Among the many varied features in the "Posten" Our Ladies Style
Department. W e know, is one of those our womenfolks appreciate the
most. For years and years they have looked o these columns for ideas
and practical help as well as for the mere pleasure of looking at attractive
models n season hits. As IN the past, W c will endeavor to make this
department a real new feature, in which will be found syle-suggcsions
that cannot fail to interest any woman, and incidentally may save her
money, or though We strive 20 display novelties and up|odae models,
we avoid the impractical and luxurious and conform to fashion within the
limits of good taste. After all. simplicity is the key note of good taNc
and the woman who knows how to dress simply, yet with taste, is the
o. the art of dressing.

Lost time is never found again, and time
enough always proves little enough.-ben
Franklin.
DO WE NEED THIS?

Mr.. Schwab, of the steel corporation, has let
a gigantic cat out Of the bag IN which the ad-
ministration was concealing it. Our govern
n,ent is building a fifty -milion-dollar battle
ship. the most monstrous eng inc Of war ever de-
vised, and the navy department Is planning to
build several more.
If this is not extravagant, indefenslble folly,
what else is it? Do we need such ships? Can
we afford to build them' Noship can be so big
that it mi ght not be sunk by mine or destroyed
by well-directed shell. In the duel between
guns and ar1nor, guns have always kept ahead
and probably always will The league which
was to give peace to the world is in force.
Every nation on earth big enough to think of
attacking US has adopted it, except Germany
and Russia which have no navies and no money
with which to build. Are we going to attack
some other nation run amuck on the seas?
IF not, what use have we for such colossal and
enormously expensive ships? It is little won
der that the administration kept the plan a Sc
cret until an outsider made it known.

GOING BACK TO THE SOURCE.

The reduction of prices by retail merchants
throughout the country seems to mean that they
are disposing of present surplus stocks in ex-
pectation of buying new stocks at lower prices.
From New York City comes news that the re-
tailers are openly making this plain In their
dealings with wholesalers. And this means
that the price tide is backing up and eventually
will reach the sources of production of the
goods. What then! Here is the quetion of
most Importance For if the wholesaler and
jobber reduce their prices, they will go back to
the souce from which they get the commodities
for reductions. This will lead back to the fac
tory and field, to cost of production and even
tually to the wage scale and production eff
cheney. Then will come day of rejoicing. Can
goods be produced, handled, marketed at a re-
duoed price with sufficient earning power to
keep labor employed on present wage rates and
money in business earning enough to keep it
there? This is the question that'is coming to
place where it must be answered and only the
honest cooperation of the people who work and
furnish money and buy what they produce can
furnish an answer that will mean safety and

NOVELS THAT LIVE

Hugh Walpole is an English
man SO given to the delivery OF
wise literary dicta that many
people have acquired the easy
habit OF letting his public state
ments go by. default; but in re-
gard to a singular utterance of
his the other day in an article
in a New York paper am not
inclined TO be so charitable. "One
may, indeed, say" Walpole writes
quite seriously, that from Mrs.
Oliphant to May Sinclair Great
Britain has had no woman novel
ist whose work has outliyed her
immediate time. This" he adds,
with masculine self-sufhciency,
''is not true of the men,
Now. how in the world could
Walpole, a most sapient member
of the present-day intelligencia,
have overlooked George Elio.?
Has he forgotten her? Or is he
like the high school girl who
said, yes, l have read all of his
novels, and think he is splendid"
George Eliot. who was born,
Marian Evans in 1S20-one hun
dred years ago-and who was
known as the wife of George
Henry Lewes and afterward mar
ried John Walter Cross, was not
in the Oliphant or Sinclair class.
She was a consummate literary
artist, and her work has so far
survived her time that no mod
ern library is considered COM
plete without it. One does not
z buy sets of Mrs Oliphant, or
Mrs. Humphry Ward. or OF Har-
riet Beecher Stowe, or Emma d.
Southworth, but one does buy
sets of Walter Scott, Charles
Dickens and George Eliot. To
say that the work Of the author
of Adam 'Bede" and "The Mill
on the Floss has not outlived
her immediate time is to ques-
tion the endurance of the fame
of one whom many judges of good
literature regard as one of the
most eminent of novelists. In the
day Of Marie Corelli and Cert
rude Atherton she il not, to be
sure, read as she was when
tRomoia" was enjoying such wide
popularity; but one might say
something of the sort as to
Dickens, whose works, along with
those of Eliot, were published in
this country in enormous pirated
editions by the old Seaside, Lake
side and other libraries" and
are still published in more pre-
tentious reprints
If George Eliot's work has not
outlived her immediate time.
then it is to be questioned
whether that OF Thackeray, or
Hugo or Balzac has done so, for
in none of this is to be found

LABOR DIsAvoWs BARLOW.

