As Well Fitted as Ever,

Keep right on wearing the combina-
ton undergarment. There is no just
reason to suppose that. even should
the gathered frocks and old time belt
lines prove altogether satisfactory. wo.
men will want to wear gathers from
the skin out.
Just as the fitted garment proved
altogether necessary for the princess
robe will it prove wholly satisfactory
beneath gathered skirt cores.
1t cannot be doubted that women
will continue to suppress all fullness
underneath. even although it may be
their fate to be thrust into surface
gathers sooner or later.
At the present moment there is no
abatement in the food of fitted COM
bnations. Let the silk jersey weaves
for the most closely fitted underwear
prove it to you if there remains the
slightest doubt.

that if he We're living today he would
recognize that such institutions as

Johns Hopkins. Chicago. Stanford and
many others of similar character have
accomplished the purpose he had in
mind at that time. But he would also
realize that in the general advance in
all lines of activity. bearing on the
education and welfare of the people,
there is still a great work to be accom-
plished in this general diffusion of
knowledge and the promotion Of sci
ence and literature. AT the present
time there are no suitable facilities
for bringing together at Washington
the patriotic, scientific, educational, lit
erary and art activities of our nation
that may need such opportunities as
will be provided.

METHODS OF DRY FARMING
Confusion as to What is Really Meant
and What 1t Really Is-conserv-

Much confusion regarding so-calIed'

cultivation is possible only by the
test of actual experience that where
there is precipitation of from Is to-
20 inches, somewhat distributed dur

enough of this moisture in the soft
to easily supply many valuable crops
during the growing season and some
authorities asert that this may ba
done where the annual precipitation
is less than IL inches.

TEST DRY FARMING THEORY
Many Experiments Made In Western

Testing the dry farming theory has
become general in almost all of the
western states, and foremost among
the experimenters are the various
state agricultural colleges.
Those methods which have proven
best are given To the public in numer-
Gus bulletins. The State Agricultural
college OF Montana, after prolonged
investigation as to the method to-
be pursued in order to insure good
crops, has formulated and published
the following, which may serve as n
fair Indicator of tho purposes of the
system.

her lap and hurt her hands. 1t was
after one of these times that she took
to wearing mittens, even in hot wealth.
| er when mittens are annoying and
! heat up the hands, but Rastus did not
care. He seemed to have lost the
| finer instincts of man, and when Mrs.
| Johnson had become so used to hav-
| ing the cannon ball alight on her head
that it did not awaken her, he went
and bought 50-pound one. This
awakened her nearly every time, but
she did not say anything, because he
was strong man and she was only
feeble old lady
In few months the 50-pound can
non ball would not awaken Mrs John
son when 1t fell on her head, for it
had fallen so often 1t had caused a
callous to form on the top of her
head, and all she would do when
the cannon ball hit her on the head
would be to start slightly in her
| dreams. So Rastus went to town and
bought UNDERGROUND cannon ball.
Even his most careless neighbors
said it was too much, and that he was
liable to drive her head entirely out
of sight between her shoulders, sooner
or later, by repeated blows, and that
when her head was lower than her
shoulders the cannon ball would be
likely to strike on her shoulder blades
and break one of them, but nothing of
the kind happened. At that Rastus be-
came angry and went to town to get
150-pound cannon ball, but he could
not get one. Cannon balls were out
OF date, and the only thing he could
get was long, pointed steel projec
tile, such as the big modern guns
use.
When Mrs. johnson saw this, even
her gentle temper was ruffled. 1t
was one thing to have smooth round
cannon balls fall on her head, but
1t was another to have the sharp end
OF a steel projectile, loaded with. dy-
Mantle, for all she knew, strike her
head point first For a minute she
said nothing when Rastus handed her
the projectile, and she, almost un.
consciously began to raise the projec-
tile to put 1t on the shelf, for she
had become so used to doing this that
she did it by reflex action But sud.
denly the injustice of 1t all came into
her mind, and she drew the projec-
tile back and threw it through the
wall 1t passed on into the barn and
killed the cow
Rastus stood amazed to see a feeble
old lady handle a projectile of that
weight in that way, for he had forgot
ten that year of lifting cannon balls
must have built up fine lot of hard
muscle in her arms, and while he was
standing amazed Mrs. Johnson reached
out and seized him, and with Que
swift cast of her hand threw him
through the hole in the wall made by
the projectile. He passed on into the
barn and into the cavity the projec-
tile had made in the COW, and half out
the other side of the COW, and when
the veterinary was sent for he could
hardly tell whether 1t was colored
gentleman trying to wear a COW as o
belt, or a COW that had been shot
through from side to side by a human
dark brown arrow.
They had to pull Rastus out of the
COW with a derrick, but 1t proved
valuable lesson to him. Since last
Thursday he has been appreciably
more gentle to his mother-in-law.
