The Separate Coat.

The separate coat this year has at
tanned more popularity than it has for
u long period previously. This applies
not only to the more elaborate even
ing and afternoon wraps, which are
heavily furred, draped and delicate in
naturalization. but also to the wrap
that is worn over any frock.
In the new lace f1ouncings the mesh
is so fine one can hardly see it.
Silk and wool crepes are excellent
for the new types of plated gowns.
Large hats should be round and flare
slightly at the left side.
There are so many occasions at which
the topcoat of velvet will be correct
that the woman who goes out a great
deal should surely possess one.

Rooster Day, June 6.

Now that ELEM Day is past.
the next big day in the poultry
world will be Rooster Day, >
which will be observed on Satur-
day, June 6. Swat the RCost-
en-" will be a slogan on Rooster
Day. The rooster is the direct
cause of a loss TO Missouri farm
ers and poultry raisers alone of
fully three million dollars every
summer, d loss that could be
prevented by the simple expe-
dent of getting rid of the adult
male birds as soon as the hatch
ing season is over. 1t is the fer.
tile egg that spoils during hot
weather. An infertile egg will
keep for weeks, even when sub
jected to a high temperature for
weeks at a time. A general
observance of Rooster Day.
throughout the State will make
Missouri eggs sought after in
the fancy egg markets of the
world, and will add millions to
the income of our poultry raisers.
TO aid in the cause, the pro-
duce dealers of Mansfield have
agreed to pay s cents per pound
for all ROSTERS brought in on
Rooster Day." provided those
selling the ROSTERS will bring in
all they have or agree TO keep
penned up the ROSTERS reserved.
This is considerably above the
market price for ROSTERS, and
will mean a financial loss to the
dealers, but they are willing to
donate that to the cause. Swat
the rooster!
