The School Outfit.

Mothers everywhere are now
planning the school outfits that
should be readiness for the au-
tumn sessions. Summer sports
have reduced many of the chill
dren's garments to shabbiness,
and it is always a question of
how best to select the necessary
refttings. especially when the
schools are at distance from
the home which precludes the
possibility of trying on and fit
ting later in the season.
Tailored Lines.
Clothes built on smart but plain
tailored lines are best, being not
only more practical and lasting
for general school wear, but also
more fashionable than fancier
models. Materials should be Sc
lected to stand continuous hard
wear satisfactorily, and with suf-
ficient body to take the tailored
finish. Cotton materials now
come in so many forms desirable
for year-round wear, that fas-
tidious women who require that
their children's attire shall be
sanitary, as well as good look
ing, are giving this class of goods
preference for general school

Sorghum For Cows and Horses.


Sorghum hay properly cured is good
rOughage for horses and cattle Care
should be taken not to feed sorghum
which is mOldy or decayed. for it is
especially dangerous to horses. Sweet
sorghums are more palatable and there
fore reIished better by both horses and
cattle than corn stover. Sorghum seeds
ground have been found to be worth
about 10 per cent less than corn for
milk making purposes. They may be
fed to horses whole. but should be fed
to the brood mare in limited quantities
the same as corn, for sorghum feed is
rich in carbohydrates and lacks in the
element protein, which is very impor-
tant to the brood mare.-Hoard's Dairy

Materials of Quality.
Clever mothers recognize the
desirability of selecting thor
oughly good wearing as well as
good looking material for chill
dren's frocks. No matter how
pretty or smartly made a child's
suit may be if the stuff is so poor
that it loses it's shape and color
after a few washings it is a bad
bargain.
Renfrew Devonshire Cloth is
woven expressly to meet the de-
mand for a stylish, reliable cot
ton of firm texture but not too
heavy. Heavier than gingham
and lighter than Galatea, which
it outwears. it is yarn-dyed, the
color woven-in, not stamped on
the fabric, hence it stays fresh
looking when other materials are
dingy and faded.
In stripes, solid colors, checks,
and figures in matching tones, it
makes the smartest combina-
tions, and the name on the edge
guarantees it's quality and pro-
tects the buyer from inferior
goods.

The Minnlch Reunion.

The thirteenth annual Minnich

Something of the history of
the Minnichs in Pennsylvania
was given by Levi Minnich in
his address. This was followed
with solo by DIR. S. A. Minnich
and a song by the male quartet.
A liberal contribution was Civ
en-.
All rejoiced as they marched
to the dining hall where a sump-
tuous repast was in store, to
which all-157 in number did

the afternoon, increasing the
number to about 200.
The following persons are to
be commended in rendering the
afternoon program:
Dr. S. A. Minnich for his COM

Phebe Siler for her splendid
reading.
Mrs. U. M. Minnich for her
sacred solo.
The trio of young men, Forest

Party Frocks.

Two or three pretty frocks for
special occasions are desirable in
any girls outfit, and as these get
less wear than the everyday
clothes, they last longer and
therefore must be altered to keep
pace with the child's growth.
It is an easy matter to change a
fussy frock, for trimmings and
accessories in the way of bodices,
sashes, or the new vesties and
cape jackets all lend their aid in
concealing the fact that they are
used to cover joinings.
Many of the silk and cotton
mixtures and flower printed
voiles that cost little except for
the making, are most suitable
and becoming for girls wear at
the informal dances and small
gaieties that they occasionally
enjoy.
People who do not have to con-
slider expense in the selection OF
their children's clothes, prefer
dainty little dresses of this sort,
which is a help to other people
who must count the cost. Flow
cred muslins and tissues are good
for use the year round and thus
make special appeal to clever
managers.

The petitions to Governor Fletcher for
executive clemency in the case of Arthur
Bosworth, condemned to be hanged in n
short time, find little basis, as the con-
demned man seems to have given no
signs of insanity and his act in shooting
down Mae Labelle at Essex Junction
over two years ago seems to have been
cold-blooded. If it were not
for the fact that there is distinct re-
vlilsion of feeling in Vermont at the
present time against capital punishment,
there would be little effort to induce the
governor to commute the death sentence
to life Imprisonment. But it is certain
that there is not such demand to take
a life for life as there formerly was;

CONDITION OF VERMONT PENAL
INSTITUTIONS.

The people of the state will be pleased
to learn that the various state institu-
tions in Vermont were found by the Of
fetal board of visitors to be in such ex-
cellent shape, particularly the house OF
correction at Rutland, where there has
been some dissatisfaction. The clean
bill of health, so to speak, given that
institution, is satisfactory for the rea-
son, too, that the nature of its use Is
such as to render the work of keeping
it in shape especially difficult, for the
occupants are changing frequently, COM
ing and going as their short sentences
begin and end and bringing new respon-
sibilities on their keepers and scarcely
becoming trained to right and sys-
tematic sort of existence before their
terms are concluded; whereas, in the
other institutions, the stays of the in
mates are longer and thus the system
is less frequently disrupted as newcom-
ers enter and clog the smooth working
of the interior routine. 1t is not re-
markable, therefore, that the system in
the house of correction should not DO
as smooth working an organization as
in most of the other state institutions;
but the confidence expressed by the board
of visitors in the present superintendent
of the institution gives hope that the
house of correction will maintain com
paratively high standard. Surely the
people of the state desire ii to be main
tanned as high as possible, both because
of their feeling of self-respect in main
tanning only clean-cut institution and
also because of their desire to place the
inmates OF the institutions under no
greater handicsps than are necessary to
persons under restraint. They are mind
full of the great hue and cry that has
been raised in the neighboring state OF
New York during the past few months
and they wish their institutions to be
as free as possible from criticism that
is undesirable.
