The chief colors come from. the
dress OF the Indians The children and
srown-ups wear he same costume,
and even the babies are clad like their
parents. The men and boys have on
pOnchOs which cover the upper parts
of their bodies. The poncho is a blan-
ket of the brightest colors, with g
short slit in the middle through which
the head goes, SO that the cloth rests
on the neck and the poncho is an
embroidered vest. and the suit is
completed by pantaloons that reach
halfway down the calf and are slit
up to the knees at the back. Many
Of the Indian men are b~arefooted, and
many wear sole-leather sandals tied
Oh with strings. The most Of them
have on little felt hats with round
crowns. and under them knit flaps
that cover the ears and fall to the
shoulders.
The women also wear hats of much
the same shape and some Of them are
bare headed All are barefooted
They wear gay blankets pinned around
their shoulders, covering a white Wais
or vest. They have very full skirts
red, yellow. pink, green. or blue
Everything issof the grandest nature
and the cheap dyes of Germany have
aided i'll making the hucs and tint
swear at one another.

ChOlos and ChOlas and the Cholitos.
The ChOlaS are the women, and ChOli-
tOs is a semi-affectionate term for the
girls. The Cholos are the mixed breed
made by the crossing Of the Spanlard
and the Indian. The ChOlo men dress
much as we do, but the women and
girls have the same costume they nave
had for a generation or more. They
delight in delicate colOrS, and seem
to have robbed the gorgeous Andean
sunsets for the tintS of their shaWis
and dresses. They lave skirts OF rose
red and s%ky-blue. and not a few have
short dresses as red as the sun at it's
setting. They have shaWls Of the
finest of silk OF the most delicate
they stand out over the skirts, which
hues, and these are SO draped that
are propped out with hoops. The
ripe curve OF the calf, whose plump
| ness is brought out by the high shoes
Of white, cream or blue kid, that form
the fashionable footgear. The Choln
shoes have very high heels. They
| are buttoned high up, but are always
tied at the top by a cord with a tas-
sci that hangs half way to the an
kle.
The girls have white straw hats
with tiny black bands around the
crown and bows on one side. n
bands seem to be pasted on to the
streaks and sometimes they are merely
straks OF black paint. AS the Choll-
to struts along the street on her
high heels she rests her hat raklSh-
ly on one side OF her head and walks
with q swing. Sometimes she firts
her skirts q little to show her green
or blue ~colored stockings: n often
you notice that she has no stockings
at all and that what O thought
was knitted hose Of r~ose-Colored SILK
is the h2re, rosy pink Of the leg.
The Choio women are very proud
of their admiXture of white blood.
They hin themselves above THEN
Indian sisters. and look down upon
1 the women who wears a blanket and
sandals. They ere brighter than the
Indians. Many OF them are traders
who buy and sell in the markets, ano
they do much of the retail business
of the Bolivian capital, having sinai
stores and saloons. Not q lew are

About thirty Of the friends and
neighbors Of Mr.. and Mrs. Ava Brown
gathered at their home at Pleasant
View Farm, southeast of the city,
last Saturday evening, to remind Mrs.
Brown that her birthday had come

Of the ever popular surprises" they
did not tell Mrs. Brown that they were
coming, and the first of the company
found her just ready to start for an
other neighbor's, where she, with sew
eral other ladies, had planned to
spend the evening. or course they
were $50 sorry to keep Mrs. Brown

when few minu,es later the other
ladies' with whom she was to 70 came,
She told them she had company, but
they'd better go just tie same.
They decided to stop and visit q
little while before going on. She was
unsuspicious until Miss Johnson, the
lady she had promised to spend the
evening with, arrived, then she "be-
lieved there was something in the
wind"
The evening was spent in playing
progressive card games, after which
lunch was served, Mrs. Brown dem

TEST YOUR SEED CORN

There is a great deal Of dead seed
corn this spring. It is likely that in
your corn there are many dead ears,
perhaps fifty per cent. At the Nj
we have tested about five thousand
ears, and in some lots we have found
the termination as low as thirty-five
per cent, while others have gone as
high as ninety-five. The surprising
feature Of these tests was that in
many cases the best appearing corn
was dead. Many ears that would have
been passed as perfect in termination
have been entirely dead. If you do.
not have time to test your corn, it will
pay you to hire it done unless you are
sure your corn is either all dead or
all live.
The problem Of testing corn for
farmers has presented itself at the
agricultural department Of the NJ.
We have found that we can not test
more corn free, simply because we do
not have the help, however much we
wish to test the com. But there are
few very competent students who
have had considerable experie6te in
this work and who will gladly do this
work for q small sum. Please UNDER
stand this is not . money making
proposition for the school, but is
merely giving 4 few honest young
men employment. If you wish your
corn tested, bring it in and we will
test it for you in this way, and assure
you an accurate test. But whether
you bring it in be sure and test your
corn. 1t will pay better than anything
you can do ut this time of year.

