 "In the Riga battle the Germans lost one uperdreadnought, the Moltke, three cruisers and seven torpedo boats.
 "The German fleet has withdrawn from Riga Bay.
 ''The Germans tried to make a de- scent near Pernpvin (Pernigel, off the east coast of the Gulf of Riga, some B miles north of Riga). Four barges crammed with soldiers tool; part in the descent.

Party clothes planned for summer wear of little folks need not take much of the time even of the most painstak- ing mother. For a choice in styles in dresses for her little girl she would better be a frank copyist of the frocks made by those who specialize in children's wear. For with their ener- gies focused upon this particular field of endeavor they turn out orig inal and alluring things that are delight to look upon. and simple enough to be easily made. AS for the small boy. his case is easily dis posed of. He is to be dressed like oth- CT small boys. Little variety of de- sign is looked for in his appareling.
 The little maid of seven shown in the picture, has on a frock made of white net. edged at the bottom with a scallop finished with buttonhole stitch ing in silk. By way of . little child ish elaboration a second row of seal lops appears above the first. The bodice is an inspiration from the bo- lero which is so much worn by her big sisters. and the short frilled sleeves are as simple as sleeves can be. except that they are of two thick

 Another pretty frock that has charmed many a mother out of a goodly number of dollars is made of sheer handkerchief linen. It is long waisted, with a short skirt consist ing of four narrow ruffles set on the waist by row of hemstitching. There is a turnover collar of fine point d'esprit edged with frill at the neck and a small narrow vest is set in at the front made of this net Two mar row frillS (one at each sidel almost con ceal the vest. The collar is V-shaped and finished with little butterfly bow of ribbon at the point. Another bow like it is set at the bottom of the vest. This dress would be just as pretty in the fine weaves of cotton, like cotton voile or batiste, or fiowery figured lawns, using the point d'esprit for collar, cuffs and frills.

Except as they influence the modes of today the story of summer styles is a thing of the past. All those whose knowledge and initiative en- able them to create new ideas for the coming season have already thought out and executed models in gowns. wraps, millinery, blouses, and other things for the oncoming winter.
 The full, fiaring skirt Is to remain with us. Russian lines in blouses and coats are making a strong bid for fa- vor, and nothing Is more chic than the Russian blouse. Braids and but tons testify to the military influence in styles, and everywhere fur is in evi- dence. Considering all these factors for smartness the coming winter promises to set forth milady of fashion most becomingly gowned. And to crown all and add to her joys the completest satisfaction, wide brimmed, picturesque hats are already in vogue.
 An excellent example of the mili- tary mode in trimming is shown in the cloth street gown pictured here. Width is lent to the skirt by the in- troduction of plaits at each side, and 1t is little longer than the very short skirts of this summer A three inch hem finishes the bottom, the waist line is placed at the normal waist line of the figure, and while the skirt is amply wide it does not flare.

The great possibilities of low priced Arkansas lands for grain production have been effectively proved by re- suits at the railroad demonstration farm at Hope with both wheat and cats during the past year. The wheat yields averaged 29 bushels per acre and oats GA bushels per acre. test field put in for comparison of Fulgrum cats and winter turf oats showed a yield of IT bushels per acre of the Fulgrum oats and 91 bushels per acre of the winter turf oats. Other fields of winter turf oats yielded, respective ly, S6 bushels per acre, 70 bushels per acre, 64 bushels per acre. The lowest yield was 51 bushels per acre. The demonstration farm was started at this place three years ago on piece of land that had been in cotton over 50 years and which was practically worn out
