Improvement League

The regular meeting of the i'm
provement League was held in the
Rest Room Monday afternoon, April
10. when the retiring officers were
reelected with the exception of Mrs,
d. j. Collins, who declined to serve
as vice-president of the fourth ward
another year, and nominated Miss
Lucy Copley for the position. The
vote was unanimous in her favor.
( Matters of interest were discussed
and acted upon, the result of which
will appear later. You will be inter-
ested to hear some of them now. We
will buy two more iron seats like
those we gave last year for the little
park on Main street. We also appoint
ed committee to ] ok up the cost
and kinds of swings used in other cit
les as we wish to put up several
swings in Glen Park for the children's
pleasure and amusement.
The report given by Mrs. Bennett,
of the number Of books taken daily
from our free library, we felt, JUS
titled us in voting to have another
book case made which will give us
room for twice the number of books
we now have and which we can OBJ
tain from Madison. 1t has been no.
ticed that the dishes in the Lodge in
Glen Park, are getting scarce, either
by breakage or careless removal. Any
one having dishes to donate, please
leave them with Mrs., Bennett at the
Rest Room.
The first Monday in May will be
the time for our next meeting. Don't
forget the date, nor your twenty-five
cents for yearly dues. We need money
to work with.

The Style Show

The Spring and Summer style
show staged by the Stewart Mercan.
tile Co. Saturday afternoon was at.
tended by an audience which packed
the store to extreme capacity, many
having 20 peer over the crowd from
positions outside the doorways.
The attendance was not all local
py airy means, hundreds being drawn
here from neighboring towns and
communities.
| 1t was the universal opinion that
! the display was especially beautiful,
and of great benefit to all who wish
to know how and what to buy and
wear.
The modelling, staged under direc-
ton Of Mrs. Emma Deickman, was
performed very gracefully and prett-
lily by an attractive group of young
ladies and cute and charming troup
of children.
Suits, dresses, coats, wraps, even
ing gowns and "knickers" and other
sport wear were modelled in twelve
acts, by the following young ladies:
Misses Sophia De Mile, Florence
Mclaughlin, Rosa Neevel, Josephine
Smith, Helene Nelson, Mildred Smith,
Helen Churchill, Mildred Heidbrink,
Helen McKahan, Alice Hagenson,
Irene Luberg, Lorraine Nelson and
Lois Tubs. Four models were shown
jp each group.
Children's wear, including gingham,
organizes, coats and capes. were
modelled by Misses Vivian Elliott,
Gwendolyn Hughes, Joyce Heidbrink,
Dorothy Stewart, Helen Stewart,
Margaret Hawkins, Carmen Stewart
ard Mary Letitia Carisch.
At the close of the modelling there
was a special feature display which
was greatly appreciated-Miss jose
Phine Smith in the latest 1922 model
"knicker" suit, and Mrs. l.. M. Brag-
stad in a dress which was in style a
half century ago.
Other excellent features of the af-
ternoon's entertainment were a gar
land dance, by young ladies from the
Normal school, and solos by Misses
Harriet Olson, Virginia Hoeser and
Joyce Heidbrink, the latter playing
her own ukulele accompaniment,
artistically.
The store and show windows, ar
tistically decorated for the occasion,
added much to the general express
sion of style and beauty.

AN INTERESTIN BOOK
ON THE TARIFF QUESTION

Hon. James T. McCleary, former
Member of Congress from Minnesota,
and for fifty years a resident in
Maiden Rock, Pierce County, is auth
or of a volume entitled Protection,
Our Proper Prominent Policy" which
is copyrighted by the National Tariff
Institute of Washington.
Mr.. McCleary's book treats the
tariff subject in a manner which will
appeal to wide range of readers who
desire to be posted on topics of ma
tional Importance.
His manner of treating different
phases of the subject varies from the
usual run of tariff talk, which is, in
most instances a matter of figures
and statistics which only an expert
mathematician can follow. Mr.. Nc
Cleary's work has very little if any
of the argument of figures. 1t deals
with interesting historical facts con-
corning each phase, and his argu-
ments are based upon the interesting
moral and economic facts which his
Investigations have disclosed.
Mr.. McCleary has added a new
chapter to the second edition OF his
book which, it is expected, will come
off the press this month.

