unusual high prices prevailing for
corn, oats, hay flour, meat, lard,
butter, eggs, potatoes and all other
products no cotton farmer can afford
to buy any OF them, even with cotton

Cotton, too, is now bringing a high

that the price will he high in the fall
OF 1917? The man who this spring
plants his entire fern to cotton with
the expectation of high prices in the
fall Is gambling Just as surely as Is

lapels are also of velvet trimmed in
narrow soutache braid in self color
laid on in scroll design. The collar
fastens with loops of braid and small
buttons at one side, and similar fas-
tenlng arrangement secures the coat in
front.
One suit of the type shown was really
bodice of velvet equipped with
Georgette sleeves, to avoid bulkiness,
was attached to the skirt, the velvet
of the blouse matching the coat or
jacket. Another showed plaid skirt
with four or five inch wide velvet yoke

matching it. the coat trimmed around
with rows of self-color stitching:
A great deal of variety is possible in
the development of these little sport
models. If for real sport wear the coat
may be developed in a vivid green, red
or blue, with skirt in minor shade. The
sketch shows suit employing wool
fabric in a brown and tan soft plaid
with black velvet coat.
Dame Fashion is taking the place of
a~guide rather than an absolute dicta-
and a much better dressed woman will
likely result. No arbitrary rule has
been permitted this season, even In the
placing of the waist line Some ultra
early bulletins purporting to come from
Paris stated that it was to be higher
than normal-an empire line, in fact,
American femininity at once ignored 1t

Both low and normal waist lines have

stand now either of the four waist line
pIacings named is equally good. 1t is
all matter of individual choice.

Old Mr.. Toad Is an Engineer,

Of course. you know that there are
different kinds of engineers. The mar
who drives the engine that draws a
train of cars is an engineer. OF course
Everybody knows that. But the man
who plans a railroad and decides just
where the rails shall go and how they
can get around or over hills and noun
tains and across rivers is also called ar
engineer. In fact. there are many kind
of engineers besides those who run en-.
gines, and the business of most Of then
is to plan how to do difficult things
and then to do them. They are men
who overcome difficulties which to
other people seem impossible to over
come. They are men who. when one
way fails, find some other way that
will not fail, and they succeed because
of knowledge, special knowledge.
Now, who ever would think of Old
Mr.. Toad as an engineer? But he is. OF
course, he isn't the kind who makes
an engine go. Oh, my, no! Of course
not, But the very fact that he was

Of Interest TO Women

By this time we know that the price
of all fabrics has gone up to unbe-
lievable heights in France. The bull
letins which read of quotations on
satin. brocades, metal net and embroid-
cry read like the stock quotations in
America of steel.
1t was because of this terrific in
crease in the price of fabrics that
France shot the prices of her gowns
to figures that have never before been
reached in the history OF women's ap-
pare1.
In this country we have no thought
of paying such prices for fabrics as

great majority to wear. We are not
able to initiate certain weaves of vel

and will remain the leading choice Of
fashionables for street suits until Feb

tulles that are woven with marvellous
roses of oxidized silver and gold are
purely of French make. but this ex-
clusiveness is not harmful to our gooo

finish. Chiffon. Georgette crepe and all
varieties of net, cotton and silk are at
our disposal at moderate prices IN all
of the shops. and the fact that these
fabrics constitute the nucleus OF smart
costumery is cause for rejoicing.
1t may seem d bit strange to the
woman who links winter with sturdy
materials that the dressmakers should
offer satin for street suits as well as
ball gowns, but the woman who wears
I1nSt a
top coat of velour, peltry. velvet or
wool-back satin trimmed with fur.
The acceptance of satin throws taf-
feta out of the running: There are
dozens of gowns still offered in this
material, but it is no longer smart or
desirable. It's weave is against it. 1t
served the silhouette of the last two
years, when bulges, distensions and
fashions, but the silhouette Of the mo-
ment demands fabrics that hang Imply
against the figure, and this taffeta will
not do.
DoeuilIet is one of the most popular
designers among the smart Parisiennes,
and the American who likes to dress
well always receives with pleasure
gown from this eminently conservative
but distinguished, house on the Place
Vendome.
The sketch shows a gown brought
from these salons. 1t is made of a
strong weave Of duchesse satin in
black. The skirt hangs Imply from
the waist in fiat pleats; the bodice is
merely shaped sash passed over the
top of the arms. spreading across the
back and bust and showing an under
bodice of flesh h-colored chiffon. There
are barbaric ornaments of gold and jet
embroidery to weight down the skirt in
front. There are shoulder straps and a
stomacher made of intricate embroid-
cry in sapphire crystals and jet, on
foundation of gold thread.
At the back is a swinging cape Of
tulle that goes over one arm only. This
model is called cherubim.

