President George Harris. the vener.
able head Of the University OF Am.

the age when he should retire In favor
OF a younger generation and accord.
ingly he has sent In his resignation
to the Board OF Trustees.
Professor Harris has been president
OF the university since 1899 and dur.
Ing his administration the institution
has progressed and prospered.
1t was entirely through the efforts
OF President Harris that the first fund
for increasing the salaries OF the
junior professors Of the faculty was
raised. 1t was also through his er.
forts that the last fund OF $4OO, 900
was realized. the object OF which was
to increase the incomes OF the senior

Tidy sIouses.

Blouses made Of thin fabrics often
look untidy and unfinished at the
back, owing to the difficulty In con.
cealing the sewing on Of the hooks
or buttons. A neat way to do this is
to stitch on a small box plait after
the hooks have been sewed on, or the
sewing which shows through can be
covered over with lace, band OF EN-.
broidery or any suitable trimming.
When It Is the placket hole that is

DEFECT OF MODERN SOCIETY
So Great the Expenditure for Clothes
That Little 10 Left to Be En-.
V pIoyed Elsewhere.

The cost Of dress, the absurd
lengths to which expenditure goes on
luxurious and sumptuous clothing, is
now pushed to such an extreme that
a woman's fortune, like that Of q saw
age beauty. may often be seen on her
person. and there is no margin left for
entertaining. for all that makes social
intercourse delightful.
Three years ago 1t was said by a
senator's wife that only the very rich
could now give dinner parties at all,
and that for modest fortunes enter
tanning in any form, except the mild
dissipation Of afternoon tea and
cakes, was out Of the question.
What. 1t may be asked, is the use
of all this amazing expenditure on
finery. II the furs and trinkets, the
hats and robes are not to be exhibit
ed on festive occasions to friends and
admirers? A woman may be dressed
to perfection from head to foot. but
II no one Is to see 1t, and sociability
goes by the board In the effort to be
beautiful, to what end has she made
all this effort?
The matter Is grotesque, and why
her men folk do not put a stop to It
is food for wonder. You might as
well. II you were a child. have doll
which is attired in such costly and
sumptuous fashion that you can never
take 1t out Of Its cupboard. nor afford
to ask your little friends to tea to
look at 1t.
There Is no doubt that in France,
where the love Of dress originates,
and where our woman first fall vic.
tim to this fever for clothes. they
worship to the point Of absurdity the
well.dressed woman.

Farmers Union Movement.

It seems strange that southern
farmers who have always been
thought by many northern farmers, to
be- unprogressive. are the first to take
up cooperative selling. The Farmers
union has among Its members over
5000 cooperative concerns. big and
little. and they are getting more for
their produce than ever before. This
movement is spreading over the entire
country slowly but surely, and farm
ers Of the north and west ought to
give 1t more thought than they do.
