WHY DO MODEST WOMEN DRESS
IAINIODESTLY?

What is the motive which causes
women-good women, women who
woald grieve deeply if accused of i'm
modesty-to bedeck themselves in
dress which throws into bold promi-
nence their physical charms-styles
of dress which cause average men to
gasp and stare and sometimes to
make remarks which they wouldn't
like other men to make about their
sisters, daughters or wives?
What is the explanation of this
growing sex appeal?
Remembering that no man ever
thoroughly understood a woman, we
asked these questions of a well-in-
formed elderly woman, wife and
mother of married cchildren. She
said:
mo, women-that is, good women
don't wear slit skirts and tight
fitting waists, cut low, to allure men.
You men are conceited when you
think they do. Women wear those
immodest modes because they are the
modes. They wear them to please
other women and to escape the criti-
cism which other women pass on
the woman whose dress isn't up to
the minute in style. AS for who
makes the styles, you men are re-
sponsible. When you want modesty
in dress to become fashionable again
just bring pressure to bear on the
merchants who hire and steer the
dress designers"
Now this explanation doesn't suit
us, for it .ascribes to women lack
of moral courage which we should
be sorry to believe is attributable to
them.
When you think how bravely a
good woman will face anguish incon-
ceivable to become a mother or to
send a husband or son to a post OF
danger in a crisis, isn't it belittline
her courage to assume that she
would rather look immodest than tc
be considered out of fashion?
So we refuse to accept our ex
pert's explanation and pass the ques
tions on to our readers.
What is your theory of presen
styles of women's drass2
Also, is it positive that thes'
dresses which some of us men cal
immodest are really immodest? Il
it not possible that the styles today
are as modest as any other styles
that the immodesty is all in the way
our male minds run?

VILE SLANDER.

One of the first opportunities the
women of Illinois had to exercise
their new elective franchise failed
because some mean scoundrel of a
politician had the report circulated
that it would be something of a dress
affair. The ladies got the idea that
they could not appear at the voting
booth unless they wore evening
clothes, and some of them had no
new dresses. OF course, if it was to
be strictly a dress affair none of
them could wear the dresses in
which they had appeared at other
social functions. And it is reported
that the whole thing went to smash.
This may be vile SANDER, but it has
already been printed in a number of
creditable newspapers and until dis
approved must be accepted as fact.

CONTRACT PEACH CROP.
Josephine County Growers AssOcia-
tiOn Makes Good Sale.

Grants Pass, July 28.-Fifty thou
sand boxes of peaches of the crop
now on the trees in the Grants Pass
district have been contracted through
the medium of the Josephine County
Growers Association for shipment to
the southern markets at As cents
per box, f. o. b. here. Included in
the sale are the crops from the Els
mann ranch, figured at 10 900 boxes,
and $4,000 boxes in the Merlin dis
trict, in which are the Martin Angle
and the A. ]. Husey crops. At least
70 per cent of the local early peach
crop is included in the contract, and
as the buyer will take more than the
$4,000 boxes at the same rate, it is
expected that others will ship with
the association.
The contract entered into through
the association calls for fruit of
Eighties" or larger, free from dis
ease, scale or split pits. The hand
ling charges of the association are
Z per cent, with 2-cent charge for
loading on the car. AS soon as the
car is billed the producer gets his
check, doing away with the long wait
and the uncertainty of returns. Last
year the price received was SO cents
per box in Portland, but from that
figure there was deducted IA or Is
cents per box for freight.
The Muirs and other late peaches
will be canned at the local cannery,
about 10 per cent of the total acre
age of peaches being of the late va
rieties.
The association also has an offer
of 81 f. o. b. Grants Pass for the
Winesap apples, and can place the
local crop if it concludes to close at
that figure. This is a most satisfac-
tory price for that variety of apple,
and indicates that the price for the
crop this season will be a satisfac-
tory one. Owing to the dry season
in California, running large proper
tion of the fruit crop there, the
southern market will be the best
available this fall, and in reaching
this market no other apple-produc-
ing district can compete with the
Rogue valley.

WISE CONCLUSION.

One of the most illuminated ut
terances that has ever issued from
the department of the interior is con-
tained in a recent statement by Sec
retary Franklin X. Lane in regard
to Indians who are the wards of the
United States. He ventures to as
sert that there are many Indians
Indians in name only-who are en-
tirely competent to be treated as cit
izens of the American republic and
that wise policy of our government
would speedily emancipate these citi-
zens from the tutelage and guardian
ship of a red-tape government bu-
reau.

Joaquin Miller, "the poet of the
Sierras," who died a few months ago,
has been put forward as the very
worst writer that ever lived. The
secretary of literary society once
invited him to attend a banquet and
received an answer which no one
could decipher. He wrote again to
the poet, stating the difficulty, and
suggesting that, in replying, he
should make cross at the foot of
the letter if he were coming and a
circle if he could not be present.
Miller complied with the request,
but no one could decide whether the
mark he made was intended for a
circle or a cross.

NANNY GOAT.

One paper suggests that cure for
the high cost of living is the goat.
The goat may be a cure, but the
principal thing the country is look
ing for in the matter of the high
cost of living is the goat. We are
all hunting for some person or con-
dition on which to shuck the respon-
sibility. But without any nonsense,
the goat is much more of an eco
nomical creature than is generally
expected. The milk from the goat is
more nutritious than that from the
COW, and Nanny is practically i'm
mune from tuberculosis, that may
not be said of the COW. Besides, the
goat is not so particular about her
diet as is the COW and the original
investment is very much less.

Bill Nye was once introduced to
Wagner, the composer. In "Then
and Now" Deane Hole relates: "Nye,
the American humorist, brilliant as
the best, whose omedy never fails to
charm, and whose tragic death
have never ceased to mourn, told me
that when he met Wagner he said
to him, Your music is beyond my
comprehension, but l feel sure when
| hear it that it is really much bet
ter than it sounds"

One of the pleasantest features of
modern summer life is the tendency
to build country clubs in the suburbs
of cities, where golf, tennis and 9TH

wasted, even from the mere pecun-
iary viewpoint.
