We notice that the correspon- dent of the country life commis- sion has suggested that the gov ernment pension all mothers that have brought into the world as many as seven stalwart sons. What that mother needs is not a pension, but only that conditions be made so that those seven stalwart sons can make an honest living for themselves and something to contribute to the happiness of that mother in old age. Give the country people what justly belongs to them and they want no pension.
 The American people are not clamoring for anything of the kind, they only ask for a chance to make a living To John Smiths bottom field with this old doctrine of pensioning every thing that comes along.

I have noticed tor some time articles about the Sons of Rest. That is what is the matter with the farmers now, he has too many sons of rest. When you think of how many people there are in the United States and how many there are farming you will say so too. According to the statistics of the Unitedn States government there are 80, 900, OOO people in this country and only 10, 3OO,3 365 farm CTS, including dairymen, this number feeds the rest, but still they say we are lazy. Now, suppose each farmer would plant three acres in Irish potatoes and three acres in sweet potatoes and fifteen acres of corn with peas in the middle, would mt the weevel have a time in this land of ours. What is the mat ter with us? The price-that is the secret, that is the trounle with us, and if the Union fails to accomplish their end we are gone. But 1 have better hopes than that. The thing to do is to stick to the Union.

A bill has been introduced in the house to pay the members of the legislature a salary of $1, 900 and mileage for their services in- stead of $6 day and mileage, as at present. As session of the legislature lasts on the average about 100 days, the $1, 900 salary would be a tig increase in pay.

TO THE HONORABLE SONS OF REST


 Brothers I am before you for the good of the order again and to give a history of my trip with the tax collector over East Me- vada. 1 was with Brothers Ed. Hood, Warmack, Murrah and Charles Shankle, all prominent members of the Sons of Rest. Brother Shankle represented the Nevada County News while 1 represented the Picayune and the Sons of Rest. A jollier set of brothers 1 was never with. The first day we were at Lackland. It was no place for newspaper men. They neither write nor get any mail at Lackland, there being no mail facilities. We left there for Bluff City. I stopped over night with Brother Tom Barlow, and he subscribed for the Picayune. Brother Barlow lives at home with an abundance of everything to make a farmer comfortable. Next morning we arrived at Bluff City. We received a hearty welcome by Henry Brothers and the good people around the city. Henry Brothers are prominent merchants of Bluff City, enjoy ing a fine trade. They handle everything in the mercantile line, we stopped all night with them and were royalty entertained by them and their good wives who are ladies of the first type. Bro. Shankle and 1 did we'll at Bluff City. After enjoying every com fort of life we left for Zama, where we met Brother Purifoy and the good people of the com munitv. After attending to all the business necessary at Zama we took dinner with Brother Purifoy where we got another good meal. We then went to Theo, all stayed over night ex- cept myself. 1 went back to Bro. John Otwells where 1 en- joyed another good night. Next day we met at Bro. Hatley's store where we were most cor dially entertained. We took din- ner with Bro. Hatley and wife and got one more good meal. We dropped down the road then to J. H. Blakley's. l stopped over night with Bro. Tom Potter and family and 1 never enjoyed my self better than while with them. Next morning we met at Blake ley's Store, by noon we were through and took dinner with Bro. Blakeley and family. After dinner we complimented each other on being prominent mem- bers of the Sons of Rest and then went on to Woodlawn where 1 stayed over with Bros. z. M. Hodge and Arlington, two more good men.

MADE BY HOME SEWER.

Coronation braid has sprung into
such instant favor that it will I'M
donbteily be the trimming for he
centerpiece of next winter and there
are many women who find that their
eyes are not able TO stand the close
work of embroidering, yet who can
well manage to sew the fascinating

covers and also for sofa cushions
for summer houses.
Dark materials are not quite APP
propriate to warm days. and tan lin

Portable that for summer cushions it
is splendid material.
Slippers Bathroom slippers or
mules are easily made. pair of
the wool-lned soles are used for
these.
FOR the uppers cut disk of some
soft material. as lambs wool or
Turkish toweling just large enough
to fiji we'll over the instep. Cut ii in
half and sew the straight sides along

Finish, the rounded edge by bind
ing with ribbon or crocheting. Fasten
the rounded portions together by ty-
ing with ribbon. The heels of
course, are uncovered, the slippers
being designed to slip on hurfiedly.
Embroidery Satin stitch, which is
used so much in linen embroidery, is
made by laying the threads so close
" together that they will be smooth
like satin.
They should be almost the same
on the wrong as on the right side.
The entire design can be carried out
in satin stitch, or combined with
eyelets.
Flounce-A smart gown maker
says that in the near future plat
ed founce OF Indian silk or taffeta
chiffon will be introduced under The
hem of walking skirts-a fiounce
measuring about l6 or rs inches in
width-and that in this way the ne
cessty for frilled petticoats will be
done away with.
Skirt Braid--Always shrink new
braid before sewing it to a skirt. In
shortening pattern always fold
plat across the middle of the pat
tern. Never shorten from the top

have a wretchedly-hanging skirt.

net may be pulled over wire, chif-
fon-covered frame, and its joining TO
the brlm concealed sby wreath.
II daisies. vioets or other small
flowers are used for the crown they
should first be sown upon stiff
muslin foundation, and then laid over
the wire structure.
A very odd way OF remodeling a
leghorn is TO use black chip crown.
The hat should then ne trimmed
with black velvet ribbon, made into
Mide-spreading bows. and if the brlm
flares upward it should be velvet
