Kinkaid Has Measure
to Aid HOmesteaders
lFrom > Sad Correspondent.l }


WASHINGTON, Jan. I7.-tspecial Tele-
gram m.)-RepresentatI Klnkaid this fore
noon appeared before Assistant Secretary
Adams of the Interior department and
made an argument that the order Of
August disallowing constructive resi-
dence OF homesteaders for six months
following entry should not be permitted
to apply TO any entries made previous to
the date Of the order.
Mr.. Klnkaid holds that the order should
not be retroactive. He further holds that
as the law for some fifty years had been
construed by the department to give the
homesteaders the benefit Of the construc-
tive residence for the first six months
the department could well take care Of
those who had made homestead entry
prior to the order Of August T.
Mr.. Kinkaid believes that the depart
ment will remedy this matter without
congressional action. However. Judge
Kinkaid has introduced a bin to give
homesteaders the constructive benefit and
the bill hes the approval Of Secretary
Fisher.

LINCOLN, Jan. iI.-Cspecial. )-Not
only Secretary Walt. but many other peo-
pie are worrying about a new problem
which has come up In connection with
the primary ballot The Law provides
for rotating names on the ballot and also
or party designation. but In the case
OF delegates 90 national conventions. for
Instance where there will be Undoubtedly
two sets OF both republicans and demo-
cratic candidates. how are the various
brands TO be designated. II at all. 80 that
vottrs can tell what they are really
voting for.
With the large number OF names on
the ballot II Is going TO be difficult. even
for men who keep posted on politics to
remember just who represents each Of the
presidential candidates, and with the
great mass OF goters II will be an I'm
possibility. ~
! Il hes been suggested that the dsmo.
cratic delegates should be designated.
not only "a democrats but IN addition as
Harmon or Wilson as the case may be,
and the republicans Taft and La Fol-
lette This would Indicate TO voters not
only the party. but the particular brand
Of each party designated which the cam
dldate represented.
The law does not provide for any
such contingency. neither can the wise
ones around the state house find any
thing In the statute which would pro-
hibit such designation. Unless there
should be some valid objection raised
TO this procedure. Il probably will be
adopted. on the theory that the object
Of he jballo and he designations provided
for specifically in he law are designed
to aid the voter In his choice and that
the additional designation would be along
the same line.
Unless this or some similar plan Is
followed. II is certain that with the large
number Of names. all alphabetically ar
ranged and then rotated. there will be
the finest mixup ever seen on q ballot
in this country. So far as heard from no
objection has beer raised 10 the plan

Keeping the House Clean.

housekeeping used to be "bugaboo"
word to the men of the household. Inva-
riably. when the semi annual upheaval ar
rived, they betook themselves to their
places Of business and were detained"
until the chaos settled back into some
sort Of order.
That was in the days when carpets were
the only floor coverings and houses were
heated by stoves and CRATES Quite proper
was it for the housewife to jerk out the
tacks and take up the dust-flled carpets
for a good beating each fall or spring, or
both, If she were of the really particular
class
Today we no longer make our families
uncomfortable, if not entirely miserable.
The time has come when hardwood floors
and rugs, with furnace or steam heat, are
the rule now rather than the exception,
and while there are some housewives who
continue to do things just as their fore
mothers did, large majority Keep pace
with the times. The modern method is to
keep the house clean all the ttme so that
the annual and semi-annual tearup Is not
necessary.
BY keeping all the rooms orderly, sweep
ing once each week and busting twice as
often. any home can be kept in a perfect
ily clean and sanitary condition-that Is,
providing the work Is done thoroughly,
every niche and corner being touched in
the process. Closets and dresser and
cupboard drawers should be kept in order
all the year around.

Latest American Fashions

ways been counted upon to add refining
note to q costume, however otherwise per
feet 1t may have been without it.
The gown sketched by the artist fol
today demonstrates an effective use Of
simple pattern traced with a single
thread Of gold. The frock itself Is Of pale
rose marquisette made over a foundation
of deep rose satin. The tunic hung with
a few gathers from q round waist line is
slashed part way down the side to dis
close the satin underdress.
The bodice, slashed likewise to show
the satin, and embroidered in the same
delicate manner with the gold thread, lie
further decorated, as Is the tunic, with
made OF the deep rose chiffon, shirred
over pasteboard. These shirrings, which
are introduced in many forms and on
many different types of gowns. never fail
to invest them with q note of Quaintness
that is interesting just now when every
ton. and much. very much. can be done
with them.
The scroll as employed in the model
of the sketch would be most unsuccess-
bold and conspicuous instead of being
extremely delicate, as it is. and In other
ways 1t will be found necessary to treat
these shirrings with infinite skill. The
bands are not so troublesome. they
are applied to the lower edge Of an
apron tunic, with or without q fringe;
are made into borders or run along SER
pentine lines, their own edges finished
with a single or double cording or with
ruching of bebe ribbon.
Lace and net. are employed in similar
ways with good effect. the cording then
being either of the same or Of a col
ored satin, while still another banding
has a velvet or silk ribbon inclosed by
narrow insertions of lace.
BowknOts. scrolls and q variety OF
other motifs as well as border designs
wrought in lace insertion will figure ex-
tensively on the new lingerie gowns and
even on the dainty lightweight silks
that are going to be 50 much in favor
For the purpose there are insertions
and they come in several laces-which
have a drawstring along either edge.
Ruchings. too, are popular again. One
sees them even as foot trimmings, just as
they were used years ago, but because
skirts are SO much narrower than they
were then the general effect is different.
The ruchings are very scant and either
gathered or plated. so that they add
nothing appreciate to the apparent
width Of the skirt which they adorn.
They are all made to lie quite nat,
sometimes light pressing being re-
quired, all Of which is another point to
prove that 1t Is still necessary to retain
something Of a trig outline. however
conspicuously frills and rufhes may fig-
ure.

NEWEST IDEAS IN
MARKING LINEN

Fashions in marking linen change to
some degree every season, 80 that letters
from q half inch to four or I've inches
long are permissible. A safe rule for the
conservative needlewoman to follow -:
For tablecloths. letters two inches long.
For napkins, letters three-qusrters Of
an inch long.
Sheets, two inches long.
Other articles are marked according to
the state Of the embroiderer. But the
best method Of marking linen is . prob
lem which presents itself very often.
There are many ways to choose besides
the plain embroidered initial stamped
either In script or block type. Perhaps
the most attractive method Of working
large initials u to enbroider the letters
over fine net. cutting away the linen
underneath, so that when finished II will
give transparent effect that is unusual
and beautiful.
The work ID not dificult and can be
done rapidly by one who has any expe-
rieuce In needlecraft
