CEIILDREN'S HATS OF THE
SEASON ARE PICTURESQUE
Mushroom Shape Always in Evidence-Lace
Bonnets for the Baby = Gauze
Straw in New Shapes-Ideas
for Girls of Ten Years.

Children's hats have become increas-
ingly picturesque during the last few sea-
sons. and yet. thanks to improved taste
in matters pertaining to youthful dress.
these hats have increased in childishness
as well as In picturesqueness. One sees
very few overturned abeurdities In chill
drens millinery, and a majority Of the lit
tie bonnet and hat models are quantity
simple, even when their daintiness IL OF
a very expensive variety.
The mushroom shape is, OF course, al
ways in evidence In childish millinery.
No shape was ever more babyish or more

crown. A band OF velvet ribbon encircles
the crown, and is finished at the side
with a rOsette and loops.
Another is much on the order OF the
coal-scuttle shape, designed for auto
mobile wear for women. The hat is
trimmed with velvet ribbon and small
red roses and buds. There is fiat
bow OF the velvet ribbon at the back.
One hat was much on the order Of
the helmet shape, with dropping side
brtms. The crown was enctrcled by
pale blue liberty ribbon and was An
ished at the side with a large rosette
OF the ribbon. There were small pink
roses placed at intervals from be-

ornamented by a round fiat cluster of
pink roses.
An attractive hat for a girl of eight
or ten had a wide rolled brim. The
crown was round and was trimmed
with a wreath of small roses Another
was for a girl of about the same age
and was on the poke bonnet order
There was wide velvet ribbon around
the crown, tied in a large bow at the
front. There was also a small cluster
Of flowers placed at the front Of the
hat, just above the velvet bow.
The large, slightly fulled crown was
of soft straw.
One delightful model had a crown
formed of dull finished white braid
loosely plated or interviewer, and
around the face was a fringed ruche
of soft white chiffon taffeta. Tiny
pink rosebuds were set along the clus-

Flowers for Hats.

All sorts of flowers appear on the
new hats for southern wear and the
spring, just as all sorts are worn In
the corsage bouquets-from orchids
down to phlox. Lilac is favored in
white and in color. and it gives very
springlike appearance to the simplest
hat. One that is faced with black vel
vet has tinted lilacs massed all over
the crown.

OUR ATTITUDE TOWARD CUBA.

The correspondence yesterday be-
tween the president of the United
States and cuba pretty clearly defines
the reason for assembling Il number
of war vessels in Cuban waters. and
infcrentially the rcason for Dispatch
Ing a respectable force Of marines to
the island. Neither portcnds inter-
Ncntion only in the event that the
Cuban government fails To restore
order. The primary purpose OF tn"
expedition being to protect .Amcrl-
cans and their interests from threat
eneG danger. even the occupation on
posting of the points involved would
not constitute intervention. y much
larger force than is now deemed nee
essarN or in contemplation would be
required to Restore order sllould that
task deNolve upon this government.
The Cuban authorities will be given
ample opportunity To prove their
profcsscd ability to put down the in
surrection, failing which the attitude
of Washington leaves no room for
doubt as to what quickly would fol-
low.
Perhaps the most disturbing of yes
terday's Developments was the story
that president Gomez had secretly
fostercd the insurrection with a view
to insurins his retention in power
through intervention. However. this
version lacks novelty. Similar state

age of the United States was 2O.2

1909, the average yield of these same

United States the average was 24.S

Investigation has been made into
the cause which have enabled Ger
many, on lands cultivated for hum
dreds of years. to increase it's agricul-
tural output at Il rate nearly four
times as great as that of the United
States. Experts who have studied the
question are agreed that the remarll-
able Improvement in European agri-
culture is VI to the adoption of new
methods of crop rotation, in which
the beet is grown on each field
II year in four in rotation with &C.
real crops or legumcs.
Evidently the American farmer has
something to learn from his Europe

bushels grow where one grew before.

WHY LIVING is COSTLY.

A partial explanation of the recent
rapid advance in the cos, ut living in
the United States is provided by in
formation Just complied by the hu-
rcau of statistics as to the yield of
the %country's important 1000 crops
during the past year. These figures
show that in the production OF every
important item in the vast GOO sup.
ply required by the American people
the average yield per acre in 1911
WAS less than for many years prcced-
ing.
In the case of corn. the most inn
portant of the great cereal crops. tho
total yield in 1911 was a little more
than $500. 600. 600 bushels. or onlv
slightly below the average crop for
the past ten years. and the value to
tho farmer of every bushel of corn in
his crib on December ] last averaged
higher than at any previous period.
But to produce this corr required a
larger area than was ever before
planted to his crop. he average
yield of ali the acres planted 10 corn
throughout tho country was only
23.9 bushels. or less than that for
any year since 1907. The average
yield. of wheat in 1911 was 1875 BUSH
els per acre. or less than in any wear
since 1900, with the single exception
of 1904. when this same low level
was reached.
AS throwing some light on the
soaring price of beefstcak. which is
making consumers gasp. it is pointed
out that the number of beef cattle

was less than at any similar time
since 1900. In fact. the production
of live toe has been falling off, in
comparison to the general agriculture

eral years. Recently published CEN

age approximately reached, some
means must be found OF increasing
the average yield OF the acres now
under cultivation. unless the United|
States is to experience a paralyzingl

nations for its food supply.
While the increase in the yield per
acre of American crops has been very
slight in the past twenty-five years.
the soils of European countries, that
have been titled for centuries, have
shown a very much greater gain in
productivity within the same period.

You hear Of a lot Of things in the
interest of HI people which don't

1t is strange how many men yor-
ried through boyhood without the aid
of the Boy Scout movement.
We still believe the average girls

white shoes for magnifying imposes.
Doubtless there are in those land OF
leisure, some persons with time
enough to read circular letters.
Clarion Notes are the cheapest sort
OF patriotism. granting that they auali-
fy at all.
Excepting the preachers. the man
who argues religion is likely to be
pretty young or quite old.
Probably the most contrary person
is the woman who won't get a divorce

Why should a man commit bigamy
