DON'T HURRY TO LEAVE HOME To dispense entirely with collars on separate blouses and dresses is one of 1 the latest fancies of fashion design ers. Perhaps this will be a trying style for the majority of -women, as most faces, require the softening In fluence of a collar around the neck; but for those to whom it is becoming, the collarless neck, as a novelty, is sure to make an appeal. There is nothing that women like more than something a little different, for to tire of a certain style, however becoming, is only human. Many and varied are the new out lines and finishes for these collarless dresses. Square, round, oval and V shapes are all among the different outlines in vogue. The oval outline going across the neck from shoulder to shoulder at a rather shallow depth is very interesting and is shown in I the accompanying sketch. In this model the neck is finished with cross-stitch embroidery design, one of the newest forms of embroidery, or ml "l'l'iLk A. L. Harrington A. L. Harrington, a resident of Stafford, suffered a stroke of paraly sis Tuesday morning that caused his death. He was makinir his home with his son, I. F. Harrington, and had been in Satfford about five years. Mr. Harrington for 20 years lived at Os wego, and was a native of Pennsyl vania. He is survived by the widow, two daughters and one brother, who lives at Middleton. Funeral services were held this afternoon at 2:30 from the Holman parlors. Be Sura ths Changs to the Hustling Metropolis Will Be to Your Advan tage Before You Make It Do Your Best Where You Are and Wait. In the American Magazine a writer, giving some words of advice to the ninny aspiring young men throughout tho country who feel the lure of the great cities and who are consumed with a desire to try their fortunes therein, says: "An old friend called to ask my ad vice the other day. He canio to New York from a little Indiana town. He has a 0ife and four chlldreu and a poor Job. "As I talked with him I kept pictur ing him where he belongs back In the old home town. If he had stuyed there be might have worked into a $1,000 or $1,200 job. which would have been suf ficient to satisfy all his needs and niost of his wants. He could huve had a garden, a yard, a savings bank ac count and a membership In the local lodge. Eveniugs he could have sat on bis porch and held converse with his neighbors. "On the Fourth of July he could have been 'some punklus' at the neighbor hood picnic. He might have become a village councilman, and when the fall Icanipuign arrived he could have been on the committee to welcome the con gressman when that great personage came to town in search of votes. In other words, he might have had a real place in tho community. "Now, what docs he get in exchange for the $1,000 or $1,200 that he earns In New York? Well, I suppose he gets a measly little flat with dark bedrooms, a fine assortment of cheap lunches, two chances dally to hnng by his eyelids In the subway, a greut fund of loneli ness and a woebegone feeling of use lessncss. "That is the trouble with these whal ing big cities like New York and Chi cago. They are all right for men of known ability men of force and ambl tlon who have learned how to direct their talents. But they are hard on un tried men men who have not yet found themselves. "This is not said for tho purpose of rather, one of the oldest forms of embroidery recently revived. The cross-stitch of generations back has returned, now that embroidery of ev ery description enjoys so strong a vogue. It is fascinating work for those who like needlework, and simple to do that many spring1 and summer frocks will be adorned with it, worked out in tho attractive co ors used for embroideries. The peplum blouse illustrated is the kind that is worn with the now loose-hanging skirts, an example of which is shown in tho sketch. Thi sKiri is aitacneu to u skeleton lining the lining so called, hanging from the shoulders and cut on straight, loosely fitted lines. The lining is made of some soft or thin materiul such net, China silk or fine lawn. The ob ject of this type of skirt is to pre serve the straight-line silhouette. It makes an excellent foundation for the peplum, or outside blouses as thoy are called. The blouse that buttons straight down the back is making its wav surely but slowly into the fashionable world. Crocheted and decorative fancy buttons make these back clos ings rather attractive. Some novel ty buttons are made of colored beads bunched together in ball shape. These are generally used on waists that but ton in front. Strings of colored beads to go with waists are being much worn. The beads either match tho waist in color or are of a contrasting though har monious shade; for instance, old rose with blue makes a charming combination. New Fancy Collars While collarless styles are fashion able, dainty collars have by no means been discarded; on the contrary, this is an accessory made very much of. Some of the new shapes fall in rath er long points over the shoulders, oth ers are pointed in front and square at tho back, and the familiar sailor collar is ever present. Fine