A force of experts will shortly be
put to work In the big departments of
the government at Washington to lo-
cate the leaks. President Taft wants
to know how much of the >300,000,000
that Senator Aldrich says he could
save the government by conducting it
on business lines, can really be saved.
The balance of trade, which the sta-
tistics or the last thirty years have
generally shown to be largely in favor
of this country has turned over, ii
now stands a million dollars on the
other side of the ledger for the first
eight months of this calendar year.
The month of August swung the pen-
dulum and brought to the United
States >3,663,425 more in trade than
it took out.
Isaac Glover, a negro, wanted for
murder was shot to death by a posse
of citizens four miles south of Spring-
vtlle, Ala. The negro shot two mem-
bers of the posse before he was killed.
While this year's world acreage
sown to wheat was doubtless the larg-
est in history—235,000,000 acres—it is
not unlikely, according to the depart-
ment of agriculture experts, that the
world yield of wheat will be short or
the high record of last year—3,624,-
000,000 bushels—yet the crop is reas-
onably certain to go down in history
as quantitatively above the average.
In an explosion or * gas pocket in
the Dugger mine at Linton, Ind., one
man is dead, another fatally injured,
and ten men seriously injured. Four
hundred men were working in the
mine at the time.
A meeting has been called by Gov-
ernor Stubbs in Topeka, Kas., Sept.

towns in Kansas and Missouri.

Look at the Hat Through Its Price
ery woman now knows where to buy her hat. since uie man-
ties of show days are done with and business assumes its normal
gait we again begin to peer at that very important fact—namely,
the economy of buying your new hat at Kerr’s.
Two things impressed our visitors during opening days—-
the beauty of our millinery and its phenomenally low prices. The
combination, of course, is irresistible—and former sale records
were clipped because of it. Now, regarding YOUR hat. Is
it possible you are going to be duped by the questionable or wholly
imaginary value of a name? In contemplating the methods of
the usual millinery store the comparison with those of David Ha-
rum constantly recurs—and will not down! There are stylish
hats here—some from the masters in Paris, but the prices are
not inflated. There are beautiful hats here from the great ones
in New York—but no tax is extorted in the name of beauty.
In brief, at Kerr’s millinery is sold as all other merchandise
—at its INTRINSIC value.
Tomorrow your attention is directed to the hats marked
$5.00, $7.50, $10.00, $12.50 and $15.00
a deep plain flounce which la act on
with a beading and trimmed with
braid.
The blouae is made with radiat-
ing box plalta which open out and la
encircled about midway with a tuck,
above which, at the aldea, are etrape
of the braid with insertions of red
velvet. The girdle ia made like the
strapa and the blouae ia llnlahed
around the neck with the braid and
a fold of the red velvet.
The sleeves are cut in one piece
with the body of the waiat and are
llnlahed with turnover cuffa of the
material. The long, close-fitting un-
deraleeves and the guimpe are of lace.
New'I New as the mists of morning—and becoming. They
are, in fact, the millinery store’s “best foot forward.” A hun-
dred perhaps, each one different, beautiful and of authentic style.

STILL THE STRAIGHT LINE
Pterah Stylo 0 pads lists Will Continue
to Insist Upon Perpen-
dicular.
.There Is ao uncertainty as to the
Mttct of the French style specialists
regarding fall faeblona. They have
drawn the line, and it is perpendicu-
lar. Straight, straighter. stralghtest
an* the new lines for coats, skirts and
sleeves.
This, according to Grace Margaret
Gould, writing in the fall fashion num-
ber of the Women's Home companion,
admits a lot to American women, but
wffi be nccepted only according to Its
practicability.
! Ho woman In the world cares more
iM- ho Is style than the American
-woman. She appreciates that the
Ttiaih have taberited taste, that they
ratrly breathe charm, and that tho
Has that come from Paris are, gen-
erally speaking, good ones. But she
login upon these ideas as suggestions,
■ot edicts. What la possible In style
oho will follow, but she will think long
mmo Mriously of herself, her advan-
.Hmra and her limitations before she
win adopt a style which wiU make her
lappssr ridiculous.
This pretty dress is of blue ailk
voile, trimmed with printed bands In
cashmere colors and design. The
akirt is slightly gathered at the top
and encircled at the bottom with a
band of the trimming.
The waist forms a fichu over an un-
derblouse of lace or batiste, which is
finished at the neck and sleeves with
ruffles of lace and bands and knots
of narrow black velvet. The girdle
is of black velvet or liberty.
Fall Millinery.
Nobody knows anything about It, of
course.
But there are prognostications.
White beavers are already being
prepared for the late August trade,
warm idea though it may be.
Many of the latest shapes show the
mushroom tendency again.
Some models are cut away or in-
dented directly in the front.
Tam O'Sbanter crowns are appar-
ently in favor.
Hindoo turbans are shown here and
there, which argues a possibility of
draped oriental effects for late au-
tumn.
Bell-shaped hats there are, further
emphasising the mushroom tendency,
but little store may be placed in these
facta, while millinery fashions are in
so variable a state.
