According to 'Tama Jim" Wilson,
Secretary of Agriculture, the crying need
Of the United States is for more farmers. In
the near future Dir. Wilson will begin a
thorough investigation to determine the
causes underlying the increased cost Of
living in this country. In discussing the
proposed inquiry Mr.. Wilson said: "TOo
many people are engaged in the business
of distribution. What we need is more
farming. Too many people are rushing
to the town and the city and trying 10
make living there and not enough are
staying in the country. Tco many people

not enough of them are ia the husiuess
Of producing something. One .nan could

WHEN President Taft in his famed

tnat the Payne tariff law was the bes.

Congress and that this would be demon.

was predicted that the rates would provs

Tho Turbsn cOifure

A great change has taken place in the
tasilionable coiffure. The hair is now
flatteued a good deal at the sides and
dressed rather low in the front. The
latest mode is the turban effect in which
the hair, usually supplemented by long
switch, is coled hatly around the head
leaving the crown of the head exposed.
A wide braid loosely plated is often sub
stituted for the coil Of hair but this, to
De really niodish, must be spread out con-
siderably and caught down here aud there
by the big shell pins with square heads
that are now so stylish.
