CAT CHAPERON FOR CHICKS
Watches Over Them Daily WIN
Mothers Care Till They
Go to Roost.

jefferson City, Mo.-A cat that
cares for a brood of chickens is the
property of Mrs. John P. Gordon, vile
of the state auditor.
The cat attracted the attention OF
neighbors some time ago by It's Pc
culiar conduct. At first it was thought
it was following the chickens around
to kill one for a meal. This idea was
soon dissipated when day after day
the performance was repeated.
Then it was observed that the cat
attached itself to brood of late Try
ers." now about half grown. 1t watches
over this bunch of chickens with ap'
parent motherly solicitude, follows
them about all day and never leaves
them until they go to roost for the
night. Then the cat returns to the
Gordon residence and conducts her
self, SO far as known, during the night
Just as any other respectable feline
This story is vouched for by all the
Gordon neighbors.

LAST WORD IN RIBBON STYLES
Matters Of importance Which Women
VIII Do Well to Keep In
the Memory.

Watch out for velvet ribbons. They
are to be used very freely this spring
and summer for dress trimmings.
Also be on the lookout for taffeta
ribbons In narrow styles not over an
inch and one-half wide with corded
edges and rather thin texture.
These will be broadly used and espe-
cially smart in the new colorings.
In the millinery field. the vogue for
ribbon trimmings will follow that
which now exists for vegetable trim
mings.
Plaided effects will enter as well as
satin ribbons in black and in black
and white effects.
1t is possible for hat trimmings to
become very dependent upon ribbon
trimmings this season.
The band and streamer styles are
indicated as well as brim facings OF
ribbons
Bengaline and wolfe ribbons are alsc
on the tapis.
Embroideries Of narrow velvet rib
bon and soutache braids will be smart

FARMERS IN GOOD POSITION
Somebody Must Raise Food Products
to Supply European Natlons-
Demand for Necessities.

The farmers of this country should
take courage, no matter how general
the effect of the great war. The posi-
ton of the American farmer is the
most secure of all the classes. He
is at least sure of living, with shell
ter and plenty to eat, says American
Cultivator. No other large class can
be sure of that much. but there Is
more than merely security for the
farmers.
While the rest OF the worlds pro-
ducers are fighting and consuming
food products, somebody must raise
more food, and nowhere else in the
world is there such a great area OF
the best of producing land, under
intelligent management and worked
with modern machinery. Under the
SPUR of high prices the soil Of our
farms could be made to produce far
more than at present. The crop OF
most farms could be doubled II the
price of the product looked attrac-
tive.
II seems quite certain that the ne
cessities of life will 60 higher in price,
not only for this year. but for the next
The farmers of Europe who are now
in the armies will hardly be able to
do much with this years crop, nor
probably with the crop for next year.
There will surely be a great difficulty
in maintaining the food supply Of the
populous nations Of Europe. There
may be difficulty in securing means
of shipment, and 1t may be hard for
the buyers to find the cash, but these
needs will have to be met by the peo-
ple Of Europe. Both those at war and
those at peace must be fed. Our ex-
porters are not very likely to sell any
thing unless paid for in advance. Sew.
eral of the nations that are usually
the chief customers in food products
will be likely to control the sea. and
thus allow free shipment of food. at
least to their own ports. II will be
a time when the demand will be fol-
! the necessities rather than the luxu
ries. There will be, perhaps, less
money. both at home and abroad, tc

the demand will be enormous for such
staples as grain, -four. meats and DO

food articles like butter. cheese ant
