(By M. COvERDELL.)

If the American farmer would make
more use of the tanning mill, his live
stock would get more real susten-
nance from pure grain, our grass and
grain crops would be of a purer
grade, and our fields would not be
seeded down to weeds every year by
the weed seeds passing through the
animals and being deposited in their
manure; then hauled out and scat
tered in this rich. seed bed over the
fields
If the farmers COWS sleep on q
frozen or snowy bed ct night and are
given single roughage ration
throughout the winter-what will the
cream harvest be? ~. -.
Don't be too liberal with feed where
whole herd of stock is fed together,
as some of them will mince over and
. waste it,>while others. will eat enough
to overload their digestive systems,
which also may be regarded as a
waste, as well as a danger to their
good health and proper. growth. j..

Don't hitch the colt to vehicle

ones life. and limb. ~l,f .
Don't forget to make a note of all
the trees that have died and been
removed from the orchard, so that
the same varieties may be ordered
with which to fill up these places.
If our farmers would but visit the
schools more, and thus see what prog
ress the boys and girls are making,
and help cooperate with them and
their teacher, we might reasonably
expect some beneficial reforms in our
present school system.

Gowns and Wraps That Glitter.

In brocades, velvets, silks and the
innumerable transparent materials
that accompany and complete them,
the rage for. gold color is all pervad-
ing. And in the. brooches the use Of
gold thread adds glitter which,
again, is one of the crazes of the sea-
son. Innings for coats are frequently
in gold broche, and the new .tunics are
often made of silver or gold tinted

thorough and exhaustive study OF the
causes of accidents and their proven

curlna Goose Feathers.

Goose feathers are often treated in
this manner: After being spread in
some clean, dry, airy place they should
be, turnedAover with a fork every few
days until thoroughly dried. If placed
in bags and well steamed, they are
more valuable, as the steaw has a
tendency to purify them, removing
much. of the oily odor they naturally
have-E. V. n

They are shown in the richest weayes,

there are attractive patterns to be

An elegant satin is employed in the
beautiful model shown here, and hand
some martin fur in the bands that
trim it. In a light golden brown, in
tan or gray, but, best of all, in ma

vocation. No longer do he and his

MUST VOTE IN STYLE
Or They Won't Go to the Polls at All,
Say Illinois Women.

81 haven't anything to wear and I'm
not going to vote," said young Ge-
neva housewife today as she beat a
hasty retreat from the polling place
toward which she was headed, and
went back to her home and babies.
Along thestreets Of Geneva automo-
biles were rolling toward the polls.
In them were women arrayed in their
finest gowns. There was more sar-
torial glory than Geneva had seen at
pink tea, card club or a reception
for years.
A few minutes after the polls were
open women voters greatly outnum-
bered the men. 1t was the first time
they had had an opportunity to exer-
else their franchise right since the
passage of the Illinois suffrage bill.
The issue was whether the kindergar-
ten now operated as private institu-
ton should be conducted hereafter as
part of the Geneva public schools.
The women of wealth, of whom
there are many in Geneva, were first
at the polls. Their automobiles had
been specially furnished for the occa-
