the question of the proper wrap comes
up again, and here, too, one finds such
wide choice that one is almost bewil-
dered
How did we ever get along without
them, these fascinating wraps that are
SO easy to slip on and that completely
cover the costume and protect it against
rain, sun or dust? The one illustrated
here is particularly graceful, with its
big collar that crosses in the front and
buttons in the back. 1t is made of soft
black satin with giddy lining of Rom
an stripe just by way of surprise, and
the collar is gray satin. Note also the
skirt with its smart pockets and inter
esting back extension coming around
onto the front This may be left un-
buttoned if desired, thus making the
skirt easier to walk in. Have you not
iced one pleasant fact this year: every
thing is being designed with two
thoughts one of lconservationuof mate
rial, and the other with an eye to com
fort. These are the tests that you can
apply to all the new designs, and are
the determining factors in the end as to
whether a design be smart enough to
label 1918.
There is nothing that can make OF
mar a costume so much az the belt
There are any number of odd and novel
ways of making this important feature
Some are reminiscent of medieval days
girdles in fact, that go once or twice
around the waist and hang with long

Billy Sunday on the War.

That international game of war being
played on the western firing line in France
Is in the last half OF the ninth inning
Uncle Sam has been called in as a clean
up hitter. He needs our help to win the
game. He must have cannon, guns, ships,
autos, trucks, flying machines, battleships,
submarine chasers, cloths, medicine, food,
and it is up to us to do something beside
sit in the grand stand and yell.
We must win or liberty win perish in
the trenches
Our little trouble with Spain was coon
hunt compared with this scrap we have
on hand with that bunch of pretzelchew
ing, sauerkraut spawn of bloodthirsty
Huns.
Sympathy is one of the loveliest traits
Ct human character, but all the sympathy
in the world can't win this war unless we
come across with the coin.
We did not win the war when we de-
clared war, we did not declare war because
we wanted German gold or land: we do
not want dollar of their dough nor one
acre of their land.
We draw the sword in defense of free
government founded on the sovereignty
of the people, which is in eternal conflict
with the baseless, arrogant and hellish
claims of the kaiser and his gang of cut
throats
The tragedy Of the kaiser is not that
lie is hellish and cruel but that he thinks
he is decent
1t is not that he is the mouthpiece Of
| the devil but that he thinks he is the
vieeroy of God
It IS not only our duty, but a great priv
| iege to loan our money to the govern
ment in this hour of staggering sneed
! We can win, we must win. We shall
win, so dig down deep and let us fill
ncie Sans bank vault with our money
and help send SILVER down the crooked
| spine of the Hohenzollerns who are dane
ing on the. thin. thin crust of hell, and
thus help the guns of the army and navy
to dig their graves. then the world will
| live in peace.

Ferrisburg Farmers Who Harbore(
Runaway Girls to Go to Windsor.

MIDDLEBURY, June 22.-For har-
boring three girls who had escaped from
the industrial school at Vcrgennes.
Frank and William Jerome, aged 35 and
%, of Ferrisburg, married men, will
serve sentences of from one to three
years at the state prison at Windsor.
They were sentenced yesterday in Addi-
son county court.
States Attorney Allen R. Sturtevant
asked heavier sentence for Frank
Jerome, who has three children Both
men pleaded guilty.
The three girls escaped from the
school Saturday. They are Clementine
Devoid, Edith Hughes and Mildred st.
Peters. They were trying to get back
to school Monday and the men agreed
to take them. Instead, the Jeromes
rowcd them across the lake and, it is
alleged, the party spent the night in a
fishing shanty.
Harry Reynolds, who was a trouble.
some inmate of the industrial school
was sentenced to serve not less than
four nor more than five years at hard
labor at the house of correction in Rut
land. He pleaded guilty to breaking
into the jewelry store of w. H. e. w. S
Bristol in Vergennes on May %. A
dozen watches, valued at 800; a bicv.
Gle worth $40, revolver and various
small articles were taken, but Reynolds

