Manufacturers of suits assure us that
no supply of wool beyond that they
have already secured is in sight, and
1t follows that our spring clothes are
likely to be made of some other sort
Of material. Already variety of
new materials Is on the shelves of the
stores and In the stock rooms of the
factories. Whoever needs a wool suit
would best buy 1t early in the season
before the supply runs out. 1t may
have to do service for the next three
years; bat 1t is easy to put up with
this state of things. If all the wool is
needed for the ever-increasing army,
women will do without it.
There are on hand just now suits
and coats for fall in good wool mate
rails and in many graceful styles. One
of them is shown above in practical
and plain model that will prove good

the skirt is longer than for several

SONG FOR ALL ABLE TO HEAR
Trouble Is That All People Have Not
Properly Attuned Themselves to
Listen to 1t.

"There is ever Il song somewhere,
my dear" sings the poet. Let us go
little further and say that there is
ever a song everywhere-if we have
the ear attuned to it.
The cultured musicians will tell you
that what the masters sing in theif
strange and complex studies is the
highest music to those who are trained
to catch it. But the simple heart finds
the harmony in the simple, lowly mel
Odies.
What to the one class is purest mu.
sic is to the other meaningless noise.
If we just knew how to listen we could
love the songs of each. To some the
Jingle of money is the only music in
the world--It deafens them to all 9TH
er sounds. To some the melody of
their own names spoken in praise is
the only music worth hearing. The
ears of these seem to open inward.
The greedy and the vain shrink theii
whole world to their own size.
But to those who can hear it there
is a song in every phase of life. For
tunate is he who can hear more than
a very few.-EXchange

Part Old Inca Wall and the Temple Of the Sum- cuzco

fOwer-filled square, more than eleven
thousand feet above sea-level, the
semitropical sun shedding it's warmth
radiantly upon your head through the
thin, transparent, cloudless air, you
find yourself wondering which way to
face lest something Of the strange
ever-unfolding scenes escape your
gaze. One side of the square is lined
by row of little shops filled with 81
varieties of merchandise in which pre-
dominate gay-colored saddles and di-
verse accoutrements for the burros
and pack animals, with profuse deco
ratiOns of red and green and blue
wool; before these shops sit Indian
and cholo women holding in their
hands spindle spools which they marlip-
ulate dexterously during the intervals
of trade, spinning the wool and weav-
ing it into the poncho and caps and
full shirts of the native dress.
Above these quaint places of mer-
chandise in.the top of these two-storied
houses that spread out over the side
walks ere homes with deliberately
carved balconies overhanging the
street in old Spanish fashion, and with
red tiled roofs that glitter in the bright
sunshine.
Cathedral and Fortress.
On another side of the plaza stands
the ancient cathedral, built as one is
told of the famous Inca stone and con-
tanning the brother of Pizarro and that
Spanish conqueror's partner, Almargo.
On the doors Of the chapel of San
tiago, adjoining the cathedral, one can
read the legend preserved in archaic
sculpture of ST., James coming down
visibly on his white horse, standing
with lance in rest, turning the tide
of battle In favor of the Spaniards, thus
noting the last throes of the famous
Inca empire.
On still another side of the square,
you can study the remarkable facade
of the old Jesuit church and the an
cient University of Cuzco founded in
the sixteenth century, which buildings
are said to be connected by an under
ground passage, associated with many
an historic intrigue in the days that
are dead.
These great piles of ancient mason
ry look straight away to the east where
the great megalithic fortress of Sacsa-
huaman, that cyclopean structure of
ten called the ninth wonder of the
world, tops the hill 600 feet above the
city, and where one climbs to behold
the rock remains which guarded the
aboriginal Inca empire of Nance Ca
pae. On the summit stands a cross
bearing the inscription to the effect
that he who climbs the hill kisses the
crucifix and says prayer at the foot
of the cross, to him hundred days Of
indulgence shall be granted.

Forty-fve men in Class l in Garrett
county will be called to report and be
indicted into the service of the Ma
tional Army this month, according to
official notice received Saturday even
ing by the local war board. This is q
less than the number called from the

ed in June, 1917. Then, in addition it
is expected that more than one hundred
will be added through the registration
made on June 9Th of this year when 149
young men who became of age since
June, 1917, registered and are awaiting
physical examination to be followed by
their classification and later their call
for service.

new DRY BILL
MORE DRASTIC
Agricultural Body Approves Sub
stitute Prohibition Measure.

Legislation to prohibit the sale of
distilled liquors, wines and beer after
January l, 1919, and to prohibit the
manufacture of wine and beer after
November l next was agreed upon
Monday by the Senate Agricultural
Committee at Washington.
The legislation is proposed as q
substitute for the pending Norris
amendment to the emergency agricul-
tural bill, which would stop the sale of
distilled liquor and wine on June 80,
1919, and prohibit the manufacture of
beer three months after the bill be-
comes law.
Provision for the expectation of liquors
already produced was considered by the
Committee and probably will be report
ed in some form before the Senate acts
on the amendment.
The changes had been discussed, for
number of days, so that when the
committee met action was practically
by unanimous consent without a record
vote.
BY fixing definite date after which
the sale would be prohibited of all in
toxicating liquors members of the COM
mittee believe that any charge of
discrimination would be avoided. They
say wine growers would be enabled to
dispose of this years crop, while
brewers could make use of their entire
supply of malt.
