The millinery
TOQUE FEATURE
These Little Hats Are the
Leaders

New York, April 6,-New SPRING
time millinery includes a collection of
the quaintest looking toques made in
the finest of materials, such as tulle,
la e, metallic tissues an dfnely woven
crinoline. Some are in empire shape,
made with velvet brims and crowns of
ostrich feathers, others are simply
draped to the head, with fan-like eds
ings of lace falling on to the hair, and
aigrettes of wayside grasses rising at
the side.
Some of these little toques have a
very freakish appearance when view
ed off the head, but when worn are
most becoming.
A hat of this kind, made of folded
legal, with no foundation, when slip
ped we'll on the head, coming low at
the back and sides, looks remarkably
well, with it's trimmings Of rosebuds
and tiny leaves made of satin. Cher
ries in velvet are another good trim
ming for a hat of this shape, the clus-
tiers of cherries being arranged to fall
over the ears.
The hats for early spring wear are
decoated in some cases with odd-look-
feathers in curious colorings. These
hats are small and high in shape, the
feathers towering up in the front or
side, giving the effect of additional
height. There is nothing stiff-looking
about these hats. They are mostly
made of folded legal or chip, and
they give a clear view of the wearer's
coiffure at the side and also at the
front.
But the novelty really lies in the
feathers. Some are like young trees,
with graduated branches spreading
out from a central stem to a point at
the top. The colorings shade from
black to faded brown, tinged with red,
while some are in green and black,
with a touch of blue. This tree effect
is formed of uncurled ostrich feathers.

Ottawa, Ont, April 6.-The move
ment of negroes into Western Canada
to take up free homesteads, was
brought up in parliament today by
Mr.. Theburn, an Ontario member. He
declared that hundreds of colored set
tiers had emigrated from the United
States and at the rate the movement
was growing, there soon would be
thousands of them planted in the
Northwest He asserted that they are
not suited to Canadian conditions and
would not make desirable settlers. The
government, he declared, should do
something to discourage the move
ment
Minister of the Interior Oliver 70

prohibit the entry of negro settlers,
and that the government could only
administer law While the situation
was being carefully watched the gov
eminent has not yet seen fit to take

Montgomery, Ala, April 6.-State-

knockout today when both branches
of the Alabama legislature adopted the
Smith liquor regulation bill, as report

Big AVERAGE in CUKES
down ON THE FARM
LARGE Area Planted in Pickle
Article

Out near Americas, on the Ware
Progress farm, Supt. ]. L. Glawson is
preparing to plant the largest Gu
cumber patch" ever seen in Georgia
and from which he will pick enough
"cukes" to dill pickle the universe
Vast areas. stretching for a half a
mile, will be devoted to the culture ci
cucumbers.
This is upon the company's line of
diversified farming and trucking, as
we'll as raising peaches.
The "cukes" will be cultivated just
as watermelons would be- and the
yield will be enormous. In fact, from
thirty to forty carloads would appear
a very low estimate.
But there is a demand for cucum-
bers, a great demand, and the Ware
Progress Co. will sdll every little
"cuke" that is produced in this big
thousand acre farm. The large pickle
factories out in the West want the
young cucumbers, and they will be
shipped from Americas in carload
lots.
Already several of the large facto-
ries putting up cucumber pickles are
corresponding with the company here
regarding the purchase of Sumter
county's cucumber patch and the
handsome cash retunRs thereupon are
expected.
