SEASONS COLOR is YELLOW
skiIlfuily Handled, as II Must Be, II
Is Becoming to the Average
Wearer.

Yellow is much seen In these days.
Last spring yellow was first extensive
ly used in lingerie. Ribbons of yell
low were run into all sorts of under
wear and negligees. Then yellow
and crepe de chine we're used for the
making of rest robes and petticoats
and chemises and night gowns Vel
low waists of chiffon and crepe de
chine were next worn. And then eve
ming frocks and afternoon frocks of
yellow appeared There are oven
some yellow tweed street suits. Vel
low is usually becoming color, If it
is skillfully handled. But there are
not many skins that are improved by
coming into direct contact with yell
low. This fact is now understood by
most dressmakers. In almost all the
gowns and blouses OF yellow there is
a generous use of cream OF white
tulle at the throat. There is usually
touch Of black somewhere on these
yellow garments. A little black vel
vet at the wrist or elbow or belt, or
a knot of black in the drapery Of the
skirt, gives character to the color that
might otherwise seem monotonous.

Push Immature AnImaIs.

All immature animals should be kept

Feed for Pigs.

Some pigs require more feed than
others, and It is not easy to gauge the
daily ration to each. One-third pound
of ground corn is a good proportion.
and a little bran or middlings may be
added with little oilmeal OF either
kind. Feeding this carefully, the feed
err will soon see how much should be
given Mt time; no more than they
will eat is good rule. Bran and md
dlings are best for brood sows to far
row, and very little cornmeal. but
ground oats may be added to the
Sran, about one-third of the latter.

THE LITERARY HOBO
WHO VISITED

Nicholas Vaehel Lindsay, hobo
poet, who, a little over a year ago,
tramped ros Audrain county in
ms literary wanderings through
this and neighboring states, has had
his book, Adventures While Preach
ing the Gospel of Beauty" published
by Mitchell Kennerly, of New York.
Mr.. Lindsay who reminds one Of Da-
vid Grayson, will be recalled by
those who met him here at the time.
Lindsay had a small booklet COOS
pei of Beauty" to be preached and
sung with Rhymes to be Traded for
Bread" by a Twentieth Century Trou
bador. He did not follow the rail-
roads, but the highways, and the in
PRODUCTION to his booklet said, in
part:
Il come TO you penniless and afoot
TO bring a message. | ara starting a
new religious idea. The idea does
not say mo" to any creed that you
have heard. . > After this, let the
denomination to which you now be-
long be called in your heart "the
church Of be~auty''or church of open
sky" > = . The church of beauty has
two sides: the love Of beauty and
the love of God"
After a hard day in the Kansas
wheat fields, Lindsay finds time to
preach his Gospel of Beauty as the
following written when worn and
tired from his labors shows:
For all men dream in Kansas
BY MONDAY and by night,
By sunrise yellow, red and wild
And moonrise wild and white.
The wind would drive the glitter
ing clouds,
The cottonwoods would Groom,
And past the sheayes and through
the leaves
Came whispers from the moon.
