IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

MarshalItown Times Republican:
Now and then the papers tell of some
Iowa farmer who has given his five
children each a farm. In practically
every case of this kind the giper
started without a cent to his name
and by thrift and hard work gained
the street called easy. Luck didn't
hunt him up and strike him. He kept
standing right where it couldn't go
round him. in the highway of Ameri-
can opportunity.
yinton Eagle: Our notion is that
the Iowa farmer will be wise this
year not to let the candidate inter
fere with the operation OF his plow
and not to let the flim-flamming car
petbaggers of North Dakota talk him
out OF his money.
Council Bluffs Nonpareil: Ex-Goy-
ernor George Clarke has taken the
chafrmanship OF the Hoover organi.
cation in Iowa. Clarke is mighty
good man. and his acceptance OF this
place will add both dignity and
strength to the Hoover movement in
this state.
Webster City FreemanJ Journal:
If the Judgment of the press OF the
state is any criterion, Senator Cum
nlinss will be renoninated by the
largest majority ho ever received
The republican newspapers are al
most unit for him. We believe all
the people, outside the labor unicns
and other organizations which have
axes to grind and are seeking special
privileges. will look at the matter
Just as the newspapers do.

The action of the railroad brotherhoods IN

.mended If the unions expect the public to hold
in good estimation the collective bargaining
they do, they have prime interest In making
such bargains binding The strike in Chicago
and elsewhere is in direct violation of agree
Iments made and the brotherhoods rightly are
cooperating with the railroad managers to
break it, This is more than they ought to
do. If more Of this sort of thing is forthcom-
ing. collective bargain will gain in considera-
ton from both management and public.

C0QUETTE SET new FASHION
Favorite Of French Monarch Respon-
sible for Couture Which Became
a Universal Style.

Styles have had queer origins, and
none more unique than the fontagne.
style of hair dressing popular in the
early part of the eighteenth century.
The dressing consisted largely of do
ing the hair high and binding it in
place with jeweled fillet or ribbon.
At one time it was worn by every lady
in the court Of Louis XIV, and from
there it spread to all parts OF the CIV
flied world where fashion reigned.
The manner Of its origin is this:
The king went for a ride one morn
ing with Mile. de Fontagne, lovely
girl with whom the king was madly in
love, and who was not cold to his ad-
vances. In fact she shortly took her
place rs his favorite. AS they rode,
her hair came tumbling down, and
there is reason to believe the little CON-
edy that followed had been staged in
In advance, even to the loOsening Of
the pins that allowed her beautiful
tresses to escape. At any rate, the
lady slipped from her horse, and with
q laugh lifted her skirts and took off
a jeweled garter which she bound
around her hastily replied hair. The
King was delighted with the by-play.
Aud upon arriving at the palace an
bounced the mode the most becoming
IN the world. Within "a hours every
Soquette and matron in the court had
adopted the fashion.
