are three conferences uniting. Be-
sides preachers from other states,

already mentioned are among the
leaders of the forces of the church.

work.
Meetings will be held every day
from early morning till late at night.
Ii is not to be expected that this
gathering OF earnest Christians will
present To the people the character of
a picnic or a ten days outing, and re-
creation, but rather a mighty effort
TO bring men and women from the
thraldom of moral darkness TO light.
and from the power of sin and Satan
into the liberty of the people of God.

salvation of souls.

LONG TUN|C TAKES
ENTIRE COUNTRY BY
STORM THIS SEASON
IMMACULATE FASHIONS KEY
NOTE OF WELL DRESSING
IN HOT SUMMER

The attractiveness Of summer cos
tunes lies largely in their immaculate
freshness. often a dress Of cheaper
material will be of greater satisfaction
because OF it's well -laundered cripness
than a more expensive frock. Lawn,
swiss, linen and ratine are charming
made up in simple. stylish manner,
and, if worn when fresh and crisp
from the ironing table, will give the
wearer as dainty an appearance as
milady in expensive silks and chiffons
who may wear a gown but once and
lay ii aside forever
1t is foregone conclusion that
women are dainty, and if daintiness is
lacking SO is feminine charm.
The long tunic skirt has taken the
country 10y storm. So sudden and
unexpected has been its popularity
that the shops have been unprepared
for it. The manager of a well-known
shop, where only ready-made suits
and costumes are sold. said that if the
furore had come any earlier than il
did it would have put them out of
business.
A variety of fabrics are being used
for childrens frocks. Among them is
crepe, which makes charming little
dresses that have an added attraction
in that no ironing is required to make
them presentable. After they are
washed, if they are wrung and pulled
and smoothed into shape. they are
ready to put on as soon as they are
dry.
For play dresses and rompers,
select the heavy. firm quality. II is
called English or japanese crepe. and
comes in number of alluring colors.
such as Dutch blue. buff odd pinks.
and green's. These will be found ser
viceable and are usually made into
little frocks which hang from the
shoulders and are belted with a wide
belt. or sash, of the same or contrast
ing color.
For everyday afternoon dresses
plisse crepe may be used. This comes
in quaint and old-time designs, espe-
cially cunning when made up with
long waists and short. fluffy skirts.
A two-inch strip Of the material may
be corded on either edge and used for
the connecting belt Of skirt and waist.
Wolfe and net take first place for
the little girls best dress this summer.
These are usually worn over slips OF
pink or blue wash silk. Even for the
tiny girl net is used. slightly corded
and braided. tucked and embroidered.
In these little dresses the fashions
which dominate Mammals dresses
soon find their way in modified form
into the fashions for the child. So
Mothers tunics have become double
skirts for the little daughter and the
waistcoats have given waistcoat eff

Poor Farming a
Future Menace

I'm twenty years we will all be on
the bread line. and in fifty years a
famine will grip this land of ours, un-
less we change our agricultural tao
tics" declared H. III. Cross, of Chica-
go, president of the society for the
increasing Of Soil Fertility in a speech
before the Woman's Dining Club at its
monthly banquet at the Coates House,
Kansas City.
THE population of the United States
is increasing at rate that is altogeth-
er out of proportion to the develop
ment of the farming tracts" Mr..
Gross went on. This is the only ma
ton on earth where rich and poor eat
the same kind and quality of food
stuffs. We are vastly better situated
at present for such standards than
Europe. but rapidly drifting back to
the level of the European peasantry
because of a widespread deficiency in
frugality.
Unless something is done to in
crease the productiveness of the farm
lands now under cultivation, making
the acres produce twice as much as at
present, our farmers soon will be no
better off than those of China.
1T is a fine thing to boast of the
great fertility of our land but the
fact remains staring us i'm the face,
those who work the soil are slipshod
in their methods. The people of
France, for instance, live on what we
throw away.
Whenever | come to a city like
Kansas City and my attention is called
to the great number of farmer youths
who have left good opportunities be-
hind them TO cast their lot with the
city-dweller, / feel as though all is
not well with the nation as it might
be. The place for virile young men
is on the farm raising crops. This is
an age of science, and intellects are
more needed i'm rural districts than
in municipalities There the problems
of our future life are to be solved and
it must be done by good sense rather
than unbridled ambition for better
things to eat, drink and wear
my ambition is to bring the college
to the farm. Long ago it was demon
strated that not enough young far
mers go to agricultural colleges tC
make the proper showing later on
Some of these students grow fond OF
living in crowded communities while
away at school and never return
others acquire habits of idle dissipa-
ton. The only thing TO be done ther
is to teach the farmer at home.
81 have had the honor of being the
Trainer of the bill. recently signed by
President Wilson. which places q
model farm in every county. / think
this bill means more than the free
tolls and the tariff bills. 1t is Of vita
importance, destined TO have cumu-
lative bearing on the welfare OF Amer
leans not yet born.
"On the American farm the average
yield of wheat is fourteen bushels tC
an acre. In Denmark the average is
forty bushels. If scientific farming
goes into general effect another ter
years will see the productiveness OF
the farms of this country doubled and
twenty years will see it quardupled.

In order to dance the new dances
gracefully the feet must be comfort
able Many have tried To launch the
dancing slipper without heels, on the
ballet variety, but except among a
very few this has not been successful.
But heels are lower and toes are
broader throughout the whole shoe
realm.
Colored uppers for shoes, or colored
stockings with low shoes, are quite the
expected mode. The low shoes also
have colored uppers and backs in cafe

The oxford has come into fashion
again. and rivals the English pump.
In the country these are worn with
leather thongs instead of the silk laces
or ribbons. Plain silver buckles are
correct for wear on the low shoes,
while the latest thing i'm ribbons for
low shoes is the vanished shoe rib

we have borrowed from the Parisien-

In childrens shoes for summer the
sturdy little strapped slipper holds
first place for the little tot, and for the
older child the oxford in black and

NEW MEXICO STATE FAIR.
Second Edition Of Premium Book
Necessary This Year.

Albuquerque.-For the first time in
the history of the New Me3ieo state
fair at Albuquerque, second edition
of the fair premium book has been
made necessary. The premium books
were issued early this year. The lists
carry a total of more than $4,000 in
cash prizes for agricultural and live
stock displays alone, and with the
best year on record on both farm and
ranch. the demand from prospective
exhibitors has been enormous. The
new edition is now being printed and
Secretary Tom Binkert at Albuquer-
que announces that those who desire
the book should make application at
once.
The fair commission is gratified at
the statewide spirit of cooperation
shown this year. Every section Of the
state Is showing lively interest in the
success OF the fair and especially In
the exhibit departments. Fourteen
county and local fairs to date have
fixed their fair dates just prior to the
state fair, Oct to 10. 30 that the
pick OF exhibits at the local fairs may
be taken to the state exposition. and
the number of individual exhibits will
be double that of any previous year.
The largest agricultural exhibit ever
held in the state was at Albuquerque
in connection with the national irriga-
ton congress. The state fair exhibit
this year is now certain to exceed that
exhibit both in size and character Of
the exhibits.
