On account of the absence of the
regular pastor, DR.. F. E. Shut,
who has been called to Orion by the

pulpit OF the Methodist church was
supplied at both the morning and
evening services by Rev. L. V. Har-
man, pastor at Wyoming, ILL.,, who
had been enjoying an enforced va
cation because of quarantine con-
ditions in his home city. All who
heard Rev. Mr.. Harmon were well
pleased with his discourses on re-
ligious subjects. A pleasing per-
sonality, good diction and excellent
voice, made forceful and attractive
two sermons, which spoke we'll for
the future possibilities for this
young man.

Association Maintains So Town

pand Work at Once.

During the war girls all over tho
world had their first lesson in nation

Miss Mabel Head, director Of Town and
Country Work for the National wv.
C.. A:
D. "Girls learned something Of tho
inspiration of working with hundreds
and hundreds of other girls. un-
selashly and unstintingly, through Red
Cross work. Now the Y. w. G. A.,
through it's world wide program Of
service for women, Is planning to ex-
pand its work so that girls all over tho
world, and particularly in smaller COM
munities. win not lose this experience.
"Citizenship forums are being organ
lied for girls in small communities,
where girls may come together to learn
more about their country and their re-
sponsibility to It and as citizens Of
the world.
Reading courses have been planned
at National Headquarters in New York
SO that girl in any community may
carry on course of study, either by
herself or with Otner girls, on WIDE
variety Of subjects.
1.-THE Y. w. c. A. has at present thir-
ty-nine secretaries doing county work.
This means that they travel about from
one community to another helping
girls to plan out social, recreational,
educational and religious activities for
themselves and organizing them to car
ry on these activities. These secreta-
ries work with the county agents Of
the Department Of Agriculture in car
rying on home economics work. They
help plan pageants. arrange benefits,
assist the girls in going to Y. W. G. A.
summer conferences and help plan all
sorts Of social good times for the COM

els is from Madeleine ct Madeleine, a
house which is the recent rage of
Paris. The color is black and the
stripes across the front are little tucks
run in by fine hand stitches. Then
there is a plated frill Of the taffeta
about the neck, tied with a ribbon
woven in bright green and gold threads.
The overskirt, low in front and high
at back, is edged with deep fringe
Of monkey fur. The sleeves in this
model are short and puffed.

Of the past few months have done.

The latest fashion in Paris-to
which the eyes Of persons interested
in dress persist in turning in spite of
what America now has to offer Of
its own-include many useful hints to
tho woman who has still to think of
winter clothes, states, a leading fash
Jon correspondent. In the first place,
Paris fashions are apt to indicate what
our fashions will be season or two
hence, and, in these days Of the high
cost Of everything, If one must buy
d frock now, it Is only good sense to
,eee that it is the sort of thing that
lie to be instead Of what has been or
u ceasing to be.
One important assertion from
Paris fashion authority Is that the
lines Of the gowns that the Parisians
have accepted for the winter are
straight instead Of being puffed out in
places. The further the season ad
vances, she states, the more evident
1t becomes that the pannier silhouette
10 not 50 popular, at least In Paris, as
It was expected it might be. For an
astonishing number Of seasons that
have trailed into years the straight
silhouette has been the thing in Paris,
and it looks as though the French
woman Is determined to hang on to
4 mode which so we'll becomes her.
i & Keeping Clear Of Extremes.
The Partisan, too, in her dressing is
Keeping clear>of any extremes in fash
ion. She has always done this more
or less, and she SIS still holding to
the rule that her style once discovered
must be clung to rather than changed
merely for changes sake. The straight
silhouette seems to suit the majority
OF them. They all love it and keep
on wearing it. We in this country
are taking up the style more and more
Us time goes on. Within it's limita-
'tions there are many variations possi-
lble. An infinite variety Of the gowns
can be designed without depending
upon the idea Of straightness.
, Sleeves in Paris are still short--very
short, in fact-there being no disposi-
ton to halfway measures. II they
ARE not very short, they are long and
tight and reach over the hands, fitting
slsnugly all the way. down. sSkirts, too,

lopenings, which means not almost knee

ting the neck snugly.
Trimming In Moderation.
! The trimmings on the Partisan mid
winter frocks are gorgeous and beau
;tiful, but rather sparingly used. Little
|strips Of eilded trimming edge necks
! and sleeves in clever fashion, and
sometimes these edges are repeated on
lpocket flaps or on the edges Of long
slit pockets. Fringe is almost extinct,
lbut there are bits Of it seen on the
ends Of tapping panels or to trim the
abbreviated evening skirt Of an other
wise tightly fitting gown. Embroidery
is more fashionable than ever, though

Taffeta is fast growing in favor,

the popularity Of taffetai for spring
wear in our own country. Tanetas

city of cars. declared an official Of
the Union Pacific at the terminal Of
fees at the transfer. 1--WE can not get
the men," he said. 1--WE have thirty
two switch engines at work in the
yards here and could use twice that
number, but we can not get the
crews to man them nor can we get
the switch crews to follow the en-
gines."
AS the reporter sat talking with
the official, n big moEul engine went
thru the yards dragging a mile-long
string OF empty refrigerator cars.
Referring to the enormous traffic. he
said that the Union Pacific was now
sending an average Of 800 empty re-
frigerator cars to California, where
it was said there are 5000 car loads
OF canteloupes ready for the mar
ket and the shippers yelling their
heads off for cars to move them.
Other demands We're equally as large.
The big elevators have made n
wonderful hole In their grain bins
since the government gave up its
control but elevator men say that
much delay is caused by the neces-
sity OF rehandling damaged corn. and
the driers In those elevators which
are equipped with them are working
night and day on the corn. This corn.
they say. represents q loss Of about
thirty cents n bushel to the owner
who usually has been the country
elevator man.

Des. Moines, June ,17.--Headquart-

early next week for e. T. Meredith,
of Iowa, for president, in charge OF
l. T. Jones and Floyd Miles. both ac-
tive democratic workers. Ambassa-
dor Gerard's name will be linked with
that Of Meredith and the ticket as the
Iowa boosters would like to see it
should be Meredith and Gerard.
Meredith headquarters In this city
for the past several weeks have
mailed out vast amount of cam
paign literature favoring the Des
Moines publisher with the names OF
the delegates and the alternates to
the democratic convention constitute
ing the backbone Of the mailing list.
II the delegates who gather at Frisco
don't know all about the present Sec

unprejudiced observers here hold to
the view that Willtam g. McAdbc
will be the particular opponent which
Meredith must tussle with for dele
gates SUI port.
Former Ambassador Gerard has
been candidate all along for the
nomination for president but has re-
fused to advertise himself to any ex-
tent. Two years ago he was almost
constantly In the public eye 40 the
ambassador to Germany who fought
the Vaccinations OF kaiser Wilhelm
In his diplomatic court. But as Z
candidate for the democratic nomi-
nation for president he has not waEed
an aggressive campaign.
Hence the Meredith hackers are
now suggesting Meredith for presi-
dent and Gerard for vice president.
They declare the Iowa man han az
good or better chances for tho nomi-
nation as any of the men seeking the
nomination. They expect the middle
west and west to be for Meredith
with representative number OF
states In the central and eastern part
Of the country to support him.
