Those who specialize in certain lines
of apparel have demonstrated that the
most unitarian of garments may be
made with an eye to beauty. This is
demonstrated in the overall-aprons,
which answer the purpose of house
dresses in summertime, and In the
new breakfast suits which have an at
traction all their own.
These useful garments are turned
out by manufacturers and retailed
through shops at lower price than
they can he made for at home, IL the
housewives time Is counted in as
worth anything. The overall-aprons
are described by their names and they
are designed to be slipped on and fas-
tened in the quickest way possible.
They cover the dress completely and
are perfect garments for homework.
There is surprising number of styles
In them 10 choose from, and they are
priced in the neighborhood of dollar.
Heavy percales, ginghams and cham.

USING BABY" APPLE BARREL
Like Standard In Construction, But
Only Half In Sfze-Packaae
Appeals to Customer.

The Virginia apple growers are
using what is called baby barrel.
1t is like the standard barrel in con-
struction, but is only half the size
and contains but half the quantity of
apples English and American apple
handlers have given the opinion that
this sized package would appeal to
the consumer who would not care for
full barrel of apples at one time.
Fruit men also believe that this
small barrel will enable the eastern
growers to put their fancy apples into
direct competition with the western
box pack, and in a container with
which they are familiar.

USE WIRELESS TELEPHONE

Navy Department Officials Adopt New
est Wonder in So-CaIled Mobliza-
ton of Communication Aids.

Uncle Sam is mobilizing the COM
munication system of the navy. At
least that is the way the officials of
the navy department refer to the eff
forts that are being made to make
use of the most up-to-date methods of
vessels of the navy and between the
Offices of the navy department in
Washington and the various units of
the navy. These efforts have cul-
minated now in the Incorporation of
wireless telephony into the new sys-
TEN.
The other day Secretary of the Navy
Daniels, from his Office in the navy
department. actually talked through
the air from Washington to the cap
tain of the battleship New Hampshire,
at Hampton Roads, more than two
hundred miles away. Immediately
after this feat the secretary talked by
long-distance telephone lover wires)
to the senior naval officers at Ports
mouth, N. H.; Santiago, CAL; Pensa-
cola. Fla. and Puget Sound, Wash.
Both wireless and the long-distance
wire systems reaching across the con-
tinent have been introduced as regu-
lar features of the navy's communica-
ton system. These improvements
vastly increase the efficiency of the
navy and would be of inestimable
value in a crisis.

Hens need some feed that is high In

farmers can use. says the poultry hus-
bandman of Clemson college, is skim
milk or buttermilk- 1t is cheap, the

+, In experiments made in Indiana, the
hens fed skim milk laid 1854 eggs
year for four years. Those fed no

KEEP CULTlvAT0RS ON MOVE
Keepina Down Grass and Weeds VIII
Enable Corn and Cotton to Take
Up More Fertilizer.

Owing to the comparatively small
amount of fertilizer used on crops
this year, and to the lengthy drought,
care should be taken to see that the
crop gets as much of it as possible.
There Is not enough for the grass
and weeds and the corn and cotton,
too A more frequent shallow culti-
vation- and the keeping down OF
grass and weeds will enable the
corn and cotton to take up more
Fertilizer. The crop needs all the
moisture It can get, and shallow cul-
aviation helps to keep mulch on the
land and so conserve what moisture
there is present, as well as to kill
weeds and grass which use consider
able amount of water, which is needed
for the corn and cotton. Don't let the
crop starve or go thirsty for lack Of
suffcient shallow cultivation Glenn

The great European war has forced
upon US the Industrial leadership of
brought home to us with singular force
the Importance of foreign trade. Three
years ago it would have been difficult
to arouse much serious interest in the
middle West or in the South on the
subject of foreign trade. Overseas
markets meant little to producers,
manufacturers and merchants not To-
Gated near the Atlantic, Gulf or Pa
cific seaboards.
Today It is different Our farmers
in the middle West have realized that
because nations, thousands of miles
the supplies of wheat from certain
large wheat-producing sections of the
world have been cut off from their
usual markets, there is q special de-
mand for American wheat and the
prices obtained for the largest crop
produced in the history of the United
States are the highest prices ON
record.
At the same time the producers of
cotton in another section of the United
States have had brought home to
them with disastrous forcefulness the
fact that large part of the cotton
crop of the United States is marketed
in Europe, that when those markets
were suddenly cut off the price of
cotton went down and down until it
was scarcely more than half of the
usual price, and far below the cost
of production. Both of these groups
have suddenly and for the first time
realized the Importance of foreign
trade.
AS a matter Of fact the whole ma
ton has had an object lesson, staged
on a tremendous scale, of the impor-
lance of that comparatively small pro-
portion of our total trade that may be
classed as foreign" That small poT-

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
FORESTS GREATEST OF KIND
Immense Trees in Some of Uncle
Sans Parks Have Stood for Ages
and Are Still Strong and Sturdy.

That the forests of Yosemite, Sc
quota and General Grant National
parks surpass any other of their kind
in the size and beauty of trees and
the number of species represented is
stated by G. L. Hill in publication
on the forests of these parks just is
sued by the department of the ifte-
rior. This pamphlet contains descrip-
lions of the species and of the forest
types as well as pictures of the i'm
portant trees. The most interesting
tree is the sequoia, which is the
browning achievement of the vege-
table kingdom in size and majesty
and age.
when Cheops dreamed the first
pyramid" says Mr.. Hill. some of these
hoary giants of today doubtless al
ready were springing up and hopefully
taking possession of this very soil
from above which in lordly height
and grandeur they look down upon us.
Yet there they still stand today, in
calm serenity and majesty. unhurt by
disease, unsecured by all save fire
and the hand of man, while we. crea-
lures of day, creep about and peep
beneath their mighty shade and pass
away, while they live on. And there
is no visible reason, barring foolhardy
destruction by man, why they should
not live for another millennium or
more"

That the Stuart couture is almost uni

point in its favor and very little

an integral part Of the feature selec-
tion.
In this selection the main part Of the
band played in the park while several
individual members, hidden at various
distances, gave the echoes" on cor
nets. One of these cornetists was in
vited to comfortable spot on the
lawn of an adjacent residence. but fig
lIring that no regular echo would work
in that SPOT, he started UP the hill
side TO find suitable place from
which to sound his horn.
1t was just as he mad found an ideal
place for a nice, full-grown echo that
four cows. full-grown but not nice, de-
cided that the man in the white uni
form was in an entirely wrong place
and forthwith thew went for him.
Reasoning that a live bandsman was
worth considerably more than a dead
echo, the cornetist lit out for a place
of refuge A tree loomed up and he
made for IL, only to be stopped by q
barbedwire fence. Not only stoDped,
but somewhat mangled. particularly as
to white uniform. The cows being
rather persistent In their hostile in
tentions. he extricated himself from
the barbed wire with more speed than
comfort and resumed his flight Final
ly he got through the wire at another
spot, hut with further disaster as to
torn clothing. il. i
Nevertheless and the cows notwith-
standing. he was on the job when the
hand in the park below ceased to await
the sounding of the echo. Those who
heard It remarked on the splendid
tremolo effect which the hidden cor
netist was able to give. unaware that
four cows and barbed-wire fence
were largely responsible for the trem-
ulous wistfulness of the tones poured
out upon the still night air.

The weaknesses of high society are

the author to point. Every effort is
made to discredit the present day so
cial system and to point out the faults
and vices Of the British aristocracy.
The lesson is told in no uncertain
language; the artists contribute in
no "weak-kneed" measure, and the au-
thor minces no words in telling his
