white louisine silk puffs The other
gowns the artist presents were inexpen-
sive following of fashions for white and
very light shades. In the initial is a
light gray wolfe, and in order from left
to right in the next picture are a white
cloth suit trimmed with white silk cord
and pearl buttons, light tan wolfe fin
ished with stitching and covered buttons
and trimmed with darker tan velvet, and
white canvas gown finished with silk
and tassels. Little ripple hounces are
much seen on tailor gowns and form a
very pretty style of trimming, as they
fall attractively and if cut circular and
have little fullness, are not bulky.

Whole or Ground Corn.

At the West Virginia station hogs
fed four weeks on ground corn gained
about % per cent more than similar
hogs fed on whole corn. 1t is explained
that the hogs had been previously get
ting ground corn, and the change to
whole corn was not relishel The re
suits Of twelve experiments at eight
different stations along this line show
an average OF sos pounds of whole
corn. or 412.9 pounds of ground corn
for 100 pounds of gain--that is. It re-
quires about 6 per cent less ground
corn to make pound of gain than
whole corn. Ii is generally concluded
from these experiments that unless a
farmer is located near mill Il win
not pay to have the corn ground, the
extra cost OF grinding more than coun-
terbalanclng the extra feed value of
the corn

attractive. Punjaub silks are to be pop
ular. There is no crush to them, they
are of fine appearance and can be worn
Tor almost any purpose. This material
stands packing in trunks and comes out
without wrinkles, which is a big recon-
mendation at this season. The more
abundant shadings are grays of gun
metal tones, and most of the weaves are
striped. Besides the stripes many pieces
have dots of white silk embroidered on.
These are particularly attractive. Pun
jaub silks are being made up in shirt
waist suits for walking. They are cut
just to clear the floor when standing STILL
but of course they must touch with each
step. A silk gown never should be short
er than barely TO clear, for the dressiness
of the goods forbids rough and ready cut
Many of these gowns are made in box
pleated skirts, the box-pleats stitched
down to the knees and from there allow
ed to fall free.
This model is seen also in shepherds
checks in woods, and if done we'll is very
pretty, but it has a serious fault that has
appeared some in wool gowns and which
is far worse and more likely to appear
in silk models. That is that there is not
seem graceful when the wearer is walk
ing. The desire for clinging effects has
made it easy to go to the other extreme,
and this must be guarded against. This
fault is worse in silk than it is in wool,
for there is a certain look of elasticity
to wool stuffs that is lacking in silks,
and as a result many silk suits made af-
ter this model give the wearer the APP
pearance in rear view Of having carefully
to measure the length of each step lest
she should break something. The same
can be said of some habit-back skirts.
They give very ugly effect in back un-
less just right, but the perfection exam
pie is fine enough to offset several horrid
examples.
Countless gowns of white and very
light stuffs make it hard for women who
are obliged to practice economy In dress

Fashion Notes.

Belts Of pique and other fabrics are
worn to match the shirt waist suit.
Children's sailors are more often fin
ished with the bows and ends in the
back.
Quaint conceits in jeweled buttons are
feature in dress ornamentation this
season.
hong and narrow buckles to be worn at
the back of the belt are steadily increas-
ing in favor.
Smart belts are of white calf or of
patent leather with pearl buckles in har-
ness pattern.
Frilled petticoats of taffeta are now
made for children, modelled the same as

Shirt waist suits of natural pongee are
relieved by piping of same material in

They Don OveraIIs or Short Skirts and
Save Many Wheat Crop.
The women Of Kansas are saving
many a big wheat crop these days.
Enough men to do the work it has been
impossible to obtain, ad in some instances
where the men have been receiving $3.50
day they have demanded So. This later
figure seems TO the farmers beyond rea-
son, and they have let the men go.
Here is where the women have come
to the rescue. A good strong girl is just
as effective labor machine as the aver
age man who lives In the city or town
and only farms it while the crops are
being harvested. So farmers girls, and
townfolks' girls, too, have donned short
skirts or overalls and presented them
selves on the labor market, tempted by
the high wages offered.
Forty or more girls in Salina alone,
comprehending the situation, volunteered
for work, and as a result some fields
near that town had as many women as
men working. Many of the girls are col
lege bred, being home on their summer
vacations from the State University. 1t
is safe to say that they will require no
artificial tanning preparation for their
compilations in order to prove that they
have been in the open air. The point
with some of them is, will they ever get
white again?

at Madison, III,
A frightful railroad accident occurred
at Madison, ILL.,, suburb of St Louis,
Friday. Two persons were killed out
right and many more were injured, sew
eral probably fatally.
The train was a Union Terminal sub
Urban, carrying people to work. The
accident was caused by the derailing of
the engine. 1t left the track and plung-
ed Into mud up to its driving wheels.
The train was moving at high rate of
speed and the engine took with il a num-
Der of cars. They crashed into one an
other, tearing up the track for sixty feet.
The train of eight coaches was filed with
people going to work. Scarcely a passen-
ger escaped injury.
One car was completely filled with
women, and their hysterical screams,
mingled with those of the injured and
dying, were heartrending. One woman's
head was crushed between two cars. An
other girl was cut in two. The scene was
narrowing. Many women worked brave
ly to relieve the suffering of the injured.
Though themselves badly bruised they
sent from one to another OF the help
less, giving them what comfort and help
they could.
