Talk Of a recall! Well! !
Well! !! A prominent Mankato
man, and a former city official,
stated to the Free Press this
morning that a certain man in
this city presented a petition for
the recall of Mayor w. 4. Beach
and the entire city council with
the exception of Councilman
Chris Steiner to him for his sig
nature. The gentleman refused
to sign the paper, stating that
the paper contained no grounds
for the recall.
1t was stated, however, that
the paper contained about four
hundred names. II is understood
that the first paper circulated
has been destroyed and another
petition is to be gotten out.
According to the informant Of
Ere Press, the alleged grounds
for the recall is failure to root
out the moonshiners and a num-
Der of other things.
Mayor w. A. Beach was out

 While the state is free from the weevii at this time the interchange of commerce makes it possible to bring in the weevil, either by the movement of freight cars or by auto mobiles travelling through an infect ed district, MT. Mote said. The al- falfa growing section of Utah has the weevil, while Idaho and several coun- ties in Colorado and Oregon are not free from the pest Recently the al- falfa weevil was found in large num- bers over Reno field. Last year if was found in small fields in Reno and it was presumed that the weevi1 was brought in by means of hay carried with shipments of livestock for show ing at the state fair. It is to prevent such an occurrence here that MT. Mote has decided to put extra men on the force for this work.

in graceful fragrance from ceiling to wall.

SONS. The bridesmaids, in their flowing
white gowns, seemed almost unreal, and
the little fower-girls looked like tiny fair
les as they scattered flowers along the car
peted aisle. 1t was superb! / firmly
believed that there was nothing left in all
the world to wish for. The organist re-
ceived the cue, and with low, deep chord
the mellow strains of the triumphant we'd
ding march began.
Perhaps it was the beauty of the scene.
Perhaps it was the strains of the wedding
march. Perhaps it was my overwhelm-
ing happiness. At any rate, the days of
rehearsal and planning vanished in blur
Of happy forgetfulness, and before I real
lied what was doing, l had made an awful
blunder I had made mistake right at
the beginning of the wedding march, des-
pite the weeks of careful preparation and
the days of strict rehearsal.

Blunders in Etiquette
at the Dance

Bob glanced over the chapter called
Etiquette at the Dance. "Why, DEAR he
exclaimed, 81 never knew how to dispose
of my dancing partner and return to you
without appearing rude-and here it's all
explained so simply" We read the chap
ter together Bob and |, and we found out
the correct way to ask a lady to dance and
the polite and courteous way for her to re-
fuse it. We found out how to avoid that
awkward moment after the music ceases
and the gentleman must leave his partner
to return to his escort We even discovered
the correct thing for a young girl to do II
she is not asked to dance.
1--WE will find invaluable aid in our
Encyclopedia of Etiquette" l said to
Bob 1T tells us just what to do, what to
say, what to write and what to wear at all
times. And there are two chapters, L sec,
on foreign countries that tell all about
tips, dress, calling cards, correspondence
addressing royalty and addressing clergy
abroad, Why, look, Bob, it even tells
about the dinner etiquette III France,
England and Germany. And see, here Is
a chapter on wedding etiquette-the very
mistake | made is pointed out! Oh, Bob,
if had only had this wonderful book l
would never have made that blunder!"

One Little Mistake

blunder l was making caused a pang of
regret that had not read up somewhere,
about the blunders to be avoided at we'd
ding ceremonies. A hot blush of humili-
alton surged over me-and with crimson
face and trembling lip began the march
all over again.
1t all happened so suddenly. In a
moment it was oyer. And yet, that
blunder had spoiled my wedding day!
Everyone had noticed it, they couldn't
help noticing it, All my rehearsing had
been in vain, and the event that 1 had
hoped would be the browning glory of my
life proved miserable failure.

My Advice to Young
Men and Women

The world is harsh judge. To be
admitted to society, to enjoy the company
of brilliant minds and to win admiration
and respect for oneself, it is essential for
the woman to cultivate charm and for
} the man to be polished, impressive. And
only by adhering to the laws Of etiquette
is it possible for the woman to be charm
ing and for the man to be what the world
loves to call a gentleman.
I would rather lose thousand dollars
than live through that awful moment of my
wedding again Even now, when l. think
of it, l blush. And So my advice to young
men and women who desire to be cultured
rather than coarse, who desire to impress
by their delicacy of taste and tinesse of
breeding, is" send for the splendid two-
rolume set Of the Encyclopedia Of Eth
quetteH'
Send for it that you may know the
correct thing to wear at the dinner. and
the correct thing to wear at the ball. Send
for it that you may know just what to
do and say when you overtum cup OF
coffee on your hostess table linen. Send
for it that you may know the proper way
to remove fruit stones from your mouth,
the cultured way to use a finger-bowl and
the correct way to use napkins. Send for
it, in short, that you may be always, at all
times, cultured, well bred and refined; that
you NAV do and say and write and wear
only what is the best of form and utterly
in accord with the art of etiquette.
Encyclopedia of Etiquette is excellent
in quality, comprehensive III proportions,
rich in illustrations. 1t comes to you as a
guide, revelation toward better etiquette.
1t dispels lingering doubts, corrects
blunders, teaches you the right thing to do.
