In this union of lace and fur there is
the same element of pleasant surprise,
of charming incongruity, that we ex-
perience when we see the gay Paris
ienne wearing an ermine coat over
her shadow-lace frock. And in this
same element of surprise there is that
coquettishness which is really part
of stylish dressing.
Fur For the Warm Climate.
1t is this trimming with fur that
makes it possible for the woman in
the warmer climates of the south to
indulge her taste and her love of the
fashionable pelts, since the filmiest of
evening scarfs and wraps. the thin
ner coats and wraps for winter wear,
the hats that complete the costume,
may all have the touch of fur that

since there is larger margin than
ever before allowed for, the use of fur
as trimming-and what garniture is
so effective as fur, since tiny little
bit of it gives richness that is quite
beyond the mere cost of it. The de-

shown especially when it is combined
with the sheer laces, silks and chif-

gees Addicted to Dope"

Just add this one to all the queer
things that have happened in the year
of grace 1913 and believe it's true, be
cause. w. E. Baker, deputy auditor OF
the state of Ohio, says he can prove
it,
The honey bees near Fostoria, which
is Bakers home town, have contract
ed the opium habit. Like the Chinese,
they get theirs from the poppy. Bak'
er and many other residents of Eos
toria grow oriental peoples.
The bees have found this out, and
of late they are leaving acres of
clover blossoms to hunt out the poppy
beds. They work very vigorously for
an hour or so and then fall to the
ground apparently as stupefied as are
opium smokers after hitting the
pipe. "-Fostoria (Ohio) dispatch to

(E1lensburg DAWN

If there was not town in Kittitas
valley, what would farming land here
be worth? If there were no stores in
the valley to buy goods from, dry
goods, groceries, etc.. what would your
farm be worth? If you had to send to
Seattle for everything you bought and
everything you had to sell had to be
sent there, would there be any land
selling here at from 5000 to $500 per
acre? How long would you continue
to reside in this valley if it contained
no market points? Is it possible you
would liver under such conditions one
year? Would it not be mighty incon-
venient? Seattle would profit by your
stay over here, and so would the rail-
roads, but would you? Seattle mer-
chants would get all your coin. they
would send any class of goods they
wanted to, you would be buying sight
unseen, and paying you whatever they
chose for your products. Would that
suit you very long? How long would
1t be before you would be clamoring
for local market? Would you help
to obtain it? You would do all in your
power to help the promoters too. They
would be helping you every time you
helped them. Your money would stay
at home and you would buy all your
goods after seeing them-not before
and If needed something and did not
have the money to buy it, the mer-
chant would accommodate you very
gladly. Happy thought! Ideal condi-
tons! Let's all trade at home and be
happy!

FRAMING POSTCARDS.

Keeping Them,

A Pleasing Yet inexpensive Way Of
Keeping Them.
Many little sketches or paintings
which appear on post cards nowadays
are worth framing. and the following
method will be found both inexpensive
and easy.
All that IL necessary for the work IL
small quantity of oblong pieces Of
glass, which can be bought from any
glass dealer. II pot Of good paste. some
stout brown paper and some old pieces
of velvet, silk. taffeta. etc.
Place the picture behind a piece of
glass a trifie larger than itself and
stick both together firmly at the cor
ners
Next cut piece Of strong brown pa
per to paste on the back. This should
overlap the picture by at least one inch
all round in order that it may be turn
ed over and pasted on to the front o:
the glass to keep the whole firm. The
worker must, however, be careful that
the paper does not come over the pic
ture.
After this place the picture beneath
some heavy books in order that its
parts may adhere together and be
pressed quite fiat before the framing
is continued Then choose the stuff
from which the rest of the frame is to
be fashioned Either velvet or silk Is
the best for the purpose.
From the material cut a piece for the
frame. making it almost a quarter of
an inch larger on the outside edge.
This frame Of material will not. o.
course. have any joints at the corners
Stick the velvet or silk over the brown
paper frame already made. cut out the
center to show the picture. turn In the
edges of the opening to make it neat
and the outside edges over the back o.
the picture and stick it down firmly to
finish off.
The effect is most charming whel.
completed. and although the directions
may sound a little complicated and
tedious they will be found quite easy
TO follow when the materials are pro
duced and the picture framing begun.
The same idea could he carried out
in cardboard. the square framing of
this being stuck Oh instead of the one
made of materials. This will be found
little firlner than the other method
When finished the cardboard may he

very pretty If carefully done.

WHY IS BEEF HIGH?
Poor Production, Says Expert-Profit mt
Cents a Pound, He Says.

3 Cents a Pound, He Says.
Why is beef so high?
Here is the answer to that question
as given by President Gross of the
National Soil Fertility league:
AT present we consume 81 per cent.
of our wheat, SO per cent of our corn
and all other agricultural products.
Six years ago we exported AGE, 900 head
of cattle; last year we only exported
10000. Last year we imported 31S,-
900 head of cattle, while six years be-
fore we imported only 10000. Popu-
iation increased 81 per cent in 10 years
While meat supply decreased 20 per
cent. Soon we will have 50-cent beef
steak unless there is an increase in
production.
1T is not railways or packers who
make high prices. it is poor production.
1t is possible to raise beef and pork for
" cents a pound and get reasonable
profit. This can be done by use of bal
anced ration, by raising alfalfa, using
siios ard increasing number of feed
'ers"
