LOWDEN PLEADS FOR WORKERS
TO RAISE GREAT CROPS
Springfield. April 1T.-IlinOis, &C
COrding to a proclamation issued by
Gov. Lowden, may, by its corn, save
America from a shortage of food nu-
triments during next winters war
time, if there is still war then.
LOwden pleads for a 100 per cent
corn crop for Illinois, every acre
planted and every acre producing its
maximum bushels. To gain this
there must be greater care in seIec-
ton and screening of seed corn and
there must be volunteers thou
sands - ready to work through the
summer behind the plOw.
Country schools will excuse every
child over IA years of age from stud
les that they may aid in planting, and
with no loss of credits in school
standing.
The governor pleads for intensive

WAR IS RELAXATION FROM
RELIGION" SAYS FOSTER

Prof. George Burman Foster Of the
Univ. of Chicago says the war is a
relaxation from religion, the old re-
laxations, such as cabareting and
dancing, having lost their punch.
This was the view he took in a
speech delivered before the Chicago
RabbinicaI assn Sunday evening. He
said:
'Modernity has proclaimed the
church a dead issue.
Baseball will be the favOTite relig-
ious expression for the next six
months. The world continually seeks
substitutes for religion, things that
will do in modern times what the old
religion did in historic times.
Religion is intTinsically a relaXa-
ton from moral OveTstrain. The pc
Rod around 1917 will go now through
history as the neurasthenic age, and
well it should"

The New Tunic Dress.

The tunic gives such lovely long lines to the shortest figure, that one can easily understand why it is so popular. Then, too, the tunic dress can so readily be made of two mate. rials and contrasting colors, and so presents many possibilities for the home dressmaker as well as for the professional. The shaped tunic is very new; the one illustrated here shows how graceful is the effect ob- tained when it is longer on one side than the other. Fur, long or short haired, is used a great deal on these dresses. There is something fascinat- ing about the contrast of the rich fur and the simple material. The wide crush belt, the surplice collor, and the tight sleeves are all features well worth studying.

There are creations, marvellous gowns, furs and coats, to be seeh, but about each, there is subdued ele- gance of good taste. Under the gla. mour of these snappy days, one can see the ever-present feeling of the SC. riousness of the war. We simply can not dress inappropriately when these happy-go-lucky youngsters in khaki throng our streets and act as our es- corts to places of amusement.
 The Battle of the Bustle.
 There is restraint about every thing, from the sleeves, which are long and tight in street costumes, to the skirts, which are narrower than last year, and which promise to be longer. There is one important ques- tion which has not yet been settled. A fierce battle is waging between two factions, for the hustle and against it. After all, it is up to the women them selves, in the end, and only they can decide whether style is "to be or not to be-" Fashion authorities may launch a mode, but if the women won't wear it--it dies, and something else quickly takes it place.
 The Dress and the Suit.
 At present, indication are that the dress and coat will be more popular for street wear than the coat and suit. This is a rule that is easily set aside, and there will be many suits worn this year. Indeed, it is an American costume, and the American woman al- ways feels that there are occasions when only a coat should be worn. However, dresses to be worn on the street without coat, these first cool days, are holding the center of the stage. Blue serge leads, as it always does, but tricotine, gaberdine and wool jerseys, as we'll as the heavier woolen materials in various colors and combi nations of colors, are equally smart.
 The Tie-On Waist and the
 Straight Skirt.
 The illustration shows ones of the many clever designs for the tie-on blouse. The surplice line is so gen erously becoming that l, for one, am glad to see that is continues to be fashion favorite. The panel effect in front, with it's braiding design, is another feature. This dress was de- veloped in blue serbe, with the collar and braiding in beige color. At first glance, one sees the simplicity of the costume, an effect gained by the ab- sence of trimming. A dress of this type is equally suitable for morning afternoon.
 Buttons and Tassels.
 The day of the button seems to have arrived to stay. They are of every shape and color, and in many cases are the sole trimming on trim tai iored frock. They also crop out ill unexpected places. We naturally look for them on the fronts of coats, dresses and waists; sleeves, too, and even collars have been devotees of the button for some seasons. Now, though, they have taken new strong holds. Up and down the back they travel, around the hems of conspicu- ous skirts, and across the shoulder and down the sleeve. When they match the color of the costume, they are smart; when they are of contrast ing shade, they are smart; when they are round, square or oblong, they are equally smart. Indeed, one is tempt ed to say that this fall they are the

