Springtime Clothes for q

NNE may be very, very new in the world
Operhaps one has seen the apple blossoms
burst only twice-but that has been time
enough to learn how much clothes count.
And Mother, who has seen great many more
Springtimes knows what it is that counts in the
clothes one wears. She will appreciate the deli
cate loneliness Of these frocks for little girls and
the smart simplicity of the suits for little boys.

THE COST OF BAD RELATIONS.
People Afraid Of Being Driven Into
bankruptcy by Popular Hostility

The present situation of suspic-
ion and distrust prevailing between
railroads. and other public utility
corporations on the one hand, and
the people on the other, is exceed
ingly costly and drag on industrial
prosperity. Both sides are to blame
and both sides should set out to at
tain better spirit.
Take the case of the average street
railway. The public is convinced that
If there has not been dishonesty.
there has been too much disposition
to make money out of the public
Consequently most street railways
have not been able to get increases
in fares corresponding with increase
in costs.
The result is that no one wants
to invest any money in street rail-
ways. People are afraid that they
will be driven into bankruptcy by
popular hostility. Consequently,
when street railway needs to bor-
row money to extend it's lines, it
has to pay an exorbitant rate of in
terest. This is added to cost of oper-
ating the road. This added interest
cost will have to be paid for by the
public. That is, the public will have
to pay for the cost of it's own sus-
picions, which have destroyed the
credit of the road.
There has been some cause for
suspicion. Probably the majority of
these corporations are fairly honest,
or at least as honest as average
business, which is not wholly white
But many of them have been tricky
and many of them have been grasp
ing.
Now if the business of public SER
vice corporations is going to be con-
Quoted efficiently and economically,
two things must happen. The bust
ness community must see that every
vestage of business dishonor, every
bit of the profiteering spirit, is
taken out of them And then the
public must be equally ready to see
that the credit of every honest cor
poration is restored, that investors
are convinced that their money will
be safe in it.

opponents when the game opened,
but it was soon evident that they
couldn't do anything with the
locals.

Rows Will Give 4 show.

We have been requested to an
nounce a big show to be given on
Saturday, Aug. 80, in tent at the
Emil Oehler residence 903 Mill

Emil Oehler, Gavon Nelson and
Loren Kneeskern. They have some
wild animals, three untamed Link

no base ball bat either. Among other
features will be magic tricks, aero
batic work, phonograph music and
showing of Chinese torture wea-
pons. The boys feel that they have
Ringing Bros. backed off the boards
and will give better show, and they
are not going to charge exorbitant
prices either, as the admission will
be only five cents to all parts OF the
tents, which includes reserved seats.
The big show will start at 1880 in
the afternoon, and the boys expect
big crowd, and we guess by the
sound of their program they are en-
titled to big crowd.

Usage, Ia.-Osage high school
girls have adopted uniformity of
dress for the coming year. The fed
Grated clubs began agitating the
matter of dress for high school girls
last winter. The matter was brought
to the attention of the board and
faculty, but while in sympathy with
the movement they felt that they
had no right to require public
school children to dress in any par
ucular way, finally it was proposed
to put the matter up to the girls
themselves with the result that the
girls voted almost unanimously to
adopt the plan. The dresses are to
be dark blue, MILDLY style, or white
middies may be worn with dark
skirt.

The Traer Star-Clipper, one of the
best country papers in Iowa, altho in
town of less than two thousand
people, has advanced it's subscrip-

that war conditions were over were
not thinking of the newspaper BUSH

been laying in the biggest stocks of

past few weeks, because the market
is advancing rapidly and mills are
closing down because of labor con-
ditions.

 N. '. F0DD SUPPLY
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

NEW YORK, June 25.-Situation re- sulting from the strike of market team sters. porters and chauffeurs became so acute today that a representative of the department of labor arrived in the oity to aid in the settlement of the strike
 The walk-out Monday has seriously diminished the city's supply of fresh vegetables and fruits and today New Ycrk was virtually without some of these commodities. The only break in the embargo today was the arrival of ship with 700 barrels of potatoes. Business at the markets handling green vegetables and fruits was at a stand still. The only movement out of these markets was that of government trucks taking supplies to hospitals. These vehicles were operated under a guard of military police.
 L. J. Lippman, chairman of the pro- duce dealers committee, announced that if assured ample police protection. the dealers would attempt deliveries tomorrow. q
 While the strike is in progress thou sands of barrels of potatoes, cabbage and other vegetables are rotting.
 Eight hundred refrigerator cars of fresh vegetables and fruits, valued at s1, ,000,0 900, lying in adjacent New Jersey railroad yards, may have to be diverted to other points unless a settlement is soon reached.

.FORD DOESN'T SHOW
 EDITOR CONSPIRACY

MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich, June 25. Counsel for Henry Ford, who is suing the Chicago Daily Tribune for $1, LOGO, : 900 on a charge of libel. today con- tinued efforts to show that the edi- torial of June 23, 1916, headed Ford Is An Anarchist" was the continuation of a well organized and malicious con- spiracy within the Tribune offices.
 Perley Boone, city editor of the newspaper, who in 1918 was acting city editor, was the witness. On cross examination he was questioned by At torney William Lucking, of E1ard coun- sel, but the latter failed to elicit any thing but that news items about Ford found their way into the paper in a routine manner. and not in fulfilment of instructions from the publishers.
 From MT. Boone and previous Trib- une witnesses, it appeared that the idea of listing the names of firms which pledged themselves to safeguard the welfare of their employees who went to the Mexican border with the ma tional guard in 1916, origina ted with a minor editor and that such stories were published without higher sane ton than that of the city editor or the acting city editor.
 The story that MT. Ford would not pay salaries of such employees, hold open their positions. nor care for their dependents, it appeared, was no excep- tion.

 The council of four was informed dur ing Wednesday, that the German gov ePnment was busily engag ged in trying to arrange the personnel of it's delega- ton in Versailles.
 The Germans thus far have given no intimation as to what men are to be the choice of the Bauer government. Unofficial advices indicate that the cabinet is experiencing great difficulty in finding men who are willing to take upon their shoulders the duty of ac- knoWledging within a document which will become world history, Germany s utter defeat in the war and her un- qualified acquiescence to the terms oi the victors.
 Reports are that Herman Mueller foreign secretary in the Bauer cabinet like Dr. Haniel von Haimhausen, de- clined to accept the onus for signing Q treaty admittedly obonXious to the Ger mans
