times, thus far this sea-
son, he has asked her about the tree
and about the prospects for the crop
of cherries. The woman finally de-
cided ito put M over on him. She
would show him that a young cherry
tree could bear a full crop Of fruit the
first year.
She bought q box Of nice, big red
ripe cherries, and tied about twenty
Of them on the tender little limbs of
the cherry tree with thread. When
she had completed the work the tree
doomed up bright and red as an an
archist flag. Then she sent word to
the man, who lived tive doors away,
to come over and see what the tree
had produced.
He was not at home at the time, but
he arrived soon afterward, and he
ambled over to have a look at the
ree. But its branches were as bare
Of cherries as a Mexican desert is OF
Ice water.
Birds had discovered the cherries
and they ..beat him to it" They had
eaten every cherry. The woman does
not know what to do next to convince
the man that q young cherry tree
crows cherries.-IndianapOlis News

dealers on the South st. Paul market,
The Exchange started handling
grain four years ago as an independ-
ent company, W having had a
membership on the Chamber Of Com
merce, and they are today the largest
cooperative grain commission house
In the world, handling millions Of
bushels of grain, and 30 far this year
they have handled twice % much
grain on a poor crop than they did
last year on a good crop. With . rec
ord Of this kind to their credit they
expect to make a success of their ef-
forts to. shorten the route of feeder
cattle from producer to feeders.

for fat stuff that will take every hoof
of cattle, sheep and hogs that are Of
fered.

Eastern trip the cattle statesmen will
be employed. Other members Of the
force have already been engaged.

F. B. Wood Of Deering N. D., has
peen chosen by the officials of the
Equity Cooperative Exchange as
manager of their new Livestock De-
partment in South st. Paul.
Mr.. Wood has been for years 1den-
tilted with farmers organizations IN
North Dakota, and has been a director
Of the Equity Cooperative Exchange
since it's organization.
Since settling at Deering Mr.. Wood
has not been engaged in the livestock
business except as a grower, but prior
to this TIME he had had years OF expe-
rience in buying, selling and shipping
livestock.
Offices have been opened in South
st. Paul and the new department Will
be ready for business on Oct. /. In
view of the fact that the South st.
Paul Live Stock Exchange has refus-
ed a membership to the Equity Coop
erative Exchange, and has also passed
rules which will prevent the specuia-
tors and dealers on this market from
buying feeder cattle from the Ex'
change, Mr.. Wood has gone East to
look up an outlet for this class OF cat
tie.
Before opening for business Mr..
Wood will probably visit Sioux City,
Chicago, Indianapolis, Lancaster and
other points where feeder cattle are
sold. The plan will be to sell this
class of cattle as far as possible di-
rect to the feeders and thus save the
spectators profit, which has in the
past been made between the producers
of feeder cattle and those who pur.
chase them for feeding. There is no
good reason why the feeders of the
Middle West should bn compelled to
buy their feeder cattle from specula,
tors instead of buying them direct
from the producers.
If the farmers Of Minnesota, Iowa,
Illinois and Wisconsin will cooperate
with the farmers Of the Northwest
feeder cattle can be sold direct from
the producer to the feeders with only
one commission, which will mean a
great saving to both.
The leaders of the Equity Co-Opera.

they are going to make a success OF
handling livestock, ever though they
are hovcotted by the SO called regular

WISDOM CAN COME TOO SOON
Grave Error In Allowing Child TO Be
come Acquainted With knowledge
Of the Worlds Troubles.

Many children are made old In wis
dom and knowledge OF the worlds
troubles ere they are advanced enough
to see and understand the reason OF
these crosses, all this trouble and
grief. The consequence, then, Is an
embittered, soured life. They have
known no happy childhood's days; all
are sordid. black and unhappy memo
rfes of what should have been the hap
piest, brightest years OF their life.
Naturally as such q girl grows up
she Is old beyond her years, . regular
little old woman; and, In consequence
the heart Of q young child is not In
her, the games of frolic and innocent
youth are not entered into, not en-.
joyed by her. The games Of other
children of her own age seem frivolous
Ii her eyes; they are not palatable,
her tastes have grown too old, she is
constantly with her elders and her am,
billions lie In the same direction as
theirs.
n mothers and fathers were wise.
they would encourage their children
to remain as children, not make them
old beyond their years. a Cinderella
In every family IS q thing to be de
plored; there should be no particular
slavery amongst brothers. All the chill

be kept In the background because

HOTEL WINDSOR IN
REnODELER'S HANDS
One of JacISsonviIIe's Finest Hotels to
be Made Bigger and Better
than Ever
-Unionl

A force of workmen are busily en-
gagged on the first preliminary work
of remodeling the Windsor hotel into
one of the most palatial tourist resorts
in the state, according to announce
ment made yesterday by Manager ].
E. Kavanaugh. While the present
work is confined mostly to smaller
details on the inside, the carpenters
and laborers win shortly begin re-
modelling of the front of the building,
when the public will be able to
actually see the changes taking place.
Although the Windsor hotel, it is
said, now has the largest number of
rooms of any other Jacksonville hotel,
completion of the contract awarded
short time ago by Robert R. Meyer,
the owner, will add more sleeping
rooms to the establishment besides a
number of novel features to contribute
to the comfort and pleasure of the
winter tourists and the commercial
men and other travellers during the
summer months.
Mr.. Kavanaugh stated last night
that every detail of changes and adj
ditions to be made has not been de-
cided upon by Mr. Meyer and himself.
However, he said that the former
large dining room along the East
Monroe street side of the hotel on the
first floor will be divided into sleep
ing rooms. 1t is also possible that
inside court rooms viii be converted
into sleeping verandas, which viii be
a novel feature and one not now
possessed by any other Jacksonville
hotel.
The management plans to construct
a large airy dining room to replace
the old one. Completed plans will
probably show that this is to be To-
Gated on the front of the building
above the spacious veranda, which
will permit the guests to enjoy break
fast during the winter on the eastern
side of the house, where they may
have full benefits of the morning sun.
Mr.. Meyer expects to spend from
$4,000 to 100000 completing the inn
provements. and the hotel will be
ready in its new dress by the time the
tourists begin coming to Florida in
the late autumn. They will then find
one OF the most attractive and pala-
tial establishments of this kind in the
state.

PRIMARY ELECTION
IS PROCEEDING
Indications are that the Vote Will be
Heavy and Counting the Ballots
Long and Tedious Job
for the Inspectors

The most interesting event today is
the primary election, which is keeping
the courthouse and vicinity thronged
with the candidates and their friends.
Voting has been going on steadily
all day. At 2 o'clock 423 votes had
been polled in precinct No. I, includ-
ing Ocala and surrounding territory,
out of total of 632 qualified voters.
Candidates are hunting the streets,
the grass and the tall timber, and the
chances are that no voter will escape
unless he is as the point of death.
Some of the candidates will be looking
for the tall timber themselves this
time tomorrow.
The ballot is long one, and be-
tween counting and estimates the in
spectors and clerks will have long
and tedious job before them. They are
certain to be at work all night, and
perhaps good part of tomorrow.
The inspectors will count the offices
voted for on the tickets in their order.
The. first will be the county commits
sioners for this district. Senatorial
and gubernatorial candidates will
come next. 1t is likely that the vote
Of the entire county will be known
before that of Ocala. 1t is not likely
that enough will come in from the
rest of the state to establish any
definite results tonight.
