A Card to Owners
of Rural Telephone Lines

We are anxious to zee that all lines owned by
other parties and connected with are kept I'm such
condition as to furnish efficient service Where the
owners of rural lines responsible for their upkeep
we want to cooperate with them.
ALI lines require thorough overeauling occa-
sionaily If the best service Ia to be obtained We
recommend that every line connected with us be
overhauled at least year and that at least one
experienced telephone man assist in this work The
cost of this work when divided among all the patrons
of the line, makes the amount paid by each man
small and this cost will be than offset by the
improved service.
II the owners of rural telephone lines In this Sec
ton experiencing trouble with their service, we
will appreciate their talking the matter over with
Manager or writing us fully. We will gladly do
what we can toward helping you improve the con-
dition of your line.

DINNERS AND DINNERS

Every little while some enterprisino
correspondent sends out to the daily
press OF the country glowing account
of a dinner given by some metropolis;
tan multimillionaire. This twaddle is
extended and amplified even to de-
scription of the virtues of the $4,000
year or the latest pet monkey that
ate from the same table.
We haven t any $4,000 chef, and we
don't banker after the company of
four-footed monkeys, but we want to
say right here that the fellow who eats
at our table will get meal set before
him that has more solid enjoyment in
it than any of those produced for
multi-millionaires and monkeys.
And there's many a man in this town
who has the same opinion of the good
old fashioned dinners served up by his
own Wife.

640-ACRE BILL LIKELY TO GO
OVER

Washington = Hearings before the
senate committee ON public lands on
the 64o-acre stOckraising homestead
bill had the effect of raising doubt
in the minds of members of that com
mittee as to the wisdom of the bill in
question. Whether a 640-acre home
stead bill would prove of benefit o.
detriment to the west is now a moote,:
question and SO serious is the doub
that the 640-acre bill will be placed a,
the end of the conservation program
for consideration when the other bills
are out of the way. This may mean
that the 640acre bill will go over 20
the next session.
Fine in Theory
Theoretically, it was disclosed, the
640-acre stockraising homestead bill is
a fine thing, but whether it would work
out in practice as it's designers expect
is quite another matter. 1t was the
frank opinion of representatives of the
sheepmen and stockmen of the west
that the bill would not lead to any sub
stantial development through settle
ment, but would pave the way for spec
ulation in grazing lands and in conse-
quence would have IA depressing effect

on the livestock industry Of the west
y Inferior Lands Open

vi the livestock industry OF the west
\ Inferior Lands Open
Under the 640-acre bill, lands suit
able for agriculture, or lands such a.
are designated for entry under the en-
larged (32O acres) homestead Law
could not be entered, but only dry lands
that are not agricultural in character
that is, lands inferior to those that
may now be entered in 800 acre tracts
1t was clearly shown that a great
many settlers who took up lands un-
der the 32O-acre law have been forced
to abandon their homesteads, or, if they
were more fortunate, theq have sold
out to stockmen, for the reason that
the lands they undertook to farm were
not adapted to farming.
Raising Of Cattle
The theory of the 640-acre home.
stead bill is that it will afford a
means whereby the "little farmer
can maintain himself on a full section
Of dry land and derive his main sup.
port from stockgrowing. DR.. s. W.
Mcclure, speaking for the sheepgrow-
ers, told the committee that in the
range country Of the west, where the
64O-acre bill would apply, it requires
on an average from 40 to 60 acres of
land to support steer a year and from
2 to 10 acres to support a sheep year.
His figures were supported by the for
est service.
On that basis, a 640-acre homestead
would support from 10 to Is steers, or
81 to 80 head of sheep. DR.. Mcclure
asked the committee to figure for it.
self how much of living could be
made out of this limited number of
steers or sheep, especially when they
are raised on land not suitable for ag-
riculture and which cannot be made to
produce anything but grass or fodder.
win Not Support Family
If the bill is to be passed the sheep
men and cattlemen urged that it be
SO amended as to limit its application
to land that can be expected to sup
port family on $40 acres-that is,
nd that has some agricultural value
as well as grazing value, and that it
be not permitted to apply to the vast
bulk of the western range country
which will not support family on
$40 acres. Unless this is done, it was
that many innocent persons
would file entries, in the hope of
making good, only to be forced later
to abondon their lands, while others
would enter for speculative purposes,
and with the full intent, upon acquiv-
ing title, Of selling out to stockmen.
AS one witness said to the commit
zee, "Let us not ruin a good livestock
.rea by trying to make poor farm
md poorer farmer. A prosperous
stockman is surely better, both for
himself and the country, than a half
starved farmer.'

silks are very much the vogue. Thes,
silks are particularly we'll suited to tn,
full skirts Of the moment, affording tn
bouffant effect, and lending themselve
most effectively to. the cordings, Quill
ings, pleatings and similar trimmin,
notions now smart. These silk suitinp,
come in all shades Of tan, buff, blue
rose, mauve and gray.
Taffetas are being used considerably
for suit purposes too; there are guam
titles of plain taffetas being used In
combination with bayadere effects
white stripes on black, blue or green
grounds. Checks and stripes are parti-
cularly smart in taffetas. Pompadour
taffetas will be used generally for wraps
and the trimming of suits. Light col
ors will predominant in these suits as
in the wool mixtures. 1t may be safely
said that the silk suit will be the main
stay of spring and early summer.
The Novelty Cottons
There is no paucity of novelties in
the new spring and summer cottons;
they are most charming, both in color
ing and design. Wolfe forms the basis
of the majority of these fabrics; there
are printed and striped voiles; voiles
striped and barred with openwork or
needlework patterns, and voiles striped
and barred with artificial silk. Some
OF the openwork checked voiles are
printed and embroidered with bright
colored flowers, oftentimes with quaint
precise, art nouveau figures.
Soft white batistes show hairlines of
color, and are bordered in plain white,
edged with the color; these are the new
handkerchief embroidered batistes and
are used for lingerie gowns and. blouses.
Plain lawns and organizes in all the
soft pastel tones, and in plain white are
exceptionally good this season. The or
CANDIES are being used for entire frocks
over slips of a sitter organdy. In white
these are unusually pretty for gradual
ing frocks and summer dance dresses.
One of the prettiest notions for q sum-
mer dance frock seen for many season
was dainty pale blue organdy with
short, full-gathered skirt fecked here
and there with small cluster of PINK
rosebuds; the surplice closing bodice
had full drop-shoulder sleeves, and was
finished at the throat with a fine pleat
ed ruff of the organdy, closed ON one
side with small bunch Of the buds,
and long narrow ribbon streamers of
pale pink. The idea of high-necked
dance frOck is somewhat out of .the-or
binary, but that is just what most of
us are looking for. A bit of bare throat
showing in V-shaped opening below
the dainty ruff gave just suggestion
of decOllete which was all that was
needed.
The silk striped and checked voiles
show grounds of one color, striped and
barred with contrasting tones, for in
stance rose, striped with pale green,
blue with gray, mauve with gold and
many Other cool, opalescent effects.
