Still Open to Entry

Following is what a recent buyer,
who attended the Opening October 1st
and secured land after the Drawing,
says of the Project and the remaining
unsold acres:
IT have located on 100 acres of the land
under your canal system, and, though my num-
Der came out among the last and | thought
my chances were poor to secure good loca-
ton, I went with one of your drivers and
made my filing two days after the drawing
was over.
"There is plenty of fine land left and
would not sell my location today for $5,O00.00.
Your land is splendid your climate all that
could be asked for, and your water supply
unlimited
IT am more than satisfied, and as soon as [
am notified that the water is ready [ am COM
ing here to make my home. Yours truly
(Signed) G. S. FREEBURGER,
South Bend, Wash"

The financial situation is be- coming so critical that the coun- try will not dare risk a demo- cratic president. This panic is hurting Bryan. Lawrence Jour- nal. This is queer logic. The panic occurs in the middle of 8
 republican administration, yet it effects only democratic prospects This is on par with the argument advanced by some wiseacrcs of the G. o. P.' who contend that when a panic occurs during a democratic administration it re-
 suits from democratic policies, while if it occurs during 8 re- publican administration it results from economic condit ions. Ark ansas Democrat,

A Plea for Bob White"

Please allow me space in order that 1 may appeal to the farmers in behalf of our friend Bob White"
 Brother farmers, can you not hear the doleful whistle of the quail pleading for your protec- tion? Do you enjoy the music of the Bob White" today as you did when you were a barefooted boy driving the cows to pas ture and chasing the young rabbit through the wheat-field? At first you will say "yes;" to the last no"
 There is nothing that will so nearly call a man back to the old home of his childhood as the whistle of the quail in the wheat field or t1e sweet tones of the Bob White" iu the orchard. But this, nowadays, we are sel- dom permitted to hear, for the quail no longer futters around the feet of the blow boy and looks upon the farmer as his friend: but. like the A merican Indian, has been hunted by dog and man, has been shot from ambush and on wing until there is look upon men as their enemy.
 Certainly we have waited ton lobg to protect our birds. If the farmer ever had a friend among the feathered tribe, it must be the quail. The uncomfortable insects which suck the life from young plants and bring total des tructiol to our crops and meadows are the food that the quail lives upon, and each day, when the morn has purpled the east, Bob White is at work do. ing for the farmers that which they cannot do for themselves.
 Not only does the quail destroy q multitude of insects, but he picks many bushels of seed that otherwise, would take root and spring up the next year to make more work for the boy who uses the hoe. But if there were not one point to argue in favor the quail, still it would be of interest to the farmer to stop the Cuail shooting on his farm, for there is never 6 season but some one suffers the loss of some stock in jured by shot from a careless hunter. At this season, especial ly, it is almost impossible for women to drive along the public highway and even men are in danger of "runaways" caused by horses becoming frightened at a sudden burst of shots by the roadside. The country boy is just as carless as the city lad; for neither of them has time to look for man or beast when MT. Quail is sailing for his life
 We all admit that quail shoot ing is fine sport but the other fellow pays dear for sport when he looses a good horse or COW by our random shooting. Such has been the case for years and will continue so long as the farmers will stand for it, or until the quail family has been killed or exterminated.
 Brothers, protect your birds and they will save your crops.

EXPRESSIONS OF FACES.

The most expressive face is not the one which writhes or agonizes with every sorrowful feeling, or twists and squirnns with every amusing situation.
 1t Is rather the one which retains a calm exterior while the strongest emotions of the soul play upon 1t with their lights and shadows.
 The faces should be the smooth curtain on which the heart exhibits it's various pictures without disturb- ing it, not the stage which requires the shifting of scenery for every act {
 The reason why so many beautiful faces are to be found i'll convent is in a great measure due to the daily habit of composing the features in long hours of meditation and prayer
 unmarred by contending emotions, the features are gradually moulded into harmonious outlines.
 To sum up on this point train your features to composure and avoid all grimacing habits.
 Because good humor is an obliging quality, many women think they must always be in a laugh or a broad smile in order to be charming
 This a grievous mistake.

TAILOR MADE HATS

Many of the most becom- ing hats worn with morning tailor mades are trimmed with fraved ruches of soft silk Fur is very much used by the milliner for the present season One of the smartest and most becoming hats in one of the millinery salons here is wide-brim shape with high crown and the entire top covered plainly with broadtail It is trimmed with wide crushed band Of the proadtail and with black feathers. A good many turban crowns are com posed of mink. and such hats are frightened often with flowers of soft pastel tones. The dead shades are very suitable for such hats in both flowers and ribbons.

An easy way to cut bias bands is to take a ruler and piece of chalk if the material is heavy and lead pencil if it is light colored, and mark all the bands on the material. Then join the two ends of the cloth carefully so that the marked lines meet, having the first line of one end meet the sec ond line of the other end, thus form ing a spiral. Stitch this seam on the sewiug machine and with needle and thread put few stitches on each side of all the lines so as to make It more secure and firm. Begin where the first band extends beyond the second and cut round and round, being careful never to leave the chalk or pencil mark until the material is cut into one perfectly joined piece.

Every woman who sews knows the difficulty in making gathers lie smooth when gathering by hand has been necessary It is also difficult to make the shirrings lie smooth and flat with out taking time to stroke" or scratch them into place. In shirring, take up on the needle a little more of the goods than you leave between the stitches, so as to show the thread as little as possible Press the thumb against the needle, moving it with each stitch, and fill the needle as full as possible before drawing the thread through. This gives every stitch the effect of a small plait, much the same as machine gathering. This method also gives little work in arranging the gathers, With little practice the work will become mechanical and you will be delighted with the neatness and rapidity of the work.

BRACELET FASHIONS.

Flexible bracelets revive all the old time forms, including the spiral snakes with jeweled eyes that appeal to few women. Some made of flat squares of wrought gold, hinged orr namentally have as a finish very Japanesque dragons head with jew eled settings. As long as sleeves con- tinue short there will be a demand for bracelets that can be worn pretty generally, which is as good as saying that bracelets are sure to be in style for considerable time to come.
