Feminine daintiness and love for
beautiful color may be INDUCED with
out restraint within the walls OF the
boudoir. There Is no excuse for any
sort OF ugliness there. Lingerie grows
more and more airy and dainty, and in
negligees the prettiest fancies of de-
signs are interpreted in any extreme
OF style. Satin and chiffon, thin crepe
and fine laces, are the alluring medi-
ums with which the artist works out
her dreams. Ribbons and little made
lowers add touches that betray her
delight In the work she undertakes.
Color Is such an important factor In
apparel for the boudoir that the less
expensive sheer fabrics, in the same
colors as silk stuffs, are used with as
good results. Voiles, null, lawn and
thin mercerized cottons are made up
with laces and trimmed with ribbons
20 make negligees that are as capt.
vat'ngly colorful and dainty as any
others. But they cost a fraction of
he Price OF sheer silk materials.

FORCE IN THE COMMUNITY
Man With the talent for Silence"
Generally Recognized for Strong
Parsonage He 10.

There is gift of CAB" and there
is talent for silence" Everybody
classifles somewhere under four head
ings: Those who say nothing because
they have nothing to say; those who
have nothing to say, but say It; those
who have something to say and say
1t. and those who say nothing in spite
Of having something to say. The last
named are rare, says a writer In the
Boston Globe. 1t behooves those who
have the gift OF CAB" to strive for the
talent for silence" and those who
have the talent for silence" to try to
acquire some gift of CAB"
But better thousand gabblers than
the silence Of one cold, cunning man
who encouraged ardent and generous
people to do all the talking in order
that he may conceal his cards while
they show theirs. That silence is COM
mon among men whom authority and
wealth have made crafty.
character speaks language of its
own. The silent man does not need
to speak in order to make himself
heard. We sense" his opinions and
dread his silent disapproval more than
open reproaches. The man
VINO can bear complaints without COM
planning; who can take an earful of
insult without retorting; who can en-
dure mis1udgment without a fit of
the sulks-the man who keeps his
mouth shut and saws wood-he is such
force in the community as he little
dreams OF being. II is not anything
that he does; 1t is what he is.

HOW TO STORE WASTE PAPER
sseret Of Safe Keeping Lies In Com
paetlns the Waste, Says
an Authority.

How discarded papers-which the
makers and consumers of new stock
ire asking US all to save--may be
fept without undue risk OF fire IL q
question that concerns not only the
Industrial economist but the ordinary
household. says the Boston Herald,
1t should be understood that the fire
hazards from papers properly stored
1eed be no greater than that from the
woodpile. The secret of safe storage
lies In compacting the waste as fast
Is 1t accumulates. Papers smoothly
packed, as in closed books, or closely
bound, as in a well tied bundle OF
newspapers, are difficult to burn even
with intention.
The private housekeeper can use to
good advantage an ordinary meal ash
can, fitted with another can cover
small enough to fit inside, piston fash
on, acting as both weight and plunger.
II waste basket papers, for instance,
are handled in this way, they may be
kept with no risk. AS newspapers and
magazines accumulate, they should be
piled evenly and tied, like ordinary
bundles, both sidewise and length
wise. II practicable, all papers and
rags should be stored in some out
buildings; If not, discretion can be
used in choosing the safest corner Of
the house cellar, away from heaters
and open lights.

HIS FORESIGHT
BY ERNESTINE COBB.

All. this is the lifel" Anne's tone
and infection expressed complete sat
isfaction, which was the result OF her
being settled ia a brand-new three
room apartment. The wicker furni-
ture. cretonne hangings, woven cot
ton rugs, and fragile teacups we're the
things Anne had not found in her va
ried experience In boarding houses,
though they were the things for which
her soul and body, too, had yearned.
She turned her eyes lovingly from
one object to another all about the
cheerful living room. The cup of tea
she had just finished had banished
the fatigue OF her days work at school
Suddenly her serenity gave way to
q puzzled expression. She bent her
head listening to a song that seemed
to come from the adjoining apartment
and seemed to contain something
about somebody of the name of Anne.
AS the song was repeated at irregular
intervals, Anne made out the following
words:
How old is Anne? Don't ask me, man:
But, be she five or fifty,
I'm sure with me you will agree
That Anne is rather nifty"
'Of all the nerve!" thought Ammo,
as she first caught the words. Then
she laughed a bit sheepishly as she
reflected that the singer did not know
OF her existence, much less OF her
name.
She seated herself at the piano.
which was her chief luxury and COM
panion. Just as she was ready to lay
her hands upon the keys to play the
old-time melodies for which her pres
ent mood called, once more there came
to her that insistent singers unframed
baritone mumbling the doggerel about
Anne.
AS she listened to the now familiar
air, she began unconsciously to play
soft accompaniment to it. Not I'M
til an abrupt silence followed the clos
Ing words Of the stanza did she fully
realize what she had done.
She wondered whether the young
man were listening, too. Then she
wondered why she thought OF him as
young man, but finally decided that
neither his age nor his identity were
OF interest to her, she tossed her
head indifferently and began to i'm
provise music suited to her mood. Con-
sternation overcame her q moment
later when she found herself playing
that chugging accompaniment in a spir.
tied way, and realizing that the singer
had boldly taken up the words and
was singing gayly to her accompani-
ment. She stopped short in the midst
OF 1t and broke giddily into Dvorak
"Humoresque."

