The standing run, supported by
small wires, leads in popularity among
the novelties. 1t is shown in great
variety. made of lace or net with a

or other plating of lace or chiffon, all
| ready to use.
The bound edges of the net (after
the length of the ruff has been decided

Three very small wires are tackled in
at the back, one on each side and one
at the center. The run is finished
with narrow silk or velvet ribbon, as
shown in the picture. The shaded rib
bons are liked for this purpose.
Just below the ruff a pretty orna-
ment is shown which consists of a
small bow of velvet with little flower
forms of silk braid pendant from it
The velvet is in vivid color, as cerise
or emerald green, and the flowers in
pure white Silk with plush centers

ening at the front is finished with a
cluster of small ribbon roses in many
soft, delightful colorings. The semi
low neck is finished with a fold of
chiffon.
This is a pleasing gown, simple in
outline and in decoration. The dis
tinctly new feature in it is the en-
ployment of rows of beads for the
trimming and the bead strands as a
support for the side draping. The
wide hem in place of the regulation
three-inch hem is noticeable also in
the underskirt.
The design is suited also to the
many pretty voiles, challies and crepes
that are to be bought in sdch variety
and at such low prices. And with
some modification of the bodices this
dress may be suited to almost any age
The hair ornament pictured with it
is made of beads, supporting a tuft
of marabou feathers. Satin slippers
and silk hose, matching the gown in
color, make the completion of the toi-
| lette perfect. But there are beautiful
| slippers in black and bronze that are
just as effective with this simple
| gown.

and finished with fine Teneriffe lace
about the outside, edges. 1t is EN-
broidered in fine scallops about the
neck. This is one of the daintiest
patterns, and very durable. 1t is to
be worn with coats or dresses.
Below this collar is a bow made OF
tubing of crepe de chine. This is
pretty and easily made. The crepe de
chine is cut in narrow bias strips two
inches wide. The edges are laid to-
gether along the center of the strip
and tackled to place. This gives a
fold an inch wide. This is folded
again and the folded edges blind.

About two yards of it will be required
for the bow and ends. The ends are

A CHARMING and simple gown for

IS moderately full, plain, and finished
with wide hem. The overskirt forms
tunic drapery about the hips and

plaits at each side, forming festoon

An ornament in the form of a small
1isk made of opalescent beads, from
which ten strands of beads hang,

Ificient This is no more the fault
of the administration than if any
clerk salesman or mechanic would
demand raise" and quit his job
because 1t was not forthcoming.
And now comes Secretary of Labor
Wilson with the statement that his
department has been appealed to by
the grain growers for $4,000 men to
help harvest the crops. The farmers
are offering 50 and $3.50 a day and
board for harvest hands Hundreds
of college students have heard the
call and are hurrying to the fields.
Secretary Wilson is planning to ar
range with railroads to carry unem-
ployed from the East to the farms Of
the West. It is safe to predict on
these trains will be none of those
who are bowling loudest about there
being no work.
Whatever there is of non-employ-
ment is caused chiefly by the de-
preston of the iron and steel in
dustry, resulting from the failure Of
railroads, which use 81 per cent of
the steel products Of the country, to
place orders, Secretary Wilson be-
lieves. The reason the railroads are
placing orders is plain. They are
seeking an increase in freight rates. |
When. the interstate commedce COM
mission has ruled on the. application,
the railroad will place their orders.
This. irrespective of whether the
increase is allowed or disallowed.
If the, !, railroads are prohibited
from increasing rates, they will
do as Brandies suggests; like the
Louisiana sugar planters did
when deprived of the bounty; inangu-
rate more efficient and economical
methods. and continue to pay divi-
dents Oh millions OF watered stock.
1t is plain to all who see with UNI
eyes that there is no rea-
son for the cry of hard tines" that
there are no hard times" except in
the minds of those who would create
hard times for personal or political
The country is in better shape than
ever before. Crop prospects are ex-
celleat; demand for all products good
and labor is gradually obtaining its
share Of the wealth It creates.
Insofar as this Arkansas country is
it would never know

munication with the tariff-fed Re-
publican section of New England,
whose manufactures have for years

for the periods of depression through
which the country passes at intervals
and these explanations usually in.
volve financial systems, tariffs and
politics. It will be remembered that
recovery from panics has always
been marked by big crops. After
the panic of 1893 the first definite
sign of returning prosperity, ascrib-
ed by the politicians to the election
of Mckinley and the establishment of
the gold standard. came with the big
crop of 1896, which happened to come
in presidential year. Prosperity fol-
lowed the big crop and the big crops
of the succeeding years.
If financial depressions have hap
pened to follow poor crops, while
prosperity has happened to follow
good crops, there is warrant for be-
lieving that prosperity will happen
to return tn us this fall Not that
we are not prosperous in this part
Of the country. but the general con-
1itions throughout the United States
Ire not as good as they have been.

PHILOSOPHY OF WEDDINGS.

