He believes the reciprocity bill should and will pass at the special session which meets next month, bi|t when told that some tanners were objecting thereto, said that if any farmer could explain to him how reciprocity with Canada would injure them in the least he would vote against the bill. He also said that the general impression among farmers that reciprocity with our northern neighbor would effect the price or wheat is wrong. The price of that commodity is fixed in Liverpool and the price would in no way be raised or lowered by this new law. Further than this the United States shipped into Canada last year thirteen times as much wheat as that country shipped here, so that if this nation fixed the price, reciprocity would be to our advantage. Mr. Adair studies every question thoroughly and is ready and willimg to discuss these problems with any of bis constituents. HOUSE FOR RENT—on Corner of I Fourth and Monroe Streets.

BOWERS OF BEAUTY Are the Millinery Emporiums—Spring Openings Are Beginning. TWO HELD TODAY Deininger and Bowers’ Millinery Stores Have Fine Displays. The Queen of the Weather was very gracious today in sending her best and brightest for the spring millinery openings, which are already in season. and no brighter day could have been chosen than this ror the showing of the dainty, airy, flower-like hats on which Milady is casting her eye' for her adornment for the spring. The Deininger store was a bower of beauty this afternoon when the room was thrown open to a large throng of ladies. The windows had been handsomely arranged, with sweet peas and other trailing flooring vines adorning the pedestals on which the hats were displayed. Further on in the room were row after row of hats, showing delightfully against a background in harmony with the display. Hats are both large and small, as usual, though the greater number are made to be worn without “rats,” this style of hair dressing having "gone out.” to be succeeded by the hah- dressed low on the back of the head. Flowers, in many dainty colors are used in profusion, many of the hats being built of flowers alone. Chiffons, ribbons and braids are used, and here and there a plume, for those who are partial to them. Among the new colors, is “Helen” pink, a beautiful salmon shade, named for Helen Taft, pust as “Alice" blue, was named for Alice Roosevelt. King's blue is a new royal color, and another popular shade is apple green. Combinations of black, green and white are popular, and never were the shades so dainty, varied and charming. Assisting Mrs. U. Deininger and daughter, Miss Mayme, at the opening were the Misses Genevieve Bremerakmp, Gretel Shoemaker, Mary Closs, Margaret Gallogl. and Frances Coffee. The opening still continues this evening. The Bowers millinery store also had a delightful display, though on a simpler scale, as the summer millinery display will be held later on. The hats shown today were the plain tailored style, for early spring, and some very neat hats in the latest mode were shown. Miss Hortense Yockey of Indianapolita is in charge of the trimming department, and assisting Miss Bowers are Miss Madge Hite and Miss Clara Weiland. Mrs. M. P. Burdg and Mrs. Boese will have their openings later. WILL MOVE APRIL FIRST. Herbert Pennington, the well known carpenter, who Monday had decided to leave today for Moline, 111., to reside, decided later not to go until April 1. The change in dates was made on account of the ract that he had some work that came up later to attend to, which will requite his attention until April Ist. Several other Decatur parties may leave at that time also with Mr. and Mrs. Pennington to make their home in the Illinois city. ■AAAAA AAAAAAAAAAA AAA A A A ▼ ▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼ M (■millinery opening!
