From the Tabor Inde pendent.

Last week was destined to cre-
ate an epoch in the history of Ia.
Dor, that is to say. tho electric
lights were turned on all streets.
From now on we may expect a to-
tally different appearance of our
streets in the evenings. All of the
outdoor wiring is completed and
work is being rushed in connecting
residences with the main wires. 1t
would be to the interest of all to
have their residences wired so that
the plant is put on a self paying
basis.

ther nobody paid him any attention or

who must attend to the more serious
business of seeing to it that her elders
are properly hated, and it is not diff
cult to come to a decision in choosing
a hat for her. In shapes those that
resemble little bonnets have all the
preference. Many of them have round
crowns and narrow brims and as many
more are bell-shaped, but, for the very
little girl, there is nc great variety in
shapes.
OF the two hats shown in the picture
the one at the top is designed for a
child Of three or more years and the
lower hat for the little miss Of v

shape is covered with silk in a light
color as a foundation for the rows of

rosettes, made Of the plated lace, are
placed with the edge Of one overlap

ribbon is run through the center of the
rosettes and finished with bows at the
back and front.

that the home milliner can make with

%cHiLpREN's CIRCUS

"This way to the big show" some
children were shouting. Come right
along" they said. "This is the way to
see all the wonders of the age. Look
at the Frog-Child, the Snake-Lady, the
Toad-Man, the Turtle Babies"
All the children went in the direction
from which the shouts and orders were
given.
The children who were shouting
were very much excited. Admission
to the show, ten cents" they kept say
ing. Its the most wonderful show
in the world"
There We're n dozen children giving
q play-circus which was supposed to be
very much like Il real one They had
asked all their friends and the money
they received was to go to n children's
ward in q hospital. Everyone of their
friends came and soon the circus be-
gan. First of all there was q long
parade while some Of the children beat
drums and others played tunes on
combs covered with tissue paper.
Two little girls rode ponies and on
the heads Of the ponies sat two mon
keys made Of cloth! They had bead
eyes!
A boy did a lot of fine tricks on q
rocking horse, and there were all the
usual circus tricks, although perhaps
not some of the more difficult ones.
After a little while a boy came out
on the platform and said,
Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and
Girls, Cats and Dogs, we have now to
offer a fine perfOrmance-a side show.
We have shown you the regular acts
of the circus and we trust that you are
pleased" Here followed a great deal
Of clapping and shouting.
"And," the boy continued, 1--WE are
now to have the great privilege Of see
ing the Frog-Child, the Snake-Lady, the

each other. What surprises they were
getting!
When they were inside the tent how
they did laugh! One Of the children
was in Il green suit just as Mr.. Frog
would wear and really looking quite
a good deal like a grandson of Grandpa

as she said this she swallowed q tiny

II am the Toad-Man, come and see
me-" grunted the Toad-or the child
who was dressed like one.
"We are the Turtle Babies. We
snap, we play, we draw in our heads
under u shells!" And u enough
they were doing all these tricks.
Their costumes were really quite
wonderful, although they had been
made mostly out of paper.
All the children who were looking ON
were quite delighted and said,
"We think you r marvelous!" And
made bows and said thank you in
voices that sounded a great deal like
the voices Of snakes, toads, frogs and
turtles.
But just then Grandpa Frog was
waking up and his swamp was very
near the spot where the circus was be-
ing given.
"What!' he exclaimed. "Have any
Of the children dared to get up before
I said they could? It's spring when I
get up. Then the winter is over-but
not before" he hurried to the spot
where he heard the frog sounds and
there saw the children all trying to
hop around and talk like he did.
"Ah," he said proudly, putting on hts
spectacles for he had had his eyes
closed so long, "they can't help but
admire me-" and he woke up the other
frogs, while the toads, turtles and
snakes seemed to wake up at just about
the ame time. All but the snakes hur-
ried to the circus to see what was hap
pening. The snakes were too busy at
once trying to see about their ne"
spring suits but the rest of the crea-
lures came who had been copied, and
they all thought it a great honor to
show them at their waking-up time.

Our great need for fuel begins at the time when the
oemshds on northwestern transportation for other pur-
poses are .ns heaviest. The great grain crop is In full
now eastward. Terminals are crowded with oars which
cannotsne un1oaded for days, often not for weeks. Local
dealers. as a rule. are not provided with sunicient stor-
age room TO take care of more than q small fraction Of
tnetr trade. One reason is that the building Of the great
structures which would be necessary is too costly. and
another 10 that to use this storage would involve double
handling. for which, of course, the customer must pay,
me consequences is that the bulk Of the coal needed in
ais section 10 shipped in from day to day, az current
needs develop. ~
When all the conditions are right this works quite
we'll. The dealer aims to keep his orders q few days
ahead OF his demand. Cars are spotted in the yards az
they arrive, and from them the coal is delivered direct
10 the consumer. But when obstacles to the free move
ment OF cars arise there Is apt to be trouble. A tsmpor-
airy car shortage. a big snow storm. a strike, any one Of
a score OF things may occur to delay shipments, ana then
multltudes OF people are brought face to face with a fuel
anime. This has actually happened many times While
the shortages have been local in the past, and therefore
1t has been possible to relieve them somewhat quickly, 1t
Is quite possible in any winter to have practically our
entire population actually suffering for fuel in the midst
Of bitter cold weather.
One way to minimize this danger 10 for consumers.
as generally rs possible, to lay in their fuel stocks during
the summer months when the demands on transporta-
ton are less pressing than they become later in the sea-
son. Not all consumers have storage facilities for a
whole winters fuel. and very many individuals hack the
funds with which to. buy an entire seasons supply at one
time. But there are many who have both the storage
and the funds. And it seems clear that considerations
of their own convenience and Of the public welfare alike
demand that these should be used in suoh a wav as to
relieve the situation later on. '~
Public bodies especially are able to help in this mat
ter: City councils, village boards. county commissioners.
school boards. educational institutions and many other
public or quast-public bodies are able to provide both
storage facilities and funds during the early summer
month"; for their whole winters supply Of fuel. II all of
them would adopt this course a vast coal tonnage would
be taken care Of before winter arrives. and the demands
then would be restricted to those for the small conspn-
es. which could easily be cared for.
To make provision Of this kind is not to engage in
hystercal boarding. 1t is merely TO provide in time for
known needs. and to do 1t in such q way that a danger
Gus situation may be averted.
