CABBAGE ACREAGE
CUT, BUT ONION
LAND INCREASED
Late Rains Have Brough. Sufficient Mois-
ture to Ground TO Carry Valley Farmers
to January I Without Necessity Of Re-
sorting to Irrigation.

The cabbage acreage throughout the
Lower Rio Grande Valley has been largely
cut this year. but the acreage planted {"
onions has been greatly increased. accord
ing TO the observation of Rex r. Willard of
Brownsville, agent Of the farm management
division Of the United States department at
agriculture. : Mr.. Willard said today that
he could not estimate the decrease in the
acreage of cabbage, but that a trip through
the Valley convinced him that many farm
ers arc planting less cabbage this year and
many who have not therefore, grown onions
are beginning, while other onion v
are in%creaging their acreage.
In the Mission section, especially, stated
Mr.. Willard, the farmers are greatly en-
thusiastic over onion prospects. \ good
crop Of this product was grown IN hat
section last year. and the returns were
fairly satisfactory. One farmer near Mis-
sion recently sold hi seed onion beds. COW
ering about two acres, for Sis, thus net
ting him a good profit before he had even
planted.
The recent heavy rains throughout this
section have not been harmful, but rather
highly beneficial, according 10 Mr.. Willard.
lie stated that there Is a good season in
the ground. and that unlcs, the weather be-
comes extraordinarily dry with no rain. the
Valley farmers will be able to 20 through
at least until the first 81 January without
being forced To resort To use irrigation wa
ter. The amount of moisture now IN the
ground will carry the cabbage and lettuce
well into the first of the year. but when
the cabbage begins u head il will require
a great amount Of moisture.
Mr.. Willard j. quite optimistic concern
ing farming conditions throughout the
Lower Valley Just at this time. Since re-
turning from q months stay al Washing
ton, ID. c., he has not had an opportunity
to make his usual automobile trips through
the Valley, but one or two short trips up
the river have shown enough To Indicate the
general condition of this section.
Early this week on the Theme farm near
San Bcnito. Immediately after the rains,
Mr.. Willard saw q patch Of new alfalfa
that had reached the p~rettiest stand he had
ever seen. The rains struck the alfalfa Just
at the right time. and brought about an cx-
%cellent growth that portends well for the
harvest of this valuable feed crop.

SAN ~FRANCISCO'S
NEW LAW WILL
CLEAN HOUSE

San Francisco. Cal. Dee. 4.-What i
believed Ia be the most effective weapon
Vet devised for the determination Of the
social evil IN American cities will be- placed
in the hands of the police aud public Of
san Francisco tomorrow, when the "rcd-
light" abatement law adopted by the voters
Of California al the recent election will be
put into operation for the first time in this
city.
Heretofore. when there ha> been 4 move
10 abolish San Franci~co'~ segregated dir
trirt. the chief argument against II ha~
been the difficulty of enforcement. Under
the new law it i not necessary tor the po-
lice to take the initiative. Any citizen
may act. and the evidence need not be con
elusive IN order that a warrant be- issued.
The citizen. by swearing that il j. his be-
lief than any portion of a house i given
ever to improper purposes. and b. putting
up a bond. can nave the whole house tenn
porarily closed. III a hearing demonstrates
the charge j. valid, the house can be shut
up tor a year-whether n lodging house or
the finest hotel in the city.
With the added power given them under
the new law the police have ordered the
tenants Of all known houses Of disrcpute
tn move out and have fixed tomorrow as the
tim limit for the evacuation. Many of
the owners Of property in the segregated
district. fearing that they might be de-
prived Of a years rental under the provi-
>i"ns of the new law have ordered the
present tenants TO vacate.

A RETURN to simplicity in lines
"a and style is promised in dress de-
signs for the coming fall season.
Prophets of fashion say that we shall
be governed by things military in the
matter Of clothes. We may therefore
expect shorter shoulder lines, straight
skirts, waistcoat effects, buttons and
braids In decorations. The poise of
the figure will change, and the proper
thing in carriage will also be mill
tary. That is, this will all happen IL
the %purveyors Of fashion are right in
their predictions.
But the transition from our loosely
hanging, easy-going garments Of to-
day will not be too sudden. The gown
pictured here shows signs of transit
ton. One first remarks in 1t the alb
sence of the long tunic and the disap.
pearance of any extra drapery in the
skirt. The skirt is, however, cut so
that 1t does not hang in straight
lines but has the effect of wrapping
the figure somewhat.

setin vest Of chiffon velvet, extending
from the under-arm seam to a point
a little above the swell of the bust,

sides toward the back in q sharp
curve. A short panel at the middle
of the back hangs from above the
waist line to more than half the
length of the plaitings below. The
body of the jacket is cut with the
shoulder in one piece, and the three
quarter straight sleeve is set iu with
a little fullness at the top. The jacket
Is finished with a rolling collar Of the
velvet held in place by small wires.

large buttons matching those used to-
decorate the front Of the skirt. By

Il wonder what she's doing now,
And IL she thinks Of me?
II wonder II she sits alone,
AS I am sitting here.
Where shadows which are dim are thrown
And there Is lack Of cheer?
II wonder If her heart Is sad
Because we rarely meet:
I wonder If she would be glad
II I knelt at her feet?
II wonder If she ever signs
For my impatient wooing?
I wonder If she aver tries
To guess what l am doing?
II wonder IL she evor frets
Because the hours are long?
I wonder If she aver let's
Herself indulge in song?
II wonder II she sits alone
And wishes she might place
Her little land within my own,
Her cheek against my face?"
While he sat musing she was freed
From every dismal thought,
And gladly let another feed
Her candy he had brought.

TWO very pretty bonnets which illus
! trate little frivolities Of headwear
in which the summer girl is privileged
to indulge herself are shown here. One
Of them, the beach bonnet, is pat
termed after the u bonnet of long
ago. But it is made of less substan-
tial materials and suggests a short
life and a merry n for It's own ex-
perfence. The beach bonnet Is also
a SUD bonnet to be put on tor the
practical purpose Of shading the eyes
anc face whenever the girl on an out
ing may need it.
These beach bonnets are made of
thin wash fabrics, such as dimity. fig
ured lawns. organizes. cotton crepes,
or any OF the semi-tfansparent fabrics.
They are trimmed with val laces. The
bonnet in the picture is made Of a
lavender lawn. The brim is stifened
with an interlining Of crinoline having
a fine thread-wire sewed about the
edge. It is trimmed with a band Of
the lawn edged with val lace. which
extends o the crown n forms
two rosettes at the front. The crown
is simply a puff Of lawn.
These little bonnets made as de-
scribed may be successfully %laundered
If they are taken apart and the work
very carefully done. In this cas- the
brims are to be a little stinened with
starch. But laundering is really not
counted il when they are constructed.
They cost next to nothing and the
same lace will serve on a new bonnet.
They are very pretty in lowered lawns
and In the quaint figured cotton crepes.
The brims must not be too stin. for
they are supposed to be "doppy" about
the face.
