Crochet Lace Bobs Into Favor.


The old packed away crocheted
tides and doylies may now pay a
modish role in decorting gowns and
jackets!
A wide spreading collar of this de-
scription, meeting under the chin and
the front edges faring toward the
shoulders, was recently dipped into
weak tea till it reached a charming
ecru and then had the front edges
connected with straps Of narrow black
velvet, each one pointed in the mid
die, Stimulating VS.. This was worn
over house gown of cid rose cash
mere, and was certainly charming
addition.
The cuffs were fashioned from a
dolly cut into halves, the widest part
sewn to the upper part of the arm
The collar was of the deep variety,
a round-shaped piece, and the border,
which was the same width, slightly
fiared. Certainly such a set would
have cost $40 at least if bought at the
stores.

Actual Shirt Waist Novelty.

Behold an actual novelty in shirt
waists! The newest mannish waist
has taken unto itself little ripping
peplum or basque not over two inches
deep. This is worn with straight,
narrow belt. A wide stock of the same
material points down at the front and
is finished by Toby frill. This is
distinct innovation for the shirt waist.
Plain and colored linens wash silks
and challies make up in this style
prettily for girls.

The one-Pjcce Dresa.

Seasons come ard seasons go, but
the popularity OF the one piece dress
for little girls remains the same. In
winter these practical modes are al
ways desirable. One mode has deep
plaits in both back and front, which
allow of graceful fullness in the skirt
section. The sleeve is of the simple
one-piece variety and the trimming Is
effected by means of shaped straps
and small pearl buttons. Henrietta,
serge, cha1lie or any Of the soft win
ter materials are suggested. Size 8
years requires five yards of twenty
seven-inch material.

methods for its determination. One
of the best methods is to sray the
fields once or twice during the season,
killing the young mustard plants but
leaving the crop unharmed. This en-
tails vast amount of hard work on
the part of the farmer.
Like the Russian thistle, the tum-
bling mustard will choke bitches. In
some sections where the tumbling
mustard had gained a foothold thous-
ands of acres have been summer fall
lowed in order to kill the pest, entail
ing heavy loss to the farmers. The
remedy recommended for this section
at the present time is pulling and
burning. This should be done at once
before the seed begins to scatter.
There is another weed to which I
wish to call particular attention at
this time, because it is so small that
it may be overlooked until it practi-
cally ruins the hay crops. I refer to
the dodder plant. sometimes called
the love vine. This weed is a true
parasitic plant. The seeds are very
small, germinate in the ground and
when the plant makes its appearance
above the surface it winds arounds
the cultivated plants. throwing out
little suckers which penetrate the
plants. 1t grows rapidly, spreading
all over the fields and chokes out or
destroys the crops.
81 would advise every farmer to
thoroughly examine his hayfields and
watch for the golden heads of the
dodder plant which he will find
wrapped around the alfalfa or clover
stalks. The dodder seeds about the
middle or latter part of August in this
section of the state and it should be
the dodder is seen in spots or isolated
| places, good way to destroy it is by
burning. Place a forkful of hay or
straw on the infested patch and set
fire to it, being careful to see that the
entire patch is burned over. This will
destroy the dodder and the cultivated
plants will come up again. Sometimes
whole field has to be cut and burned
| OF account of the dodder or else
plowed up and cultivated to hoed
crops until the dodder is exterminated.
"None of these weeds have as yet
obtained a very strong foothold on
the Twin Falls tract, and If the far

road company will use due diligence

controlled with comparatively little
labor and cost. The time to begin
work is right now"

Woodward, Okla, Aug. 26.-(East
oregonian.) 1.-The Oklahoma of 1906 |
is not the vast wilderness of 1898.
The buffalo grass plains are now
fruitful fields; the knolls where the
antelope Craze and watched the in
coming hordes of white wagons, are
now the sites of school houses and
the prairie dog "towns" are peach or
chards and corn fields.
Perhaps no other spot on the face
of the earth has developed in the past
10 years as has the Cherokee strip"
rode into the strip '12 years ago
and know well how it looked then. 1t
was one unbroken stretch of plain and
sand dune. We Travelled over the
plains without roads, the sun being
our guide by day and the Polar star
by night. We crossed streams wher-
ever we came to them in the days
journey and camped at night on the
level prairie. where the horizon all
around you looked like the edge of
the world. The memory of that wilder
| ness of buffalo grass will always be
with me. To an Oregonian, born and
reared in the mountains, the monotony
of the prairie, the unbroken solitude
and silence and vast level stretches
of Oklahoma are things never to be
forgotten.
But rode into a different Oklaho-
ma this week. Where l saw miles of
grass and unbroken prairie 12 and 13
years ago, l now see cotton bursting
into bloom, corn fields tinged with
autumn's golden hue and peach or.
: chards and wheat stubble and miles
fupon miles of kafflr corn. cane, millet.
peanuts, peach trees and vines and
alfalfa and waving meadow grass.
I can scarcely locate the old trail
that led from Woodward to Richmond
down the north Canadian river.
| Broad roads are laid out on section
lines. Fine houses stand near where
sod shanties marked the hillsides and
young mules sport in knee-deep grass
where pastures are now inclosed.
Claims on the bench land which l
rode over in 1894 and refused to To-
cate upon are now worth from $12 to
S25 per acre. Settlers have crowded
into the very heart of the "black jack"
forests-the lightest, cheapest and
sorriest land in the strip" Every
acre of land has been entered. Many
of the claims have been sold three
and four times, each sale seeing a few
hundred dollars added to the price.

The attention of superintendent
Mcpherson was called to the fact that
weeds were now beginning to seed on
the Twin Falls tract and he was asked
to give his views regarding the proper
means of keeping them down, says
the Twin Falls News.
What is a weed?" he was asked.
"a weed is a plant out of place, or
of no use to man." said the superin-
tendent This definition, however,
has a different meaning in different
localities. A weed may be weed in
one locality and a. plant in another,
or II may be a plant which, when cul-
tivated is of use to man but becomes
a pest when allowed to run wild. One
OF the worst pests which has appear
ed on the Twin Falls tract is the Rus
sian thistle. While in the true sense
ot the word this plant is not this
tie. yet. because of its prickly nature,
It is classed as such. The Russian
thistle belongs to the same family as
asparagus and sugar beets. In its ma
tive land. Russia, the people used to
burn it in order to get baking soda
hence its name, 'salsola kali
"The Russian thistle first appeared
in the United States in 1873, in South
Dakota. evidently having been brought
over in flax seed from Russia. 1t
can be readily recognized because of
its resemblance to the eastern tumble
weed and on account of its being
marked with red stripes along the
stalks. especially as it nears maturity
The seeds ripen about the middle OF
August in this section, consequently
the farmers should get busy right
away and pull them up and burn them.
One Russian thistle will bear proba-
bly, a million seeds II allowed to tum-

'sThe Russian thistle is a noxious

ducing spines which are irritating to

road sides and uncultivated patches,

other irrigated sections have lost

Now is the time to destroy this
thistle and every field and ditch bank
should be gone over and the weeds
pulled, piled and burned. A few
hours or days spent in this work nov
will save the ditch company and tht
farmers thousands of dollars. The
only way to get rid Of the Russian
thistle is to get the habit and go afte
