ULARlTY rs SHOWN.
Both Heavy and Light Varieties viii
Be Used This Season-wioe Bands
10 Be Employed Extensively
on Dresses and Costumes

Every indication points 10 a tremen-
dous increase IN the popularity OF
laces. IL il predicted thar not only
will the heavier types OF laces be
used during the winter season. but
that even the very light varieties will
be employed more extensively as the
season advances. Heavy laces. such
as real Venice. Cluny. hlet and Irish
effects. will be much worn. as well as
the m-achine-made limitations OF these
laces. The popularity 81 cotton and
silk marquisettes will make Venice
laces great fayOrites.
Beautiful patterns Of lace or en-
broidered designs on flet nets are 10
be had which. when combined with
marquisettes or other sheer materials,
produce some stunning effects. Real
handmade flet iaces may be had with
handworked designs. but the effect
and finish OF the machine-made imita-
lions are very similar. and these are
the goods that will be bought by most
women. Macrame. Irish crochet and
Cluny Will be much used.
Light laces. such as m~alines. or
shadow laces. and the Chantillies. will
be used alone and in combiaation with
the heavier types OF laces. Founces
and bands OF white shadow lace will
be extensively used on gowns OF satin
or sheer fabrics. TUNES and trans
parent oats OF shadow lace or Chan

form. Some OF these laces will be
seen Ia wildly dyed colors as well
as black and white.
Wide bands in all kinds OF laces will
be used extensively on dresses and
costumes. The extreme widths will
be used as a band e~ncircling the
flounces OF the skirts. and the narrow
or widths 10 match will be Used on the
waist front and on the sleeves.
The popularity OF these wide bands.
which may be had in width up 10
eighteen inches. has brought out some
interesting patterns in heavy designs
that are indeed stunning.
Jabots or plisses are extremely wide
and long. In the majority OF cases
they extend TO the waist line and over
as far as the shoulder. The shape is
generally broader at the top than at
the bottom.
Sleeves for evening wraps are made
very large. and among the new mod
els are those having the long shoul-
der line with the sleeves attached.
Draped skirts are as yei only mod
erately successful on this side OF the
water. though their popularity in PEri.
Is very great
Ribbon trimmings are still In high
favor for millinery.

On account OF the long continued
hot weather during the early part OF
last summer. many farmers failed 10
secure a satisfactory stand Of clover.
This gives rise TO two important Ques-
tons. The one is what shall be done
10 provide hay for next year and the
other is what shall be done with the
fields which we're expected 10 be in
clover. To put these fields back 10 a
grain crop will spoil the rotation and
the loss Of the legume viii be detri-
mental to the fertility Of the soil.
To do without the expected hay crop
vii be inconvenient.
Both difficulties can be overcome by
sowing the fields 10 COW peas next
spring. This will preserve the essen
tial feature In the rotation and also
provide an excellent hay crop 10 take
the place OF the clover. That the COW
pea has the same beneficial effect upon
the land and makes as valuable a hay
crop as the clover has been abundant
ly proven. and no one need doubt its
practicability.
The accompanying Illustration shows
a field of o. peas grown for hay on
the Purdue farm. The average yield
was 1927 pounds OF cured hay per
acre. Yields OF four tons per acre
have been secured and three ton
yields are not uncommon. Under av-
erage conditions the cow pea may
be expected TO yield fully as much

The need Of better dairy stock In
Indiana. as well as in other states. is
very evident. Recent investigation
made by the dairy department OF Pur-
due disclosed the fact that there were
herds producing s2.56 worth OF butter
fat for each 81 worth of feed received.
and that other herds produced only
s1.20 worth OF butter fat from each
81 worth of feed received. A differ
ence OF 5 cents in the o OF produc-
ing one pound of butter fat was also
found between two herds.
When we consider that the average
production OF dairy cow In the Unit
ed states is estimated at $50 pounds
OF butter fat. and that the best rec
ords Of high producing COWS is around
1000 pounds OF butter fat. we may
readily see that there Is a vast
amount OF room for the improvement
OF the dairy stock OF the country.
In Indiana II has been estimated
that there are 200.0 900 cows that are
not making a profit above the cost Of
the feed they receive and the labor OF
caring for them. n they could be re
placed with COWS making a profit Of
only So (and hundreds OF good cows
are making a profit Of $50 and s60l.
II would mean a million dollars to
the state.
There are three methods OF select
ing dairy animals. as follows:

tors.

THE LITTLE WIDOW
a Mighty Good Sort OF Neighbor to
Have.

"A little widow. a neighbor of mine.
persuaded me to try Grape-Nuts when
my stomach was so weak that 1t
would not retain food OF any other
kind" writes a grateful woman. from
San Bernardino Co. Cal.
Il had been i'll and confined to my
bed with fever and nervous prostra-
tion for three long months after the
birth OF my second boy. We were in
despair until the little widows advice
brought relief.
Il liked Grape Nuts food from the
beginning, and in an incredibly short
time II gave me such strength that /
was able to leave my bed and enjoy
my three good meals a day. Ii 2
months my weight increased from %
TO 113 pounds. my nerves had steadled
down and | felt ready for anything.
My neighbors we're amazed 10 see me
gain so rapidly. and still more so
when they heard that Grape-Nuts
alone had brought the change.
My 4-year-old boy had eczema very
bad last spring and lost his appetite
entirely, which made him cross and
peevish. put him on a diet OF Grape
Nuts. which he relished at once. He
improved from the beginning. the &c
