Old Dayy Skinner. a fisherman on

he ever waste a word.
One summer day he was rowing
along in his boat, when a dory contain

was capsized near him. Naturally
there were screams and wild confu-

rowed over to the scene Of the disas-

Plots. !,
WEIGHS TOW
Documents Seized In Raids, Revealing
Plans to Embarrass Y. s. In
Prosecution Of War, Acted on
BY y. s. Grand Jury.

Washington, Sept. 29.-The federal
grand jury in Chicago has found over
$50 indictments in connection with
the investigation of I. w. w. activities
on evidence secured in the recent fed
eral raids.
The indictments have been drawn
and voted upon. It is understood.
and all that remains is to report them
to the court, which may be done at
any time. ~
The evidence upon which the grand
jury has acted is said to have shown
conspiracies and plots to hamper the
government in its war activities and
to show connection with German
sources.
Nationwide Conspiracy. III
The evidence laid before the grand
jury was of such volume as actually to
weigh a ton or more and is said to
show a nationwide conspiracy to ham.
per the government in almost every
conceivable way, with ramifications
into almost every state.
1t concerned antidraft demonstra-
lions, cripplingcof war industries by
so.called strikes, burning of wheat
fields, burning of timber which tho
government was planning to use for
airplane construction and continu'
Gus anti-Ally and anti-war propaganda.
There was evidence that German
money was rlentifully supplied al
shown in many letters and cancelled
checks. Indications pointed to group
of men as prime movers in the great
conspiracy with a large number OF
agents acting under their orders.
Evidence Secured BY Raids.
The nationwide raid conducted upon
local 1. W. w. headquarters in many
cities by agents Of the department Of
justice on Sept. s disclosed the evil
dence upon which the government pro-
ceeded to act.
One feature which the investigation
brought out sharply was the large,
almost predominating, membership OF
Austrians in the ranks of the I. w.
". local organizations, and also tho
large membership of the various races
which comprise Austria Hungary.
Thousands of these men, unrestrained
because the United States is not at
war with Austria, federal Investigate
ors have found, have been free to
carry on whatever activities were
planned.
Offense Next to. Treason.
It is understood tat the indictments
have been found under. the section OF
the criminal code defining "offenses
against the existence of government"
The offense charged is regarded by
officials as rext g :,-..I..J TO treason
itself and is defined in the criminal
code immediately after the definition
of treason and the punishment thereof.
The penalty is fine OF not more than
$4,000 or Imprisonment for not more
.han six years, or both. 49,.

PLAN OF Two SENATORS
Gore and La Toilette Wanted
Opposition to Revenue Bill.
Started a Nationwide Propaganda
Which Was Revealed by Recip.
tents Of Letters.

Washington, Oct. There has
been revealed to their colleagues and
members of the House an attempt Of
Senators Gore of Oklahoma, and Rob-
ert NJ. La Toilette to stir up nation
wide opposition to the war revenue bill
as passed by the senate.
They sought to utilize the services
of certain county officials in this
propaganda work.
But instead of helping to spread dis
sention over the merits of war
measure many of these officials at
once notified their senators and rep.
resentatives of the activities of Gore
and La Toilette.
"A multigraphed letter dated Sep.
TENDER 1, and bearing the stamped
signature Of these two senators was
mailed at the postofIice here at $3.50
p. M, September II, the day after the
Senate passed the war revenue bill, to
county clerks, presumably in all states.

There were spaces for ten precincts
or thirty names on each blank, or

Washington, Oct. by the an
nouncement of treasury department OF.
ficials opportioning the forthcoming
bond issue by districts, the Ninth fed
eral reserve district, whose financial
center is Minneapolis, is expected to
subscribe $125,QO0,000 to the second
Liberty loan.
The campaign to float the gigantic
loan of $3,OOO,0O0,OO0 will begin tomor-
row. Virtually two-thirds of the loan
is expected to be raised in the New
York, Boston, Cleveland and Chicago
districts, with only half apportioned
to the first three-named districts.
Appointments indicate only what
each district is expected to do and may
be entirely upset, as in the case of tho
first Liberty loan, by the actual sub
scriptions. In making the apportion.
ments, officials used two bases of sub.
scriptions, the minimum of $4,000, O0O,-
600, and an expected amount OF

taken into account, such as the in.
come tax collected from each district,
the assessed value of property therein,
the subscriptions received from each
district to the first Liberty loan, and
the amount Of bonds allotted on such
subscriptions, the capital available
for bond investment In each district
and its population"
Governors of the federal reserve

tributed so largely 70 the success of
the first issue, will work for the sue.
cess of the second.

The Shoes of Paris.

