to the rank OF such professions as

That the long hours and social stigma
attaching to household work, from the
servants standpoint, are what keep
many girls from making 1t their

theory. BY making the work an
honorable profession she believes 1t

from the number of these m-comers 1t

At Her Desk.


After being detained at home for
number of days from indisposition,
Miss Edna O'Harra. general secretary
of the Young Womens Christian Asso-
citation, appeared at her desk bright
and early this snow-clad morning, as
bright and clipper as a chirping snow
bird looking none the worse for her
days Of illness, though not so fully
recovered that she is ready to assume
her full duties in the Office and about
the building. So much is she interest
ed in the work and so ambitious by ma
ture, that she will attempt to perform
all the work that her hands find to do
and may accomplish the undesired-a
collapse and find herself driven back
home with another retirement from &C
tive duties in her mission OF good
works. Her zeal is in a way commend
able, yet her friends are cautioning
her against over-exertion now that she
is lust able to be back at her post.

CAN'T SUPPLY THE DEMAND.

Notwithstanding the number Of young
men who are being turned out yearly
by the agricultural colleges Of the
country we'll equipped to have a hand
in supervising and having a hand in
scientific farming, the supply does not
begin to keep up with the demand.
With several Of the professions over
flowing, many boys who are today cast
ing about to decide upon a definite life
vocation would do well to consider Sc
riously the possibilities open to them
in equipping themselves as agricultural
experts along one of the several lines.
The greatest advance as well as the
greatest wealth Of the years just ahead
will be made in scientific farming, and
those will be sensible who equip them
selves to have hand in it.

HOT TAMALE WRAPPERS.

Now and then some very humorous
items appear under the guise of sober
news items. One such is a dispatch
appearing recently in middle west pa
pers stating that new industry seems
likely to be opened up for Mississippi
valley farmers as result of the de-
mand from the state of Utah for clean,
white, long, thin cornhusks for hot
tamale wrappers. Most any section Of
land from the Twin Cities to New Or
leans could furnish enough cornhusks
to provide all the hot tamales that the
people Of Utah could consume in two
or three years. Unless hot tamales
take the place of oatmeal and pan
cakes all over the country the indus
try referred to will not likely take on
serious proportions.

SUGAR FROM BEETS.

The beet sugar industry of the coun-
try has grown from a production Of
S1,729 short tons in 1899 to 100000
short tons in 1912, the output of the
last named year being 100000 tons
more than for the year 1911. The out
put Of beet sugar for the year past was
equal to one-fifth of the total consump-
ton of sugar, and the prospects seem
good, If the industry is given reasonable
protection, that still larger proportion
of the total amount of sugar consumed
will be produced at home. Figures
compiled for the past season show that
the cane sugar output was the lowest
for any year since 1899, and the pros
poets for the future are that the output
Of cane sugar will decrease rather than
increase.

MONEY FOR SILOS,

Enterprising citizens of Oklahoma
who have the future welfare of the
state much at heart have proposed a
bond issue of 100000, the proceeds OF
which are to be loaned to the farmers
of the state for the construction of
silos in time for use by the fall of the
coming season. Under the plan sug-
gested those receiving the loans would
repay the state for the working capt.
tai advanced only. 1t is urged by those
IN favor Of the measure that this
amount of money would insure the
erection Of 5000 siloS, which would
vastly increase the ability of the farm
ers erecting them to keep stock, which
In turn would add greatly to the wealth
Of the state.

PARCEL POST.

The parcel post, which went into op-
GRAFTON at the beginning Of the new
year, is not only going to give a cheaper
means Of transportation for a great
variety Of small parcels which have
hitherto been handled by express, but
it is going to be great convenience
for all those living on rural routes. In
creasing as the rates do from points in
more distant zones, the retailer in the
small town is given access to the rural
lines running out of his town at a
much less rate than the catalogue
house in the distant city. And it is
fair to assume, If the country merchant
is alive and awake to his opportunities,
the parcel post as inaugurated will be
a help rather than detriment to him.
A great variety of parcels will be ham
died under the new regulations, and
the business of the postal department
is sure to increase enormously.

A BIG SUCKER.

It does beat all how a supposedly
sensible granger who has worked hard
and managed to lay up several thou
sand dollars will now and then get
the notion in his head that he can beat
a couple Of professional sharpers in
poker or other skin game or on deal
in city real estate. We read Of just
such an instance the other day in
which farmer parted company with
some $1,000 in cash and put a mort
gage of some $1,000 on his farm. When
the sharpers got through with him he
was a wiser and sadder as well as a
poorer man, and to conceal the humili-
alton of having been worked for such
a sucker he bruised himself up some
and gave his home people to under
stand that he had been set upon by
footpads.

PRETTY new BELTS
AND GIRDLES.
Exceptionally Smart and AttraC.
tive Are Styles Now Shown.

If you affect rather severe frocks the
belt should be Of leather, suede or kid
in black and white, gray and tan or
dark red, moss green and taupe. If
you prefer one tone in the leather strap
have 1t ornamented with jewels of diff
ferent sorts mingled in an attractive
design.
Black velvet ribbon interlaced with
black metal links, each one tipped with
gold pendant, makes an attractive
and unique looking belt, but If you
would have something very stunning
indeed decorate a strip of white suede
with a pattern in seed pearls inter-
spersed with emeralds and have kid
covered buckle with enameled eyelets.
Equally chic and unusual, are the
belts composed of a row of imitation
canoes of large size connected by a
double set Of links and finished at the
ends with metallic tassels.
Bodice girdles are considered excep-
tionally smart, and they undeniably
are attractive. One very unique model
has a bodice of black patent kid, ex-
actly shaped to the figure, and girdle
Of heavy black silk braid interlaced
with double strands of white kid and
finished at both ends with long black
floss tassel. In any color this model
may be attractively worked out, and
1t is especially good in white with sill
yer braiding. Very attractive is a sash
girdle composed Of an Indian red pat
int leather belt with an ivory buckle
of oval shape at either end, through
which Is run an Indian red surah sash
with a three inch long fringed end.
High girdles support the sashes
which are a feature of many of the
smartest French costumes brought
out this season. A considerable num-
ber of these are OF wide ribbon in sat
In, moire or taffeta and when not per-
manently attached to the waist band
Ire ret1ed each time that they are
worn.
