From 10 to 20 spring pigs were
stolen from the Greenslit pen across

that they were carted away in trucks.

Between $500 and $500 worth of
musical instruments and supplies
were taken from the New Edison shop
in Mortified last week by thieves of
unknown identity. The theft took
place sometime before 10 o'clock in
the evening. Entrance had been gain

and the rear door opened for their
exit. Evidently the thieves were
familiar with musical instruments
for they had picked out the best

the bowl should be cut somewhat
larger than the wooden spoon. Slash
1t nearly to the edges, turn slashed
part into the inside of the bowl and
glue tight. If the material is thick
enough for the glue not to come
through, the fabric may be glued to
the handle of the spoon. But If this
is not the case. it is wiser to fold it
about the handle and seam it with
very fine stitches. Still another way
to cover the handle is to glue the
edges to the wood and over the seam
glue delicate passeme nterie, which
should be brought around the entire

forms a very attractive finish.
Dainty Embroidery.

By ID. C. PEATTTE.
Wild Fruits.

There Is a belief. for which know
not how to account, that persimmons
and paWpaws are not good until the
frost has nipped them. It Is true that
they generally ripen along about frost
time, but this circumstance is acct
dental, or nearly so. Fruits ripen
when they have had enough sunny
days to complete the alchemy that
goes on within them. Just about the
time Of the consummation Of warm
days along comes frost and perhaps,
just perhaps, frost gives to fruits, in

than most people suspect. Besides
persimmon and pawpaW, about which
there Is an infinite amount to say,
we have wild apple, wild cherry and
wild plum. There are apples that have
run wild, turned back from the pale
of culture to barbaric habits, and
there are, too, the little wild crabs.
It cannot be said of either Of these
fruits that they measure up to the
standard of the orchard apple. And
our wild cherries, too, are apt to be
sour, but in the wild plum we have
fruit that for beauty of shape and
color and sweetness and juiciness Of

ence of any garden plum; in fact

low in the back.
There are at least two ways Of
adapting the spoon to the dainty ac-
CeSsory. 1t can be painted or it can
be covered with silk or fabric and then
the large down puff glued into the
hollow bowl portion of the spoon. 1t
is now ready for the sale,
The price it comman nds, however, is
in proportion to the decoration of the
handle. A plain painted spoon, with
the powder puff glued in, is too utili-
tartan in appearance to make a wom-
an feel she must own it. But an eX-
Quisitely ornamented back and handle,
either hand-painted or embroidered or
richly covered with silk brocade. is
another thing. So if you wish to sell
these unique powder puffs make them
SIS dainty as the Parisians do. Then
they will be exquisite affairs. creating
demand by their beauty as we'll as

Painted Holders.
If you have artistic ability, the
painted handles can be charming.
The broad center of the back should
have some fancy decoration, either
conventional or realistic. This can be
original in design or traced and
adapted to its use. The most i'm.
portant factor. however. Is to have
the colors pleasing. These may be
bizarre and smart or esthetic and
choice. Since gold Is now introduced
into motifs lavishly, some touches of

Danny Meadow Mouse, riding in an

he was being carried. Maybe I'll

I'll be carried somewhere and then

Finally the truck stopped. Danny

Danny felt the crate lifted out of
the truck and carried a short distance
and then put down. He judged that 1t
had been carried into some place.
After that, all was quiet. Danny began
to wonder where he was. He wanted

climbed up to the top. He pushed his

International Interest In
Sports Changes An
Entire Mode
The Formally of the "Roaring Nineties'
Completely Passes

Lenglen's sleeveless froek and Helen's
trim little two-piecs outfit were the
beginning. A few days after their
first game the ultra spectators were
wearing similar costumes-then spec
tators and participants the world
over took up the fashion.
In the wake Of the sports frocks
came the sports undertakings. The
abbreviated panties, the shorter
vests, the combination step-ins. And
as usual, the first to present the new
fashions to America was no other
than Kayser. They are ever alert TO
a new trend, and very wise. too. for
never do they lose sight Of the old

Kayser quality Is the soul Of de-

made Of all pure silk and dyed with
pure dyes and the underwear is cut
to fit-not skimped-with the ex-
elusive Kayser "Marvelfit"' feature
that is further assurance Of longer
wear and better fit.
With the sports costumes, gloves
have come into their own again.
That seems like a paradox-but you
never can analyze some Of the
vagrant ways Of Dame Fashion. It's
as much a breach Of all fashion
etiquette to be seen without gloves as
it Is to eat with knife.

THE history Of q style is often as

one equally inconsequential, may
emanate an idea that revolutionizes
the style Of nations. The opening Of

revelation Of prehistoric art inf1u-
enced the mode by ths geometrical
designs Of things Egyptian. The
Great War brought an era Of tailored.

The victory and gaiety brought the
reign Of frivolous fashions-rich

INVESTIGATING CONGRESS-

Congressman Thomas of Oklahoma took
somewhat novel line few days ago. when he put
in a request that Congress should investigate itself
He felt that many complaints are heard about the
way these lawmakers do their work, and that these
complaints should be looked into and be either
proved or disproved
If Congress is wrong or partly wrong, he felt
it should take notice of its faults and if is not
wrong, then the public should be assured of that
fact There will be many who will say this is a
good idea, and that congress might we'll investigate
its own methods instead of some of the many sup
posed evils it has inquired into.
The American people are not noted for rever-
ence for their public officials. If the government
is good on the whole, it is unfortunate if people
are not disposed to respect it. But the custom of
railing at and deriding Congress is common, and it
is generally felt that there is much ground for
criticism in the doings the failures of prin-
cipal legislative assembly.
And yet one can not doubt that the congress
