Often the collar that is substituted
for the original on a frock-the bit of
soft crepe or lace, the crisp organdie
or swiss or the fold of embroidered silk
is far more becoming than was the
original one with which the frock was
made or bought So, too. any minor de-
fects of fit are remedied as a frock
gets older. If the sleeves are fraction
of an inch too short they are length
cned with a piping frill If they
are too long. tiny tuck remedies the
defect, or the bottom, when it begins to
wear, is turned up the necessary
amount.
so just when a frock is ready to dis
card-to give to the long suffering
laundress or to cut into strips for silk
afghans or wool rugs-it has reached
its state of greatest hecomingness.

ABSOLUTELY WILSON.

"If President Wilson comes out oil
Mexico and handles the Mexican sit
uation as clearly and wisely as he has
the German situation so far, there
will be little use of the Republicans
nominating candidate ut Chicago
or anywhere else" is the way Il prom
inent Republican here is reported 10
have expressed himself Il few days
ago. The President has, no doubt
made some mistakes which could have
been avoided, had he been omnis-
cient But who or what man on earth
with human limitations could have
done better? He has kept us out OF
war. One of the most difficult and
complicated situations which has ev-
er confronted any ruler in history
has been handled, and it appears ami
cably settled so far, without the shed
ding of Il single drop of American
blood, or casting gloom ana sorrow
over a single American home. What
more is wanted? What more is nc.
cessary? The opinion expressed
seems altogether wise.
The United States needs Wilson or
some one just like him, and at this
writing there seems to be no other.

y SHORT LAY-SERMON.
Subject: 81 Should Worry"


Text Fret net thyselt because of
evil doors"
The Bible says, Fret not thyscl:
because of evil doers," not "evil do
ing" understand, but "evil doors"
That means the other fellow. The fell
low who is doing evil should worry
and fret himself until he quits his
meanness. Generally, however, he is
the very fellow who worries and talks
most of the evil doings of the other
fellow, instead of fretting himself
about himself. He uses the pitchfor:
when he should use the rake-take
things to himself instead of pitcbinc
everything on to the other fellows
pile.
The text says: Fret not thyself
because of evil doers." Wonder if
President Wilson has been able to
obey this injunction the past year or
so! a whole lot of folks, "evil do
ers" have been Fostering the Presi-
dent muchly of late-some on the in
side the line and many on the outside.
and some one both sides, and natural
conclusion would seem to be that he
would fret" great deal, and worry
and worry, and forget to read his
Bible or neglect to do so, and perhaps
go SO far as to lose faith, hope and
patience, and just cuss out the whole
push and give up the job, and Law
down the fiddle and the bow. the sbov.
ell and the hoe, and quit the Job, and
go back to teaching school. No! not
to teaching school, for, we are told
by school teachers that there ara
EVIL doers," lots of them, among
students, and if man doesn't want
to fret" himself he had better sta,
out OF the school room, but from
what we all know of MIR. Wilson h,
can teach school and "fret not" il
anybody can, but he is still on the iol
IN washington and just how mucl
1retting ne is doing is not known ex
cept Mr.. Wilson perhaps, and she
woman that she is-doesn't talk fo,
.puollcation. w don't see how he pre-
vents fretting sometimes. His calm
unruffied, heroic patience and for
oearance is the wonder of history. I
may be that Mr.. Wilson has read tba
other text which says something abou
a kind of charity-rare these DAVIS
which "thinketh no evil" and whic]
"suffereth long and is kind" If un
der all his provocations he has eve
lost his temper, even for moment
there is no record of it. He has born
the gibcs and insults of the big an,
the little with apparently absolut
indifference. When he is reviled h.
reviles not again.
The nearest he has come to sayin,

seen, W as over the Villa incident at
e H',l Gus, New Mexica, when word
ff''e led him that the bandit had raided
~" town on the American side and
+ .illed Americans. Mr.. Wilson order
led, "Take Villa, dead or alive" If
there was touch of anger in this
short, crisp command there was justi-
fication. Such evil doing is not cx-
cusable nor fretting over it unpar-
donable by any law.
The Great Father is said to be "an-
cry with the sinner every day" That
is, "angry" with sin and not the mis-
guided, foolish sinner, for to him is
held out, night and day, the offer of
pardon, and the olive branch of peace
waves across his path ut very step.
And so, Mr.. Wilson has held high and
aloft the olive branch in all the com
| plicated situations which have arisen
in the great overseas conflagration
and seen to it, us far as he was
able, that cannon should not boom
from our battleships, nor our people
made to mourn their dead on the
fields Of blood
No one can be happy who rrcts
| a mad man loses out nearly every
time, particularly if the other fellow
gets mad ut the same time. 1t is Il
safe and sane maxim TO "frct not.
Even in dealing with an unruly horse,
Tor mule, for instance, "mud"), it
doesn't pay to get mad. Many man
has busted his fist against mule or
horses head without causing the said
animal to bat its eye.
The man who gets mad at mule or
other animal, including hot headed
ncighbor, shows weakness instead of
strength. Anybody can get mad
Everybody gets mad sometimes, but
strength of will and reasonable sup
ply of grace, should enable all of us
to "sin not" even though we abe an
cry" Lets stop worrying and fret
ting over everything except our own
individual impcrfcctions.

