California was next in line, with a
yield of 1888 tons of sugar. In the
total United States, during 1905,

beet growing, producing 2,655,913 tons
of beets. These were manufactured
into 312,920 tons of sugar.

Fascinating Cloaks Share Honors With Coats

fitted wraps, witL odd facings set upon the openings like absurd little cuffs.
 Some fascinating little cloaks are very like those that everybody who came from London three or four, years ago fell in love with at Lib erty's and brought along in her train. Only, like the circular cape, they are cut on very much more cir cular lines. They boast the little hood, and heavy silk cord is tied in front by way of fastening.
 The prettiest of them all are of light blue-the palest, most silvery tint of it--broadc1oth, lined with silk of the same shade exactly or with one of the pompadour silks, or, with what is even lovelier, one of the new lining brocsdes, which come in such wonderful colorings. Old rose is popular, too, for them, only old rose is a more trying color to wear. And red ones-as like the famous little cloak of Red Riding Hood as two peas--are best liked of all for young girls.
 But the coats themselves, made on circular lines, of course. or perhaps echoing faintly in style the cut of mandarin's coat (perhaps made of cloth in that very blue), have more followers than either cloaks or wraps.

 There is talk of the old-fashion- ed circular cape coming back again into fashion, given even more sweep in its circular lines; for never since flares began have they been so marked. The new circular skirts, by the way, are built upon so ex- treme a circle that they get the most fascinating, and the trickiest, of rippling hems into their con- struction.
 Probably the newest thing is half coat and half-cape, the sleeves no more than indications of sleeves- more like the slashings of old-time

 Light gray, by the way. is more generally becoming by artificial light, especially if a shade with pink or lavender undertones is chosen in preference to a blue7gray.

It was sim ply trimmed with very little inc tor chon lace, with plain brown silk to match the deeper tone of the material. and touch of bluet.
 Some of the radium silk has almost the old foulard designs, but much more artistically woven. A charming one in white and French blue stripes, the stripe broken and toned down by pin point white dots. was co >~ed with mar row palm leaf shadowy figures in white.
 For exclusive house wear, very pretty are the pink, blue or lavender and white hair-line or cluster stripes. with large and small jacquard figures In white and a dot the size of a pea in q much darker tone - magenta on pink French blue on pale blue and royal purple on the lavender.
 These jacquard figures, by the way which are so much in evidence on the radium silks, are so called from the man who invented the process of weav- ing them. This process, which has never been improved upon, was nothing more than series of cards, winch lifted cer- tain strands of the silk out of the way while the threads underneath were woven, the strands later beng thrown up into a figure on top.
 Radium silk is also much used in white and black, either plain CT with diamond shaped figures in satin finish.

RADIUM SILK IN HIGH FAVOR

n ADIUM silk has finally arrived" Somewhat slow have we been \ V to. take up this r. exquisitely
 toned material which has had such vogue in Paris for the last few months. The best gowned among our women have already learned the charm fo- dainty. dressy costumes. but the coming fall and winter promises for it a regular furor.
 Surely, there are few fabrics that can better stand popular favor. There is a delicacy, lustre and wonderful color to the radium silks that make them pecu- harly satisfying to a refined taste.
 Akin to the best foulards and the liberty gauges Is it, with the best e.lali- ties of both. Heavier and finer weaves than the latter, it has all it's grace tul clinginess. with greater durability, while the softness and simple patterns Of the former are enhanced by a high sheen, caused by being woven of organ zine so fine that the single thread IS barely visible.
 But the chief beauty of the radium silkG is their opalescent coloring, so in- describably lovely. A pink will have the soft blush of the heart of a shell; the tint of the sky shining through fieeting cloud on a sunny day is seen in the bides. while the lavenders. greens. yellows. even the darker colors. have all the soft undertone that gives them beautiful iridescent effect
 With all it's softness of texture, this silk does not wrinkle easily. This recu- liarly adapts t for theF 5.ab borate gowns for afternoon and evening wear, for which it is chiefly, indeed, one might say, exclusively. used.
 For ordinary everyday purposes the radium silk lovely as 1t Is, would scarcely prove satisfactory, even in the darker tones; but, made up over a ma terial that takes the strain-a taffeta for instance--it is very desirable. 1t cleans as well as crepe dc chine, and may even be washed, with great care, in a pure soapsuds.

slim type. For young girls, how ever, they appear to the American eye a little too picturesquely senti- mental for any but evening wear.
 White shoes invariably accompany such costumes. They are made either of canvas or of kid-which is more fashionable this year than buckskin. High shoes are more fashionable tha1. low ones, and they are usually fastened with heavy flat pearl but tons. giving a gleve-like effect.

Voies and Grenadines Better Than Ever This Seaso1

Touches of black are upon almost all of them, usually black velvet. Velvet, for that matter, promises to be as popular as it was last winter, and that is saying a great deal. for last winter saw velvets at the height of their popularity.
 As to crepe de chine, it--even in its palest tints or white-is an eco- nomical investment for the woman whose house gowns have to do duty over several seasons, for it cleans and washes and dyes as practically no other silk does, and lends itself to all the wonderful dressings and shirring that everybody affects these days of piable materials.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1906-09-02

in silks of exactly the same tone as the material, or in Persian colors, their barbaric tones softened to the quietest of tints, yet preserving their character wonderfully. As often as with. the foulards that Paris has made such fascinating house gowns of, plain and embroid-' cred voiles are combined, with the prettiest of results-the combina- tion, in some mysterious way, not interfering at all with the scheme of trimming.
 On a few voile house dresses el- LOW sleeves are seen, but oftener the short sleeve of voile is eked out with a deep cuff of lace.

subdued Effects Promised For Fall

THE extremist will be unhappy
 this coming season-tbe day
 of loud and garish colors is over, for the time be1ng, and ad- vance models show a reaction in favor of subdued effects both for street and evening wear.

