Secretary Hays Of the League
has before him a mass of CORE
spondence relative to the proba-
Bile cost of a small grain elevator
and warehouse, including corn
meal and chop feed mill, indicating
that the cost will not exceed three
to five thousand dollars, and it is
hoped that sufficient interest may
be aroused amongst the members
of the League to insure the con-
struction of this much needed en-
terprise.

On account of rumors to the
effect that Mr.. L. E. Fancher's
molasses were made up too early,
he requests The Commonwealth
to state that such is not the fact.
All of Mr.. Fancher's Louisiana
ribbon cane was thoroughly ma
tured before making it into mo-
@lasses, and he assures the public
that if he had waited until after
frost to cut his cane the molasses
produced would not have been
near so delicious as it is. If you
want to buy some real good mo-
lasses call him up and discuss the
matter with him.

neck uncovered. Probably, as an access

may survive for a space, but it Is alb
solutely taboo for blouses and bodices.
There are some, perhaps, who Will regret
that the usual swing of the pendulum has
brought into vogue once again the high

accumulated form. 1t is simply of amaz-
ing height, more especially at the back,
where the summit disappears in the roots

Fortunately, the modelling is equally
amazing, and, since transparent materials
only are permissible, there is little or no
discomfort. We have not heard. however,

necessarily inseparable from the task Of
maintaining these collars fresh and Of

Latest American Fashions
BY CORA MOORE.

From a host Of charming evening
frocks exploited at a recent exhibition,
the model illustrated was selected as
representative Of the new fashion trend.
Without disturbing the play of long
lines or interfering with the sinuous ef-
feet that is one Of the most interesting
characteristics of the present modes. a
new drapery is introduced that bears no
resemblance to other treatments.
Tho materials employed are white char
meuse, banded with inch-wide skunk and
white marquisette, embroidered delicately
in emerald green This suggests a most
interesting method of converting one
of the straight around skirts such as,
probably every wardrobe. included last
summer, into thoroughly up-to-date
frock.
The skirt would require practically no
retouching, and the charmeuse, vir-
tually straight width, is draped about
the lower part, as clearly shown In the
sketch, then properly arranged with
folds sagging toward the right. The
train is separate and hung from the
waist. or it may be swung from the
point where the drapery is started, &C.
cOrding to the amount Of material there
is to work with.
The corsage consists Of two sectinos,
with sleeves cut in one, Of the en-
brOidered marquisette, inclosing a lit
tie tucker of plated plain white mar
quisette headed with a narrow band OF
rhinestone trimming. \ peplum, also of
the embroidered marquisette, is attached
to sides and back, which, with the fur
banding. outlines a graceful jacket, the
high girdle OF the charmeuse and the
satin giving just the finishing touch re-
quired.
Not by any means the least interesting
turn fashion has taken this season in
wolves the use of figured materials with
plain, and the former are not confined
to the gorgeous brocades which. in many
cases, are prohibitively expensive. AS
this model demonstrates, great deal can
be done with less pretentious materials,
and. even here. If economy is matter
to be considered, the embroidered trans
parency might be hardly less successfully
replaced with a. printed chiffon or even
one of figured silks, with velvet substi-
tuted for fur. The fur, however, should
be retained If possible.
In a model of this kind it is the color
scheme which counts most. The white
and green, toned by a bit Of brown fur,
is a charming conception, but, If de-
sired, it could be worked out in more
subdued effect in grays or in gray char
meuse with gray chiffon, or charmeuse
embroidered in pink or in ecru with
rose matching the tone Of the fur. Pale

Judging from many recent importa-
place as trimming this winter. They are
used in profusiOn, all shapes and sizes, and
of many varieties, the principal mode Of
placing them being in straight rows. This
drawing shows one Of the many gowns
thus trimmed. 1t is made of tan char
meuse, with collar and girdle Of green
velvet. Rows of buttons covered with
the material trim the front of the bodice
and catch the drapery Of the sleeve which
is folded into a cuff effect below the
elbow. This skirt is a. concession to the
pannier effect, the drapery Of the tunic
being gathered into several short hOri-
zontal pleats near the bottom at the front
and the tunic laid in two small closely
set box pleats down the center front,
which are trimmed with buttons.

After custard is poured in you may add

One Kind Of Slavery.
By RUTH CAMERON.

Do you exist for your house or does
your house exist for you?
The other day I went to call on a wom-
an who has just moved into q beautiful
new house. She has been planning and
working for the change many years and
| it is indeed handsome building.
| But I do not have any trouble to keep
from breaking the tenth commandment
| in my thoughts of her.
Indeed no. On the contrary, I am sorry
for her.
For she is so obessed by her worship Of
that house that she exists to serve it in
stead of subscribing 1t to her pleasure and
comfort, and making real home of it.
Let me give you a few illustrations.
The bathroom in her new house, refuse
| to call it a home-is exquisite. 1t is all
white and blue and the fixtures are cop
per. Now to keep these fixtures bright,
| their owner says, takes her exactly one
hour and a half three times a week.
That's four hours and a half a week.
| And yet my friend said regretfully,
| Some lovely people called on US when
we first came. but / simply haven't had
| time to return their call"
Again. there is a brand-neW gas range
| in the kitchen. 1t has every convenience
| of attachment that modern ingenuity can
devise and it was absolutely spotless My
| friend is notable hOusekeeper. but the
| immaculateness of this was wonderful
| even for her, and 1 said well, you
see," she explained, II hardly use it at
all. because 1 hate to get it unused up.
l have my old range down cellar. and
| do most of my cooking there" And yet
my hostess told me she didn't know when
| she had been SO tired as this fall. She
thought it was the bad weather.
1t was a very warm day when called
| and yet not window in any of the
chambers was open. I'VE haven't had
| the windows open any more than we
could possibly help this summer" she
explained. ''You know that let's in the
dust, and this white woodwork soils so
easily
1t is a good thing to have beautiful
possessions but it is not a good thing to
be possessed by them.
Perhaps you think I have been telling
of an exaggerated case. An extreme
case, grant you, but not an exaggerated
one, for every word is true.
Houses are meant for homes, not fe-
tiches. They are meant to live in, not to
be enslaved by. Few women make such
slaves of themselves as this one, but
many in greater or less degree put the
home above those who live in it.
Do you?

