THINGS TO THINK ABOUT,

Don't let the weeds get the whip
hand over you.
It's a wise man as well as a good
farmer who fights weeds when they
are small.
Farm implements in operation
should be examined in every part at
least once n day and the nuts thor
oughly tightened with a wrench.
Attach the wrench to the plow or
other implement with a good strap
or wire. Many wronchcs are lost be
cause they are not properly attached
or not even fastened at all
How about sowing some rape? It
will come in pretty handy along about
July and August. Five pounds OF seed

Every farmer should have a ten.foot
pole. Dress down a piece of pine or

American women have much to
learn from their sisters in Paris as to
the art of wearing tailor-made gowns,
for It is certain that no women in the
world equal the Parisiennes in this
difficult art. Nature has made them
exceedingly careful of details. and
this in every walk of life, and from
carly youth they are taught to regard
dress as an affair OF paramount i'm
portance. To a Parisienne IL is a mat
ter of vital importance that the dainty
little purse carried in the hand
should harmonic with some other
detail-with the sporting looking little
necktie, perhaps, or with the embroid-
cries on the waistcoat of pale-hued
suede. Everything has its own mean
ing aud nothing is too small to lack
Importance. II is natural TO French
women to look at the subject from
this point of view and this is why
they can-when they wish to do So
dress perfectly on a comparatively
small income.
A pecularity OF the Partisan even
ing gowns this season is the close re.
sembance which they bear to tea
gowns. There is the same graceful
flow of supple material and the same
vague outline. The Parisiennes revel
IN this particular mode and invest it
with exceeding charm and grace.
