Report of Grand Jury.

We, the undersigned members of
the Grand Jury for the April term,
1915, do hereby report that we have
visited the County Home and that
we found every thing in first class
condition, with the exception of the
kitchen, which leaks badly and in
our opinion is too small and we
would recommend that a new kit
chen be built.

EACH PAIR OF BIRDS
IN THE UNITED STATES
HAS ACRE OF LAND
Winged Population Much Less Than
It Ought to Be, Say Depart
ment Experts

Washington, Feb. ia census
OF birds Of the United States an
nounced by the department Of agri-
culture today, shows an average OF
sixty pairs OF English sparrows to
the square mile or seven to every
100 native birds throughout the
country.
The robin is the most numerous
bird, with the English sparrow a
close second. In the northeast, rob-
ms average six pairs to each farm
of fifty-eight acres, while English
sparrows average five pairs per farm.
AS for density Of population on
each acre of farm land there was
an average Of one pair Of birds. The
bird population is much less than II
ought to be, according to department
experts.

1t few times. Another sailor hat
had very small high crown with
a wide brim. This also was trim
med with single length Of picot
edged ribbon, which tied with two
long loops and ends which fell to
the waistline. OF such are fads made!
Last year, as a "feeler." crinoline
gowns were shown at the early spring
openings. together with the close
fitting Directoire gowns. which re-
ally had the greatest influence on
the early spring and summer styles.
These fluffy gowns showed dainty
little pantalets below, and, OF course,
in its adjustment these were dropped
off, and merely the full skirts dain-
tily ruffled and bodices sometimes
pointed in the front and with round
dropped shoulder effects were taken.
These are the prominent features of
the dresses which are shown for the
spring and summer.
This season the decided Dutch and
peasant styles are what the dress
makers are showing to the multitude
of women and 1t still remains to be
seen what will be their decision.
The ample costumes Of the Slavic
peasant women who in some cases
wear twelve or fifteen stiffened pet
ticoats at time are proving inspira

or and the under sleeve or another
is an extremely effective idea adop-
ted from the Slavic peasant costume.
In black and white chiffon 1t is both
striking and attractive. Very short
sleeves, directly traceable to the long
shoulder line and the 1880 period,
are quaint and charming when added
to a frock with the dropping shout
der effect.
There are the bell and other shapes
for cutting the sleeves and frills OF
varying widths and design at the
wrist, as well as many odd little cuffs
round or pointed.
The trimmings for spring dresses
are varied. For black and white
there are jet spangles and white
beads in patterns often heavy in APP
pearances, but light in weight. Mill.
tary braids in black, dreadnaught
gray and in colors matching the
dress goods shades are used. Japa-
nese and Chinese embroideries will
lend their enlivening colors to the
neutral co orings which are so smart.
Buttons in brass, silver, gun metal
and steel are in large demand Tor
militia costumes, and the vegetable
ivory buttons are made in the aver
age colors of dress goods.

SPRING COSTUMES
SHOW SLAVIC PEAS
ant INFLUENCE
The High Collar Vies with the Comfort
of the Dutch Square Cuffs and
Frills Finish Sleeves

which often reach only to the knees
are worn high boots. Paul Poiret
tried very hard to introduce high
boots, but failed; now the peasant
styles have launched them, and al
ready Parisians are wearing boots
with their walking :ostumes-not as
high as the knees, but more than half
way to the knee. In the United
States this idea will probably be
modified to unusually high lace or
button shoes.
The full skirts are shown with the
greater fulness at the sides, which Is
much more graceful than the barrel
shape, which is given by the hoop. A
few dressmakers, however, to the con-
trary, are showing their dresses over
petticoat which is reeded at the
knees.
The uneven hem is often the re.
suit of this distribution of fulness,
is endorsed by Dame Fashion. Yoke
effects have been introduced this sea
son with the yoke often in a con-
trasting color. This yoke is an easy
evolution from the low waistline.
Another idea borrowed from peas
ant costumes is the apron effect with
openings at either side showing
fluffy petticoat beneath.
Costumes and suits show the nor
NAL and high waistline, but are dis
tinctly different from the old time
Empire lines. The real Empire line
is decidedly ugly with the full skirt
but the slightly raised waistline &C
companying the full short skirt is
much more artistic than the long
WASTED blouses and these same full
skirts.
The length Of the suit jacket or
coat must also be considered In re-
lation to the length Of the skirt.
Note my second illustration, and the
placing Of the belt at a short waist
line. beneath which the lower part
of the jackets shows moderate fui'
ness. The skirt below Is full and
slightly fiaring.
A decidedly new note in the spring
styles is the change in the collars oil
waists and dresses. The military OF
high buttoned up effects will doubt
less be the most in evidence. The
square or Dutch neck is excellent FOL

CONCRETE AND TILE S|LOS ARE DUR.

An anonymous booklet, evidently
prepared to discourage farmers from

recently been circulated in some
parts OF the country. The booklet
consists OF photographs of cracked
and collapsed silos, and the examples
shown represent what may happen

not be used to discredit these types
OF silos.

red to one of concrete or OF other
durable material. Where lumber is
cheap, or where stone and gravel can
not be readily obtained, the first cost
Of wooden silo may be less than
that of a concrete silo. But for a
permanent structure II Is generally
best to construct of tile, concrete, ce-
nent block, or some other durable
material. Silos properly built OF
these materials are not likely to be
damaged by winds. They must be
properly reinforced, however, or they
will crack and eventually fall down

is not based on facts.

and concrete silos may be obtained
by applying to the Department of Ag-
riculture.