THE FARM RUNNING AWAY.

After heavy rain one day last
spring the branches and creeks were
running full and swift with muddy
water. When that water fell from the
clouds it was not muddy, but perfect
ly clear. But it fell on nice, loose,
fertile soil, absorbed the soil and went
hurrying along to the great rivers
far away. That coloring matter in
the water was rich, top soil from the
farm, and every time it rains, part,
and no small part, of the best soil on
the farm is carried away Never al
low muddy water to leave the farm
says an authority. This cannot be
prevented entirely, but by care and Il
little skillful work, surface washing
can be largely prevented. a gully on

FARM NOTES.
(By j. l.. Montague, County Agricul-
tural Agcnt.)


tural Agcnt.)
Now is good time to run light
harrow or weeder over your corn. 1t
vii help hold the moisture and give
the corn cultivation with the mini
mum expenditure of labor. Some
farmers have rolled their corn land
after planting. This is a bad prac-
tice unless the roller is followed with
a light narrowing. The time to cul-
tivatc corn for maximum returns is
will permit working. The first Guilt
walton may be deep one, but to pre-
serve the rott system, all following
civilizations should be shallow.
The time to do deep blowing is in
the winter months, and not in the
summer while the crop is on the land.
Last week, the agent made trip
to Poor Valley. He found the farm
ers in that section busy planting,
shearing and cultivating their or
chards. These men are anxious to
learn the best and most economical
methods of farming. They are work
ing on plan to get lime to use on
their soils. If the vein oflimestone
which runs thru the valley proves to
be strong in lime, they will either get
Il crushcr, or build lime kiln. With
lime and clover, they can soon be max
ing bumper crops.
y five or ten acre field checkercd
off in n young orchard is not an un-
common thing in this valley. Two
years ago, an enterprising nursery
man sold the farmers some 5000
Stayman Wyansaps and York I'M
pcrials. These trees were carefully
set, and this spring are beginning to
make fine growth. They have all
been pruned and wormed. The or
chards are being worked in a cult
waited crop, and will be sown to Grim
son clover in the late summer. This
is to Returned to feed the trees.
1t is not that this section of the
county is going into the fruit industry
that makes it so noteworthy, but it is
good to see so many men working to-
gether. They are working together
using one anothers tools, and will CO.
operate in buying their spray outfits
and for marketing their fruits. OF
course the favored grazicrs with their
broad ranges Of bluegrass can make
good living Independent of others,
but the small farmers must learn to
cooperate with their neighbors be-
fore they are able to command their
holdings in prosperous way.

MARTIN AND GLASS.
Norfolk Ledgcr-Dispatch.)

1t now begins TO look as if there
would be something of an old-time
political scrap in Virginia when the
Democrats meet in June at Roanoke
The prospective contest is between
Rorer A. James owner of the Danvillc
Register, and Representative Carter
Glass, owner of the Lynchburg News,
for the position of national commit
teeman to succeed Mr.. Ellyson.
1t was stated some time back that
Senator Martin was favorable to Mr..
Glass, and that this friendly attitude
was also felt by the senator's friends
among the Virginia contingent in
congress. The later news reports
stated that Senator's Martin and
Swanson and Representative Saun-
ders, of the Danville district, would
support Mr.. James.
Some of the papers have expressed
the opinion that Senator Martin was
not committed to Mr.. Glass, but the
congressman from Lynchburg does
not agree with that view. When ask
cd by reporter regarding the pub
lished report that Senator Martin
would support Mr.. James, Mr.. Glass
is quoted n saying:
whether the first statement is true
or not. AS to the second state
ment you can very easily demon
stratc the complete falsity of it
by asking Senator Martin if he
did not personally prefer me his
unqualified support and, when
demurred to entering into any
such contest, express the belief
that | would have no opposition
from any of his friends"
Mr.. James has been an ardent and
consistent Organization" adhercnt,
and Mr.. Glass has been friendly to
Senator Martin in his senatorial cam
paigns. 1t is stated that Messrs. Flood
and Hay and Watson are incline dto
Mr.. Glass for national committee
man and thus the situation stands.
Unless Il compromise is reached, it
bids fair to be pretty fight for the
honor so long held by Mr.. Ellyson.
