TIME TOGO SLOW

struggling to complete a wardrobe for
hot weather, or they are entirely apa-
thetic until the first frost awakens
their curiosity and interest.
There are three months ahead of M
IN which the thinne~t of clothes are
acceptable, and, possibly, one can fol-
low ones fancy anywhere in arranging
wardrobe that is intended purely for
the immediate present.
A word of advice, however, should
be given to that class Of women who
take advantage of sales in order to
prepare themselves for the future.
This class grows larger and larger
every year in America, it's size being
increased through the persuasiveness
of those who have bargains to offer.
Next week, clothes will probably be
at their minimum prices for the sea-
son. In the shops and at the dress
making places, clothes will be offered
at what is called "below COST" At
these sales wholesale clearance of
everything is made by the CONNER
cialists, as they do not care to carry
stock any longer through the season,
and because the prices are tempting
and the clothes suit the fashions OF
the hour, there are hundreds of women
who take advantage of these bargains
| and buy costumes that they think will
give them good service when the first
frost comes.
The process of buying good clothes
at reduced rates at this season is one
that appeals to the economist, and on
the surface it seems an efficient way
to dispose of money, but in truth, it
is one of the most hazardous expert.
ments.
1t is one of those instances in which
a majority does what only q small mi
nority is capable of doing. A woman
who does not keep herself we'll ad-
vised concerning the changes in
clothes runs every chance of putting
into her wardrobe that which should
never be taken out.
The latest thing in June is apt to
be the oldest thing in October. The
cloth suit that looks admirable in the
shop and which is guaranteed by the
persuasive seller as Frances latest
production may not give service more
than three times during the hot
weather, and, when one gleefully takes
it from the closet in October with that
virtuous feeling of forehandedness, it
will present such pitiable contrast to
the new clothes that it can never be
worn.

REFUSES TO GET EXCITED
From Point of View That Was

Mr.. Nudge took an extraordinary de-
light in digging little facts out Of the
papers and holding forth on them to
his wife.
One evening, as they sat together,
she sewing and he reading, smoth-
cred grunt of satisfaction warned
Mrs. Nudge that her husband had dis
covered something which he consid-
cred interesting.
'"That's most extra ordinary thing
most extraordinary. my dear!"
'What is it?" asked his wife, in a
resigned tone that always made him
boil inwardly.
"Why, it says here that even if you

still take twelve millions years to

ment Of Agriculture.)
The production of thymol from
horsemint may <he, under favorable
circumstances, a profitable CONNER
cial undertaking, according to re-
cent publication of the United States
department Of agriculture, Bulletin
372. Thymol, which is extensively
used in medicine, was formerly i'm
ported from northern Europe where
1t is manufactured from seed grown
in northern India. The European
war, however, has reduced the impor-
tations of this substance from $4,000
pounds In 1914 to q little more than
1900 in 1915. To make up this deficit
it is believed that thymol might be
manufactured from improved horse
mint plants with which the depart
ment of agriculture has been expert
menting for some time.
Horsemint is found wild on light
sandy soils over the entire region
from southern New York to Florida,
and westward to Wisconsin, Kansas
and Texas, and it is probable that it
will thrive under cultivation over the
same area. From 20 to 80 pounds Of
oil per acre should be obtained from
a planting, according to the investiga-
tons of the department, and a little
less than 20 per cent of this oil will
be thymol. The yield of thymol per
acre of horsemint, therefore, is esti-
mated at from little less than 10

So Manifest That Those Who First
~ frowned on Them Have Been
Brought to Admire.

Short dresses are becoming more
popular every day. Those who first
frowned on them now admire them
and say that they are not only sensible
but becoming as we'll as economical.
With short dress a woman has
some liberty. She has her hands for
free use. She may look round about
her without the fear that while she is
doing it somebody will put foot
through her two-dollar-a-yard lace and
I tramp off a couple of yards of it. She
may get out of street car without
looking back to see if she is clear be-
hind and safe from being dragged
along and perhaps manned for life.
She can defy rain and mud. She
doesn't have to 60 round wisp Of
straw lest she take it up on her
fringes. She can cross street with
out stepping on her dress and falling
down in the mud for the nearest po-
uceman to pick her up and all the
boys to laugh at and watch to see her
do it next time.
If she has a pretty foot she con
show it, and II she has hOmely foot

be nothing lost there.

pounds from first year paintings to
little less than 20 pounds for subse-
quent years. The average price of
thymol for number of years prior to
the European war was about 81 q
pound.
The cost of producing the thymo]
will depend to a great measure upon
whether the horsemint is grown in
connection with other oil-yielding
plants for which a distilling appara-
tus is maintained. Unless this is
done, it is said, it is not probable
that the profits will be sufficient to
warrant anyone engaging in the In
dustry. Excluding such items as land
rent, taxes, depreciation, upkeep and
interest on the distilling plant, it is
estimated that thymol can be pro-
duced at an approximate cost of $23
per acre the first year, and $40 per
acre thereafter. These figures include
the growing of the plants, fertiliza-
ton, cultivation, harvesting and dis
tilling. A plantation of horsemint
will not have to be replanted oftener
than once in five years at the most,
and by returning the distilled herb
to the soil, material reduction in
cost of fertilization can be made after
the first year.
Fuller information in regard to
methods of cultivation, harvesting
and distflling are contained in Bull
letin 372 which has already been men
toned.

ENEMIES OF ALFALFA PLANT
Not Worth While for Farmer to Waste
Expensive Seed en- Sour or
Alkaline Soils.

Sour soil and alkali are enemies OF
alfalfa. Most sour soils are sandy
soils where the drainage is too good
and the lime has been leached out.
They can be sweetehed by adding
ground limestone where this process
is not too expensive and teaching les

mus in the soil. This can be done by

ing crops, etc.
Alkali soils usually are badly drained
and can be corrected by supplying this
factor. It Is not worth while to waste
alfalfa seed on sour o.. alkaline soils.
If they cannot be corrected, raise some
other crop.
