Spring Style
Discovered
by Gabby
Wilson's Old Silk Tile Mad.
Lovely Spring Bonnet for
Pretty French Girl.
BY GABBY DETAILS

u EHOLD the Victory Bonnet OF
1t was bought by Mile. Mar
guerite Namara for $50. With it
she wears gown of black Victory
satin dotted with rosebuds. cut rath-
er full over the hips and falling in
graceful lines to the ankles. Black
satin pumps with rhinestone buckets
accompany the gown, and another
accessory chosen by Mile. Namara
is stick, six feet long, inlaid with
Persian ivory and topped with !
brilliantly colored tassel.
Here is the secret about the bon
net. 1t can be made out of your
husbands old silk hat. Not only
can charming chapeau be produced
mo small consideration--but you
will possess that feeling, almost
holy in its purity, which comes from
the act Of praeticing economy. Now
made-over economies which are not
beautiful, are not economies at all,
for either one does, not wear the re-
suit of her thrift, or finds that the
wear and tear on disposition make
the experience costly ones
But there is no question about the
beauty of this bonnet, else Mile.
Namara, now on her way to Mexico
to sing, would not be wearing the
original. Ito be sure, her fetching
creation was made from President
Wilson's old silk tile, but that only
adds to its interest and not its
charm.) And neither is there
question about the economy effect.
ed, for your husbands old silk tile
of last season can do him little good
now. Blocks have changed with, the
calendar, and the latest word from
fashion centers is moderately high
crowns with rather rolling brim."
And then-even if your husband is
/, not fastidious there are still the
moths which might eat up his hat
this summer anyway. So have no
scruples. Appropriate his hat for
your own high purpose--high in the
sense of attitude rather than alti-
tude.
This is how it was done by Mrs.
Thomas Walsh of Washington, D.
c., creator of the original design.
First she carefully steamed the hat
and proceeded to peel off the silk,
as if she were peeling an orange.
This silk was then cleaned and
pressed. Every inch was used
AS there was no practical method
for utilizing the stiffening in the
crown, a shape of crinoline was
fashioned and the original silk was
sewn to it. The front was decor
ated with white satin and pink rose
buds. A poke here and a twitch
there caused the soft silk felt to
fall in folds, and then two streamers
were added
Truth crushed to earth may rise
again, but no such ambition should
be cherished for Johns crushed
headgear. Let it rest in peace above
your curs-an epitaph more e1o-
quent than the departed for whom
it speaks.

Heart Beats

We wish and wish
For the best of things,
And we long for that
Which we can not get.
When the day-clouds
Cover the shimmering sun
We worry and fuss
And we fume and fret.
We fully expect
That our luck will change
And the walk ofLife
Will be cleared by Time,
But the wise man
Paused in passing
Z To hear our foolish
Bit of hraving.
A twinkling eye
A smile awry
An ambiguous "Ah! I'm ....
We caught.
Youths high hopes
Ran wild we know
As Our castles
In air took form.
Wefranted and bubblcl
AlP over again
Till our thought trains
Became wreck trains
On the highway of LIES
Seamy road.
Then the wise man winked
AS he shook his head
In that kindly
Way he has
And I,urmered
These words s~A
OF wisdom;
Blessed is he who
Never expects for
He shall never be
Disappointed

A law, which is now in effect, gives
the department Of justice the right to
go after the profiteers. Now we ex-
pect to see the administration make
good and clean up the big packers,
who have been gouging the public this
long while, according to investigation
results. About every thirty days some
department Of the government investi-
gates the packers, and every report is
hotter than the one previous. The last
investigation resulted in the charge be-
ing made that the packing concerns
controlled most of the food products
of the country. If that is so we expect
to see some fur fly in the near future.
Philip Liesch in Brown County
Journal.
We sincerely hope your expecta-
tions will be realized, Phil, but we
fear they will be metamorphosed into
disappointment. Up to this time not
an investigation, whether Iof the
packers or other monopolists, has
proved of any avail-the combines
are operating with impunity despite
the activities of the department. Of
justice to curb them. It may be that
the trusts have better lawyers than
the government. At least from past
trust prosecutions it would seem so.

The Influence Of Radicalism.

