New Styles!

U TRY Plntlemmilh Firsi!
The following is an extract from one of the leading style journals:
"Fashions for Spring; while not indicative of any radical change, are
extraordinarily interesting. The prevailing style features of the winter
modes have been developed and improved rather than any attempt having
be?n made to introduce changes of an unusual character.
"Taffeta, in both plain and fancy effects, is the most popular material
for Spiing. It is shown in stripes, plaids and in pompadour effects. The
combining of silks with sheer materials is an important factor in dress
fashions for immediate and future wear."
1
For Spring Dresses and Costumes,
our showing of Taffetas in plaids, stripes and plain colors, is all you could wish
for in making a selection. These are all yard wide and are of the soft Chiffon
finish. Chiffons and Georgette Crepes to match Taffetas and Silk Poplins, for
the making of sleeves, vest effects and over-drapes.
The McCALL FASHIONS are the last word in good styles. The new
Spring Quarterly, (just out) is simply filled from cover to cover with chic styles
for every one.

We are making a special effort for
the 191G Spring Season, just opening,
and will greatly appreciate your visit
to our sales room, whether you buy
or not.
I We are very fortunate in secur
ing the services of Miss Murphy, of
Chicago, for our Designer. Miss
Murphy comes to us very highly rec
ommended from the Gage Brothers Co.
of Chicago, makers of the famous
Gage Hat. We will show a complete
line of Gage Hats.
II We have been very fortunate in
our buying for the new season. In
the past few weeks there has been a
marked advance in the price of Hat
Frames, Silks, Ribbons, Trimmings,
etc., as much at 33 1-3 per cent. Our I
orders were placed before this advance
in price, and our goods will be sold
at our customary low prices.
Ill We have bought a much larger
stock this year than usual, and will
show, in addition to the Gage Hat,
others equally good, such as the Knox
Hat, the Edco Hat and the Edson
Kieth Hat. We consider these lines
the best money can buy, regardless of
price.

SUDDEN DEATH OF
HENRY WALLACE
Editor of Big Farm Paper and Rural
Life Leader Drops Dead
in Church.
Berlin, Feb. 23 A great fleet of
Zeppelins, flying to America and
bringing food back to Germany, is a
possibility if this war lasts several
years longer, an authority on aero
nautics declared today.
"Seems like a dream," he said, '"but
a war tnat has seen .submarines go
from Wilhebhaven to Constanti
nople and Zeppelins and aeroplanes
play unexpected roles may see even
more startling developments in three
or five years.
"The fact that this possibility is
being discussed is evidence of the
lealization here that this war between
England and Germany is to be de
cisive, it not a battle to exhaustion.
In this finish fight Germany expects
to win, if necessary, by bringing into
play all the inventive powers that
have stood her in such good stead."
Attack Through Holland Possible.
German critics are speculating on
what would happen if the English
threw an army into Holland and
marched against Aix La Chappelle to
trap the German army in Belgium.
Holland has just voted new credits for
the defense of her neutrality.
Rumors that Sweden plans to at
tack Rusia if the war becomes one
of exhaustion have been circulated t
here for months.
Reports that Spain has been buying
munitions in America have also
aroused public interest in Spain's am
bition to conquer Gibraltar.
Rumania Favors Allies.
Rumania is the unsolved puzzle of
the Balkans. At present she is con
trolled almost entirely by England's
heavy purchases of Rumanian grain.

"BALDY" STICKS
CAB
SAVES
IN
TR
Des Moines, la., Feb. 23. Henry
Wallace, 80 years old, publisher of a
farm journal here, and a member of
the Roosevelt country life commission,
dropped dead in the First Methodist
church here last night while attending
a meeting of the Iowa laymen's mis
sionary movement. Death was without
warning and is believed to have re
sulted from heart disease.
Mr. Wallace was a native of Penn
sylvania. He entered the ministry in
1862 and the following year accepted
a joint pastorate at Davenport and
Rock Island. In 1880 ill-health forced
him to retire from the ministry, and
he took up farming.
In 1883 he was made editor of a
farm publication here, and in 1895,
with his three sons, he established the
agricultural paper of which he was
the head until his death.

Veteran Missouri Pacific Engineer
Stays at Post; Loose Rod Pounds
It Into Kindling.
Omaha, Neb., Feb. 23. While a
loose driving rod of heavy iron was
flaying the engineer's side of the cab
into splinters near Leavenworth, Kas.,
Monday night, "Baldy" Jones, veteran
driver of Missouri Pacific passenger
No. 107. Kansas City to Omaha,
.shielded himself behind the boiler, and
sticking to his post finally was able
to reach the throttle and the air,
and bring the train to a stop.
The fireman had already jumped,
alarmed by the havoc the heavy rod
was working under the force of drive
wheels revolving at the rate of forty
miles an hour. He was the only one
hurt, having suffered a dislocated
shoulder.
The cause of the accident was a
broken pin on a drive wheel, that loos
ened the drive rod.
Before "Baldy" could get his train
stopped the rod had succeeded in
spreading the rails so that three of
the cars were off the track. No per
sonal damage was done.
"Baldy" Jones, a veteran of forty
years' service, was only scratched. He
is back on his old schedule again.
Fcr State Senator.
I hereby announce myself as a can
didate for state senator on the repub
lican ticket from Cass and Otoe coun
ties, subject to the will of the voters
at the primary election.
