Narrower and shorter lapcls will also

For the fall and winter season one
can hardly say there arc style changes
IN the mems fashions. II would be more
accurate TO say there are STYLE develop
ments, for really the departures are but
a continuation Of the trend indicated in
the spring and summer styles. The
outstanding thing so far as style fca-
tures IN suits and overcoats are con-
ccrned is decided narrowing OF the
lapels. The very wide and scmi-widc
lapel has been done to death and this
spring saw the receding toward less
width. This fall VIC 60 even further in
the reduction of this dimension and the
very narrow and fairly short lapel is

ton. OF course some of the suits shown
have only two buttons which would or
dinarily call for longer lapel. but This
season the bottom button is much fu--
Their away from the bottom OF the coxt
than has been the case in previous sea-
sons, this permitting a considerably
shorter lapel even on the two-button
coats. This tendency toward shorter
lapels and closer set buttons will neces-
sarily give the effect of a longer skirt
TO the coat, On this shorter and mar
rover lapel all designers seem 10 be in
accord, but there is divided opinions as
TO the shape of the lapel. Some de-
eigners lean toward the peaked lapel,
others to the square cut, so that your
personal preference in this regard can
be exercised as you will have both sorts
% choose from.
Another feature of growing impor-
tance is the tendency toward slanting
pockets. This IS very marked in the
models launched by those designers
whose productions always influence the

WAY OPEN FOR AM!CABLE
SETTLEMENT OF BORDER ROW

Washington, July THE crisis be-

is virtually ended by Carranza's note.
His formal statement of the attitude
of his government awaits the Presi-
dents action, but officials believe the
way is opened for an amaciable settle
ment of the border dispute.
Secretary Lansing refused to COM
ment. He gave the impression, how
ever, tiat Carranza's suggestion that
the question can be readily adjusted
by friendly negotiations meets with
sympathy here. Secretary Lansing is
known to share President Wilson'S
desire tc avoid hostilities if there is
any possible way to safeguard the Dor
der. The new note so plainly indicates
that tae Mexican desire is similar that
a further Interchange of views is ex-
pected to begin Immediately, looking
to joint effort to curb border bandits
and other agencies working to embroil
the governments.
One official described the note as
more than conciliatory" There SEEM
ed to be no disposition to doubt that
the United States will be willing to
arrange an early withdrawal of the ex-
petition from Mexico.

RAINS DOING
SLIGHT DAMAGE
COTTON SUSTAlNS INJURY BUT
CORN CROP IS RoMPING AWAY
WITH SPLENDID MOISTURE.

While some sections of Crisp are
suffering from the effect of excessive
rains on the cotton crop, the crops
of other sections of the county have
been up to this week suffering for the
need of showers The rains of the
past three weeks have been unusually
spotted" and none have reached more
than small section of the county at
any time The superfluous abundance
of rains in some sections, it is esti-
mated, have damaged the cotton crop
from fifteen to twenty per cent, caus-
ing the blooms to fall off and having
a tendency to cause the stalk to sap.
The damage to the fruit has been
equalled by that from the grass that
has flourished in the crop because of
the unfavorable weather, preventing
the farmers from keeping it clean.
However, the fact that the crops were
all practically clean prior to the rainy
season, minimizes this damage.
All this is out weighed by the great
good which has come to the corn crops.
Crisp county has seldom been able to
show rs fine corn crops as are now
well On the way to maturity.

SOUTH Is ADVANCING IN
AGRICULTURAL WORK

Washington, July 7.--Senator Rams
dell, addressing the senate today on
the agricultural appropriation bill said
the south needed as settlers the $780,
900 persons who were emigrating to
Canada every year carrying with them
an estimated wealth of $12O,OOO.OOO.
He declared that the south required
fifty million people and fifty billions
of dollars to assist IT. developing it's
resources. He quoted figures to show
the iallaciousness Of the generally &C.
cepted telief that the south was a
purely agricultural country devoted
mainly TO cotton.
'If we include live stock" said Sen
ator Ransdell. 'the total value OF all
south srn farm products, exclusive of
cotton was 2,850,OOO,O00 in 1915, near
Iy four times the value of the cotton
crop. The manufacturers of the south
aggregated four billion the entire out
put of agriculture in all it's branchess1
put If all other branches by 100000
0OO."
He SAID, however, that the south was
advancing agriculturally three times
as fast as the rest of the nation.