Governor Goodrich of, Indiana, in
an address at st. Louis, said it is
now apparent that the pendulum has
again swung too far in the direction of
control of industry by the govern
ment, and. that the influence Of radi-
Gals in this country has been material
lily widened by the encouragement that
has come in numerous ways from the
administration at Washington. .Just
as we fought the domination Of the
slave oligarchy in the middle Of the
nineteenth century and the capitalistic
class in the latter part Of the nine
teenth century," he said, $50 must we
fight the domination Of this other
class in the twentieth century. There
is no more dangerous force operating
among US today than the class-minded
man, whether he is laborer, capital
ist or farmer-the one who demands a
privilege for his class at the expense
Of the American people. Led by un-
reasoning promisers Of Utopia, mil
lions of honest Americans are being
drawn into a debauch Of industrial
revolution. Reason languishes in q

Why is it that nine out of ten kids,
and almost the same per cent of
grown-ups will walk along a public
highway with shot gun or rifle and
shoot guide signs full Of holes? Guide
signs cost money and are erected for
definite purpose. They are amso-
lutely necessary and yet these thought
less Individuals seem to take keen
pleasure in destroying them at first
opportunity.-Park Rapids Enterprise.
The fault lies, in the first place,
with the parents Of the boys and then
with tho police authorities. There is
a law governing the age (16) at which
a boy is permitted to carry a gun
and most municipalities have ordi-
nances prohibiting the discharge of
firearms within the city limits. But
the shooting Of sign posts fall Of holes
is not as great crime as the shoot
ing of birds, which some Of the little
assassins are encouraged to do by
their parents. Such parents should
be jailed.

The Character of an Honest Man


There is no truth more thoroughly
established than that there exists, in
the economy and course Of natdfe, ar
indissoluble union between virtue and
happiness, between duty and advan-
tage, between the genuine maxims of
an honest and magnanimous policy
and the solid rewards of public pros
perity and felicity.
The consideration that human hap
piness and moral duty are insepara-
bly, connected will always continue
to prompt me to promote the prog
ress Of the former by intoxicating the
practice of the latter.
Without virtue and without integ-
rity, the finest talents and the most
brilliant accomplishments can never
gain the respect, and conciliate the
esteem, of the truly valuable part of
mankind.
| hope l shall always possess firm
ness and virtue enough to maintain
what consider the most enviabIe of
all titles, the character of an honest
man.
The private virtues Of economy, pru-
dence, and industry are not less anna
BILE in civil life than the more SPLEEN
did questions Of valor, perseverance,
and enterprise in public life George
Washington.

Certainly a nice state of affairs is
permitted to exist in the immigration
bureau Of this country when 81 pas
senge1c who lacked complete immi-
grafton papers are permitted to land
from a European steamer in New Y ork.
The authorities are altogether too le-
nient in this matter Of permitting i'm
migrants to enter our gates and, un-
less the new law passed by congress
is enforced, the first thing we know
the United States will be overrun with
undcsirables. According to anthem

Once upon a time Woodrow Wilson
wrote of Andrew johnson, "He uttered
with that air of passion, that always
went with what he said, invectives
against congress so incorporate, so
hot with personal feeling, that those
who heard him looked upon him as al
most a man distraught, thrown from
his balance" This is merely printed
to show that there is some truth in
the old saying that history repeats
itself.

College professors throughout the
country are complaining that their
salaries are insufficient to keep pace
with the increased cost of living. This
is doubtless true, and probably the
prime reason why the president took
a shipload Of them to Europe with him
ostensibly as scientific advisors but
in reality to junket them and hand
them few thousand dollars apiece
from the public treasury. At any rate
the report of the proceedings of the
Paris conference fails to show where
one of them was called upon for ex-
pert advice.

politics, according to its charter, but
it will keep an eye on the slackers dur
ing the war who upon the restoration
Of peace may seek public favors. It
is only right that they should. Those
who failed to do their duty during the

risked their all on the field of battle.

Some administration officials are
sufficiently candid to admit that the
sugar shortage is due to the action
of the president in not paying any at

and having it purchased for the United
States. Had the greater part Of Gu
ba's sugar production been bought by
