fully About Them.
Harper's Bazaar: Petticoats are a
most essential feature in every cos
tune, and it is quite as necessary that
they should fit and hang well as that
the gown itself should be Well cut
Again and again a costume is seen
which in itself is very smart, yet looks
somehow exceedingly dowdy and quite
lacking in style. Just what the trouble
is 1t would be, at first difficult to say
Apparently it is we'll cut and we'll hung
and the materials used are of the best
and yet it will not have the same ap-
pearance of being in style as will some
costume that has cost a third of the
money. The real reason for this is that
the petticoats worn beneath it are not
we'll cut. Women who are really in
other ways neat never seem to realize
how much thought and care should be
bestowed upon this particular article
of dress.
The new styles in Detticoats are be-
wilderingly pretty: better still, they are
eminently sensible in material and cut
Silk is the favorite material, and. as
there never was a time when silk could
be bought so cheap, it is quite possible.
even for the woman who has to con-
suit economy, to have several. Fashion
requires that the Innings of the cloth
suits this year shall be of contrasting

have a petticoat to wear under the
gown made of the same color as the
gown itself, but just a shade or two
lighter. All these are fuller than they
We're, but the fullness is gathered into
smaller space at the back, quite like
the skirt of the gowns. and the fit over
the stomach and the hips is carefully
attended to.
A deep Spanish flounce is still the
fashion, but the skirt itself extends I'M

yet gives sufficient warmth.

ORE SHIPMENTS
BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY.
Said to Be Ample Room For Expan-
sion Throughout the Country.


If the per capita consumption of
sugar in the United States at this
time were equal to that of 1892 the
aggregate consumption would be over
1927, 100000 pounds, and would be
worth, at an average price of cents,
more than $175, zoo, 600. At the reduced
rate of consumption resulting from
hard times the total for this year will,
it is estimated, be about 1920, 000 900
pounds, worth $16S, 600 1t is en-
tirely practicable to produce in this
country all the sugar required for home
consumption, and by so doing keep at
home vast amount of money now an
nually sent abroad, and to build up a
great branch of the farming industry
The American Agriculturist shows in
notes gathered from various sources
that great progress has already been
made in the west in the manufacture
of beet sugar.. One of the Spreckels
factories at jacksonville, Cal, will pay
out for beets and labor this year not
less than $75O,O00. During the past
eight years it has disbursed over $S,OG0,-
00O on the same account, or on an aver
age of $1,000 per day since it started
work, and has protected that whole
section from distress during the hard
times" 1t is stated that this year the
mill will handle not less than 100000
tons of beets and it will be nearly
Christmas before the crop is harvested.
1t is further noted that s150,000 cash
was paid out in one day by the factory
$4,000 of it being for beets alone.
Over 900 cattle are being fed at the
creamery, mostly with beet pulp" and
7,126 tons of sugar were turned out as
the product of about four months
work.
Coming away from the Pacific we
find the same busy industry in the
little town of Lehi. Utah, where the
local factory paid out 900 for beets
in a single week last month. Up to
Oct. "A the factory had received $4,000
tons of beets, had worked up II, 900
tons, "and had made 1900 sacks of
refined sugar" The local paper states
that 5000 acres have been planted in
beets this year; that to raise, harvest
and deliver them costs $50 an acre;
that the average crop this season is Is
tons per acre, which, at S4 a ton,
brings $50 an acre, and therefore means
$50 clear profit per acre to the farmer"
On the whole acreage planted this
means that $4,000 clear profit in cash
will be distributed among the farmers
this year" There is no place in the
world" this same paper adds, where
the farmers are doing better"
We are further informed that the fac
tories at Grand Island and Norfolk,
Neb., are shipping large quantities OF
sugar" and "the new factory in the
Pecos valley of New Mexico will prob
ably begin making sugar this week"
This industry has been started in
Wisconsin and promises well. The
Charleston News and Courier learns
that the company which has been or
ganized to develop, the Calhoun Falls
property on the Savannah river con-
templates the introduction OF the
beet sugar industry among other i'm
portant enterprises.