It is un- doubtedly moro appropriate for cold weather than hot, as it has par ticularly warm, comfortable look when worn by the few women to whom it is absolutely becoming.
 Grays also are to be good again, but not the pale dove tones to which we have grown accustomed. The steels and dark blue-grays are in evidence and two-toned effects rather than a solid color.

Education.

We devote a large amount of space,
this week, to some articles on educa-
ton. No other subject is so impor-
tant to the farmer The strong men
of the country come, almost without
exception, from the sons of farmers
1t has been shown, repeatedly by
statistics, that the rich and influential
business men of all great cities come,
almost without exception, from the
farmer boys who go to the cities to
seek their fortunes. This is likely to
go on in the future as it has in the
past. While it is important for the
good of the business interests, it is
to be regretted that so many of the
best intellects of the country districts
must be continually diverted to other
persuits.
These minds are also needed in the
new profession of farming. The day
has passed away when it is considered
that a boy who is too stupid to learn
is all right for a farmer. 1t has been
found that there is much need of in
telligent thought (brains), in the car
rying on of a modern farm, as in any
other profession.
If this is true, then it is important
that the farmer should use great care

Education for Farm Boys and Girls

Education for Farm Boys and Girls
ton for the farm boys and girls is
important everywhere. Cutie as much
SO for those of Florida as for those
of Nebraska, for whom the following
from the Nebraska Farmer, was writ
ten:
AS the first day of early fall draw
near, farm boys and girls are becom-
ing anxiously in the thought of where
they will spend the next school season.
Indeed, there are many who know
full we'll they will attend school the
coming year, having determined that
when they started upon their educa-
tional work beyond the high school.
Lucky is the boy or girl who has the
conviction and good Judgment and
tenacity and perseverance to map out
his or her school work and carry it,
through thick and thin, to the utmost
success. OF this class the few pale
into insignificance as compared with
the great mass of others who attend
in one place this year, and some other
place next year, and SO on, each sue
cessive year losing the advantage of
permanent advancement through
what was learned the year be-
fore Tt shift about in ones school
work is as foolish as to be shiftless
in any other kind of work, and the
net results of both are the same.
1t is particularly important that up
on starting away to school, the boy or
girl decide upon the course desired
and pursue it diligently and faith
fully. Parents can only advise in
this matter, the ruling element in the
child's decision being his or her de-
sire or tendency toward some certain
vocation. If no particular vocation
is chosen, it is well to prepare ones
self with broad, liberal knowledge
of the branches most necessary in the
different pursuits of the commercial,
industrial and social world. In fact
unless one is very Stud1OuS and IN
tensely born of a desire for research
and deep study, it is doubtful that
technical study in any certain work,
with the view to specializing in that
work, will net the best results To be
a specialist requires an interest so
deep and so intense in the thing being
specialized, that one must be born of
a love for the work There must be
conviction so deeply rooted in the
specialist that he will never cease to
feel that there is more to be learned

generalIze, or to take up a work in
which fundamental principles are cas-
lily understood and applied, and in
which a more liberal education, both
in and out of school is procured. The
! real specialist is book worm, STU
dent in one department of effort-and
| is so deeply buried in his chosen work
! that he fOrgets the outer world and
rarely broadens into the great, lib
eral thinker and man of affairs who is
an economist and a ready and judi
cious executor of every arising con-
tingencies.
Therefore it is we'll for the boy and
girl to decide upon the sort of educa-
ton which will best fit them for sue
cess in life. To take an agricultural
course, or a business course, or a
course in any department of training,
in the application of which we are
obliged to meet as they come and go
in business or social intercourse, the
masses of people of all industrial
work, but gives one a comprehensive
understanding and development in the
characteristics of initiative, resource
fulness, and executive ability which
means much to one in the present day
grind of the worlds business. If we
may be fitted to see and understand
the things which affect the universe
in business and social connection; if
we can see and understand the ruling
elements of economic governmental
strength and development; if we can
develop the strength of personality, |
and endeavor to meet the arising con-
tingencies, or every day affairs which |
naturally or unnaturally evolve out of
the daily routine of these departments
of business and social life and govern
ment, may we not feel that we are
fitted for doing fair justice to our
selves as we'll as to those about us,
In making a choice of educational
training the boy or girl should re-
member that there are certain branch
es of study that are fundamental
to success, both commercially and
socially. Beyond these branches of
study, there are branches of char
acter, personality, body and mind de-
velopment that are fundamental to
success in any life. Decide for your
self what these branches are and avail
yourself of them. In fitting ones self
for a life work it is not well to look
entirely upon the commercial aspect
of the preparation. Prepare for hap
plness as well as success. Prepare
for good health and contentment
Learn to buy judiciously and to sell
on a margin of fair profit to yourself !
and to your customers. Do not per-
NIT the affairs of your daily life to