COUNTY s. s. RALLY

One topic Of especial interest which
will be presented at the county inter-
UNCONVENTIONAL Sunday School Rally,
to be held in this city, Sunday, Apr
80, is the topic of Week Day Reli-
gious Instruction. This subject will
be discussed by Prof. j. I. Mallott
at the afternoon session, and it should
challenge the attention Of every
thinking man and woman in the COM
munity. Throughout the county the
question of supplementing the teach
ing of the church school by week day
religious instruction is before the peo-
pie and is claiming the interested at
tention of parents, of leaders in the
churches and of educators in general.
Parents and teachers, workers in the
church school and leaders in the pub
lie schools, Catholics and Professionals
ali are cooperating in working out
plans to gain the desired end. Many
communities in our own state, and in
other states, already have put such
plans into operation. 1t is believed
this community is ready for TIE SER
ious consideration of workable plan
which will make possible week day
religious instruction for our boys
and girls. Everyone who can do so,
should hear this discussion

Outdoor Courts

At meeting of the River Fall;
Horseshoe Club, held in Syndicate
Hall Monday evening, it was decided
to continue the organization through
out the summer, with dues at SOC pei
month.
1t was indicated at the meeting
that the lot at the rear of City Hail
will be available for courts, and the
Club will transfer its attentions to
that locality as soon as the weather
permits. The courts in Syndicate
Hall, however, will not be disturbed,
but will be maintained for use in in
clement weather.
After Monday evenings meeting a
match game was played between the

the former winning by rather wide
margin.

tion starred in this match, winning
every game, and Hooking topped the
ringer list with total of 25. Capt.
Fortune and Knobel played consis-
tent string for the losers, allowing
their opponents a 21-score every

of the roads a new series will be
started with out of town teams-New

EARLY MORNING ALARM

The Fire Department was called
out about seven o'clock Tuesday
morning, during the worst part of the
heavy snow storm, to answer an
alarm from the Eldon Nash home on
N. Main street.
A dangerous chimney fire was in
progress, but the flames were quick
ly extinguished by the chemicals.
The sleet had been driven so firmly
into the siren chat it could not oper-
ate, and only the bell responded when
the alarm was turned in.

Look Over The Rod

The breath of spring during the
past two weeks has brought out the
premomitory symptoms of that dead
ly recurring malady Fishing fever"
Once you are bitten by the bug there
is no escape. 1t is as certain to re-
curr at the same time each spring as
is the season to roll around. Now Is
the time to get out the old outfit.
Look over the rod. See that the fer
ules are are all tight. If they are
loose remove them by gently warm
ing over an alcohol flame. Clean out
the ferules inside. Get stick of fer
ule cement from one of the dealers IN
fishing tackle Warm the end of the
rod, the ferule, and the cement. APP
ply cement to the rod and force fer
ule into place. One very sure means
of running the rod is to use it while
the ferules are loose. See that the
windings are in proper condition Ii
the rod is badly "set" there is only
one cure. Take off the windings and
varnish and see that it is rewound and
| vanished properly. This, with little
practice, you can do yourself if you
have the time and patience. Ii not,
any of the tackle dealers can tell you
where you can get it done very salts
factorily for very nominal price.
When reminding your rod see that the
line guides and tip guides are all of
steel instead of soft metal. Soft
guides will ruin an enameled line in
a very short time if used for fly fish
ing.
Take the reel apart, wash it IN
gasoline, and see that it is properly
| creased. If an automatic, use vasa-
line as lubricant. A good reel will
last for years if properly taken care
of. Sand or grit of any kind will des-
troy the usefulness of good reel
in short time. Keep it free from
sand, keep it out of water, keep it
sufficiently oiled, and it will last in
definitely.
| 1t is we'll to discard the last years
leaders. They will be found to be q
delusion and a snare unless they have
been preserved in the most painstak-
ing manner. The matter of caring for
leaders will be covered in later is
sue, as will the proper method of Sc
lection of leaders.
. Look over the line. If it is still
wearing its coat of enamel continu
it in service. Perhaps the end which
, has been used has lost its coating. L

they are weak lay them aside. If the
happen to be tied on eyed hooks the
can be easily resnelled. Gut for thi
purpose can be purchased from tn
sporting goods stores. We will tax
up later the proper manner of RI
smelling.

4 few hours time in preparing your ia,
