The SEASONS RIBBONS.

Have you noticed the variety and
the beauty of the ribbons displayed
even at this season of the year at the
ribbon counter? So handsome and
unusual are they that it is not sur
prising that the designers have made
various uses OF them. Just at pres
ent the picot edge ribbons are the
newest and are favorite trimming
for the summer hat. In addition to
the taffeta faille, moire and mar
quisette ribbons, there are some love-
ly ones showing antique designs with
brocade and flower patterns. These
are used as border to the frocks OF
crepon. Then there are the brocaded
ribbons with the design picked out in
silver or gold threads, the irregularly
striped Peking ribbons, the handsome
metallic ribbons and those with en-
broidered and open work designs.
To tie the feather boas which are
so universally worn in Paris there are
bows of ribbons with long ends, often
falling below the waist line. More
youthful in appearance are the ruHs
made of gathered or pleated ribbon.
Scarfs are often made with borders
of ribbons or a series Of graded rib
bons, the widest being at the edge.
A stunning scarf Of pink and white
mousseline de sole bands was joined
with white faille ribbon on which
design Of pink roses had been out
lined as artistically as if washed in
with the brush of an artist.
For ruchings, shirrings and quill
Iings for gowns and hats and coats,
and even parasols, ribbon is very
much easier and more convenient to
Use than taffeta by the piece.

MILEAGE OF IMPROVED ROADS
Indiana Leads All States Of Union,
With Ohio Close Second-Mostly
Composed of Gravel.

According to information just made
public by the director of the office of
public roads, Indiana leads all the
states of the Union in mileage Of i'm
proved roads. Most of the improved
roads of Indiana and Ohio are COM
posed of gravel and were, for the
most part, built by the farmers In
working out taxes. In many cases
the gravel Is dumped on the road
without proper spreading or rolling.
Roads constructed in this way seldom
give entire satisfaction
The eight leading good roads states,
as shown by the data compiled by the
director, are as follows:

Fencing has reached the point in
price where 1t does not pay to erect
anything that is not Of the very best
of construction. Do not buy anything
but the best posts and then treat them
with some preseryative. Smooth wire
fences seldom last long and are not
very effective. Barb wires are dam
gerous. The best combination is the
woven wire fence with barb on top.
This does no damage to the stock and
at the same time teaches them to
kesp at safe distance and thereby
prevents the fence from being broken
down to any extent.

Guinea as a Forauer.

The guinea fowl is a great forager
and destroys many insects that the
hens will not touch. They do not
scratch the garden and, though not
easily kept near the house, they make
known the places where they lay by
a peculiar noise, which enables one
accustomed to them to find all the
eggs they lay, They really cost almost
nothing to raise, and when roosting
near the house create an alarm should
intruders make their appearance.

HONEY.
Presented With a Handsome Gold
headed Umbrella.

During the closing hour of the con-
vention of the Benevolent Knights of
America, held in this city on Jan. "a,
1912, at which NJ. S. Mahoney was
elected grand counsellor, a rising vote
of thanks was given him on behalf OF
the association and a resolution una.
nimously adopted Authorizing the
Grand Lodge to purchase and present
to him a suitable token as a testimo.
NAL of the appreciation of the asso-
citation of his faithful and valuable
services during the past year.
Pursuant to this resolution a special
meeting of the Grand Lodge, B. X. OF
A., was held at its rooms in the Hiber,
MIA Bank building Wednesday night.
at which Mr.. Mahoney was presented
with a beautiful gold-headed umbrella,
in an eloquent address by Bro. Rudolph
Petrie.
Mr.. Mahoney, while not altogether
surprised, in accepting the gift. ex.
pressed himself as being highly pleas
ed with the gift, not so much for its
intrinsic value as for the kind words
and sentiments which accompanied it,
and the fact that it represents the con.
fidence and good wishes of over two
thousand members of the order, resid-
ing mostly in this city.
Mr.. Mahoney has been an active
member of the order for a number OF
years, joining Ivy Leaf Lodge, of AL.
giers, while the association was under
the Mississippi jurisdiction. Since its
severance from the Mississippi juris.
dction the order was chartered under
the laws of Louisiana, with its legal
domicile in this city. 1t is growing
rapidly in finances and numbers. and
the quality of it's officers and mem
bers compare most favorably with
those of the best fraternal insurance
organizations in the country.

Short Time Given to Changing Party
AffiIiation or Residences.

Until March 16 the registration of
fee will remain open for all purposes
including changing of party affiliation
changes of residence and new regis
trations. The Office opened Tuesday
The law requires that it close thirty

the time to do so. The law requires
that any change of party affiliation
must be made six months before an
election and after March 16 the Office
will be closed and it will then be toe
late to do so.