Cedar Rapids Republican: This
paper has alluded to the deplorable
of socialist by the. name
of Barlow in the Fort Dodge labor
proclaiming as he did pos,
sible red revolution of some kind in
ninety days. The blame for this sen
sational episode has been placed on
the labor organization, but as we
pointed out last Sunday, the blame
probably did not belong there. The
Cedar Rapids Tribune has since made
that clear. 1t says of that episode:
"The address Of Barlow created
a one-day sensation in Iowa with
the burden of defense placed
squarely upon the shoulders of Mr..
Garfield and the Iowa labor move
ment It is but right to state
that the address in question was
no made upon the floor of the con-
vention but at an entertainment PA.
and mass meeting given under. :
the auspices of the Fort Dodge
Trades and Labor assembly. Nei-
ther Mr.. Garfield nor the officers
of the state body had any control
over those in charge of the affair +
or the program. 1t is customary
to entertain the visiting delegates
and the arrangements of the pro-
gram, the speakers chosen and
other details are solely in the
hands Of local committees in the
convention city. This was the.
case in Fort Dodge-and as point

Dandruffy Heads
Become Hairless

If you want plenty of thick, beautiful,
glossy, silky hair, do by all means &c.
rid OF dandruff, for it will starve your
hair and ruin it if you don't. -,
It doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash it out. The only. sure way
to get rid of dandruff is to dissolve M it'
then you destroy it entirely. To do ms this;
get about four ounces of ordinary hqlla
arvon; apply it at night when retiring, I s;,,
use enough to moisten the scalp and ruo
it in gently with the finger tips.
By morning most, if not all, OF your
dandruff will be gone, and three or f9uF our
more applications will completely dls. s.
solve and entirely destroy every sinsie
sign and trace Of it.. ! :, 4
You will find, too, that all itching and
digging of the scalp will stop, and your
hair will look and feel a hundred tunes s
better. You can get liquid arvon at any. any
drug store. 1t is inexpensive ana lou lou,
ounces is all you will need, no inastSs TS;s
how much dandruff you have. inaz
simple remedy never fails.
The daily Gate City and constitution-Democrat., 1920-05-26

ed out in this newspaper in pre-
convention news stories the pre-
ponderance of sentiment in the
labor movement in that city is
voiced by the so-called radical
element Of which Mr.. Barlow has
/ been known rs a leading exponent
in the state.
The same paper explains that Bar
low was not permitted on the floor Of
the convention proper. That makes
that matter clear. No one who
knows the amount of conservative
thinking men in that organization
could have been made to believe the
contrary. The conservatives in the
federation have all along been called
upon to keep the radicals down and
out and it has often been a struggle.
But that does not relieve the man
who is opposing Senator Cummins for
denomination for the United States
senate. THAT man who writes Col"
before his name, though he wears no
service Badges, according to the Tri-
bune was an invited guest at the en-
terfainment at which Barlow made
his play TO the galleries." The "Col,"
was not only an invited guest, but he
was one of the speakers at the ENTER
tainm ent," and he proclaimed great
deal Of socialism OF his own kind, but
not wholly lacking in kinship with the
socialism of Barlow. And while

Barlow's outrageous remarks, he did

! able propriety begin a little nearer
! home in their labors for world unity.
/ So long as single denominations OF a
! single branch of single religion in
the United States are unable, be.
cause of mere sectional differences,
to accept common government there
ought to be a little more modesty
about asking Americans to merge
their nation into a world corporation
in which the United States will hold
only about two per cent Of the stock.
, Until those of our religious leaders
who are using their posts of authori-
ty to promote the Wilson covenant
are ready to accept not only a COM
mon government for all branches Of
single denominations, but even a
common government for Protestant
ism and Catholicism, and then q
world government OF Mohammedan-
ism, Judaism, Buddhism. Confucian-
ism, Shintoism, Zorastrianism and
christianity in which christianity
shall play a minority role. then they
ought to go a little slow in proposing
that Americans merge their ideals
and sovereignty with the worlds em.
pires, kingdoms and quasi republics.
The misuse Of church. organizations
and publications in behalf Of the un-
Americanized covenant is exceeding
ly distastefuI to the vast majority OF
the men and women who go to make
up the churches of this country. Far
more harm has been done to the
churches than good to the admins
tration by the vast effort which has
been made to commit the churches Of
the United States to support OF the
super-government devised by the df.
piomats at Paris. For the people I'M
derstand that the effect if not the
purpose Of this scheme of world gov
ernment as Mr.. Wilson brought 1t
home was to guarantee the spoils of
victory to ce-.ain great European and
Asiatic powers, flatten out weaker
nations like China, and link the des-
tiny of this republic with that OF
many nations which are as far from
acceptance of this nations ideals as
they were when Washin gton warned
Americans against ENHANCEMENT with
the primary concerns of Europe.

LIBERTY BONDS ARE A GOOD BUY.

