OLD EAsHIoNEp Ml1Is.

Lace mitts have returned, but they
are somewhat different from what they
were on their first appearance SO many
years ago. The best are made of real
lace and they are trimmed round the
top. at the elbow line, with chiffon
lufles and loops of ribbon, which look
as though they belong to the sleeve
OF the dress
This is a very attractive idea, and as
long as the rnitts stay in place 1t looks
very well. But imagine the consterna-
ton of the populace if 1t sees the top
OF the mitt slipping down, rufIles and
all! They would Immediately think the
lady's dress was coming apart In the
most remarkable manner.
The price of these mitts ranges from
81 so to SO pair, according to the
value of the lace.

Few attributes add SO much to ones per-
sonal power as the knowledge that ono is
absolutely genuine and sincere.
If your life is perpetual lie IL you
know that you are not what you pretend
to be, you cannot be strong. There is q
continuous struggle with the truth going
on inside you which saps your energy and
warps character.
If there is a mote in your eye remove
1t at once. Otherwise. you can not look
the world straight in the face. Further.
there will be cloudiness, a haze. about
your character which will be noticeable to
those about you.
Strength lies in character. Deceit Il
weakness: sham and pretense are en-.
feebling. Only the genuine and the sin.

FOR coLLAR STAYS

An easy and convenient way OF putting
collar stays In the collar without sewing
them in each time the waist comes back
from the laundry is 10 sew pieces of lace
insertion at the top and bottom Of the
collar. leaving the sides toward the cen
ter open. In the pockets thus formed the
ends of stays can be easily inserted or re.
moved by bending the stays slightly in the
center
The stays can be dipped in gasoline
when soied and cleansed without losing
their shape or stiffness.

HOW TO INCREASE CORN YIELD

The Minnesota farmers institute
bureau gives the following pointers on
corn raising.
The total cost of growing and har-
vesting an acre of corn Is between
SO and ST.. 1t therefore takes 35
or 40 bushels at the average price Of
80 cents to cover the cost of produce
ton.
The yield of corn depends, first. upon
the fertility of the soil; second, meth
cd of tillage and cultivation; third,
character of seed corn; fourth, weather
conditions. Three of these conditions
farmers can control. Character Of
seed Is the most important factor OF
all.
One 1o-ounce ear per hill will give
a yield of Is bushels per acre; two
10-ounce ears SO bushels. and three
"a bushels. The average yield Of
corn in Minnesota is about 80 bushels
per acre. We are growing about one
third of perfect stand. The sue
cessful corn grower can control the
stand OF corn. and with near per-
feet stand can secure so to 10 bushels
of corn per acre with average methods
of cultivation. The stand of corn de-
Ponds upon the quality of seed corn
One of the most desirable places from
which to get seed corn for any farm
is from the field of corn grown on that
farm. Select at husking time few
OF the best ears as they are found on
good stalks. and place them in bas-
Set or sack. If it is desired to get a

! the field before all the corn Is ripe
and select good ears that ripened first

the corn bur il will make 1t earlier.

ears of corn are not necessary to get
