Work Before Community.

AT n Boston chamber of commerce
luncheon, the secretary, besides pre-
senting a list of thirty-four projects,
including that for the erection of a
Liberty memorial, which are being
considered by committees or special
representatives of the chamber, offer
ed five suggestions for what the or
g%anization calls its "One Big job"
"A city," he said, .'is not made by
is made by the thought of the COM
munity. Our community should think
and act as one Our list of thirty-four
tasks makes up a sane, progressive,
constructive program, but is there one
of the ~thirty-four that is big enough
to challenge the attention of the com
munity? Is there one fine enough to
be the least common denominator of
the communicating enough that all
the organizations of the city may join
with us in its handling-big enough to
characterize the dignity of the organ
lzation-big enough to require a point
of contact established with every fam
lily, if not every soul, in the COM
munity?
what is our one big job? Is it to
build a new library? Is 1t to promote
better Industrial relations? Is it to
build a new high school? Is it to urge
commission government? Is 1t to at
tack anarchy and bolshevism in our
community"

COST OF HORSE BLEMIsHEs
Defects Cannot Always Be Prevented
but One Bad Spot viii Prove
Expensive.

A horse market report from one Of
the Western selling points says
when present, blemishes take Off up
to $50 or V e more from the price of
first-rate animals of the same type"
Blemlshes can't always be prevented,
but It is good business to try to pre-
vent them, for, as car readily be seen,
one bad spot in the makeup of a
horse may mean the difference be-
tween profit and loss on him. Outside
of precautions to prevent injury the
only safeguard against blemishes is
to breed only sound mares to sound
stations. Sometimes n colt will be
CURLY or otherwise defective. in spite
of all that can be done to avoid such
weaknesses, but that Is no argument
against trying to produce only the
good ones.

holding the edges together evenly and
sewing them by overcasting the

should cut and fit an interlining, If
one is TO be used, or take a cheap
cambria and cut and fit 1t by the pat
tern selected, making any alterations
necessary. The fur is to be cut by
alterations. Experimenting must be
done in the lining and not in precious
furs. For the silk lining, crepe-de-
chine, certain taffetas, and japanese
silks prove very durable.
A short Goa of striped fur INC one
of sealskin are shown in the picture,

There Is some midwinter millinery
that says hail and farewell almost
in the same breath-appearing as the
last development of winter styles and
disappearing to make way for the
demiseason hats that precede those for
spring. The different types of MILL
merry are represented in these last ex-
ponents of the seasons ideas, as street
hats. dress hats and picture hats.
A hat that will prove equal to almost
any sort of wear appears in the very
elegant street model Mt the top of the
group pictured above. 1t has n stiff,
smoothly covered crown of tan satin
and an Uneven brim, turned sharply up
at the left side, faced with black vel
vet. There are folds of satin forming
n band about the crown. and jet motifs
applied Mt the front and sides. The
shape and colors used in this hat pro-
claim 1t a street model made of ma
terials that will place It in the ranks
of dressier hats and allow 1t to be
very useful.

AS pelts are becoming more and
more precious. and even those that
are considered ordinary and plentiful,
continue to advance in price. the own
er of a fur coat looks upon 1t as an
investment that increases constantly
in value. 1t is hard to predict any
thing about the future prices of furs.
but people who are well Informed
say there Is no chance of their falling
Cor some time to come; the chances
ire that they will continue to go up.
N view of this, short fur coats have
advantages over all others because
they cost less, are very smart and
present a chance TO remodel partly
worn long coats into something that
Is stylish and new.
Some furs are difficult to maxi up
or to remodel because the skins must
be matched" that is put together so
that the joining is hardly ~perceptible
IN the fur side. These require a pro-
.fessional furrier's services when coats
are to be changed or remodeled. 9th
er furs that do not require match
ing" car be handled by the average
dressmaker or good needlewoman
quite successfully. The furrier's tools
are few and simple. They include n
short, very sharp knife for cutting
the fur OF the skin side, special tri-
an lular needles for sewing, chalk for
marking and strong thread. Home
dressmakers use razor blades for cut
ting and buy needles and thread of
the right sort.

Fine for Porkers.

When the pigs are about three
weeks old they will wan to eat more

molasses. Drive the little pigs care
fully over to the trough. They will

For Better School Sanitation.

School sanitation is one of the things
which the community needs to investi-
gate in many cases. Results from
many counties show that the elemen-
tary schools have a harmful effect on
the health of the children. 1t has been
found that for a period of twenty
years the gain in weight is much
greater during vacation than during
the school year.. 1t is estimated that
the factors causing this are sanitation,
air, water and light, physical exercise,
over strain and fatigue and insufficient
food.

Post Dispatch Would Defeat Demo
Gratis Who Prevented Unjust
Increase Of Taxes on Farm
Lands and Town

The st. Louis Post-Dispatch says
that John l.. Sullivan should be de.
fcateu for Secretary OF State and
State Treasurer Geo. II. Middelkaml
should be defeated for State Auditor
Mr.. Sullivan was renominated by the
Democratic party without Oppose.
ton, and MIR. Middelkamp, who Il
noW State Treasurer, was nominated
for State Auditor by plurality al.
most as large as the combined vote
cast for the three Democrats who op-
posed him. The sin of these two
democrats. AS the Post-Dispatcll
points out. is that they voted agatns
4 full assessmen OF farm lands and
city real estate. while money. notes
and bonds are assessed at about one
twentieth OF their value. The
Post Dispatch has selected George l..
iiackmann. the Republican nominee
for State Auditor to succeed himself,
as a man worthy of reelection on
the ground that as a member of the
State Board of Equalization he voted
for high valuations.
1t is not likely that Mr.. Hac kmann
will thank the Post-Dispatch Tor
singing him out as worthy OF r.
election because he voted for high
valuation of farm lands, while Attor-
General McAllister, Secretary of
State Sullivan aud State Treasurer
Middelkamp voted to equalize valua-
ton. to the end that the man who
owned a little farm or home in some
city would not pay any more on the
valuation of his property than the
millionaires would pay on their high
priced stocks.-From Jefferson City
Democrat Tribune, August 20. 1870.
