HINTS BY MAY MANTON
A SMART LITTLE COAT.

The simple loose coat In the box
style is one that always is in demand
for little girls. This one can be made
with round or square collar and can
be worn either with or without a
shield. consequently It is adapted to
many materials and to the entire sea-
son. In the illustration serge is trim
med with velvet, and such combina-
tions are exceedingly fashionable, but
simple as the coat is It can be varied
in a number OF ways. Mixed cheviots
and cloths are being greatly worn
this season, and one of these with col
lar and cuffs of plain broadcloth
would be exceedingly smart, or tho
coat could be made Of serge or cheviot
with the collar of broadcloth in the
same color banded with a contrasting
color. The shield can be made to
match or OF a different material just
as liked. The side closing makes an
important feature Of the season and
the big collar is becoming and attrac-
tive. on whatever line II is cut If a
shorter coat is wanted the lower por-
tion can be cut off on the line indi-
Gated In the back view. Embroidery
with heavy silk and wool threads is to
be much used as a finish for coat col
lars and cuffs, and this coat made
with collar and cuffs Of broadcloth
treated in that way would be eX-
ceedingly attractive.
For a girl Of 10 years of age will be
required "a yards of material 81,
IA yards SO, or 1-2 yards "a or
So inches wide, with 3-4 yard Of vel
vet for collar and cuffs
A May Manton pattern, No. I'LL,
sizes 6, 8, 10 and IL years of age, will
be mailed to any address by the
Fashion Department of this paper on
receipt of ten cents

started was that farming wealth could
be greatly advanced by bringing into
the country the best products OF all
other countries. This means much
work and care. Frequently a plant
cannot be transplanted in its original
form: but it can be bred into the
plant that already grows here. or 1t
can be combined with the plant Of an
other country, the final product being
such that it will flourish in some sec
ton Of the United State.
His theory has already produced the
results ne anticipated; but he expects
it to DO even more. His policy Of in

and when they discover fruit or
flower or "a plant that looks good TO
them they have to figure out the part
Of the United States best suited 10 its
growth and development.
But the expense Is more than offset
by the ultimate gain. "UnClc Jim ing

THE GARDEN KING

LIE is the Human Hoe. He is the
IL uncrowned King of Gardeners,
and, if offered a coronet, he would
probably ask that it be woven out Of
alfalfa. When Ruth gathered grain in
the fields Of Boaz, She attained 10 great
celebrity; and Ceres, having been
lifted up by the ancient Greeks as the
Goddess Of Sowing and Reaping, be-
came famous.
But the farmers Of the Bible and
mythology have nothing on James
Wilson. Secretary OF Agriculture for the
United States. He has taken the world
rs his garden, and has worked il and IS
workingit on plan beautiful to behold.
When he became head Of the depart
ment fourteen years ago. it amounted
20 very little: but now il is engaged in
bringing into this country the fruits
md flowers Of every cline and land.
Thisis merely phase Of Mr.. Wilson,
activity: but. when man undertakes
20 transplant the fora Of the whole
earth into the boundaries Of one
country, the thing deserves particular
mention. II has about il a largcneSs

secretary, wrote him today, return

ter Mr. Davis said:

recognized reactionary like yourself

From Fridays Daily.
Minneapolis, December 30.-John
G. Lennon, the Minneapolis legisla-
tor SO warmly denounced by re-
form organizations during the recent
campaign, has signed the credentiaI
card issued by the Minnesota Pro-
gressive Republican league, pledging
himself to the measures considered
by the league as a test of progress
sive republicanism. The signing of
this card would make Mr.. Lennon
an accredited delegate to the con
ventiOn which meets in Minneapolis
Jan. 4, but the general secretary, w.
E. Davis, has returned the card in
letter, refusing Mr.. Lennon admit
lance. Though invited by the league,
the invitation is withdrawn as soon
as accepted by Mr.. Lennon.
Mr.. Lennon said today that he had
not signed the card for the purpose
of taking part in the convention
but because he has decided to vote
for the bills advocated by the
league. Like all the republican
members of the incoming legisla.
ture, he received an invitation to
attend the convention, and with it a
credential card. He was asked tc
become a member by signing this
card and pledging his support to the
principles of the league, which in
clude the initiative and referendum

state officers and United States sen

called board dining room, total
amount that in any case was ex-
cessive, they should be criticised for
using poor judgment. There can
be no question raised as to the
misuse of funds. If men prominent
in the official life of other states
responded to invitations to visit the
Minnesota state fair, these men
were properly guests of the insti-
tuition.
Broad.Minded Policy.
ct is this broad-minded policy
that has given the Minnesota state
fair the splendid reputation which
it enjoys and has much to do with
securing year after year such a
large attendance from Wisconsin,
Iowa, the Dakotas and other states.
The fair board should be commend
ed for all that has been done along
these lines.
81 do not understand that the
state fair board made a contribu-
ton of $4,000 toward the expense OF
the conservation congress, but
united in jointly advertising the
congress and the fair, and shared in
the expense of this advertising CAM
paign. The money was we'll eX
pended, and the gate receipts indi-
cate that the state fair board re-
ceived $40 for every 81 expended in
this manner. Mr.. Schaefer probably

pose of this expenditure, or he would
