Bidding on the New School Buildings,

A large number of bidders gathered
Wednesday to file bids for the new
school buildings which Cresco proposes
to erect, the bidders representing gen.
eral contractors, heating, plumbing and
roofing. Inasmuch as most of the gen.
eral contractors had filed bids variable
with such things as might be added or
omitted by the Board, it is impossible
to give anyfexact figures on the bids at
this writing. The high bid on the gen.
eral contract was $67, 900 for the two
buildings and the lowIbid s5l, 600. The
sum of the low bids on all items Of con-
struction was ST. 900, exclusive of fur
nishings which will cost 81, 900 or more.
We are informed that the Board has
secured short. term option on three
lots just west of the B. F. Davis resi-
dence at price Of $500. s'5. b.
! The Board will probably meet to-day
and arrive at q. decision in regard to
the bids.

the mail from the county treasurer to
the effect that his taxes are overdue.
+ This little change inlthe taxing laws
was adopted by unanimous vote by
both houses of the last legislature and
went into effect on Julyl4th.
+ This. notice to be-, sent through the
mails is in addition to the advertising
! of the. tax list which has always here
tofore been considered sufficient to
prod the delinqusnts into paying their
taxes. But it has been discovered that
such advertisement is often overlooked
(by property owners who have both the
desire and ability to pay their taxes
and occasionally some piece of prop
erty il sold for taxes which the owner
had forgotten Ill about when tax pay
ing time came around. a-...-.....
This law was introduced by Senator
Indy of Henry county, early last ses-
sion. 1t passed the senate on Feb. 10
[ by . vote of 81 to 0 and the house on
March 81 by . vote Of 6S to 0. There
was no debate on the measure and it
went through without much comment
or notice. Nevertheless, tits generally
considered good law and much more
fair to the property owners than under
the old law whose only provision to
property owners that their taxes were
due was by publication sin the news
paper. @.&..a -.
The new law declares in speaking Of
the work of the treasurer in collecting
taxes that ''his efforts to that end
shall include the ending by mail of .
statement to each delinquent taxpayer
not later than the first day of Novem-
ber of each year.
While the law is new to Iowa, its ap-
plication to Howard Countylis not, as
Treasurer White has been making 9
practice of notifying delinquent tax
payers.

State to Punish Hostility to State q
Federal Government.

It is not generally known that the
recent legislature passed a law which
supplements the federal laws in pro-
viding punishment for melting or en-
couraging opposition to the govern
ment Of the State of Iowa on the
United States. r.
Sec. 2, Chapter 81, Acts of the 37th
General Assembly provides: -.
"Any person who shall in public or
private. BY speech. writing, printing or
by any other mode or means advocate
the subversion and destruction by force
Of the Government of the State of
Iowa or Of the United States, or at
tempt by speech, writing, printing or
in any other way whatsoever to incite
or abet, promote or encourage hostility
or opposition to the government of the
State Of Iowa or Of the United States
shall be guilty of misdemeanor and
upon conviction shall be punished by
imprisonment in the county Jail not
less than six months nor more than one
year and shall be fined not less than
three hundred nor more than one thous.
and dollars.
The State Council of Defense is ask
ing for the publication of the above
law, knowing that everywhere there
are violators of this law whom it will
be necessary to bring to account if cer-
tain reasonable utterances and advice
do not cease. In this vicinity, GER
tain misguided individuals, some Of
them not of German birth or blood,
have been reported to the federal of
ficials of this district, and will doubt
less soon receive admonishment to
cease under penalty of punishment
provided by law. Wishes against the
life and safety of the President have
been made, young men summoned in
the draft have been encouraged to
claim exemption on false or trivial
grounds, and have been told that they
cannot be taken out of thei United
States, Misrepresentation made as to
the cause Of the United States for de-
claring war on Germany, all matters
forbidden by both state and national
laws.
Violators offthese laws should cease
at once, for the tolerance and forbear-
ance Of the loyal citizens Of the United
State, has beer strained to the utmost
and Il the Offenders are wise they will
cease to cause further offense, and will
avoid suspicion of so doing by avoiding
congregating in public places and cars
rying on their conversations in the
German language. Now is the time
in this country to speak the English
language, and read the papers printed
in the English language. 2-s

