pers tell you about the city council
meeting last night? Neither Tribune,
Herald or Examiner told all Of the
facts; each of them told some truth.
The school trustee story drew a
square deal from the whole bunch.
They said that the council would not
20. K" the three new trustees until
Alderman Buck and his committee
had investigated charges brought by
citizens against one of the appoint
ees.
Another story, and very import
ant one, was not touched by any of
the morning papers. 1t was on res
Olution offered by Aid. Buck asking
investigation of yarn that the City
News Bureau, official newsgathering
organ of the trust press, sent out. 1t
was about Serg't Sloier and the
bunch of twenty striking clothing
have chased for several blocks, fired
shots at, but did not arrest.
Buck wants to know why, if Sloier
did all of the chasing he wasn't able
to catch at least one of these clothing
workers. Buck thinks that the story
may be an entire fake invented to
make it appear that the strikers are
causing trouble on the West Side.
The story was handled by the bu-
reau and printed in the trust press
just after Mayor Thompson told Sid
ney Hillman, head of the strikers,
that he would not help them until
violence stopped. The Sloier yarn
made it appear that the strikers were
rioting.
But the trust press didn't mention
it this morning.
When the Illinois Manufacturers
assn sent the council a letter asking |
for the repeal of the fender law the !
Tribune gaveyit three lines. The Her
aid and Examiner overlooked it en-
tirely.

sells. Buck got an opinion from Et-
tleson's office last week to the effect
that the corporation counsel, his
helpers and the city attorneys were
city officials.
Armed with this, he reminded the
aldermen that city laws say city Off
Gals must be appointed only with
the consent of the council If his con-
tentlon is true the corporation coun-
sci and his aids are holding office il
legally. The motion went to a COM
mittee for discussion.
The Tribune was the only paper to
tell fair identification story.

illinois Central and the Northwest

ports of experts in the past have
shown that the railroads cause 40
per cent of the smoke nuisance of the

We have passed the matter this
long awaiting action of the Assn of

have it. Let's get busy"
But the Trib didn't say it that way.
The banks drew a stiff rap from
Alderman Block and not a whisper of

He sent in an order asking that ad-
Vert1sements for bids by banks for

STUDY EACH cow IN
EVERY DAIRY HERD
Greatest Good Not Always De-
rived in Eliminating the In
profitable Animals.

It is a fact. and there is evidence
of it, that it is good plan to weigh
and test the milk of each individual
COW; but it is a far better plan to take
each COW in the herd and make care
full study of her and investigate to see
If she has reached the limit of her pro-
duction. By weighing and testing the
milk some rather surprising results
have been found in many of cur dairy
cows.
The greatest good that has been
derived is not alone in eliminating the
Improbable cow, but rather in awak-
ening to the Importance of studying
the individuals in each herd.
When you find COW that is not
yielding a desired profit, see If she is
not capable of better things before
condemning her.
Watch the scales and reward her
with each increase of milk, and you
will ofteItimes find that her limit will
be far above what you had at first
thought. Be fair to the COW and give
her chance.

STYLES IN HAIR DRESSING
Castle Couture Is at Present Enjoying
Quite Unusual Amount Of
Popularity.

To produce the Castle bob couture,
which is so popular among young
girls, the hair may be drawn back
loosely from the forehead and dressed
low in the neck. The device or hair
which gives the bobbed effect is then
arranged on narrow black velvet
ribbon band. The ribbon is placed
rather low on the forehead, encircling
the head, which allows the bobbed
hair to cover the neck and ears.
The cluster curl is a style of
couture used either high or low. For
both styles softly constructed wire
foundation covered with silk net is
employed. This insures perfect sym
metry to the head, and as it can be
placed on any part of the head the
couture can always be arranged in a
becoming style.
For high hair dressing round wire
foundation covered with silk net is
placed high on the head. The hair is
drawn loosely over it and is tied Sc
curely. 1t then may be either coiled
or tucked beneath. The curls are ar
ranged in cluster at the top with
two or three arranged becomingly at
the nape of the neck. The hair about
the forehead is softly arranged and is
drawn back to the curled couture.

in SUMMER COLORS
LIGHT MATERIALS EMPLOYED
BY PARTISAN MoDisTEs.
Lemon-Yellow Taffeta Selected by
Worth for His Artistic Trlumphs-
Turban Toque That Has Called
Forth Admiration.

