OSCAR X. LYLE SAYS He CANNOT
. FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH
S.5 ,j5y WITH THE CROPS.
WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE IDEAL
FIELDS ARE GREEN AND EVERY
THING INDICATES MAMMOTH
YIELD IN THIS STATE. s.E; S3

! MINOT,sN. D., July 12.-That crop
conditions lin North Dakota are ideal
and that 1917 IS,ds fair 70 be one of
the biggest crop years in the history
Of the state is the opinion Of Oscar Il.
Lyle, crop representative Of s. B..
Chapin & Co, Of Chicago and New
sYork, who arrived ins,the; city Monday.
'If there is . section ii North D;aa-.,
kota that has not had good rains
since July i, / have not found it." said
Mr.. Lyle today. The best that can
be said Of any crop is that there is
nothing the matter with 1t. This is
the situation in North Dakota today.
There is a noticeable lack Of complaint
among the farmers. There is an abund-
ance Of moisture. The weather is
ideal. The stand is good, and every
thing points to q big yield.
From Valley City to Minot, there
Ills very little wheat that is headed out.
But this is not a bad condition, for
there is plenty of moisture and the
weather is very favorable. OF course,
many things can happen to hurt the
crop. Wheat is never safe until it is
| In the barn, but I am speaking Of con.
ditions as they exist today and we
might as well bet in favor Of nature
giving us good conditions in the nature
as taat the conditions are going to be
mad. ss 4; ~
In fact, the crop condition all over
the country is excellent. There is
going to be q mammoth potato crop.
The only flaw is in the winter wheat
crop This has been damaged some,
! and the peculiar thing is that snow,
which Is supposed to help winter
wheat, has done much Of the damage.
lespecially il Ohio. There was SO much
snow that a crust was formed, keeping
out the air and smothering the plant. Z Z

A NEW SCARF

Three board bands of heavy lace.
one of fine net and one of colored
chiffon, make up the smartest looking.
long, fiat scarf which has been
brought out in a long time. The chif-
fon band, which is the widest of the
collection, is finished about the edges
with hemstitching and yelled, as far
as the stitching, with band of fine
net, through the center of which is
run a six-inch band of heavy lace.
The effect is at once soft and rich, as
the lace and the net sufficiently tone
down the coloring of the chiffon foun-
dation. The scarf is charming when
made up in white lace and black net
with pomegrarate, bright green,
Dutch blue or orange chiffon, and for
a middle-aged woman it is lovely in
shades of gray or taupe. If needed
solely for evenings. the broad bands
of lace might be of silver or gold and
the other materials white or black,
but this scarf design is not pretty
when mounted on any material thick
er thar chiffon

There is something unquestionably
fascinating about candlelight Its
soft mellow glow diffuses just enough
brightness to hide the crude points
and accentuate the artistic.
An undeffnable charm permeates a
room lighted by candles.
During colonial days, when they
we're the only means of lighting, our
ancestors experienced little discom-
fort in doing everything by candle
light.
There was sweet dignity possess
ed by the ladies Of that period; be-
meath the golden radiance Of the tall
low candle that became stately.
An atmosphere of genial hospitality
and friendliness is established at a
dinner party enjoyed by the light of
candles.
When the guests assemble in the
living-room lighted only by softly
shaded candles, a feeling of contented
peacefulness and harmony places ev-
cry one at ease. A song sung by cam
delight has beauty entirely its own.
One can not quite forget it. The MEM
ory fingers until the end of time.
In the bedchamber candles add a
touch of daintiness and beauty which
is always desirable. Attractive
shades for candles can be made cas-
lily. Any one who uses water-colors
and draws fairly we'll will experience
little difficulty.
A pair of candlesticks on either side
of the piano gives decided touch Of
the artistic to the mushroom. A flow
er design is pretty and most effective.
The dainty rose-shade is appr0pri-
ate for the drawing-room. Paint the
roses any of the pastel colors, and the
latticewerk may be lined with gold.
Narrow gold fringe daintily finishes
the bottom of the shade.
For the guestroom nothing could be
in better taste than daisy design.
Personal taste as to coloring may be
consulted The candleshade should
match the design of the draperies and
upholstery.
Forget-me-nots effectively arranged
make lovely shade for the young
girls room, to be used as a desk light.

1'Votes for Women" Cause Can
Be Attained Only by Sim
cere Work

The fact that woman suffrage has
been overlooked by both the Republic
can and Democratic parties In select
ing planks for their platform is not
taken very seriously by the women OF
California, who are inclined TO think
either that the time is not ripe for
such distinguished recognition or that
the respective parties are the losers.
And the disappointment OF the women
o. the East especially those who
marched in the Baltimore suffrage
parade Immediately preceding the
Democratic convention, without at
tracting its attention, does not appear
10 be shared by the womens of the
West, though the reason Is assumed
TO be due not so much To the superior
philosophy as to the fact that the
West did not have its feelings hurt by
81 ch lack Of ga1Iantry.
Mrs. J. w Orr. president Of the
State Federation OF Women's Clubs,
said that she had formed TO opinion

HONOLULU GIRLS HAVE NOVEL
IDEAS FOR Bridal showers

Although most of the engaged girls
of the season have become brides
there are still several who in the
early fall will go to the mainland to
be married. The kitchen and the
china showers have been used so
much that one really hesitates before
giving one, and IL the bride-to-be Is
TO travel before her wedding. kitchen
utensils are rather awkward TO pack.
The other day one OF the Honolulu
girls gave a delightfully."- novel boudoir
shower for friend and group of