Anne was to be q dinner guest that
evening OF her Cousin Emily Mason.
Mrs Mason had telephoned Anne the
night before to look her prettiest as
the guests would include a charming
bachelor architect and rising young
lawyer, while Anne would be the
youngest and prettiest girl present.
Anne smiled as she remembered her
cousins bantering words, and she
went from the piano to the closet and
took out her only two evening gowns.
One was soft, pale green charmeuse
and the other a fluffy black net. She
decided TO wear the pale green gown.
An hour afterward she was at the
door OF the Masons.
You're dream, Anne" whispered
her cousin, as the long black coat was
removed. If you don't set the lawyer
or the architect to dreaming of you,
I'm no prophet"
John Moore, the architect, proved
to be fat, lorid and forty. Edgar
Worth, the lawyer, was slender and
strong. possibly thirty, but with the
twinkle of a boy of twenty in his
brown eyes. Edgar Worth took Anne
in to dinner, and John Moore was
seated on her other hand. The dinner
started OF with light conversation and
laughter, but presently Anne and Ed.
gar found themselves talking about
music.
In what kind of music do you find
most enjoyment" asked Anne.
All depends on my mood" said Ed.

Annes eyes were full of surprised

the architect spoke to her.

Horse Badly Injured.

On Monday, Wayne Cutchall,
tenant farmer on the Alex Pat
terson farm in the Cove, went
out to the woods with a team of
two horses for a load of wood.
He was riding the saddle horse,
and carried an AK on his should
er. In attempting to dismount
when he had reached a rank of
wood, the blade Of the axe in
some way came down over the
horses flank, cutting a cash sew
en- inches in length clear in to the
intestines. The horse was a val
liable one, he having refused 1925
for it just a short time ago.
Amos Seville was summoned
and sewed the wound, and it is
believed that the horses life may
be saved.

1t is currently reported that
the Reichtley Bros, railr o a d
which extends from Sixmile Run
eastward through Wells Tannery
and out upon the Sideling Hill
mountain, will soon be extended
to Brush Creek Valley.
This would have been done last
summer, but the State Highway
Department would not allow them
to cross the Lincoln Highway at
grade. 1t is said that an agree
ment has been reached, and that
the citizens of Brush Creek VAL
ley will soon have the advantage
of freight transportation at least.
The Reichtley Bros. are lum-

Treat Seed Oats for Smut.

The Department of Agriculture
is earnestly requesting farmers
to join hands with it in the abate
ment of the Oats smut nuisance.
We have been requested to pub
lish the following directions for a
simple way to avoid Oats Smut,
and Potato Scab. The formalin
is cheap-cost but 30 or 40 cents
a pint, and can be had at all the
drug stores.
l. Spread the oats to be treat
ed on a floor, in a thin layer.
2. Mix pint of formalin in
forty gallons of water in a barrel
tub or milk can.
3. Sprinkle the oats with this
dilute solution so as to thorough
ly moisten all the oats. In order
to accomplish this it is necessary
to rake or shovel the oats over
several times.
A. After the oats are we'll mois-
tened place in a heap and cover
with canvas or sacks over night
or for six or eight hours.
5. The oats should be spread
out and allowed to dry thorough
ly in order to prevent the sprout-
ing. Shovel about at least once
a day.
6. AS a precaution. Oats that
have been treated usually swell
and thus will not run through
the drill as fast as other oats.
From a peck to a half bushel
more seed per acre is usually re-
quired.
Z. Treat all the bags as we'll as
the drill with the Diluted forma-
lin solution befor placing the
treated oats therein. Soak the
bags for at least twenty minutes.
8. Oats that have been treated
can be fed to animals if allowed
to dry out and be exposed to the
air for three or four hours after
treating with formalin.
One pint of 40 per cent forma-
lin should be mixed with forty
gallons of water and that mix
ture will treat sixty bushels of
oats.
Farmers who are expecting to
treat seed potatoes for the scab
should mix a pint of formalin to
thirty gallons of water. Place
the potatoes in sacks and soak in
the solution for two hoursBefore
cutting and place out to dry.