Lemon-yellow taffeta is an ideal
material for dinner dresses or for
the short, loose coates which are now
so much worn over muslin robes. He
liotrope is another popular color This
shade looks best in charmeuse or
crepe de chine; in taffeta it is rath-
er cold. Worth recently created a
delightful afternoon gown for ma
iron, which was composed of hello
trope charmeuse and fine black chan
tilly lace, writes Italia de villiers in
the Boston Globe.
There were five lace founces on
the satin skirt. plain space being left
between them. The flounces were
headed by prim ruchings of satin
and lace coatee fell over pic
turesque blouse made of heliotrope
chiffon. This blouse had long bishop
sleeves and it opened over finely
tucked chemisette made of ivory
white organdie muslin.
This gown was accompanied by a
fat-brimnied hat in tuscan straw,
which had for trimming length of
black velvet ribbon and a cluster of
American Beauty roses mingled with
sprays of heliotrope.
The little turban toque / have
sketched this week is one of the most
popular models of the season. 1t is
close-fitting and the trimming is ex-
ceedingly simple, just one beautiful
rose placed on the brim near the front
and then floating VEIL
Toques of this order look well when
worn in conjunction with tailored
suits in white linen or fine serge.
The second head shows an uncom-
mon shape in tuscan straw which is
trimmed with a single, very long,
heron feather, hem with a narrow
band of lace. The two wells of the
season are the short, nose length,
models, and the picturesque floating
wells which were brought into fash
ion by clever American women.
The short wells are undoubtedly
practical and convenient. To some

the soil of undesirable growth between
the rows of corn and moving the
fence rows till they looked like a clean
lawn.
Where corn is not to be cut for fod-
der or silage, but husked in the field,
1T can be pastured heavily with sheep
and lambs in late summer and
through the fall OF course, where
there are no weeds or grass for the
animals to eat, they will eat the lower
blades of corn, stripping the stalks up
as far as they can reach. Old sheep
will sometimes disturb and destroy
the ears after they have cleaned the
field of weeds and grass, but not till
then. Lambs cannot reach the ears
on corn of standard height.
Cowpeas planted in corn at the last
cultivation make an excellent feed for
fattening sheep and lambs, the peas
being legume and furnishing protein
for flesh building. This method of
pasturing sheep not only furnishes
clean, healthful, shady pasture for the
animals, but it cleans the field of many
plant pests and fertilizes the soil
evenly.
The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1915-08-06

Those who have flock of sheep,
or who purchase lambs for fall fatten-
ming, can pasture them to advantage
IN late summer and all through the fall
in cornfields. If the corn is not infest-
ed with summer grasses and weeds it
will be necessary to plant cowpeas,
rye or some other catch crop between
the rows of corn. Where the cornfield
is large and the flock of sheep or
lambs small there will be no need of
planting any special crop between
rows, as there will be enough feed
for the animals in chance weeds and
heritage among the corn and along the
fences.
Last summer We had cornfield in
which were a few weeds of several
kinds and considerable crabgrass and
foxtail, says Missouri writer in Farm
Progress. A small flock of sheep and
lambs was turned into this field in
August and we found that neither the
lambs nor the sheep ate any of the
corn blades worth considering, and
they did not bother the ears of corn
in the least. But they eagerly ate the
weeds and summer grasses, cleaning

MAKING PROFIT BY
GIVING HOGS WHEAT
Interesting and Instructive Re-
suits in Swine Feeding OBJ
tanned in Kentucky.

The Kentucky experiment station OBJ
tanned 9S cents to $1.16 bushel for
wheat by feeding it to hogs last year
when hogs we're selling at 81 hun,
dredweight. If hogs had sold for SIS
a hundredweight the return would
have been SIPS to $1.33 a bushel.
Manifestly it will not be profitable to
feed wheat to hogs as long as 1t is
selling at present prices but when it
drops to the figures paid last year at
harvest it will be more profitable to
feed 1t than to sell it provided the
prices paid for hogs are satisfactory.
1t ordinarily is estimated that
ground wheat has about the same feed
ing value as ground corn. The price
of corn. therefore is factor which
should be consider ID when deciding
whether to feed or sell the wheat. The
Kentucky experiments show also that
ground wheat returned Z to 10 cents
more bushel tslan soaked wheat
The results of the experiment are de-
scribed in detail IN Bulletin No. 100
which can be Obtained by writing to
the Kentucky Agricultural Experiment
station, Lexington. Ky.

