ceived notice from the Wylie CON-
pany of Yellowstone National Park
that her application for. position
with them has been accepted. When
Miss Shannon first applied, three
years ago, she was informed by the
Wylie office in Minneapolis, that
there were 1900 applicants ahead of
her and that she practically had no
chance at all. However, she has per-
sistently kept her application in
since then and was rewarded by the
notice to report at Camp Gibbon,
where she will be stationed for the
season. Before leaving yellowstone
in the fall, she will take the trip
through the park. The Wylie COM.

ing yesterday, Mrs. E. H. Denu and
Mrs. c. e. Battles, delegates Of the

Federated Clubs at Deerwood, gave
very interesting reports of the con?

fifty delegates representing "a fed
Grated clubs were entertained by the
Civic League in Deerwood, Of which
Mrs. P. A. Cough is president. Mrs.
L., D. Brown Of Little Falls was again
elected president of the district, to
serve for two years. In her talks to
the delegates she urged that the level
of clubs be raised, saying that the
study and aim Of all women's: clubs
should be the culture of -womanhood,
the advancement of wOmanhOOd and
the good of little children. Promin-
ent speakers present were Mrs. w. T.
Coe, the state president, and Miss
Margaret Foley of Boston. Miss Foley
was quite a feature of the conven-
ton, for she is a militant suffragette
of pronounced type. She has just
completed tour of the southern
states, and came to Deerwood from
the Mississippi Valley Suffrage con-
ference held in Minneapolis. Avery
up-to-date report from Sank Centre
contained quite a fly story. The La
dies club of that place, endeavoring
to hold a "Swat the Fly campaign
first organized a thorough cleanup,
removing all refuse from the city
which, acted as fly breeders. They
then placed 90 fly traps about the
city with boys in attendance to see
that they were kept emptied. At the
close of the summer their records
showed that 945 barrels of flies had
been collected. Computing what the
increase would have been, had they
not conducted the campaign, and had
left the 945 barrels of flies to breed,
they found that there, would have
been six carloads or 90 tons of flies
at large in Sank Centre. The con-
vention next year will be held in May

PROPER CARE OF MACHINERY
Implements Exposed to Moisture Rust
Out Rapidly-Coat All Metals
With Cheap Oils.

Machinery, where exposed to mois-
ture, rusts out very rapidly. In fact,
rust does more damage to the ex-
posed machinery than the work which
the implement is called upon to do.
This is 4 needless waste, however.
because rust can practically be over
come by taking the proper care Of the
machine when not in use.
Farmers could get more than twice
as much wear out of most implements.
if they were housed properly. This
alone will not suffice in some climates.
A very good way to keep the rust from
attacking iron parts exposed to mois-
ture is to coat all the iron with very
cheap OIL This oil should be thick
and heavy, SO that when applied to
the iron it Will not run off.
This coating Of oil will keep all of
the moisture away from the iron and
therefore will prevent rust from start
ing.

BOBCLINK BEING WIPED OUT
"Sportsmen" Accused Of Practically
DISCRIMINATING This Sweet-Sirging
Friend Of the Farmer.

Years ago the bobolink was a not
uncommon summer resident and nest
ing bird in suitable sections of north
ern New Jersey. Today there is lit
tie evidence that it's status in the state
embraces more than semi-yearly visits
during spring and fall migration
periods.
The reason is not far to seek. I'm
der the name of reed bird" it has
been classed as a game bird and its
shooting permitted under the laws of
the state during the months of Sep
TENDER, October, November and De-
cember. The present regulations I'M
der the federal migratory bird law
shorten this open season to the months
Of September and October, but they
are subject to change at any time at
the behest of the gunners.
The wonderful song Of the bobolink,
that prince of songsters, therefore, is
rarely heard now hereabouts. The
demand of a few marsh gunners for
the legal right to shoot this bird Of
valuable insectivorous habits out
weighs the agricultural interests and
the esthetic pleas in it's behalf. That
incompatible rollicking melody is
hushed over all the New Jersey mead
ows, because this bird, without a
single attribute of a game bird, is
claimed by a few pseudo sportsmen
as exclusively their own.-Exchange.

