New York. March 9.-Some women
always look like swinging draperies.
For certain tastes, there is neither
sweep nor line in peg-top and barrel
silhOuettes.
For those who demand a pronounc.
ed feminine grace in their garments,
there are endless variations of plaits
and kits this spring. But for certain
figures probably nothing surpasses
the skirt which is plated from belt to
hem.
The style is especially desirable
this season because the popular broad
striped materials used in this way
are robbed of their bizarre effect.

ROME, Nov. rs. - Italy this winter
has passed from the position Of one Of
the cheapest to one of the dearest war
countries as regards cost Of living.
Speculation in food and clothing and
heating material is generally held re-
sponsible for the very high prices, in
many respects 50 per cent higher than
in France. Wooden goods that last
hummer sold at $3.50 to "a a yard
are now being reinvoiced and sold in
the same stores at S. to $40 a yard.
Women's clothes have been doubled
or trebled in price.
Secondhand furniture Of the most
ordinary quality, particularly beds,
mattresses, carpets, chairs and tables,
sells for the price Of new furniture.
Single wooden mattresses that last
spring sold for $40 each this winter
sell for 500. The price of cotton bed
sheets is So. Eggs that formerly sold
at 3 cents each, now sell for 7 to 8
cents. Butter is rs cents a pound.
Sugar remains at "a cents a pound,
while coffee has gone to so cents a
pound. Ham and bacon have disap-
peared entirely from the market. Dat
meal sells at 80 cents a pound.
Despite the fact that all of Italy il
being denuded of forest timber to turn
into firewood, and that wood has beer
one of the principal freight products
on the railways all the past summer,
coal sells at $40 a ton. Wood sells at
10 cents a pound. Electric light

PARIS, (via London) November Is.
- The soldierly appearance of Amer
lean doctors, of our Medical Officers
Reserve Corps, who may be seen by
the hundreds in London and Paris, has
been often commented upon. They sa-
lutte with practiced snap and flourish.
They stand stiffly as if corseted.
Their bearing is that Of old campaign
ers.
These young doctors try to adjust
themselves so quickly to wartime con
ditions that it is said they make pur-
chases Immediately upon landing Of
British Sam Bovine" belts, now reg
ulation equipment for American Off
GERS, and the patent lighters that the
Tommies and poilus use in the trench
es. II is a fact that the doctors have
exhausted stocks Of these lighters at
many Of the large military outfitting
shops. These lighters consist of a
cord, a bit Of flint, and a roller that
sparks the cord. The length of SER
vice of the doctor may be easily de-
termined by his care in extinguishing
his lighter. A burning pocket soon
teaches him.

of right makes right on the one
side, and right and justice make
right on the other. Our best inform
ed people predict the war will be one
of several years duration; that from
5 to 10 million of our men will have
to go to the trenches to win that to
win more easily is to take a stitch in
time saves nine by helping along all
lines possible. The greatest strug-
gle in u history is at stake. Germa-
ny, Austria, England and France have
tasted defeat in war, but the U. S.
never has. Let's see to it he never

SKINNER ITEMS

SKINNER ITEMS
Hog jowl time is fast approaching.
- The corn crop is being finished as
fast as time and labor permits. -
The labor proposition has grown to
be n of colossal proportions. With
another draft Of our conscripted
youths we scarcely know what well
do for good help. Where there is a
will there's a way is a very fitting
axiom at this particular moment. We
have heard many specls and write
ups about making two blades of grass
grow where one formerly grew, now
the proposition confronts US making
the labor Of one take the place OF two
or more. We have to learn to make
our steps count for double, treble
its former capacity. - John Henry
Berry brought in a ear load Of calves
from Kansas City market Of slightly
over 400 pounds average at $S.15 per
cwt, laid down in Thompson. They
are the evenest, best looking bunch
of calves we've seen in many days.
j. W. Holloway and Elmer Gatewood
shipped a load Of cattle each to the
National last Monday, good enough
to bring near top in their class. 49,
Mord Fox shipped go head of heavy
cattle to the National last week, we
hear and brought around the $l2
mark, which is a very good price in
deed. 49, J. r. Squirting shipped a load
of yearlings to the National recently
which topped the market at $l4 per
cwt. - C. NJ. Berrey had on the mar
ket recently a load of good heavy cat
tie bringing near top Of their class.
- Wheeler Cant has a load of sheep
on the National Monday, good enough
we predict to bring top of their class.

everybody very cordially invited. -
Mrs. j. l.. Carpenter is visiting her
daughter, Miss Florence, in st. Louis
this week. Miss Ruth Carpenter
will depart shortly for San Antonio,
Texas, to spend the winter for her
health. Among the number who have
purchased Overland cars Of late we
mention: John l.. Vim, Jim Burnett,
Chas. Tanner and Harry Day. - j.
II. Hebel purchased a new Chandler's
car lately of the Chree Bros, Of Mex

who were home Sunday on a fur
Tough We mention Baker Barnes, Joe
Nevens, Edward Blaze, Virgil Stuart,
Cauthorn Bros, and Clarence Nichols.
All the boys looked well and had the
nimbleness of a two year old; that's
the way Uncle Sam has treated his
boys. - A very strenuous time in the
history of our nation now at hand;

Uncle Sam out. He needs all the as
sistance available to win over the war

FROM NEW ORLEANS


Mexico Ledger:
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. q, 1917
Gentlemen: Man born Of woman, IS
indeed a creature Of circumstances,
and If he is not man enough to master
the circumstances, be viii certainly be
a circumstance mastered man.
So, / find myself today under new
environments, new fields Of action,
new people, and TO me very new
methods Of business, and all Of these
/ must master, II the change Of my
old Missouri, for the balmy state Of
the Sunny South, is to be long cher
isbed.
New Orleans is more OF a city than
| expected to find in the South. The
good old days Of knowing your neigh
Dor, and cracking corr and telling
jokes around the evening fireside they
tell me are all gone.
With about 100000 people mad in
the rush for gold, New Orleans has
lost the Southern chivalry and that
sweetly accented Southern social ten
dency hat once prevailed to an ex-
treme degree here.
Extended city limits, paved streets,
automobiles and the pace Of modern
times have removed old adjoining fire
sides, and have vacated the old mag
nificent plantation homes, and thu old
stock of Southern hospitable people
have lost themselves in the modern
houses which have lost most Of their
right to be called homes.
So with this disappointment, and
being in the strange attitude Of work
ing for the other fellow, / am here to
master or be mastered.
'HThe poem hangs on the berry bush,
When comes the poets eye,
The whole street is a masquerade
When a Shakespeare passes BY"
Which is to say that we must carry
within ourselves those qualities Of
Light and life and love that viii make
US breathe cut peace and contentment
to others around as, and then it fol-
lows as night the day that we our-
selves vii be satisfied.
And for fear yOu may suspect me
Of being 6EsstiEhed, permit me TO
say that myself and wife are delight
ed with cur temporary new home.

opinion, all striving to DO the will Of

the noble steps recently taken in NOR
al and religious reformation.

Vzncd steps toward reformation,

We a attain into it. if like Whit
man we this hour ordain ourselyeys

is the great underlying, never dying
fact Of the fullness Of ont, however
TO live and to do. When coupled with
that divine power that is always try
ing to get into US from the infinite
Father Of us all. If We will, this in
finite source Of love and life will
create within US the proper quantity

sure final development of this old
earth into a peace fitted to bangle in

loneliness.