CREToNNE MUCH IN FAVOR
Almost Everything Can Now Be OBJ
talned In Material That Has Be-
come So Popular.

There is rage for things made OF
cretonne-not cushions and slips to
cover the chairs and curtains, but
things to wear.
One of the latest cretonne novelties
is the cretonne handbag 1t is not
necessarily cheap, as the fabric from
which 1t is made might make one
think 1t is. For it is made and
mounted in an expensive, as we'll as
in cheap, way. The expensive mount
shows silk lining and a substantial
metal frame of good quality, and this
sort of handbag can be appropriately
carried with the most elaborate lin
gerie frock. The cheaper cretonne
handbag is also pretty with lingerie
frocks, especially at the seashore or
J in the country.

Embroidered sunshades.

The very latest sunshade is modi-
fed pagoda shape with an abnormally
long handle and touches of rich en-
broidery in Japanese fashion. Genu-
inc pagoda shapes also are very fash
ionable, but these are little too re-
markable for women of quiet taste;
the modified pagoda is donned but
the sticks are bent in the ordinary
way and it is, as rule, rather large.
Women who are clever with their
needles are working silk flowers and
other designs on white or black silk
parasols. The more Japanese or Chi
nese these embroideries can be made
the better, and the silks should be as
soft and loose as possible.

FURNISH HOGS SOME
SHADE In SUMMER
Farmer Who Is Not Supplied With
Trees Has Quite Difficult
Problem to Solve.

The hog needs a shade in the hot
reduced in flesh very rapidly. Heat is
great flesh reducer, and the blister
ing rays of the sun will trim down the
hogs very rapidly. The man who is
fattening his hogs is very liable to lose
some of them if they must be exposed
to the burning rays of the midday sun
during the hot season.
The farmer who lives in a timbered
country will have no trouble in pro-
viding shade for his hogs. On one farm
there was a 40-acre tract of wooded
land. Here the hogs were kept in the
summer They had the shade to pro-
tect them from the sun, and cool
ing spring came from under ledge of
rock and flowed down the branch, so
they had sufficient pure water in
which to wallow.
It is the man on the prairie who is
troubled with the shade question. An
ideal shade for hogs is provided by
man who had no tree on his place
except a few in his yard. He had
constructed long shed out of cheap
lumber, opening to the north. His fine
Poland China hogs were stretched out
in long line beneath the shelter of
the shed, enjoying protection from the
hot rays of the midday sun.
A man had better construct shed
and cover it with straw than to let his
hogs suffer.

IMPROBABLE LAND
LIKE BOARDER cows
Low Yielding Acres Are Often
Fatal to Successful Farm
ing-Drainage Favored.

The United States department Of
agriculture sends out a bulletin from
which this article is taken:
We hear many uncomplimentary
things about the Improbable dairy
cow-the boarder COW that is support
ed from the profits of the remainder of
the herd. On many farms the un-
profitable dairy COW is not by any
means the only boarder. Low yielding
acres, like boarder cows, are often
fatal to successful farming.
Our farm survey records show that
area of poorly drained, compact, sour
soils, or soils low in humus greatly
reduce net profits and are a frequent
cause of minus labor income. Some
times these records show that as much
as 80 per cent of the entire farm
acreage does not produce enough to
pay its way.
One farm on which we recently took
records has 40 acres of poorly drained
land that in its present condition is
practically worthless. Twenty-Five dol
lars per acre spent in drainage will
make this 40-acre tract the equal of
any in that district, and good land is
selling there at $3.50 per acre.
The successful business man tries
to weed out all Improbable enter
prises and to expand those that pay
a profit. Improbable acres cannot al
ways be disposed of as rapidly as
boarder cows, but usually they can be
improved until they become profit
bearing. If the income from such land
cannot be increased, it is quite posi-
BILE that the labor spent upon it can
be reduced until the income at least
pays the cost of labor.