voile, marquisette and handkerchief linen in white and colors are used for the new collars. Some are hemstitched hand, others by machine, and on al most every one there is some touch of hand embroidery. Double collars are usually made with the upper one ot some color and a white one, a lit tle larger, under it. The high stock collar is being worn by smart women as much for sports as tor use with tailored costumes Usually it is made of pongee or some heavy silk with ends that cross front of striped or figured silk. b or sports wear a white silk blouse with one of these collars and a skir matching the figured or striped silk in the rnllnr. mnkn vm,r ntfmw.f U,a COSr.limp. Ihlfl lillin lu nlcn i.nitMAl out ill linens and the new figured cot ton materials which are so smart for sports skirts. Instead of the high stock collar, some open-neck blouses are worn with graceful four-in-hand ties made of the skirt material. Charles Martin Charles Martin, recently of Cle Elum, Wash., and a resident of Ore gon City for only a month, died here Friday afternoon. The immediate cause of death was tuberculosis. Mr. Martin is survived by his widow and two little children, one sister and four brothers. H. L. Martin, a broth er, is a merchant in this city. De ceased was 31 years old and was a native of Kansas. Funeral services were held on Sunday from the Hol man parlors and interment was in Mountain View cemetery. Rev. T. J. Williams, of St. Paul's Episcopal church, othciated. In Barrel Effect The barrel or bokling-pin silhou ette appears to be meeting with sue cess not only in skirts of the tailored type, but in afternoon frocks. The effect obtained by soft draperies and pleats at the upper part of the skirt makes very graceful lines and is es pecially pretty in afternoon silk frocks. The sketch shows one of these models developed in dotted foul ard. The waist of this design is par ticularly interesting, as it features the new kimono sleeve cut so as to form a part of the body of the waist, The curved line starting from the col lar and going under the arm is seen in many designs and allows for the use of two materials, that most pop ular effect. Collar and cuffs of this dress are of sheer white organdy. Short sleeves reaching just above or below the elbow, as in this model, are likely to be popular when the warm weather comes, for every indi cation points that way just now. The ong sleeves will continue to be worn, however. Social at Rock Creek The Rock Creek school will givo an entertainment and ice cream so cial at the school house Saturday evening, April 7. The leading num ber on the program will be a plnv en titled, "The Unfaithful Poplar Tree," in which 15 pupils will participate.

The morning trains nre bringing them in by the hundreds this very day and all the printing presses in the world could not drive them back "But it is said for the purpose of caus ing every small town man with respon sibilities to consider carefully before coming whether he has a definite aim in coming and whether lie has faith and conviction that he really has some thing to give to the big town. "Don't come just for the ride. Don't come except from positive choice. Don't come just because others are coming. The best rule of all is this If you have no definite, compelling ren son within yourself to come, don't come until you are invited. Do your job well at home. If the big town wants you she will cull you. "A hundred telegrams went out from New York today to various and remote parts of the United States currying of fers of good jobs to smart chaps who have done so well that New York has heard of them. "Only last week I met a young man from Massachusetts who had just been offered an $8,000 a year place In New York. lie said he hadn't the least idea how the thing startedexcept that he had done work that had been brought to the attention of several New York bankers, one of whom had looked him up and then flashed him the offer of a Job. "So leave your name and address with the local operator and go back to your knitting. New York is not tongne tied. If she needs you she'll wire.

ABERNETHY GRANGE MILL IS STARTED Penny Wise Pound Foolish Editor Courier: The interest in the $6,000,OOQ bonds is $240,000 for each of the first five years and $12,000 less tor each of the following years, mak ing the four per cent bonds cost 2.32 per cent over the period of 25 years. The loss to the auto owner is var iously estimated at from 10 to 20 ner cent each year from bad roads due to extra wear and tear on the machine one torn tires and extra gasolene expense not being taken into consid eration. 3-1,000 auto cars at an aver age value of $1,000, is $34,000,000. Minimum loss, 10 per cent, is $3,400.- 000 per annum, or vehy nearly 15 lines as much loss per year as the interest cost. This looks like many of the argu ments against road bonds from an economic point of view ore "penny wise and pound foolish. The taxpayer will pay no more un der the bond bill, while the auto own er will pay the bill and at the same time save 15 times as much as. he pays under the double license plan.
