A man for the office Of State Su-
p~erintendent should possess superior
qualifications and should be closely
identified with out great common
school system. Supt. Boehm meets
the requirements In a very high de-
gree. His heart Is in the common
schools of the common people and
he is what you would call a truly
self-made man.
AS early as the age Of 10 years
he had a burning desire to get. an
education. But he was without
means. The only possessions he had
were a burning ambition and a
strong determination in his soul to
be somebody and to render efficient
service some day. He hired out as
a farm hand to get enough money
to enter the Washington High
School. where he did ~janitor work
in connection with his studies. Soon
he became a teacher and established
a record at once. He taught and
attended school alternately until he
completed the high school. course
and later q normal course. While
q student at the Cape Gorardeau
Normal he won the regents medal
in oratory and when graduating was
valedictorian Of his class. Following
this he became superintendent Of the
Ava Schools. After five ysAss Of e.
ficisnt service he resigned to get =
university education. He studied
several years at the University of

school systems in the state. His
county honored him by sending him

Furnishing the Club Rooms

Furnishing the Club Room,
Robert G.. Ingersoll in the
course of one of his lectures
made use OF this remark, II
would rather be the poorest
American tramp than to be the
Gar OF all the Russians" Col.
Bob knew that he spoke the
truth. A red blooded American
though he be as poor as the pro-
verbal church mouse, is far bet
ter than all the crowned heads of
Europe. Every member of the
newly organized Commercial
Club of the City of Mansfield is a
full. red blooded American and
as the generosity of DR.. Beeler,
of the Beeler. Steph- Sharp Min
ing Co., has made it possible for
the Commercial Club to have a
nice suite of-rooms for the exclu-
IsiTe use of the Club. it is now up
to the members of the Club to
furnish those rooms in a way
that will reflect credit to the
Club, and the City of Mansfield.
A couple of years ago the citi
zens donated nearly five hundred
dollars to secure an Airship and
pilot to give a few exhibitions in
the City during the Annual Stock
Show. This exhibition was for
one day only, yet they gave the
money freely. Now the oppor-
tunity is presented the memb-
ers of this Club whereby they
can show the world that they.
one and all, are for Mansfield for
all time. Let every member of
the Club and anyone who is not
a member donate az much as he
feels able to give and make up a
fund to furnish the Club rooms
without taking the fees aud init
alton dues to pay this expenses;
the stationery and postage bills
will use up a large share of the
monthly dues and other lnciden-
tails will also cut a large figure in
the monthly bills.
A fund of two hundred dollars
can easily be raised by the mem
bers of the Club; Hooverize little
on your personal pleasure and
donate to this fund. 1t will pay
big dividends in the near future.
The members of this Club do not
want the rooms to look as if they
had swept bare of furnishings
by Alex Salisbury's big chicken,
with one sweep of his tail while
eating grain out of the Chicago
wheat pit.
You never got any pleasure
out Of the dollar you had stored
away in your sock" so dig up
one OF those Iron Men and join
in the game; maybe some other
member will raise your ante,
and donate two, but beat him to
it and get in the game early, for
you a never tell what's in the
other fellows hand. These min.
ing men who are coming to Man
sfield to boost, and this Club
should spare no effort in making
these men feel and know that
this Club is on the job all the
tine to help them in every way
possible,
The mining men are like the
Gold seekers of 40 so aptly de.
scribed in the poem of the same
name, TO take a chance is their
creed in life, to greet a loss with
a smile: to play the game for the
sake of the same, for there are
things worth while" One of the
things is the Club Rooms of the
Commercial Club of the City of
Mansfield: to make these rooms
home like and cosy; to furnish
them in a way that will be Gre.

of every member of this Club.

A Smart Effect.

A smart spring frock was built Out
of three yards Of blue serge bor
dered with a design in gold thread
Panels of the bordered serge fell from
neck to knee at back and front, the
bodice and upper skirt (almost hidden
under, these panels) being of BLACK
satin. The lower part of the skirt
and the close, long sleeves were OF
blue serge, and what remained of the
gold thread border crossed the bodice
at back and front, forming square
neck opening. The square yoke came
directly against the bare throat, with
no intervening collar or. band Of sheer
material. The effect, since the wearel
of the frock was youthful, was ex
tremely smart because Of it's yer1
severity

silk and small, pointed tabs of silk are
turned over it. The veil is a square
of Brussels net with a border of Grape
all around it. The hat covered with
Grape is shown without veil, but a
net veil may be worn with it. 1t has
a plain collar of Grape about the
crown and an odd ornament made of
Grape and grosgrain ribbon at the side.
There is so much latitude in the mat
ter of wearing mourning that it is diff
ficult to be definite about mourning
styles. They are chosen and modi-
fed to suit the individual taste. Al
all events they must be unobtrusive.

In the seasons collection of pretty
things for the fapper and for younger
girls, there appear many plain little
dresses made of taffeta, pongee and
other wash silks that are practical for
little ladies. The bingham taffetas"
that were presented early in the spring
were especially welcome for children's
dresses and led up to the use of other
silks. Pongee turns out to be. as good
a choice as can be made for the smaller
girls who may have this and gingham
taffetaS to add something splendid to
their possessions, while the fiapper re-
joices in plain taffeta, finished off with
a little simple embroidery, and ging-
ham taffetaS made up to suit her
youthfulness, with net or organdie.
The pongees and gingham taffetas
for the smaller girls are designed about
as their cotton or linen dresses are.
Very narrow filet edgings or cluny
edgings provide a pretty finish for
them and simple needlework in fancy
stitches is used as it is on cottons. The
dress in the illustration is an example
In which needlework on pongee reveals

The custom of wearing heavy mourn
at time has passed away, and there
are many good reasons why it should
pass. The main one is the sense of OBJ
legation and consideration for other
people, who are depressed by the
mourning of their friends. Another
is that strength Of character is meas
ured by fortitude, among other things,
and griefs must be borne without COM
plaint. Women put on all-black and
wear it for several months, or a year,
but it is not the deep mourning that
used to be worn. Instead of long wells
of Grape, they wear wells Of net, bor-
dered with Grape, for first mourning,
and later small net wells without Grape
The first mourning hats may be en-
tirely covered with Grape or with the
weaves in black silk that are used
for mourning. The shapes should be
medium in size and not unusual. In
the best mourning millinery such dec
orations as the hats have are made of
the material that is used for covering
the shape. Exact lines and exquisite
workmanship must characterize the
making and the trimming of mourning
hats above all others. Black or white
Grape is the insignia of mourning, and
is worn for as short period as one
month or as long as year. The ten
dency is toward shortening the time
that Grape is worn and using all-black
in other fabrics instead.
The small sailor shape pictured,
with round crown, covered with dull
finished, black silk is dependable and
excellent mourning hat. The band
about the crown is made of folds OF

how childish and tasteful this kind OF
decoration is. The model is very plain
with a panel set in at the front under
plaits at each side. Across the panel
at the neck, there is narrow band of
the pongee outlined at it's edge with
feather stitching or any narrow fancy
stitch. A wider band, finished In the
same way, takes the place of belt,
crossing the panel at the waistline.
There are threesquarter length sleeves
wide at the bottom, and turned-back
cuffs.
The most interesting detail in the
design appears in square pieces of
pongee, cut with short tabs at the top,
that are set on at the waistline on
each side. A button, covered with
pOngee, and ornamented with stitches,
is sewed to each tab. On these pieces
