are worn with this somewhat abbrevi-
ated garment A little greater length
and amplitude would improve the
skirt.
Fine plain organdie or dimity or
the best grades in lawn are suited to
the dress shown in the middle of the
picture 1t is also a one-piece slip,
with the fullness provided for by deep
plaits laid over the shoulders in the
back and front. The skirt is bor-
dered with a wide band at the bot
tom, of printed organdie, showing
plain and figured stripes alternating,
and the sleeves are finished with one
plain and one figured stripe of the
same material The figures appearing
in the border are calculated to capti-
vate the childish fancy. Conventional
figures. like snow crystals and much
conventionalized little dogs and birds
interpreted among them character
ize this bit of decoration, only suited
to a young child. The sleeves in this
dress are elbow length. The neck is
finished with band of the figured fab
ric. A round collar of princess lace
forms the finishing touch for this lit
tie dress-up affair. Half-length socks
and low canvas shoes are worn with
this as with almost all other summer
dresses.
In adapting these designs to Ameri-
can children they are improved by
cutting them knee length and allow
ing slightly more fullness at the bot
tom of the skirt.

UTILIZE SHADE TREE LEAVES
Leaf Mold Is Especially Valuable for
increasing Moisture Holding
Ability of Soils.

CBy B. o. LONGYEAR, Colorado Expert
ment Station.)
In most towns and cities autumn
brings with it the pungent odor OF
burning leaves. the smoke of which
settles like a choking pail over the
streets and homes. The yard clean
ing days Of spring are likewise
marked with the incense of smoking
vegetable matter that is being ere
mated along streets and alleys. In
stead Of smudging themselves and
their neighbors, the Inhabitants of our
towns who own shade trees can often
make far better use of the fallen
leaves by composing them. The high
degree of fertility usually noticed in
newly cleared lands which have been
covered with forests of broad-leaf
trees is mainly due to the abundance
of leaf mold which the soil contains.
This material is especially valuable
for increasing the moisture-holding
ability of light soils and for improving
the texture Of clay soils. Florists use
leaf mold, where obtainable, for mix
ing with their potting soils, and it is
of equal value In the flower bed. the
vegetable garden and the field.
In our semi-arid regions, leaf mold
does not readily form without a little
care being given to the matter. The
leaves may be stored in a large bin
in some shady or secluded corner of
| the yard, or even in a pit dug in the
earth They should be packed in
tightly and kept moist by an occa-
| sional wetting with the hose, or, if in
pit, from the irrigating ditch. They
may be spaded or plowed directly into
the garden
Leaves also form a fair substitute
for straw in bedding the horse and
will add to the value of the manure
for fertilizing purposes.
In case none of these uses can be
made of the fallen leaves, some local
market gardener or farmer who
knows their value may be given the
| privilege of hauling them away to
use on his fields or in the compost
heap.
| The older nations of the world
have learned to utilize every bit of
waste vegetable matter in some such
way, and although intensive agricul-
ture is perhaps not yet SO imperative
In this country, this utilization of dead
leaves is In line with the growing
sentiment for the conservation of soil
fertility

ONE of the loveliest of the new colt
" fures is pictured here. 1t is shown
decorated with an extravagant orna-
ment of paradise feathers, for eve
ming wear. The style is not elaborate
and might be adopted as one suited to
all occasions.
There is small pompadour of I'M
waved but fluffy hair extending from
temple to temple across the forehead,
with a very light fringe as finish.
The mass of the hair is parted in the
middle of the back and combed for
ward at each side. 1t is held loosely
and braided in two braids, which be-
gin at a point just above the ears.
These two braids require all the hair
excepting the ends of that portion
which covers the pompadour. These
ends are spread over the crown OF
the head at the back, concealing the
part, and pinned down to be concealed
by the braids.
The braids are brought across the
back of the head and are pinned to
place In hair of average length the
end of one braid will extend to the

Farming communities may be easily
sized up by the quality of their horses.
A mule is also an excellent saddle
animal If one well learns the trick
of saddling him.
The mule is the most tireless work
er on the farm, eats less than horse,
and does more work.
The fact that horse is imported,
does not add one cent to his intrinsic
value for breeding purposes.
Stick to the drafters and the heavy
carriage horses on the farms; they
are always salable, and will bring good
prices.
A mules age cuts little figure in a
sale. No one seems to care how old
a mule is. However, he will bring

beginning of the other, the two form
ing a double braid across the back OF
the head. But the arrangement of the
braids must depend upon the length of
the hair. Ii it is very long they will
be coiled and pinned down at the back
of the head or wrapped about it. The
feature to be noted in this couture
especially is the fact that the hair
is brought forward so that. the braids
begin above the ears.
To dress the hair in this way sue
cessfully requires that it be first made
fluffy. A small support is needed to
keep the pompadour in place. A
scant supply of natural hair may be
dressed in this way by using two short
switches in the braids at the sides.