OF course French women are too pre-
occupied. too sad and too serious to
think as much about clothes as usual.
Even Paris has bottled up it's frivolity.
but Partisan femininity still goes well
shod.
With butter 60 or so cents a pound
and eggs 6 cents apiece the careful
French woman still manages to scrape
together $50 for pair of shoes. Not
that all shoes are as high as that, but
the custom made shoe that the Partisan
woman prefers to wear and in the long
run finds most economical, has SCARED
to that price.
And strange to say the French heel
is ne longer the truly French heel
not the heel which Paris regards with
most favor. For the smartest women
are wearing a heel that is of moderate
height.
Whatever fashion prophets have said
in this country about the passing of
millinery" footwear, the reform has
not come about and there is not the
slightest indication that French women
are going to lead the way in this direc-
tion either. For boots are chosen as
much as ever to match or harmonic
with the gown. 1t would take more
than world war to induce the Paris
ian woman to go dull shod, and really
either, for that matter. There is no
more reason why we should conf1ne our
footwear to black and Staid tan and
possible white than there is reasons
why we should put a ban on the color
of the hats we wear.
With navy blue street frocks and
suits-always so smart when worn by
the true Parisian-the favorite sort of
shoe is one of a fairly light navy blue
kid. With a dark brown or green
-1,o Ii6 h
other shades of brown she wears a
light brown suede with gloves to
match. And that idea of having ones
gloves and boots to match is a new
idea that has not as yet made its way
to these shores.
Always black and white boots are
smart in Paris. One~very good model
used for street wear shows white kid
with a toecap of black chevreau glace.
Another less striking model. the orig
inal low-heeled model. by the way. is
of black chevreau glace with black
cloth uppers.

so the leg had just the %chance 1t
needed to mend.
Every day Farmer Browns Boy WIS.,
tied Bobby just as a good doctor should
visit patient, and looked carefully at
the bandaged leg to make sure that it
was as 1t should be. And whenever
Farmer Browns Boy visited Bobby he
took some goody in his pocket to tempt
Bobby's appetite. Just IS II 1t needed
tempting! Bobby would wake up long
enough to eat what had been brought
and then would go to sleep again quite
as If he We're all alone.
AS the weather grew warmer Bobby
grew more wakeful OF course, he had
plenty of time in which to remember
and to think. He membered how
dreadfully frightened he had been
when Farmer Browns Boy had caught
him and brought him to the barn, all
because he had not really known
Farmer Browns Boy. Now everything
was different. SO very, very different. II
was fact, an actual fact, that Bobby
had learned to know the step of Farm
er Browns Boy. and when he heard II
coming his way was 8 tickled as once
he would have been frightened. You
see. Farmer Browns Boy was very,
very good to him and made so much OF
him that 1 am afraid he was quite
spelling Bobby. Kindness had driven
out fear from Bobby's mind, and in its
place had come trust. 1t will do ii
every time If given a chance.

CoIors That Combine.

It is not always the colors that har-
monize that are properly combined in
the clothes women wear. For there is
vast chasm between things that are
smart and things that are pretty, and,
of course, the woman Of fashion cares
very little for mere prettiness. She
must above all else be smart.
For this reason though there are
many colors that would tone Wen
enough with navy blue-this spring as
always one Of the leading colors 1oT
street suits and frocks-there are just
three, or possibly four, colors that are
smartly combined with it. One is green
the bright green than now goes py
the name of Shadow Lawn green, an
other is violet, dark dull violet pref
era bly,, the third is lime and the poss, :
BILE fourth is cherry. Only very little
of these colors should be combined with
the navy blue, facing of the coiiars or
cuffs. buttons or stitching brings IN the
color It is never combined In wholesale
quantities.
With black one must he very careful:
Preferably white should be used ana
remember that nowadays black ana
white never has anything to do with
mourning. Black-and- white comniha-
tons are the antithesis OF mourning
They are as daring and as prliiiant as
any colors could possibly be. Black and
gold are good and so ere black ana
silver in evening clothes. One may
use a deep rich blue or green with
black in evening things-but carefully.
With white one selects the more bril-
liant coIors. The old time combinations
of white and light pink or light blue
was very pfetty-is pretty, still. Tor
that matter-but it is not exactly
smart Only the debutante should at
temnt It For others white should be
combined with such Brilliant colors as
cherry, Shadow Lawn or any other bril-
liant green, brilliant purples, bright
stripes or plaids. bright llme Seilo"-
these are the colors that should be COM

Bobby Coon Is Made Much Of
There's nothing like stomach full
To make the world seem brighter;
To Danish worry, TO drive out fear
And make the heart feel lighter.
BY THoRsToN w. BURGESS.

While Farmer Browns Boy was play
ing doctor and doing his best to fix
Bobby Coon's broken leg SO that it
would heal and be as good as ever poor
BOBBY was wholly in despair, and moth
Ing is more dreadful than to be wholly
in despair. There he was perfectly
helpless. for Farmer Browns Boy had
bound him so that he couldn't move.
To be perfectly helpless is an awful
feeling. You see Bobby couldn't un-
derstand at all what it all meant. If
he could have understood Farmer
Browns Boy it would have been very
different. But he couldn't, and so his
mind was all the time full of dreadful
fear.
When Farmer Browns Boy had
bound that broken leg between two
thin fiat sticks so as to hold it in such
a Eye way that the broken part would be
held firmly in place to heal, he made q
comfortable bed in a deep box out of
which Bobby couldn't possibly climb
with that broken leg. and in this he
put Bobby very gently after taking off
the bands with which he had been
bound to the board while the broken
leg was being fixed. Then he went to
the house and presently returned with
more good things to eat than Bobby
had seen since cold weather began.
These he put in the box with Bobby
and then left him alone.
Now at first Bobby made up his mind
that he wouldn't taste so much as a
crumb. He would starve rather than
live prisoner, which was what he
felt himself to be. But his stomach
was empty. the smell of those good
things tickled his nose. and in spite of
himself he began to nibble. The first
