merous garden patches. That if it
is successful the wealth of this beau
tiful valley can not be estimated,
nor can its possibilities. That the
water can be pumped in sufficient
quantities for irrigation is an es-
tablished fact, but the experiment is
in the cost of pumping it. Mr.. Led
better has his plant arranged as fol-
lows:
Over the mouth of the well is built
a strong derrick on solid platform.
On the derrick is placed two or three
cog wheels and a belt wheel On
one large wheel the rod for lifting
the water is fastened. This cog
wheel is so arranged that three diff
ferent speeds may be used for pump
ing. Mr.. Ledbetter has it at pres
ent arranged on the slowest speed.
A few feet back from the derrick
stands an S-horse power gasoline en-
CINE. A building, IA by IS, and
about II feet high covers the whole.
In the trial operations at the
slowest speed, as stated before, the
engine pumped about 80 gallons of
water per minute, the highest speed
was guaranteed to pump AZ gallons
per minute. Mr.. Ledbetter will dig
a cistern in the ground at the corner
of his farm about a quarter of mile
from his well into which he will
pump the water to be reserved for
irrigating about 10 acres adjacent.
Pipes are already laid to the cistern
site. The water from the well is
now being raised about six feet
higher to get into the cistern. The
cistern will be 100 feet in diameter
and about Z feet deep. Mr.. Led
better expects to have the reservoir
completed early enough this fall to
have it filled with water, which,
when frozen can be sold for at least
$3.50 per ton, thus paying for the
erection of the reservoir, provided
there is sufficient cold weather TO
make good supply of ice.
The engine used for pumping con-
sumes about gallons Of gasoline
every twelve hours, and the reservoir
may take about s hours to be filled
In irrigating, the amount of water
required will depend on the crop.
Mr.. Ledbetter intends to buy his
gasoline in the 52-gallon tanks, and
will use only the very best of this
kind of fuel.
The we'll from which he is getting
his supply of water is cased with
casing allowing a 3 y inch hole, and
he gets a continuous and strong flow
of water
Mr. Ledbetter is sanguine of sue
cess and the experiment is being
looked forward to with interest, as
it means great turning point in the
history of farming in this district

shown by a splendid specimen of the
potato species to be seen in the
News window. 1t was grown on the
farm of Robert Elsom, of Boharm,

weighing two pounds This has it's
amusing side when last week it viii
be remembered the Quill recorded q
potato raised north of town which
weighed eight and half pounds, AMI
of another farmer who brought in
whole load of them which individu-
ally averaged two and a half pounds
each. 'Boharm" will have to come

Piques In Many Forms,

One can pay $3.50 per yard for a
French pique, or get something mod
est and pretty for 1917 cents. The
finer varieties are not made in jump
er styles like the cheaper fabrics, but
are more often seen in lovely little
jacket suits. The cutaway with long
sleeves is a stylish model for a white
pique and can be made extremely
beautiful. Like most dresses of it's
kind it looks best when trimmed with
stitched bands and embroidered but
tons. The little lapels, collar and
cuffs are neat with white embroidery.
Many of the pique skirts have the
tailored effects. Few, if any, are
trimmed unless, perhaps, bands of like
material are used and stitched down
the seams. This suit is always worn
with a very sheer waist.

THOUGHT CHILD WOULD DIE.

MY little boy, when only an infant
of three months, caught the Cuban
Itch. Sores broke out from his head
to the bottom Of his feet. He would

time. He could not sleep day or night
and light dress is all he could wear

band said he believed he would have
to die I had almost given up hope
when a lady friend told me to try the
Cuticura Remedies. I used the Cuti
cura Soap and applied the Cuticura
Ointment and he at once fell into a
sleep. and he slept with ease for the
first time since two months. After
three applications the sores began to
dry up and in just two weeks from the
day | commenced to use the Cuticura
Remedies my baby was entirely well.
The treatment only cost me 75c, and I
would have gladly paid 500 if I could
not have got it cheaper. I feel safe in
saying that the Cuticura Remedies
saved his life. He is now a boy of five
years. Mrs. Zana Miller, Union City,

Wear Filets in Hair.

