"A has a diamond ring set in a gold
mounting is looking forward to the day
when she can have that diamond reset
In platinum. The only difficulty is that
the cost is 50 great. And It Is said Of
white gold settings that they do not
hold their Color us platinum does. The
reason for that, so am told, Is that
most of the white gold mountings are Of
fourteen karat gold. White gold OF
eighteen karat, however, is an entirely
different matter, and not only looks
exactly like platinum, but keeps the
color. This has been told me by little
shop that has number of eighteen
karat white gold mountings In square
and hectagonal shapes. I examined
them myself, So that I know they are
really good, and the shopkeeper will do
your work for you for $3.50. And
need not say that the shop does very
good work, and Is entirely reliable.
Nhavc seen several sales Of crepe de
chine In my travels here and about,
but think the best value have found
is in shRp. that is selling crepe de
chine for S.45 a yard. II comes In
virtually every shade and color, from
pink and white for underwear to dark
colors for dresses, blouses or negligees.
1t Is, II remember correctly, yard
wide-or possibly forty inches-and,
while not that heavy crinkly crepe, is
nevertheless of very good quality, and
would answer great many purposes.

house and in some way got hold of
and upset his mothers work basket
and at the same time lost his balance
and fell, with the result that a darn

below the knee Joint. His mother i'm
mediately came to his relief and got
part of the needle, but the needle had
broken off. He was immed ately taken
to Winner, where x-ray pictures were
taken and it. was discovered that about
an inch of the needle still remained
in the little fellows leg. He was
taken to Sioux City, Tuesday, by his
mother, where an effort will be made
to extract the remaining part of the

ONLY TWO MORE WEEKS

We have no new entries to report III
the Corn Club this week, although
we have heard rumors of a number of
boys who are intending to make ent
rles, but we never count an entry
until it is actually made. Every year
there are number of boys who Gin
tend to enter the club, but they
keep putting it off until it is too late
and Of course are then barred. This
year will prove to be no exception,
but our rules are iron-clad, and unless
entries reach us by May l you are
going to lose out. There is no good
excuse why entries should not be
made on time.
Some of the girls, w" understand,
are considering very seriously of max
ing entries in our Thrift Club, but up
to the present time we have received
no entries. We believe the Thrift club
has great possibilities, but of course if
there are not sufficient number of
entries we will have to drop the pro-
ject this year.
The following are the entries re-
ceived in the Corn Club up to date:
julius Balint, Wood
Fred Mueller, White River.
Ivan Crisman, Stamford.
Lloyd f. Crisman, Stamford.