In planning negligees one must con-
slider just what purposes they are to
serve, and choose the materials and
style accordingly. The dressiest ones
Of today are worn over petticoats, en-
pire slips, or harem trousers made of
silk or satin, and are long coats of
thin materials Qike chiffon or crepe
or organdie or printed voile), lace and
ribbon trimmed. The garment to be
worn under them is Of equal impor-
lance and often serves no other pur-
pose than to complete the negligee.
The most practical of elegant neg
ligees are those made of thin wash
fabrics elaborated with dainty laces
and embroidery, to be worn over silk
petticoats or lace-trimmed skirts.
Fine plain white goods in all the sheer
and dainty weaves, are used fer max
Ing them. They are much trimmed
with lingerie lace and hand needle
work on the body, and skirts open
down the front with band or wide
tucks about the bottom.
Besides the all-white cotton materi-
ais figured voiles and printed mulls

If one has nothing Of more impor-
lance to do, the chambray and glng-
ham everyday play clothes for the lit
tie boy of five or so may be made at
home. But clothes Of this kind are
manufactured so we'll and so cheaply
that there is no economy in doing the
work at home.
In buying material there is economy
IN getting enough for several suits and
cutting them out at the same time.
Plain and striped or checked patterns
are used together, as shown in the H.
lustration. The pieces left after the
garments are cut serve to make the
pockets, cuffs, collars, bands, ETC., ard
those of the plain fabric are used on
the checked or striped suit, or those
of the checked on plain suits.
Just now suits made with plain pants
with striped and belted Russian
blouses are much the fashion for lit
tie BOYS, worn with leather belts in
black. Bright red, blue, green or
brown make the stripes against a white
or unbleached ground, demonstrating
that even the toys of the youngest ath-
letes take some note Of the fad for
sports clothes. But the stanch quail
ties of old and tried fabrics, like those
shown in the picture, always give
them first place in the consideration
of manufacturers.
The ronpers shown at the left CT
the picture may be had in chambray,
coarse linen or heavy cotton weaves.
The body and pants are set together
at the front under belt Of checked
bingham. The belt buttons at one side
and the pocket and cuffs to match IT
finish this useful garment neatly.
The suit at the right shows the re-

effects in less expensive designs. They
are patterned after models in crepe or
chiffon that are very filmy and beauti-
full. One Of these crepe designs is
shown in the picture, worn over pet

with skirt Of plated crepe and
bloused bodice, with shawl drape OF
wide shadow lace. A big rosette-bow
of satin ribbon, with ends half yard
long, is chosen in a color to match tho
color prevailing In the negligee. Maize,
pale green, rcse blue, and pink are
liked best, ana some lavender and or
child tints are exquisite. The color Is
chosen with reference to the petit
coat, or the petticoat with reference
to the color.

crepe and lace in the crown. Narrow

DOES POPCORN PAY?
Foundation of Agriculture In
Many of the States.
Profit Depends Largely on Fa~mers
Ability to Secure Good Quality,
Store Crop Properly and Mar
ket It Advantage ousIy.
(By =. p. HARTLEY

(By -. +. HARlLU1.)
The question Does it pay to grow
POPCORN" is frequently asked, and the
answer is yes" 1t pays to grow pop
corn, but owing to the limited market
Tor this crop it would not be advisable
to begin its culture on a large scale.
The supply at present just about
equals the demand. No farmer should
expect to grow rich in few years
time by growing popcorn. II the good
years are averaged up with the poor
ones, this crop will be found to pay
about as we'll as field corn. Any farm
er in the compromising states can
produce popcorn, but the profit de-
ponds largely upon the producers abil"
ity to grow popcorn of good quality,
store his corn properly, and market it
aavantageously.
The main portion of the crop which
find it's way to the large markets is
grown in a few localities in Iowa and
Nebraska by farmers who make a
specially of producing and handling
popcorn. Usually from 10 to SO acres
are grown on single farms.
During the past, much Of the crop
was grown on contract, but at present
farmers are becoming more independ-
ent. Many have cribs OF their own in
which they store and cure their crop
and take chances on tho market ris-
ing higher than the contract price
or the price at harvest time. In Iowa
and Nebraska elevator men have been
accustomed to buying up the bulk of

WATER FOUNTAINS FOR HENS
for Indoor or Outdoor Uses-keep
Receptacle Covered.

