orchards will be wiped out If the val

Where the Vine Grows

. HE interest of wine grape men

I" HE interest of wine grape men

and the assertions are freely made by
experienced grape growers that Sutter
VIII in few years be one of the
banner grape growing sections of the
country. 1t is found that our soil here
is especially adapted to the wine va
rleties and that they grow here to per-
fection without irrigation, distinction
not claimed by the other grape sections
of the State. Farmers who
choose to plant grapes have standing
offer from most any of the reliable
wineries that the proprietors will en-
ter into a contract with the growers for
ten years at prices ranging from $11 to
$l4 per ton, and some still higher prices
have been offered Wine grapes pay at
$S per ton, and pay big at s14 per ton.
With the percentage of the acreage of
vines reduced 80 per cent in other
grape sections of the State and with
the demand for wine so great and
offers to contract for a term of years
so fattering the future certainly looks
good for old Sutter and her land
owners.-Sutter Independent.

struggling for the supremacy in tie

From the extremely feminine IDEAS
typifed in the lingerie costumes fash
ion is now establishing itself on a
more masculine basis, and many OF
the most characteristic features will
expressed in mems attire.
1t is plainly evident that this sea
son the designs are combining mas
culine and the feminine effects in
such way as to make practical the
picturesque features of the essential
ly feminine, and to make picturesque
the practical features of the mascu-
line form.
No Change in Basic Form.
The origin OF the fashions for the
coming seanson can be ascribed to no
particular period, the changes being
rather in matter of ie'ail than in
the basic idea.
Dark Tones the Rule.
There IS strong tendency towards
dark color tones forstreet wear. The
use OF light tones VIII be largely con
fined to evening costumes.
Black viii be a leading feature in
fabrics. trimmings and accessories
during the winter. Theirs is decid-
ed tendency to make extensive use
of black for street wear, including
suits and wraps, as well as for the
more dressy evening costumes com
posed of the sheer fabrics.
Makeup of Garments
The masculine influence is appar-
ent in the many different coat styles
brought out for The fall season.
This influence has besn apparent |
since early summer when there was
a sudden breaking into the distinctly
feminine reign Of fancy suits and
costumes. by means Of the severely
simple tailored SUITS consistingt of
coat and skirt.
Fabric Is a strong point IN these
suits,--as much of the variation and
novelty is given in the material.
