that frog to jump. And you bet he did

Smiley said all a frog wanted was

"And Smiley said, sorter Indifferent

The simplicity which marks the two
hats already described is emphasized
in the beautiful draped turban shown
on the left. This hat is apparently q
length Of velvet with bias ends tied
about frame. This, at any rate, is
what its drapings suggest. But in
reality it is not quite SO simple as 1t
looks, and the fine hand of the artist
is shown in this management of ma
terials.
The frame is. in fact. draped with q
length of velvet which forms at the
same time its facing. But the point.
ed ends are made Of separate pieces.
These pieces are lined with silver
cloth and tied together with a single
knot. Yet they seem to be q part Of
the body Of the hat.

THE three hats which grace this
! page are entitled to be called
faultless millinery. And hat must
measure up to many requirements to
be SO classed. First of all, it must
be beautiful. then it must be per.

which 1t Is to be worn. and it must,
Of course. be up to the minute in style
and show the use Of new trimmings

THE most striking couture which
I made its appearance in midsummer
showed the hair brushed back from
the face, without curl or wave, and the
forehead entirely uncovered. Where
the hair is naturally wavy and the
forehead we'll shaped this style was
possible. But. even so. only youthful
wearers could carry It OF; It proved
generally unbecoming. Therefore the
new off-the-face coiffures are waved
and the hair brought down over the
forehead for little way, when such
an arrangement Is found to suit the
style Of the wearer.
The hair Is most conveniently
dressed In these new styles by parting
OF portion Of il all around the head
and waving 1t. This leaves the back
hair to be combed up to the crown and
coiled into support for the end of the
waved portion. A very small and
rather fat hair roll placed around the
head before the waved hair il combed
back will be found to support 1t and

In the illustrations here given are
the best examples Of of.the-face styles
In hairdressing. The back hair 10
turned under in the manner Of q
French twist but arranged quite close
to the head. These coiffures are spe-
cially adapted to the smaller hats
which are popular for street wear.
For wider brimmed hats the pretti.
est Of the new styles are dressed with
a small chignon at the back and short,
soft curls at Its sides. Even in the
close-fitting hat shapes brims turn up
ward at one side SO that the hair
shows from the middle of the forehead
to below the crown. In all coiffures
the hair may be without a part, or q
shallow part is made either in ths
middle or at one side. Each wearer
Is supposed to decide for herself az to
what suits her face best.

New Style Features to q Gown.

Is It now or Is 1t not new, Is tho
question asked Of every gown as it
makes its appearance. either at the be.
ginning, middle or end Of the season.
To have one new feature is not to be
new by any means. Argown must have
several to be thoroughly and complete
ly up to date. A gown Of satin with q
softly gathered tunic. q semi-fltting
basque; q coachman's cape and sleeves
and bodice Of chiffon bears the steamp
Of extreme chic.

Fitted eodicea Comma.

There seems no doubt now that by
autumn fitted bodices will be upon US.
Some Of the most authoritative frocks
for summer wear show decided signs
Of "nipping in at the waist line and
below the bust in front, and some
times this fitted effect is achieved
with the old-fashioned dart seams.

EVANGELISTS AND SLANG.

Why some evangellsts should
persist in using slang in an eff
fort to make their arguments eff
fective is as hard to fathom as
why the average saloon bum
should indulge in repulslve pro-
family and yulgarity. We clip
the following from the New Or
leans States:
"In recent sermon the Rev.
Billy Sunday describing the
Staying Of Goliath said: David
went down to the brook and
picked out some smooth pebbles.
He put one in his sling and
whirled it around his head and
fired it at the giant. The stone
hit the big stiff on the coco be-
tween the lamps and he went to
the mat for the count If the
Rev. Billy has an equal or su-
perior in the slangy interpreta-
ton of the Bible the individual
has not yet been discovered
Without knowing that Evange-
list Sunday has been quoted cor
rectly, We know that there are
many pulpit orators today who
are inclined to slang and coarse
expressions which could well be
dispensed with. Such as is quot
ed above may prove amusing to
r. certain class who flock to re-
vival meetings, but it is doubtful
in our mind if it ever saved a
soul.-L. G.. Times.

WILL STOP CHILD LABOR.

Vcational education i'll the
public schools will give children
of the upper grades and high
school ages something to do that
both they and their parents will
feel is worth while. One having
a vocational education himself
will not only want his own child
to have the right Of education,
but he will he citizen big enough
to want every other child to have
the right kind Of an education.
He will be big enough to see the
injustice of permitting any chill
dren to labor so hard or so much
as in any way to interfere with
their proper growth and educa-
ton. He will see to it that no.
where in vocational life must the
weak be allowed to come into
competition with the strong in

competition means the injury OF

THE VICTORY OVER TY-
PHOID.

Medical science seems almost
to have driven typhoid fever out
Of the army. A government re,
port by the surgeon general
shows that in 1909, there were III
the army, 173 eases of typhoid {,
with Is deaths; 142 cases with
10 deaths in 1910; 60 cases with
s deaths in 1911; q cases with 4
deaths in 1912 and for the first
six months Of 1913, no cases al
all. The figures represent con-
ditions not only in this country
but also in all the outlying terri,
tory where there are United
States troops. They show d
surprising decrease, especially IN
view of the fact that the army
was increased in the period COW
cred from $4,000 to $4,000.
It is the belief of the surgeon
general that the escape from the
disease is due to the protection
piven by anti-typhoid vacclna'
ton. Moreover, no illness, OF
even inconvenience was suffered
bv soldiers because of this vac
cinatiOu,

SOUTHWESTERN REFLEC-
TONS.

BY this time your land ought
TO be prepared thoroughly to
receive your pumpkin yam slips,
which should be planted by
MAY /. If YOU are going to
plant them for the market, get
them early and catch the fine
price that then first yams OF the
season brings.
The principle back of the
pumpkin yam propaganda Is,
Diversifcation. No section or
country was ever permanently

Death to any single crop system,
Break away from it, or it will
break you.
Another most profitable line
which no man who calls himself
a farmer should overlook is, the
breeding Of blooded live stock.
Stock breeding is a vital part OF
the agricultural industry, because
the best way to keep up the
fertility of the farm is to pro-
duce on it live stock and the
nitrogen bearing forage neces-
sary to maintain live stock.
Uairying has made great
States, like Wisconsin, Iowa and
Kansas rich. and has raised the
farmers Of those States from a
condition Of poverty into the
capitalistic class. 1t is a great
and fascinating industry, and
withal most profitable.
Then there is the breeding OF
beef cattle for the market. 1t
also has added many millions OF
wealth to the States of the Mid
die West, where farmers, instead
Of selling their grain and hay at
a small profit have converted it
into fat beef and grown rich
from the proceeds.
Every farmer in Southwest
Louisiana may DO likewise. Elk
perts all tell us that the abmd-
aAce and wide variety Of her
forage crops gives Louisiana n
pre-eminent position among her
sister States, from a live stock
view point.
But how about the cattle tick7
We must get rid Of them be-
