THREE BIG CIRCUsEs
oBIy Three Shows OF the First CIas,
travelling 90 the Read.

There are only three of the
circuses of the first class travel
ing on the road today. That is,
there are only three circuses
carrying three rings in which
the performance is.given. These
circuses are the Barnum and
Bailey, The Ringing and The
Yankee Robinson circus. All Of
these shows have three rings,
two elevated stages and the usual
hippodrome track where the
races are held. The Robinson
circus gives its Wild West per-
Torrance in the hippodrome
track. The other two shows do
not carry the Wild West annex,
but give a spectacular perform
ance in addition to the circus.
The Sioux Falls Argus-Leader,
speaking of the Robinson circus,
states that the performance is on
a par with either the Barnum or
circus and states en-
that the present Yankee
Robinson circus will excel the
show within a few
years.

BLACK SATIN HAT RETAINED
Though White Seems to Be Coming
FaVorite Color, Yet This Style
Is Always Smart.

While colors are to be rampant this
year and spread themselves over the
world like a gorgeous sunset or a rain
bow, yet the tiny black satin hat is to
be very smart indeed. The woman
who is in doubt what to choose when
she is bewildered by the sulphur, pur-
pie, bronze and red shades offered
would do well to rapidly retreat to-
ward conservatism and choose a hat
of black satin that has little trimming
and owes its beauty to its shape.
Such hats are not what they used
to be. They are distinctly Of this sea
son. The shape is rather stiff. with a
low crown and a two-inch brim which
rolls slightly back at the edges; over
this the satin is stretched and finished
at the seams with a cord or a piping.
There are no folds or bows or full
crown bands; all is as smooth and de-
mure as a mans silk hat. The trim
ming is placed fiat on the brim and is
made up of any kind of feather that
has spirals and looks struggling and
careless.
The best known choice is a feather
called numidie and which is more or
less expensive and very fashionable
The peacock feathers are on this or
der and that is one of the reasons
why they have returned to favor
Straw and wheat are also used. and
whatever does not lie fiat on the brjm
stands insolently erect in the middle
of the front or back.

HOW TO TREAT PIMPLES AND
BLACKHEADS

For pimples and bIackheads the fol

do not rub. Wash OF the 'Cuticura
Ointment in five minutes with Cuti-

BLOUSE CUT IN ONE PIECE
One of TuIIe VaIenciennes Is Made
With Neither Trimming Nor
FuIIness.

The newest cream white blouses are
moro plain than ever. The prettiest
are tulle valenciennes, or a kind of
soft point d'esprit with figures like
those IL the valenciennes design. One
blouse of this material has not the
slightest trimming or fuIlness except
in the back, where there is a tiny bit
to cover the opening and make it look
like a narrow plat. The entire thing
is made in one piece the sole garnish
being little button studs Of black vel
vet in two rows at the throat, both
back and front, and on the wrists.
The neck is cut low and round. with
cOrding of the lace in three rows.
A noticeable feature of this blouse.
which was designed in a house in the
Place NendOme and intended for the
Riviera, is the sleeves made all in one
piece, with no extensions whatever 1t
is as though the entire thing had been
nodded together. No doubt the styles
for the coming season will adopt ideas
seen in this blouse. We have arrived
at a period when cuts and finishes are
at their cresendo of plainness. Moth
ing further is possible because effects
could not possibly be any more rigid
or simple.

Curtains of Fine Net

It has always been possible to get
coarse nets in crude colors. This year
one of the. fine nets has appeared in
soft artistic shades that are a delight
to the eye; old blue, mulberry, brown,
light blue, and pink are a few of the
coIors. 1t is so inches wide and sells
for so cents a yard 1t will make
satisfactory substitute for two sets
of curtains, combining the transpar-
ency of the white net and the color of
silk or linen, says writer for the
Pictorial Review. The bungalow nets,
also colOred, are very effective The
designs are large and there are usu-
ally two cOlors in the design. One
is gold and cream, another brown and
gold. a third two shades Of old red.
another blue and ecru, ETC. These
are so inches wide, and sell for $50.

The Summer SiIo.

The use Of the siIo throughout the
year is finding favor with many stock
keepers 1t is quite difficult to obtain
a profit on pasture which is on land
worth $4,000 or more per acre. Dur
ing droUth seasons, the pasture is
often so poor that it affords little or no
feed, but the interest on the invest
ment, and the taxes must be found.
There is no question but what the use
Of the silo for summer feeding will
make rapid gains during the next few
years and will soon come into common
use. The millions of tons of corn
stalks and rough forage which are
now annually going to waste will find
use in the form of silage and will
make possible not only a cheaper pro-
duction of stock and stock products.
but will also make it possible to at
least double the profit of stock raising.
Farmers who are complaining of low
profits from cattle, should make a
study of the silo, as they will here find
a means to increase their profits and
do this with less labor. The silo is a
forage bank which if put into general
use will have a vast amount of valu-
able feed and bring great wealth to
our people.-A. l. Hacker.
The Hays free press. [volume] (Hays, Kan.) 1908-1924, 1913-04-12
siIage From Forage Plants.

Besides corn, excellent siIage may
be made from alfalfa, clover, oats and
peas, rye, sorghum, kafhr-corn, millet
and milo maize. While corn is the
principal crop for silage, it is often
found advisable to make silage from
other plants. especially during droutn
seasons, when excellent sorghum and
kamr-corn can be grown as a catch
up. The first cutting of alfalfa hay
during a wet season is often lost. This
could be put in the silo and saved, and
by feeding out during the summer
months, the silo can be refilled in the
fall with corn and kafhr-corn.
During recent years, we have noted
a steady increase in the price of hay,
in fact all forage has commanded a
very high price. and it is necessary
for the stock keeper to produce a for
age at less money than hay if he
wishes to realize a good profit on his
stock In this capacity the siIo comes
as a great boom
