Fancy Vets In Favor.

A number Of the smartest suits nov
being made up show fancy vests, says
the Dry Goods Economist. These are
occasionally made separately, so that
the suit can be worn with or without
them, but the majority are attached
to the coat, and 1t is expected that the
latter style will be made popular than
the separate vests. These vests are
made of satin. broadcloth,7 velvet

Out There in Kansas" is found on.
the first page.
Out where the handclasp's a little
stronger,
Out where a smile dwells. a little
longer,
That's where the West begins.
Out where the sun is a little brighter
Where the SHOWS that fall are trifle

Where the bonds of home are a wee
bit tighter,
That's where the West begins.
Out where the skies are a trifle blue
Out where friendships little truer,
That's where the West begins,
Out where a fresh breeze is blowing,
Where there's laughter in every
streamlet flowing,
Where there's more of reaping and
o. less Of sowing
That's where the West begins,
Out where world is in the making,
Where fewer hearts with despair are

That's where the West begins.
Where there's more Of singing ant

Where there's more Of giving and les

And a man makes friends withou

PANlERs AN EARLY FANCY
Cannot Be Said to Have Achieved
Much Success Despite Its Partisan
Origin and Backing.

Numberless are the robes de
style" just now being shown in all the
big dressmaking houses, says the Paris
correspondent Of Dress, and various
are the forms they take. Of course
the panier dress is one Of them, copied
exactly from old documents. But one
never knows whether early models
will be success until La Parisienne
has pronounced her opinion of them.
Thus it is pretty safe to predict, in
stead Of the panier dress, a return or
a partial return to the directoire style.
The high 'directoire collar and fancy
vest are already seen at fashionable
assemblies, worn with the cutaway
habit coat and vide cuffs Of the
period. the directoire hat is worn with
this costume, but the directoire hat
is not new to US, for We have had 1t
with US all the winter.

Tinted Walls.

1t is far cheaper to tint walls with
water or "size colors" than 1t is to
paint them with oils. Moreover, the
colors are lovely and the finish soft.
The only difficulty lies in the fact that
tinted walls cannot be washed. Size
or fresco colors should never be
touched with water. They may be
cleaned with bread crumbs, or Indian
meal, but the process Is tedious one.
Dry pigments are used for this tinting.
They are generally mixed in glue size
that has been dissolved in hot water.
They cost about fifty-fve cents pack
age and one package will cover about
forty square yards.-Harper's Bazaar.

EFFECT OF THE ELECTION ON

The buoyant tone of the stock mar

the change in control of the govern

affect others, rural letter carriers
have no cause for apprehension. Man!

been Democrats and with a Democrat

EVENING CHAT.
BY Ruth Cameron.

Yes, that was one Of the greatest
mistakes in my life." l heard a man,
say the other day. Il cant get over
my having been such fool. Why, 1
often lie awake nights thinking of it
and kicking myself"
The man who lies awake nights
thinking Of his mistakes is certainly
not the man who will get up in the
morning alert and wide awake. But
that is not what | started out to say.
1t was the other mans answer that /
wanted to bring out.
Said he: you'll never get any,
where that way. If you want to lie
awake nights and think about some
thing, think about the mistakes you
may be making right now"
I think that's a mighty suggestive
sentence.
We all make mistakes from time to
time, and as soon as we get enough
of perspective to realize that they
are mistakes and to be willing to ae-
knowledge them, we begin to bewail
them. IF l had only done this or
that" we mourn, chow much better
off I'd be today"
What an absurd waste Of energy!
How much more intelligently we can
use our time in thinking, "What is
there that l ought to be doing to-
day to make myself better off TO-
morrow"
When you are inclined to think of
yesterdays mistakes, try It. Say to
yourself, 81 didn't have any idea !
was making a mistake when | was
making it, Now wonder if there is
anything in my present life that l an
being just as blind about?"
Try to get a perspective on your
life; try to see it as you would look
back on it in ten years.
Of course, you won't be entirely
successful. but if you try honestly
You may be able to lift a corner Of
the veil and get little idea of your
present mistakes and unappreciated
opportunities.
"0nce to every man and nation
comes the moment to decide" is
misleading sentiment. The momen
to decide comes to every one of US
times without number. We neyel
stop making important decisions unit
we, stop breathing.
So don't waste any time or energy
in fretting over past mistakes ant
lost opportunities. When you flint
your mind turning that way, take i
l"by the ascruff of the neck'' and turn
it toward your present life. The mo
ment you catch yourself thinking o
past mistakes, let that, be a sigma
to you to ask yourself these ques
ltions:
Am l making any great mistak
now?"
Am l losing any valuable oppOrtu
ity now?'
Am I doing or failing to do an!
thing now that l shall regret in fiy
yearsr
And by the time you have answer
) these questions about the vital pre-
lent you will probably have forgOtte
I the dead past.

