More trouble FOR little Herman Hol-
torfer. Iowa City constables
He recently caused something Of a
ripple in police circles by coming to
/ Rock Island. armed to the teeth with a
giant "horse pistol" IN a holster which
was strapped about his 16-inch waist
I line and seeking to put under arrest a
man wanted in his home city for some
trivial offenze The man tore up the
warrant. threw It in the face of the Of
fcer and told him TO beat il. This
made Herman so angry that he went
on a souse. and while celebrating
caused terror in number Of thirst
parIors by careless brandishing Of his
weapon and even threatened to kill an
4 officer at the marine recruiting station
For all Of this bad conduct he was
! fined in police court the sum OF So and
costs and on failure 10 pay, forfeited
his gun q watch chain and a few dol
lars which he had neglected TO spend.
A few days ago the county attorney at
Iowa City wrote q letter TO police here
demanding the immediate return Of
Hermans property but Police Magis-
trate c. J. Smith replied. Nothing do
ing till he pays up his fine"
Today Mayor william McConOchie
received the following letter from an
old soldier at Iowa City who says that
the watch chain which Herman left as
security in the station here is not his
property and seeks its return. Here
is the letter in full:

BELT COMPLETES THE FRoCK
Its Width Varies From One to Twelve
Inches, According to the Individual
Preference.

There is something so trig and salts
factory about the belt of patent leather
that majority of women will be glad
to know its vogue will continue into
the autumn. This is another way Of
saying that the one-piece dress of
serge or of satin will find it's compile
ton in the belt of shiny leather.
The width of the belt will continue
to be a matter of individual regula-
ton. There are some which are not
less than twelve inches and others
which do not measure more than one
inch. Very wide belts are made of soft
leather in colors, and they may be
crushed into any required width when
adjusted to the waist.
Several of the new belts have metal
buckles and others are adorned with
novelty buttons. Then there are a few
which, in addition to the buckle, show
rings on either side drawn together
with cord laces.

MORE LINEN WILL BE USED
Cotton Promises to Become More Ex-
pensiVe as Result of Its Use for
War Purposes.

Every woman should go over her
linen and take stock at least once a
year. She should have some marks
upon the sheets and tableclOths where
by she can tell the date of their pur-
chase, in the opinion of an experienced
housekeeper.
In this way she can tell whether a
certain make is wearing well, whether
it does or does not pay to get the best
quality, and also tell exactly how much
more is needed to replace that which
must be discarded.
Nice linen is expensive, but it has
been found to outwear the cheaper
grades. Furthermore, nice linen be-
speaks refinement in every way.
Incidentally the war has brought
about so many uses for cotton that by
next year linen promises to be less ex-
pensive than cotton.
For this reason we can all revel in
the luxury of sleeping in linen sheets.

purest of linen for our table.
