PAGE EIGHT ¥y Laying in a Stock Gentlemen who are accustomed to getting a shave each day at the fa- vorite barber shop will either have to shave themselves over Sunday and Monday or else lay in a good supply befcre“the shops close Saturday night. It seems as if the barbers would be afraid to clese up.for two days in succegsion. It might teach some men how to shave themselves. —Or Cut Themselves— May Take a Day Off Among those things that won't get you anywhere is wondering whether or not the miners and the deputies in the West Virginia coal mine war area will observe Labor Day, and if they are observing an eight-hour day regularly. At that, though, it is expected the miners will celebrate Labor Day in the victory they have just attained in getting United States troops to fight “the Baldwin-Felts detectives. —Observing Victory— Bull-etin The Ford Motor company has in the neighborhood of $54,000,000 in cash in the bank, according to a re- port tendered to the ‘department of state at Lansing, Michigan. And now Ford has announced another cut in prices. A man of our acquaintance says that he had a cash account in the bank this morning of $3.97 and has no Ford. Michigan is one state, and his is another. —State of Bankruptey— Don’t Follow the Mayor! St. Paul straw hat wearers are warned not to wait for Mayor Hodg- son to advise them by proclamation that the. official “straw hat season” has closed. The mayor says that ev- eryone must take his own chances. We wonder if the mayor of “The City of Enterprise” is to be followed. We don’t remember of ever sceing him wear a straw hat and conse- quently we advise every wearer to use his own judgment. —Before It's Too Late— Sic 'Em Towser!

Groat, (United Press Staft Correspondent) Berlin, Sept. 3.—Germany, never noted for shapely ankles or dainty feet, is about to hide these extrem- ities. Fashion, as represented by the fall mode week, has decreed that. True, some short skirts were still there, but the prevailing style show- ed long skirts. Sometimes these were actually_long; other times the length was attained by addition of lace or streamers or such like crea- tions. And, while the lowering of the skirt was thus ordained, the fashion arbiters also showed a startling tend- ency to drop the neck, giving an even more decollete effect than the past season's creations permitted. Furs will be quite popular. Capes, popularized already this summer, were shown extensively, made from silk and lighter fabrics to furs. The tailors for men also partici- pated in the mode week, and their| newest fall styles show a tendency to less color and less fancy sporting lines than was the case a year ago. FORMER FEDERAL AGENT HERE THOUGHT POISONED Edward Escola, formerly federal| agent here, is reported to have died | suddenly at Los Angeles a week ago Thursday and under mysterious cir- cumstances.

While they -have ‘a standard or uni- form dress, this is worn only on spe- clal occasions. Yet dress parade is a truly dignified affair, for the youths maintain that erect and self-reliant carriage which is so characteristic of native races. 3 Occasionally a most interesting drill is witnessed of the “carabao cavalry,” as it is called, although the mounts are_not water buffalo but domestic cattle. AlL through the day the bells tell the time as on shipboard and bugles seund the ‘calls that direct the military life of the station.
