If some of the large planta
tions of Madison county could
be divided up and sold off as
small farms to a few families of
intensive farmers from the west
our county would be greatly
benefited. What we need is
the small farmer who reads, who
studies agricultural methods
and keeps pace with the pro-
gress of agricultural methods
and improvements. fhe great
trouble with us natives is that
making a living is so easy we
don't put forth all that is 10 us.
We merely scratch the soil and
then sit down and wait for the
harvest TO come.

The Grandsst Women.

When you want TO get your
grandest idea of queen, you do
not think of Catharine of Russia,
or of Anne Of England, or Marie
Theresa of Germany, but when
you want to get your grandest
idea of queen you think of the
plain woman who sat opposite
your father at the table or walk
ed with him arm in arm down
life's pathway; sometimes to the
Thanksgiving banquet, some
times to the grave, but always
together soothing your petty
griefs, correcting your childish
waywardness, joining your in
fantile sports, listening to your
evening prayers, toiling for you
with needle or at the spinning
wheel and on cold nights wrap
ping you up snug and warm. And
then at last on that day when she
lay in the back room dying, and
you saw her take those thin
hands with which she had toiled
for you so long, and put them to-
gether in a dying prayer that
commended YOU to the God whom
she had taught you to truSt-oh,
she was the queen! The chariotS
of God came down to fetch her,
and she went in all heaven rose
up. You cannot think of hernoW
without a rush of tenderness
that stirs the deep foundation of
your soul, and YOU feel rs much
a child again as when you cried
ON her lap, and if you could
bring her back again to speak
just once more your name as
tenderly as she used to speak it,
you would be willing to throw
yourself on the ground and kiss
the sod that covers her, crying

Help Boost Your Town.

If you want a live town, push
and boost it. Few towns are
without men who have more push
and energy than means to carry
out their plans. Perhaps the
hustler may occasionally make a
mistake, possibly he may over
reach in his efforts to build up the
town. Better thus than not to
do it at all. If you have a man
in town who is in the habit of
boosting and pushing, keep him
going, help him push. It's more
difficult to build up than tear
down, that is why 50 many are
engaged in destroying what the
few are creating. A half dozen
active men are worth more
than 100 passive men, No atten-
ton should be given the nomin,
ally rich men of a town; they are
not usually liberal. 1t takes
more Enterprise than money to
build up town; get behind the
hustler and keep pushing; don
pull back. If you can't push,
crawl out of sight and sit down.
If you cant speak a good word,
say nothing

Exquisite Sheer Frocks for Summer Wear

Some pretty frocks of bordure silk NOUS

hem of satin In the delicate color domi-
mating the bordure color scheme, a girdle
Of the same satin and narrow hens of

into this girdle.
The long sleeve Is introduced in per-
haps a majority Of the lingerie frocks and
other sheer French models, but some Of
the great ~dressmakers do not hesitate to
use an elbow or quarter sleeve with
such a frock, and the shortened sleeve GER
tainly means greater comfort during the
dos days.
Soutachs embroidery is still much used
upon sheer lingerie stuffs, especially upon
the fine cotton marquisette, and one sees
innumerable one-piece models of this ma
terial, loose, long and limp and meant for
wear over a ~princesse slip Of soft silk or
satin. The fitting, or rather the cutting,
OF such q slip nowadays is a serious mat
ter, for though plain, 1t should have ex-
actiy the correct lines in order that the
soft frock may follow those lines.
Some very beautiful models have slips
OF delicate tinted satin and overfrocks Of

The Juliet Costume.

An oracle II not an arbiter of fashion,
IL Miss Eliza vel White, chief
tor Of up-to-the-minute costumes; gave the
dressmakers' convention in Chicago several
tips on styles for the spring season. The
one-piece COSTUME fashioned after Juliet's
farewell garment. and an automobile Co.'S
tune shaped like that of a Capuchin friar,
were the principal novelties. The latter
garment was described as 'clorical in its
scope and design"
To describe It requires language less
biblical than alebraic. Diminishing as it
approaches the limit is one of those i'm
personal quotations from the college algo-
bra which here finds its concrete applica-
ton. Supply ''the hips as the subject
Of diminishing and 'the spring styles"

models. show the fnmy delicacy retained
throughout and an observing eye will note
that there are more frills in evidence upon
such models than there were last season.
Soft, scant, inassertive frills, to be sure,
but frills all the same, softening the cling
ing severity and limiting at a turn Of tide
In the not far distant future.
One delightful model had a straight. long
front panel or breadth, the line unbroken
at the waist. This front was embroidered
over the bodice and heavily embroidered
at the bottom, up almost to the knees,
but at each side Of It group of limp mar
row flounces wandered around the skirt,
sloping slightly toward the back,
and similar frills ran over the shoulders
in fichu fashion and disappeared under the
girdle hat passed around sides and pack
Of the short waist.
Another model had its skirt trimmed
with groups Of tiny tueks running up TO
a point in front and down toward the
back, ten tucks alternating with a soft
frill of lace following the same line. At
the very bottom a deeper lace flounce SET
on a straight tucked top filled in the In
verified v left by the sloping frills.
In spite of all these frills, mind you,
the skirt was utterly limp, falling straight
and narrow around the feet; but the fact
remains that there are more frills and
soft folds in this springs models than
there ave been in the models of the last

issue that Is at times a warning and an
appeal to American motherhood.
Infant mortality has long been the object
OF grave concern TO municipalities in every
civilized country In the world, says Mrs.
Dorr. Physicians, philanthropists, states
men, social workers, sanitarians have
struggled with II for years in vain; for.
IN spite of close study and unerring effort.
the death rate under one year remains

unsparing generosity has been directed
against the evil, the number Of deaths Of
young babies in 1907 was 7.4sz. The sta
tistics for 1908 are not at hand, but II is
feared that the number Of deaths will be
found to have been larger, because Of the
Increase Of poverty during the year.

milk problem, which is one with the
problem OF infant mortality.
