ing over the greater part of the past
winter, left on Monday Of this week
returning to his homestead in Mon.

attention to his extensive farming
operations during the crop growing
season.
a a The M. w. of A. have announced
quite an increase in the rate of as.
sessment on their insurance, but even
when this is properly figured out it is
a pretty good line of fraternal and
benevolent insurance at that. The
raise in the assessment rate is due to
the large number of losses adjusted
since this country's participation in
the worlds war and the outbreak of
the influenza epidemic during the
early part Of the past winter.

FOR FALL AND THE STREET.

There is to be a respite from blue serge for the street this fall Not that this excellent standby will fade out of the fashion picture, but it will not be the only woolen material to choose from for the service frock. There is flannel, for instance, so beau tifully soft for pleating and draping into the new lines. So let's consider this frock in terms of flannel.
 O course, it will be brown or one of the beautiful tans. Note the nor nal waist line, please. But 1t is not an uninterssting line in spite of the return to normal. That tiny irregular yoke that joins waist and skirt takes care of the diff: erent'' air. The bod ice is cut on frankly shirtwaist lines, but any danger of plainness is offset by the strap. trimming dswn the front and around the cuffs. It might be q very good plan to make the straps of contrasting material, or, better yet, of Hercules braid in a darker brown, and fasten them with amber buttons. The small collar at the back of the neck should be of cream embroidered batiste.

NATIONAL COM, MOVES ID GIVE
 EQUAL VOICE

Atlantic CiB, N. J., Sept. 26-De- centralization of campaign work which would give the north, west and south an equal voice with the east was one of the big questions to come before the executive committee of the Democratic National Committee which opened a two days conference here today.
 The plan was said virtually to be assured of adoption. It contenapIates the division of the country into four zones as follows:
 Eastern, to include New England, and the middle Atlantic states, with headquarters in New York; southern, including the southeastern states, with headquarters in Washington; 1; middle western, including the cen tral states with headquarters prob ably in Butte, Mont, and the west ern zone, comprising the Pacific coast and the southwest, with headquar- ters in Seattle or Portland. Homer s. Cummings, Chairman of the com- mittee was said to favor the plan.
 Other matters to be taken up will include plans to organize the wom- en of the country by states.

Birthday Bio-Briefs
 Famous Women
TO BRIGHTEN CURTAINS.

You are wishing right now that you could afford to get new curtains to brighten up. your rooms Q bit for the coming winter. But you need so many things and everything is so ex- pensive that you conclude rather glOomily that the old ones will have % do duty another winter.
 You need not have the old ones look dull and faded out. Where they look dingy and the coIors seem to have lost their briIHancy, take the curtains out in the open air and give them a good shake to free them of all the dust. Eexamine them then and treat any grease or dirt spots with benzine or petrol. Do not for a moment for get that the latter are inhammabie.
 Now spread out the curtains upon a flat surface and rub them gently with mixture of dry bran and cal cined magnesia. See that every part of the curtain gets rts share of the powd r and then lay it aside for 24 hours. At the end Of this time brush out the mixture with a soft brush. You will be surprised to see ho much brighter the colors are. Sometimes the curtains look just as well as those new ones you wished you could have bought.

PREMIER TRYING ID SETTLE THE
 IRISH PROBLEM

London, Sept. 26-Efforts are being made by Premier Lloyd George to reach an adjustment of the Irish problem, in the belief of political circles here. Among the possibili- ties, it is said is the resignation of James Ian MacPherson, chief secre- tary of Ireland, who may be trans ferred to another post. Field Mar shal Viscount French, Lord LieUten- ant, who has been in London for sev- eral days conferring with officials and whose resignation would have caused little surprise, will, it is said, return to Ireland.
 Niscount French is reported to have advocated another attempt to reach a settlement of the Irish uues- iton, and he is said to be preparing his proposal for submission to par liament when the next session opens.

From Waupaca POST
George Edward Wood, aged forty
one years, son of J. S. Wood Of this
city, was found dead on the banks
of Beasley Creek at the Chain O.
Lakes, Sunday morning by two camp
9rs, and the coroner decided death
was due to an epileptic attack, death
coming Immediately. George had
been camping at the Lakes a short
distance from his parents cottage,
and Sunday morning evidently went
20 Beasley Greek for bait, and had
got some, before he was stricken, he
falling face downward in the soft
earth, where he was later found.
His father and Mr.. Bonesteel Sc
cured the body and took it to the
cottage, Monday bringing it to the
Wood home in this city where short
| funeral service was held Monday af
ternoon, the Rev. Chas. E. Coon off
| eating. Tuesday the body was taken
to Menomonie Falls, where it was in
| tered. after a service in the Meth
odist church of that city.
| George Wood was born in Menom-
onie Falls, Wis, Dec. 20, 1878, com
| ing to Waupaca with his parents
June 9, 1899, remaining here and at
the Chain o Lakes practically ever
since.

Witte, of Grand Rapids, about thir-
teen years ago and she and three
children survive, they living at Grand
Rapids.

do YOUR
SHOES HURT!

How so many women whose work
several hours a day are able to wear
the awful shoes they do is mystery
20 me. It is doubtful if many men
would have the physical strength t.
tand the strain. Perhaps, however.
it is vanity and muscle training rather
than natural endurance that enables
the so-called weaker sex to do the
trick
A waitress behind one of Milwau-
KEGS busiest lunch counters has pair
# so badly balanced high heeled shoes
hat the marvel is that she does not
prain her ankles as she rushes back
and forth. Her walk looks more like
that of circus performer doing q
balancing act on a slack rope than
anything else I can compare it with.
Her back and legs must ache fright
fully at night but she probably charg-
es this against the hard work she does
rather than the ugly and ridiculous
shoes she wears. If anybody, her mo-
Their or father especially, were to sug-
gest that the shoes rather than the
Job were at fault, she would probably
be as indignant as the young Irish girl
was who, one day, set whole class
Of edical students laughing at their
instructor.
This young woman wore a pair Of
shoes which were obviously far too
mall. The professor being an OBJ
serving man said: Young Woman,
don't those shoes hurt?"
NO." replied the patient, at isn't
me shoes that hurt, it's ne fate that
hurt and they're most killing me-"
It IS really too bad that women (and
some menl do not have feet which
were created in the shape Of the
shoes they like. But if they had such
feet they would doubtless insist upon
another shape for their shoes.
