Gets $500 for Beans

st. Johns.-James Sawyer, a pros.
porous farmer living near Elsie, took
a load of beans to Oakley. Thursday
which brought his an even $400. With
poor crops this year from the dry
summer, and the high prices now
paid, farmer needs only half crop
to make good.

Farm Bureau is Aid to Farmers

Lowell.-The Kent Farm bureau,
which is asking the board of super
visors for $4,000 to carry on the work
in Kent county the coming year, has
gained for the farmers Of the county
approximately $8,000.00 in higher
prices paid for their wheat.
Earlier in the year, through the in
strumentality of the bureau, con-
ference of farmers and millers was
held with result that farmers now
are receiving two cents a bushel in
stead of ~ cents, on increase COM
pared with outside prices. The pro-
duction of wheat in the county is
about 100000 bushels.

Sugar Factory Opened

st. Louis.-On Wednesday morn
ing of this week the st. Louis sugar
factory opened the 1916 campaign,
with a full complement of workmen
and quite a number of applicants for
positions whom it was unable to
place at work.
The prospects are for a short run
this year, the beets in this section
only averaging about two-thirds of
a crop and the quality only fair. The
long spell of dry weather during
July and August was bad for the beet
grower.
The company has made many inn
provements to the plant the past sea-
son and thoroughly overhauled the
whole outfit, so that under the eff
cient superintendency Of Fred Arendt
it is expected that the. superior pro-
duction of last year will at least be
equalled If not excelled. Had the
beet crop been normal it would have
been banner year for the St Louis
factory.

Thieves Make Junk Yard Haul
Ypsilanti-The yards of Philip
Lansky, junk dealer, at 308 East
Michigan avenue were broken into
and quantity of brass and rubbers
estimated to have value of $500 was
stolen and hauled away
Officers took up the trail Of one
horse wagon which had drawn up to
the barn in which Lansky kept his
store, and tracked the outfit as far
as the paved road at, the Wayne
Washtenaw county line and there lost
trace of it.
Lansky estimates that the thieves
took 1000 pounds of old rubber tires,
$50 pounds of rubber inner tubes, 800
pounds of brass, 70 pounds of block
tin and rs pounds of solder.
Deputy Sheriff John Connors and
Ypsilanti police got busy on the case,
and Lansky made a trip to Detroit
Friday in an effort to discover where
the thieves disposed of their load.

and the dressing sacque demands wash
ing, because 1t is worn when the hair
is being dressed and the hands mani
cured, and morning letters answered.
Since this sacque is worn in rooms of
varying degrees of warmth and chilli
ness, 1t is needful to have a set of
sacques in several materials. Flannel,
cotton corduroy-which is much worn
Chinese and japanese printed silks,
American wash silks, Japanese cotton
crepes, and some of the English
chintzes. For the summer, the thin
silks and crepes and dainty lawns, with
ruffled edges, make up charming dress
ing sacques.
The sault de lit is more elaborate
than a dressing sacque and is made of
lingerie, delicate silks, and any soft,
fine cotton weaves, trimmed with lace
and ribbons. 1t is worn over the low
neck nightie and also when slipping
tea in bed of a morning. The sault-
DELFT is generally cut shorter than
the dressing sacque.
When this design is used as a neglige
for informal reception of woman guests
and for the quiet dinner, before the
opera, there should be a sash, or belt
of ribbon, worn around the waist, and
the sacque should be of Chinese or
Japanese printed silk, or chiffon, or
lace, all very much trimmed and col
orful.

TODAY'S HOUSEHOLD
AFFAIRS.
BY MARY LEE.

Young housekeepers often appeal tC
me, their pretty brows drawn into dis
tressed frowns, on the subject OF
household expenditures.
Now, don't tell me to live by the
budget system" they wall; Il haven't
a mathematical mind. 1 hate setting
things down every time I spend a
penny: it takes all the JOY out of buy
ing things to know that I have to run
home and put it down in some horrid
little book. Can't you tell us a nice,
easy way to manage it?"
OF course, 1 might assume the stern
virtue pose and reply in platitudes,
Nothing comes easy in this world
or What is worth doing is worth do
ing WELL" etc, and the young things
would depart. rebuked, but rebellious.
So try to sugar coat the pill of ad-
vice and get at the problem from an
other angle. Let us not think of the
budget in the light of little books
and columns of figures. but as a plan,
scheme for making the household
machinery run more smoothly.
No woman has any desire in these
days to occupy the place of a piece of
pretty bric-abrac in her home. She
wants to be the engineer, with her
hand on the lever, and she feels the
personal responsibility of keeping her
engine on the track of prosperity and
not allowing 1t to get sidetracked into
debt and despair.
Now. the first step in the working
out of the plan is to take a paper and
pencil in hand, and some evening when
the dinner has been especially good sit
down beside husband and tell him that
you have decided to run your share of
the business of fnatrimony, independ-
emily and efficiently. as good partner
should.
The day of handing out IS here and
SO there is done away with. You
want stated allowance, so that you
may know just what you may depend
upon. and apportion your expenditures
accordingly. Consult about the bills
he will be responsible for. and the
ones you will pay. That is. he may
wish to pay the rent and the incident
ais, such as travelling, so out of the en-
tire income those sums are decided
upon and set aside.
The question of how great a per-
centage of the income should be ex-
pended for rent, operating expenses

which must be individually determined

Old Man Coyote Is Just Too

Oh. me, oh, nv! How sad a fate

he started forth the very same night
that Reddy Fox found the meat left

Of course he couldn't have eaten
Prickly Porky, spears and all, and he
wouldn't have dared try. But he felt
that way.
He headed straight for the Green
Forest. hoping that he might find Mrs.
Grouse where he could catch her.
though he knew it was very, very
doubtful. Presently his keen nose told
him that Reddy Fox had been along
that way and was not very far ahead
of him.
Cant have him hunting ahead of
me-" muttered Old Man Coyote, I've
made up my mind to hunt in the
Green Forest tonight, and that red
coated nuisance will have to do his
hunting somewhere else"
So with his nose close to the snow
he followed in Reddy's footsteps and
hurried little faster so as to catch

Buttons for Spring.

