Dame Fashion has her sensible
moods as well as her flights of frivol-
ity-here's the coat suit to prove it.
Nine. ALA Ripley, president of the
Fashion Art League of America, who
devised this sensible little gown,

green serge with blouse of -sand-col-
ored chiffon cloth. - r..

FILTH MEANS FLIES AND DEATH!
Flies love to feast on filth, and then
get into the house and wipe their feet
on your cake or on baby's bottle.
SCREEN THE HOUSE!
It is true they are natures scaven-
gers, but they spread filth and disease
in doing their work. And besides it
is better to do your own scanenger-
ing by keeping clean than to have the
fly do it for you; for not only is a fly
a dangerous companion, but clean
people are beginning to suspect that
those who have flies about them are
dirty housekeepers.
If, therefore, you wish to bear
reputation for cleanliness in your
neighborhood, be sure that your
trash and manure heaps are fire.

is properly screened!

Railroad Earnings Big.

With the monthly earnings state
ment of the Great Northern for Octo-
Der, issued last week, showing the
largest gross earnings in any one
month in the history of the company,
came a preliminary statement show
ing November to have been the most
prosperous November in the history
of the company.
Incidentally, the October statement
shows the first increase in gross since
October, 1918, which has gone down in
Great Northern history as a $4,000,
600 month. This October exceeded
that of 1913 by large margin, how
ever, showing gross earnings of $S,-
9S5, 900 as compared with $S,922,00
two years ago.
Operating income for October was
$730,o00 ahead Of that Of October, 1914
For the fiscal year thus far, operat-
ing income still is $698,443 behind, but
this loss is rapidly being eliminated
and the showing for the entire fiscal
year should be far ahead of that Of
the preceding year.

General Trade Conditions.

Dun's Review says: There is nc
longer complaint Of deferred buying
but OF difficulty in meeting the steadi
ly-expanding requirements. Consumpt
i've demand exceeds supply in some
lines, and distributing channels are
obstructed by the congestion OF
freight, rail and oversee shipping ia
cilities still being inadequate to cope
with the rush of traffic.
This tends to act as brake on
commercial progress, but the forward
movement has not perceptibly slack
ened. either in domestic or foreign
commerce. On the contrary, exports
in spite of the shortage of vessels and
other obstacles, continue in notably
heavy volume, while internal trade is
further swelled as the holiday season
approaches. Development of Christ.

The worlds wheat crop for 1915 il

The worlds wheat crop for 1915 is
returned by the department of agri-
culture at 3,793, 125, 900 bushels, gain
of 550,00O,00O bushels over 1914. Over
one-half of this increase, or 2S6,000,-
900 bushels, is in the United States
and Canada, however, while the in
crease in all Europe is but 100000
900 bushels, with an actual loss, ex-
cept in Russia and the Balkans, from
which there are practically no export
facilities. The statistical showing GER
tainly tends to discourage expecta-
tons of high priced wheat, yet the
distribution of the surplus makes the
most advantageous conditions posi-
BILE for disposing of our wheat in the
markets which we regularly supply.

offices of the Municipal Transportation
company at nine o'clock. and set his
basket of opened and carefully ammo
tated letters out of the mathematical
center of his desk; then he touched a
button and thin young man. whose
brow, at twenty, wore the traces Of
preternatural age, walked briskly in

young man departed with the basket
feeling that he had quite capably borne
his weight of responsibility.
Gregory walked in. a fat man with
no trace Of nonsense about him.
"Out for the day, Ed?" he surmised
gauging that probability by the gift
of the letters.
