is hinged to the window sill or porch
post and held in horizontal position
by wire or cord fastened above It.
In the groove slides a hub, which has
spokes extending from it, and cords
connect these hubs, like the cross Sec
lions of spiders web. Indeed, the
dryer resembles a huge spiders web
when extended AS will be noticed
there is ample space to hang large
wash on this dryer. which can be
drawn in to a point where 1t is easy
to reach and the clothes put on.
When out of use the hubs and sup
porting rod can all be drawn into
parallel position with each other and
the whole drawn back against the
post, like a bundle of sticks.

Ostrich Bands,

Cut ostrich feathers are now being
made into bands for trimming hats
and dresses. These come in all col
ors that are adapted for street and
house wear. They are uncurled, and
therefore can be taken out into the
rain with safety If you wish. They
are light in weight and give the effect
Of fur. which points speak eloquently
in their favor.
Ostrich bands edge some Of the
large hats of velvet or silk. The trim
ming is applied on the edge of the
wide brims, and usually there is lit
tie else required
Some velvet suits are shown with
cuffs and long revers of this trimming
Gray on gray velvet, black on black
or colors are most effective.
The scarfs and muffs of feathers
and fabric are beautiful When you
consider that the bands are procurable
by the yard, there Is no limitation to
the many forms that the trimmings
can take.

Our meeting on the 4th of July will
be an event of national Importance.
We have already referred to the or

PARENTS AND CHILDREN.

Ring! Ring! Daddy Jim, of
course, you are sitting wondering who
is ringing your door bell. But open
the door quickly and you will see
that it is your little daughter, Clyde.
Why, you look surprised, but I like
to come so we'll that I could not wait
any longer. l will take this chair,
thank you. Why, good morning,
Cousins What subject are you dis
cussing? 1t seems that you are just
having a splendid time. It is so kind
for Daddy Jim to arrange it so we
can talk to each other. You all seem
so kind and thoughtful of each other,
DO you have the same kindness in
your home life? I trust you do.
That is one duty a child owes to it's
parents. How many of you are kind
to your mother and father? If you
stop and think minute, you ought
to realize how much they have cared
and done for you. You do not know
how much you love them until they
are dead. That is what [ think
have my mother and father After
they are dead, you Will think if you
had them back again you would be
better to them than you are. But
their time has gone forever, and you
cannot recall them. Not long ago I
heard a woman say that if she had
her mother back again, she would not
leave her alone like she did several
times when she was living. I think
she is good woman, but just hap
pened to be thoughtless. Cousins, I
think all of you are good, but some
times you may be thOughtless. But
now this woman's mother is gone
You cannot call mamma or papa and
tell them of your trials. [ know it
is hard to have to give them up. If
they lived a Christian life they are
better off than we are, for they are
in Glory. They know nothing of sor-
row or trouble; all they know is to
be happy The more good they did
while on earth, the more they will
have to enjoy in Heaven. So if you
will follow them and do good deeds,
when we die they will meet us at the
Golden Gate and welcome us to our
beautiful home. l often think if we
lead a Christian life, when we die
what a happy day it will be when we
all get home. Now stop a minute and
think all these things over, and let
all of us try and live better, SO we
can welcome some one at the Golden
Gate. I am afraid I have stayed too
long, so goodbye. Lovingly, CLYDE

Asking for Seed Wheat

In the northwest corner of Kan
sas a series of poor crops terminal
ing this year in complete failure
has put the farmers in a bad hole,
In July a number of letters asking
for seed wheat were written TO the
Rock Island. These letters we're
referred to Mr.. Cottrell, agricul-
tural commissioner of the Rock Is
land lines, who answered them by
saying in substance: If you have
been raising wheat for twenty
years, and at the end of that period
6ndyourselyes unable to buy seed,
] would advise you to try some
other crops"
Then the farmers began TO ask
the county commissioners to buy
seed wheat, and it was found that
there was no law to permit such
an action by the county commits
sioners. The rains of the past two
weeks have put that section of the
state in excellent shape for seeding
and the agitation for seed wheat
is increasing.
Last week meeting of Cheyen.
ne, Rawlins, Decatur, Sherman,
Thomas, Graham, Logan, Trego,
representatives was held at Colby,
and resolutions passed setting forth
conditions, and asking Governor
Stubs to call special session OF
the Legislature to pass a law to en-
able the county commissioners to
provide a reasonable amount OF
seed IN counties where it is needed.
At Garden City a club of mer-
chants has been formed to buy
seed wheat and furnish it to farm
ers on shares. A similar plan is
being agitated for Liberal and q
number of the merchants have
made arrangements to furnish seed
wheat to one or more farmers
If there is need of more seed than
we can furnish, it would be we'll
for the state representatives from
the southwest count es to join those
of the northwest in asking for a
special session. In order to do
much good here the seed should be
in the farmers hands by Septem-
Der first. If we can be shown
that more seed is needed than can
be furnished here, the Democrat
is willing to work for the special
session. However, we believe now
that we can provide the seed with
out asking the county or state.