The present fashions in suits. dresses
and waists provide many opportunities
for button trimmings. Richly colored
buttons will be largely used. ranging
from the lighter shades of such colors
as canary, rose and Belgian blue to the
more highly colored novelties. Two
tone effects are in novel striped. mot
tied, plaid, snail-shell and shield de-
signs. There is as much variety in
shapes as in colors. Filigree patterns
are in a wide range of handsome eff
fects. Attractive styles are in bright
metal, especially silver, combined with
new colors.
For waist decoration there are a host
of small novelty styles Small porce-
lain buttons in Dresden effect, white
crochets and ball galaliths are all
used. Some of the smartest waists are
trimmed in fabric covered buttons in
contrast, or in two-tone effect. Fine
small novelty pearls will be used on
waists and the large fiat types on
separate skirts and sweaters.

A Word About Spring Hats.

For between-season wear satin and
straw combinations are fashionable.
In the best models only very small
quantity fstraw is used. and that is Of
a rich color. From all indications styles
in shapes will be very varied. Very
high effects will continue in new forms,
accomplished mostly by judicious ar
rangement of trimmings.
Straws of high luster or glazed ef-
fects will be very pronounced and in
rich dark colors. In contrast to the
richly colored glazed straws will APP
pear fine hemps and felts in light pas
tel shades. Something new is the use
of knitted silk or cotton such as is
used in making sweaters. These fab
RIGS are used both in plain colors and
in blazer stripes.
Bangkok sailors and fine milan eff
fects are smart, and there is a host of
styles in leather. knitted silk. novelty
woolens and the new serge and SILK
combinations. Trimmings for this type
of hat are very simple but rich. includ-
ing novelty ribbon bands, chenille or
silk embroidered flowers, fruits. birds.
small unique feather tufts or novelty
jeweled buckles or ornaments. Some
sailor shapes have rippled and droop-
ing brims. There are also high
sailors with miniature brims turned
sharply at the side. as well as new
variations of the tricorne and high
back turban.
Among ribbon trimmings for hats are
colored velvets, narrow failles and wide
taffetas. Among distinctive trimmings
are richly colored straw flowers and
fruits which can be appliqued fatty on
the hat. Dull beaded flowers in new
coIors and designs are also much used.
Soft dull rose shades are especially
handsome. Glazed fruits in black
mounted on slender silk braid stems.
and black apples with beaded blossoms
are especially effective. Novelty pins
and buckles in jet and pearl are used.
Maline and metal and hair laces will
be used for high trimmings. In os-
trich feathers the small richly colored
tip and ostrich bands will be worn.

TOP COAT OF RED VELOUR TRIM
MED WITH LARGE PEARL BUT
TONS
offer a new variety Of top coats. This
gives the American women a chance
TO choose as they wish. They may
take both or fret their brains over
choosing one.
All of this lies in the future. how
ever, for there is no exact foretelling
what Paris will do. We will have
rumors, surmses. cables and informa-
ton based on letters. but we will not
see the actual fashions until near the
first Of April; until then the new
clothes are not actually needed. except
by those who live in hot climes.
Skating Responsible for These Coats
There is no more reason that ice
skating should bring in top coats than
dancing, and the fact that the former
diversion has ousted the latter Is what
is commonly called "pif1e." 1t is not
easy to tell what is being done in the
,rest:of the country. but in New York,
= where fashions radiate. there is not the
least sign Of lessened activity in dane
ing
The inhabitant Of New York or the
stranger within its gates can easily
testify to this after trying to get a
known restaurant. Skating is the new
diversion, of that there Is no doubt. but
IL has not interrupted the ceaseless
flow of syncopated dancing. Even the
stately tango. which was so abused
when 1t was brought here from Paris.
Is being taken up so much that special
tango afternoons have been announced
at the smart dancing clubs and at
~ he 20
tine musicians have been brought here
to supply the right kind Of music for
tango dancing.
Therefore it is easy to see that the
woman who dances in the afternoon
and necessarily wears light frock. in
weight IL not in color. wants a good
looking top coat to cover 1t in the
open. The dressing room at any place
teresting study in the originality Of
the top coats worn. The assembling
there of all these good-looking gar
ments is more interesting way to
see what Is being worn than any ex
hibition at a dressmaking place.
The latter gives an idea Of what has
been created; the former. what has

to know what is being worn as what
is being offered.
Fur coats are seldom seen. 30 novel
ideas are worked out in beautiful dyed
cloths, and the weave of these fabrics
is a striking comment on the art and
skill of the wearers.
Velour and Luvetyn Rivals.
There are two special fabrics that
the smart women in New York have
chosen above all others; one Is duvetyn.
the other velour. Both are expensive.
but their lasting qualities are admira-
