Practice opening the eyes under wa

conditions there is much to be seen and
enjoyed in the queer, ghostly light be-

priceless value. It is one of the attr1-

readily mastered. But do not open the

Seed POTATO Outlines

The fact that the seed end half of the
potato gives an earlier crop than the
other half suggests the expediency of
cutting all potatoes lengthwise when
halves or quarters are to be planted.
In this way one or more eyes which
germinate first Will be secured on each
piece. Another advantage of cutting
lengthwise is that it insures a more

Is not practicable when very small cut
tings are to be made from long. slender
potatoes. since the amount of exposed
surface would render the long pieces
susceptible to injury both from mois-
ture and dryness. If 1t is desired to
cut the potato into small pieces the
operator should begin at the stem end.
and the pieces should be cut in com
pact shape and of as nearly equal size
as Is practicable without leaving any
piece devoid of eyes.

PROMISE TO REDUCE THE
COST OF LIVING
NOT KEPT.

Our opponents promised to
reduce the cost Of living. This
they have failed to do; but they
did reduce the opportunities of
making a living. Let us not for
get the conditions that existed
in this country under the new
tariff prior TO the outbreak of
the war. Production had de-
creased, business was anguish
ing, new enterprises were not
undertaken, instead Of expan-
sion there was curtailment, and
our streets were filled with the
unemployed. What ground is
there for expecting better con-
ditions when the unhealthy
stimulus of the war has spent
its force and our industries and
working-men are exposed to the
competition of an energized Eu-
rope?
1t Is plain that we must have
protective upbuilding policies.

Mrs. Grouse Saves Lightfoot.

49, way. @-.--s- AZ
When Lightfoot the Deer saved the
life Of Mira Grouse by startling the
hunter. so that he did not shoot, Light
foot had no thought. but to do Mrs.
Grouse a good turn. The feeling that
he had done something worth while
for friend was qaite reward enough.
When. later that day. Mrs. Grouse
Joined him and poured out her thanks
Lightfoot made light of the matter.
1T was nothing. just nothing at all,

would do as much for me-"
Indeed. I would" exclaimed Mrs.
Grouse. This Ii the time Of all times
In the year whom we should help each
other. and you may be sure never will
forget how you saved my life today.
Perhaps some day I may be able to do
something for you.'
Mrs. Grouse had her chance the very
next day. Mrs. Grouse is q very early
riser. At the first hint that jolly,

Mrs. Grouse starts out to search forxher
breakfast. Hunters with their terrible
guns are not likely to be abroad 50
early. and she can eat in peace. When
they do arrive she has nothing to think
about but to keep out Of their sight.
She can lie still In snug hiding place
without being tempted by a hungry
stomach to go roaming about in search
Of something to I'LL It. So on this par
ticular morning Mrs. Grouse was out
for her breakfast while 1t was yet
hardly light enough to see. To her
very great surprise she had hardly
half filed her stomach when she heard
a sound that drove all thought of eat
Ing from her mind. It was the sound
OF stealthy but heavy footsteps; a
sound she knew only too well. For
once one Of those dreadful hunters was
abroad as early as she. Swiftly she
ran to great pile of brush and crept
under IT. There she lay perfectly still.
dark there. and she was sure that no
hunter could possibly see her. II he
had no dog to smell her out he would
never know she was there.
Nearer and nearer came the foot
steps. and presently she saw the hunt
or. To her great relief there was no
dog with him. Straight to the great
pile Of brush he came. and there
stopped within few feet of whore she
was crouching. There he stood per-
fectly still. Little by little tho light

FASHIONS

The Paisley note is in evidence IN
many of the new smart street frocks
OF wool fabric, and indeed. this odd,
bright color touch really distinguished
a frock Of somber hue. 1t is a decided
relief from the coIored wool and bead
embroideries which have been so fash
ionable throughout the past few
months, and which continue to be re-
garded probably as the most popular
types of trimming in general use.
The frock shown in the sketch en-
ploys navy serge. with an oddly shaped
yoke extending also around the back
Of the bodice. cuffs and narrow. set-in
side panels of Pais1ey-real or imita-
ton. according to the ability of the
gowns owner to provide.
AS will be noted. this skirt breaks
we'll away from the straight-1ine eff
fects that have been in such high ia
vor. The skirt is comfortably wide,
laid in fat-pleated panels. These p1eats
are well pressed, as fullness without
