Through long period of
years wheat has had a protect
i've tariff of five cents bushel
and farmers were told of this
frequently in every political
campaign as a reason for their
voting for the protective policy.
During all this time we have
been one of the largest export
ers of wheat, so it is hard to
see how the tariff protected any.
Now diversified farming is no.
longer a theory but a condition
and some of the big milling
points of the northwest see
that the time is not far distant
when there will not be enough
wheat raised for home milling.
With five cent duty on Cana
dian wheat the result would
appear to be a five cent addition
to the home raised wheat, but.
it is now in order to demon
strate that the projection
which did not protect should be
removed at the time when it
has some show of protecting.
It may be all right out some of
us thick headed fellows fail to.
see it in that light at the first
glance.-Bufalo Journal.

Music and the living MODELS make the
matinees at the Lindell Hotel parlors one
Of the attractive shows of the week for

afternoon, scores of visitors stood for two
hours during the convention Of the West

This morning Mrs. Wade will permit all
st. Louis dressmakers to atteno the morn
ing lecture at the Century building,
whether they are member Of the a~ssocia-
ton or not.
Miss Emma G. Mullen opened the after
noon programme with an address on
"~Dressmakers 1 Have Net"
Miss Mullen kept the dressmakers and
their patrons in continuous good humor
by her clever description of the dress
maker in all her various moods and man
ners. She portrayed the modiste who is
always behind time, and the dressmaker
who sews too well. who does nothing but
sew and forgets about everything else.
There are only two things to a wom-
ans Dress said Miss Mullen. one is the
color, the other the lines. When you have
the lines and color established you have
your dress. The seamstress can do the
rest"

see how perfectly that light green. on the

the blend. 1t is getting Just enough Of a

the patrons. but you notice how the
women praise it. That is the best test for
