AS the season progresses the
liking for lacings is increasingly
manifest. Bcdices lace in front,
peasant fashion, and skirts lace
at the back or at some other point
that emphasizes the line. Rather
large cords are the rule for these
lacings. and many are covered
with silk to match or contrast
with the dress. Spikes of var
ious sorts usually finish the ends.
Nets, Fringes and Plaitings.
Considerable use is made of
narrow fringes and ball trim
mings of jet and galoon. These
are used to edge the scallops, tur-
rets, and points that are a very
notable fad for skirt trimmings,
especially at the foot line. Mar
row knife plaitipgs Of tafieta silk
are similarly employed for all
sorts of fussy frocks, where an
irregular foot edge is desired.
Cordings of taffeta or of the dress
material are perhaps the most
popular device for very full cir

Where Do Birds LIVE
During the Winter?

Everybody knows that birds,
when they migrate in the fall,
generally ''go south, but knowl-
edge is seldom more specific.
Bulletin 1876 of the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture on Bird
Migration" brings out the fact
that, although some birds go to
Florida or the West Indies or
Mexico, others, such as the bob
olink and rice bird, go as far
south as Paraguay and the south
Elm part of Brazil. Still other
birds, such as the chimney swift,
has outwitted the watchful eye
of bird students and the where
abouts of it's winter home is the
swift's secret. With troops of
fedglings catching their winged
prey as they go and lodging by
night in the tall chimneys, the
flocks drift slowly south, joining
with other fiocks, until on the
northern coast of the Gulf of
Mexico they become an innum-
erable host. Then they disap-
pear.

chosen representatives. He does
not subscribe to the belief that
in one man can be centered all
wisdom and he most assuredly
takes exception to the following
utterance which appeared the
past week in a newspaper that
has been a strong advocate of
the Cox idea of Capitalization
1T is interesting to observe that
the evolution of this nation is
toward Capitalization more and
more, aud that the popular will
is reflected in the judgment of
one man.
The very opposite of that is
the sentiment of Governor Willis
and no pledge that he made dur
ing the campaign is more indeli-
bly, fixed with him than the pledge
not to club or dictate to the leg
islature. He is firm in the con-
viction that the Republican men,
bers of the legislature are deter
mined to fulfill the party's pledg-
es, that they will act without
dictation and that the people will
have every reason to be pleased
with the work accomplished.
The truth is that the present leg
islature, Embossed and uncontrol-
led, has accomplished more in
the same length of time than was
accomplished by the Cox legisla-
ture-that subservient as it was,
the Cox legislature passed most
of it's measures during the last
ten days of April. Governor Viii
lis is willing to abide by the final
results of the present truly rep
resentative General Assembly.

Crop Conditions.

The opening of spring shows
Ohio wheat in a rather noor
growing condition. The estim-
ate is 88 per cent compared with
an average. The amount of the
crop of 1914 still in producers
hands is estimated at IL per cent.
On the corresponding date one
year ago the condition of wheat
was estimated at IS per cant. ; ID
per cent of the crop of the pre-
cedihg year was then in produc-
ers' hands.
The poor condition of wheat is
generally attributed to damage
by alternate thawing and freez-
ing. Especially was the month
of March severe on the plant.
There is also some complaint of
damage by Hessian fly. This,
however, is not very general ov-
er the state. The present acre
age seeded is estimated at l ,828,-
267 acres. The harvest should
produce approximately the same
number OF bushels as in 1914.
j Under normal conditions of
growth Ohio will show ho mater
ial advance in wheat production
until a largely increased area is
sown. The present market value
of wheat is reported at 81 AZ per
busheI.
The condition of winter barley
is estimated at SO per cent, while
rye condition is reported at 81
per cent.
Corn in crib is in excellent con-
dition. Little or no complaint of
mould or rot. The damage to
the urhusked crop is estimated
at IL per cent. Spring plowing
is we'll advanced, and many cor
respondents note that an unusu-
ally large corn area will be pre-
pared. The present market price
of corn is reported at 76 cents
per bushel.
Compared with a normal yield,
fruit prospect is estimated at 88
per cent. Fruit buds are back
ward owing to cool weather. The
number reported winter killed is
but Z per cent, as against 26 per
cent reported on the correspond
ing date in 1914. The general
fruit outlook is most promising.

