They Only Are Fantastic Who Are
Not i'm Fashion.

Good clothes make women happy
land men, too, for that matter.
They ''only are fantastic who are
not in fashion"
But no sensible woman wants to
"fuss" over clothes all the time. She
wants to take up the subject at in
tervals and settle it.
Neither is any sensible woman at
tracted by the excesses and follies
of fashion. She wants a reasonable
adaptation of the latest fashions to
her needs, SO that she will be in
style but not conspicuous. --

Companion is an advance autumn

esting "clothes intelligence"-col-
lected from every quarter of the
globe, and presented at the moment
when it is needed incthe home.

Stripping Fodder.

The Commoner: Stripping leaves
from the corn stalks as commonly
practiced is not regarded as profit
able by agricultural experts. In
work done at the Missouri expert
ment station for a number of years,
stripping the leaves from the corn
caused an average decrease of more
than Is per cent in the yield of corn.
The decrease in the yield of corn
made the fodder cost about $15 per
1000 bundles besides the labor OF
pulling. Good fodder can usually be
obtained for about $40 per 1000 bun
dies The earlier the pulling of the
fodder is done the greater the de-
crease in the yield of corn. If the
pulling of the fodder is delayed 80
late as not to injure the grain yield.
the fodder is practically worthless.
The much better plan is to grow
hays, especially leguminous hays,
for you can save more hay in one
day with the mower and rake than
you can save in two weeks by pull
ing fodder.

The Gentle Rain.

Logansport Ia.) Interstate News:
A short time since the COW was ad,
she scarce could raise her head, be
dad. Her hoofs were sore, her tail
was limp, her name and bangs had
lost their crimp, and miles she
trudged from grass to drink with
scarcely strength enough to wink.
The owner too looked blue and
glum, and cursed the cattle business
some; but since the rain the grass
is tall, the COW can raise her head
and bawl; her hide is slick, no bones
protrude, she dances like a cornfed
dude. Her owner, too, digs up the
chink, and asks the boys to take a
drink God bless the rain. the gen
tie rain, it makes a man feel young
again. He feels like tossing up his
hat and hollering like a Democrat.

Debate on the Suuar Schedule.

The States Washington special
says that the debate on free sugar
has begun in the Senate. It may be
concluded in a day, it may continue
for week; one thing is certain, the
provision will not be materially
changed.
Despite the opposition Of Senators
Ransdell and Thorn, the two Louis
ianians, the Democrats are confident
of sufficient strength to put the leg
islation through, though it will be
by the narrow margin Of possibly
one or two votes.
Even should free sugar be killed
in the Senate-which is an extreme
action would still re-
quire approval by a conference Of
the House and Senate tariff leaders.
This approval, to one who knows
anything about conditions, is abso-
lufaly impossible. However, the
fight of the Louisiana senator's will
be kept up until the end.

The Passing of the Woody West.

New Orleans States: That the wild
and wooly West of the old days Is
now little more than a memory IS
shown in the story from Jack Pot,
Wyoming, where an unsympathetc
mayor and an unfeellng sheriff
closed the Poison Spider bar, dance
hall and gambling house, contscated
the spider juice, smashed the gam
bling paraphernaia and put a guard
in charge
The story of the Poison Spider bar
in the town of Jack Pot reads like
the records of the past, when the
West was newer, BARRIERS scarce and
men wore long hair. Then the name
of the town and the designation OF
the bar would have been a great
combination, but not now. All over
the West the change has come9When
the people have driven out laWless
characters and established law and
order.
The bad man with couple of six
shooters is seen no more IN the
West, and exists only in fiction ard
the moving pictures. It is safe to say
that the people Of Jack Pot are as
proud of the fact that the wild and
woolly West has been shorn as are
the people of other sections, to
whom the traits of wildness and
wooliness appeared repulsive rather
than romantic.

New Orleans States August lS: Be
cause her husband hasn't been home
for a week, Mrs. Charles Skelly, wife
Of a saloon man, played the Carrie
Nation act at his place Of business,
Burgundy near Canal street, Monday
afternoon.
Instead of Carries little hatchet
Mrs Skelly used two heavy tum-
blers. She let both of them fly at the
big plate mirror which reflects the
smiles Of Skelly's customers.
The crash Of the glass and the
slight Of the desperate woman as
she rushed into and out Of the sa-
loon created great excitement.
II want Skelly," screamed the
woman as she entered the barroom
Drinkers who were lined up at The
bar scattered, and the bartenders
scampered for shelter.

shricked, and two heavy glasses
flashed through the air. The ain
was good. Each glass landed in a
different spot, and when The terror
stricken bartenders peered up from
behind the counter they beheld q
bandly battered mirror.
Mrs. Ske1ly rushed through CANA

Roth what she had done. Il want

There was no charge against the

She was sent home weeping and be-

The Closing of Twelve Mile Bayou.

=
The City Council has under con-
sideration the protests filed against
the closing Of Twelve Mile Bayou.
IT is urged that the closing Of this
outlet will operate as a detriment
to the city, as it will threaten the
caving Of the bank Of the bayou,
will necessitate in time draw
bridge across this stream, and that
it will lead to great damage to the
Waterworks intake if not compelling
its abandonment, and to reinstate
at some other point would involve
the city in a great outlay Of money.
From the opposite view it is con-
tended that the damages forecasted
are exaggerated, but that the clos
ing Of Twelve Mile Bayou would
operate as a protection against the
flooding of a vast territory and it
would lead to the reclamation of a
large area Of land subject to Guilt
walton.
This issue should be viewed and
considered in the sense Of a plain
business proposition, without refer
ence to any personal or individual
interest, but in the broadest appli-
cation of the public good.

"EuuenicS a Fad"

The Louisiana Democrat: Cardinal
Gibbons is reported TO have denomi-
mated eugenics 'sas a fad and an in
fflngement on personal liberty" We
coincide with the views of the dis
t'nguished prelate on this subject.
1t there is anything in this world
rpon which men and women should
he permitted to decide for them
selves and according to their own
voIition, without any inqEisition or
restrain, by the State, it IS the un-
fct'ered right Of choosing conjneal
partners, the most intimate, conf
dental and sacred Of all the rela-
tions existing between the sexes.
But there is a growing sentiment
becoming more, prevalent every day
coming down to US no doubt as an
inheritance from our New England
ancestors-to restrict the personal
liberty Of the citizen as much as
possible, upon first one pretext and
then another, and thereby make him
feel more acutely his dependence
upon the governing authority.
The faddists who are endeavoring
to promote the so-called science OF
eugenics will be resisted at every
hazard, not only of the law, but 9TH
erwise.
If its devotees are ever permitted
to enforce their inquisitorial re-
strictions BY limiting the right Of
marriage only to those who will
submit to the ordeal by which
health certificates can be procured,
it will have the ultimate effect Of
decreasing alarmingly, not only the
solemnization of the marriage rite,
but in a corresponding ratio the
birth rate as well, as is the case in
France to day, and has been for
years, due to the heavy expense as
well as the onerous exactions of the
law imposed upon those contem-
plating marriage.
