Plans are on foot among the saloon

that concerted attack is to be made

Not one cent has been given to the
Grand Army entertainment fund by

Corn SHOULD Be Cut.

s y 7 ,
ttI hope the day is not far distant
when the farmers Of the northwest will
cease leaving uncnt corn in the fields.
Every acre Of cornstalks is equal in
fodder value to a. ton Of timothy. Out
of every one hundred to one hundred
and fifty acres of corn, only ten are
cut. the rest is husked in the field. High
wages and the scarcity Of farm help
are the chief reasons why this crop is
not being harvested.
80 We have seen no damaging rust in
our travels about the northwest. OF
course, there is more or less leaf rust,
but that does no harm. We spend on
an average three hours on each farm
Part Of this time is spent driving over
the land, inspecting the crops, but we
never spend less than an hour talking
with the owner and questioning him
in regard to his methods as, to rotation
stock-raising and other details.'

PROFESSOR SHAW SAYS FARMERS
SOW TOO MUCH GRAIN.
Examination Of Entries for J. J. Hill

Too much wheat is being sowed on
the farms Of Minnesota. The soil is be-

must follow rotation OF about ten
cultivated grasses, such as timothy I, al !,

badly neglected.
This is the opinion Of Professor

ers four yards of pompadour ribbon and
three and one-half yards of velvet ribbo9
are required. The girdle-a wide one-is
more effective If made in folds or pleats.
though a plain one, If desired, will be en-
tirely in keeping. The ribbon that forms
the shoulder straps Is left its full width
over the shoulders, being pleated closely
where it joins the girdle. From the bust
line to the waist the shoulder straps are
held In place by narrow horizontal strips
of black velvet ribbon fastened with tiny
gold buttons
In making a kimono twenty yards of rib
bon. twenty-four yards of insertion and
twelve yards of lace are needed. The lace
and ribbon In alternate rows are Sewed to-
gether in a perfect square. A circular
piece is cut out for the neck. This is fin
ished with a fluffy ruffle of lace fulled on
like ruche.
The sleeves are made by attaching rib
bons to either side of the points, one of
which falls over either arm. At the OPEN
and either side rosette and streamer of
ribbon that give "chic" effect Lace and
insertion also trims the bottom of the gar
ment.
For a separate petticoat flounce that may
be worn with any underskirt seven and
three-quarters of pompadour ribbon, five
yards of insertion. with five yards of lace
edging, are used. The f1ounce. any width
desired. Is made of alternate circular rows
Of silk and insertion with ruf1e edged
with lace at the bottom. This may be
pinned or sewed to any underskirt SO that
detaching or changing the extra ruffie from
one petticoat to another is the work Of but

Ribbon Accessories for Well-gowned
Women

Dainty ribbon dress accessories are find
ing particular favor with c&ell-gowned
women, for they are artistic and eminently
practical, as they give the plaihest frock
and simplest lingerie waist dressy ap-
pearance that makes them fit for formal
wear For business women. as we'll as for
the housewife and society matron, these
practical adjuncts to the wardrobe will be
found decidedly serviceable. for they can
be slipped plain gowns, imme-
diateiy Transforming them into costume
elaborate enough for any occasion.
The Jumpers and girdles with straps
over the shoulders are charming and lend
decided air to all otherwise. According
to one woman, These ribbon pieces will
do away with lot Of necessary dressing,
for If by slipping on pretty light-colored
Jumper or "girdle'' a person gets the
same result as is secured only after dom
ming frock-what is the use of having
the extra work and bother of changing
ones gown.
Jumpers and girdles are not the only
serviceable articles made from ribbons,
for there are pretty kimonos with lace in
may be applied to any undersk1rt and
little tea aprons that are decidedly attrac-
tive worn when presiding at afternoon teas
at home.
To make Jumper" of delicate POM
padour ribbons that would be appropriate
for either afternoon or evening wear nine
yards of silk will be necessary. First, a
bethany width desired-must be made
folds or pleats To this girdle two lengths
of ribbon must be attached SO that they
will cross both back and front, passing
over the shoulders and fastening the right
piece at the left of the girdle and vice
versa with fancy buttons. the ends con-
tinuing in long streamers to the bottom OF
the skirt
For jumper girdle without the stream
