The public found this out last spring

half-length coats that were slashed at

There were not as many of these
gowns put out by the American de-
signers in the early trade of the sea-
con as by the French, who evidently
are not in the least tired of the one
garment. They have repeated it in
pleasing ways. They make it in thin
and in thick fabrics: they offer 1t as
a coat, on an evening gown and as an
elongated blouse for the house. The
entire movement of French clothes
shows this tunic coming in and out Of
the Aim.
Possibly the one new feature that is
most noticeable about it is the slashing
at the sides. The house of Doeuillet is
credited with having started this move

When it comes to doing things for the
welfare of the peop'e of the Basin you can
not lose the Tennessee Copper Co.
Now, it is proposing to furnish seed Pc,
tatoes, fertilizer, etc.. to anyone who will
undertake to raise an acre. of potatoes,
taking half the cropin payment.
This is done to insure that enough po-
tatoes will be raised to supply he people
of the Basin at a reasonable price. The
company proposes storing its part'ot the
crop and then selling it, next winter. at
reasonable prices.
In this matter, the company is acting in
highly patriotic manner as well as keep
ing in mind the welfare of its employees
and the people generally, and we heartily
commend its foresight and generosity.

contract with the town; town officers
salaries should not exceed the amount
fixed by law.
Our advice to the voters and tax
payers Of the town of Daley would
be: Do not engage in litigation over
the excess orders issued; as we under
stand it the excess orders represent
labor and material expended on roads
and bridges within. the town; if you
engage in litigation it will prove
costly and unsatisfactory, and will not
get you anywhere in the end, besides
you will be litigating your neighbors
who have Endorsed the orders and
much i'll feeling will be engendered
thereby; hereafter vote specific
amounts for road and bridge pur-
poses and for town revenue-for town
revenue the levy cannot exceed two
mills on the dollar, and for road and
bridge purposes not to exceed Is, mills;
and lastly elect town officers who will
honestly and efficiently administer
the affairs of the town.
This is disinterested advice, for the
writer has but slight personal &C
quaintance with only one or two resi-
dents of the town. +, =.

Special to the Union:

Special to the Union:
Camp Cody, Deming, N. M, Sept.
1--we are now getting down to the
regular army routine of hike and drill.
The latter is interesting but the for
mer is a trifle wearisome, owing to the
dust and sand.
The bugle calls us at $3.50 a. M.
every morning except Sunday, when
we sleep until six o'clock. Reveille is
first on the program, and then we get
setting-up exercises for five minutes.
The company street is then policed
and mess follows. At o'clock we
fall in again and drill for two hours.
A two-hour hike follows Immediately.
During the afternoon we have school
for non-coms. and privates.
The bayonet drill is interesting and
the system taught could scarcely be
improved upon. Every offensive
movement swings one into natural
position to assume the defensive. The
soldiers realize that it is to their own
interest to thoroughly master this, as
proficiency may save their lives.
The Third is beyond all doubt the
crack regiment here. Numerically it
is the strongest and the men are in
the pink of condition physically. Yes
terday the Third was examined for
tuberculosis among the men, and the
physicians were surprised to find so
large percentage sound. One of the
doctors asked Lieutenant Hofflander
if the Third was Minnesota's best.
The lieutenant modestly answered in
the affirmative. "Well," the doctor
continued, eff you have any better men
up there would like to see them. This
outfit is fully so percent better than
the regulars that I have examined"
Next week we will get a sanity
test, and later this month we are to
undergo another physical examination.
Some believe that those who pass this
examination will soon be sent across.
wouldn't venture an opinion.
Last Wednesday was the first pay
day in camp, and of course the men
welcomed it. The streets of Deming
have been crowded every evening
since, and occasionally try to imagine
what it will be when the camp is filled.