Homer D. Brown Brings Note Of
Optimism In His Annual Fore
cast for This
Section.
HE SUGGESTS SPRAYING
Wants OrchardIsts to Follow Example
Of Orange Growers and Cut
and Spray Trees
Oftener.

The general outlook for fruit in
this section is fine, said Homer D.
Brown, of Hamilton, this morning.
Mr.. Brown is the expert on fruit for
this section of the country and his
forecasts each season are looked for
with interest. Mr.. Brown is optimis-
tic over the prospects at the present
time. He suggests, however, that
spraying be not neglected.
Il would suggest as a precaution-
airy measure" said Mr. Brown, this
morning, that the trees be trimmed
and sprayed If you want a big crop.
If the fruit growers would take care
of their trees in the same manner In
which the orange growers do theirs |
believe better results would be had. I
have just returned from the south
where I have watched their efforts
along this line.
THE people in the south depend to
a great extent on their state bureaus
of agriculture for help and advice
and formclaes for the spraying OF
trees. We have state department

pie to take their troubles. You peo-
pie in Iowa have a similar depart.
ment. Write them and they will help
you out"
Mr.. Browns prediction as to a good
outlook applies to apples, pears, cher
ries, peaches and plums, he said. In
fact, to all of the fruit trees common
to this section Of the country. The
attacks of insects Or sudden changes
in temperature or in conditions gener.
ally would have some influence on
the crop, of course. but the general
conditions are considered quite good
The real test for apples comes OF
course, when the trees are blooming
and fertilization commences. This
will tell the story for this crop.
Robert H. Hart, superintendent OF
the Lee county farm, who was in
the city yesterday, said the present
weather is retardng the sowing OF

For fear you have not noticed de-

am going to tell you about them.
Make a box Of wide boards to fit any
windows YOU choose. Tack screen
wire on both inside and outside. Trap
will be as thick through as the boards
ara wide and as large around as the
window opening. Instead OF lacking
the screen wire on smoothly, lay it
with sharply pinched folds, punch
holes two inches apart and large
enough for a fly to crawl through. In
irving to get in or out Of the window
the fly will walk up until stopped by

small hole and is safely inside. These

windows are darkened. and can be

Children Best Helpers.

Ell you need an ordinance to control
the breeding places. your city attorney
and mayor are already interested.
You must have the support OF the
newspapers, and the school children
are your best helpers in carrying: out
the work. have found an early CAM
paign, using the school children, very
effective. We distributed cards read
ing (child's name) has killed-fies
during the month ending-,signed by
parent or guardian. These were col
lected by the teachers once a week
and other cards given out. The teach
ers were provided with envelopes, and
each week cards were sealed and
marked with grade and building and
then carried by child to the member
Of the fly fighting committee who had
charge of the school.
There should be small committee
in each school district. Workmen's
time books or paper ruled both ways
will make good rolls on which to keep
the score. Druggists will always give
swatters to each pupil with advertis-
ing on handles. The city or club has
usually given prize to the child in
each school building who killed the
most flies. This is an especially good
plan for getting the first flies in the
spring, and so preventing the breed
ing. At first the children often kill
only one or two flies a week. but you
see how much it means in every home
where school children live.

"Head Them OFF" Campaign
Throughout Various
States.
CHILDREN BEST HELP
Must Guard Against Speculation In
ii the Campaign Where Bounty
10 Offered for
Pests.

The public health committee of the
General Federation of Women's clubs
is starting the campaign against flies.
A head them off campaign" it has
been called. Through Mrs. John A..
Nash of Ottumwa, chairman OF the
health committee Of the Iowa fedora
ton, the general federation is arous-
ing enthusiasm for the fly campaign
In Iowa Mrs. Nash has receive the
following Letter from the general fed
Grafton committee:
III We wish to have head them of
fly campaign instead of kill them off,
we should begin right now before the
flies warm up and creep out of their
winter quarters. Suppose you write
circular letter to the clubs of your
state doing any civic work and make
suggestions for the spring clean up
and fly campaigns. Food soon will be
exposed to street dirt and flies if the
women do not prevent it.
"A few weeks ago was invited to
neighboring town to help start fly
campaign I found we were to have
luncheon at downtown hotel at
which plans were to be formulated,
then citizens meeting in the after
noon with speeches disclosing plans.
At the luncheon given by
the club were the president
and chairman of civic work
the mayor. city attorney, city physic-
ian, president of the chamber of COM
merce, superintendent Of public
schools. editors of two daily papers,
two professors from the state univer-
sity, and myself. AS we ate we talked
and then took an hour afterwards to
settle the plan of procedure. All the
local people promised their cordial
support. This struck me as exactly
the right way to begin such work.
