The POPULARITY
OF FILkY TULLE
As the Season Advances the Uses
of This Airy Fabric Are inf
nitely Varied and Multiplied.

UILE is seen everywhere. Its
8 lavish use is one of the dis
tincGye features of the. sea
sons fashions This demand
Tor the fabric has brought improved
qualities and various weights We
sven have 50 called rainproof tulle.
The vogue for tulle first was noticed
IN millinery. Quite early in the season
tule hats began to be popular. The
tulle was mounted on Wire frames or
combined With other trimmings on the
hats. These tulle hats We're popular
because they were light and cool,
quality priced in summer headgear.
Airy Summer Hats.
Besides being mounted on wire
frames, tulle crowns We're mounted on
brims Of soft straw. The use of great
wired butterfly bows of tule has been
popular. SO, too. have paintings and
frilIs of the tulle around the brim of
hats.
Tulle is lavishly used in the manu-
facture of sashes and waist trimmings
On white cotton and eponge summer
frocks a sash of colored or black tulle
frequently gives the requisite touch of
relief. These are sometimes finished
with long floating ends at the back and
at others ending in fanlike bow with
uncut edges similar in style TO those 50
much Worn at the throat
But tulle is by no means used exclu-
sively where sashcs and belts are CON
cerned- We find all manner of mate
rails combined with it, from soft satin
and velvet to embroidered muslins and
brocades
Sashes are made Of two or more
materials. such as satin and tulle, vel
vet and chenc ribbon or of self color

owners of automobiles that do
not display state license tags are
now liable to arrest. The fifteen
days of grace, granted by the state
because tags could not be distribute
ed to all applicants by July first,
expire today. The law prescribes a
fine of not more than $50 for the
first offense, and fine of not less
than $50 and Imprisonment for not
more than sixty days for the second
offense.
Only few motorists in Abilene
and Dickinson county are not dis
playing tags in the manner ordered
by the law. Fewer still have not
yet made application, but these few
may be prosecuted.

STATE WON'T HELP SAND MEN
Refuse Petition of County Attorney
for Suspension.

The state of Kansas will not issue
a dispensation in favor OF DICKINSON
count laborers who are unable to
haul sand from the Smoky Hill riV-
err under the new law, without first
procuring bond. Arthur Hurd,
county attorney, received a letter
to that effect today from w. e. Da-
Wis, state auditor.
Nearly forty teamsters have Deen
hauling sand from the river when
other work has been slack. Under
the law requiring "a ten per cent
royalty to be paid to the state they
are unable to do this without Sc
curing bond guaranteeing that
they will make correct royalty re-
turns. Bonds are expensive ana
troublesome, and a ten per cent
royalty from an individual means
that much less earned than days
wage, which heretofore the men
have been making. Several OF the
laborers appealed to the county at
torney, and he petitioned the state
executive council asking a suspen-
sion of the law in favor of indiVid-
ual haulers.
The bond required, according to
the state auditor, is 500. In one
particular instance, whare 1t was
difficult for the teamster to get
bond security, Davis reduced the
required amount to $50. In the
other cases the state will do moth
ing.

FARMING FACTS

Would learn acreage, kinds of
crops, and much other informa-
tion for purpose of advertising
the states vast resources.
For the purpose of promoting
its agricultural interests, facts
as to farm acreage and crops
raised are being gathered by the
Southern Pacific.
For the convenience of farm
ers in the territory tributary to
Tucson, blanks have been placed
at the Chamber of Commerce to
be filled out by farmers, says
the Tuscon Citizen:
Information is being gathered
along the entire system in the
southwest. When it is in hand
it will be compiled and analysed
and the results used in advertis=
ing Arizona.
Besides the acreage Of each
farm, the company wants to
know the kinds Of crops raised,
fruits, vegetables, grains, alfalfa,
etc.; the kind and number of
animals raised; figures on dairy
ing, including the number of
acres Warmed, irrigated, the
scoqrce Of the water supply, the
cost per acre, where the product
is marketed and the results OBJ
tanned.
When filled, the blanks should
be left at the chamber of COM

vocate, it would be the end-and
ought to be the end-of the Dem
ocratic party"
With admirable, Chesterfeldian
grace, the senator thoughtfully
adds to his courteous denial,
with kipdest personal regards. :"
%, Henry, what a consummate
touch was that! Naturally, it is
not pleasant for an Arizona
gentleman to turn down another's
polite request, but, doubtless, the
pain of the refusal is tempered
by the thought that not one of
the petitioners was a contributor
to the funds of the Democratic
state central committee which
aided in the selection of the
gentleman from Coconino county.
AS he nobly observes: "The
time has came-come- when a
public man must give up his per-
sonal interests and the interests
of a few men of his particular
state for the larger good and
general good of all the people. "
AS with wool so with sugar. His
attitude that the three hundred
thousand sugar consumers in the
young state of Arizona largely
used in the lump, in a small glass
shall have consideration above
the few men raising sugar beets
there. Gladly and joyously do
we conspire to give publicity to
the glorious stand taken by the
patriotic senator across the bor-
der. 1t is no more, however,
than we expect from one who has
been lumberjack, cowboy, clerk
and cashier in store; newspaper
reporter, hodcarrier and lawyer.
Senator Ashurst, we salute you!
Your state one day shall raise a
molten union labeled in
your honor. Not that your men,
ory will need it; that can never
fade. Pasadena Daily News.
