For best wear, church, visiting, the

have in addition a pretty house frock
to wear at home and relieve her
tailored clothes, an evening dress ana
something simple and strong to wear
when helping mother around the
house.
For house frocks worn by girls OF all
ages, cashmere is in great demand ana
it comes in some exquisite shades
showing to great advantage under
artificial light.
These include geranium, red-copper,
peach and old rose, sapphire, tur-
quoise and Persian, hyacinth and
prune, canelle. frieze and morocco
all variants of such staple hues as
red. blue. purple and brown. Silk
braids and folds of self-tone messaline
or soft satin are used to trim these
frocks, with plenty Of tucked net or
all-over lace at throat and wrist. Like
her mother, the young girl is coming
back to long sleeves, and the thin girl
can wear the shirred or mousquetaire
sleeves admirably.
Another fabric very popular for
house frocks is lansdoWne, which is
moxo silky and lighter weight than
cashmere. In many shades it can be
washed and is particularly useful for
simply fashioned gowns on this &C
count.
For young girls the princess design
deliberately inset with lace and soft
ened by a silken girdle and sash ends
is extremely good, but the girls II
their later teens find empire frockE
very becoming, especially the high
full-backed skirt.
A pretty frock for the girl just en-
tering her teens is the one of ivory
white lansdowne, trimmed with car
dinal red braid in a rather heavy sill
design, with a finish of tassels Thi
model is most effective on the tall
thin girl.

MAKE NICE LITTLE PRESENTS.
FiImy Summer Handkerchiefs Can Be
Turned Into Cravats.

A girl who makes her own Christ

to make, should look about her at this
time and pick up exquisite handker-
chiefs, which are reduced because
they are soiled
These sales happen in all the shops
about this time Filmy handkerchief
have been brought out for summer
use, not all of them have been sold,
and the remaining ones have been
handled until they are not quite fresh
They are, therefore, thrown on the
counters for about half price. Yhe
girl who doesn't want handkerchief
passes them by. She is wrong. She
should pick them up, because they
make excellent cravats which she can
send as gifts.

no sign of decreasing, is the one fol

Have You Thought?

Have you stopped to consider that it
will take the spindles of the world
twelve months to spin the cotton you
will gather within the next three
months? Suppose the South produces
100000 bales then it should furnish
100000 bales per month. If you dump
yours on the market and your neigh.
Dor and everybody else does the same
thing, you will throw 100000 bales
on the market when only 100000 are
needed. Have you ever taken bask-
ct of eggs or load of corn or potatoes
to your little local market and find
everybody supplied? II you have, you
have witnessed in small way, just
what takes place on a larger scale in
the cotton markets of the world when
the South works early and late and
runs her gins night and day to crowd
her cotton on the world before it Is

Sell Whas the World Wants.

The cotton Journal wants farmers
to. hold all surplus cottcG above the
worlds needs, and discussing this
proposition, says;
The production Of the south's cot.
ton crop is being yariously estimated
at the present time from II, 100000 to
100000 bales. The leading authori-
ties on consumption estimate that the
worlds need for American cotton dur
ing the next twelve months Will not
fall short of 100000 bales Admit
ting for arguments sake that in the
supplies of raw cotton available for
spinning purposes or the first day Of
September there was carried over from
the past year 100000 bales of Ameri
can cotton, this would have to be ship
ped from the present growing crop
100000 bales If the present crop
would ultimately show a production Of
100000 bales more than actually re-
QuiTCd for consumption, then the only
way to prevent too low prices is for
farmers to hold over this surplus them
selves, rather than throw it on the
market and depress the price Of the
entire crop. There are. in round num-
bers about 100000 head of pillow stock
engaged in the south It would not be
a great hardship on the growers to
hold back one bale of cotton per pillow
this winter and cut down the acreage
| next spring two acres TO the pillow,
| from which the 100000 bales held
| back from the crop Of 1908 was pro-
duced. Let US do q little figuring and
see how it works out:
Twelve million bales at lie, or $50
per bale, will amount to 100000, 600;
13,500O00 bales at &c, or $45 per bale,
will amount to SCOT 100000. This c2lcu.
latiOn shows a net loss of So, 000,0v
and 100000 bales of cotton thrown
in by marketing a surplus Of the crop
at price Of &c per pound less than
the actual needs of consumption will
show that it is much better to sell
eight bales for $40 than sacrifice
nine bales for $405. Each man
would not only get more from the few
er bales sold, but would be in better
financial shape to hold the extra bale
per pillow. 1855 .....
The best way TO put this plan into
operation is to market only onetwelfth
of the years production each month
and refuse to sell any more. This will
force the mills actively into the mark
ct, prices will advance to good levels
and the average price demanded for
what is sold to the mills within the
next ten months will be secured. By
next March the exact production OF
this years crop will be positively
known, and under the system of slow
selling each grower will know just
what part of his crop should be carried
over, if any, and the acreage next
spring, correspondingly reduced.

What Cheruit is making for children
was learned in an early morning talk.
I'VE are using a great deal of fur

there will be many little velvet things
braided with soutache. Evening
dresses and dancing frocks are to be
very dainty and often Of tulle with
hand embroidery.
For older girls as practical dresses
we are making cloth things, always
with the waists a little high. The
baby things are almost invariably en-

One of the chief advantages OF the

Joining counties will be compelled TO
do so, too, in order to secure their

The Bumper Problem.

ing, the fact that there are so many
who do sell upon glutted market
makes it one of the most serious prob
lens before the American farmer to.
day.
The bumper who sells on a glut-
ted market, or at time when con-
sumers do not want it, not only suf-
fers loss of price but all others who
do hold are more or less affected by
his acts. The grain or prodce gam
blers are always ready with cash to
buy up all they can get cheap. They
are fixed to hold the stuff and sell on
a rising market In most cases they
can make the rise in price. The one
who holds his grain gets the benefit
of this rise but he would get better
prices had there been no early glut OF
market. '.
Take for example the egg trade.
Eggs used to sell for five cents a
dozen in summer and for IS or 40
cents in winter. The refrigerator en-,
! abled the merchants to hold eggs for
a long time and that equalized the
price because they we're distributed
through the season as was the demand.
Thus it is when the farmer can hold
his grain tobacco, or cotton and sell
along as the market tempts him to
SELL Instead of the middle-men get
ting all the profits, the producers gel

But the bumper will not cease tt

has got to be- some means of tidins

There must be cooperative storehouse'

must be cooperative system of mon

must be cooperation among the pro
