Social doors, as well as business ones, open more
readily to the stylish woman. Style is winning trait.
It has its foundation in the corset womaDs figure

A beautifully designed corset gives grace to the
figure of the wearer and poor does not.
The designing is the most important feature of
correct Corseting The artistic skill of Mr. L. T. Jen-

try in the fitting before you can possibly
realize its comfort and its style.

EARLY MORNING
 QUAKE NOTED

A sharp shock occurred at BIO o'clock this morning which awakened many citizens, but did no damage ex- cept to few nervous systems.
 There was division of opinion at first as to whether it was from an explosion of dynamite out the line or a quake, but the fact that the noise accompanying the disturbance slight ly preceded the shake proved it's na- ture. The nearest point at which heavy blasting is under way is at Mile 9 and had it been a blast the noise would have followed the shake. At least so say the scientific sharps.

J. s. RADIO HERE WILL BE READY
 BY CHRISTMAS

A letter was received yesterday by Leon Booker, secretary of the Cham Der of Commerce, advising him that the radio station will probably be completed and in operation by Christ mas.
 There is every reason to believe that work will commence on the actual con struction of the plant in the very near future, as a wire was received this morning inQuiring about the cost for transferring cement and other ma terials from the dock to the radio site. And also a request for information relative to sand and gravel in this vicinity and if it is suitable for con crete work. The cost of boarding and lodging about fifteen men near the site was also asked.
 The cablegram asked that the in- formation be wired immediately, so it is apparent that there will not be many more days come to pass before the dirt will be flying at the head of the bay.

An aery shadow departing northwest ward told where he was, but his speed made it impossible for any one else to be where he was at the same time and he was-s-s-d right out of sight into the landscape.
 Marshal Evans figures that Assen- tia spent a chilly evening and fears that two may mean pneumonia for his erstwhile guest. Assentia is a dark complected native with small mustache and thin cheeks. Any one seeing him wandering around bare footed will be doing a kindness by bringing him back to his hotel. He cannot possibly escape as the rail road and points of departure by ship are being watched and life in the oper in his condition will prove far more serious than a vacation at McNeiPs which is the worst that can happen tc him after his call here.
