Swimming Is not a negligible part OF
their training. and they take to water
like little ducks.
The three suits shown In the illus.
tration are suited to girls OF all sizes
That on the nearly grown miss at the
center might be made for a youthful
but grown-up woman. But these mod
els are for children and young girls.
The tiny miss at the left has on a
simple and sensible garment, which is
a yoke to which a bifurcated skirt is
plated. The skirt Is bifurcated at the
middle, forming boomers that are
drawn into the legs about the knee
with elastic cord. The garment Is cut
long enough so that the boomers fall
over the knees.
There is a white collar and four-in-
hand tie, and the short sleeves are
finished with bands of white. The
shoulders are very long. and the
sleeves reach a little below the elbow.
Mohair is about the best material
for these suits, because II sheds the

SHOULD GET LARGER CROPS
American Farmers Might Largely In
crease Their Production Through
Scientific Methods.

Our Pennsylvania Dutch are gooo
farmers, but not SO good as their rela-
tives In Germany. For every bushel of
wheat a Pennsylvania farmer produces
from one acre the German grows two
and tenth bushels.
His farm is small. but the man who
delves beyond the Rhine makes each
acre produce exactly twice as many
potatoes as do our farmers.
The man who bows to a kaiser in
stead of president extracts just q
half more oats and over a third moro
barley and about so per cent more rye
from each acre than does the improvi-
dent American.
The man who has but a dollar can
live for long time on 1t. whereas the
prodigal can waste a $40 bill ON one
dinner. The German has so little
ground that he makes 1t work doubly
hard.
When the United States has 200,-
100000 population our farm production
an acre will likely have doubled from
sheer necessity.-Public Ledger

The berries should be handled care
fully and rapidly when marketing.
Picking should be done In the cool OF

the hand at one time. Never expose
the fruit to the hot sun.
During the last few years quite a
number OF growers of red raspberries
In various sections have experienced
considerable disappointment, some
suffering almost the total loss OF their
crop. The yield of berries was not
only below normal. but the berries
were not fit to put on the market
The cause Of the injury Is small
brown beetle. belonging to the same
family as the buffalo carpet moth and
the museum pest. This one. however,
has the unusual habit of combining it's
attack to living plant tissues. instead
OF feeding on animal fibers and tissues
as Its near relatives do. This small
beetle. the raspberry byturus. feeds
upon the young leaves and buds OF the
raspberry and the larvae develop in
the head upon which the berry Is
borne, causing the affected berries to
ripen earlier. and this tends to make
them small and unfit for market
The injuries are severe, but are
usually confined to small and some
what local areas.
In one report, June is given as
the time the insects commence their
work and other reports give May as
the month. The following information
In regard to the insect will be of In