No one point in the horse is more

His Teaching Is Plain.

II. The Second Question, v. 1888.
The rationalistic Sadducees, who did
not believe in the resurrection at all,
now try to entrap Jesus by question
ing him along the line of their particu-
lar doctrine The teaching of Jesus
is plain and unequivocal as to the res
direction of the body and the irnmor-
tally of the soul. Jesus seems in this
reply rather to ignore the first and
to strike at the second, which is more
fundamental. Their plan of attack
was very scholarly and philosophical
and was designed to show the absurd
ity of his teaching and thus by ridi-
cule. discredit his standing. 1t is al
ways a favorite way for those who
bubble to imagine suppositious case
| and then to put subtitle question. In
this case our Lord, by one sentence
demolished their well-planned attack.
''Ye do err, not knowing the Scrip
| lures, nor the power of God" Mar

of affairs only and not with the resur-
rection life. We who are worthy of

more duke 2o:36). but are equal to
the angels, e. g., in the Immortality of
their nature duke 20:30). More than
that we are SONS of God" (Luke
20: 36). These Sadducees accepted
only the Pentateuch, yet Of this which
they protested to accept they were
ignorant Here as elsewhere God def
nitely and repeatedly declares himself
to be the God of Abraham, Isaac and
Jacob. Jesus proclaims these men,
their patriarchs, as yet alive.
Jesus accuses them Of error in be
ing ignorant of these Scriptures. This
| ignorance was not among the un
learned and can be commonly dupli
Gated today among those who profess
to be scholars. Most especially do we
find a marked ignorance of ''the power
of God" Some Of these discounted
ones could not conceal their admira
ton of Jesus reply Uuke 20:39).
The Teaching. Jesus here shows us
the true relation of himself and of his
people to political questions He rec
ognizes the authority of human gov
eminent and it is his will that his fol
lowers shall enjoy the liberties OF
privileges which that government has
to offer; at the same time they are Il

The title of this lesson suggests
more than the portion Of Scripture Sc

This led the Pharisees to take coun-

third question.
Secret Methods.

This parable of the wicked husband
man Och. 21) seems to have been
clearly understood by the Pharisees
". 45). While it stung it did not
bring them to repentance. The hard
ening effect of unaccepted truth is one
of its most terrible results upon the
human heart The record tells US
plainly (ch. 1:46) why these Phari-
sees were withheld from at once put
ting Jesus out of the way. They
therefore resorted to secret methods
80 o,aaororod - hrir0 him into CON-
flict with the Roman government. The
Pharisees entered into this plot to en-
tangle Jesus with their most deter
mined enemies, the Herodian party
mark 1919. It was a good scheme
from their viewpoint to get Jesus to
utter something reasonable and then
to turn him over to Herod, who was
puppet of Rome. These Pharisees
scorned to pay taxes to this same gov
eminent with which they are now con-
niving. They began with words OF
smooth flattery ". 49,. The devil is
never so subtitle, so dangerous nor 80
malicious as when he flatters. Apart
from Jesus each party would have
given quite a different reply to this
question. In fancy we can see them
as they must have gloatingly ex-
claimed, Now we will see him en-
trapped" If Jesus declared it illegal
to pay tribute to Caesar they could at
once formulate charge of sedition
against him. On the other hand, for
him to declare it proper thus to pay
tribute to foreign government would
seem to them for him to deny his mes
sianic claim, according to their under
standing of the messianic program.
Calling for a Roman denarius, a
legal taxpaying coin worth about IL
cents, he asked, Whose is this image
and superscription? Caesars" they
reply, and by those words they have
caught themselves and not Jesus. His
reply was. in effect, Very well, you
accept the money of Rome, you must
by that act accept the responsibility
which accompanies It." Jesus first OF
all denounces their hypocrisy and then
exposes the folly of their question.

story of one of the most exciting games

took three five minute periods in an eff.

During the first of the extra periods
both teams made a basket and enthus.
iasm went wild, both teams being back.
ed by large number of rooters. The
game was finally declared ended by
the referee after sufficient evidence
that both teams were so equally match

would be futile. The local boys, con.
sidering the strong visiting team, con-
cider the result az if victory. It was
