Some Better Farm.
 ing Hints

Fayetteville, Aug. 2.-Pro' bably a dozen colt shows wee held in Arkansas last fall, bEt many more will be he'd this year. A colt show is a good thing if it can be purely as a of creating more interest in good horses and mules with the least possible amount of ad- vertising. Two general classes should be made, pure bred and grade and then a subdivision of draft and other classes. Thus one class for purebred draft colts and grade draft colts and purebred other than draft colts and grade colts other than draft. The rules should be pub lished early in August and it be required that all colts be halter broke at the show. It is important that good judges be secured if there is to be much educational value from the show.
 Bush Fruits.
 It would seem worth while for thoughtful farmers in the hill counties of the west and north west to consider the matter of bush fruit to their apple and peach interests. Prof. w. H. Hicks, Horticulturist of the Arkansas Station, is of the op- inion that the farmer with the peach orchard could we'll afford to add small patches of straw berries, blackberries dewberri- es, raspberries and gooseberri- es and also grapes and cherries, thus lengthening his marketing season and making himself safe iii case his peaches or apples fail. Write Prof. Hicks at Fay. etteville as to the varieties and of culture.
 Farmers Institutes.
 Probably five hundred farm CTS institutes will be held in before the last of De- cember and from two to six are to be held in every county. These meetings will be of value if the progressive farm CTS and business men attend them and take part in the dis At all meetings this year three subjects will be en- p!lasiZed: ClOvers and Pastur- cs, More and Better Livestock, and Soil Building, a sort of three in one program. Farmers who are believers in these sub- jects should attend and lend their influence and those who have not attempted much in any of the lines should attend to get from the Extension Service speakers and from their neighbors who have made be- ginnings. Progressive farmers should keep informed as to the dates of meetings for their CO., l.lIties and then attend and take their families.
 About Those Boosters.
 While thousands of farmers E ;ld thei, II osters in May nr early June, there are still thou sands of farmers who are keep ing in their flOcks the utterly useless rooster and getting eggs that are unfit for table use after thirty hours. Without the rOOs- ter the eggs would be fit for tab le use after six days if kept in a cool and dark cellar or shed. The grocers and hotel people should be willing to pay double this summer for infertile eggs.
 Community Breeding.
 The interest in good livestock Arkansas farmers is about the most striking thing in the state just now. Since the first of January bulls have

A SANDWICH OF
 WORK AND PLAY

SHAKESPEARE said that if all the
 year were playing holidays to sport would be as tedious as to work, but, fortunately for most of us. at least one-thtrd of each twenty-four hours is spent in good solid work. We busi- ness women have our life preservers- our everyday tasks" Yet we do not want to to extremes in work. We need pleasures, too. just much as we need work, and while we get a great deals of pleasure from work well done we do need social life, because we are gregarious creatures. We do not always like to be alone with our thoughts; we like companions, amuse- ments.
 So let us consider some of the things which may help or hinder the business woman in her endeavors to make the most of her hours of recreation. Our companions and our pleasures have a decided influence over our success in life as we'll as our character. We must have high ideals of life and form com panionships only with those who have high ideals. When we associate with those of low aims and thoughts we gradually but surely, give up our vision to conform to the ideas of the friend, for people cannot come into our lives without leaving the mark Of their influence on our character. If with out a vision the people perish'' is true of the nations, it is undoubtedly true of the individual

Here's to the Toddlers

TWO of these interesting garments
 for small people may be made by fond mothers. One of the gowns is of a rather heavy white linen with a bolero and belt of pale blue linen. both of which are buttonhoIed in points with white floss. The yoke and bolero are also embroidered in a conventional pattern. and the sleeves and neck fin ished with soft ruche. The other charming one piece is a fine quality of piQue with a bolero merely outlined in French knotted forgetmenots, also done in color, collar and tiny sleeves being edged with narrow torchon- The lit tie crushed girdle of taffeta ribbon is smart as possible run through a crocheted buckle. The spring bonnet is a sample of Belgian war lace," a Flanders guipure over pink or pale blue chiffon with pretty ruch around the face and ribbon tiestrings. These baby caps cost $1.75 to $6.

Questions Every Mother Should Ask Herself
Prepared by United States Department of AgreuIturs

do not have, plenty of fruit and vege- tables need whole wheat bread and whole grains served in other ways?
 Did each child have an egg or an equivalent amount of meat, fish or poultry? Nt
 Did any child have more than this of flesh foods or eggs? If sos might the money not have been better spent for fruits or vegetables?A
 If was unable to get milk. meat, fish. poultry or eggs. did serve dried beans or other legumes thoroughly cooked and carefully seasoned?
 Were vegetables and fruits both on the child's bill of fare once during the day? If not, was it because we have not taken pains to raise them in our home garden? fa
 Did either the fruit or the vegetable disagree with the child? If so, ought I to have cooked it more thoroughly, chopped it more finely or have removed the skins or seeds?
 Was the child given sweets between meals or allowed to eat sweets when he should have been drinking milk or eating cereals. meat, eggs. fruit or vegetables?
 Was the food served in a neat and orderly way. and did the child take time to chew his food properly?