The summer girl should adopt the
fashion of wearing ribbon flets in the
hair during the morning. A smooth,
full pompadour is made and the hair
moistened a trifle if it. does not wave
readily. Then two bands of ribbon
are fastened snugly around it, the first
being an even distance from the edge
of the hair all around and the second
parallel to the first and between it
and the knot. Pull out the hair out
side and between the flets. This
makes a pretty and neat arrangement
for morning, and when one dresses for
the afternoon it is necessary only to
remove the ribbons and fluff out the
pompadour with comb. It will lie
in pretty waves. This is particular
ly good way to achieve the wavy Golf
fure now SO fashionable, for it is be-
You'd doubt the least harmful to the
hair. In fact, it cannot do it the least
injury if carefully done.

| the solid color backgrounds should be
arranged next, the effects striven for
being extremely plain in floor, wall
and ceiling, selecting light and har-
monious tones. Drape the windows
| so as to exclude as little light as pos
sible, and then begin to carefully dec
crate the agreeable fiat surfaces, one
of the main ideas of the new straight
line style being to keep the surfaces
fiat. Not only should all the pictures
be decorative in line and coloring
themselves, but they should be framed
with extreme simplicity in narrow
wood molding, some frames rectangu-
lar, some few round or oval, to give
a sense of diversity in line. They
should be hung perfectly fat against
the wall, suspended from the molding
by. one thin wire of as near as pos
sible the color Of the wall paper.
Curtains and other draperies should
always be hung in straight lines, and
never draped, and should be used only
when absolutely necessary. A tardy
recognition is being given to the
beauty of the straight line, and that
is why the gilded and curved furni-
ture is going out and the mission and
new art styles coming in. AS few
cushions as possible consistent with
comfort should be used, and the up
holstery should be extremely simple.
In the accompanying picture of an
alcOVe a delightful and Identified effect
was gained by the introduction of two
formal plants in pottery jars The
large and peculiarly paned window
gave an abundance of light, which
was toned and shaded by the thin
green mesh curtains. The color
scheme of the alcove was soft gray,
green or gold, and was faithfully car
ried out in the details of the decora-
ton.

French Atomizers.

Perfumes are fashionable again, al
though anything but a delicate odor
strictly is tabooed by refined and con-
sentative women. Only small guam
tity is permissible and the French
pump atomizer is the most satisfac-
tory continuance for obtaining an
equal distribution of perfume. An ex-
tremely attractive style is made of
blue Austrian glass, which is rich in
color and slightly iridescent and is
decorated with silver deposit, artis-
ically engraved. The top is Of plain
polished silver. Another handsome
atomiZer is made of cut glass with an
engraved silver top. A new French
novelty is small enough to fit in the
shopping bag.

PURELY FEMININE
PROPER WAY TO CLEAN RUGS.
Those Of Ex pensive Material Need
Most Careful Handling.

Cleaning rugs-especially the an
tique ones that cost hundreds of dol
lars, really is a science, and house
wives possessing any Of these much
valued floor coverings should remem-
Der it when having their spring
cleaning done. The mistake of brush
ing with stiff broom against the
grain should never be made, and, if
necessary to prevent this, mistresses
personally should superintend this
work, for going against the weave
takes off the silky nap and loosens the
threads that bind the material to-
gether. Neither should they ever be
shaken by one end or in the center to
free them from dust and dirt, for this
is apt to loosen the weave. Pound
ing them with the regulation rattan
rug beaten makes for destruction and
never should be permitted. The only

ing always with the grain. After this
partial cleaning a damp cloth can be
stroked across the top to- give a
brightness to the eolors.
Once or twice year genuine old
fashioned scrubbing will freshen the
colors. But would suggest that this
be done by an experienced person who
will do it by hand, for modern proc
esses often ruin thin fabrics, and
once the weave is loosened and
the covering begins to come apart the
rug is of really little use for any prac-
tical wear. Once the dirt is blown
out the rest is comparatively easy, for
it consists of a simple washing-scrub-
bing, rather-with cold water and
CASTLE or pure white soap, one that
has little I've in it's composition, for,
although the colors are all the best
vegetable dyes in these fine rugs, and
should never run, any but pure soap
should not be used on them

It was an immense affair of Neapoli-

two enormous plumes that wreathed
the hat, and then trailed down behind
in course that could have been d.

color was what is known as burnt

shaded to deep brown.
