CLOSE OF VOLUME TWENTY-FIVE.

With this issue The Adair
county News finishes the TWEEN.
;y-second year of its existence
1t was started in November,
1897, with Mr.. G. S. Harris as
editor and publisher, and during
all these years it has not missed
but one issue, and it has been
publication from the
start. At the beginning the
subscription list had to be secur-
ed, but in a few years It had a
list of eighteen hundred, and at
one time we mailed thirty-two
hundred to REGULAR subscribers.
This list remained with US until
the Government forced US to cut
the names from our subscription
book who were more than one
year in arrears. Many of those
who were cut off have since paid
and now receive the paper week
ly. At this time we have nine
teen hundred subscribers, and
our Job department is running
over with work.
We. have endeavored to give
the people of Adair and adjoin-
ing counties the local happen
Iings weekly of this part of the
State, and also the State and
general news of interest, and
developments have proven that
the reading public has been sat
isfied with our efforts.
The News has been Democrat
ic in politics from the start, bu
it has not at any time been of
} fensive to our Republican breth
reh, as hundreds of them, al
subscribers, read the pape
weekly. We are not unmindfu
that their action is a complimen
and we want them to know tina
their patronage is appreciated.

Here women came to shop from a

early and stayed late. OF course,
there was the commercial hotel that
catered to real travellers, and there
were one or two cheap restaurants
that took advantage of poor labor

food, badly cooked and disgracefully
served, just because they were with
out real, live competition.
At first Mrs. Austin tried to rent
space from. the local department
store. but the manager wanted a
fabulous sum which the experiment
did not seem to warrant. Then she
decided that IL people really wanted
good food at moderate cost they
would be quite willing not only to
walk of the main street, but also
walk up a flight OF stairs. And so,

obtained the place she wanted for

Starting a Cafeteria


was a railing q bit more than waist
high. This railing ran along the
wall about two feet distant from Il
as far as the entrance. Patrons
walked along the railing until they
reached the counter. Upon IL we
began by displaying just g few va
rieties Of dishes later. as the trade
Warranted, we expanded.
Each customer picked up a tray
and a knife, fork and a couple OF
spoons neatly wrapped in a double
paper napkin. From our display
the patron selected what he wished.
And as he stepped into the enclos-
ure where were our dainty tables,

OF the purchase, and placed a glass

the marketing personally. There
was one woman in the kitchen and
a general helper for di5hwashinss,
cleaning, and the like. One girl
was employed to. gather up trays
and dishes, and Mrs. Austin helped
with the cooking and took in the
cash.
One girl served at the counter
and one did the checking. Some OF
these were half-time workers and
Mrs. Austin endeavored to close up
each day at not later than 4 o'clock.
The cafeteria existed for midday
meal only and that accounted for
the rather short hours.
But what did you sell?" asked
this successful little lady.
well, at first we had one kind Of
soup. We kept one cheaper meat
dish. such as meat loaf or meat
stew. and one roast, such as beef.
We kept potatoes in two styles. We
had at least two other vegetables,
two varieties Of salads. two kinds
OF sandwiches, two kinds OF des-
serts, and tea, coffee and milk to
drink"
But how did you know just what

'In general" said Mrs. Austin,

three times as much as a dish cost.
For instance, a cup of coffee and a
small jug OF cream cost us nearly
three cents. For this we charged
seven cents. Great care was taken
by all concerned to have the food
look attractive and tempt folks to
buy"
Mrs. Austin netted $50 a week on

The Early Fall
Suits
By Rita stuyvesant.

TT PPERMOST in the thoughts
OF women at this waning
season is the desire for the
smart fall suit that is beginning
20 show itself even az this early
date wherever fashionable women
assemble. Varied, indeed, are the
newest models, with coats ranging
from finger-tip length and drop
ping quite suddenly to a long top
coat, showing only a few inches OF
the skirt beneath.
It is the coats, indeed, that will
claim our attention for the next
few months For there is little
divergence in the present skirts
from those Of last season, except,
perhaps, that there Is a sensible
tendency to widen them a bit
Skirts that show the same width
at the belt as at the hem predomi-
nate because they give that desir-
able silhouette OF elegance.
A belted suit cut on sweater
lines is being shown for early
fail. and is featured in tan wood
veIours. The coat buttons snugly
about the throat, but on Indian sum-
mer days may be opened and rolled
back into attractive revers framing
2 tiny vest OF white satin. Big
novelty pockets trim the sides OF
the Jacket and for smartness the de-
sfgner has added a suede belt with
covered buckle. This smart model
Is especially suitable for sports
wear, in town or for general morn
ing trotteur.
Extreme length characterizes an
other suit OF Russian tendencies
that is cut from sea green velour
dsiaine, and trimmed with buttons
covered with the material.
Only q few inches OF this ma
teriaI are visible below the coat.
which would serve equally as well
for a top coat as for a suit.
A narrow panel at the back is in
one with the upper section Of the
coat and belt. which is buttoned
at the center front. One Of the dis
tinctive features Is the Tapped seams
at each side OF the front below the
hips marked by a row Of covered
buttons. Tight sleeves also button
trimmed. deep shaw! collar and
slit pockets lend finished style to
this smart garment.
Tricotine promises TO be one OF
the most popular OF the early fall
materials and is shown In q wide
variety OF dull, rich coloFings. Wine
shades, beaver, rust. beet-rOot, all
tones of green, deep purple and,
OF course, the reliable navy arc
among prominent shades for the
new season
A stunning suit for the strictly
tailored type OF woman shows a
lCnes-lsnEth coat, closely fitted to
the figure. Trim and unbelted, this
suit buttons up 70 the throat. and is
finished there BY a great gauntlet
shaped collar Of self-materiaL