! The social philosopher, who inter-
ested in the ways of men and women,
sets out to analyze the human traits
seen in modern weddings, of course
finds the most abundant material in
June, the month of high tide of ma
lures beauty.
Perhaps the first impression is the
amount of horse play which the
humor leving American people toll
crate. Probably in no other country
do women in delicate silk gowns
crawl down dirty coal holes in order
to. get admission to churches where
notables are being married.
In no. other country are BRIDE
grooms Kidnapped. Nowhere else is
1t considered good form to pursue a
retreating couple to the hotel 1t is.
partly for this reason. partly on ac-
count of fuss and feathers, that
father and the bridegroom are grow
ing more and more favorable to
Opponents.
In the circles supposed to belong to
society" all the paraphernalia of
bridesmaids and flowers and spreads
and favors are but little outside the
regular machinery of life. They are
comfortably handled, if the price can
be raised or borrowed. But among
many simple hea1ed people,
splurge is made that Is remote and
foreign to the ordinary habits of life.
Houses are thrown into turmoil,
until father can scarcely find closet
free from encumbrance of fluffy bril-
dial material. After it is over, it is
found that the best damask Sofa is
ruined by mayon1aise sandwich. 1t
takes about year for the furniture
and decorations to recover.
Young men from the country make
furtive trips to the old clo' man to
hire dress suits. There is anxious
searching of the etiquette books by
the feminine element. Probably
more and more people are now
realizing the bad form of an elabora-
ton out of line with ones ordinary
habits. But great many people
spend more on weddings than they
can afford.

THE GENERAL CROP OUTLOOK,

THE GENERAL CROP OUTLOOK.
The general crop outlook for Texas
and for the United States, as indi-
Gated by the forecast of the Uaited
States Department of Agriculture, on
June s. showing the condition of the
crop on July l, justifies the most
optimistic feeling. Bumper crops of
grain are forecast. and the present
market conditions indicate good
prices for the big crops.
The wheat crop of the United
States is estimated at 100000, 900
bushels. as against an average for
the preceding flee years of 6S6,691 900
bushels. 1t was pointed out after
the issuance of the government re-
port that. notwithstanding the
governments estimate of probable de-
terioratiOn between now and the
completion of harvest. and figuring
on present appearance being MAIN
tanned. a total crop of 100000
bushels over the government predic-
ton is by no means impossible.
Wheat crops in Europe are In good
condition, but the government final
estimate for India is 1885, 900 tons, as
against 9,597.70O tons last season and
9,924.O00 in 1911-12. The wheat mar
ket is at the lowest point this year,
but September wheat is around 50
cents. which shows a healthy tone
for big crop year. The forecast
for the United States indicates crop
of 1,216,000.O00 bushels OF oats, as
against a five-year average of 1,131-
IFS. 900 bushels.
The crop forecast OF June s did not
include cotton and rice. The annual
rice forecast is not made until July,
for the reason that planting has not
been completed by June 1, and this
year the crop was unusually late on
June l.
The general crop outlook is one OF
the most satisfactory the country has
had In years. While the crop has not
VT been harvested. it is reasonable
to expect that average conditions will
prevail until the end of the harvest
The government forecast is predicted
, on average conditions. While it il
true that heavy rains or storms
might bring the yield of any one crop
or of all crops down to the ten-year
average, or even below it, 1t is also

TIE eApe.ise!, OF the common peOpie
through the Republican tariff policy,
anu opponents OF the Democratic aa-
mlnlstration have lost no opportunity
10 endeavor to place blame tor what
eyer business depression tnat has ex-
listed recently upon President Will
son and his policies-upol the DEM
ocratic policys Some OF these have
even gone SO far In their desire to
belittle the present administration as
to blame President Wilson and Secre-
tary Bryan for events over which
only the Almighty could have exer-
cised cont.ol.
The rantiags Of these calamity
howfers are given the lie by the
actual facts. AS President Wilson
said recently whatever business de-
preston there may be is due entire
~ to the attitude of business men.
an attitude based on unreasonable
timidity and not on fact. There has
been nothing to indicate that bust
ness would suffer serious injury, but
only that business, Big Business,
would be deprived of some of the
enormous profits it has gained in
the past through monopoly.
The attitude of Big Business re-
minds one Of that Of the Louisiana
sugar planter. At the beginning Of
the planting season, Mr.. Sugar
Planter calculated the profit he might
reasonably expect from the years
crop. IN the event that he calculat-
ed his profit ought to be 100000,
and it finally developed that his
profit was only $4,000, Mr.. Sugar
Plantey pulled a long face, going
about complaining that he had lost
$4,000.
In another way the Louisiana sugar
planter illustrates the fallacy of the
cry that business will be ruined by
the Democratic policy of tariff re-
form. For many years the govern
ment paid the sugar planters
bounty of several dollars per
ion. When the injustice of this
plan was realized and the bounty re-
moved. the sugar planter howled
loudly and long that the sugar bust
ness would be killed. But it wasn't.
The sugar planter continued growing
cane and continued reapiag profit.
He was compelled to adopt more eff
ficient and economical methods, but
that was all.
And now that the tariff has been
removed from some articles and re-
duced ON others, the manufacturers
interested are. putting up the same
cry to which the sugr planters gave
vent. But there is no danger. Like
The sugar planter, these manufactur-
ers will find that by economical
methods they can continue in bust
ness and sell goods in competition
With the gorld. And manufacturing
