I FROM THE BIGGEST DIAMOND
To the most trifling ornament,
you will find the quality of
OUR JEWELRY
always satisfactory. It’s the
same with our services. We

this in order to lighten the domestic
burdens of the women in our cities.
Girls are teing taught the science
of “domestic economy” in our schools
and colleges but they are not being
taught how to go out and secure the
ingredients of a meal. These must be
brought to them to prepare. They
learn how to cook potatoes without
burning them but ask a graduate of
a domestic science school the proper
and economical way to buy potatoes
and store them for winter use and she
will throw a fit.
Anyone who has made even a super
ficial investigation of the cost of liv
ing realizes that a return to the good
old market basket days would cut the
expense almost in two but it would en
tail so much labor on the part pf the
woman that in these modern days it
is absolutely out of the question. The
women will not stand for it and the
New York Housewives League might
as well disband now before it breaks
up on account of the failure of its
members to live up to the rules of the
club.

IS WELL POISED FOR ACTION.
Asserts Germany Will Find Next Move
Against Foe More Difficult Than One
Before—Says Positions of French
and English Forces Are Impregnable.
London, Aug. 27.—The military cor
respondent of the Graphis says the
allies In their present entrenched po
sition as as the anvil to the "Musco
vite hammer."
"It Is good news," he continues,
“that the concentration of the allies
on entrenched lines within the French
border is complete, and that the po
sitions thus held are little less than
Impregnable. The Germans will find
that their next move against the allies
will be much more difficult than that
which confronted them a week ago.
“General Joltre's troops will now be
devoting all their energy to a stubborn
defensive. They are the anvil. The
Muscovite hammer is gathering all its
immense force for a crushing blow in
the east. Hence It Is most important
that the allies' forces should stand
firm.
“The hammer Is doing excellently,
allthough the preliminary work is nec
essarily slow on account of the Rus
sians’ lack of facilities for mobiliza
tion.
“Nevertheless the progress made
by Russia has exceeded the most opti
mistic expectations, and the Germans
are likely to pay dearly for their un
dervaluation of the Russian efforts.
“The outstanding fact Is that the
hammer is well poised for action. If
the anvil only stands firm the enemy
must be speedily crushed between
them.
“Here Is the situation of the three
sided Russian advance: At present
east Prussia Is In process of being
cleared of German troops, while In
Posen another Russian army Is mov
ing almost unopposed and will soon be
within 150 miles of Berlin. Meanwhile,
in Galicia, the Austrian troops are not
making an effective resistance.”

SPORT FIELDS TO
GROW WAR CROPS
Proposals That Goll Courses Id
England Be Plowed Up.
London, Aug. 26.—Proposals that
golf courses, cricket and fool ball
fields be plowed for raising crops dur
ing war time have been reaching the
war office.
A. J. Sherwood, secretary of the
Walton Heath Golf club at Epsom,
points out that there are at least 2,600
golf courses in the country which
could spare some If not conslderab'e
land for cultivation. The Walton
Heath club has already started an ex
periment of twelve acres under culti
vation and its secretary believes that
If other clubs, Including cricket and
football organizations, would do the
same, the scheme would provide em
ployment for thousands of unski'led
workmen and add considerably to the
nation’s food supply.
In these days of self-sacrifice no one
appears to be wanting to enjoy him
self on the golf links. They are gen
erally deserted and probably will be
to the end of the war. L. B. Gullich,
secretary of the Golfers' club, has sug
gested that the hundreds of club
houses should be offered to the mili
tary authorities for use as hospitals.

Woipen Are Responsible.
Daily Drovers Journal-Stockman:
Word comes from New York that a
lot of women under the name of the
Housewives’ League are going to give
the high cost of living a solar plexus
. blow by a return to the good old days
a the market basket. The move ap
pears to meet with the approval of
everybody from the mayor down but
the reform is destined to be a dismal
failure right from the start.
Modern women will not go to mar
ket with a market basket much less
lug a basket of stuff home with them.
Their education and environments
have all been against such a plebean
procedure and their style of dress for
bids it. The city woman of today will
not carry home a spool of cotton from
a department store. It must be de
livered at her home. She could not
possibly carry a bundle as she ap
parently needs both hands to take
care of her apparel and then too it is
a sign of poverty to be seen carrying
things home. It looks so much more
genteel to have them charged at the
store and delivered.
As a matter of fact fully 90 per
cent of the advance in the cost of
living in the past quarter of a century
is due to the vanity of the women.
This may seem rather hard but a little
investigation will demonstrate its
truth. The men are not entirely
blameless since they are wont to re
serve their attentions for the girls
who shun housework, put up a well
dressed front and assume manners
that are as far as possible removed
from the kitchen.
The modern demand for prepared
foods, for fancy groceries for hot
house vegetables and fruit and the
fancy cuts of meat calls for higher
prices. It could not be otherwise since
the expensive item of labor enters in
to the securing of these articles.
Then too a great deal more than half
of the city trade in these articles is
done on credit and dealers must
necessarily allow themselves a mar
gin of profit sufficient to cover the
cost of collections as well as of bad
debts. Delivery of the goods over a
wide area in the city also adds great
ly to the expense of the dealer and all
J. u. tiubbell hied his acceptance of
the republican nomination for county
clerk. His only expense was $5.00
paid as fil:ng fee.
Charles A Fauquier has filed his
acceptance of the democratic and peo
ples independent nomination for su
pervisor. His nomination cost him
only $5.00 paid as filing fee.
W. E. Conklin has accepted the pro
gressive nomination for sheriff. Hb
only expense was $5.00 paid as filing
fee.
W. K. Hodgkin has filed his accept
ance of the republican and progressive
nominations for county attorney. His
nominations cost him $46.48, which
includes two filing fees.
Dennis H Cronin has filed an ac
ceptance of the republican and demo
cratic nominations for representative
from the Fifty-third representative
district. The only expense was $5.00
paid as filing fee.
Under the law all candidates must
file an acceptance of the nominations
given him or his name will not go
upon the official ballot.

British War Minister Says Country
Must Make Many Sacrifices.
London, Aug. 26.—Lord Kitchener

war in the house of lords. He told his

neither party.
“The terms on which I am serving
are the same as those under which
some of the finest portions of our msa
hood, now so willingly stepping for
ward to join the colors, are engaging.
That is to say, my term of office is for
the duration of the war, or for three
years if the war should last as long
as that. It has been asked why I his
period has been limited. It is because
If this disastrous war be prolonged,
and no one can foretell for a certainty
