Do the farmers of Missouri
need a land bank" to enable
them to borrow at a low rate
long time money for the
purchase and improvement OF
land. Six per cent money is
as cheap as it will pay any insti
tion to lend it, and ON that basis
nearly every county in the state
has the equivalent of land bank
in its public school funds, and
from which loans will be made
for any length of time as long as
the interest is paid pro mptly.
Right here in our own county we
have known this school money to
go begging at five per cent.
Many man has made use OF
this money to acquire a farm
home and become a responsible
citizen, and the fact that this
money often accurlates in the
hand of county treasurers, to lie
in the depository banks at three
or four per cent, is a pretty sub
stantial indication that there is
no very real or strong demand
for cheap, long time money from
farmers-not in this community,
at least.

This happened in St. Louis
last Saturday night: A drink
crazed negro entered a saloon,

the gun at another negro, against
whom he had no grievance, and
tore his breast open with the
charge. The victim died instant

responsibility of this mans
death rest? Some will say,
Its only an affair between Mig

G. lNCE dancing has come to be In

Der of hair ornaments and dancing
caps have come to the light of day. or
more probably, to the twinkling lights
of night. Here are two of them, one
for the carefully coifed lady and one
for the curly-haired little girl.
In those made for young women,
caps to hold the hair in place have

Ing bands of all kinds encircling the
head and holding the hair about the
face in place have come to the fore.
Nearly all these bands are more or
less deliberately set. Rhinestones
with silver filagree form the back
ground to their alluring brilliance.
The band shown in the picture EN-.
ploys both rhinestones and tiny vel
vet flowers in its composition. Small

short hairpins. A more secure fas-
tening is managed by small hook at
one end of the band which grasps
loop at the other end, the fastening
concealed under a strand of hair. A
fine hair net helped out with a close
fitting band of this kind will keep the
couture unspoiled for many gay hour.
Purely for ornament and by way of
being unusual, the fragile butterfly
made of threads worked into lace
stitch, is mounted on a plain narrow
band of ribbon for the head of a lit
tie girl. Her dancing curls will take
care of themselves; the band of rib
bon will restrain them from falling
over her face. The lacy butterfly Is
outlined with the very finest of silk
covered wire which supports the more
than gauzy wings.
The gay and buoyant bows of rib
bon, which are set at pert angles on
the heads of little girls, are like but
| terfies in shape and seem to lie poised
| ready to fly. Just little more airy,
the butterfly of needlework in the
very simplest of stitches is pretty for
the little girl who is herself like a
dancing butterfly.

Ornaments Necessary.

The small furnishings of a room are
the things that really furnish It, The
wall covering may be in the most ap-

be faultlessly finished, the rugs may
be exquisite and In impeccable taste
and the furniture may be the product
of careful workmanship and careful
choosing. Even the pictures on the
wall and the lights may be faultless
and yet the room in question will lack
a certain air of completeness unless a
few objects, vaguely termed "orna-
ments." be included In Its furnishings.

A fabric called indestructible wolfe
promises to be much used for spring
and summer. A summary frock was
embroidered in black and yellow
daisies. The long sleeved bodice was
shirred over the shoulders with por-
ton of the bodice edged with net
hanging loose over girdle of black
velvet, which was extended In sash
ends. The skirt was shirred at the top
with two tucks at the center laid close
ly together. A curving band of the
wolfe was embroidered with daisies
and frilled with a narrow edging of
net, as was the hem of the skirt.

A NEW aspirant for favor, with all
"A the signs pointing toward its sue
cess, Is lust launched. Smart shoes,
full Of snap and style, usher in the
military mode in footwear, with colors
and braidings and new features in cut
and finish distinguishing them from
time-honored styles from which they
have departed
The vogue for cloth-topped boots,
having gray or tan or white uppers,
will help to make the military shoe
success The transition from these to
colors less unobtrUsive promises to
be easy. Footwear has for the past
three seasons been growing more
snowy and no one can deny the at
tractiveness of boots made to match
costumes, and the elegant black and
white footwear which has distinguish
ed the season just passing.
But the new military styles are not
combining the manufacturers to neu-
trail or quiet colors. Their uppers are
made in cloth, in regimental or other
blue shades, in maroon, green and
brown. Just the smartest develop
ments of all for spring is the shoe
having cloth like the gown embodied
in its makeup. The strong materials
used in tailored skirts answer the pur-
pose very well. A more practical idea
is evident in spats, made Of the ma.
terial of the gown, to be worn over
either high or low shoes having patent
leather vamps.
The military shoes are ornamented
with soutache braid and frightened
with patent leather tips. They are
one Of the straws which show which
way the wind blows in new footwear
The trend of fashion is toward more
fanciful models.

Ever since the first American
oranges ripened. the range and size

For many decades it was a sluggish
growth, barren of results worth talk

most of the oranges here consumed
were imported. Then some one with
a sense of possibilities started the gold
ball rolling. and to-day Florida and
California produce practically all the
oranges used ny the 80, 900 900 AmerI-
