ASK YOURSELF
THESE QUESTIONS.
What can / do for my town.

What can I do for my town.
What service can I render to the
community in which | live aside
from that which is strictly selfish
and personals
Do l have a right to- enjoy the com
munity benefits without rendering
community service?
What is the difference between the
man who drives five miles and the
one who walks five blocks to trade
with me7
Is not the man with 100000 in vest
ed in land and from $1,000 to 10000
invested in machinery, stock, etc, as
much of a business man as the one
with from $4,000 to $4,000 invested III
q store and stock and fixtures.
Why say Farmer and Business Man
Why not say Farmer and Merchant -
Why not make that farmer friend
Of ours feel his importance as a unit
in the community!
Why not get acquainted with your
neighbor! You might like him.
Why do the merchants of t! :, town
let the mail order houses If Chicago,
st. Louis and Minneapolis take largr
quantities of trade away from mere
every day?
Why, if a farmer is in the trade ter
ritory of this town. is he not q citizen
of this town!
Why not get acquainted 0;th my
customers and prospective customers
right here in this community!
Why not say "What are We follows
going to do instead of "What are
you fellows going to dot"
Why not train the farmers and The
townspeople Of this locality to say,
"This is my town and it's the best
town on earthi'
Why, when people come into your
store, talk to them about the things
you are interested in! Why not find
out what they are interested in and
| talk to them about that2
Why allow customers to wait five or
two or even one minute, for a clerk to
recognize the fact that they are in
the storel
Why allow the women of your town
think that they have to send away for
their children's clothing' People
should know that it is not necessary.
If it is necessary, something is wrong
with your methods of supplying the
requisite stock of goods.
How have you shown the citizens
of your town that you really want to
be neighborly with themi How far
have you gone out of the way to show
the women and children of your com
munity that you appreciate their
presence in your town and in your
store2
How many minutes have you spent
each day In sober thought, away from
the details OF your business on chow
to bring in more tradei
Have you ever stopped to think
that you are a part Of the local com
munity and should take part in its
activitiesi
Do you know that you can master
the situation in your home townl
What service can 1 render the com.
munity in which I live aside from that
which is strictly personal and selfish 2

summer frocks. Cream, ecru and white
laces and nets are received with equal
enthusiasm. Over pale-colored slips of
China silk or over the same net, these
dresses are most fascinating. Very pale
pink is particularly charming under
cream or ecru, which is one of the com
binations most frequently seen.
The all-white net dresses trimmed
with batiste embroidery banding are
also very delightful, but this is only
one of the many combinations used.
There are many frocks Of net in which
organdy plays an important part. Some
Of these are made In apron effect with
embroidered organdy forming the long
apron which sometimes extends consid-
erably below the knees. The apron
style Is now very much in vogue and is
decidedly attractive in iaces and sheere
materials. In some Of its variations,
il Is more like long, loose panel than
an apron.

The tendency to da away with a thor,
oughly defined waistline is still promi-
nent In new styles, and this feature
persists while the texture of the dresses
is being changed from the heavier ma
teriala of spring to the sheer cottons
and nets Of summer. The long, un-
broken lines that women have found So
becoming are noticed | nthe dress Of

The cape-Coat.
A very popular wrap for SUMMER IS
the cape-coat, some varieties of which
are made without back or sleeves The
cape is usually the same length as the
coat though sometimes it is longer.
These eapes are seen everywhere, and
the inevitable navy-blue serge or gabar-
dine is usually the material chosen for
them 1t is in the material chosen for

chance for variety. Some of the
capes are lined with white or cream

color as the cape OF brightly con.

the large white polka dots which has
been so much in evidence since the
spring is very frequently employed for

large in most eases. In sJnie models
they are gathered in front and arc very
pretty in soft, striped or plaid silk. In
satin or heavy silk poplin these wraps
are ideal for sunme- nee.

GUARD To GO

WASHINGTON. June 2s.-Shift-
ing its original plans. the war de-
partment announced this morning
that instead OF holding National
guard troops in their home quarters
in the north after they are called
out, they will be sent directly TO
southern camps. Calls had been ar
ranged for July Is and % and Aug.
3. but II may be necessary 20 make
general call for Aug. 8.
The reason for the possible de
Jay until Aug. 3, is that officers are
rated for rank according to the &C
tual time they are in service. Hence
some OF the officers coming in July
10. for instance, would have oppor
tunity to get higher rank than equal
ly efficient officers called later

The chief and most able member OF

General Pershing. He puts the drive
in the army. His inspections are
masterpieces of thoroughness and he
Is exceedingly stern with all ineffi
clients, whether they are officers or
soldiers. Slouchy bearing annoys him
fearfully and he takes an active and
penetrating interest In shoes, buttons
and bright metal. He Is exceedingly
chary of praise. Probably nobody In

father to his men.

VANITY CASES FOR NURSES
Red Cross lassies Going to France
May Beauty Themselves to
Hearts Content.

New York.-Red Cross nurses going
to France to do their bit, as arduous as
the soldier In the trenches, are not
being forgotten In the distribution Of
small bundles of comfort" The army
and navy field comfort committee Is
planning 10000 special vanity" cases

will be contained in the cases are:
One bottle toilet water.
One cake toilet soap.
One box talcum powder.
One tube dental paste,
One tube toilet cream.
One vanity box, with mirror, etc,
Though the retail value of the cases
would almost double the amount, the
nurses boxes are packed at a cost Of
one dollar.
