A splendid foundation is given here for a skirt of fashionable appearance. Used as if is, it is exceedingly smart, and the little buttons and pockets at the sides add to it's effectiveness. It takes only q detail here or there to mark skirt as new, but the line and detail that stamp, it as of exacting de- sign are achievements still limited to master hands. A very pretty though simple skirt is shown here. It is a three7piece model with plaits in front. Pockets may be inserted under the ptairs, if desired or fancy patch poe kets are provided. In medium size the design requires yards 44-inch material. Nothing is smarter than broadcloth for the separate skirt this year.

They Will Win Next Time
Opponents are Pleased.


was defeated IN Scott County yester-
day by only Mail margin. With four
small precincts missing, last night, the
vote stood: For the bond issue, 2171;
against it, 1865 votes. 1t required two
thirds of all the votes cast to pass the
proposition. Two-thirds Of the votes
counted, exclusive of the four miss
ing precincts, would be 1857, showing
that the bond issue was defeated by
less than 200.
w. H. Heiserer, the Benton banker,
last night informed The Tribune that
the four missing precincts would not
change the result. These four pre-
cincts will incrtase the opposition
vote, he stated.
The result carried out the predic-
tions made by the leaders opposing
the bond issue. 1t was stated by Mr..
Heiserer of Benton, John Dohogne of
Kelso, and other influential men, who
fought the proposition, that the issue
would fail, but the vote would be close.
In view of the fact that every
newspaper in Scott County supported
the scheme and published only one
side of the question, the victory is a
popular one. Several speakers with
a Statewide reputation visited Scott
County and spoke in behalf of the
bond issue. Among them were Roy
Britton, the Republican candidate for
Lieutenant Governor in the last cam
paign and Secretary McKibbon of the
State Highway Commission.
The county was organized by pre-
cincts by the bond issue supporters,
and the newspapers carried advertise
ments in every issue, urging the peo-
pie to support the bonds.
1t was announced at Benton last
night, however, that the vote for the
proposition was especially pleasing
to the leaders Of the movement, and
another election would be called in the
near future. The promoters now be-
lieve they can induce the people to
support the issue in the event of an
other election.
| On the other hand, the men who
canvassed the county in opposition to
the bond issue, say the proposition
would have been swamped had the or
iginal proposal been voted upon. When
the first election was called, the roads
to be improved did not include high
ways in the northern section of the
county, and the farmers of the upper
half of the county prepared a remon-
STRANGE, signed by 23OO men. When
the farmers appeared before the
County Court with this petition, the
bond issue advocates Withdrew their
request for an election. After re-
arranging the proposed improvement
plans to include roads in the northern
part of the county, the second request
for an election was made.
If another election is called, it is
said, the proposition will provide for
the improvement of roads that would
have been ignored had the bond issue
carried yesterday.

CONGRESS PASSES
FLOODCONTROLBILL
Lower Counties of S. E. Missouri
To Get Allotment of $6,000,-
600 Appropriation.

The Flood Control Bill has been
passed by Congress Congressman Joe
J. Russell informed The Tribune yes
terday, and the authorities of New
Madrid, Pemiscot ano Mississippi
counties may take up their allotments
with the Mississippi River Commits
sion. The bill originally provided for
an appropriation of s45,O0O,O0O to be
expended during the next five years at
the rate Of 100000 a year, but ow-
ing to the enormous war expenses,
the Conference Committee of the Sem
ate and House of Representatives re-
duced the amount to s6,O0O,000 a year.
In his letter to The Tribune Con-
gresham Russell states that he will
renew his fight for the original amount
for the control of the flood water and
is confident that he will win with the
support of other Congressman whose
constituents are vitality interested in
this legislation. Mr.. Russell will bring
the matter before Congress next fall
and will ask that larger amount be
set aside for this flood work.
Congressman RusselPs letter fol-
lows:
81 am glad to inform you that the
House has taken final action upon the
conference report on the Sundry Civil
Bill, which contained the item for the
appropriation for money for carrying
on the work as provided by the Flood
Control Bill. The Senate has placed
the appropriation at $10,000,000, but
the Conference Committee on account
of enormous war expenses cut it to
100000, and while this is not as
much as We hoped to get, I feel that
the interests of the Mississippi VAL
ley will be very well taken care of for
the next year with this appropriation.
The Flood Control Bill, as you re-
member, provides for $45,0O0,0OO to
be expended in five years, or equal to
100000 per year, and had it not
been for the war we would no doubt
have gotten 100000 or $4,000, 900
at this time, but feel very we'll salts
fed with the present result. We will
make a fight for $10,O0O,OO0 at the
regular session next winter, and will
hope to get it.
The conference report was adopted
yesterday evening in the House, and
will be finally adopted by the Senate
today or tomorrow, so that there is
no longer any doubt about the oppro-
priation of $6,000,00O. The author
tiles there can now take up with the
Mississippi River Commission the
allotment in Mississippi, New Madrid
and Pemiscot counties. I am sure
they will be treated fairly, as the idea
has been to complete the levees of the
upper end Of the St. Francois basin
first. If need be, 1 will be glad to
write to the Mississippi River Com
mission, but don't believe now that it
will be necessary for me to do so as
l know their inclination toward my
district.
Yours very truly,
Joe !. Russell.
