“The Flapper” the Fashion Sensation This is the lady’s slipper, just out, one of the spring-times new creations, made of patent colt leather, one strap, and ornamented with a silver buckle, and carries with it a medium low heel. This slipper is not full of frills, no, just plain patent leather, but built along such lines so as to give grace and dignity to the wearer. Charlie Voglewede THE SHOE SELLER.

SPORT NEWS THEY CAN'T GET OVER IT The Bluffton papers continue to worry considerably about the recent basket ball tournament and the following paragraphs may be of interest: The Banner prints the following opinions of coaches who did not attend the “kick” meeting: Coach Weller, Portland "1 think it was a very loose job of refereeing I think the crowd got the best of Humke and he lost his head. 1 wouldn't say that Hale attempted to throw the Bluffton-Decatur or the Monroe-Decatur games, but he was very loose.” Coach Brubaker, Fennville — “1 couldn’t see anything wrong with the refereeing and we have nothing to kick about.” Coach Hiatt. Dunkirk — Humke, was I believe, incompetent and was no good. » Hale is a good referee, except in the games in which Decatur participated. His work in other games was good." Coach Reynolds. Redkey—“l have no particular objection to Hale’s work, but 1 thought Humke was partial. Hale’s work in the BlufftonDecatur and the Monroe-Decatur games was just about as good as could be expected. The Liberty Cen-ter-Decatur game, however, didn't suit me.” Both Bluffton papers insist that an agreement was made that the pro iceedure of the meeting was to be kept out of tile papers until an invest igalion was completed, excepting the resolution, and that the Democrat agreed to that. Prior to this however the Bluffton papers had used the charges of the call in their own pa pers and all over the state and it was certainly just that the proceedure of the meeting be published and that is what Mr. Stewart told them when the request was made. A man named Douglas French who it in said refereed the game at Berne when the Decatur team played there and who called about the fewest foul: ever seen in one game gives a long expose in which he says that Humke knew mo more than the law allows him and Hale was splendid and knew the game except when Decatur was playing, whatever he means by that. He suggests that the tournaments should be played in cities outside the district, for instance the Decatur district should have met at Fort Wayne and the Fort Wayne district here, a proposition however that would prove very unpopular with the fans, we should think. He includes this statement: “1 have seen Bluffton high school play and know that they play rough, ■azM 1 fajjt a* i.inios., I have refereed games in which Decatur played and also in games that Monroe played and viewed games from the audience o fthc two teams in action at tinjes this year, and I'll say that Decatur is oiie of the roughest high school teams I ever saw play and Monroe is, I think - without exception, the cleanest I ever saw, and It beats me how in the sain hill a capable, unprejudiced referee could call seven fouls on Bluff ton and only one on Decatur, and eight on Monroe and three only on Decatur. What the ’ell Bill, what the

’ell?” The Mr. French who wrote the article ts not the principal of the Bluffton schools, but 0 sou of the Berne principal.
