needed to help fill the growing
gap between government in
come and expenditure. The
second is the result of investi<
cations which the Department
OF Commerce has made into
conditions in tn g Louisiana
sugar fields and which are now
being extended to the sugar
beet states. 1t is reported that
tile figures collected by tn
government experts show that
the home sugar industry will be
badly crippled by the free adj
mission of foreign sugar. While
the President is not likely to
commit himself until the report
of his investigators are COM
pleted it is noteworthy th a t
most'of the talk eff a possible
amendm MT of the sugar tariff
comes from Democratic sources.
Taboos Hog Cholera "Cure"
A warning has been issued
from Washington against the
lat est cure for hog cholera,
which has been receiving much
praiseworthy comment from
the public press. The statement
of the federal government says
that lit has no reason to believe
in the efficiency of any proprie-
tary cure for hog cholera and
does not recommend it," Under
certain conditions it urg e d
farmers to protect their stock
with anti-hog0 cholera serum,
but that is all.

KITCHEN KINKS.

Bread will keep better in a
wooden box than in tin.
If silver spoons have become
stained by egg rub them with
table salt.
TO remove rust from a knife
plunge the blade into an onion
and leave it there an hour.
Then polish it in the usual way.
Before using new comb wash
1T in soapy water, and when
dry rub with a little olive oil.
it will then last twice as long.
TO remove blood stains, soak
the article in cold water, t o
which ammonia has been added
wash in warm water with nap
tina soap.
Flowers keep better in damp
sand than in water. Flowers
for the table may be more grace

jar of wet sand than i'll a foun-
dation Of moss.
Always sandpaper the soles of
baby's new shoes before they

Good fleece brings from AZ to
55 cents per pound. The weight
of a fleece in 1909 ave aged 81
pounds in Oregon; 1856 pounds
in Texas. In 1913, U. S. pro

now as good as that of Asia
Minor, home or angora goats.
There is but one drawback to
raising goats in Texas, New
Mexico and Arizona, and that is
the heat. This causes t h e
animals to shed if they are not
shorn twice year in many To-
calities. Since all marketable
mohair must be at least six
inches long, the practice of cut
ting twice i'll a year leads often
to short grade. Where only
one cutting is made a year the
fleece grows from Is to 20 inches
long with an average of lC

educational institutions in 1912.
OF these 32S were from ntl thern
states and twenty-three from
southern states. The number
of foreign students enrolled at
275 American universities, col

May Modify Tariff,
There is a growing impress
ion in well-informed circles here
that the tariff plans of the Ad-
ministration as embodied in the
Underwood bill will be modified
in one important particular al
least. The rumored change il
one that can be made very
easily if the President and Con,
gress are SO minded, for it will
consist merely in eliminating
the proviso at the end of Sche
dule B which declares that after
May l, 1916, sugar shall be ad
mitted duty free. Two factor,

New York, Oct. 23.--It is right
smart of a task to tell whether the
lady next you at the theater or fox
trotting past your table at a little
supper dance is an escaped circus
rider or just 1914 fashion model in
the new style of stripped gear. The
bareback rider effect is surely all
there, even if nothing else is.
The fabrics necessary for the form
ing of fashions favorite frock for
evening wear at present seems to be
q flounce or two of chiffon below the
telt, wisp of two above and a
strand or. SO of beads with a gen
erous splattering of spangles.
A pretty but circusy little dress
along these accepted lines is Of shrimp
pink chiffon. The skirt, which is very
full, is composed of one tunic falling
TO the calf and edged with banding

misses the floor by eight inches. The
straight lined basque-like girdle Of
shrimp pink satin extends just above
the bustline with a finish of the
ostrich feather fringe. Single strands
Of the brilliant passing over the
shoulders, keep it from slipping off
entirely.
Another model Of turquoise blue silk

with three founced skirt very full

with a wired band of odd little pur-

crushed net is festooned with gar
land of the pansies which passes
diagonally across the front and up
over the left shoulder.
The right shoulder is kept in sub
lection by loosely crushed length
of the net. Bands of black velvet
ribbon are very effective edging the
long tunics of chiffon and are par
ticularly popular and smart on black
and white creation.
With the skirt of white chiffon very
short and bordered with two rows of

