President Taft is preparing very
ambitious legislative program for the
coming session and in order to COM
ply with its recommendations the
House will be kept busy for many
weeks.
Apropos of the claims of o. M.
Barber for appointment to the new
customs court Mr.. Foster said the
whole matter is as yet up in the air.
1t is believed that soon after Congress
opens the President will send to the
Senate the names of several men
whom he has recommended. New
England can expect only one place and
1t is generally understood that Repre-
sentative s. L. Powers, of Massa-
chusetts can have it IL he wants it.
This does not mean, however, that
Mr.. Barber is out of the running. He
stands we'll and has the unanimous
endorsement of this State for the
place, in fact, there is no one in New
England who has been so strongly en-
dorsed as has Mr.. Barber and he is
probably the second choice. While no
one seems authorized to speak for
Mr.. Powers many of his friends doubt
whether he could afford to abandon
his lucrative law practice for the po-
sition.

from sales.
Is. Crops.
For each crop harvested on the
farm in 1909 give the number of acres,
the quantity produced, and the value
of the products. The number of acres
of each crop to be planted for har-
vest in 1910, will also be called for by
the enumerator. This cannot be de-
termined much before the date Of
enumeration. Instead of giving the
number of acres in orchards and
vineyards, give us nearly as possible
the number of trees and vines of bear
ing age. The quantity Of certain fruit
products; as cider, vinegar, wine, and
dried fruits produced in 1909 will be
required, as will also the quantity
and value of sugar, syrup and mo-
lasses produced from cane, sorghum,
sugar beets and maple trees.

A considerable part of the annual
production of corn, oats, barley, kafir

or produced in 1909 for farm con-

Bows are used extensively just now.
They appear on hats, gowns, scarfs
and muffs, and vary from large,
fat satin form to tiny plated gold
shape. On the turned-up brims of this
seasons hats there are silver, fanlike
bows, gold loops and bronze ones.
Then, again, metal lace is tied in
stiff shapes and nestles in fur and
feathers. Some huge bows of white or
black lace form the only trimming for
large, fat hats. Indeed, huge wing
has been turned under to simulate a
bow on velvet shape
On gowns, especially for evening
| wear, bows are used in unexpected
places, and their contrasting shades
are utilized by clever makers to
carry favorite color up, down or
around the costume. Under cream
lace robe, following the upper line of
the corsage, pale blue ribbon will
be placed which crosses under the
sleeve and bursts out through an
opening on the sleeve in the form of
butterfly bow. Another designer
will place three large satin bows in
row down the back line of lace
skirt. Velvet bows run up the under
lines of sleeves. In fact, the friendly
bow solves many little trimming pro-
blems when tied and placed by the
hand of an adept. Even muffs and fur
collars have come in for their share
of the bow. From lingerie to fur gar
ments the stamp of approval goes
with this tied form of all kinds of ma
terial.
An extreme novelty is a combina-
ton of knickerbockers and princess
chemise. The upper part fits the fig
ure closely and has double ruffle of
lace, which falls in a cascade from
the yoke almost to the waist line.
The lower part of this garment is
gathered into a band of lace and in
sertion at the knees, each being edged
with a full ruffle of linen and lace.
This entire combination is striped
with insertion and lace. 1t is an at
tractive idea which has been evolved
from the silk boomers Of last sea-
son.
A charming little touch on collar
less evening coat is an attached scarf
This may be long and narrow piece
of gauze net or chiffon, embroidered
or brocaded to match the wrap. 1t is
securely held at the top Of the right
front, and may be swathed around
the throat and allowed to fall over the
wrap in front.
: Russian blouses are worn great
deal by young girls. Silk or EN-.
| broidered belts are worn with them
and the material of the belt is used
, again in the rosette or cabochon or
the velvet hats which are worn with
them.
/ Bracelets are again worn with at
