The OLD WAY AND THE NEW WAY

One Of the most interesting reports of
the census bureau is that on agricultural
implements, just issued. "A computation
Is made as to the potential saving in the
cost of human labor through improved
implements, machines and processes, at
the rate per bushel or ton of seven lead.
ing crops of 1899. , -,
1t Is shown that the aggregate saving
on. these crops, through the present eco
nomfc methods, as against the old-time
way of hand labor chiefly, aided by a few
rude labor saving implements Of an i'm
perfect character, IS actually S6S1, ,47f,S ,S27
for 1895. In the corn crop the new eco
nomic labor methods saved 523,27e,642;
in the wheat crop the saving was s7s, 1884,,
.667; oats, $50 1856, 200; rye, s1,4OS,950; bar
ley, 1928, ,4S0; white potatoes, $7,366,S2O;
hay, Fs10oa4. 1858. z. : - :. :. -.
These figures ARE very impressive. The
vast economy in production in this direc-,
tton is repeated in other Industries in
which human labor has been displaced by
machinery. Yet the old predictions that
machinery of the labor saving kind was
inimical to labor have signally failed Of
fulfilment, as the displaced labor in one
branch of human industry finds employ
ment directly in new industries brought
into being by the inventive genius Of men;
which seems unfailing in it's power to pro-
duce mechanical devices whose manufac-
ture alone gives employment to millions.
At the close Of the last, century, when
hand labor was displaced by the inven-
tions of Hargreaves, Arkwright and oth-
3ers, the working people in England de-
stroyed spinning jennies, cardingI ma
chimes and other la Dor saving machinery
wherever they had a chance. Even the
upper and middle classes to Ia great ex-
tent looked with suspicion upon machin-
cry and it was some time before labor
perceived that machinery was not the
cruel enemy it was by their ignorance
conceived to be. 5. IN this country there
was comparatively. little resistance to ma
chinery in the early stages OF our great
industrial career. We have given to the
outside world most Of the triumphs OF
mechanical skill which have stimulated
! industrial production among the most en-
Iterprising nations. We stand first and
foremost in the manufacture of agricultu-
raj machinery an industry which nat
urally came into being to supply the needs
of our ever expanding agricultural ac-
tiYity from the Atlantic to the Pacific. AS
In other directions we have left the whole
world behind in the manufacture of per-
feet agricultural implements. Our farm
ing implements are found throughout the
four great territorial divisions of the
earth. During the last ten years our ex-
ports of this kind have Increased from

to the junior senator. It is now up to the

election to feeling against, the s.bpsses." They
have thrown Reese off the state ticket, and
his friends off the state committee, and it is
now up to them to see what showing they;
can make for the state ticket in Ramsey
county. They say, that the defeatSof Reese
and the shelving Of Warner mean 1900 votes
to the ticket in the capital city.
There is some soreness over Ferris removal
from the committee. OF course Ferris de-

off because he was a candidate for Office.

Ferris could only be put on the committee
by leaving off Dan Gum Gunn was not n
candidate, and Ferris was, hence Ferris went.
There is a little story behind the conversion
of certain sixth district statesmen to Van

consin, will hail with satisfaction the In
dications that the triumph of the COVER
nor in the great battle he has fought
aginst the stalwarts is not to make un-
likely the reelection Of Senator -Spooner.
It Is not to be denied that there has
been some fierce opposition to and bitter
denunciation of Spooner in the ranks of
La Follette's followers. They have count
ed him one of their enemies and have
appointed him to suffer along with the
rest of the defeated. .<-,..,<. r.. ..., -.
However that may be, there are plenty

enthusiasm. It might be added that
the two are now racing In France.
Miss Anna Sands and Miss Brooks,
daughter of Mortimer Brooks. were also
among the early devotees. Mrs. Adolf
Ladenburg is prominent among those
who run their own machines, and her
brother, Mr.. Eban Stevens, with his
wife, is an enthusiast who likes to dis
pense with the service of a chauffeur.
1t is the correct thing to have several
automobiles in the stables. OF course,
no one who aspires to fashion is with
out at least one, but it is better to have
900 to 100000 and a lighter vehicle
or two (costing from $1,000 upwards).
Clarence Mackay has six in his stable.
Mrs. Mackay, however. refuses to
catch her husbands enthusiasm. She
always drives horses, and he never.
Another case of such matrimonial dis
agreement as to the charm of the auto
is to be found in the John Jacob AstoT
family. He drives an auto every day
of his life: but his wife dislikes to set
foot in one. There is complete harmony
however, in the household of Mr.. James
Kernochan. Both Mr.. and Mrs. Kerno-
chan have a deep dislike to the new
fad; they not only will not drive one
or have one in their stables, but they
will not allow them on their estate at
Hampstead. They are positively an

make a call. But this couple are unique

effects which now enrapture the I'M

of the most desirable or these ready

one Of those dim, soft blues-with the
bodice and skirt in fine tucks These
portions of the suit, to accommodate
the tucking, are in a lightweight linen,
the coarse loosely woven sort. The
band trimming, which is stitched with
black, and the fleunce section of the
jupe is in closer and heavier weave.
Cut in Nshaped pieces this forms
stylish shoulder and hip yoke. with
straight bases Gaping the sleeves.
Wider pointed bands outline the skirt
flounce, and a shaped belt of black
patent leather neatly girdles the waist.
The entire costume is unlined.
Brown butchers linen. the heaviest
used for. costumes. realizes the second
toilette, which displays bodice trim

The lower portion of the bodice of this,
in up and down box pleats, with a
tucked round. the jupe fiounce and
yoke and sleeves of the suit being of
the plain linen. A neck ruffle of black
silk muslin is an effective detail with
this costume which is also without
lining
Mercerized linen, in a dull, artistic
green, is the texture of the third
dress. The blouse bodice of this is en-
tirely and the upper part of the skirt
are bust decoration of diamond-shaped
pieces. held down by small black bone
buttons. The sides and back of the
skirt are also box pleated; the apron

needlework. The high collar band is
likewise embroidered in black. and

mon dash are among those shown. The
Irsimplest and yet most stunning of the
| lot might be worn by a young woman
who wants to play at Maud Muller,
for incredible as it may seem her fin
| cry might even go hay-mahng and not
be greatly damaged.
Sage green and tan chambrays forms
the basis of her splendors-both war
ranted wash tintS in this material.
The model of the gown is especially
charming. Ii is also the most novel
, thing seen this season, and what is
better still ii is one of a small family
/. Only two other frock were seen in the
same design, and they were in differ
ent cOlors.
The gown proper is made of the tan
chambray, with the top of the circu-
lar skirt fitted at sides and back with
/ fine tueks. The dim soft green forms
the trimming, which is outlined every
where with black stitching. On the
tucked blouse the contrasting color
shapes a stole collar whose stockless
finish is especially becoming to round
young Threats. The pretty elbow
sleeves have an inner-ar tucking,
which bulges the outside in graceful
puffs. They are finished with deep
founces. edged with the same seal
loped band of green which borders the
skirt. Green bone buttons ornament the
bodice, dotting the scallops of the coll
lar at the chest and bust. The epau-
lette shaping of this collar over the
shoulders is a bewitching feature for
slight figures.
AS to the hat to be worn by this
smart young woman it should be as
simple as effective. The shape might
be of sage green straw, with a black
liberty satin scarf, drawn through yell
low straw rings, forming the trim
ming.
1t has been years since straw gar
