PAPER TOWELS.
Can Be Used but Once, but Their SAM
tary Advantages Are Great.
Not Expensive.

There is now on the market paper
towel, and for it many advantages are
claimed.
The paper towel is made Of a tough,
soft, absorbent Grape tissue paper
made up in long strips which are roll
ed. For use paper towels are carried
on a roller fixture. The long rolled
strip is cross perforated at regular in
tervals, giving to each roll 80 sec
tiOrs or towels, each about a foot in
width by a foot and a half long.
When you want a towel you simply
tear one off.
A paper towel can, Of course, be
used but once, but it is not expensive,
1t is designed to provide a sanitary
towel for hotels and clubs, for schools
and various institutions, for railroad
stations, public buildings, stores and
factories and for domestic use-a
clean towel for every one at every
wash.

SUMMER HATS,
No Definite Shape Prescribed
During Warm Season.
Colors and Trimmings TO Suit Every
Face and Fancy Napoleon
Shape Gives Military Hint
and Is Very Popular.

The subject Of hats is always an in
teresting theme to women. You see,
it doesn't require so much time and
money to doff a hat and don a new
one, and the change makes US feel as
If we were III new regalia. Here are
a few good suggestions to women who
can combine taste with the knack Of
making hats.
The rolling brim is a new turn or
affairs. This is possible if the shape
be of supple straw and the brim be
extremely wide at one side. General
ly the untrimmed hat is blocked IN
this form, but you can roll up the brim
and tack it on the crown after massing
a bunch of flowers and foliage at one
side. Outline the crown with velvet
ribbon and run this through slots on
the upturned brim.
In this season Of scarlet and cerise
it is to be expected that geraniums
will be popular On a green chip with
a slight roll at one side of the wide
brim masses Of the scarlet and cerise
flowers are placed. A fat bow of
green velvet ribbon is used at one
side. The method of trimming is quite
simple and easy followed out at home.
There isn't any bTim to speak of In
a hat whose crown has decided to play
the principal part. 1t is of black chip,
with a bunch Of royal blue plumes at
the back. A band of blue satin ribbon
is tied around the lower part and ends
in a soft bow at the front. This is
reminiscent of the "cloche" of the win
ter.
A study in violets is suggested in q
delightful admiXture of puppies and
laYenders. A crown of the lovely vel
vet flowers is the trimming. There is
a fat bow Of heliotrOpe velvet at the
back, and a velvet facing is on the
under surface of the purple straw.

USING A LINEN SKIRT.
DoiIies and Other Table Decorations
Can Be Made of Discarded
Garments.

The hOusekeeper whose supply Of
dOilies is getting low should look over
her summer wardrobe and see if there
are any heavy linen skirts not worth
making over, but whose material will
last for years.
These can be cut into dOilies of va
rious sizes. One woman from the best
parts of a nine gOred skirt cut an oval
centerpiece, twelve plate dOilies and
twelve tumbler doilies to match, with
four smaller Ovals for under dishes.
The plate doilies were nine inches in
diameter finished and the tumbler dol
lies five inches.
There was no extra cost for stamp
ing, as the edges were finished with
a grouped scallop, the central one be-
ing twice the size Of that on each side.
This applied to the dolly brought two
Of the smaller scallops side by side,
with a large one between every two.
The scallOps were padded with chain
stitch and worked in No. 30 mercerized
white cotton in a close buttOnhOle
stitch
In the center of each scsllop was
worked an eyelet, that in the big
scallop being larger than the others.
A second row of the smaller size was
added, placed opposite the point where
the two small scallOps join. This gives
a pyramidal effect alternating with the
larger eyelets. At one side Of each dolly
were embroidered initials in small
block letters.
This design is easy to copy If one

Blue satin is drawn in folds upon a
girdle form around the waist, and un-
der this sash are tucked the ends or
wide revers that turn back upon the
blouse on each side of the little green
satin vest. 1t is quite mOdiSh to in
troduce a note of apple green costumes
of blue and also of Helen pink, where
the contrast in color is even more star
tling. In this gown an apple green
vest shows above the joining lace
beading around the edges Of light blue
lace undersIeeves and also upon the
edge of the collar.
With this costume is carried a strip
ed chiffon paBasOl of the same cOlOring
as the gown, and dark blue is promi-
nent in the hat.

could be designed for summer wear

bine well, and the bOrdered effects to
be found in all styles of goods at pres
ent lend themselves admirably to this
style of dress.
Chiffon and kindred diaphanOus ma
terialS have never been so cheap, and
it pays to buy them while the price
is low. FOulards, on the contrary,
seem to steadily rise in price, and one
now pays as much as 50 more per

FIND BOIL WEEVIL
 IN ST. CLAIR

Ashville, July 12.-(Speclal.)-A full grown boil weevil was sent to the de- partment of agriculture on Tuesday by J. Gardner Green. The boil weevil was found in the southern end of the county. A bug which answered the description of a boil weevil was found here last fall.
 The people of this county say crops have never been better than they are this year. Some of the older men seem to think that something will surely happen to destroy the crops. This is based on what befell the crops in the July freshe, of several years ago.
 The Ashville baseball team has accepted a challenge of the Oneonta team and a game will be played on Cneonta's homo grounds on Friday.
 It is reported that the Holy Rollers will be in Ashville on next Sunday and hold a meeting in the courthouse. A. l.. Embry of Jacksonville, Fla, is attending the bedside of his brother Harry, who is critically i'll at his home here Harry is the 11-year-old son of Solicitor James A. Embry.

