STYLES FOR STOUT WOMEN
She Of Ample Proportions Is in Many
Ways Exceptionally Favored
Just Now.

II is now possible for the stout wom-
an to secure ready-made garments
with the much-desired individuality in
style. Flare effects may appear at the
hips. knees or hem of the skirt. but for
stout women the fullness Is dropped
below the hips by means OF a skirt
yoke, by the use OF panel sections or
by the circular cut of the skirt
Long lines IN the center front and in
the center back may extend from the
bodice into the skirt, the sides having
broken lines over the hips. Snug fitting
bodices for stout women have the
girdle arranged in pointed outline. CIV
ing a longwaisted appearance. or the
bodice may be cut in pointed line.
Other becoming features are the set
in sleeves with a narrow shoulder line.
Then there is the fullness at the top
Of the sleeve which makes the arm
taper at the elbow and takes away the
appearance OF extra size at the waist
line by producing graceful taper
from the shoulder line. The drapery
of soft, looped-up folds well below the
hips is suitable for stout women.

WITHDRAWAL OF TROOPS FROM
MEXICO INEVITABLE.

San Antonio, Texas, April 22.-Maj.
Gen. Hugh l.. Scott, chief of staff of
the United States army, and Maj. Gen.
Funston, in charge of operations along
the frontier and in Mexico, personally
discussed the problems last night
which have grown out of the punitive
expedition in pursuit of villa.
General Scott arrived from Wash
ington last night. General Scott pro-
fessed not to know whether the Amer
lean troops we're to be recalled with
out having captured Villa. He was
sent here by the Secretary of War to
discuss the situation in detail with
General Funston and to make to the
secretary a personal report. Whether
radical development in the Mexican
situation is made early next week will
depend on how complete General Hugh
l.. Scott regards the information which
General Funston is able to lay before
him, and upon the time it will require
Secretary Baker, after General Scott
renders his report, to decide upon
some new course of action. Officers
here are convinced that General Scott
will admit the futility of continuing
the pursuit of Villa under the exist
ing circumstances.

BEDS HURT IN BOURBON
COUNTY.
Bourbon News.)

Several Bourbon county tobacco
growers have reported that the heavy
frost of last Monday morning caused
considerable loss to the tobacco beds,
and many of them are completely
ruined. These were where the plants
were up. or just starting in the soil,
as the ground was frozen more than
an inch in depth.
Some of the tobacco growers will
not resow their tobacco beds until the
coming week, as many of those who
had supposedly early plants, will be
compelled to re-sow. AS a result of
this loss to the plants, some of the
most prominent tobacco growers of
Bourbon county contend that the set
ting Of tobacco will be late and that
the crop will. in the main, be one of
the latest in many years.
These growers are of the opinion
that the frost did no material damage
to the fruit crop.