A money stringency of great severity has
been brought on by the exhaustion of capital in
the war and the urgent demand for it in the era
Of recovery. The demands on capital exceed the
available supply; and the price offered for the
use of it is such that holders of government
bonds see advantage in selling them at a sacri-
flee. The bonds are worth as much as ever, but
for lnen in certain lines of business money is
worth more, and they find it more costly to
borrow than to sell their bonds. In all human
probability, however, this is only passing con-
dition and people who do not need their saw
ings in their business are turning it to profit by
purchasing Liberty bonds at prices which make
their investment yield six per cent.

invaded. The rights and powers reserved to
sovereign states are given away. The moment
the public eye is turned, the people S so-called
representatives liable to give away or vote
away anything to any group or interest which
goes for what it wants with club. Thus it is,
as Senator McCumber says, that the people
stand almost helpless while debts are piling
high Therefore it is that we behold
ideness increasing, production decreasing, cur
rency initiating and debasing, prices advancing
and the yoke Of tayation growing greater and
more CALLING year BY year.

closer or more truthful charac-
terization, or closer human
touch, and as for scholarship
Elliot ranked with the best OF
them. Then, too, there is an epic
sweep in the tone of her work
that is surpassed only by Hugo.
Take "Middlemarch." 1t is such
study of English provincial life
as no other author--not even
Thomas Hardy--ever attempted.
The novelist conducts you up and
down the streets and roadwayS
and into the homes of the people.
You come to know them intimate
ly, for they are not phantoms-
they are vascular and alive, and,
above all, intensely human. They
are not caricatures, like the
people of Dickens, creatures of
fantastic or grotesque person
ality, and the appeal they make
to US is not made by tricky SEN
timentalism-but it is a plea to
the heart, the Imagination, en-
thusiasm, nature. In their words
and acts they mirror our own
hopes, our own joys and griefs,
our own passions and weaknesses
and our own experiences of life.
Taine finds the fault with Dick
ems that nearly all his portraits
are sarcasms. Not so with Eliot.
Even her Mrs. Poyser is never
dangled before us for our deri-
sion, and though those Of US who
in our youth wept easily over
fn
our mature years how we were
tricked into tealfulness by the
subtle craft. of her author. Our
later readings of the tragedies Of
Hetty Sorrell and Maggie Tuiii-
yer do not alter our youthful
attitude toward these honestly
drawn heroines. And has any
novelist of any time ever depict
ed a more essentially human
character than that of Amos Bar
ton?
There is this, too, about Eliot
no writer ever has successfully
initiated her. Edith Wharton
made the intricate style of Henry
James her own and improved
upon it. Stevenson was the
father of school Of romancers,
and Kipling might count his copy
lists by the score, among them
some of the most successful
story-writers of this country but :
Eiot's charming manner was
elusive, and it died with her. To
say that her work did not outlive
her immediate time, however, is
to say that the work of a genius
can die, and that is something
which not even Mr.. Walpole can
make the scholarly appraiser Of
literature believe.

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

! Sac City Sun: The Sun does not
know to what extent the farmers OF
Iowa will flirt with the labor unions,
but it is sure that when they find
their farm hands joining a union, de-
imanding a strictly eight-hour day,
-four hours off ON Saturday afternoons
and no chores on Sundays the raul
Gals among them will have a less
friendly feeling for unionism. Farms
cannot be satisfactorily run on such
basis.
Marshalltown Times Republican:
They say only 80 per cent of the
corn is planted-but they always say
that and have to build new cribs IN
the fall to. hold the surplus.
RoIfe Arrow: We don't pretend to
be much of a republican, but know
enough about the party to realize
that the bunk Brookhart is standing
for is not republicanism, never has
been, and never will be.
p Charter Oak Times: II Colonel
Brookhart makes good all the prom
ises he is making, he will be some
juggler. We fear he is too liberal.
Hampton Chronicle: Brookhart will
find that he will not get as much Of
a labor vote for United States sena-
tor as he is expecting. The labor
men are not going to be led to
slaughter by lot of paid agents from
New York, who are out for their own
interests, and not that Of the union
men. Railroad men In Hampton say
that they expect to vote for Senator
Cummins, and they hope his proposed
bill to prohibit strikes becomes law.
Knoxville Express: So many politi-
cal prophets are prophesying just
what is to come to pass before No
yenber that it is manifestly certain
that some of them will prove to be
right.
Algona Upper Des Moines-Republi-
can: The labor unions are endorsing
Brookhart for senator. That. in ic-
self, should defeat him, for the people
are extremely tired Of labor unions
and strikes.
Marshalltcwn Times Republican
What we need most are good roads
uEIbDl 10 ueiIStI ~ lotoSho -
the railroads and enough cars to haul
them to market after we get the stu!f
to the railroad. We actually need
those things more than we need an
army in Turkey.
Waterloo Times Tribune: Help for
the railroads means help for the pub
lic No one now thinks that the ra!l.
roads can run on wind. The public
wants the, best possible service and
realizes that the railroads can give
it only by receiving reasonable rates
for service. Some railroad workers,
all agree, are underpaid and must
have a wage that will induce them
to offer the best of service. 1t has
come home to the public just how
important uninterrupted railroad
service is. ,rt
