The summer coat, like the rest
Of the warm weather wardrobe,
shows great variety in line, fabric
and color. There is a coat for
every occasion, even when il is not
purchased along with its matching
frock.
The dress coats for summer find
silk and crepe chfffons the most
successful means Of establishing
chic. They are made along rather
straight lines and rely upon stitch
Ing. cut and contrasted fabrics for
their variety. colors are wide In
their choice. The dark coat that
was so perfect All accompaniment
for the figured silk dress Of the late
spring may still serve a smart pur-
pose, but is more or less overshad-
owed by the greys and beiges that
are so much In vogue. All white Is
particularly effective and is worn
with both the all white costume or
with the colored silks that will
make the summer season gay.
Black silk and chiffon coats are to
be seen In striking contrast to the
dresses, too.
For sports the mode is even more
liberal In lending variety. Cloth.
silk, linen and cotton fabrics are
seen In all sorts of interesting
weaves and patterns. Colors are
distinctive and their combinations
are apt to be very striking
The lines on the sports coat are
particularly straight and simple.
Unusual pockets. belts, collars and
buttons appearing to advantage tn
creating smart effects.

haired fox skins are used, but share
their favor with coats which rely
upon their own fabric and lines for
distinction.

THE THERMOMETER INDI.

THILL breezes remind that win
- ter is on the way; the raiment
suited to the season must needs
be purchased by those who dress
by the thermometer rather than
the calendar. Unusually warm wea-
Their, for the fall months, has been
enjoyed by all; but merchants
have reported slight slack periods
due to the height maintained By
the mercury.
The winds of the north should
change that. And the merchants
are ready for the winter rush.
Such stacks of delectable merchan-
disc; Such up-to-dateness in style!
Such carefully chosen selections:
Such courteous service! Such fair

the rainy weather which has SEEM

the work, much has been accom-

the job cheerfully and for the

than five hundred dollars had it
been hired by the day. All this has
been donated, largely by the farm

The great task of winning a great

WHY PATRONIZE LOCAL
DEAIERS7

BECAUSE your interests are at
- home. Because the community
that is good enough for you to
live in is good enough for you to
buy in.
Because you should believe in
transacting business with your
friends and neighbors; Because
you want to see the goods you are
going to buy before you buy them.
Because you want TO get what
you buy at the time you pay for
it, and not have to wait for days,
weeks and even months for deliv-
cries.
Because every dollar you spend
at home stays at home and works
for the welfare of the community.
Because the man you buy from
stands back of the goods. Because
the man you buy from pays his
part of the district, county, and
state taxes. -.
Because the man you buy from
helps support your church, your
lodge, your home.
Because when i'll luck. misfor-
tune or bereavement comes, the
man you buy from is here with his
kindliest greetings, his words of
cheer, his pocketbook, if needs be,

October blows a frosty horn
That wakes the farmer in the
morn.
The fields are white. far and near,
And now the harvest time is
here.
And Jack, upstairs, out on the

Drowseiy in bed, hears the alarm
He turns his head, looks at the
clock.
And silently wishes it had
stopped.
He slips on his boots and clothes,
And hurriedly down the stairs
he goes;
The frost bites with nip so keen,
AS he goes out to harness the
team.
The corn all in, as one can see;
Now for the annual husking bee.
Neighbors for miles come in rigs,
And husk It'll the corn's all in
the cribs.
After a fe wshort weeks the lab

Crops stored away, and huskin's

The farmers look with wistful eyes
To the coming of those pumpkin

HOLD-UP OF AUTHOR
TURNS OUT AS Joke
Six British Youths Robbed
Explorer of Suit Case
to Prove Pluck.


s LONDON. January 1.-THE mys-
FERROUS experience of Frederick "A:
Mitchell Hedges, noted explorer and
author, which kept the whole country
in a ferment Saturday, turned out 10
have been a practical joke.
Near Ripley. Surrey, early Friday
morning Mitchell-Hedges and friend
were held up by six men, taken TO a
secluded spot and trussed up. Ine
EXPLORERS suit case, said to contain
valuable documents and some Indian
dried heads. was carried off. The SUIT
case and its contents were returned to
Mitchell HEDGES today intact, and he
agreed to take no action against the
jokers.
Held Up to Show Nerve.
The so-caIled prank arose out of
lecture which the explorer Delivered
recently before the National Liberal
Club. The denouement comes IN
letter signed by a member OF the cluo
addressed to Mitchell Hedges, who has
agreed to keep the writer's name
secret.
The writer says that Hedges has
''priceless black eye as a souvenir
from the roadside encounter. The let
ter goes on to explain: Five young
liberals, besides myself, took sincere
exception TO your remark about the
lack of nerve in the British youth of
today. and we made up our minds
that we would prove the opposite in a
striking way.
Well we have done it. You did
not suspect that the six ruffians who
attacked you in the Gotham woods
were six of those very weaklings you
were reviling for their lack of enter
prise and pluck"
Accepts Affair as Joke.
The letter concludes by consenting
to restore the bag and its contents on
withdrawal of the accusations, and in
viting Mitchell Hedges to come and
address them again.
The explorer said today: Il have
accepted the letter as one gentleman
to another, and realize that il was a
practical joke
With reference to the valuables in
the suit case, he said: The bag con-
tanned a document affecting promi-
nent financial houses, which would
have had serious results to the people
concerned had it been discovered.
