for the surrender of Elmer S. Huckins

fraud warrant, as soon as certified
copies of the warrant are received here
from Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
r. A. Miner of Cedar Rapids, an
attorney for Huckins, who left his es-
tate near here earlier in the week and
has not since been located, indicated
that Huckins would submit to arrest
under fugitive proceedings, which would
necessitate an extradition hearing be-
fore Gov. Kohler. The governor now
is Ill at Rochester, Mimi, and the case
probably could not come before him
for several weeks.
Miner said he had reached an agree
ment for the amount of bail to be
furnished The certified warrant is ex-
pected here probably tomorrow after
noon or Monday, and Miner said the
financier would surrender then.

LIGHTFOOT THANKS PETER


 By Thornton W. Burgess Thanks cost little, but mean much: Don't forget the need of such.
 Old Mother Nature.
 Lightfoot the Deer long ago learned that his life often depended on prompt action on his part. So the instant he heard Peter Rabbits danger signal he bounded to his feet and was away without waiting to see what the danger was. It was enough for him that there was dan ger. The thing to do was to get away from it and to find out about it afterward. He didn't even know that Peter had intended that signal for him. But he acted just as if he had known that.
 When he bounded out of that : thicket he ran a short distance up- wind. His nose told him that there was no danger in that direction. Had there been any enemy in that direction the scent would have come to him. But after he had gone far enough to be sure that he was safe from any enemy that might have been approaching the thicket where he had been lying, he began to cir cle. Do you know why he was doing this? It was so that he might get around back of anyone who was coming from behind him and 50 get their scent
 Lightfoot the Deer can move with lotr he <o 10. He did now. His big ears were forward and very wide, to catch every little sound. He made quite a wide circle, so that finally he was some distance back of that thicket he had 50 recently left. Then once more he began to move up-wind to- ward that thicket And now his deli- cate nose was testing every bit of air. Suddenly he stopped and stood very still. Buster Bear." he ex- claimed under his breath. T smell him! He is in that thicket now. He must have been stealing Up on me when Peter thumped. So that's it! Well. he didn't get me, thanks to Peter Rabbit. l wonder where Peter is.'
 Now that the danger was over, lightfoot was no longer frightened. He knew that there was no chance for Buster Bear 10 catch him that day and he knew that Buster knew it. He knew that Buster would go off about other business. So Light foot began to wander about aimless- ly. Later. he would return to that thicket and resume his interrupted rest. Presently a little brown form with white tail. came bobbing down the Crooked Little Path Lightfoot whistled. The little brown form stopped bobbing and abruptly sat up.
 T was looking for you. Peter Rabbit" said Lightfoot.
 That's nothing" replied Peter T was looking for you. Did you zee Buster Dear?"
 No" replied LiKhtfoot. but ] smelled him and that was enough. I am ever 50 much obliged to you. Peter"

THE CHIIDREN'S TABLE
By ALICE HUDSON PEALE

By ALICE HUDSON IEALE
 In many homes prevails an excel lent custom Of giving the children an early supper which they eat by themselves. Children must go 10 bed betmes and must content them- selves with a simple meal and an ultra wholesome dessert of stcwed fruit.
 It therefore is better that they should not have 10 sit through the dinner of their elders and watch the consumption of all sorts of 1n- teresting dishes of which they may not partake.
 Yet this early supper of the chll- drcn is frequently eaten off the litter of dinner preparations There is no attempt to give the meal any suggestion of quiet and dignity
 How can we expect table manners from youngsters who eat at least one meal q day from 2 messy table, without napkins or cloth, m the midst of confusion' No wonder they disgrace us with their aWk- ward, spilly manners when we are rash enough to take them visiting.
 The children should have a table Of their own in the dining room -one which, while prettily finished, may be washed clean as often as need be. The table should be set carefully. with dollies, oilcloth or linen. but always scrupulously clean. carefully. with doiIics. ollcloth or paper, but always fresh and neatly folded at each place.
 If the grown ups of the family have candles on their dinner table, V hy should not the children. too. enjoy such soft and gracious light? Even a spray of flowers or little fern is quite as much appreciated on the chldrens table as on that of their elders.
 The addional fastidiousness re- quircs only q few moments of extra work. and the suggestion to good manners is much more effective than that given by correction and criticism

