Not Styles, but
Next Best Thing
(By Margaret MasOn.)

{ Written for the United Press.)
When you've purchased your fall
clothes,
If fathers working yet,
And lots of linen get.
Table damask, towels too,
Sheets, and one best bet
what matter if the child needs
shoes?)
A filet luncheon set.
NEW YORK, Sept. 15-Every
woman knows that restocking her
linen shelves and dudeing up her
house in a lot of mOnOgramed sheets
and towels; pillow cases, table-cloths
and napkins is the next best thing TO
decking herself in complete new
outfit of sheer and lacy lingerie. Fort
unately for the thrifty housewife
fashions in household linens are not
so tickle and fleeing as in personal
Even so, the florid designs Of our
grandmothers' tablecloths are in the
worst possible taste today and the
degree to which bathtowel has evo-
luted into a thing of beauty as we'll
as utilitarian proposition would
have widened her old eyes with
amazement not unmiXed with disap-
proval.
Quite the most charming designs
in table damask for the up-to-date
hostess are noticeable for their sim
plicity. A perfectly plain cloth with
napkins to match has for design
merely wide satin band for border.
Of course such smart severity calls
for elaborately embroidered mono
grams. For the very large napkins
these are prettiest done in the center
of the napkin but in the ordinary din
ner size the monogramed corner is
equally attractive. An inch and a
half monogram on the napkins and a
three-inch on the cloth is best. Three
lettrs in script make a very good
monogram but the newest is a con-
ventional arrangement of three block
letters into a square or triangle.
A striped cloth with a floral bor-
der is effective or one with a plain
center with floral border is pretty
either in a round, square or long
boquet cloth. The centers of the new
cloths are all either striped or plain
however and all-over design stamps
them as being of an earlier vintage
than 1913.
For breakfast and luncheon cloths
the cOlored damask is coming again
to the fore like delicate tinted ghosts
of the old red tablecloth. In blue,
pink or yellow, they are quaint and
attractive with china to match. The
round cloths as well as the napkins
are scalloped around the edges.
The assortment of luncheon sets is
so irresistibly fascinating as to tempt
even the tightest shoppers. The elab-
crate filet and eyelet sets are priced
away up in three figures but stunning
ones of handembroidery with insets
of cluny and cluny edging is quite
within touch if one isn't too touchy
Quality, durability, beauty and
smartness are all four united how
ever in plain hand-scalloped linen
set with hand-scalloped napkins TO-
match, each piece marked with a new
square monogram.
Chinese linens for luncheon sets are
steadily gaining as favorites just
now and the heavy embroidery on the
grass linen is most attractive In
expensive sets of blue and white Jap
anese toweling are artistic with a
service of the quaint blue and white
Canton ware

Cotton Exchange
Gets New Home

The Imperial Valley Cotton Grow
ers Exchange has secured new
home Members Of the exchange have
purchased the Joseph r. Lotus build
ing on the northeast corner of Main
and Fourth streets, through the Edgar
Bros. Realty Company, for $1,000,
and have given the exchange
an option on the building at
purchase price. This will make the
permanent home of the organization,
which now has signed up for the year
about 5000 bales of cotton and which
expects to market about 10000 bales.
The exchange will make special
effort to place the long staple cotton
to good advantage, and it is believed
the organization is in shape to ham
die the product of the valley to good
advantage

EDISON. TALKING PICTURES
AT OPERA HOUSE. SEPT.

The seemingly impossible has at
last been accomplished-moving pic
lures that talk and laugh and sing.
Thomas A. Edison, the wizard, has
at last made this possible and these
wonderful talking pictures will be
seen at the opera house, September
27. Mr.. Edison does not claim that his
pictures are the first talking pictures,
but he does claim, that they are the
first and only practical and genuine
talking pictures, perfected and pre-
sented to the public. The Edison
talking pictures are genuine, that is,
the film and record are taken stimuli
taneously, and every sound and every
action is faithfully produced.

TRAPPER MUST BE SKILLED
Farmer Boy, to Be Successful, Must
Acquire knowledge Of Habits
Of Different Animals.

Wild animals depend largely on
their scent to escape pitfalls and
traps. Consequently. any effort in
trapping must first Of all eliminate
odors. Therefore, to be most sue
cessful in capturing fur animals 70
quires knowledge of the habits Of
each. The setting of traps requires
skill, not only In placing them in the
right spot, but in covering up odors
and the evidence Of the presence Of
human beings. The time of the year
and the character of the weather have
much to do in finding prizes on max

such times the trapper will not have
much luck. Dry, cold. frosty nights
In winter are also not fruitful of
good results. But when the nights
are dark. rainy and cloudy the
chances for good catches are very
favorable.
Most game is usually found in
wild, rough, hilly or swampy coun-
tries. Foxes and wolves are some
times seen on the open prairie. In
looking for signs Of game observe
carefully the rocks and brush along
creeks. ponds and lakes. The paths
Of beaver. muskrat, coon and mink
are evidences that fur-bearing game
travels in that vicinity. These are
sure signs and are splendid places to
trap. For mink, which Ia one Of the
most valuable fur animals, the trap
should be set near the den. Trap

Der and continue until April. between
which dates the fur is prime.

Quantities Of Water.

Consider the kind of plant you are
watering. Soft-stemmed kinds. espe-
cially those with large leaves, will
require much more water than hard
wooded, slow-growing kinds. While
the former easily recover from drouth,
the hard-wooded suffer permanently
from extremes.
The seasons and time Of day should
also be watched. Plants not in active
growth should be watered sparingly
until they have regained their foliage.
Watering in the evening just before
dark greatly aids fungous diseases,
as the foliage remains wet through
the night.
