Yes, just that. Specially imported yarn
dyed, fine, silky, yet also firm and dur
able. Mostly plaids, some stripes, some
plains; 32-inch width.
Women who delight in neatness and
fine textures in their spring dresses will
appreciate these 75c ginghans. No
silks could possibly supply the feeling
of freshness and life that these exquis-
tie new ginghams convey.

NEED OF FUNDS is ACUTE
Members of Organization Not to be
Assessed Much More if Prop
0sitiOn Is Decided,
special to The Argus.


chicago, March "a. = Table
NO. ! was looked upon today
ny many of the delegates to
the Modern NOOdmen head
camp meeting which opens at
The Hotel Sherman tomorrow
as the one most likely TO he
adopted because il was eonsid-
cred the most equitable of the
four which have been drawn
up ready for presentation TO
the session. The increases
provided in this table amount
to a trifle more han so per
cent OF the old rate. IL was de-
cfded that the rate matter will
be taken up by committee
Of the whole first, the commit
tee to be composed of one
member from each state dele
CATION 4 progressive league"
has been organized as an in
suTgent body, but the execu-
tive council believes that it is
not strong enough to present
much trouble. Activity OF this
body is revival OF the old in
sur seHcg propaganda
No suggestions on the rate in.
crease matter have been made by
of the Modern Woodmer
of America organization to dele
gates to the special head camI
meeting. which will be held il
Chicago tomorrow. the proposition
having been left to the decision o.
representatives of the various
states.
AS an increase of at least so pei
cent on the present rates is held
as necessary to make up for the
extra heavy drain on the mortuary
fund of the society during the last
several months. Numerous deaths
caused by Spanish influenza and
are placed as the cause
Of the present condition of the
funds and the great decrease in the
amount of surplus.
Rock Island officials OF the Mod
ern Woodmen and the two dele
gates from this county left Satur-
day afternoon for Chicago to at.
tend the special meeting. They
probably will return the latter part
of the week
If the delegates 10 the meeting
come to an agreement on the in
crease matter. the proposition is
not adopted until it is submitted
for a vote TO every member of the
society. A majority of votes will
bring about any change 50 decided.
End War Fund.
Discoutinuance of payments to
the patriotic fund, started as a
war measure, is expected soon,
members of the executive council
having limited that such an order
can be expected. Each member for
the last several months has been
assessed 90 cents extra every
month for this fund. The differ
ance between the amount now be-
ing paid by each member as regu-
lar dues. including those for the
patriotic fund and the new rates,
calling for 80 per cent increase,
would not cause any great incon-
renience for the members. 1t is
estimated that the difference would
average from 5 to 20 cents d
month for each member. excepting
hose who became members at an
advanced age and those who have
taken out extra large policies.

Eleven camps and naval bases in the

already been assigned, but more are
needed to cheer UP the boys while they
are awaiting discharge. No talent IL
wasted IN a "Y' hut, the bulletin says.

manager, seamstress. accompanist, sig i
pair.ter, confidant and general handy girl
around the hut.
At Camp Lee the ''Yr' girls are going
into the hospitals where they write let
ters for the soldiers and distribute fruit

wrestle with the bards storing
knowledge in his head, but must
play a game of cards or go
yawning off to bed. Let me
have a stack of tones, piled
about me on the floor, tales,
biographies and PONIES, and my
heart will crave no more. Then
the weary world may wag any
blamed way it may please, and
the night hours will not drag.
but will scoot like humble bees.
I don't care to talk a streak, or
to argue politics, or to listen for
a week to the silver-throated
hicks: | am tired of crokinole
and OF checkers and of chess !;
poker puts me in the hole, SO
does bridge whist, more or less.