A severe frost Wednesday night dam
aged beans, potatoes and corn. Some
of the fields were entirely ruined One
acre field of beans owned by the Ameri-

loss of several acres of potatoes, beans

think for others as well as for ourselves.
Choose all materials with an eve to the
future; buy what you need, and buy the
best quality, for that is true economy,
hut remember that everything You buy
can be becoming well as practical,
This little dress is as dainty and at
tractive as possible, and it is one of
those fortunate designs that can be
worn by the Miss or the woman who has
slender and youthful figure. The odd
pockets and collar, with the fascinating
tassels, are quite unusual features
This frock was of pink chambray but
the design could be copied in any of the
summary materials. 1t is refreshingly
cool, and will be a JOY to wear on warm
DAYS.

tasseled ends far down the skirt, even
to the hem edge in some instances. Then
there are wide crush belts of silk, satin.
or the material of the dress, that are
finished off at the back with smart
pump bow perhaps, or two or three but
tons. Sometimes on semi-tailored cos,
tunes there are wide slashes for one side
of the belt to slip through. Often a
narrow belt of leather or kid is worn.
Organdie is being used a great deal for
wide sashes on dresses of Bingham or
percale, or of organdie. OF course rib
bon is used great deal, with big but
terfy bows on one side of the back and
long sash ends such as were worn in our
childhood are considered especially fit
ting for the more dressy frock.
Every now and then we hear talk of a
uniform style for women. This is ri
diculous as we'll as an impossible idea,
for so many reasons. There is one thing
that we must all do, however, and that
is to carefully plan every detail of our
wardrobes, so that nothing be wasted
or bought without due consideration. 1t
is the duty of every woman here and
everywhere to look as well as possible.
We must help even up this world, and

Letter from Claude Vincent.

The following is an extract from a
letter from Claude S. Vincent at Camp
Lewis, American Lake, Washington:
! think we shall be moving out of
here before long. Our captain told us
tonight that orders had been received
to be ready to move by the Goth of this
month. We probably will go over
land from here to New York. / don t
know whether | will be able to get a
furlou2h or not, but / shall certainly

We have been living a very strenuous
life lately. We got SO new men short
time ago. They had had practically no
drill, and they are trying to give them
in six weeks what we have been nine
months in getting.
Of course conditions are much more
favorable now than they were then.
The weather is better for one thing,
and the commissioned officers have
had drill enough to know their business
now. When we started in most of the
corporals and sergeants were as green as
the rest of us, practically case of the
blind leading the blind.
This week the new men have been
shooting on the range and we older men
have been doing the work, marking tar
gets, scoring and coaching. Monday

wide choice from which to choose even
the simplest and most inexpensive of the

ON ADVERTISING By MAIL.

w. J. Betting, President Minnesota Ad
Clubs, Speaks Before Local Club.
Direct-by-mail advertising was the
principal SUBJECT discussed at the bi-
weekly meeting Of the Marshalltown
Ad Club, held at the Marshalltown
Club following supper Wednesday
evening. The speaker was w. J. Bet
ting. of st. Paul. president Of the Asso-
ciated Advertising Clubs Of Minnesota.
! Several other short talks were given.
In advocating advertising by mail as
| the shortest and most direct route by
| which the customer could be reached,
Mr.. Betting said first all those who at
tempted direct-by- mail advertising
must know to whom they were mailing
their advertising matter. They must
know that their mailing list was accu-
rate, and to be kept so it must be fire.

should be divided into special classes OF
customers to whom appeal could be
made for special lines or merchandise
or articles OF any line. Brown, having
no child, would be poor prospect on
whom to waste advertising matter Of
fering children's shoes for sale. Tho
subdivision Of mailing lists into special
veloped by city advertisers.
In preparing copy for mall advertis-
ing he advised that it be made explicit
enough and that it should enter into
details enough regarding the article or
articles offered to avoid correspondence
in answering questions. Such advertis-
ing demands that stock Of sufficient
size be carried to supply demands
al
He went into details regarding lines Of
merchandise that were most profitably
advertised.
He said the cost Of selling merchan-
disc by catalog ranged from ~ to is
per cent, while~no retailer spent to ex-
coed 3 to 81 per cent Of his gross busi-
ness for advertising, and few even that
much. Where there were a number Of
well-s stocked retail stores In a small
city he advised joint catalogs. He de-
scribed catalog advertising as most e.
fcctive when supplementary to local
newspaper advertising. After no had
finished he answered many questions.
Assistant Postmaster P. A. Hawiey
explained the methods by which cata-
logs could be mailed under the permit
system. He called the attention of
merchants to the fact that they should
include In the advertising notices Of
the sale Of war savings stamps.
