MEMORIAL To SENATOR STONE

"From all parts of the State the
many admirers of the late Senator
Stone have suggested that suitable
memorial should be erected in his
memory in this city where he started
his public career and where he de-
sired to be buried. An association for
that purpose has been formed and
subscriptions will be taken from all
parts of Missouri.
"Any person desiring to contribute
to this memorial may send it to
Claude c. carp, Secretary, Nevada,
Mo-, and receipt will be sent to each
individual subscriber. None of the
amount raised shall be used for any
purpose other than the erection Of the
memorial, not even for expenses.
Surely every person wants to help
this worthy cause"

FORCED TO. KISS FLAG
BY FELLOW-WORKMEN

A machinist named Nolan, employed
by the M. R. & B. T. railway, al
Bonne Terre,. who had been showing
signs Ct disloyalty for some time
was on Saturday made to kiss the
Stars and Stripes by fellow-work-
men. Nolan had been accused of max
ing unpatriotic remarks and with
stating that Third Liberty Loan Bonds
were not worth the paper they were
written on. Fellow-workmen on Sat-
urday afternoon made affidavits to
Nolan's utterances and the affidavits
were placed in the hands of Lieu
tenant Gilligan, in charge of the
Federal troops at Flat River. Lieu
tenant Gilligan arrested Nolan and
as Nolan left the shops he was met
by delegation of workmen who had
secured United States flag, which
Nolan was made to kiss. Nolan was
taken into an auto to the guardhouse
at the soldiers camp.

SQUIRE ]. d. Vance, of Elvins, ac-
COMMANDED by his brother, T. B. Vance,
Of Reynolds county, were Farming
ton visitors Monday. In conversation
with a Times reporter Mr. Vance
stated that he had made no promise
as to whether or not he would make
the race for Representative Of st.
Francois county. though he intimated
that if his party thought him the man
to make the race, then he would not
decline the honor. He did not feel,
however, like getting into contest for
such nomination-that whatever was
the wish of the party in this matter
would be his desire. That he would
add strength to the ticket is the be-
lief of his many friends.

A Great and Patriotic Speech.
Rev. C.. H. Briggs, Presiding Elder
of the Springfield District of the M.
E. Church, South, delivered a speech
from the band stand Friday after
noon, Immediately after the close of
the exercises at the Monarch. Thou
sands were gathered about the square,
but not one was too far removed from
the speaker to hear distinctly every
word that he uttered, so remarkably
strong and penetrating was his voice.
And all who heard were most atten-
tive listeners throughout the patriotic
appeal of almost an hours duration.
DR.. Briggs held up for the inspec-
tion of his hearers the Beast of
Berlin" the "Crazy Kaiser" so that
all could see him in all his repulsive
hideousness. The speaker tore away
all screening and gave his hearers an
unobstructed view of that fiend in hu-
man form, in all his nudity. Applause
was frequent and was given in
heartfelt manner. In fact it was the
unanimous opinion of all who heard
that speech that it far surpassed any
presentment of the war situation and
causes leading up to the war that has
ever been made in this city. 1t gave
many far more correct insight into
the unspeakable inhumanities that
are being daily practiced by the
"hordes of Huns"

Investigators of mining conditions
and the peculiar dangers 20 which
miners are subjected recently have
taken much interest in the practice
of Western gold miners TO make pets
of the rats which commonly infest
mines. On the mother lode OF Calf

miners invariably feed the rats and
take care of them. believing that thu

instinct of the rats. which warns them
when a tunnel is unsafe. And when
the rats leave a tunnel IL is almost i'm
possible To get the miners 10 work
there. This recalls The belief among
sailors that rats will leave Il doomed
ship. The miners also have found that
rats are much more susceptible than
humans to the dangerous gases that
50 often cause loss of life in the mines.
Long before the miners themselves are
affected by these gases the rats be-
come sick and show symptoms Of dis
tress. So the men keep close watch

BITING NAILS, CHEWING LIPS
Disfiguring Habits Easily Acquired,
Young Girls and older Women
Being Among Offenders.

One of the most unwhOlesome and
disfiguring habits is the biting of the
nails and chewing the lips. All ages,
too, are represented, since wee chill
dren, young girls and older women are
among the frequent offenders.
Chewing the lips, extracting bits of
skin from the lips, or biting them is
habit which tends to disfgure the
mouth by making it larger and pulling
it out of shape. Thus the expression
Of the face changes for the worse. This
habit is easily acquired and grows
apace. Some persons Immediately
start to bite their lips as soon as they
are engrOssed in book or with work
in hand. Facial distortions are often
grOtesQue, though the offender is to-
tally UNCONSCIOUS of the attention he
is attracting.
While this practice of drawing the
lips about does not improve the face,
it is not in the same class with biting

Only three of the many charming
styles in hats, made for the girl who
finds herself at last grown up, can be
shown in our illustration. But these
three styles have been found great fa-
VoriteS with the younger women whose
individual tastes and preferences in
matters of dress, are more clearly de-
fined than those of their elders. Their
young intuitiOns are keen and it will
have TO be conceded that no millinery
could express more definitely the spirit
of youth than these hats which SO
many debutantes have approved.
The hat at the left of the group is
one Of a great many interpretations
of the tam which is enjoying a long
drawn-Out period of popularity. 1t is
picturesque to start with, and since
the war. the glamor of the Blue Devil
of France has cast n spell about it.
This particular tam IS made of beige
colOred beaver cloth, mounted on a
beadband of grosgrain ribbon in the
same color, tucked at intervals. A
fiat bow of the same ribbon fastens the
fOlded-in-crOwn to the band. These
tams are made in all the popular col

is the feeling that surges in every
woman's mind and heart when Wash
ingtOn informs us, infrequently, what
can be done in our own chosen line of
work at slight expenditure of money.
Now, when Washington-through
the bureau of labor statistics, not
through the White House-gives as
the average cost of being well dressed
the following figures, one feels like
giving up the whole problem of how to
look well on little. The total yearly
allowance for dress of these women
who make a smart appearance (the
phrase belongs with the statistics) is

Lines that give an effect of slender
ness make the plainest frOcks or suits
intensely interesting to women whose
figures have lost that lOngcd-fOr at

she has reached "the age of discretion"
and becomes severely discriminating.
She will take the simplest affair in

what she requires in these regards,
and tone it up to II high degree of dis

wear, a furpiece, and hat that
matches it in trimness. Designers oc-

that are to give to the figure long and
very graceful lines and their artful
achievements compel us to admire
them.

Latticework of Gold.

Along with other revivals, by the
way, there comes into the fashions n
plentiful use Of the old quilting stitch
done in gold thread. 1t Is nothing but
simple latticework, and can be done
by an amateur Il but it is vastly eff

embroidery of a more lavish and bril-
liant type, but gown loses nothing in
the exchange. Those who are the
apostles of simplicity prefer it. Dark
satin frocks are enhanced by it, and
also more practical ones of serge, vel
veteen and velours. The metal thread
