The fifth annual Chester White bred
SOW sale of John r. Hoist, Jr. was held
yesterday afternoon at Laub's sale
pavilion and drew large number OF
buyers, not only fronf7this locality, but
many of the prominent breeders Of
this strain were present from a dis
lance. Mr.. Holst's herd is well known
to the Chester White breeders of the
corn belt and the fact that the AZ
head sold yesterday averaged $67.15
goes to show that his efforts as q
breeder are appreciated. The AZ head
sold for total of $3.50. At his sale
last year the average was $3.50, while
in 1915 his Offering averaged $4,000
head, showing nice gain straight
through. 49,. ..5.. .-.- =

a few years ago only few Chester

were exhibited than any other breed.
The sale was topped by Lady Select,
a fine individual, which was purchas-
ed by Mr.. P. T. Finn, OF Denison, who
paid $1O7 for her. She is a daughter

to Bother About New Styles. ~
FACE TWO

Just as the girls Of the various
towns and provinces of Holland are |
to be distinguished by the peculiar
form Of their quaint headdressss, SC
the girls Of Sandman villages are
known by the combination of colors
in their costumes. The women and
children dress alike = full skirts,
usually dark red; white waists with
full sleeves and short bright red or
bright blue jackets, open in front
or laced around the waist. In some
I. districts the pattern Of the apron
isSthe distinctive feature.
The styles never change among
the women of Sardinia, who wear
the native costume; SO it repays the
seamstress, the weaver and the en-
hsoidery expert to make garments
that will last lifetime and can
then be handed down as heirlooms
for rising generations. =.
Large white sleeves beneath the
slashed sleeves Of his jacket, a full,
short, bright colored skirt and close
fitting white trousers tucked into
high boots sor leggings constitute
the typical attire Of the men. In
some districts of the island the
men wear pointed cap resembling
. Phrygian bonnet, long and mar
row. like a stocking, reaching almost
to the waist. This point either is
worn down over the shoulders or
folded on top of the head and may
BE- used as a pillow at night. It is
apt to contain anything from bread
to snuff, which is indispensable to
the older men. A queer custom Of
some of the younger men is to let
the hair on top of their heads grow
often to fifteen inches in length.
md then roll it up into apuff, which

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN.

Washington looked at Smith
and wondered. Individuals who
came into contact with him were
astounded by his unfailing, mex
haustible energy. The city as a
whole, seeing the results Of his la
bors, was astonished. Nothing like
it had ever been done before. The
only thing approaching it had
been the Inauguration Of a presi-
dent, when the combined efforts of
a tremendous committee of citi-
zens and the machinery Of the
United States army and the ma
tional guard had achieved the de-
sired results. Here, however, was
an individual from whose brain
emanated all the details of a mon
ster movement and meeting. Here
was a man whose gifts were such
that he could keep his hand on the
slightest and smallest affairs that
built up and completed the perfect
whole. His assistants were many.
The popularity Of his cause raised
up regiments of helpers, men and
women, but his was the command
ing voice, the controlling mind.
Much has been written and said
about the Washington atmos-
(phere," its popularity, it's mys-
terry, its difference from the rest
of the country. People have looked
at the diplomatic corps and said
All, that makes the atmosphere
of the city-the great brains, the
mysterious men, the brilliant
women! Some have looked at
congress and said: THAT is the
atmosphere Of the capitalize
great men, the leaders in politics,
the students Of human nature!''
Others have been impressed by the
official functions, the carriages
and automobiles banked in street
or avenue, the high officials, and
said: THAT is the popularity Of
Washington-the rulers Of the ma
ton in brilliant display and ami
mated recreation, q unique soci-
etyl' The truth about the matter
is that Washington is like any
other American city, except FOR
the fact that it is q residential

That's the modern idea replied the
orator. "The time has come when the
love of peace must be supplied with
such defensive armament as sharp
claws and a falcons beak."

he opened them the picturelike

his face.

said, the note of reverence in his
words.
John Smith was profoundly
moved. He stood up and took one
of the bishops slender hands in

lous, "you will lead the prayers

One day an old country dame went
to visit her son, who was a medical
student in a large college. While she
was waiting at the door a young man
wearing a white coat and apron came
out. Going forward to him, she asked

Smith sprang to his feet.
Why, bishop he said, stating
! self evident proposition with
the enthusiasm that always was il
him, there must be prayer! The
opposition to whisky was born il

fostered in the prayers of women
has gained its full strength from
the prayers Of women. 1t is the
women who really know how to
pray. 1t is particularly the
women who know how to pray fol
the success of this movement.
That il why, at the crucial mo-
ment, such a gathering, in which
women will predominant, should
be led in prayer. You may say
that this is a political thing, that
there may be in the crowd those
who are irreligious or indifferent

Accidents Postpone
Wedding Is Years

Denver, Col, Feb. II. - Fifteen
years ago. when she was a young girl,
Miss Blanche NJ. Fownes, of st. John,
New Brunswick, visited her uncle and
aunt, Mr.. and Mrs. o. w. Keith, in
Denver. Here she met Ben w. Nc
Closkey, a young mining man just
setting out for Arizona on his chosen
career.
They fell in love and it was ar
ranged that they would be married
when the prospective bride grew up
and when the young mining man had
made his strike. Unforeseen events
were to befall, destined to postpone
the wedding.
After her visit to Denver the girl
went to India with her parents. They
lived there number of years. Mean
time she and McCloskey corresponded
regularly. Just as they were consid-
ering a wedding date, Miss Fownes's
father and her little brother set sail
on one of Captain Fownes' ships.
They were wrecked on a tropical ISL
and in the South Seas. The brother
was drowned. The father and mother
got ashore and were given shelter by
natives, but the shock was too much
for Captain Fownes and he died a
short time afterward. Mrs. Fownes
was later rescued and returned to her
grief-stricken daughter. The wedding
was postponed.
Not until this winter could it be
arranged. Then it was dec led that
Denver should be the place and the
holiday season the time. They will
live in Oatman, Ariz.
