Sullivan

The sturdy son of Erln who
passed away Saturday was one
of our best citizens. He was
born at Alton, Illinois, in 1859
and for 33 years was in railroad
service. He married Miss Willie
Moore June |, 1883 and for a few
years the couple resided in Kan
sas City, Mo. He quit railroad
ing and came to this county and
purchased the 80 acre farm on
which the Taylor school house is
located. about IA years ago. he
and his wife improved the al
ready pretty farm until today it
is one of the prettiest and most
valuable in the neighborhood.
Rev. Father Richardson OF
Brunswick conducted simple ser.
vices and the deceased was lal6
away in the city cemetery Mon
day afternoon, a large number
of the friends of the family
were present to pay their last
tributes of respect.
Mike Sullivan was one of the
earths' good men, No man ever
kept clearer of interfering with
the business Of others and no
man was more immune from
meddling acquaintances. Honest
and prompt, energetic and char.
liable, progressive and thrifty,
tho his life was devoted to his
home he was never lax in mat.
ters he was due to take part in.
Mr.. Sullivan had been sick for
some time with heart trouble
and when flu assailed him, it did
quick work. We surely deplore
his loss to the community and
regret having to part with a
staunch friend forever.

with flu Saturday preceding

ing about three o'clock, pneu-
monia resulted and in the early
afternoon she was a corpse.
After pneumonia set up she ap-
peared to suffer but little and
after remarking to her daughter
Mrs. Julia Hansman that she
felt tired and would turn over
and go to sleep, she turned
over in the bed and breathed no
more, her death being as gentle
as the passing into Sunderland.

parted and interment in the
cemetery at that place in the
presence of relatives and friends

sickness all over the neighbor-
borhood been prevalent. The
floral offerings were superb and
profuse but otherwise the ser.

simple as the deceased would
have desired them.

played. In common with all who
knew her, we know and fee

That is a stinging indictment,
but American women of intelli-
gence, by reading the way in
the present crisis, can answer it.
The old clothes movement was
conceived in sound common sense
and should be taken up in every
community in the land. There
is no way SO quick Or SO effective
to check greed. Tom BOdine.

Women and Fashion


formation of "Old Clothes Socie-
ties" in New York, Chicago and
other big American cities. The
membership includes both men
and women and the purpose of
the organization is to fight out
rageous profiteering on the part
of the manufacturers of men and
women's clothing by materially
reducing the demand. This is
done by inducing men and
women all over the United States
to wear last years clothes where
possible and to refrain from buy
ing until prices become reason
able again. The movement, led
by prominent men and women,
has already aroused fear on the
part of the manufacturers, and
is really the only effective in
strumentality with which to
meet the situation. Mems
clothing is unreasonably high,
but the prices women have to
pay are prohibitive. The aver
age man, whose life is not made
up of clothes, will fall in readily
with the notion, even patches
won't bother him, but the aver
age woman, in whom the desire
not to say determination to
keep up with Lizzie" is firmly
rooted, will be harder to reach.
Men as a rule wear their clothes
for service, but women follow
the styles. A mans suit bought
last winter, with a little care and
pressing, will last him through
this. So will a woman's suit,
which as a rule, has had less
wear and better care, but mems
styles are standardized in a way,
and the styles for women change
as often as they fancy or the
avarice of designers dictate.
Woman is a pronounced individ-
ual in everything except clothes,
regarding which she follows the
crowd to the jumping off place.
Clothes with her have ceased to
be an art and become a vice-al-
most debauch. For this rea-
son she will throw away a per-
fectly good suit bought last
spring or winter, and pay double
what it cost for a new garment
of inferior quality and in pattern
hardly distinquishable from its
predecessor. She will do this
often whether the family income
permits or notify to make
her believe it if you can and
the fact accounts for that tired
look" on the face of most Amer
lean men.
The higher the price the more
attractive the garment as a rule,
and because of feminine psychol-
ogy, clothes, or rather the orgy
in clothes, have become almost
a tragedy in the middle class
American home. The old clothes
movement holds out promise only
if women of means, intelligence
and position lead the way and
set the example. The woman
who can afford to do without it.
Her less fortunate sister, I'm.
happily, can do neither. Incl
dentally. here is where the or
ganized club and suffrage bodies
can be of real help to the men
of the nation, whom, they aver
repeatedly, they are so anxious
to aid in solving the big problems
that confront the world. 1t will
be genuine service and big en-
ough, compared to forestry"
"civics" and other trifing affec-
tations, to enlist the sympathy
of every intelligent and patriotic
woman. They, the women
remarked a well known anti
suffrage woman in Washington
two years ago-it was a para
phrase-'will do everything in
the world for the man except get
off their backs. Look at the