POLE AND GERMAN MIX WELL
BY w. j. LAUCk.

One OF the most interesting agri-
cultural settlements esta blished in
Missouri by recent immigrants to the
United States is located in the north
central part of Washington county,
and is known as Glover Bottom. Ger
mans and Poles are the two races
which predominant in tho locality.
Although the Poles entered the local
ity first, the Germans outnumber them
at the present time.
In the early mites a few colonies
of Polish settlers were to be found
in Illinois and Texas. but the absence
of any established place of worship
caused many Of these people to he
come restless and anxious to move
to some point where a church was
already founded. The Germans had
founded colonies along the Missouri
River as early as 1888, but they did
not come TO the vicinity of Glover
Bottom till the early sixties.
Small Beginning.
In 1859 four Polish families moved
from Pike county. Illinois, and trav-
eled southwark until they reached
this locality. The same year three
families arrived from Texas. AT that
time the land was covered with woods
and brush, with a very small percen-
Ttage cleared. The land was all held
by a single individual. Six dollars an
acre was charged. and as the immi-
grants came with little ready cash
tho owner sold them any number OF
acres that they wished for small
cash payment and the rest on time
at a low rate of interest
The next year eight families came
from Texas. and inne' families from
coura ging word from their relatives
that came the year before. There are
now thirtysiN Polish families In the
settlement. numbering 200 people. The
children of the original settlers have

VIRGINIA COTTON
SHOWS UP GREAT
Smallest Acreage, but Next to
Best Yield Among the
Southern States.

The Bureau OF Statistics. United
States Department of Agriculture, has
made revision OF its preliminary es-
innate of the area planted to cotton
last year. based on the results of a
special investigation. and the report
quantity OF cotton ginned last season.
The revision indicates that the area
planted to cotton in 1911 was about &c.
6S1. 900 acres. of which Virginia planted
$4,000 acres. naturally the smallest cot
ton acreage of any Southern state. The
bureau in this report gives the acreage
and the yields per acre by states. and
the. remarkable fact comes out that
Vii ginia shows better yield per acre
than any Southern State except Mis-
souri,, If that may be counted as a
Southern State. The Virginia yield was
$40 pounds OF Einned cotton to the
acre. while that of Missouri, the leader,
was $50 pounds per acre. North Caro-
lima was close behind Virginia with an
average OF 3i5 pounds per acre, while
the others varied from $50 pounds down
10 1870, Florida being at the foct OF
the list
All this means that the few counties
Kin Virginia that do grow cotton grow
the best and more of 1t TO the acre.
This should be encouraging TO the
counties OF Mecklenburg. Charlotte,
Brunswick and some otnsrs that are
charging their cotton acreage, and
also to the vigorous town of Chase City,
which is budding out as cotton mar
ket and cotton ginning town.

The cronkcr who croaIss.


\ Charlottesville "croaker" sends me
n clipping from an unnamed newspaper
which read follows:
The Census Bureau has an interest
inE report on the apple growing In
dustry in the United States in 1910.
The surprising fact is brought out that
the number OF apple trees of bearing
age in that year was I51.323.0OO as
against 2O1.I94.000 in 1900, a decrease
o. rather more than onethird in ten
years. OF an average less of 5000, 600
trees Il year.
One would naturally inquire whe-
Their section or territory has anything
to do with the decrease. In this part
of the country we feel that the indus
try is increasing. Strange to say, all
groups of States show a decline. An
other surprising fact is that Missouri,
New York and Illinois contain one
fourth of all the applc-hearinG trees
in the country. Bradstrect's says:
"Thc one really rtdeemIns feature In
