~ dious days at the best and lit
" tie attentions and remem-
~ brances at this time are quite
as much appreciated by the invalid
as anxious inquiries during the period
of severe illness. There are many
little gifts which may be taken to a
convalescent as a variation on the
eternal monotony of flowers, jellies
and broths, and one of the most ac-
ceptable of these gifts is a lap blan-
ket or rug" as the English call such
a protection.
The convalescent is usually well sup
piled with pretty negligees which low
ing relatives have made ready for the
first happy days of sitting up" but
rarely is there any dainty lap covering
to match the dainty dressing gown,
and over the invalid's knees must be
spread an ordinary blanket or COM
fort from the bed, which, besides be-
ing heavy and cumbersome, does not
match the color scheme of the negli-
gee Invalids are very sensitive to
colors and it is twice as easy to get
well rapidly if one possesses the happy
consciousness that, instead of being
a pitiful wreck, dressed up any old
way to receive compassionate visitors,
one makes a charming and interest
ing picture of invalidism. Usually
the invalid herself is too weak to make
any effort toward beautifying herself,
but she appreciates such attempts on
the part of those about her.
Dainty lap covers with slippers to
match come all ready packed in a
portable bag, as shown in the picture,
and sometimes these lap covers and
slippers come in sets with comfort

This coat is a soft gray in tone with
f1ecks of white and black on the sur
face of the material, and the reverse
side is blush violet, which makes a
charming color scheme with the gray
outer fabric The big cape collar at
the back is smarter now than the
square sailor collar, which has been
done to death and is in disfavor with
high class tailors. Strappings of the
gray material. stitched over the violet
facing, add an effective touch and
three of these straps placed crosswise
at both back and front give a new
and modish touch. The buttons are
the huge affairs now considered cor
rect on these big coats. and are of
dull silver set in black wood rims.
The coat is double breasted and this
manner of cut, with the deep cape
collar and broad revers, make it splen-
didly warm for autumn motoring and
steamer wear.
The Hood Which Is Now High in
Fashions Favor.
Once in so often hoods come back
into fashion and this season they are
ascending the slope to their periodi-
cal pinnacle. As yet hoods are seen
only on high class and e. pensive coats.
but very shortly they will crop out,
very likely, on dozens of ready-to-we:
coats under the twenty dollar mark
Sufficient unto the day. however, is
the fashion thereof, and the woman
who likes a hooded coat will be safe
in buying it, for the style Is too grace
full to wear itself out all in an instant.
The hooded coat illustrated is made
of navy blue cloth with a reverse of

used in the cape There are also
turned back cuffs of the fawn colored
fabric, the buttons, which do not show
in the print, are of polished light
brown wood in mahogany rims. Such
a coat may be worn motoring or on
the street over little morning frocks
of serge or mohair cut short enough
to escape the ground.
Though fewer of the snow white
motor coats are seen now than was
the case early in the summer, these
attractive coats are still worn in the
country and look very warm and cosy

AN APPRECIATED LECTURE
 Last Sunday afternoon large crowd of men and boys assem- bled at the City Park to hear the lecture of Rev. A, M. Shaw, on his favorite theme, Samson in Fetters of Brass"
 Everyone expected to hear something good, because this speaker has made for himself a reputation as a pulpit orator second to none in this country: nor were they, or any of them destined to be disappointed. For one and one half hours he held his vast audience in the very closest attention, while with eloquent, burning words he de- picted the dangers which beset the pathway of men and boys in the vicissitudes of life. He held up lofty ideal, a single stand.

Washington, 3. g, october IS The
following from the report Of n. F.

of the Arkansas Farmers Union shows
that a closer business relation between
the organized farmers and the organi-
zed wage workers would benefit both:
Cabbage sold by farmers for $4,-

paid $9,125,0oO for: the rice that the

sumner paid $6,d91 900 for; the pota-
toes sold BY the farmers for $S,437, 600
the consumer paid $eo.OOo,OOO; onions
which the farmers sold for 1921, 900
the consumer in New York City paid
$8,212 900 for. Hams in Washington,

per pound for, the consumer was
charged % cents and rs cents per

should be accomplished between the

would mean a great saving to both

BREEDS OF CHICKENS

cloIes Of Variety Depends Upon pur-

a. General Purpose.

by a. ARTHUR BELL, U. g. Depart
ment OF Agricufture.)
For convenience. chickens may be
classified n egg breeds, meat breeds.
general-purpose breeds, and fancy or
ornamental breeds. This II Z some
what arbitrary classification and must
be understood Al expressing general
characteristics. for moi only many Of
the general-purpose breeds, but also
many individuals Of the meat and
fancy breeds r good layers. One per.
son might class q certain breed as q
meat breed. while another would place
the same breed In the general-purpose
class.
The egg breeds include the small or
medium-sized fowls which are very
active. quick to mature, producers Of
w~hite-shelled eggs. usually non-sitters
or at most poor s~itters, and rather
poor mothers. The various varieties
Of Leghorns and Minorcas are good
representatives Of this class. Because
they are poor s~itters, some other
breed, or at least a few other fowls,
should be kept II natural methods Of
incubation are to be employed. On
account Of their early maturity It IL
not uncommon for Individuals to begin
laying at the age Of four and one
half months. As mentioned above,
these breeds + very active and do
not fatten as readily under ordinary
conditions as the larger and less active
breeds. The fowls Of this class have
large combs and wattles. which make
them rather sensitive to low tempera-
lures.