USE AND BEAUTY IN
 AUTONOMOUS

AUTONOMOUS should be made
 large enough to allow the button to slip through without pressure. They should be worked on the right side of double material. at least one-fourth of an inch from the edge of the garment. The distance betwen them is regulated by the material and by the size and To- cation of the buttons.
 The beauty of the buttonho1e depends largely upon the straightness of the cut. the regularity of distance between the stitches and the evenness of the stitches in depth.
 Make buttonholes firm. with a fan at the end receiving the strain, and finish with a bar on the other end. A yer tical buttonhole with strains at neither end should be finished with bar at each end.
 Use thread to correspond with the weight of the material Let the thread be long enough to work the entire but tonhoIe.

 milk in one form or another?

 Were the fats which gave the child of the wholesome kind found in milk, cream, butter and salad oils or of the unwholesome kind found in doughnuts and other fried foods? 2 Did I make good use of all skimrniIk by using it in the preparation of cereal mushes, buildings or otherwise2
 Were all cereal foods thoroughly cooked?
 Was the bread soggy? If so. was it because the loaves were too large or because they were not cooked long enough?

VARIETY OF FABRICS
 IN NEW STYLES

THIS season is remarkable so far for
 its perverse employment of fab rics. For instance, there is a hat whose frame is entirely covered with striped silk jersey cloth. The colors are white and grass green in inch wide bands. The brirn is faced with straw the color of the green stripe.
 Then there is the use of oilcloth, not only for millinery purposes, but for sports clothes as well. Waxlike but tons and ornaments serve as trim mings, and there are examples where ordinary pearl buttons or large hooks and eyes are impressed into decorative service. The latter are usually covered with silk metallic threads wound about them or forming a crocheted cover.
 Italian silk. which for a long while has been used almost exclusively for gloves and for underwear, now con- tributes to the fashioning of hosiery In weave and finish it differs quite a little from the stocking of silk thread.

TN most cases woman is 1awless: she
 will obey the law because she is afraid of it. but she will not respect 1t. For her it is always sic volo. sic jubeo. I suspect that if she had had a share in making the law she would not have been like this, for she would have be- come aware of the relation between law and life. Roughly she tends to look upon the law as tyrannous if she does not like it, as protective if she does like it. Probably there is little relation be- tween her own moral impulse, which is generous, and the law. which is only just-that is. just in intention. This is qualified by the moral spirit in wo- man, which increasingly leads her to the view that certain things should be done and others not be done. But even

Five full ruff1es of tiny hems mount the fuller skirt and harmonize with the three narrow ones on the bertha which. tn- deed, seems to form the whole waist except the sleeves, that are full and banded at the wrist. The crushed girdle is of pale blue taffeta ribbon confined by two pink silk rosebuds- The effect is delightfully piquant.
 Less sheer, but quite as picturesque. is the frocl1 of peachblow taffeta and georgette, crape of slightly lighter tone. The tafeta is used for a bouffant pannier over a pIaited crape skirt, and the square little bobbed tunic has much character lent it by an empire girdle of spring flowers pieced out in the back by pink satin ribbon. The elbow sleeves, the neck and the but tons of both tunic and skirt are hn- ished with narrow pink satin ribbon
 We must not forget a bouquet for the bride. Aside from pink and white sweet peas, the most popular flower is lilies of the valley arranged with a few of their leaves.

Her gowns should be up to date, most certainly, and because they are, apt to be made a little earlier than most spring clothes they will have to be of the very newest, but they should not be extreme. A brides clothes, be- cause they are apt to be more numer- ous than before her marriage. do not wear out so quickly; hence they should be as conservative as possible.
 In woolen. stuffs checks are tpartfcu- 1arly emphasized, and the sheer stuffs show a good many crossbar and check designs, but up to date the silks lean much more heavily toward stripes.
 Some of the simpler striped silks are made up into unpretentious little frocks that have a decided air of srnartness. in spite of their simplicity, and that would be very useful in a.

Scores Of travellers coming into the

side tracks, mill spurs and even lumber
roads are filled with train loads of coal,
and express their surprise at this state
of affairs in the face of the fact that q
coal shortage is claimed and coal fam.

graph service reported from Cleveland
that the Big Four Railway company had
seized for its own use $50 tons of coal
consigned to manufacturers, taking adj
vantage of the interstate commerce law
which allows such action when neces.
sary to keep a railroad in operation.
This week we were informed that there
was danger of the car ferries at the
straits being tied up unless they got
more coal for operating the boats. The
railroads own and operate the Goa
mines OF the country. What would you