AMUNDSEN AIDES LOST IN ARCTIC,
 BELIEVED DEAD
Three of Explorers Men Missing Since Last Fall
 When They Left Ship
SUFFERS HEART ATTACK
Intrepid Norwegian Proceed ing with Plans for Polar
 Dash Despite Ailment

NOME, Alaska, July 30.-Three members of Roald Amundsen's Po- lar expedition who left his ship, the Maud, last Fall with mail, are missing, and it is believed have perished, according to advices re- ceived today by Amundsen, who is here provisioning for a five years stay in the Polar regions during which he hopes to reach the North Pole.
 A slight attack of heart trouble has not deterred the famous Nor wegian, who is the discoyerer Of the South Pole, from going ahead with the plans to find the Pole by drift ing 'northward in the Polar ice from Wrangel Island.
 When Amundsen arrived here Wednesday in the tug Genevieve from Sledge Island where the Maud is storm bound, he completed first circumnavigation of the globe through the narrow waters between the Arctic ice pack and the north ern edges of Europe and America.
 Amundsen cannot claim contin- uous journey around this northern rim, however, for the first leg was completed in 1906 when he discov- cred the long-sought Northwest Pas sage around America from the At lantic to the Pacific. On this jour ney he sailed westward from Nor way and ended his trip at Nome.
 The second leg of the journey has just been completed. In 1918 he again left Norway, but sailed east, around Europe and Asia

ALLIES GIRD FOR WAR WITH REDS
Poland Ordered
 To Resist Foes
 Peace Demands

PARIS, July 30.-The Allies have notified Poland that they will not permit acceptance by Poland of any demands by the Russian Soviet Gov ernment involving whole or partial disarmament nor any change in the Polish system of government dictat- ed or brought about by the Bolshev- iki.
 Neither will they tolerate accep- tance by Poland of boundary line less favorable than that drawn by Premier David Lloyd George of England nor allow Poland to be used as a bridgehead in any sense between Russia and Germany.
 Stocks of munitions from Entente countries are moving toward Poland steadily from Danzig and other points.
 Hungary has asked permission of Great Britain and France to ttaack the Bolsheviki but the Allies are hesitating over this offer, fearing that Germany would expect too many concessions in the treaty terms as payment.
 The French Government has been informed that Letvia, Finland and Rumania, as well as Hungary are anxious to make common cause against the Bolsheviki now rather than be compelled to defend them selves individually later. All four countries are understood to have made overtures to France and Great Britain for support moral and otherwise. saa 4 ssg,.
 Gen. Won Ludendorff, former chief of staff of the German army, has offered to raise an army of million and half men to fight the Russian Bolsheviki in exchange for the re- turn to Germany of Posen and an nulment of certain clauses of the Versailles peace treaty, according to a Berlin dispatch to the Paris Journal. The reported offer was made to the British Charge d'Af- faires at Berlin, the dispatch said.
 The Franco British mission to Poland has reported that Poland's situation is not as desperate as first believed. The mission recommends that 600 French and 200 British officers be sent to Poland and that the Polish army on the Northern front be regrouped. Poland's man power is said to be satisfactory.