Paris. April 1o.-I have often wondered at the lack of harmony between 2 man and g Nomans dress There have been times without num- Der when l have felt utterly dis mayed at the sight of a woman en- tering fashionable restaurant in full evening dress. wrapped in cost ly furs, precious stones gleamlng in the ligh. and escorted by man in a lounge suit! The contrast is in- variably disagreeable and in poor taste.
 Now that We have almost re- sumed our pre-War balanced way of living or. if you will have II, leading q more normal life. it oc- CUTS 10 mo that it would be fitting 10 resume some of our pre-War traditions regarding dress adapt- ed, of course, 10 our modern ideas.
 The Inelesant Male
 The modern expression Of a mans dress is far from beautiful, but il does not become a woman to mako this more evident by wearing clothes that will make it conspicuous,
 A we'll dressed woman should possess at least three types of eve ming ensembles, With these she can meet any eventualitv and be well dressed without being over dressed.
 For some unknown reason. man is allowed these days to dine in certain chic cabarets or res taurants wearing a lounge suit and soft collar. His companion obviously must wear dress in dicating it's 'evening" character - she will probably dance during or after dinner and yet it has to bn sober in line, cut and fabric in view of her escorts clothes. The ensemble l thought out for such an event is made of taffeta, black and with it is worn dressy aigrette trimmed hat but practically no jewels.
 Night Club Influence
 Dinner and q theater usually prompts man to wear dinner jacket. He knows that after the theater it is likely that his party will visit a number of fashionable night clubs. Although entirely in- . formal, these night places are fre- quently very smart. There will L.r .J a woman's dress is always noticed. Here. too, she must take care not 10 be overdressed for the occasion. A black seorectte ensemble seemed 10 me to be an answer 10 the problem of these semi-formal affairs. With this ensemble an elaborate turban as well as q number of diamond bracelets can be worn. if woman so desires.
 E'ormaIity Easily Achieved For formal functions. the prob lem is easily solved. On such oc- casions. all the old traditions re- garding clothes are revived and as q fitting accom- paniment 10 a man in full evening dress his woman companion is obliged 10 wear just as formal a gown. The lines of a mans evening coat are good: they are long, flowing, slenderiz- ing.
 l have created type" gown for fundrcss affairs and as such l think it harmonZes perfectly with the clothes men wear on such occasions. II is the only time, perhaps, where man is really dressed and if is q woman s duty 10 look the best that she and 1 her couturier can achieve.

 There are as many charms and magical formulas for the removal of warts as there are different races and tribes of human beings. All Of these charms are based on the fact that warts sometimes disappear without any treatment whatever, go- ing away as mysteriously as they have come.
 Cause Unknown
 The exact cause Of warts is not definitely known. Some people believe that they have their origin in a nerve stimulus 10 the skin, others that they are associated with the action Of some special germ. All of the cures Of warts that in volve burying something at q dis tance or the reciting Of charms Of one sort or another are relics Of the days when people believed in magic.
 Among English country people warts are cured by touching them with stones, peas, rags and so on, and then throwing the substance away or burying it at crossroa d where the chance of someone else picking up the disease is good.
 Bacon Treatment
 In Cheshire. warts are rubbed with a piece of bacon and the bacon is then put under the bark Of an ash tree. The villagers believe that the warts will appear as knobs on the tree.
 Modern scientific medicine gets rid of warts either by destroying the blood supply through the use of the electric needle. after which the war- will fall off; by treating the war, with the N-ray, or by the applica- ton of strong acids which burn away the extra tissue.
