these loops holds the band in place and is concealed under a strand of hair.
 Fastened on the band at one side is a cluster of grayish blue full-bloWn roses of velvet, with small sprays of tiny rose foliage in sage green. One might wear such subdued colors with almost any costume. The sparkle of the rhinestones gives life to the pretty affair, and altogether it's beauty makes an instant appeal
 The second ornament is made of a narrow bias strip of cerise velvet, hemmed in a very narrow hem at each side, into which a fine shirring wire is run. It is mounted with rhinestones supported by silk-cOvered wire, as in the first ornament described The vel vet terminates in long pointed ear outlined with a strand of rhinestones

UNIFORM SYSTEM
 OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS
A PRESIDENTIAL MANDATE HAS BEEN ISSUED TO CHINESE MIN
 ISTER OF EDUCATION.
The Schools. According to the Plan. Are to Be Modern, Patterned After Western Ideas to Large Degree.

Picking, Feb. PA presidential mandate has been issued instructing the minister of education to prepare the way for a uniform system of pub nc schools to be established through out China. The schools according to the plan, are to be modern, pattern ed after western ideas to a large degree, but not to the extent of dis earding the best teachings of China's ancient sages, to whom the culture of the nation is due"
 The following passages appear ia the mandate, which is long and ex. planatory, in the usual style of the mandates issued by President Yuan Shikai
 The prosperity or decay, and the strength or weakness of a nation are chiefly determined by the morality, intelligence and physical strength of the people; and if we desire to in- crease the standard of these three yir- tues our first attention should be paid to the education of the people.
 Tn the foreign countries numerous scholars devote their time to the writing of works on special branches of science. and from eighty to ninety per cent of the population can read and write. But in this country books are mere reproductions Original works are as few as the waning stars in early morning.
 If we recall the days of the Chow dynasty we find that every individual was scholar; but such days are past and we have them no more. It is more than 2,O0O years since the days of the Chin and Han dynasties, and the ancient civilization has failed into decay.
 Now we aim at universal educa- tion, enabling every citizen of the country to be capable of government and to be rid of the old habit of de- pendence"

 As to the eventual effect of war on art, most artists are optimistic.

THERE is q greater variety of styles 6 and a greater latitude for the taste of the individual in afternoon gowns than m others. Something like uniformity is evidenced in costumes for the street; women confine their choice in dresses of this kind to one of half-doZen tor even fewer) ac- cepted styles. But in the afternoon gown they are inclined to run after strange gods. However, these are the gods of unpretentious and conserya- tive styles, it seems, and a definite simplicity is an apparent governing idea in a great many of the new modes. But afternoon gowns are not to be measured by any rule, and there is no harm in repeating that the indi- vidual may follow her own sweet will in selecting the styles that please her best.
 A radical departure from accepted styles was evident in the afternoon dress pictured here, when it first ap,

peared. It was one of those produced by Kurzman, for the display of Ameri- can designs, at New York. Among many lovely things it was admired and praised, but was so different in outline from prevailing modes that it became something of sensation.
 It is clearly set forth in the picture and so plain that it hardly needs de- scription. It is made of corded silk, has plain, flaring skirt and an equally plain boned bodice. The sleeves are very short, with turned-back cuffs of the material, and a fichu finishes the neck. There is no frill or fall of lace, no girdle, no embroidery or other or namentation. It is almost austere and is saved by it's quaintness and pictur- esque attributes. Since the advent of this gown doubts as to the coming of the wide rippled skirt may be said to ha e disappeared; it no longer looks unusual

stool as much as alfalfa The shoots
start from the main stem and on
this account the moving machine
should be set high so as to leave
plenty of small shoots to start the
next crop.
Third: Sweet clover does not
cause bloat in cattle or sheep as
readily as alfalfa. 1t is a good pas
ture and a good milk producer.
Fourth: 1t is valuable crop in
rotation because its roots decay rap
idly, adding much humus to the soil
Fifth Sweet clover is one of the
best crops to use for plowing under
green.
Sixth: Sweet clover will grow on
land too wet for alfalfa
Seventh: 1t needs firm solid
seed bed. The ground should not be
loose. Many failures on plowed land
are due to too loose seed bed
Eighth: Sweet clover should not
be allowed to stand too long if want

ed for hay, as it becomes woody and
loses it's leaves. 1t should be cut,
perhaps. three times under our con-
ditions in the Valley.
Ninth: The majority of farmers
recommend the Biennial Yellow as
the best variety for our conditions
after having tried both the White
and yellow.
There are many acres of land in
the San Luis Valley which, at pres
ent are producing little or no re-
turns, that would grow Sweet clover
With the experience of many farm
ers here, as well as in other sections
of the country, one need not hesitate
to use this crop on such land. The
prejudice that many have against
-Swee. clover as weed should not be
allowed to stand in the way of max
ing this land produce a good pasture
or hay crop. A little observation
here in the Valley will convince any
one that stock will eat Sweet clover
The Monte Vista journal., 1915-04-17

Sweet clover has been raised as a
crop on few farms In the San Luis
Valley for the past eight years.
Within the past two or three years
great amount of interest has been
taken in this crop because 1t has
been successfully grown upon land
that was considered too wet and too
strong with alkali for any crop. This
Is a plant that seems to be able to
grow where 1t is too wet for alfalfa.
as well as where it is too dry for it.
1t seems to be good crop for break
ing in new land in the wet portions
OF the Valley.
Mr.. G.. w. Inman. of La lara, says
the following in this connection
Last year | raised ten bushel and
twelve pounds of seed per acre on
about the worst alkali land in the
Valley" In preparing the land he
cleared off heavy stand of chico
and grease wood. The land was then
plowed in the spring. leveled, disked
leveled again and then seeded with
seventeen pounds of unhulled seed
per acre. The seed was sowed
broadcast the 1st of May, narrowed
in and irrigated the second time the
last OF July. Mr.. ipman says that it
comes earlier in the spring than al
falfa and remains green until hard
freezing in the fall
Mr.. B. l.. Van Vechten, president
of the La lara State bank, in letter
OF March 10. gives the following ex-
perience:
Sweet clover has proved a very
valuable crop with me. In 1913
plowed under the stubble of 90 acres
OF Sweet clover and planted the land
to barley. The barley made 60 bu.
to the acre, and the volunteer second
years growth of Sweet clover in the
barley made seed crop that brought
more money than the barley crop
that was grown with it,
During the past season har-
vested 25 acres of the pure Yellow
Blossom Sweet clover that netted me
$40 an acre after paying for irrigat-
ing. harvesting, threshing and mar
keting. There is now on this 30
acres good stand of Sweet clover
that came up last spring and grew
along with the seed crop and this will
make good hay. pasture or seed
crop this year. Thus this biennial
plant has the property of maturing a
crop every year on the same ground.
During the fall and winter this
same field has furnished good pas
ture for herd of hogs and it will be
the first green feed to come on in the
spring. On 10 acres of sweet clover
land have a perfect stand and
strong growth of alfalfa that was
planted with barley last spring. My
experience has been that the Yellow
Biennial Sweet clover is greatly SUI
perior to the later and coarser
White, makes a hay of finer quality
and can be pastured more closely
without injury-to the plant"
Another farmer from this district.
Mr.. c. II. Trip. has been growing the
Yellow Biennial Sweet clover for the
past eight years. He finds that it
anords the most pasture of any crop
that he can raise, and that horses,
cattle and hogs do we'll on it, Cattle
sometimes bloat. but the danger is
much less than with alfalfa. This
farmer states that good stand will
easily pasture two head of horses or
cattle per acre. He finds that 1t is
easily plowed after the roots have
