velours and other standard weaves are
the best choice for 1t. Buttons, Gov
cred with silk or satin matching the

bands Of fur at the neck and cuffs
give 1t just the right kind of finish.
The narrow belt, which makes pre-

of the garment in carefully disposed
plaits. It fastens at the front with a
big hook and eye of metal.
At the left front buttons, and loops

When Autumn Has Blown

Will they be wider than they have.
been or will they be simmer and Is 1t
true that they are to be longer? These
are the questions that are asked about
the new coats and frocks for autumn,
and they wait an authoritative answer.
The new models in coats are just as
ample In width as those Of the past
season, and they are longer. And,
since many costumers tave already
presented designs Incorporating these
features, 1t is evident that they are
pinning their faith to mode not
greatly changed.
AS to coats, in some of them, bodies
are a little closer fitting, but skirts are
full-very full-and longer than they
have been. But the coat cut on full
lines, with loose adjustment to the
figure, like that shown in the picture,
need not concern itself about the latest
within Of style, because it is always
good style. This is one of the first of
the new models. and one need not fear
that any other, however original, will
discredit it.
There are several cloths, tried and
true, for a coat like that in the pic
ture. Cheviot, jersey, broadcloth

Millinery of Tomorrow

Even before September begins, and
while August proclaims the high tide
of summer, velvet and felt hats make
their entrance into the world Of fash
ion. For several years past black vel
vet has shared with white satin, and
other all-white hats, midsummer
vogue. The combination Of these two
fabrics makes the coolest-looking and
most sparkling millinery and comes in
its logical elegance, when women have
grown tired of all the beautiful, color
full hats with which they welcome the
spring.
But black and white are used for
street and dress hats and not for sports
and outing hats. These are in Vlvidiy
colored felts with many-colored, odd,
not to say fantastic, trimmings. Many
of them, especially those designed FOR
young women and girls, content them
selves with band and bow, or rather
simple trim, of ribbon.
Three of the handsomest new hats
for late summer and early fall are
shown in the picture above. At the
top a beautiful design for the matron
Is represented in moderately large
nurban covered with taupe gray velvet

SORRY PRACTICE OF
SELLING THE CALVES
Cause of Exorbitant Prices for
First Class Mich Cows, for
Beef and Milk.

In Argentine there is a law making
It a felony to kill any female of the
cattle species that is under six years
old.
Argentine Is wiser than we are. The
economic mill grinds. We are now pay
ing prices which may be considered
exorbitant for first-class mich cows,
for beef and milk. That the killing OF
hundreds of calves every year for veal,
and the spaying of thousands Of heif-
ers and fattening them for the block,
is responsible in a large measure for
the present high prices Of certain food
commodities, there can be no question.
Calves are taken from their mothers
Immediately after they are born on the
pretext that cows milk Is too valu-
able for q cows calf. These calves,
In case 1t happens to be In the vicinity
Of q large city, are often sold by calf
buyers to people in the lower districts
for bob-veal. Those that are not sold
to calf buyers are raised on skim
milk and II they do not die Of sc0urs
they become runty and badly stunteo
In their growth.
As a general thing this practice II
to be condemned. The farmer and
1airyman are saving at the spigot ant
wasting at the bung. They must nov
pay SIS for good COW and have nom
to sell.
Every time we SIT down to thu
dinner table we are paying the prize
for this short-sighted policy. Ont
thing is Sure, II we kill all our calye
liz is only a question Of time unit
we will have no cows.

STRAWBERRIES NEED
PECULIAR ATTENTION
As Rule Bed Is 0vergrown With
Weeds Should Be Thoroughly
Renovated in Fall.

After the last strawberry is picked,
the strawberry bed is generally sad.
looking object.
AS a rule, it is overgrown with
weeds and tufts Of grass are sticking
up here and there. If one Of the free.
running varieties has been used, the
bed probably will be one solid mat
of strawberry plants. The chances
are that at least half of the leaves
are rusty, instead Of q bright green
color.
The first thing to do to this ,typI-
cal strawberry bed is to run over 1t
with a mower or scythe and clip or
both the weeds and the rusty leaves.
Then, IL there Is a light mulch Of straw
left on the plants, and a brisk breeze
is blowing, it might be advisable to set
fire to the bed and to burn 1t over.
Follow this with pillow or culti-
vator, tearing out fully half the plants.
and re-establishing rather narrow
rows. Follow the pillow with harrow.
Needless to say, by this time the straw
berry bed will seem to have disaR
peared.
But a good rain will soon renew it
and the leaves will come out bright
green, and new runners will start.
These runners will make plants which
will bear the good berries next year.
OF course, after a time, the straw
berry bed gets so old that it Is wise
to pillow 1t up altogether and start
anew. But 1t is remarkable how much
may be done to renovate the ordinary
bed, two or three years old, simply By
moving, burning. blowing out the ex-
| ira plants and narrowing.

be the Russian way; ! will indulge
in 1t IL you wish, but the American
way is to charge the cost of produc"
ton and sales to the price. My eli
penses are large. Each day from now
on will add these charges to the

and charged $500 day extra till tfE
negotiations were completed, ten days
later, when he got his contract.