HODGES IS MAKING
 SOME INVESTIGATIONS
RELATIVE TO PILFERING OF LAW BOOKS BY LITTLE
 ROCK ATTORNEY.

Little Rock, Nov. PA mild sensa- tion has been created here by the dis covery that prominent young attor- ney has been pilfering law books from the state library in the old state house and selling them. It is said that as much as $l ,000 worth have been cart ed away by him in a whecI barrow His identity is known, and he is be- ing forced to return the books. The authorities are not disposed to prose cute him because of the fact that he has wife and young child and has come from a good family.
 The lawyer confessed when con fronted by the facts, and admitted that he had sold to a St. Louis firm, principally, which has returned them. There is a possibility that the matter may be taken up by the grand jury. Secretary Hodges says there are probably other book thieves in the city that may be shown up, as he is mak ing some investigations.

10 DEPEND LESS
 ON COTTON CROP
DIYERSIFICATION BETTER
ONE OF THE CONDITIONS OB- SERVED BY COMMISSIONER
 JOHN H. PAGE.

Little Rock, Nov. 22.-There is a very decided tendency among the pro gressiVe Arkansas farmers to depend less upon cotton as a money making crop, and to give more attention to di- versification. This is one of the condi- tions observed by Commissioner Page, who spent several days at the state fair. He says, in part:
 Arkansas is d cotton state, and ranks pretty well as such, yielding from seven to fne hundred thousand bales annually. Yet, among all of the agricultural exhibits at the fair, from more than%s counties, cotton seemed to receive Tess attention than corn. This is significant. IL shows the trend .of public thought among the leading men in agriculture in Arkansas. It does not mean that cotton is being abandoned for corn, but it does signify that the leading farmers are recogniz- ing the importance of raising their own corn instead of buying it abroad
 "The agricultural exhibits at the state farm were truly representative of diversified farming. There were specimens of corn, wheat, rice. cotton, tobacco, oats. broom corn, kaffir corn, mlla-maize, peas, peanuts, potatoes, sorghum, pumpkins, popcorn, onions, hay of all kinds, fruits, etc The list would make a long one, and each spe- .cimen was an evidence of a commercial possibility in whatever section it was produced
 The fact that cotton did not take so much prominence among the eNhib- its does not mean that less cotton will be raised, but it does mean that there are good many farmers who are go- ing to depend upon cotton as a surplus crop and not as the main crop. This .will mean greater diversfication of crops, the enrichment of the soil, the raising of more stock. and finally. greater prosperity for all our people. Incidentally, it will mean increased land values.'

NORMAL HENDRIX
 ON THANKSGIVING
FOURTH ANNUAL GAME
TEAMS MORE EVENLY MATCH ED THAN EVER BEFORE
 STRUGGLE ANTICIPATED

Arrangements are under headway for the fourth annual game of foot ball between the Normal and Hendrix elevens, to be played on Hendrix field Thanksgiving Day. As there will be no game in Little Rock on turkey day. it is thought large crowd will witness the game. All business houses will be closed and the business men will have chance to see the game As all the games played here this sea- son have been played on Saturday. they have not had an opportunity of seeing a football game this year. and t k believed that all lovers of the sport will witness this game. The Normal has the best team in it's history this year. They have a perfect record, three games played and three games won. It is very prob able that the Normal will furnish some material for the all-Arkansas team this year, as they have some of the best football men in the state on the team
 In Brooks, the Normal has one of the best centers in Arkansas. He was few days late in starting, but got in the first game and has made an envia- ble record for himself. He has starred in every game the Normal played this year Two of Normal's victories are largely due to his work. He has a way of getting through the oppon- ents' line and getting the man before he makes any gain. This is Brooks third year with the Normal
 Browning, at end, is also star. He is fast and hits hard. He Is especially good in receiving forward passes, and never fails to kick a goal after q touchdown is made He is playing the third year on the team.
 The Normal has quartet of back field men in Webb, Davis, Covington and Stubbs, that any team in the state would be proud to possess. They are all fast, nervY, strong, and hit hard when necessary. They are expected to put up a game fight for the turkey day game.
 The Hendrix team while not in as good condition as it was before the Ouachita game, is still able to put up good fight, and they will give the Normaites the best that $ in them on Thanksgiving Day.
 Hendrix has won every game play ed between these institutions hereto fore, but this year the teams are more evenly matched and the Normal team is confident that the tables will be turned Thanksgiving.
 Both teams are practicing hard and will be in the best shape possible when they clash next Thursday.