tune demand corresponding ac-
cessOries, and there are no end
of fancy styles in parasols that
go admirably with such pictur-
eSque lines. Flqt-topped, Japa-
pese parasols, known as Chin
Chins," " with long tips of ivory,
shell or black bone, caught under
a matching ring when the para
sol is closed, Pagoda-like tops
shirred andeorded in many ways,
star shaped parasols shirred on
heavy contrasting cords at the
centre of each rib with bindings
of the contrasting color. Stripes
are very smartly employed and
run in all directions, but usually
across on the fiat shapes, and
Iengthwise on the shirred styles.
Combinations of plain and striped
or fOwered silks are in endless
variety, and result in very strik-
ing designs. The average para
sol of the season is nothing if not
pronounced in design and color
ing. Even the black and whites
are staringly prominent.
Buttons Everywhere.
Buttons are extremely popular
as a trimming factor, and ore of
the most used styles is a four
eyed black bone button with a
matching rim. These are used
on woOlen dresses and suits, es-
pecially on serges and covert and
gabardines, but silk and silk pop
Inns are also trimmed with this de-
cidedly utilitarian style of button
now that it is faddish. Pearl but
tons of the same type are very
much used with linen ana heavy
cotton materials. In metal but
tons ball shapes are leading, es-
pecially in pierced designs, in
dull steel coloring.

Style Tips from New

The average we'll dressed wO-
man here wears a wash blouse
with her spring suit, and it is apt
to be of crepe either silk or cot
ton made on smart tailored lines,
and decidedly loose as 10 fit, whe-
ther the wearer is young and
slender, or otherwise. Cotton
voile and batiste makesBhany at
tractive waists. and the latter
shcw many ruffies down the front
and at the wrist, but embroidery
and lace are sparingly employed
in the best models. Striped eff
fects with the stripes widely
spaced and decided in coloring,
are reckoned excellent style. The
set-in sleeve has quite superseded
the kimono, and the shoulder line
setting is the popular mode,
though in a few smartly tailored
blouses in linen and pongee silks,
the raglan sleeve that extends to
the neck is employed. Collars of
red and blue linen are used on
white waists-a French idea for
reproducing the red, white and
blue, of their flag and ours also.

Columbus Letter.

the campaign last fall, Mr.. Willis
took particular pains to state that
he was not conducting a political
battle in order to turn the affairs
of the state over from one set of
Office holders to another set Of
Office holders, 1t will be our first
duty, if we succeed, he said re-
peatedly, to reduce the number
of Offices and reduce the paw |;
then, when we are through re-
ducing, if there is anything left,
we will see about distributing the
offices among ourselves. But in
each instance, Mr.. Willis was EN-
phatic in making it clear that his
was not a campaign Of spoils and
that the first thing to be done
would be to reduce the number
of jobs as we'll as the pay.
That Mr.. Willis was sincere
when he made that pledge and
that he is doing everything in his
constitutional power to have it
fulfilled not even his most biased
opponents will attempt to deny.
So far as he has been able to do
so, he has cut salaries and eliml-
mated positions, and the legisla-
ture, having in mind the pledge
and the Governors determina-
ton to have it fulfilled, is pro-
ceeding along lines that will ell
inmate scores of jobs and ac-
complish thousands of dollars of
economy in practically every de-
partment.
None of Mr.. Willis's campaign
pledges were hastily or idly made.
They were made conscientiously
and his first public utterance, af-
ter his election, it will be re-
called, was to the effect that the
pledges of the campaign would
be CARRIED out or he would "know
the reason why" If anyone
thinks for a single moment that
Governor Willis has forgotten
any of the pledges that were
made by Candidate Willis he has
another guess coming, for those
who know him well know that he
possesses a marvellous memory
and he never forgets promises or
campaign pledges.
Another pledge that Candidate
Willis made over and over again
was that he would not seek to.
boss the legislature. He did not
say that he would not consult,
confer and co operate with the
legislature. He said he would
not exceed his constitutional
function and that he would not
attempt to dictate or force legis-
lation. This pledge he has not
forgotten and he intends fulfill
ing it to the letter. He believes
that representative government
is at stake and Embossed legisla-
ton was the keynote of the last

tee that an army Of that force can
be turned out "between sunrise and

us imagine. II takes, with the very
best material, months to make a use
full soldier; years to make an officer
capable of training or handling sol

It is apparent that the West Point
method Of producing officers is not
capable Of such expansion as could
possibly turn out the numbers this
country might need in a great war,
While it is not to be presumed that
we shall require the millions that
Britain has now recruited. yet we
must be equipped to provide vastly
greater numbers of officers than the
West Point system could turn out
and this alone dictates that there
must be some sharp notifications
