For the School Girl.

The young girl in her teens is pro
verbally difficult to dress, but very
often the simplest and most sensible
solution of the difficulty is to copy
mother and to adhere to the tailor
made.
The fine stripes that are so fash
ionable make very suitable schoolgirl
costumes, especially In the vague
black and gray stripes that are now
worn. The skirt is cut simply with
an apron back and front fastened
down by large buttons of the materi-
al; the coat is short and single or
double-breasted without trimming, but
with the collar faced with gray vel
vet.
Matching the costume, the hat
should be of gray beaver, with Just
one touch of color, cerise feather.

GAVE TOUCH OF ORIGINALITY
How One Clever Girl Evolved In
senious Scheme That Is Worthy
to Become Fashion.

Seeing in the shops the tiny mar
row bands of folded black satin, with
their long silken or heavy beaded tas-
sells, used as a neck finish, certain
ingenious girl added the touch of
originality to her new afternoon gown
by making, to go with it, tie of
braided folds of black satin.
The little tie was of the usual
three strand braiding, the satin strips
being very small and carefully blind
stitched along the entire length. 1t
was long enough to go around the
neck and hang almost 10 the waist,
the ends being worked into a clever
little "rosette," with a jet beaded
center. Another tiny medallion COW

which held the tie together.

LIGHT NEEDED
FOR ALL TREES
II InfIusnces Transportation and
Consequently MctaboIisrn of
Green PIants - Other
Effecta.

Light Is said to be absolutely in
dispensable for the life and growth of
trees. In common with other green
plants, a tree, in order to live, must
produce organic substance for the
building of new tissues. Certain low
forms of vegetable life. such as bac-
terra and fungi. do not require light.
They exist by absorbing organic sub
stance from other living bodies: the
higher forms of plants manufacture
their own organic material by extract
through the agency OF their chloro-
phyll. or green coloring matter, abb
sorb from the air carbon dioxide, and
give off a nearly equal volume of
oxygen. The carbon dioxide is then
broken up into its elements and con-
yerted into organic substances which
are used in building up new tissues.
Light also influences Transportation,
and consequently the metabolism of
green plants. 1t influences largely the
structure, the form, and the color of
the leaf, and the form of the stem
and 1t largely determines the height
growth of trees, the rate at which
stands thin out with age, the progress
of natural pruning, the character OF
the living ground cover, the vlgor of
young tree growth, the existence OF
several storied forest. and many other
phenomena upon which the manage.
ment of forests depends. A thorough
understanding. therefore, of the effect
of light upon the life of Individual
trees. and especially on trees In the
forest. and knowledge OF the meth.
DDS by which the extent OF this effect
can be determined are essential for
successful cultural operations in the
forest.

Effective Combination of Materials
That There ls Little Doubt
Is to Be Popular.

A brown taffeta dress (by the way.
brown taffeta is certainly going to be
the right wear for the next few
months) is trimmed with brown fur.
The corsage is bloused into narrow
taffeta belt quite simply. and around
the throat lies a soft cream lace col
larette. The skirt is also bloused
just above the knees, over a broad
band of fur, which rises a little be-
hind. and below 1t the taffeta is tied
into a careless. fat sort of bow, which
hangs not quite in the middle, behind.
The sleeves are long and have a
touch of creamy lace at the wrists.
With simply dressed hair. a sable
toque and big fur coat. could any
thing be more desirable or charm

ment. while chills hinder or are in

Some have fashion of letting the
pigs run about the yard in winter.
sometimes shutting them In at night.
and In other cases letting them find
their own accommodations, but this is
a bad way.
They certainly make themselves
most comfortable at times, but the
exposure which is equally freely In

factory result, and 1t Is much better
to confine them all to their proper
quarters.
These should be in good order, with
absolutely waterproof roofs and sur
roundings that will prevent draughts.
There should be no holes in the floors,
as these make the bedding muck very
quickly. and comfort is thereby re.

WILL WELCOME NEW CoRsETS
Very Graceful and Comfortable Are
the Lines That Have the In
dorsemcnt of Paris.

Lower in bust than ever are the
stays, and the sloping shoulders of
the kimono sleeve and the graceful,
draped fichu are but tendencies which
pointed the way for this new figure.
Some of the newest Partisan cor
sets are but mere girdles above the
waist-quite frequently not reaching
to the bust. The idea is to give one
long line shoulder to waist-a gently
sloping line with the bust as low as
possible.
But not below the waist Is the cor
set growing shorteri Far from it.!
Longer and still longer grow
mademoiselle's stays-one wonders
how they can be worn with comfort.
But they can, for many of them are
not heavily boned. but beautifully
shaped and so arranged that the fig
ure may be kept slim and youthful
below the waist line.
Not below the waist line alone,
however. is the figure to be youthful
but above it as well. The high,
lifted waist line, the low bust, the
slim, sloping shoulders-all this is
calculated to keep madame from
showing the ravages of time-to keep
her youthful as possible.
Very comfortable. indeed, are these
new corsets, for If they hold the body
they keep 1t supple and free above
the waist, allowing ease and freedom
of movement and perfect comfort.

Live stock is the foundation OF all
systems Of permanent agriculture and
agriculture is, in turn, the base upon
which rests the superstructure OF all
national prosperity.
No country on earth has ever con-
tinued to prosper without live stock
as a vitality important part of its ag-
riculture and none can do so. The
crops from the soil supply nutrition
for the animal body and the waste
products of our barns and feed lots
furnish food for the plants. Neither
can long exist without the other.
The grain farmer fiourishes for a
time, but with every load of grain he
sends to market he sells a portion OF
his farm. If not during his lifetime,
then In the time of his children, will
his farm become worn and worthless.
High-priced land or high-priced
feeding stuffs should not shorten tho
production of live stock. The cheap
cattle of the ranges were possible
only because of the cheapness OF the
land. With the increase in the price
