Needlework for Gifts.

Pretty work to keep on hand for
summer and to get ready for the next
gift occasion is the shirtwaist frill OF
sheer handkerchief linen and It's but
tons made to match.
The scalloped edge Of graduated
strip for the frill is done In china-blue
embroidery cotton and set of six
buttons for the front box plait Of the
shirtwaist completes the gift.
Cover button molds with china-blue
linen worked with white cotton. These
two. mounted upon tissue paper (after
the frill is pressed into plaits) and
boxed. make a most attractive little
gift and represent hours well spent.

The net wells just described have
been adopted for mourning wear as

a great deal. They are bordered with
bands of Grape or with siuk grenadine

grosgrain ribbon, graduated in width

straight from the hat brim and reach

wear, trimmed with band aud
adorned with white net veil is about
as satisfactory as any hat can be.

Many flounced hats are being worn

BILE returns for their time and invest

Congress is thoroughly aroused over
the matter and Is planning to sift it
to the bottom. Senator Elkins' meas
ure along these lines provides for the
appointment of a committee Of five
senators to make comprehensive In
vestigation Of the increase in the cost
Of living in the last ten years. The
committee is also to inquire whether
wages and incomes have kept pace
with the increase in prices Wholesale
and retail prices and their relations
are to be considered and particularly
the prices Of meats, grain, wool, cloth
ing, rents, building materials, etc. An
important provision is that If the in
creased cost has been caused by any
action of congress or any monopoly
the committee shall report with recon-
mendations to relieve the situation.
A number Of other resolutions on the
subject have been introduced in both
senate and house and steps taken for
a thorough investigation.
The National Anti Food Trust

based on the contention that 1t Is not

bine which raises the price OF any ar
ticle Of general consumption unless
the consumers are passive in the mat
ter. If consumers throughout the
country, or, for that matter, In a speci-
fed city, refuse to buy certain art1-
Gle their boycott will be effective.
This in brief is the argument on
which DR.. e. L. Scharf, leader Of the
project, has undertaken to form this
nation wide organization OF consumers
to demonstrate the economic possibili-
ties OF combination Of the spenders
Of the nations income against the va
rious combinations that have been
formed to make. these spenders' money
realize less than it should.
DR.. Scharf's plan is to organize at
least 100000 heads Of families in all
states Of the Union and pledge them to
follow orders from a central commit
tee, which shall forbid on given day
the purchase of, for instance, any beef
product until the market price shall
fall to reasonable figure from prices
regarded as unreasonable.
This program is subject to an I'M
portant modification In cities where
the league finds that beef taking that
commodity again as an example) is be-
ing sold at fair rate the universal
boycott will not apply.
1t is the belief of the projectors OF
the league that such boycott VIII
do an immense amount of good toward
lowering high prices.

BIG BEND WHEAT BELT CALLS
ON FINANCIAL WORLD FOR AID
TO FINANCE BIG WHEAT
FARMS.
Big Bend wants money.

Big Bend wants money.
From the great new wheat belt OF
the Northwest comes the urgent cry,
1--WE must have money" What a
vivid picture this appeal must bring
before the analytical eye OF the bank
er. But halt must be called some
where, says the Inland Herald.
AS a matter of fact Spokane bank
ers are finding it difficult to help out
the fledgling farmers of Grant and
Douglas counties, even though the
risk is gilt-edge and the bankers
heart in sympathy with the great de-
velopment in the Big Bend section.
On the other hand the farmers of
the famous Palouse belt are paying
off the loans OF former years. The
crisis is past in that section OF the
state. Twenty years ago hardly a
son-of-the-soil in the Palouse valley
could afford luxury. They were
land poor. Today the farmer is the
king of his commonwealth and his
lands are cropped and sowej for him.
His working days are over.
Breaking Much Raw Land.
From all over the wheat sections
of the state of Washington drift in
the glad tidings that bumper crops
are assured for 1910. The record
will be broken. Grant and Douglas
counties are breaking out thousands
of acres of raw land, one year ago
untitled, hence the demand for mon
ey.
With all respect due the output
of the lead-silver lodes of the Occur
d'Alenes, it was the Rip Van Wrinkle
money from Sleepy Amsterdam that
bolstered up Spokane of early day.
The far-sighted burghers quietly in
vestigated the lands of the Palouse
valley. Quietly they decided to help
the struggling farmers.
Today the burgher's money is flow
ing back with interest, paid in full
The old Dutch fortunes have been
turned many times in Washington
state
1t is this money that is now going
pell-mell into Grant and Douglas
counties, but the banks have replaced
the power of the burgher, and still
the farmer must have money.
In the newer sections this money
is earning interest at the rate of 8
per cent year. Danes from the old
country are settling the lands of
Douglas and Grant counties and the
wheat lands of the Big Bend section.
They are farmers.
Their methods are such that the
development in this section will be
superior to that of the old-timer.
Consequently the money of Amster-
dam is going unhesitatingly into the
practically raw field to aid the farm
er in his fight for independence.
