SOME GOOD IN HON. BoGeER
Old codoer Explains Why Politician
Does Not Seem as Useless ~
Once Appeared to Be.

"For long time my pet detestation
was the Hon. Bascom Bogger." con-
fessed the Old Codger. Gle is born
honorable. who was twice elected to
trifiing offices, which encouraged him
so that he never ceased being q candi-
date. To the casual observer about all
he ever does Is to strut and utter pom
are fairly certain to encounter him
braying his bombastic bunkum. AS a
matter of fact. he Is horse doctor on
the side, and as horses are easily fool
ed he enjoys tolerably fair practice.
But the other day discovered him
in a new role. Death visited rickety
shack down by the brickyard, and be-
cause the poor family had no friends
the Hon. Bascom Bogger butted In and
bossed the obsequies. He rustled up
pallbearers, bullied several people into
putting their vehicles In the process
sion, started the hymns and sang them
through In his burly voice, and man
aged the affair so successfully that the
miserable family felt quite proud OF
themselves and the function. I found
out that he made practice Of attend
ing the funerals of poor people and in
fusing as much life and pep into them
as Is possible to get into such events.
So, somehow, since made the discov-
cry the Hon. Bascom Bogger hasn't
seemed quite so tiresome to me as
formerly."-Kansas City Star.

tell us; but there Is uneasiness among
those who watch fashions closely.
Everywhere one finds tendency to
widen the hips. We are trying to get
peg-top silhouette as opposed to a
planked~shad silhouette. If this change
comes about, the straight chemise
frocks or tunics will not have as much
value us they have today.
IL is not only the Americans, but
also the French, who have proposed
this silhouette. 1t is not universal !;
one sees continuance of the straight
line on the great majority of French
and American clothes, but with more
tendency toward the peg-top outline in
the homemade things than In the for
eign ones, except from houses like
CallOt.
The reason for this innovation Is due
to the military and 1t Is strange that
1t did not occur before the fourth
year Of war. We have admired the
silhouette of mannish wide hips and
narrow ankles for many months with
out thought of introducing 1t in wom-
ems clothes. Now IL is here and 1t is
carried out i'm almost the identical
manner that the military tailors use
with mems trousers.
Simplicity VS.. characterization.
Another subtle change that has come
across the sky of fashions since the
first French styles were shown is a
IN oil min - hA
trimming with which the season began.
There was an overelaboration of rich
and massive embroidery, of tassels,
Of colored facings, of strips of me-
tallic ribbons, and of other strange
and capricious gewgaws that the mind
can invent when large ideas are lack
ing. The universally Of all this or
namentation, such, for instance as
miles of fringe, was its own undoing.
1t bordered, dangerously, on the ugli-
est period of mid-Flctorianism. 1t
save one an unpleasant memory, even
IL u far-off one, of beribboned milk
stools and frying pans in the parlor.
1t was well done; no fault could be
found with its quality, but why do it?
This was the question asked by those
who are apostles and disciples of sim
plicity.
After awhile, as the majority came TO
the conclusion that everyone was in
danger of being over-Ornamented, the
dressmakers had calls for quieter
frocks.
No matter how severe a suit or cloth
frock is, the use Of good peltry lifts
it out Of the commonplace class. We
do not need several yards of fringe,
splashes of colored embroidery, half
dozen tassels, and few fur pompOns
to prove to our neighbor that we
know what's what.
Getting Down to Essentials.
Possibly there has not been enough
cold weather to justify the usage Of
the several weaves Of the hairy and
animal-like fabrics new to the season,
but there Is q noticeable absence Of
them in the clothes worn by women
who have chosen well among the sea-
sonal offerings. There is beaver, seal,
mole a-plenty, but only a few inches
OF their substitutes which gave the
Paris weavers so many anxious and
elated moments. They may arrive,
and, again, their full development may

Relieved the Tension.

A little hoy at school saw his teacher
faint and fall. In the confusion It was
impossible to keep so many heads cool,
and the little ones flocked round the
PROSTATE lady and her sympathetic col
leagues. But this small boy kept both
his color and his GOODNESS.
Standing on bench and raising his
hand. he exclaimed: "Please, teach
er, can l run and fetch father7 He
makes collins" The peal of laughter
which greeted this unconscious humor
reused the teacher from her short
trance, and nobody enjoyed the young
ster's saying more than she did when
the circumstances were explained to
her afterward.

The secret OF the speed and power
Of the Moline Universal lies in its
perfected overhead-valve engine and
two-wheel construction. The engine
develops 18 horsepower at the belt.
and 9 at the drawbar, every ounce Of
which is available for pull. There
are no dead wheels to drag along
that Only carry weight and Steer.
For blowing III extremely soft
ground, the Moline Universal is
equipped with a diiferential lock that
enables the two drive wheels to be
locked together, doubling their pull
ing power.
When blowing the land wheel is
raised so that the tractor is level.
The wheel is very easily and quickly
raised Or lowered.
The light weight of the Moline
Universal, $3.50 pounds, and its high
Clearance, 29Iz inches, make it adapt
ed for all other field work, besides
blowing. With it one man can plant
40 acres day, cultivate 90 acres a
day harvest % acres a day, or do
any other work with equal speed. It
is the ideal tractor for any sized
farm, practically eliminating horses
and solving the farm help problem.

With two 14-inch bottoms, under

Moline Universal Tractor, Model D,
