Do not cut your barley before 1t IN
thoroughly ripe. Second, shock and
cap well. Third, do not thrash out
Of shock. Fourth, stack your barley
and let it sweat and cure In stack,
take care so that it does not heat in
bin after thrashing. BY following
these instructions you will improve
the quality of your grain and thereby
realize the highest price in the mar
ket. The Maltsters will absolutely re-
fuse to purchase barley which haa
been otherwise handled. John Moth,

SEVEN CHILDREN ARE
DROWNED IN THE CEDAR

Cedar Rapids.-Eight children at a
picnic on the river bank only three
blocks from home went wading on
Thursday afternoon. The smallest one
stepped into deep hole in the river
and in trying to rescue her six others

CLARA USHER, age 16. ....
The Sweeting children lived with
their father near Ellis park on the
outskirts of the city. Clara Usher
was the daughter of Sweeting's
housekeeper, and the Coye children
were her nieces, who were here on q
visit. 49,. ....
Ruth Klersey, the only survivor,
said they, were wading when little
Lucille Sweeting stepped off shelf in
the river bottom into a deep hole
Hazel Sweeting rushed after her and
also slipped into the hole. Then the
next girl rushed after her, and so
they kept trying to save each other
until all of the girls except Ruth
Klersey had been drowned. She
then ran home and gave the alarm.
Four bodies were quickly removed
from the water, but it was too late to
resuscitate them. At o'clock all
of the bodies had been recovered ex-
cept that of Clara Usher. They were
taken home and laid in a row amid
the sobbing of hundreds Of men and
women LIE. .t.-.. WIZ
The children had gone with Mrs.
Usher, who took her baby. The baby
fretted and Mrs. Usher went home
with it.

German Patent Office Faults.

The German patent Office comes in
Tor much censure. One would suppose
such an institution to exact no more
of inventors than is needed to pay
current expenses, but in reality the
charges are so high that the state

Is pointed out that for poor inventors
matters are almost as bad as they
were when Gutenberg, after inventing
the art of printing, lived in poverty
and finally had to pawn his apparatus.

TTN1H picturesque note is dominant in par
lezzSx7sS But how could it be otherwise when
lAs@SNI the revival of the brilliant and dash
ing modes worn during the gaysome
days of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries
hold us in their enticing sway? Of course the
parasol maker welcomes the inspiration and In
consequence we have poetic fantasies in these
overhead beautihers that will surely demohsh
more than one womans economical plans.
When woman has but limited sum to in
vest then let her put it in several parasols in
place of elaborate affair, unless perchance she
is fortunate in the possession of a couple left
from last season. And let her pay more
than usual attention in the choice of color for
it is to be summer of color symphonies in
old rose, buff, dull blues, black and white eff
feets
A single color will sweep from the summer
girls pumps to her parasol, The alternate of
the fashionable caprice is to introduce a dashing
bit Of color by way of the pumps, girdle. gloves,
hat or parasol, consequently the reason for choos
ing the color of ones paraso wisely is obvious.
A rosy pink parasol puts the finishing touches
on toilette of this becoming hue and is also
very effective on a white frock with pink furbe-
lows And right here let me say that many
girls are going in for white gowns, and two be-
coming eolors, such as pink and buff, or blue
and lavender, building their wardrobes entirely
upon these colors in combination with white,
consequently they may enliyen the immaculate
toilette With touches of color fancy wills

natural hue, is very good, and the edges are
often scalloped and embroidered in the long and
short stitches.

RIOT OF FLORAL EFFECTS
Picturesque to pleasing degree are the at
tractive designs shown in misty howered silks
and the brilliant borders of Powered ribbon
Many of the loveliest silks patterned after
the faint, delicate colorings of the Marie An
toinette silks, that have become SO fashionable
for dressy toilettes,
All manner of color schemes are available in
these silks, so that parasol may very nearly
correspond with figured silk, organdie or the
predominant hue match the gown. The ma
jority of the silk Aorals are well covered and
some have thelr surface broken by a series of
Valenciennes lace ruthes, pleasing touch by the
way. A design of this description is shown di-
rectly under the left panel. The handle may
be OF natural wood with rosette and tassel to
match leading color, or handsomely enameled in
color.
RIBBON BORDERS FAVORED
Warp printed taffetas or of plain cream tint,
with fancy border at top and border of wide
warp print sash ribbon joined by hemstitching
are very attractive and sale for them is steady
Borders are still more attractive when color

SUN RAY PARAsoLs OF CHIFFON

The greatest novelty is the sun ray parasol
OF course this had to come, since the fan plaie-
ings have entered almost every other niche Of
the summer girls wardrobe. Coored chiffon
with lace border is certainly very becoming
headpiece, but only for those who can afford to
have them plated often the moisture makes
them impossible.
Chiffon parasols are for the most part trimmed
with deep borders of self material that is put
into bands of shirring simply rufAed along
the edge or cut up into deep pointed panels that
are filled with rufhings Chiffons are trimmed
with both fine and heavy laces Chantilly being
great favorite The same delicate lace is
largely employed as covering for plain silk
parasols.
RIBBON AND HAND PAINTED MODELS
The most exquisite model of chiffon para
sol and the most costly, too, is embellshed with
signed in minute posies and rocco patterns
Roses, violets, hlies-ofthe-valley, forgetme nots
sweet peas and other favorites are realistically
done in ribbons almost too tiny and thread-liks
il would seem for practical use.
Hand painted taffetas in ravishng horals add
TO the list Of Injuries in parasoldom The
handles have the touch of the artistic, too
Whitewood, furze or lockwood are handles seen
on lingerie models. Colored enamels, swans
necks, parrot and animal heads are also abund-
ant. Gun metals stunningly combined with
eolored crystals, and nobs of favrie glass further
entice the susceptible fancies of eapricious wom-
ankind
Bows Of colored ribbon, chiffon Of a heroic size
will be worn, and black velvet bows with short
streamers are the height of chic in Paris B0ws
of black chiffon, dotted net and tulle that simu-
late butterfly are equally as smart

body of it is moire, the narrow rufhes chiffon,
and the diamond like decorations of cerice chiffon
cast their becoming reflection upon milady's
features
The linen coaching parasol with its prim Dor
der and hand embroidered initials is the best
type of morning sunshade.
Plain taffeta parasols with border of silk
braid put into tiny scroll pattern and a Dresden
or plain color for a narrow border is another
attractive model in the same class. Many greens,
especially resedas, fiery reds, wine reds, pink In
bewilderinR assortment, and very English black
and white stripes, checks and courageous plaids
number aKonf other additions of the coaching
model.
LINGERIE AND RIBBON EFFECTS
The lingerie fad is particularly manifest among
this seasons parasols and if one pleases, the
price of an elaborate handmade model will be
almost as much as the cost of q gown. Seventy
five dollars was the price a woman paid the
other day for one that made every woman within
her radius jealous
handkerchief linen is favorite material for
embroidering purposes, as the work stands out
well from the surface Batiste is also called
into play and is especially soft and becoming,
Parasols are much treated as lingerie frock or
blouse. They are embroidered in all manner Of
padded work, eyelet patterns, overlaid with lace
nsets and cut up by bands of Vslencennes lace
until the real mission of the parasol has given
way to it's ornate decoration that admits tiny
sunbeams. Silken Innings are therefore not infre-
Quent, Squares Of 6let lace are very effective.