COTTON MARKET IS EASY AGAIN Advance of Tuesday is Lost and the Close Is Quite
 Steady

New York, July 12.-The cotton mar let was easier again today with new crop positions at just about closing their advance of Tuesday under re- newal of liquidation and bear pres sure encouraged by lower Liverpool cables and reports of renewed showers In the western belt. Old crop positions were pretty well maintained but the general market was barely steady at the close and while old crop months were only to points net lower, new crop deliveries showed loss of from IA to 23 points for the day.
 The opening was steady at an ad- vance of points on July but gen 10 disappointing cables and the early weatter map suggesting a return of cloudy and showery weather in the southwest. July soon weakened in sympathy with the later positions and new crop months generally sold off to net loss of about 15 to 16 points during the first few minutes. Around 12.S0c, however, there was some trade demands, leading bull brokers came to

Private wires received late In the day reporting showers this afternoon at several western belt points encouraged re- nowed selling in the last hour, how ever. and closing prices were at about the lowest level of the day on new crop months, with some around the ring very bearish owing to the ex- pectations of a favorable August bu- reau and weather conditions New Or l.ans was q buyer here at times dur ing the day apparently on reports of too much rain, but the south was con- sidered a seller.

CORN SCARS ID
 TOPMOST NOTCH Buying Credited to Noted Speculator Furnishes
 the Motive Power

Chicago, July 12.-Corn prices today scared to the topmost point so far this season. Buying, credited largely to a noted speculator, furnished the greater part of the motive power. Highest fig ures were touched in the last 15 minutes and there was a bouyant close at an ad vance of 7sc to 1ssc net. Latest figures showed wheat lsc up to h4Ac off; oats at ss@1kc to 2c gainA and hog products varying from 21sc decline to a rise of 10c.
 Estimates purporting to make reason ably certain a 10 per cent increase of dam age to corn since July 1 had much effect in bringing about the bulge In the market for that cereal. Many shorts were thus led into a rush for cover. Another result was that the trade as whole turned at- tention away from rains and cooler weather which earlier in the day had caused much unloading by weaker longs. Considerable notice, too, was given the Iowa state bulletin mentioning that as result of scantiness of moisture the crop in the southern counties was in a criti- cal condition. Besides Kansas City sent word that the TdllS Cdlllt toO latc tO bo Oh much use, and that the outlook In the fields appeared again uncompromisingly bullish.
 It was mainly, however, owing to local assertions of a widening area of damage that the course of values headed for the zenith. The total purchases made by the leader on the bull side were alone said to aggregate 2,o00,0 900 bushels or more. Dur ing the session the September option ranged from 647sc to 67i4c, closing strong 1as net higher at 671s@67l4c.
 Influenced materially by the great bull demonstration in the corn pit, wheat gradually hardened after an early display of weakness Other factors that counted against the bears were black rust rumors from Minnesota, the pesslmistic tone of the North Dakota state report and pre- diction that Russian shipments would soon undergo rapid decline. Heavy re- ceipts here and better weather north west had formed the chief reason for the falling off in prices at the outset. Be- tween the opening and the closing Sep tember fuctuated from S914c to 90a4c and in the end was hc up at 905sc.
 Oats more than recovered lost ground when influential interests took the buy ing side on a decline that had been due to cool weather and corn weakness. There was a good spring call. September high and low limits proved to be 41s@474c and 4534c, with the close 471sa47Ac, gain of 9sda4c over last night.
 For hog products there was an out-of- town demand for January options. At the final gong pork had advanced 5 to 10c, lard was 21ac off to 21ac. up and ribs were up 21hc to 71sd10c.

Washington, July 12-The howl raised over a poor pomeranian pupil taken abroad for it's health upon which the un- boly hand of the customs collector was lad when the dog was brought back was declared by Representative Fitz- geiald of New York to be the cause of an amendment of the Payne-Aldrich law passed by the house today.

Generations Were of Half Hearted Character DenOt-

New York July 12.-Operatlons on the stock exchange today were of the half hearted character of midsummer. At the opening and at midday the mar xet advanced but in both cases recess sionst followed and net changes of the standard stocks were unimportant.
 The Southern railroads and Ameri- can Tobacco preferred were the only prominent issues to show gains of a point or more and on the downward movement, losses were kept within correspondingly small amounts except that Canadian Pacific and few inac- tive industrials declined point or more.
 Southern railway was an active fea- ture of the market.

Estimates of the earnings of the United States Steer cor poration for the quarter just ended, vary largely, since they are complicated not only by the reduction in prices, but by the ore movement from the Great Lakes and the heavy important busi- ness.
