Wool furs, or fur fabrics have be.
come thoroughly established staples
that manufacturers Of suits and top
coats reckon with each fall In making
up their lines Of practical garments.
Where wool furs undertake to look
like the pelts they initiate they are so
marvelously close to the original that
II requires q careful inspection TO dis
tingulsh between them. Sealskln Is
initiated 10 wool fur that keeps one
guessing, unless 1t Is almost within
arms length. and there are furs almost
as successfully Initiated. But some
times the manufacturers of wool fur
use a genuine fur only as an inspi-
ration and interpret 1t In a fabric
that IL handsomer than the original.
This Is what has been done In the
case OF the material that resembles
the natural muskrat pelt, which Is
used SO much for coats.
As trimming for cloth suits wool
furs prove more practical than real
furs, from the standpoint Of service,
and q handsome wool fur Is better
looking than a cheap fur. II stands
up better. Manufacturers chrlsten
their new productions with new names.

Greenwood, LeflOre county, and the
entire Delta section owes gratitude to
Mr.. Wright for the discovery Of the
artesian water which supplies this
section. He proceeded on the theory
that artesian water was beneath the
surface. He drilled for same and dis
covered an abundant supply.
4 AS a token Of appreciation a drink
ing fountain monument was erected
to him and now stands on the campus
of the Greenwood High School. He
operated the first electric light and
waterworkS plant in Greenwood. At
the time of his death he was member
of the City Water and Light Com
mission and the County Board of Su-
pervisors. He also held the important
position as president of the First Ma
tional Bank. He was man of the
noblest character, a loyal and stead
fast friend, and at the time of his
death was one of the wealthiest men
in Leflore county, being the sole own
er Of the Wright Coal & Ice Company.

Women, having taken a violent
Ancy to smocks for summer wear,
lave replaced a few blouses with these
lewer garments. The smock has not
arrived at the place where 1t rivals
he blouse in popularity, but its adj
rance toward that stage has caused
blousemakers to consider 1t and to
adapt their designs to Its lines. A
great many Of the new blouses have IA
peplum and a very loose girdle at the

% the smocks that have no waistline

casual manner possible.
Among the blouses that extend be-
low the waistline and some Inches
over the skirt there are many that
have this extension only at the back
and front, like those shown In the
picture above. They carry strong
suggestion of the smock. and stout
women like them because they make
the figure look more slender than
those blouses that have a peplum or
the emock.
The blouse at tho left Is made OF
dark blue gcorgette with a very mar
row binding of satin to match, about
the neck. Other edges are finished
with a picot and seams are hem
stitched. Slashes In the front and
back are finished with picot edges
and n narrow girdle Of the georgette

novel and very pretty management of
the waistllne. Another distinguishing
new touch appears in the wide band
about the fiaring sleeve. An en-

ALMOST BROKE

The Colorado branch of the National
Non-Partisan league is in financial diff
ficulties, according to reports received
in Denver from sections of the state
in which the organizers of the league
have been active during the last few
months. The league is losing daily
hundreds Of dollars upon which its
leaders in st. Paul had counted to de-
fray expenses of the leagues campaign
before the recent election and to pay
their organizers salaries.
incidentally the league has lost and
is still losing thousands of farmers
who were carried upon it's books as
members. Thanks to the campaign Of
education conducted during the recent
political campaign, the eyes of the
farmers have been opened to the true
character of the leagues objects and
of its leaders, and the farmers are
dropping out by the hundreds.

and financial losses to the league come
chiefly from the heads of the banks
in the rural districts in which the
league has recruited its membership.
According to reports from these
bankers, the organizers of the league
instead of demanding immediate pay
ment of the $lS membership fee, per-
mitted farmers whom they had talked
into joining the league to give checks,
dated ahead, whenever the farmer
pleaded lack of ready cash as a reason
for refusing to join. Thousands Of
these pre-dated checks were In posses
sion of the state managers of the lea
que before election day.
When the campaign of education
against the league was started, many
Of the farmers who had given those
checks made up their minds that they
had made q mistake. The first thing
they did was to stop payment upon
their checks for their membership fees.
So numerous have these stop orders
become that many banks have refused

81 800.