There are various drinking fountains
on the market that are suitable for
indoor and outdoor uses. Any re-
ceptacle in which water is contained
should be covered to keep out the
dirt.
Drinking fountains should be raise1
from the floor and placed in such posi-
ton that the hens cannot scratch lit
ter into them, because it often occurs,
particularly in large fiocks, that before
many Of the hens are through feeding

A large quantity of popcorn is used
annually in the manufacture Of pop
corn package gocds-crackerjack and
other forms of popcorn confectionery.
In these the popped corn is coated
with a preparation of sugar, glucose
and molasses, and in some cases choc-
olate. Some packages contain small
quantities Of peanuts, and in others
both peanuts and sliced cocoanut are
mixed with the popcorn. Other prep
arations are corn bar, sugar-coated
popcorn, popcorn balls, and popcorn
bricks. All Of these goods have be-
come quite popular and are sold in
large quantities at parks, summer re.
sorts, picnics, fruitstands, stores, rail.

MAKING SUCCESS WITH HENS
Select Breed Liked Best and Begin
With Few Fowls, Increasing
Flock as You Learn.

Don't start in with 500 or 1000
hens and expect to make a success at
first. Select the breed you like best
and start with few, increasing the
flock as you learn how to care for
them. Study your feeding and bal
ance the ration so the hens can have
the material necessary for producing
eggs. If you expect to get eggs, you
must feed for eggs, Just as the dairy
man must feed for milk.

you mean Roscoe, dear"
IT don't. Oh, if he dares to ever ap-
proach me again!" and there Althea
broke down, the tears came, and she
ran into the house precipitately, leav-
ing her friend without warning, and
had good cry.
ooh, it was shameful" she told her
self, when vexation and the womanly
caprice of feeling abused succeeded
to the first outburst. True, they were
not engaged-true, further, he had
spoken no word of love, but for nearly
a month she and Roscoe Blinn had mu-
tually realized that they loved one an
other. Even to observing outsiders
this had become unmistakable.
Althea sat down with great delibera-
ton. She felt herself as hard as steel
and immovable as marble. Half a dozen
times she wrote and tore up a note
formal in it's tone, then cutting, then
fairly cruel.
There, that will do" she decided,
with flashing eyes, but dewy, and her
pretty lips set firmly, but quivering.
ooh, it's all over-the beautiful, beau
tiful dream!" she walled, and threw
herself face down on the couch-and
wept again as though her tender but
rebellious heart would break.
Then came gloom, it might be called
desperation. She felt herself to be
somber executioner Of love. She did
not read the note of dismissal, disdain
and severity again. She sealed it, ad-
dressed it, affixed stamp, put on her
wraps and left the house like some
heroine going to her doom.
It was at a busy corner that Althea
came across the first mail box. How
her heart f1uttered as she opened the
slot of the iron receptacle and held
the fatal missive poised. Even there
she debated.
Il believe I'll wait till morning.
Then l will be gone, before he knows
of my Plans" she cheated herself into
saying.
BEG pardon, miss"
But Althea only uttered a little cry
of concern and dismay, as man hur-
rying for a car jostled against her. He
had vanished by the time she had fair
1y realized that the letter had slipped
from her fingers into the box.
"I-I wish l hadn't" she gasped.
ooh, dear!"
She stood there, her troubled pose
attracting the attention of passers-by.
She became conscious Of this, and, en-
barrassed, crossed the pavement to
the shelter of an snbrasUs in the wall
OF the nearest building.

LLOYD-GEORGE STANDS FOR
MORE VIGOROUS WAR POLICY
New British Premier Formally Takes
OffIce-Liberals and Labor Party
Pledge Support.

London, Dec. 9. 49, David Lloyd
George, at Buckingham palace, for
mally kissed the kings hand on his
acceptance of the Office Of prime min.
lister and first lord of the treasury.
This indicates that in an unexpectedly
short time the new premier sees his
way to the formation of an admins
tration, and he probably was able to
submit to the king a preliminary draft
list of the principal proposed minis
ters.
Doubtless much remains to be done
in the way of the ALLEGATION of the new
posts and so far as the public is con-
cerned, the personnel Of the ministry
is a matter of pure speculation. But
the premier still has plenty of time
before he has to meet Parliament,
Tuesday, to complete details, and he
doubtless will be in a position to pres
ent to the House of Commons his new
national ministry. representing all par
ties with the possible exception of the
Nationalists, and a more vigorous pol
icy in the conduct of the war.
