The Farmer and Gotten Planter and Reasonable Passenger Rates.
 With the farmer cotton planter cost selling prices vary with the industrial conditions and the extent of supply and demand With the rail- roads the price that they charge for their product transportation lis fixed by law, irrespec- tive the cost of producing it. This expense, is we'll known for the last few years has been great y on the increase
 For the season Of 1912-191a, the average price of cotton was Ii 7-s cents per pound or in round figures $6o per bale.
 In 1912 the railroads received 60 cents porting passenger 20 miles.
 Today in 1915, the farmer is receiving abou; $40 for bale of coton and it admitted that ho cannot raise the cotton and make any profit this figure.
 Today we are receiving 40 cents for transport ing a passenger 20 miles after giving the two- cent-per- mile thorough trial, we say just as frankly that we cannot continue to transport senger 20 miles for 40 cents continue to give the service people demand and meet expenses.
 The government figures that the average cost of raising pound cotton is s 3-16 cents Therefore eght-cent cotton profitable, but the farmer and cotton planter find relief, for he can turn his attention to other but the railroads cannot for they have only one product to sell namely, transportation.
 Now Mr. Farmer it is quite true the law of the land does net fix the price at which you shall sell cotton.
 But the farmer individually and through the Farmers Unon has been complaining bitterly for many years of the evil of price fixed by the cot ton exchanges without regard to the cost ol raising cotton. The manufacturer, the jobber and the retail merchant fix prices their goods to n- sure profit. The farmer has as to the price he shall get for his product Liverpool and New York, where cotton is grown, fix it for hln.
 You know the evil of it and may apply your case tq that the railroads whose rates are h2eo by law without consulting the roads and with no regard to the cost of building and operating oi pr0fts The present law compels us to sell our trans portation at loss and asking the people 'o' adjust this condition On account of the low price 0 cotton the profitable farming campaign was re- gently inaugurated, and the railroads assisted Tn every possible way and at all times wiiiihs to assist in the advancement of the great state ol Arkansas, and only asking for fair treatment Ill return

Frightful War Appliances.

At this blessed time of the year
when peaceful America is echoing
with Christmas chimes, there is some
thing awful in the idea of the in
fernal machines which the New York
Times says Trichu brought out of
Paris with him on the occasion of the
recent sorties. One of them was what
may be called the modern type of an
ancient scythe-bearing war chariot.
This machine is nothing less than an
armor plated locomotive equipped
with two powerful mitrailleurs, and
originally built for the railroad
bridge at Point du Jour. 1t is said to
have been invented in Paris during
the war. One of these fires $50 balls
a minute, another 4S0, third no less
than 4,500 in the same time, and a
fourth which is alleged to work with
out noise, smoke or fire, to have a
range of 500 yards, and to cost only
35 francs, with all needful ammuni-
tion, for firing 800 projectiles. There
are, morever, several new shells, in
cluding the .Gaudin, the Menestrol,
and others, which suffocate as we'll as
mangle; and to crown all, frightful
kind of rocket, which with range of
four miles, is said to produce results
so shocking that the commission ap-
pointed to experiment with it "hesi-
tate to recommend such terrible
weapon, for fear of placing France
without the ban of civilized nations"
On trial described by the Journal, a
rocket of this sort was discharged
against an iron tank filled with water
when violent detonation filled the
air; the tank and it's supports were
thrown skyward and descended brok-
en- into small fragments, and even the
water itself "boiled over and ran
along the ground in a sheet of flame"
Several important edifices, far with
in the Notifications, are not only iron
clad, like the Arc de Triumphe, but
provided with vast supplies of pro-
jectiles from those of the mitrailleurs
to hand grenades and also with Greek

downtown to the hem, getting wild
er at each turn.
The suits being strictly tailored in
their style require suitable materials.
Serge, gabardine, gabardine voile,
which is the lightest weight fabric OBJ
tainable for tailored suits, and a new
fabric called grosgrain serge are
among the smartest materials shown,
as we'll as the most serviceable.
Linens in bright stripes, almost like
the awning stripes of a year ago, are
very smart for waists and novelty
suits. Chiffon, voile; organdy and
handkerchief linen are the fabrics,
which are used mostly for the seasons
blouses, which are, of course, very
popular owing to the tailored suits.
Silks come in serges and coverts,
and are more than charming. The
serge, of course, reminds one very
forcefully of grosgrain in finer
quality, but the covert is indeed new
departure and beautiful in its texture.
A new satin called Georgette satin
from it's originator is being used a
great deal for hats. 1t is coarsely
satin, and comes in black, tan and
mulberry with ribbons to match.
Speaking of ribbons and ribbon velvet
there are beautiful fowered ribbons
of all widths, checks that beggar des-
cription and velvet woven with check
ed backs. All are very gay and bril-
liant to go with the light clothes that
are to have great popularity this sea-
son, and so the wheel of Fashion and
of the factories go or and on forever.
For the frocks for warm weather
there are quantities of voiles and
crepes, in plain colors and figures,
which are stunning. In the illustration
is a white crepe dress with an en-
broidered design in white, which
marks the fabrics off into diamonds.
The simplicity of style by which it is
developed is charming indeed. The
waist is round and full with a narrow
round yoke of lace. The three-quarter
sleeves are finished with a frill OF
lace. The plain full skirts are fin
ished at the bottom with a design
which matches the material.
The materials for summer dresses
are made with borders of color, and
stripes and bars of embroidery on the
plain white fabrics. There are en-
broidered fiouncings of sheer crepe as
we'll as narrower widths. Wolfe and
marquisette are also used for the
foundation of embroideries.
Null, embroidered with simple but
tonholed edge in blue and other colors

