There are many white dresses-of georgette, voile, crepe-de-chine. net or organdy that such a bride may choose and lace of some kind is nearly always a part of them. In making a selection for bride one must remember to look for dignified designs, but for brides maids this is not so important.

MlLLlNERS and millinery depart IVA ments are featuring new displays or hats made for midsummer wear and calling attention to the distinctive character of this headwear. The spring hat makes its appearance very early, helping to beguile us with thoughts of bright and halmy days that usually lag far behind their cheerful harDlng- CTS.
 The new displays for summer wear include hats for all occasions as mag be gathered by glance at 4he inn- linery pictured above. Here are street and dress hats with an example of 2 sport model. The most unusual hat in the group is made of plain and of brocaded georgette with slipper straw and piping braid contributing the un- expected but effective touches in lta composition.

for farming If this be true, then l am going to plead ignor- ance as to their location. In the hope that l have overlooked lands of this character in the in- vestigation of practically every township and subdivision there of within the boundaries of the state, by myself and field men, l most earnestly request that you advise as to the loca tion of these lands that I may pass the information to the hundreds of soldier boys, in whose welfare you confess a great interest, in order that they may exercise their rights under the homestead and other federal laws and reg ulations.
 With assurance of my desire that I be accorded fair treatment during this campaign and that you may be saved from further ridicule on account of your extravagant and groundless charges against me, am with profound disappointment,

WHERE HARRISON STANDS ON
 THE STATE ROAD COM.
(From Wednesdays Oasis.

(From Wednesdays Oasis.
 Under the caption Where Does He Stand?" the Herald of last evening carried in it's col umns the following unwarranted attack upon Chairman James A. Harrison, of the Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors:
 The present chairman of the Board of Supervisors of Santa Cruz county, Jas. A. Harrison, was recently elected treasurer of the Southern Arizona Good Roads association formed in Mo- gales to fight the highway con- mission bill, bill which will work hardship on the roads of the southern part of the state.
 Several days ago the Phoe- nix Republican stated tEat MT. Harrison was one of the framers of the Highway Commission bill.
 We will ask again: Which is which and what is what?"
 Harrison must climb one tree or the other. He cannot climb both at the same time. It looks to The Herald like the old game of "heads win, tails you lose"
 The assertion of the Phoenix Republican that Mr. Harrison was one of the framers of the State Highway Commission measure is inaccurate in a way. It is one of those half truths that are worse than positive ] ia abrications.
 ic To attended the meeting at Phoenix which framed the State High way Commission Bill, now be- fore the people upon an initia- tive petition. But in that meet ing Mir. Harrison opposed the proposition; and upon adjourn ment he returned home to take up the fight against it.
 MT. Harrison , attended the Phoenix meeting as Chairman of the Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors, invitation having been extended by the Phoenix | Chamber of Commerce and the Maricopa Good Roads Associa- tioD to boards of supervisors, re- presentative of local good roads associa tions, city councils, etc, to be present. When the confer. ence was we'll organized and functioning the measure men, tioned was introduced. Imme- diately Mir. Harrison and others from the southern counties took positive ground against the pro- posed measure; but it was forced through. Maricopa county hav- ing a majority of the conference. Mir. Harrison and other oppon- ents left the conference fighting the measure; they have been fighting it ever since; they will continue to fight it until the polls close November 2nd; and their opposition has led to crea- ton of the Southern Arizona Good Roads Association as a fitting instrument to fight it.
 Mir. Harrison's position has been straight forward, and not at all equivocal, the Nogales Daily Herald to the contrary, notwithstanding.
