RICE FARM III RED RIVER

The Caushatta Citizen: A number of
the river farmers are watching with in
terest the rice farm at Loggy bayou
owned by Mr.. ]. P. Ivy. There are FIVE
hundred acres of this farm planted in
rice, and it is growing and developing
nicely. 1t is said that experts who
have recently visited this farm pro-
nounce the crop fine and the prospects
for large yield is very promising. If
Mr.. Ivy is successful, and we believe
he will be, in all probability a number
of our planters will convert their plan
tations into rice farms another year

STYLES OF THE LONG AGO
Ample Draperies a Possibility Whsn
the Leaves Beoin to Turn.


The closest scrutiny reveals nothing
new in the stores today. 1t Is just the
time when fall modes are in course OF
construction behind closed doors. But
this much is certain-there will not be
the radical changes that some predict.
There is an effort to bring back the
more ample draperies in vogue sew
enty-five years ago, and in my opinion
we shall see something along that line
There Is no end of materials which
will be developed into fall costumes.
and they are usually handsome and
of value. There are, besides all the
standard weuves and kinds, many new
goods, most Of them being waterproof.
This Is q great desideratum when in
climates where rains are sudden.
A new striped stuff, dark gray with
stripes Of darker shades than the body
of the cloth, the whole dead fine in
weave and so we'll waterproofed that
1t might be left in water all night and
taken out dry In the morning, is seen
in the shops.
Silks are Of so many grades and
kinds that It is difficult to decide
which are most popular. Some like
the soft and thinner kinds, while 9th
ers prefer the crisp taffetas. and still
others there are who never feel sat
isfied without a silk as heavy as pos
sible The crisp taffetas of today are
hot t1au
crack and split at once. There are
two American silk factories where the
taffeta is absolutely pure and I'M
weighted and will wear forever" as
our grandmothers used to say, but the
modern buyer likes the shine and
snowy enough. The price also is
more. and so taffeta silk has grown
into disfavor because of it's splits.
Coed taffeta is the best silk made and
the one best adapted to q variety Of
uses.
Undoubtedly foulard will be one of
the best of the silks during the COM
ing season. By some chemical means
it is made so lustrous that it looks al
most metallic, particularly the gray,
which, by the way, bids fair TO be one
of the best of all the new colors.
There is gray taffeta woven of two
shades of gray which has acquired the
luster of steel. It is pretty, but will
go the way of all the crisp taffetas in
a very few weeks.
Pongee and another kind of soft
silk, the latter being apparently made
of rough silk. make very elegant demi-
saison coats and suits When it is
full suit it is treated like any kind
of wooden and cut tailor fashion and
finished the same way. Ottoman silk
is also among the silks to be worn.
This is rich silk with very heavy
cords and is exceptionally handsome,
but it is only for coats.
Voiles striped with silk or plain are
to be, as they have been for several
seasons, greatly liked, and indeed
nice wolfe dress is very desirable.
Wooden yoiles are produced in so many

DEFENDS ASHFORD
BEFORE COMMITTEE

justly Criticised.

Z the board Of directors OF the Cham
Der OF Commerce adopts a resolution

be unwise TO appoint a Government en-
pIoye TO the office.
During the debate, Building Inspector
Snowden Ashford came in for 81 con-
siderable amount of criticism and il
was the wish of several persons pres
ent that the committee 90 on record as