Park City, Nov. 22.-The stockholders
of the Octorora Gold Mining company
held a meeting last night to hear the
report of the committee that went to
Salt Lake to secure an extension of
time on the mortgage which is held
against the company by j. A. Cunning
ham. The Indebtedness amounts to
SO, 900. Mr.. Cunningham extended the
time till Dec 10 for part payment
One shareholder thinks the amount can
be raised, since two-thirds of the pay
ment has already been subscribed. A
meeting will be held next Saturday
night to see what success has been
realized. 1t will be remembered that
the Octorora is located some distance
from Deith, New.
The company has been re-incorpor-
ated and whether the mortgage is
lifted or not will bear a new name
the Rescue Mining company-and will
consist of $4,000 shares instead of 240,-
900, which was the capitalization of the
Octorora.
One of the stockholders learned from
Mr.. Cunningham that an expert had
been sent to examine the ore of the
Octorora and brought back samples of
the tailings. These We're panned and

WATER is HiEAIJTHFUIl.
Various Valuable Uses to Which It
Can Be Put.


Physicians generally acknowledge
that as a rule people take too little in
stead of too much water or fluid into
the system. The great benefit derived
from visiting mineral springs is said
not to be so much the quality of the
water as the quantity regularly taken
the exercise and pure air.
There are many diseases which are
directly due to the too-great concentra-
ton of the fluids of the body, and they
can be helped by imbibing larger guam
titles of water for the time at least To
have sufficient water present is the
foundation of water-cures. Drinking
hot or cold water half hour before
meals not only washes out the stomach,
but furnishes the medium for the gas
tEic secretions which are necessary to
digestion. On the other hand, excess
lies in the path of this as we'll as
other things and it should be remem-
bered what IS a rule for one is NOT a
rule for another.
There is not much danger of taking
too much clear water and if one finds
that drinking a pint of hot or cold,
before or after a meal helps one he
should not fear to adopt the custom
The temperature of the water to be
drunk is often vexed question and
may be left to the individual, for the
quantity drunk can have but little eff
feet upon the temperature of IA pints
of blood circulating rapidly about the
20 or more pounds of water in the
tissues, which have a temperature of
about 100 degrees. 1t has been found
that two tumblers of ice water slowly
swallowed and s-phoned out will have
attained a temperature of 80 degrees
in five minutes. 1t is true it is possible
to swallow ice water so rapidly and in
such quantities that the stomach re-
ceives mOmentary chill and some
disturbance sets in. but this is unusual
and there is no reason why ice water
in moderation should be forbidden.

THE CROP PAYMENT PLAN
A Chance for the Poor Man
How Land Pays for
Itself.

About three-fourths of the lands
now being sold in the James River
Valley counties to new corners, as
we'll as to old residents, are sold
on the crop payment plan. This
is generally one-half the crop each
year until paid for, with interest
at six per cent as rule. These
sales include all kinds of lands,
improved and unimproved and it
takes from two to four years to-
pay for land bought on this kind
of a contract In the last few
years a great many farms have
been foreclosed by the large loan
agencies Of the east, which have
agents in this state. The usual
reason for this foreclosure was that
too high loans had been made on
land in the early days, and the low
prices Of products made it difficult
to meet the payments. Farmers
have voluntarily given up much of
this high priced land, made SO by
loans when wheat was worth twice
as much as now. and have taken
other lands or re-purchased the old
ones under the new crop arrange
mentS.
As an instance of the amount
of land sold this way one loan
agency had this year $4,000 acres
of land in crop on which the
farmer gave half, and this amount
was only one-tenth of the total
acreage controlled by the agency,
all of which is for sale on the same
plan,
There is any amount Of good
land that can be bought on crop
payments from loan agents, and
non-residents, farm estates, and
other owners. This plan is prac-
tically new one having been in
force for only five or six years.
Owners of land having confidence
in the soil and the value of the
farms are willing to give man
a chance.
On the best lands sold in this
manner about four years is the
average time required to pay
for it. If a man has teams, which
can be bought cheaply now and
very little machinery, he can get
quarter section paid for and
scarcely know it.
Some farms have houses already
built, but the ma jority of sales on
this plan have no improvements
except a certain amount Of break
ing. To break and back SET land
now and get it ready for crops
adds about So. to the value of
every acre. This work is done be-
tween seeding and harvest, gener-
ALL in June or the ear lv part of
July. Any man can come to North
Dakota and buy as fine quarter
section of ground, or more if he
wants it. by giving half the crop
until paid for. and pay no more
for the land than if bought out
right
When such conditions prevail
what is the use of man farming
on rented land in the over crowded
states of the east?
