THERE ARE TWO
NOLAN BILLS
Political Liars See Fine Chance to
MisIead Voters by Speaking
of One While Meaning
the Other.
TBy Smith D. Fry.1

WASHINGTON, May 26.-May De
YOU have read that oft-auoted linz:
lord, how this world is given to
1ying!'
One of the most successful forms
of lying is the telling of part OF
the truth; just enough truth to make
It easy to pass of lie on credu-
Ious listener. Here is an example.
One of the best bills ever INTRODUCED
in the congress is 1.-The Nolan bill; !"
bill which provides that no en-
ploye of the federal government shall
receive less than three dollars each
day That bill meets with your ap-
prevail Don't it?
Well, the same congressman has
introduced another bill of an en-
tirely different nature, bill without
merit and one which would impover-
ish many farmers. But, having been
introduced by the same man it is
called the Nolan bill" and everyone
who opposes this miserable camou-
tfage of crook edness is denounced b.
the hackers Of the rotten Nolan bill,
and every conceivable effort is being
made to convince the people, pat
ticularly the farmers, that the good
Nolan bill is being opposed
This rotten Nolan bill would levy
tax on every farm in Iowa, and
unfairly. It would tax the use Of
lands of value Of $4,000 and over.
Just think of that! Every farm in
Iowa is growing into that value, if it
has not yet quite reached it. Every
improved forty acre farm in Iowa is
worth that amount This bill would
place a tax Of one percent on every
such farm.
Every Woodworking and successful
purpose Of this bill to raise upwards
| of six hundred million dollars every
year, off of the farming lands Of this
country. Agriculture Is to be taxed
| to pay all of the expenses or the big
war; and this will lessen all of the
taxes of city lots and city industries.
The Nolan bill is a shrewd and sneak
ing effort to rob the agriculturists of
| this country. And, the old cry of the
criminal is being used to help pass
the bill Robbers in daylight often
go yelling down the streets shouting
"Stop tn ief," and getting people to
run after an imaginary thief while
the real thief escapes.
| These city corporations which are
| back Of this rotten Nolan bill are
shaking their fists and making angry
faces at Senator Cummins because he
opposes this insidious attack upon the
| farmers But the Iowa farmers are
not going to be misled in that way.
Senator Cummins is protecting AMI
will continue to protect the farmers.
They understand the situation, AMI
will stand by Senator Cummins, o.

HOW CANARIES
--- ARE TRAINED
Henri GaiIlard, a Frenchman, Tells
How He Teaches Little Birds to
Sino-Lessons Continue From
TWO to Six Months.

r Parisians are so passionately fond
OF canaries that it is estimated there
are one hundred thousand Of these
birds in the city. Writing in the
Wide World magazine, Henri Gail
lard, the famous French canary
trainer gives some interesting par.
ticulars regarding his method of
teaching his pets to sing.
The musical training Of my
pupils" he says, "is conducted with
the aid of a bird whistle or fageole;.
fortnight after the young bird has
learned to feed itself it is put into
solitary cage. where, if IT is a male,
it soon begins to MARBLE. The cage
is then covered with white muslin
and it's occupant is fed on COLA seed

Su1tS 49.5O to l25.0O

From the dashing Eton, with it's plated skirt, to the very business-like suit for the women with conventional bent, there is fulfillment of your spring ideal of what a tailored suit ought to be. And prices that are also in ac- cord with your ideas of thrift.
 Notwithstanding the displays of novelty col ored suits, you have seen, navy blue ls as eyer, the preferred shade for the now pres ent spring and the rapidly approaching sum- mer season.
 Both the Eton and the more conservative suit jackets indicate a vogue for beautiful em- brodery effects. While many fashionable suits are made with plaited skirts, your suit may have plain skirt and still be fashion able.

dresses 49.50 to 125.00

Spring has brought frocks that are very 1885 in their style Fashion, like style repeats it. self and the spring frocks, as many. fashion wise persons see them, hint of the quaintness of Colonial days. To be explicit, more ruff fles make their appearance, while drapings and puffings out at the hips add to the sug gestion of fo' de wah-ness
 Taffeta, possibly because of it's utility and maybe because of it's adaptabiity, is the one fabric of which it can be said is more favored than the others. Following closely are foul lards, meteors, georgettes, jersey and, as al- ways, pretty crepe de chine
 Fashion has generously allowed many varia- tions to creep into her spring frocks so that one may be correct in the frock of that type which becomes her most

skirts l5.OO to 5000

Beautiful fantasi is directly responsible for the popularity that the separate skirt will en- joy not only when coatless days arrive, but immediately The separate skirt tendency calls for spring sports coats; combination which has proved a rival to the full suit. One invests wisely and we'll when the pur- chase of spring skirt is made here. Just glance through the glass doors into the skirt cases. Your eyes will be greeted with wealth of color and beauty that will imme- diately suggest to your mind many striking combinations with the assistance of well chosen blouses.
 To be new a skirt may be plain or plaited It may be fantasi or plaid serge. To be sure that your skirt is newest, come here for it.

coats 39.5O to 10000

Little wonder that the importance of spring coat in the spring wardrobe of a smartly dressed woman grows year by year. Little wonder that s'the woman who knows" has or will choose her very necessary spring coat here.
 When you come here for your coat you have choice of fashions best The coat that will contribute both fashion and protection this season will be very smart, swagger affair. It will be short, with rakish flare below the waist and very necessary snugness above the belt. Oh, yes, there must be belt, a narrow belt, either of leather or of the same material as the coat.
 The new coats are made of kittens ear,'' camels hair, wool velour and silver tipped. Some quarter, some full; all beautifully lined.