match the prevailing one, or, make
the entire costume of plaid and trim
it with plain white linen or linen to
match one of the coIors of the plaid
as you prefer. Such costume means
very slittle labor for the making and
gives great satisfaction. The linens
and cottons can be Numbered again
and again and they come forth from
the tub new after each cleansing,
therefore, they will be more durable
and represent more general condi-
ton of daintiness than it is possible to
obtain with silks no matter how
attractive they may be. Poplins are
much liked for sports dresses, too,
and you could make this same coat
suit Of white combined with really
bright color as green or blue or rose,
to be very charming. Cotton gabar-
dine is a favorite for frocks of the
tailored order, too, and is to be found
in plain and in stripes and figures.
Linen is always standby, but the
linens this season are exceptionally
attractive. They are shown in a
variety of effects and in very beautiful
colors notwithstanding the disad-
vantages under which the nianufac-
turers are laboring.
The little frock that is shown
trimmed with embroidery is made of
rose-colored linen and the embroidery
is white. 1t is very charming and at
the same time it is durable and will
give service throughout the season.
As matter of course the color can be-
varied indefinitely, but there is some
thing very childlike about rose color
or coral and such pinks are greatly in
vogue. If you do not care for the
banding, you can make the skirt
plain and embroider the collar, the
cuffs and the belt and the front of
the blouse by hand, using simple
design. The very simple embroid-
erles are the preferred ones and any
bit OF hand work will always give
touch Of distinction to a costume.
We never have had such a variety
OF chambries, not alone the familiar
rose and blue, we also have a very

Gingha,n,s are in Favor.

For the Summer there will be a
great many charming gowns of simple
washable materials worn for the morn
ing and indeed during the afternoon
hours for informal occasions and ging-
ham is conspicuous favorite. 1t is
always a pretty material and this year
it is shown in very beautiful colors
and designs. The most fashionable
resorts of the Spring have determined
its vogue. Sports suits combining
the gingham with pongee and of
afternoon gowns that combined with
crepe have been seen, but these simple
ones under discussion today are for
the most part, made entirely of
Bingham with perhaps little contrast
ing material to give color effect and
very generally with white organdie
or linen accessories. collars, cuffs and
the like. Organdie is pronounced
favorite for just such details of dress.
1t is always exquisitely dainty and if
a fine sort is purchased it is durable
and launders well. Perhaps every
reader does not know that the finest
organdie owes its crispness to treat
ment that is given the threads and
which, therefore, does not wash out.
The organdie that grows limp after
the first laundering is rendered crisp
by a treatment that is given after it
is woven and that treatment will not
withstand soap and water, therefore,
it is the fine organdie that is the most
economical and that is the organdie
that should be sought and purchased.
Fine white cotton wolfe and linen are

Fashions Trend and Fancies

IN SPITE of the very vital and i'm
portant matters that are occu-
pying the feminine as we'll as the
masculine mind at the moment, the
question of fashions continue to be of
interest. 1t has been we'll and truly
said that it is important to keep
business as nearly normal as possible
and business only can be kept normal
through the buying public. Economy
must be practiced to some extent, but
we should not push it to an extreme
nor should we hoard. Money must
be kept in circulation, otherwise
there will be lack Of employment for
many and consequent suffering. I'm
doubtedly, we women will want
great many simple garments, but we
also must bear in mind the lessons
that have been taught us by France
and by England and remember that
SO far as the purse allows, the regular
output for clothing must be continued.

HERE never was a time when
the fashions for the younger con-
tingent were more attractive than
they are at this moment. Simple ma
terials are having great vogue.
Bingham is conspicuous favorite
and lawn and batiste and organdie
and muslins of all sorts are extern
sively worn, and, since they are per-
fectly adapted to children, the out
look is an attractive one. There is
a general simplicity in style, too, that
renders the garments childlile. Alto
gether, whether you are considering
costumes to be worn during the hours
OF play or those to be devoted to after
noon occasions, you will find that there
is a very charming and very varied
assortment from which to choose.
For morning and for playtirne, the
simple little frocks that are made in
one-Piece style are apt to be pre-
ferred, and there are some very pretty
ones shown in the illustration. They
can be copied in linen or in poplin
or in gingham and they will be charm
ing whichever you select. The
ginghams of the season are exception
ally beautiful ana they are very much
worn, not alone by children, but also
by the best dressed mothers. But
besides the ginghams there are plain
chambries that are shown in an at
tractive variety of colors and there
Rre really wonderful effects to be OBJ
talned by the use of cotton poDlin.
1t is found in such great variety of
coiors that you can touch white
dress with a bright color to make il
really picturesque, and you can do
many things that once would have
seemed impossible with simple cotton
materials.
For the afternoon frocks, there are
the most charming cotton voilesand
batlstes and muslins and what not
while there are very charming e1nbroid-
cred swiss Inuslins and the fine white
organizes are just the prettiest things
that could be thought Of. When the
girls are old enough to want sports
costumes, they can be made of simple
SILK, but as a very general rule the
cotton and linen fabrics are the better.
There is pretty little coat suit shown
on one of the figures. Here, it is made
tof striped cotton material with a
plain one, but you can use the design
Tor gingham and make most attrac-
tive little costume. Let the skirt
and the trimming be of pretty plaid
an which childlike colors appear and
make the coat of plain material ~