er Browns garden, didn't give up in
despair. No. indeed, When Peter Rab-
bit left to go look for help Old Mr.
road began to Investigate. To investi-
gate is to look all about and examine
everything. 1t didn't take Old Mr.. Toad
long to find out just how things were
and what heap of trouble he had
tumbled into. He hoped all the way
around that pit and everywhere the
walls went straight up, smooth as a
board. There wasn't a chance to climb
even little way.
Old Mr.. Toad sat down right in the
middle and gazed at the little stars
above. There was something comfort
ing in those twinl1les. They made Mr..
Toad feel better.
Here am and what am I going to
do about it?" said Old Mr.. Toad. Peter
Rabbit may be able to get help for me,
but 1 doubt it. Farmer Browns Boy
may come along here tomorrow and
find me and then all will be well. But
hot down here tomorrow and I simply
cannot stand the sun. I will have to
bury myself in the sand of the bot
tom here, and then if Farmer Browns
Boy should come he wouldn't see me
and I wouldn't see him. If l had wings
might fly out, but haven't got wings.
so the only thing to do is to make the
best of what / have got. Thanks to old
Mother Nature, L can dig. The ques-
ton is how am 1 going to dig my way
out?'
For a long time he sat and studied
and studied. An engineer always stud
.es and studies before he goes to work.
He was trying to plan some way of
digging his way out. If he had been
fast digger, like Johnny Chuck or Dig
ger the Badger, he probably would have
planned a long slanting tunnel up to
the surface somewhere beyond the edge
of the pit. But that wouldn't do for
Old Mr.. Toad and he knew it. In the
first place, it would take so long that
he would starve to death. And then he
would have no way of getting rid of
the sand as he dug. unless he pushed
it all out behind him and with such a
long tunnel he never could do that.
After studying and studying a long,
long time Old Mr.. Toad made up his
mind. He had worked out a plan.

Browns garden proves that he Is an
engineer. There were straight walls of
sand that even Happy Jack Squirrel
couldn't have climbed to save his life,
because the sand would have given way
under his claws, and yet Old Mr.. Toad
was halfway to the top. and from what
he said to Peter Rabbit it was very
clear that he expected to get out Of
that pit, and to do it himself. He asked
no help from any one.
Supposfng you were to find yourself
in the bottom of a great pit with per-
fectly straight walls fifty times as high
as your height. what would you do? l
am sure that I would just give UP in
despair. You see, I am not an engineer.

and a little shopping and planning.
and then little careful sewing will
produce a bag quite worth while.
Some Of these bags are made in regu-
lation bag fashion. with draw strings
Of ribbon or metal cord. Some are
mounted on celluloid clasp frames:
Some are hung on two rings of metal
and hang from the wrist.
One pretty bag is made of eight-inch
ribbon in Roman stripes running
lengthwise. The ribbon is gathered
to circular base about four inches
in diameter. 1t is. Of course. scanned
together. and 1t is lined with satin or
stripes. There is a little beading and
draw strings Of black ribbon of the
heavy, twilled sort
A bag Of black ribbon, plaided with
white, is made with a deep point from
which hangs a long steel-bead tassel.
This ribbon is fastened at the top to
silver rings that slip over the hand.
A new idea is a small bag Of bright
colored ribbon or silk fastened to the
handle of the umbrella or walking
stick.
Still another new sort of bag is that
for the boudoir. 1t matches the negii-
ge and cap. and is usually made of
sheer fabric. 1t is just about big
enough to hold handkerchief, and,
perchance. a powder puff.

on it is frame, and in course of time
it will be replaced by modern brick

for the present, however.
E. K. Hayes becomes the owner OF

INTERESTING CASE TO
MEDICAL men
Fragment of Gun Barrel in Skull
of Robert Maven Nine
DAYS

The case of Robert Maven, the
sheepherder whose skull was cut open
by the explosion of a gun last week,
is attracting the attention of medical
men. According to local physicians,
the history of medicine and surgery
contains no similar case.
The Index last week told how Ma
ven was injured and the nature of his
wounds. He was brought to the
Hewittson hospital and attended by
Drs. Clark and Reynolds. The ex-
plosion made hole in his skull
about half an inch wide and about
two inches long, from which the
brains oozed. The doctors removed
spoonful of brains from the wound
and thoroughly cleaned and bandaged
it and the young man seemed to i'm
prove.
On TUESDAY, his condition was
found to\Nbe worse when DIR. Clark
called to dress the wound. While do
ing so his finger struck hard sub
stance and upon investigation por-
tion of a gun barrel about the size of
an ordinary mans thumb was found
lying in the head at the base of the
skull. Its edges were ragged and
sharp, like a saws teeth, and is the
only part of the bursted gun that any
one has been able to find since the
accident. 1t had been inside the skull
for nine days, and even the injured
man himself had no knowledge of it
or seemed to suffer any inconvenience.
He has been perfectly conscious and
rational since he was injured, and not
until Tuesday did his pulse or tenn
perature indicate the presence Of any
unfavorable symptoms.
Since this foreign substance was re-
moved, Maven's condition has been
somewhat alarming and fears are en-
tertained that the wound may have
been infected and that blood poisoning
may set in. He suffers little pain,
however, and sleeps well. His condl-
tion is serious.
