SUMNER SHIRTS
THAT COST NOTHING

Housewives can provide their hus-
bands and sons with shirts for the
summer months without spending
cash for them, The writer has worn
these shirts and considers them the
most sensible and comfortable gar
ment he ever donned during the warm
months.
Nearly every man and boy has
number of discarded shirts-shirts
that have begun to wear where the
stiff collars rub them. There is a
great deal of wear left in these gar
ments if the housewife, or mother,
will repair" them according to the
following directions:
Cut the sleeves off at the elbow,
just high enough not to be used to
wipe off the table when a man places
his elbows on some soiled place. Cut
the neck band off as high in the back
as the goods will permit. Cut around
the neck just low enough to take in
the worn places made by the stiff
collar, Use the goods from the sleeves
to bind the raw edges OF the collar
and sleeves. 1t may be necessary to
add button and buttonhoe at the
neck, the top button of a shirt being
lower than most men care to display
their chests
This shirt is neat in appearance
extremely comfortable, lasts a long
time, easy to wash With a light pair
OF trousers it is most appropriate for
summer wear.
The greatest objection to this style
OF shirt is that after a man wears il

the first Of the week with his wife and
live-year-Old son on an outing trip and
registered at the Baker hotel, caused
considerable speculation for several
days.
The day after his arrival he inquired
where he could likely find good place
to fish and was directed to EXeland and

left town in his car. When he did not
return that night or the next day his

1t was learned that he had been
at EXeland and had gotten dinner
there 1t was feared for a time that
some accident had befallen him, as no
further trace Of him could be found
1t was later learned that he was seen
at Rice Lake. but had left there.
Mrs. Rightmire, believing that her
husband would not return to Lady
smith. left for her home at Kenosha
with her little son to await further in
formation.
Mr. Baker got into communication
with Il. H. Markham at Rhinelander
from which town the Rightmires had
come to Ladysmith, and learned that
Mr.. Rightmire was there.
Mr. Rightmire had received an in
jury to his head some time ago and
had lapses of memory. SO that he could
give no clear account of where he had
been. He thought he had left his car,
a Packard at some town near Prem
tice. but couldn't remember the name
Then he concluded it was at Hiles
where he left it. A trip to Hiles by peo-
pie who took an interest in the case
failed to reveal the car, and it has
not been located to date.
When Mr.. Rightmire was Informed
that his wife had gone to Kenosha he
wired her that he was at Rhinelander
and would start for home at once.
1t was thought for awhile that a

miles this side of Rice Lake, might be
