AIDE BOASTS Of

NEW YORK. June 26.-George AIDE

he had ever seen, and spoke of the
tremendous advance in the price of
farms in Indiana since he went back
TO the land, fifteen years ago, though
he modestly deprecated a suggestion
that that venture might have had
anything to do with raising the price
from $50 to 5000 an acre
What has undoubtedly put up the
price of land in Indiana so enor-

Twenty years ago agricultural col

Boys who came from farms simply
would not be persuaded to take agri-

POETINGONTEST
TELLS HOPES
IN VERSE
It's "YOu'Il Never Cop a Pony if
You Don't Turn in the
Votes"

Every great occasion brings its
poet, and The Georgian and Ameri-
cans pony contest seems to be no ex-
ception.
1t may not be poetry Of the sub
finest style, but at least it contains
some great truths, and the contestant
who wrote it is very likely to turn out
a winner.
Here is the poem-Walt Mason
style, it seems to be:
You may long for all the prizes
The Georgian gives away; you may
guess and make surmises as to final
victory; you may dream of welcome
laurels where your flag of triumph
floats. but you'll never win a pony If
you don't turn in the votes.
You may speculate on this thing.
you may make a guess at that; but
II others are adjusting, who should
you be standing back? Make a noise
IKE something doing, get the other
Fellows goats, for you'll never COD a
pony If you don't turn in the votes
"LEnvoi:
Just remember, hopeful workers,
you have got to shed your coats, roll
your sleeves up. keep a-humping, if
you want to get the votes"
The contest manager suggested
that the contestant poet might have
spent some of the tinfe he devoted to
writing the rhyme to getting a few
votes for himself.
The poet said it was no trouble at
all to WOO the muse, and that putting
down the sentiments on paper helped
him next day and all the following
days in his work of soliciting sub
scriptions.
Just to be generous he passes it
along

The very ample muff we were talk
ing about hespeaks comfort A wide
border of fox fur trims it at the sides,
and there lis no other ornamentation,
for which sensible development the
designer deserves a vote of thanks
from her feminine friends.
It is tackled together at the side,
leaving an opening for the hands.
There Is a "shirred-on" pocket on the
lining, which will accommodate a
handkerchief or two, small purse or
vanity case. One pocket is a con-
venience, but several are delusion.
Things always get in the wrong peck
ct, and can never be found quickly.
The turban consists of band about
the head, which supports small
dome-shaped frame of buckram, like a
rather high skull cap. The top of
! this is covered with a small piece of
the hrocaded velvet. There is wide,
bias pun about the brim and crown,
with it's fullness disposed in plaits
laid wherever necessary to get the
proper adjustment. The puff managed
in this way falls to the right side.
A graduated band of fur, wider at the
left than at the right side, begins at
the front, where it's narrow end is fas-
tened under the plaits in the fabric. 1t
is brought around the turban and ter
inmates under the pair of short, full
ostrich half plumes which are used
| for trimming.
This turban and muff will prove a
safe choice for almost any wearer, so
far as becomingness is concerned.
They are equally well adapted to fab
RIGS for day or evening wear. Better
than all, In them is solid comfort a.
well as style and real beauty.

NO ARBITRARY
POINT Is SET
FOR WAIST LINE

I T isn't often such a substantial and
1 necessary adjunct of feminine ap-
parel as the waist line is allowed the
restless perambulations this season
has permitted; and it seems no near
er becoming az settled and stationary
affair than it did three months ago.
Indeed, its restlessness appears to be
daily increasing.
Candidly there is absolutely no stat
ing where the most fashionable waist
line is. Sometimes it rises high up
under the bust at empire height, while
again it is discovered dipping low
down. fully three and even four inches
below its normal position. In fact. in
some instances there is no waist line
to be discovered at all, except perhaps
a faint suggestion at the sides where
the surplice draping of the bodice
might be guessed to follow the sup
posed line of the conventional waist.
This shifting panorama of waist po-
sitions is a most comfortable laxness
for women in general. For the wom-
an who is long bodied the high waist
line is a welcome subterfuge, while,
on the other hand, the woman who
is long from the waist down can wear
the dropped line at the belt most be-
comingly.
One extreme example of the waist
line vagaries was illustrated rather
sensationally in a suit shown not long
ago, when the belt line both rose and
fell in alternating fashion. The suit
was of pale blue serge with an extrav-
agantly bepuffed tunic of sea blue
satin. Beaded pendants falling from
the shore jacket we're the only trim
ming High in the front, the jacket
closed and the tunic rose, both dip
ping together at each side and then
rearing high again at the back. The
effect was decidedly bizarre and not
to be called handsome by any stretch
of the imagination.

FAMILY OF FIVE
All Drank Coffee From Infancy.

1t is a common thing in this country
to see whole families growing up with
nervous systems weakened by coffee
drinking.
That is because many parents do
not realize that coffee contains drug
-caffeine-which causes the trouble.
(The same drug is found in tea)

to two years ago.

and were advised to quit coffee. we
did so and began to uss Postum. We
now are doing without medicine and
are entirely relieved Of heart trouble.

continually used as in coffee drink

"Our eleven-year>old boy had weak
digestion from birth, and yet always