Gov. johnson Proclaims
Pioneer Mothers Day

Governor Johnson's proclamation
naming Pioneer Mothers Day is as
follows:
II, Hiram w. Johnson, governor Of
California, do hereby designate Sat
urday the oath day Of October, as
Pioneer Mothers Day, to be observed
as tribute to the women of the days
OF '49, and in furtherance of the work
CT building monument which shall
grace the Panama-Pacific Information
al Exposition and remain an enduring
testimonial to the honor a grateful
state pays their memory.
at is proposed to raise fund of
$4,000 for this very worthy project,
and | wish to join in asking gen
erous response from all California, in
order that the sum may on that day
he made adequate"
California has at last come to the
front with a project to do worthy
honor to the women who helped found
the state in the gold days. From
one end of the state to the other,
Saturday is to be observed as Pioneer
Mothers Day, and, in accordance with
the proclamation Of Governor Johnson,
funds will be raised for the $4,000
statue that is to remain a bronze trib-
ute to the pioneer women,
Imperial Valley press., 1914-10-23

The collecting will be done by the
Native Daughters of the Golden West,
at the request of the Pioneer Mother
Monument Association, and they will
be assisted among others by the men,
hers cf the Panama Pacific Interna-
tional Exposition's Woman's Board
and its county auxiliaries.
To the N. d. G. w. parlor sending
ir. the largest amount there will be
presented reduced reproduction of
the statue.
When the fastener and the for
'eigner come to California not only in
1915, but every after, they will find
that Californians have done justice to
the early mothers, for the monument
is to he one of the most striking fea-
lures of the San Francisco exposi-
tons sculptural display, say the lead
ers in the plan.
1t is the work of Charles Crafty,
whose art is famous in Europe as well
as through America.
In the preparations for this work,
Californians of all categories and ages
have participated, among the most
prominent being the Native Sons.
Pioneers and school children, club
women, society leaders, and others in
virtually every county have given
their support to the movement having
its climax in Pioneer Mothers Day.

WHAT A WOMAN CYCLIST
SAW IN FRANCE
Especial, Dispatch by the International
s News Service.)


n@ News Service.)
Paris, Oct. 17.-An Englisnwoman
who has been on bicycle tour through
q part of France, has written the fol-
lowing account of her experiences:
"The schoolmaster brought me my
sauf-conduit duly signed by the mayor
and sealed with the great communal
seal. He shook his head grimly.
they may turn you back he said,
but you must not be annoyed
promised not to be annoyed even if
they shot me. He does not think it
will come to that, but-enfin.
"My reason for bicycling to Aux
ere today is that our household is
reduced to rs. in cash and I'd. in
stamps, and, for lack of clerks, the
local branch of my bank has been
closed. But la guerre CONNIE la
guerre. Riding 60 miles to cash a
check, or perhaps not to cash it, is
nothing in these moments.
"A cool grey morning that will de-
velop into glaring day. 1t is al
though getting hotter as I pass
through charming Tonnerre and climb
the steep edge of the Clipped saucer
in which it lies.
"From the crest of the ridge l
look out on land of Goshen; great
plains rolling down to deep-wooded
valleys and up again to purple hori-
IONS; grey-walled, red-roofed villages,
smuggling into their nests of trees;
corntields and vineyards. The world
swims in clear, clean atmosphere,
blue in its intensity. Women, chill
dren and greybeards, with horses that
for their age or youth the Commits
sariao has neglected, are at work on
the harvest. And the work goes we'll.
Am = not something of connoisseur?
Are not my hands all blisters and
scratches? Can l not now pitch a
