DR.. O. H. Green is contracting With
the farmers to grow sugar corn for new
opfn cannery which is to be built during
the coming month. He has already
closed contracts for AGO acres, and the
factory will positively be erected and
operated this season. Hon. w. B. Baker
of Aberdeen, Md, who is at the head Of
the new enterprise wasin town this week
looking for suitable location for factory,
but at this time it has not been definitely
settled, but in all probability site along
the railroad will be selected. DIR. Green
wishes us to state that the seed corn for
the first planting can be had at anytime
after May I'd, by calling at his residences.
Growing sugar corn is something new to
our farmers. but many who reside near
Odessa claim the crop to be decidedly
more profitable than field corn, and no
doubt after growing the crop our farmers
will realize what their brother farmers
on the East side say is true.

THE BABY'S PARASOL
THE COVERS COME READY TO AT
TACH TO THE FRAME.
Novel Designs for the Small Boys
Sailor Suit-Cut-Out
Work.

Written for The Evening Star.
When the spring days come and the baby
carriage or go-cart is brought from the
storeroom it will be necessary to think Of
the parasol for protecting baby's eyes.
Many mothers no doubt know that dainty
parasol slips can be purchased for less than
they can be made for at home, SO they
struggle with the problem of covering old
foundations.
These covers come ready to attach to the
framework Of any parasol and are well
made. A representative one Is of point
desprit and has double founces Of the
same. Each fiounce is edged with three
rows Of white satin baby ribbon.
The fad for Madeira or cut-out work has
also invaded the baby parasol realm, and
these covers can be purchased in any large
store.
For the mother who has time to do the
work at home, there could be no more
pleasant task than to embroider a dainty
piece of sheer India linen for parasol slip.
. After the design is stamped the pattern
Is run with embroidery cotton. In the open
work portion of the design the material is
partly cut away with sharp scissors enough
Of the fabric being left to give requisite
firmness to the edge The satin stitch is
invariably used throughout in the real
Madeira work, but some women prefer to
use the buttonhole stitch in the open-work
portions, as it is simple to do and is strong.
A Work of Love.
One mother made an entire suit of cut
work for her layette. Even the flannel
sacque, the long kimona and the shoes were
embroidered in this manner. The shoes
were made of heavy white louisine silk, and
were lined with pale blue silk, which
showed through the cut-work. The shoe
was then Joined in the back with the
wrong side out. after which it was over
handed to soft, white kid sole.
The small girl as well as her brother
must have at least one sailor suit, with
patriotic insignia on the blouse. Here
a few hints for the mother who has
never done embroidery of this sort.
After the design is made, place over it a
piece of tissue paper or tracing muslin,
which should be accurately marked. Make
of this a pattern of cardboard, which
must be perfect, If symmetery of de-
sign is desired. This light weight card
board is then stitched to the material, and
the embroidery done over it in raised eff
feet. Pasteboard can only be used on
flannels.
Papier mache letters, monograms, stars,
flags, anchors and other designs can be
purchased for this purpose. These are
pierced with holes through which the nee
die readily passes. Ordinary paper is Of
ten used on wash fabrics, as even this thin
substance gives the raised effect and serves
as an outline.

Americas Women's Hunt Club.

From the Illustrated Sporting News.
Denver boasts the unique distinction of
having the only hunt club in this country
composed exclusively of women. This Ar
raya Hunt has roster Of forty accom-
plished riders, with Miss May Cordes as
mistress of the hounds. The two whippers-
in, who have charge of the pack Of fifteen
hounds, are the only men connected in any
way with the organization. Not only are
all the offices of the club from president to
historian, filled by women, but they make
the various arrangements for their meets
and attend to all their own matters of
finance. The most interesting fea ture of
the Denver club is that every woman rides
astride. In their experience it has been
demonstrated that more security to the
rider and comfort to the mount are insured
by the use of the mans saddle. If all things
go as arranged, this western club is to have
it's counterpart in New York. There are a
score of women in and about New York
who have heartily entered into the project
of forming an organization patterned on
like lines. The names of Mrs. Thomas
Hitchcock, jr., and Miss Marion Holloway
have been suggested for mistress of the
hunt. Hardly less well known than Mrs.
Hitchcock, jr.. as an admirable rider is Miss
Holloway, who owns a stock farm and
whose knowledge of horses is extensive.
Hunting the coyote is a much more exciting
sport than following the hounds after foxes
or the drag, but the New York women will
have to content themselves with the last
named as the coyote is not native of
these parts.

THE AMERICAN HUSBAND,
Some Observations as to His Charming
Characteristics by Londoner.

SAoA oSIeAASIiSS NY Aouuouef.
From the London Telegraph.
An American young man does not as
rule, look forward to marriage nor prepare
for it by saving any considerable portion
of his ante-nuptial income. When he mar
ries it is usually on short notice and be-
cause he has fallen very desperately in
love with some one and cannot find it in
his heart to wait until cold caution de-
clares the venture advisable. Even when
an engagement is long one he usually
squanders so much on gifts and entertain
ments for his fancee that there is only q
very moderate amount to begin housekeep-
ing on. Then before his marriage the
young American of the middle class begins
to give evidence of what is to be his chief
national characteristic as a husband-his
unfailing, unSelfish and almost improvident
generosity.
The middle-class husband in America
rarely interfereS with the affairs of the
household. He hardly knows the cost Of
staple articles of food. AS rule he does
not make his wife regular allowance
either for household or personal expenses,
but gives her as much as he can spare,
freely, but with a lack Of system that is
not conducive to the best outlay of their
income.
The young American husband is also very
indulgent to his wife's fondness for fine
clothes. He would far rather have an
extravagant wife than dowdy one. and
although he grumbleS occasionally at a
millinery bill, in reality he glories in the
respondent appearance of his wife in her
fine feathers. The American husband is
rare who does not concede his wife's right
to expend a much larger sum with her
dressmaker than he does with his tailor
Indeed he often leaves his tailor alto
gether and cheerfully repairs to the ready
made clothing house in order that his wife
may have more money for extravagant
finery.
