Forecast Seems to Make Sure That
Small and Medium-Sized Hats
Are TO Take the Lead.

Small and medium-sized hats wilt
take the lead There will be a va
riety OF shapes, but the most prom
inent are the sailor, mushroom poke,
and the small hat with the left side
rolling brim. Sailors are many times
given poke effect. The front brim is
often made shorter than the back,
and a slight bend in the center front
gives a decidedly poke effect. The
mushroom poke is small, and the
brim is perfectly straight. The crown
is medium high anG soft. This ap-
plies to nearly all fall shapes.
The season will start out with fab
recovered hats of MORE, satin, tat
feta, panne velvet and malines. Ma
lines will be extensively used in the
trimming of fall hats in the form OF
bows and Ipleatings Bias double ruff
f1es Of malines are often used to fin
ish the edges Of the brims.
Extensive use of ribbon is prom
ised. High standing bows, with the
highest loop measuring fourteen
inches, will be seen. The butterfly
bow is composed OF four wired loops
with rounded edges. Two of the loops
are in the center, with one on either
side. The windmill bow, similar in
shape to half windmill, is generally
made of ribbon, while the butterfly
bow is Of malines or crepe.
Understanding front or back trim
mings are preferred. Bows of malines
or ribbon are almost always placed
at the front or back, never at the
side of a hat Coque and quilts will
be the prominent feather trimmings,
and are made in novelty form. They
viii be arranged in the direct front or
back with bows of ribbon

SECURE PROFIT FROM DUCKS
Eggs Can BE Sold at High Prices and
There Is Always Good Demand
for Their Feathers.

A nice flock of ducks increases the
profits on the farm every year. The
eggs can be sold in the spring at
good prices. for setting, and there is
always a good sale for feathers.
They are much less trouble than
chickens or turkeys because they sci.
dom die from any kind of disease.
Ducks will always take care Of them
selves after they have been Matched a
short time. AS soon as the ducks
are large enough to eat, sprinkle
thick curd in their boxes. Shallow
vessels should be used for watering.

HEAD LOUSE ATTACKS CHICKS
Poulterer Must Look Closely for In
furious Little Insects in Order to
Get Healthy Birds.

(3v A. c. SMITH. Professor Of Poultry
Hhsbandry. University Farm, ST. Paul,
Minn1
The head louise attacks young
chicks generally before they are feath-
cred out, and is first found on the
head with it's claws or feeders sunk
into the skin of the head. AS they
become more numerous. they attack
/ the throat and neck as we'll. The
remedy is simple, but it takes a little
time. Each chick must have its head
creased with lard, cottonseed oil or
olive oil. You will have TO look close
~ TO see these insects. They are very
destructive to chickens and must be
controlled or exterminated if the chick
is TO be healthy

COLD WEATHER FINDS
MANY UNPREPARED

Atlanta, Oct. 21.-Charitable organ
izations in Atlanta are overwhelmel
today by pitiful calls from the unfor-
tunate or improvident classes who
were caught unprepared by the sud
den cold weather and have neither
coal or wood for their stoves or
clothes for their backs or sufficient
covering for their beds.
During warm weather it is a com
parative simple matter to live on few
cents day in Atlanta. Six months out
OF the year it is possible to live out Of
doors almost all the time.
But the minute the cold comes it
brings the pinch with it, This year,
because of the suddenness of the
change, it is said the suffering is
extreme.
