"Most Any" corset won't do!
"Moat any Medicine" wouldn't do if you were ill, would it? You
want the particular medicine for your specific ailment, v
And if you really care about having a good figure About retaining
your youth as long as possible about increasing your grace and charm
then "most any" corset won't do either.
You want the particular corset for your specific figure needs.
Naturally corsets differ in just the proportion that the abilities
of their designers differ. So to be certain of getting the best corset
for your figure it is essential that you select one created by a de
signer of known skill and reputation.
In the world of corsetry Jennings is generally accounted the fore,
most designer. He designs Modart Front Laced Corcets exclusively.

I Stock judging by school teams is
; to be an important phase of the Union
, Stock show program. E. E. Arant,
j principal of the Union schools is ad-
vising school principals in this part of

His letters to the principals say:
"The Union Stock Show board
wishes to announce that high school

hold here in connection with the an
nual slock show. The judging will be
given in five classes of stock namely,
draft horses, light bone horses, dairy

eral average. Suitable prizes will al
so be given for the highest, seconJ
highes, and third highest individual
scores. Other prizes may be added
later by local stockmen. A complete
announcement will be found in the
stock show book. For rules of " the

the undersigned,
"Each team will consist of five boys.
However, a boy from any school may
enter singly for the individual prizes
but would not be entitled to compete
for the cup. We hope that many of
your agriculture students may enter
this contest and have the privilege of
seeing our show."

Late Events in Gotham.
' New York, June 3. Perhaps few
people have passed the Statue of
Liberty at night without feeling that
this wonderful landmark ought not to
remain shrouded in a mantle of dark
ness. In clear weather this wonderful
gift of France to the people of the
United States does full justice to its
mission of "Enlightening the World,"
but at night, except for a beacon at
the apex of the statue, there is no il
lumination. Thirty thousand dollars
is needed to install a lighting plant,
The amount is being' raised, and one
of the metropolitan newspapers
heads the subscription list with $1,
000, and expresses the hope that the
remaining $29,000 may come from as
many patriotic Americans as there
are dollars to be collected. The plan
is to make the movement entirely pop
ular, and therefore Email subscrip
tions, including pennies, nickles and
dimes, are to be solicited. The Statue
of Liberty was placed on Bedloe . Is
land in the Harbor of New York in
1886, and the inauguration ceremon
ies were' celebrated in the presence of
1,000,000 people. Grover Cleveland
was president of the United States at
that time, and he was in attendance.
Another statue that has attracted
public attention is that of Horace
Greeley, which has long occupied a
very fitting place in front of the New
York Tribune, the newspaper he
founded. For many years the Greeley
Statue has stood upon the sidewalk in
one of the most congested parts of
tne city, notwithstanding . that its
presence is a violaion of city ordin
ances, which 1 have been enforced
Kgainst every class of property
holders, who were obliged to remove
all obstructions that projected over
the building line. In order that the
statue may remain permanently in an
appropriate place, it will be presented
to the city of New York, and given a
i place in the immediate neighborhood
i i..i:.. .: : 11.. i.j
ui 'Hie locality iiloi -icauy associate
with the making of newspapers, and
which Horace Greeley helped make
famous. City Hall Park, which faces
Printing House Square, will undoubt
edly be chosen as a permanent site
for the statue.
When Albert K. Dawson was a boy
in his native town of Vincennes, In
diana, he dreamed that some day he
I wouia see the great wide world.
I American boys somehow are npt to
j have such notions. Dawson grow to
'manhood, and became a junior mom
ibor of the firm of Brown & Dawson,
'photographers, at Stamford, Connec
ticut. Two months after the war
: broke out, young Dawson started for
I Europe, where he followed the armies
! of the Central powers f()r eighteen
'months. His experiences were enough
jto satisfy any ordinary appetite for
I adventure. On one occasion his
, camera was shot away from him, and
jhe risked his life time and time again
'in order to get war pictures. In the
j year and one-half since Dawson went
away his hair has become streaked
with white. He was condemned to ho
I shot on three occasions, and arrested
siventy times. The Serbians were
'his most relentless enemies, and while
he was their prisoner they kept him
on the anxious seat three or four days
I at a time, during which periods they
! regaled him with stories concerning
; plans that were beinrr made to shoot
him. Dawson's experiences ought to
prove to other adventurous youths
that war-stricken Europe is a good
place to stay away from at the pres
ent time.
I New Yorkers delight at times to
I get back to the chnrms furnished hy
i Mother Nature, and since it is so dif-
ficult to go to the country, its people
iare continually devising means whjre
I by they can bring the country to the
;city. During the meeting of the Gen
' oral Federation of Women's clubs a
!pine forest at least there were three
j hundred trees was utilized in decnr
: nting the Seventh Regiment Armory,
j Twenty thousand of the most repi e
' sentitive women in the country at

Knickerbocker extended his glad light
hand to them in hearty welcome. Of
course the Boy Scouts were out in
! force, as they are upon every oc
casion, helping to make things ngree-
able for the ladies whom the boys
'no doubt regarded as almost ns im-

portant as themselves. As a matter
of fact the Boy Scouts of New York
have developed into such great prom
inence that the question of the wisdom
of the movement is being seriously
debivted. '.
Mrs. Vernon Castle has returned
from Europe, where she went to see
her husband, who has enlisted in the
British army, and is a member of the
aviation corps. Mrs. Castle is quite
delighted with her Vernon, and she
says: "At last he has his wings. He
looks lovely in his uniform. Within
a week from now tie expects to be
sent to the frori', in the scbuting di
vision." Of course she expresses no
fear that her distinguished spouse
might be shot full of holes, thereby
ceasing to be useful at cabaret per
formances in the future. Mrs. Vernon
Castel was summoned before the
King and Queen of. England, and
showed the royal personages her
beautiful Broadway glides, by means
of which she' and her husband suc
ceeded in piling up a fortune. The
dancing queen has a peculiar fascina
tion for a net monkey, which she car
ries with her; but of course this ec
centricity adds to the amount of space
that she has been getting in the
Metropolitan newspapers. She an
nounces her intention of dancing ex
clusively for the movies in the future
and this will give the public a
chance to see her for a nickel, or a
dime, which most people are willing to
admit will be a big improvement over
the old-stylo method, by which it was
necessary to pay one's way through
the expensive process of meals and
drinks at gilded hotels and restau
rants in order to see the famous
Castles.
As a result of the sensational de
velopments, resulting in the indict
ment of two public officials, charged
with wire tapping, it is learned that
the practice has been in operation in
New York for many years. .It is al
so probable that the system of es
pionage of conversation, carried on
under the direction of the New York
police, is in common practice in many
cities throughout the United States.
While telephone subscribers have felt
more or less secure in the use of this
mean3 of transmitting communica
tions, yet it seems that a good deal of
the comfort they have assumed, does
not square with the conditions. While
it is admitted that there may have
been some justification in the practice
among the New York police, in tap
ping subscribers' telephone wires, yet
inu uisciosures nave s-arueu iew
York to such an extent that official
wire-tapping has become decidedly
unpopular.
midshipmen will then go on leave for
a month. The ships of the squadron