Holland is experiencing some of tha ups and downs of glass production. The war has interferred with that in- dustry. Before the war, the Ameri- can glass producer was having simi- lar troubles, due to the Democratic tariff law, which gave the Hollander an advantage in our market.

 CONTOINUES IN FAVOR

Ney York, Fifth Avenue-and Oct ober! Could there be a more glo rious combination? The very air is charged with magic. As we walk briskly along that wonderful thor oughfare, We view with kindly eyes the passing throng, seeing all the at- fractions and the human failings that are a part of this kaleidoscope scene, happy in their happiness and glad that they, too, are alive. A we'll dressed crowd is always study in psychology. Here we can trace the influence of passing events in the na- tion's affairs; for the times, and the spirit of the times, are clearly re

NEVADA PREPARED TO
MOBOLIZE RESOURCES

Nevada will be prepared to mo-
bilize all her resources in case she
is called upon to aid the government
through the use of her mills and
other industrial organizations dur
ing the war. The plan of mobiliza-
ton and an inventory of all the re-
sources of the State mas Deen worked
out in preparation for any call that
may come. says the Reno Gazette.
Just how much the State can help
has not been given out, but the way
in which it will help was explained
to the members of the Reno Rotary
club yesterday by Dean j. G. Seru-
CHAM of the university, who is as
sisting in the work of organization.
Dean Scrugham gave an interest
ing and instructive talk TO the Ro-
tarians, taking up every phase of the
conditions of the State and laying
special stress on the industrial org
anizations.

ELK0 TO BUILD ROAD
FROM WELLS TO WENDOyER

The board OF highway commission
ers yesterday decided to build a new
county road from Wells to Wendover
to connect with the Lincoln High
way coming around the south end of
the lake from Salt Lake City, says
the Elko Free Press. They have
sent the county tractor to do the
work and it is estimated that the
work will take about ten days. This
will give the transeontinental cars
a good road from Wendover to the
Overland Trail at Wells, and the ma
jority of the travel this year will be
by the northern route. The new
tractor bought by the county this
spring is doing great work and this
is one place where the money spent
by the commissioners was we'll in
vested.

W|NCF|ELD is CONSIDERING
BUILDING OF new HOTEL
Problem Confronting Him is Proyid-
ing Sufficient Revenues to War;
rant Construction at this Time

-
George Wingfeld came down from
Reno last Thursday and spent three
or four days in looking over his yari-
ed interests in Churchill county.
Speaking of the possibility of the
erection of a new modern hotel on
the site owned by him opposite the
courthouse during the coming sum-
mer, Mr.. Wingfield said that he full
ly appreciated the necessity that ex-
listed for a first-class hostelry in
keeping with the growing Importance
of the town. He was desirous of
erecting a three-story building con-
tanning about one-hundred rooms.
However, an investment of this mag
nitude required careful checking up
for sufficient revenue to warrant the
investment. His investigations and
experiences in hotel property had
demonstrated to him that at least
one-third of the actual revenues of
a hotel are derived from the bar and
in view of the possibility of the State
going dry two years hence or even
earlier by government action, in con-
nection with the prevailing rising
cost of building materials and scare
ity of labor made construction work
at this time exceedingly venture
some.
However, he stated that he had
received offers for the entire lower
floor of the proposed building from
large department store concern,
which. if the deal can be closed might
possibly result in the building being
erected during the coming year.
Mr.. Wingf1eld is gratified with the
general outlook in the valley and was
especially interested in the sugar
beet outlook. He gave out the in
formation that the Churchill County
bank. of which he is president and
majority owner, would assist bee,
growers by loaning money on crops
at a very low rate of interest.
