The winter wrap is beginning to
take on important airs for it will
soon be too cold for light weight
suits and coats and heavy wraps
will be a necessity. Soft fabrics,
rich fur trimmings and roomy lines
are. the features to be noted in the
new winter coats. Sleeves are
varied to suit every within, but are
always large and roomy, often
featuring armholes which extend to
the hips.
This wrap which is designed for
dress wear is far from extreme and
yet it is different enough from the
more tailored modes to make one
feel right in it no matter what the
occasion. Austrella cloth is the
material and navy blue the color
The side fastening is marked by
two huge fancy buttons and by a
side drape edged with fur. Rows
of stitching outline the armholes
and the collar and cuffs are of

tex in an oriental design which
adds both beauty and warmth.

was grass fire at Twenty-fifth
street and Twelfth avenue. No
damage resulted The alarm box
was pulled twice resulting in the
emergency call whistle at the pow
erhouse being blown, and rumors
soon spread to the effect that the
whole east end of Moline was a
mass of flames.
This was the fourth grass fire
reported within "a hours. Chief J.
@. Hawk issued an order to the eff
feet that persons in the residential
section must watch bonfires until
they have died out, or else extin-
guish them. The abundance of dry
leaves, the Halloween spirit and
the fact that there is no school
this week are responsible for the
increased number of fires, the fire
chief believes.

60 FARMERS AND
FAMILIES THANK
GODFOR BIG CROP

New England, N. D., Oct. 31.-The
wheels of time turned backward
three hundred years here Sunday,
: when an entire village forgot the
dizzy pace Of the modern world and
knelt, as did their Puritan fathers,
to give thanks to the Divine Father
that granted them a bountiful har-
vest.
For four years farmers of this
community watched their crops
wither and die. Last spring the
community joined in common
prayer for successful season. Yes
terday the people gathered again to
give thanks to the Divinity, who
had granted their prayer.
Pastors of the Catholic, Congre-
gational and Lutheran churches led
the thanksgiving service in the
large gymnasium of New England
public schools, when 500 farmers
and their households who are not
too busy to believe in modern
miracles" turned their voices into
the old hymn of harvest and
thanksgiving, Come, Ye Thankful
People"
The harvest of the last season
has been the most bountiful in the
history of this community.
