farmer will turn his attention
to the raising of African .kafr,
and on that he will feed his
family and his cattle and
through it he will accumulate
wealth and again enjoy pros

The rain maker and the
visionary irrigationist have
had their day in Kansas. &c
cording to Mr.. Woods. who
has just returned to Evans

but they will thrive it. Neither
sand nor alkali, nor grasshop
per, nor chinch bugs will again
be all-powerful factors in the
annual computation and every
body will grow kaffir and eat
kafir and buy and sell kaffir,
and Kansas will bloom as she
never did before.
The dryest spot Of land in
the whole state grows the
biggest crop of kaffir, and the
the rich bottom land will grow
kahir too,
Kahfr is a cereal Of Africa
which grows in the hottest and
dryest places. It will grow
most any place where it is hot
and Kansas yields abundantly.
IA few years ago Jerry
Simpson shipped a quantity Of
the seed to his constituents
and they planted it and fed it
to their cattle. Two years
ago We experimental on max
ing -four out OF it, with a hope
that the product might be used
to advantage in making bread,
but we did not have the best
of success. The mills could
not grind it enough, so it was
not altogether good to eat.
Somehow the old burr process
of grinding failed and many
thought our scheme offeeding
hungry Kansas was a failure.
The product was good for the
cattle, and when the farmer
could raise nothing else he
raised kafir.
Last year we experimental
more. Nearly every mill in
western and southern Kansas
was tried, Dut with poor sue
cess, for the flour was invaria-
bly, too coarse to be pleasant
to eat, although the flavor was
unsurpassed. We did not
despair, and two months ago
l came to Chicago, bringing
with me 5000 pounds Of k tffir.
For days | consulted with the
leading nlillers of the city in
regard to the grinding Of grain
and many of them tried new
ways of solving the problem.

What win BE Worn Daring the Con-
ing Scnson.


There is tendency 10 skirt trim
ming like our gradmothers wore. There
was n play in Cincinnati not long since,
the time of which was the good old days
OF 1920. Most any of the thin gowns
worn by the heroine would be consid-
cred highly fashionable now. The fine
I'D buff-colored lawn was covered with
large flowers of deeper hue. The skirt
was ruiiled clear to the knees. Quaint
sleeve caps of double ruiiles fell to the
elbows.
One of the latest Paris plates shows
a skirt made Of three deep founces
Gear to the waist. Some of the skirts
are gathered full down to the hips with
several rows of shirring One was
double skirt, the upper part being
graduated into large scallops around
the bottom, iirisfed with q full rufle,
giving the effect of an overslirt.
Surely fashion is expecting hot
summer. There is a perfect rage for
sheer goods of all kinds, the thinner
the better Even the shirt waists have
ceased to be in any degree mannish, be-
ing the daintiest feminine creations
of organdie and dimity. One of the
most striking displayed at recent pri-
vate view of a fashionable modiste, was
of dark blue and white striped organ
die. with rows of white lace insertion
set in the front; with il was worn blue
satin ribbon stock with wings Of lace
at the sides.
Nearly all of the thin materials, aside
from the beautiful new plaids, are in
large lowered patterns. A most beauti-
full design seen in one OF our large stores
was made up of large, highly colored
pansies on buff-colored ground. This
would be very stunning over chnnge-
| able taffeta, but the dantiest summer
maiden would have it made over airy,
plain-colored lawn of the same hue.
Many women cling to the silk Innings
because it sounds rich and they like
the rustic. But a younger and really
more summery gown is made of organ
! die with no lining. Some wear Innings
o. white swiss. The stores are full
of plain lawns TO 60 with all sorts OF
organizes, and also stiff lining OF
some kind that looks like silk for
| economically inclined persons. All
| systematic dressers are laying in then
stock OF organdies now. The PATTERN
are soon picked over and there is M
choice later. One woman says she re
members her experience last year whel
she wanted a green figured organdic
but thought she would wait until th'
season was later and prices were down
In the middle of the summer sh'
couldn't get n green organdie in town
