Ribbons, that for so long time
have been used for the feminine fin
ishing touches upon the garments
wherewithal the gentlewoman chooses
to more than clothe herself, have ex-
tended their field of usefulness. 1t
Is not so many years ago that they
became part of all her lingerie,
strung through headings and tied in
hower-like bows. Now the smaller
garments are themselves made of rib
bons, and lace or other ribbons are
employed for their decoration.
Many of the wide, soft weaves in
satin or taffeta stand washing very
well, but the luxurious small belong
ings made OF ribbon in which splen-
dor-loving women indulge themselves,
are not made for utility. They are
merely to be beautiful and appear for
q brief career, but glorious one,
when special occasions require special
fnsry.
A corset cover made of wide satin
messaline ribbon is shown In the pic
ture. A pointed edging OF val lace
Is set on one edge of the ribbon and
sewed down along the edge Of the
points. The ribbon is cut away from
under the pointed scallops OF lace. A
beading, edged with narrow val lace,
is set about the top OF the garment
and forms a support over the arms.
Narrow ribbon run through the bead
ing Is tied In bow at the front, ad.
1usting the bodice to the figure. Flat
bows over the shoulders are added
decorations.
A casing Is run along the under side
Of the lower edge Of the bodice, and

passenger depot. The stile was erected
last spring for the convenience of ped.

The sewer crosses Mr.. Chapman's prop

been accustomed to use the stile that
they must use the regular wagon road.

Monday afternoon that Mr.. Chapman

The Farmers Chores
BY 0ttilie G. Boetzkes

The farmers chores are never done.
II you count them there are hundred
and one;
From morning till night the life long
day,
Of course, while the sun shines, he has
to make hay.
Its not a snap that kind of life.
There's the stock and the crop, chill
dren and wife.
All need looking after and special care.
AS every farmer is well aware.
Now begin to count, if you have fingers
enough;
The wood chopping in winter is pretty
tough.
For with zero and below and an empty
bin
Lots of wood for the stove will have to
be in.
Then milking the cows, morning and
And feeding the hogs, | tell you, its a
fright.
They eat his head off, if he don't look
out,
And if he don't fence them in, they are
all about.
The turkeys and hens, he loves them SC
And delights to see them all nicely
grow.
In harvest time, when the apples are
ripe,
He's sure not to have leisure to smoke
his pipe.
What did forget, wonder all?
The baby is soon beginning to crawl.
Ii needs clothes and shoes, and fooC
and milk.
| see, wifey would get no gown of silk
The horses need shoes, just like baby
dear.
And the nearest blacksmith is by NJ
means near.
The wheel of the wagon broke in the
mud,
Just when potatoes were beginning tt
bud.
The farmers life is sure one of care.
Butsthere are blessings and joys every
where.
And lots of them, too. if the jobs done
we'll,
And the pigs are fat and plenty apples
to sell.

YEARS POTATO
YIELD Is HEAVY

The total yield of potatoes in the
Hood River valley will probably reach
so carloads this year. The larger part
of the crop, however, will be used in
local consumption. The Hood River
Produce Exchange alone will ship the
tuber in carlots.
1--WE estimate that we will handle
about 20 cars of potatoes this season, 1"
says Crawford c. Lennon. manager of
the Produce Exchange. 1--WE handled
Is cars last year.
Current jobbing prices for potatoes
are from 65 to rs cents per bag. The
quality is good, many of the tubers
having been produced on freshly
cleared ground.
While Hood River will have enough
onions to supply the local trade until
late in the winter, no carlot shipments
will be made.
The cabbage acreage of the valley is
probably the largest in the history of
the district. One grower in the Upper
Valley has rs tons of cabbage. On ac-
count of depressed market conditions
now, he is liable to move the product
at a profit;
1--WE believe that we could handle
cabbage proftably," says MIR. Lem
mon, ''if it were grown in larger
quantities and we could move it to the
trade in fair sized lots. -

"A Though there has been no defin-

when in this city last week. ''it is
generally understood that the Colum-

take an intermediate route. That is, it
will neither go directly up the river,
nor will it pass out through the Hood
River valley, and over the range be-
tween here and the Mosier district.
The road will leave the county road, as
at present laid out. little over mile
from the city on the East Side of Hood
River. At this point the traveller will
be given magnificent view of the
Hood River valley orchards.
This road will gradually lead back
to the top of the Columbia gorge.
which it will follow pretty closely all
the way to MOsier."
