President Hightower of the Farmers union, who has been in Jackson couple of days looking after business aHalrs, states that he has called a conference ot all the county presidents to be held in this city on the Sth of July. Nearly every county in the state Is organized, and has a county president, so that the attendance will be about 10, not counting state off oers and others interested.
 The object of this conference is to have the county officers meet the state officers and get better acquainted with their plans and ideas as to the conduct of the busl- ness. Uniformity is wanted in insurance work, warehouses, congresses, purchaslni, of supplies, the use of cotton bagging, etc. and the county presidents will be put through course of drilling along these lines.
 President Hightower announces that he has already heard from the presidents of five state unions on the use of cotton bag ging, and that they are all heartily ia favor of the movement. He expects to hear from all other state presidents in due time-a very few days, and then the war against jute bagging and in favor Of the cotton bagglng will be waged in real earnest, with every prospect of success. On the 18th of July the state union pres ident starts out on his educational tour of the counties of the state, the start being made at Grenada, and after which the great majority of the counties, if not all of them will be visited in regular order President Hightower will be accompanied on thls tour of the state by a representa- tive of the department of agriculture at Washington, who will do the principal talking to the farmers.

Then a maid brought the teeth,
which had dropped behind the dress

bulbs continues to increase. There
are in Holland 10000 acres OF bulb
farms. producing yearly some $4,000

OF this comes to the United Kingdom.
II Is remarkable that the Dutch thus
maintain their supremacy. and can

FOR THE HOSTESS
TWO NEW AND PLEASING FORMS

Of Raising Money.

A prospective autumn bride has just
been the recipient of shower that
has the merit OF being practical. &C
ceptable and inexpensive, three very
important items. 1t all came about
in this way: A young matron was
heard to remark that her greatest
need when she first went to house
keeping was actually for rags or some
thing with which to clean.
She said she didn't exactly like to
give her cleaning lady" hand EN-
Rroidered towels and drawnwork dol
lies. so she had to go out and buy
cheap material by the yard, for win
dows and interior cleaning.
This was the hostess cue. so she
asked eight other young matrons to
this shower. and here is what the
bride-to-be took home with her: A
clothc spin bag filed with pins. an
ironing blanket. six iron holders. six
bread cloths, two jelly bags. SIX
squares of old sheeting for window
rags. a half dozen worsted towels
for there is nothing more exasperatin2
than new towels for glassware" said
the girl who brought them. A dozen
felt pads to go between fine china
plates was a valued contribution: as
was also set Of asbestos pads and
mats.
OF course a shower like this is only
for the bride who is to go right to
housekeeping. Delicious waffles with
maple syrup and coffee We're served

square and had tow stunning crash

NEW KIND OF Satin.
indication That Modified Empire
Styles Are to Be Worn.

There is a new weave of satin just
displayed which Is extra wide. 1t has
been woven for the use of the dress
makers who have orders for the modi-
fled empire skirt, which is not gored.
This seems to indicate early In the
season that the great designers intend
to keep to this model for the fall
styles. 1t will not be extreme. but
probably carried out on the lovely
slender lines that the later empire
gowns show.
In this extra wide lustrOus satin
there is a new shade of golden brown
called rum. There are also dark grays
in the soft smoke and elephant shades.
and ii is whispered that these will
make up the dominant gowns.
The new myrtle tones are also or
