summer and then adds:
Did you ever hear OF farmers meeting
and deciding to raise tho price Of their
produets7 Not on your lise. The farm
ers pay tho prices that others pu, on
their goods. bu, when |, comes to having
others pay tho farmers priee-,hat is a
black horse Of another color. Ye, the
farmers are so independent"
Ono can hardly SEQ tho reason" or
the common sense in making statement
Of this kind. or course we've heard Of
farmers combining TO put up the price OF
their products. We have dozen eanta-
loupo associations in the Arkansas valley
organized for that very purpose. and ac-
eomplishing Il to u considerable extent
We have had the Greeley potato growers
combining TO put up the price OF spuds.
We have tho orange growers and the
prune growers and lemon growers and
tho olive growers Of California combining
for tho same purpose. And like lumber
men and the big steel trust. they live up
TO 1t Just as nearly as the law OF supply
and demand will let them. The attempt
OF reformers to array ono class Of the
people against another are Appeals to
Prejudice not Appeals to Reason" "
Combination seems to be tho order Of
the day in all lines Of industrial activity.
To deal with this fact and at the same
time secure the rights Of the public
should be the aim Of state and national
legislation.

of moods. She presents a different type
half a dozen times a day. so that one
is never bored in her company. while
the interest is constantly sustained by
wondering what phase will be present
ed next. Certainly the girl OF the new
century answers TO this description,
for she has almost as many sides as
there are facets to a diamond. She is
charmingly girlish il her simple white

driving about in her low basket wagon,
like girly girl of long ago. She is de-
cidedly masculine in all her riding toys,
with all the courage and dash of an
adventuresome youth in her pursuit of
sport by land and water Afterward,
strangest of all the transformations,
looking like a gnome from el6and, she
appears in goggles, visor and coat while
taking out her French racing bubble"

grimy. like a butterfly emerging from
a chrysalis, she finally reappears in a
bewitching French connection. with

Pannc for headgear, both in piece

A great vogue of green IS predicted
Weird shades of green mostly in adj
junctive touches in velvet ribbon, about
four inches wide, are to be la mode.
The new shapes are pretty, graceful
and far less eccentric than for some
seasons past. A raised side with
dropping back is a feature of many of
them in felt.
Wis effects in every color and com
binatioh are to be prominent trimming
features this autumn. Whole birds,
both large and small, and cocque
plumes are also shown as TO be among
the most favored hat garnitures.
Together with the favor of a higher

Newest styles in uaIrars.sinr.

From the styles in hair dressing worn
IT is safe to predict the coming ultra
fashionable couture The hair is worn
almost as low on the forehead as that
of Queen Alexandra's present dressing.
Instead of the bang, however. there
are soft, fat puffs and a part at the
side
Many persons are using adjustable
false hair under the puffs to produce
the effect of mass and to keep the hair
in place.
Hairdressers in England named
these additions coronation transfer
nations, and assured their titled Gus
toners that at the dramatic moment
when they heard the words, Peer
esses, assume your coronets." they
needed to have no fear of their hair be-
coming disarranged with one Of these
pieces deftly tucked beneath the puffs.
In America, where we are constitu-
tionally unable to assume coronets,
these fringes promise to become ex-
ceedingly popular for automobiling.
Small, close waves are entirely out
Of date, as is the long, useless curl,
which was given a temporary revival
last winter. Simplicity is the keynote
now. and wide, soft, natural waves
like those in the portraits of Romney
and Cosway, are altogether in favor.
The broad fluctuations have also a
practical as well as an aesthetic advan-
tage, for they require much less curl
ing with injurious hot irons than was
needed for the narrow ones.
In the back the hair is worn extreme.
ly low; even more so than last year.
Although the knot, when completed,
should have the appearance of pleats,
actual braiding is not part of the pro
cess.
First divide the hair into an unper
and lower strand, and then put a soft
loop low on the neck. and pin the end
in under so that it resembles part Of
a braid
The upper strand should be arranged
in the same manner and finished off
with round comb at tie top and shell
pins.-New York Herald.
