PREPARING THE YEARBOOK.
Materials for Famous Publication
Would Fill Sixty Cars.


Copy for the famous Yearbook Of the
Department Of Agriculture has made Its
appearance at the government printing
ONCE, and for several months the work.
ers in the various departments will be
occupied in it's production. The number
of copies authorized by law Is 100000.
but under the workings Of a resolution
passed several years ago 1t is possible
to print in two or more editions. AS a
result, the number issued approximates
$4,000 copies, a saving Of about $50,000
yearly to the department.
For wears he maximum number was
printed, and the amount of material en-
tering into the production of this big job
is interesting: Printing and plate paper
amounting to $4,000 reams was required:
binders boards. 16S.000 pounds: book
sewing tape, $4,000 yards: thread. g.
6oo,0 900 yards: book cloth, $4,000 yards
glue. 5000 pounds.
The modern method Of handling this
mountain of material is largely me-
chanical Electrotype plates are placed
on giant presses and the printed sheets
run through folding machines, after
which the sewing machines send the
books to the automatic rounder and
backer without delay. Case-making ma
chimes receive the binders boards and
cloth from the cutter and turn out book
covers by the wagon load. Another ma
chine automatically places these cases or
covers on the completed book. and after
drying a few hours in the standing press
they are ready for the delivery wagon.
To deliver the rolls of paper necessary
to print a full edition of the Yearbook
would require forty-four cars. while stock
for the illustrations would fill eight cars.
Five tons of binders boards are neces-
sary to cover the book, and nearly four
tons Of glue and thirty barrels OF -four
are used in the different processes Of
manufacture. To transport all the Incl
dentals entering into the production of
the Yearbook would require two trains Of
thirty cars each.

knot appearing to be formed from the
natural hair.
In ordinary colors this piece Of artifi-
cial hair may be bought for $. gray ,or
mixture costing a dollar more. Ash
blondes too. will have to pay q higher
price for their hair than the average
blonde, on account of the rarity of this
shade. In some cases 1t costs more
than gray.
A number OF women whose hair was
fair in their youth will find themselves
verging on the ash blonde type at middle
age. and so should be careful In selecting
false hair adornments. For they may
forget that the color Of the hair changes
quite as much as the complexion.
Switches Are Also Worn.
If switch is preferred to the ready-to-
wear piece then one may purchase them
for 81. measuring eighteen inches long.
to $50 for one twenty-eight inches in
length. This latter sum Is. for an excel
lent quality of hair.
The false piece that Is best suited to
the new shaped hats Is called the Salome.
This Is about ten inches long, has large
center puff. with smaller ones at the sides.
This, of course. Is pinned at the back OF
the head above the roll when required
to support the hat. while for house or
evening wear 1t is taken around the
front Of the head and the front hair
slightly parted, then fiuffed.
Coronet braids are still used. sometimes
at the front and sometimes at the back
Of the head. and an effective braid may
be bought for s.. Often a group of three
short finger curls will be the finish at
one end of the braid, fancy pin like a
butterfly shell or Jet being set on the
other end.
A pretty and smart evening coiffure for
elderly women is the all around the head
pompadour modified in the back, the
crown of the head covered with little
puff curls. These come in groups of five
and eight, and can be adjusted to suit the
wearer.
The larger number will cost 81, the
smaller group s..
When pinned in place they are held
with fancy hairpins. while q broad, hand
some barrette Is the finish.
Combs are not used by middle-aged
women. though fancy headed pins are.

There is little real difference between
the co!ffure of a mother and grown
daughter Both wear the large roll at the
back, though, as a rule, the latter con-
fines hers to the back, while the former
takes the pompadour all around the head.
Especially when the hair Is thin an "all
around" pompadour is necessary. as the
natural hair would fail to conceal the
roll.
This is a fringe Of hair that fastens
around the head with a hook and eye
and is only sufficiently long TO cover the

ton.

KENDALL ....''..
BUYING
VINEGAR

An old friend in up-to-date vest
ments is to be welcomed at the
Grand Opera House next Monday
night when Ezra Kendall appears in
the best of his laugh producers.
Herbert Hall Winslow's "The Vine
gar Buyer" The new vestments are
provided by Kendall himself, and
are composed mainly of brand-new
jokes and comedy" which Kendall
has been working up this summer.
AS everybody knows Kendall
wrote those excellent joke-books
"Spots" and Good Gravy" that al
most everybody knows by heart.
Kendall also writes his own side
splitting monologues and curtain
speeches. He has spent several
months in Frightening up this al
ready bright old comedy, which as it
was in its old form one of the fun
niest Of many seasons, may now be
guaranteed to be as full of laughs
as a sieve is full of holes. In fact,
Kendall has been quoted as saying
that the old principle of "laugh a
minute" was not goon enough for
him. If he could not give his au-
dience at least sixty full fedged
laughs in a forty-minute act, he'd
consider himself more unworthy Of
the salary he draws.
To make sure that "The Vinegar
Buyer" has accumulated no kink
with age, Messrs. Liebler & Com
pany, who again manage Kendall
put the production under the per-
sonal supervision of Edward e.
Rose. In every respect the produc-
tion has been made in as painstak-
ing manner as If the play were
