STATE NEWS IN BRIEF.

Fort Wayne-When the Hagenbeck-
Wallace circus reached Fort Wayne
yesterday morning it's force of can
vasmen and roustabouts was in a de-
cidedly "dilapidated" condition, owing
to the fact that the men went on
"tear" at Lima, O., where they were
paid yesterday. Thirty of the rousta-
bouts were arrested in that city and
fifty more were discharged here. The
latter made it hot for the men who
worked on the canvas and about the
circus, but were kept from doing any
real damage by long whips in the
hands of the bosses. In the fracas
at Lima about twenty of the men
were injured.

cite was elected commander of the

PLANTING Fruit Trees.

The soil should preferably be In
good filth before planting. and the
holes for the trees should be dug suf-
ficiently wide and deep to receive all
OF the roots of the tree. The harder
the soil the wider and deeper the
holes should be.
Fill in with loose, mellow earth,
packing the soil we'll around the roots.
Avoid using sod or any coarse mate
rial. or the leaving OF air pockets, as
either will cause a drying out around
the roots, which is detrimental to the
tree. Use care and you will be repaid
with a good stand OF trees.

DOUBLE LIFE OF VEIL
METHODS 6F PRESERVING FRAG-
LIE ACCESSORY.
Careful HandIn? to Remove Wrinkles
Is One of the First Requisites
May Be Washed II Due
Care Is Taken.

The life OF veil depends entirely
upon the way IL Is manipulated when
not in action. Few OF US ever give
our wells hard enough wear when
they are actually in service to wear
them out, but sometimes the careless
handling of day or SO will ruin a
veil that would last for weeks if prop
erly treated. Here is a good practice
for the preservation of wells that an
economical Englishwoman has ex'
planned to her American friends
Whenever you take of a veil, roll II.
Now take the bottom of the veil in
your right fingers and the top in your
left fingers and give il gentle pull
to stretch any wrinkles, and after
that do what you please with it. You
may fold it over and put it in your
handbag if you choose, or in crowd
ed bureau drawer or in a travelling
bag But when you come to use the
veil next time you will find that ii is
in good shape. Ideally speaking, a
wooden veil roll is a splendid instru-
ment for the safe keeping of wells, but
who takes the trouble to put the veil
on a roll? And, of course, it is the
once you don't take care of the veil
that does the damage.
Never leave veil on hat-that IS,
If you want to wear it a second time.
OF course. no woman likes to make a
show of preserving the life of wells by
spreading hers out every time she
chances to remove it. Yet with a lit
tie dsxterity she can roll 1t up as the
economical little Englishwoman does
in a flash, and the life OF the veil will
have been doubled.
Did you ever try to wash a veil!
Probably not, yet 1t is not difficult
process if the veil is white, and with
care a colored veil can sometimes be
put through soap and water. Always
use a suds of pure white soap anC
warm, not hot, water, and don't leave
the veil in the water for more than I
minute. Rinse the veil in clear water
after it has been in the soapy water
and allow it to dry by pinning it ou
at the edges on counterpart. Chiffon
wells will lend themselves surprisingly
we'll to a cleansing process, and thu
woman who wears them for motoring
or for seashore promenades will real
ize decided saving if she knows tn
knack of washing them.

Insect Beauty Patch.

In spite of the long run which
beauty patch styles in wells have had
they continue to be widely featured
and to sell with considerable free

tire cheek.
All sorts of. insect beauty spots con-

of these in a black bug on fiesh-col-
ored hair-line. The body Of the bug
is heavily embroidered on the mesh
of the veil, but the wings are en-
broidered on a separate piece of net SO
as to hang loose from the veil

LEGATION. Louisiana sugar and nee are
TO sell at a big advance
Consensus OF expert opinion is that
Louisiana has only about 60 per cent
of the normal acreage in sugar. and
that, as many planters, on account
OF the reduction of the tariH. could
not raise money to fcruLiZe or pay
labor TO cultivate as thoroughly as
usual the crop yield will be about
20 per cent OF LouiSiana's normal crop,
say 10000 tons, as a minimum yield.
Since the LIST of August. the rise in
the price of sugar has been nearly .O3
cents per pound, $50 per ton. which
would mean 100000 or $4,000 900
more revenue from her sugar crop
than Louisiana could have expected
had not the French. Germans and
Russians abandoned their beet-sugar
crop to 90 TO war.
We had a very sharp advance in
sugar prices i'm the summer of 1911.
when the teetsUgar crop Of both
France and Germany were cut short
by drought But this is the most SEN
sational advance known to the trade.
Up to the Goth of July, when Austria
declared war on little Seryia, the SUI
gar interests in Louisiana were con-
sidered seriously crippled by the re
duction in the tariff to a OF cent duty
TO March /, 1916, and free sugar there
after.
Those planters who had been fortu-
nate enough to plant and cultivate
their crops this year had been forced
through the great economy necessary
to use very little fertilizer and TO
give the crop only. such cultivation as
perhaps was absolutely necessary.
The outlook for prices at harvest
time, while encouraging by reason of
an abnormal shortage in the worlds
supply. could only be reckoned upon a
crop yield much less than normal.
Many had been forced to abandon
sugar as a crop. and with the hope of
recouping their losses had already
converted such part of their ulanta-
tions as they could cultivate into ex-
detrimental agricultural stations and
stock farms, with the hope Of selling
out their lands in small farms as the
of Louisiana's soil be-
come better known.
Twenty days have brought such a
rapid advance in the price of sugar
that only those who are international
experts on the worlds sugar crop are
not skeptical

strange to say just now she is re-

trade. 1t seems that shagreen is a
special part of a sharks skin which
lends itself admirably to a variety of
delicate dyes, and it has now become
very popular for the fittings of toilet
cases and the backs of mirrors and

vases are made of the material, which
is dyed in accordance with the fur
nishings of the room.
