If you dislike making buttonholes, try this method. After placing your buttons about a quarter of an inch from the edge of your goods, take the opposite edge and crochet g chain stitch of five loops and stick it through the goods. Then catch it on the last stitch and crochet five more. Each of these loops lies flat and has a perfect finish. fixed in this way. A crocheted edging of shell stitchins gives a pretty effect also.

Another hint, keep thfmb1es, needle and thread handy. As you iron mend little tears. A stitch in time will save nine. You will not have to handle the garment again to look for the torn places, nor will you lay the gar ment aside to wait for a mending day, which has a peculiar elusiveness in the face of more pressing things.

WOMAN'S PARTY TO CONDUCT
 DRIVE

The Connecticut Branch Of the National WOrnans Party is taking an active interest in the Liberty Drive which the Party is arranging to con duct at the end Of November. The Drive is to begin on Thanksgiving Day and it's purpose is to raise funds for the final campaign of the party. This campaign is to secure ratifca- ton in eighteen more States in or der to make up the thirty-siX states necessary to bring the Federal Suf- frage Amendment into force. By the end of November eighteen States will have ratified. Seventeen have done so already and Colorado will be add ed to the ratification before the drive begins.
 Four States will have legislatures in regular session early next year and will rat:fy without the need o1 calling extra sessions. The Legisla- lures in these states show a majority !n favor of the Amendment. It will therefore be necessary to call special sessions in fourteen States in order to give women the vote before the next presidential election.
 The drive will be conducted chiefly in the States which have already ratified. In many of these states ratification came almost immediately after the passage of the Amendment by the U. s. Senate. and the women consequently had no long or difficult campaign to undertake - no such campaign as has been engaging the attention of the Suffragists of Connec- ticut. Consequently in these states the states that have ratifed-the women are eager to help forward the women of other states, and these states include New York, Massa- chusetts and Pennsylvania.
 The object of the fund will be to enable the National Woman's Party to conduct simultaneously campaigns in all the fourteen states where special sessions are necessary.
 At present the party has neither money nor organizers for campaigns in more than two or three states at once. By carrying on campaigns simultaneously the time can be great ly shortened before the whole num- Der needed among the states will have ratified the amendment.

CONDITIONS FAVORABLE
FOR MONSTER SHOW
OF PUREBRED STOCK

The ebb and flow OF livestock ex.
hibits at gricultural fairs is always
consistent with market conditions and
prices for purebred animals. If the
market be dull and lifeless breeders
will show corresponding lethargy
about getting their stock before the
public. On the other hand when the
market is booming-as 1t is at present
breeders are on their toes with en-
thusfasm and make use OF every OPP
pOrtunity to show their stock.
That being true record-breaking
show of livestock may be expected at
the coming Iowa State Fair, August
2O-29. The auction sale rings have
been telling wonderful story of pros
perity and widening interest In the
production of purebred stock. Nothing
like it has ever been known before in
this country.
In addition to prosperous market
conditions the prize money offered by
the Iowa State Fair is an incentive to.
breeders. For money talks. 1t not
only puts forceful argument, but it
has the last word. Also it helps to
pay the freight. an important item in
connection with showing stock at the
big fairs.
In the cattle department alone the
cash premiums amount to 81, 661. so,
while the combined total for all kinds
OF livestock, poultry included, is more
than $4,000, not to mention cups,
medals, etc. All Of which means col
lossal show Of purebred animals. It
is safe to approximate $500 head of
hogs, 1900 cattle, 1000 sheep and
1000 horses-more than 5000 in oil,
and they will come from half the
states Of the Union.

and it is almost impossible to verify
the charges in a manner in which
they would pass in a court of law.
From the sporting writer of a
famous London daily, Universal
Service CLEANS the story of a gang
of clever crooks who for the first
time in the history of the derby
traded on the hitherto inviolable
name of the Calcutta Turf club to
issue spurious tickets to the derby
sweepstakes made by their own
printing press. They cleaned up a
sum estimated at 100000 from the
British Sporting club.
The reason why the scandal was
hushed up among all prominent
clubs, it is limited, lies in the likeli-
hood of some members of the clubs
being involved in the swindle. The
delay in the scandal becoming
known, even among the inner circles
of turf fans, is explained by the
fact that the tickets must be sent to
Calcutta for collection by Indian
banks, the British lottery law not
obtaining in India. The clubs re-
fusal to pay the winnings" on the
spurious tickets is just beginning
to be noised about in London.

Zimman, Keeper Of
New City Market, Seeks
Grocers' Friendship

City Commissioner Zimman said
yesterday that the first thing he
wants to do in opening the municipal
grocery stores authorized by the
city council Tuesday is to get the
friendship and cooperation of the
retail grocers.
II have been ordered to run these
stores" he said. Il think they are
a foolish proposition. but l will
carry out the order of the council.
Retail grocers are not profiteers.
They have hard struggle to make
4 living. I know this from expert
ence. I have faith that the grocers
will not oppose our municipal
grocery stores"
Mr.. Zimman will try to hold 4
meeting with the directors Of the
Omaha Grocers' and Butchers as
ISOLATION to establish a friendly feel
ing for the new institution.
He has sent a man to the whole
sale markets to familarize himself
with conditions so that he will be
able to do the buying for the first
municipal grocery store now being
fitted up in the basement of the
auditorium.
People have called up for posi-
tons as clerks, to sell him scales,
cash registers and other necessary
equipment.

though no large profits were OBJ
tanned" the commission said leather
manufacturers, shoe manufacturers
and retail shoe merchants all made
unprecedented profits"
Tanners Also to Blame.
Even in 1914 the tanning indus
try was prosperous" said the re-
port, in perhaps a majority of cases
earnings were 10 per cent or more,
and only few suffered losses. By
1916 and 1917 it was rather unusual
for a company to earn less than 20
per cent. A similar comparison for
manufacturers of shoes shows that
more than twice as many made a
profit of 20 per cent or more in 1916
and 1917 as did in 1914.
"The rate of return on investment
to shoe merchants cannot be stated,
but it is evident from the volume of
business they had, and from the
gross margins of profit they secured
per pair of shoes. that their bust
ness was very profitable.
Taking into consideration all the
circumstances, especially the cir
cumstances that the United States
was engaged in war, the large profits
taken by slaughterers for hides, by
shoe manufacturers and retail shoe
dealers cannot be justified, and there
is consequently no justification for
prices that consumers have been
compelled to pay for shoes"