is used to make and to trim the
charming period hats, poke-bonnets,
and quaint old-fashioned leghorns,
which are the novelties in millinery
for summer
The hats of chiffon and tul'e with
transparent brims are very smart and
decidedly attractive. / saw one not
long ago of tulle with pleated crown
and brim of tulle doubled. Partic-
ularly chic was the placing of the
trimming which consisted of two back
quills, running in opposite directions.
Another hat of tulle, chiffon or
black lace has brim which is really
a ruffle.
The hats are really stunning and
are widely different, suited to many
types. There is the small hat, the
military hat, the turban and the large
picturesque hat, usually of leghorn,
and faced with bit Of figured chif-
fon or cretonne.

New Years Day.

sed off very quietly, each one enjoy
ing themself in their own way. In the
afternoon of Monday party of eight
or ten couple procured team from
the Sauk Centre Livery stable and
went to Osakis, where dance came
off at the Lake House in the evening.
All expressed themselves on the re-
turn as highly pleased with the trip.
At Sauk Centre a dance was gotten
up by Taylor & Co.'s band at Kellogg
Cowles & Mayo's hall where large
and respectable company spent the
evening very pleasantly. The music
and management was excellent and
the supper at the Minnesota House
was partaken of with great satisfac-
ton.

New York are:

from Paris in our openings here in
New York are:
Skirts are short and full, coats are
long, three-quarters and very short.
Narrow lower skirt sections are plac-
beneath a wide overskirt which al
most covers this lower section which
is often of chiffon or lace-an odd but
effective feature of summer modes.
Simplicity is the marked tendency in
all these gowns. The colors are less
vivid, and in a crude khaki, beige,
, sand and the numerous plum colors.
The high waistline and the normal
one has taken the place of the moyen
age line in many of the models, al
though the long line is often express
.sed in the girdle which comes down
over the hips.
The short round and pointed bas-
ques are combined with fluffy, frilled
skirts. In my illustration is shown
dress made of striped taffeta. The
short waist is round, with a slight
point directly in the front. The square
Callot neck is a very much more be-
coming line at the neck than the
straight Dutch or round neck. The
full skirt is especially attractive and
-"summery" with ruffles, which dip
in the front and back, and are about
sSknee-length at the sides.
For some time the cOrset-makers
have been making their corsets to
curve in a little at the sides and give
the slightly smaller waist effect and
then they added little to the height
of the corset and added inserts OF
elastic to the backs and fronts. Some
of the very newest models which are
being sent out to try the market are
undoubtedly pinching the fronts lit
tie. 1t is hard to tell whether this is
a forerunner of what we may expect
in small waists, or merely comprom-
ise in order to take care of such a
contingency if it should suddenly
come upon US.
J, Partisan sketches show a strong
tendency toward straight girdles,
which are worn at the normal waist
line. These are more becoming to
the waist that is "nipped" in a trihe
than the one which is straight up and
down.
The dainty muslin frocks which are
ALREADY being made for summer, have
1three-inch belts of black velvet rib
bon.
The high collar is very smart, but
Paris has swerved trifle from her
allegiance to it and is wearing one
which is high in the back and open in
THE front. One very pretty collar
which I noticed was straight band
of batiste buttoned in front with tiny
buttons, and, around the top, four tri-
angular pieces of the same edged with
narrow lace overlapping one another
around the neck and falling over the
high, boned hand.
!, Lace and taffeta are combined a
great deal for afternoon frocks. One
SIcharming dress of taffeta is four
yards wide at the hem. The waist is
tight, and from the waistline begins
band of the same color, which winds
in spiral effect around the hips and

minutes later she stood just outside
the open window, not two feet away
from the table at which Howard was

the words:
