obscure the suns rays from the eyes,
yet small enough to be out Of the way
of other occupants. They are mere
dolls alongside the larger parasols,
and remind one of the old pictures of
the styles Of the "fifties."
AS was the fashion last year, para
soils will be covered with materials to
match or from the material Of the
gown. A parasol of white silk was
overlaid with organdie to match the
gown with which it was to be used.
Three frills of lace decorated the outer
edge. F'rills of two or more tones Of
the same color shade are used on a
contrasting frame color.
A number of parasols of plain goods
such as pongee or linen have stem
ciled borders; others have one of the
pieces handpainted; and one or two
were shown with insects of lace.
Stripes as favorite style, with the
upper portion formed of narrow
stripes, while a wider satin striped
material is used for the border. Such
model in gray and black was made
to accompany a tailored suit of gray
and black serge.
Handles of polished wood are most
in evidence for ordinary wear. They
may be found in many colors but the
white or cream shade in wood is
shown in greatest numbers. Except
in few cases, a little decoration is used
on these handles. A silk tassel,
rosette Of the silk covering, or a ruff
are sometimes seen on the handles,
but as often as not there is nothing of
the sort. The handle with four sides
is the favorite shape.
Today the scarf is one of the essen
tails of the accessories of dress. They
are of many materials: Beautiful
spangled nets in many colors, striped
chiffons with wide end borders, while
those of Spanish lace in both black
and white are very lovely. Silk or
candle bordered with ribbon are seen.
A handsome scarf was made of old
gold silk, ornamented with, an aid
fashioned buttonhole embroidery in
conventional design, the ends were
finished with long fringe. The Turk
ish scarfs of net heavily overlaid with
spangles are quite heavy enough for
some warmth
While many modes of tying are used
to allow one end on the left to hang
straight and bring the right up to the
left shoulder with a bunch Of flowers

With all his scientific attachments,

for this time of year, but still no
men appear. OF course, later on some
men are sure to come in, but whether
or not there will be enough to sup
ply the demand remains to be seen.
The fine weather has made the
ground just right for blowing below
the foothills, and it should be done at
once. Spraying Of orchards is actively
going on and will continue for two
or three weeks.
When the rock quarry is opened in
the near future number of men will
find regular employment, and as these
will probably live here there will be
the places these men would have
taken, open for some one else. The
concrete work on A. NJ Elam'S new
block will be done in a few days and
then quite few men will find en-
ployment on the brick construction
work.
Last year men were so plentiful
that there was little trouble exper
fenced in getting some one to work on
short notice. Dozens of men lay idle
here for days and when they left
others took their places. These tran
sients had a regular camp over by the
river near the county bridge on the
road to Walla Walla, and they caused
a little trouble to the authorities while
they stayed. Most Of them if asked
to work were not as willing as might
be expected, but by little trouble it
was not very hard to find good man
for nearly any kind of work.
1t is not Thought there will be any
such shortage as there was three
years ago, but men will not be as
plentiful as last year and wages will
be higher.

tuberculosis in HOGS

Reports gathered from the various
meat-packing centers of this country
show tuberculosis of hogs to be on
the increase and causing heavier loss
to raiser and packer alike than any
other disease.
Statistics show that a year ago,
there were lover 100000 hogs in
this country and their value at that
tive was over sSSs,O00,O0O. Federal
inspection at the abattoirs of the
country show per cent. of the hogs
slaughtered to be affected with tub
ercu,osis Reports from Europe show
a far more widespread infection that
runs as high as 5.5 to rs per cent.
The small amount Of money re-
squired to start in the hog-raising bus
mess and the quick returns on the
tive field for operations. Hogs will
make greater gains on less feed than
the same time utilize profitably
waste food products of every variety
if properly prepared. AS tuberculo
sis of hogs is chiefly contracted
through feeding, the significance Of
the latter feature is obvious.
Hogs from Arkansas, Oklahoma
and Texas are remarkably free from
tuberculosis, due to the methods Of
caring for them, or rather the lack
of care. They are not restricted to
feed lots, where disease is commonly
found, but roam over large areas to
shift for themselves. No prolonged
feeding is practiced in narrow limits,
but from birth to maturity they are
pastured on alfalfa, oats, corn, rape,
and peanuts. Hogs raised in the for
est regions of Hungary are likewise
rarely affected with tuberculosis. In
striking contrast are the hogs
slaughtered at three cities in one of
the leading DAIRY states Where tnere
are a large number of cooperative
creameries and the new SKINNED
milk is fed. Samples from two Of
these creameries were injected into
guinea pigs and in one instance viru-
lent tubercle bacilli were recovered.
Buyers for packing houses are
learning from bitter experience to
avoid sections of certain states, and
two firms will not buy hogs from one
state known to be badly infected. In
fact many of the smaller packers in
the central west buy subject to post
self-protection.

Spokane Man
Knows Much

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa, Mar. Is
Howard Simpson, Spokane real es
tate dealer, furnished the sensation in
the trial of John c.. Maybray and his
associates in the United States district
court today, charged with fraudulent
use of the mails.
No witness called thus far received
the attention accorded Simpson Con-
siderable mystery surrounded the man
ner in which he secured information he
vouchsafed in the case and neither side
attempted to show how he came into
possession of it. He indicated clearly
however, that he had been in touch
with the leading defendants for many
years, was perfectly familiar with
their handwriting, their method of OPP
GRAFTON and in most cases with their
personality. Mr.. Simpson said he was
a man of wealth and standing in his
home city.
The government introduced a direc-
tory of about 200 names of men who
are alleged to have been identified
with Maybray in his operations. This
directory was taken from Maybray's
effects when he was arrested at Little
Rock and was compiled, according to
the chirography, by various persons
Simpson unhesitatingly identified the
handwriting of each person and the
defense made no effort to combat his
testimony.
Colonel Temple, prosecuting attorney,
stated he considered Simpsons evil
dence the strongest he had yet intro
duced. 1t is said Simpson will give
further testimony in cases to come
before the court later.

BY Uncle .Hy,um..s

An investigation carried on by the
bureau of animal husbandry in a
certain section of the middle west
consisted of tagging hogs hauled to
market in wagins. OF 1920 animals
tagged it was learned that all of the
affected stock came from less than 6
per cent. of the farms.
1t is known beyond doubt that the
majority of tuberculous hogs are pro-
duced by the following causes:
/. Feeding raw milk and slime
from creameries.
2. Feeding hand-separated mi k
from tuberculous cows.
8. Feeding behind tuberculous
cattle.
4. Feeding tuberculous carcasses.
S. Feeding slaughter house offal.
The danger in feeding hogs behind
tuberculous cattle lies in the fact
that such cattle discharge enormous
numbers of tubercuaous germs in
their feces.
Sooner or later the packer will buy
subject to post-mortem examination,
as some are now doing with certain
classes of female cattle. Then the
hog raiser who persists in fattening
with tuberculous material will be
made to feel the cost of his indiffer-
ence or lack of knowledge. Today
the buyer makes his purchase with
the knowledge that a proportion of
his animals will be condemned and
the price fixed accordingly, with the
result that the careful breeder suf-
fers with the careless one. This is
not equitable. But when the packer
buys subject to post norton results
the painstaking and intelligent raiser
will receive more than he does now
and the ignorant or Indifferent breed
er will get less, which is more nearly
a fair deal for all concerned.-(Press

Wet and Dry
Question Up

DAYTON, Wash, March IS
Especial with "wets" and "drys"
working day and night, Dayton is
agitated by the hottest campaign in
the history of the town. Neither side
is confident of victory when the local
option question is decided on March
20. All admit that the result is going
to be close. 1t is rumored both "wets"
and "drys" are preparing to conclude
the campaign with a poster demon
stration" and public rallies. Thus far
not one public speech has been made
for either side, but two intense un-
dercurrents are felt to be Juggling in
opposite directions, and the registra-
ton, which now is almost complete,
shows that perhaps the largest vote
on record is to be cast a week from
Tuesday Opposing sides are hurry
ing men daily to the registration Of
flee.
The local press is divided with two
publications lauding wet" town and
the other strongly advocating dry"
town. Citizens are contributing signed
articles showing the evil influences
and vice versa, of the grog shops.
One peculiar fact not to be overlooked
in connection with Dayton's unique
war over the saloons is the tide OF
shifting opinion, particularly of bust
ness men. A large number who two
years ago voted wet" are expressing
themselves as favOring a dry" town.
while on the other hand former "drys'
are now strongly "wet." Those close
ly in touch with the situation claim
business is being placed ahead of
principle in most of these cases of
instability.
"Drys" are arguing that since the
saloons were closed last June that
fewer arrests have been made; that
since the local option election was as
sured "wets'' are intoxicating men for
the purpose of giving the impression
that drunkenness is prevalent; that
the tax levy has been reduced; that
there are more business concerns than
before the grog shops were closed;
that local option will stop the whole
sale importation of whisky and make
it harder to secure at the drug stores;
that more money is in circulation with
smaller accounts to collect among
business houses.
VETS claim that several sales now
being conducted were precipitated by
the arid town during the last ten
months; that ticket sales and hotel
registrations show that travel to Wal
la Walla is heavier than ever before;
that more whisky Is being shipped in
to take the place of beer; that the
number of saloons should be limited
and high license charged; that an
anti-treat law should be enforced and
all partitions removed. If the town
should go ''wet" there is no question
it is claimed, but that the anti-treat
law will be passed here.

edged with a deep fringe knotted in
an intricate pattern. The handle was
of plain white wood, four-sided, high
ly polished, with mush room shaped
top. A green silk parasol, also an
airship model, was finished with a
double hanging fold of the silk applied
at the extreme adge, forming a good
shade for the eyes.
