Witness After Witness in Logan
Such Evidence Our Readers Canno'
Dispute

AS we take up the Republican
week by week we are struck by the
hearty, unmistakab'e way in which
witness after witness speaks out as

we might take little notice of them.
But they are not. They are our
neignbors, living among us. Their
word is too easily proven to admit
of any doubt. They speak out in
the hope that their experience may
be a guide to others.

Acquiring A Farm

The question is frequently raised
as to whether under present condi
tons, 1t Is possible for young man
with no capital but health and indus
try to acquire farm of his own. In
Washington County, Minnesota, live
James Plank, young farmer whosC
experience shCu d be an encourage
ment to other young farmers. But
his real name isn't Blank
This young farmer, leaving HON.
and parents, came to this country
from Sweden at seventeen years O.
age. For nine years ne worked as
a farm hand for the best farmers in
the county. Practically all of the
nine years were spent in the employ
of two farmers. After nine years of
apprenticeship as farm hand, he
had saved sufficient money SO that
ne was able to buy small farm
equipment and rent a farm. As with
many other young farmers. the time
of changing from hired man to ten
ant was that of his marriage.
After three years he bought for
$4,000 the 800 acre place which he
was then farming as a tenant. Since
buying the original place he has
bought another 40 acres. Now he
owns 100 acres, worth, with improve.
ments, about $4,000 and farm equip
ment, In the way of live stock, feed
and also farm machinery, worth
$500. There is $1,000 mortgage
on the farm. Deducting this, leaves
the young farmer worth $1,000.
During the year of 1914 this farm.
er made 1880 as his labor income
In other words, he had $3.50 for his
own work above farm expenses and
five per cent interest on the invest
mnt Of $11,1OO.
The secret Of this young mans sue
cess seems to have been good health
good business judgment in managing
the farm business, frugal living, indus
try, and a knowledge of the most sue.
cessful method of handling crops and
live stock as learned from successful
farmers during mis- apprenticeship as
a hired man.

COSTUMES FOR
SOUTHERN WEAR
White and Blue Serge for Suits-Taf-
feta and Moire- Poplin Also Favored.
Medium and Small Hats.

orange black taffeta and MORE are
also effective for trimming the suits
and tailored frocks. The striped
silks are usually combined with a
pain satin or silk, in tone that mar
monies with or is an effective con.
trast to the predominating color in
the striped material. Sheer fabrics
crepe Georgettes, chiffon cloths
silk voiles, and the various other
transparent fabrics promise to be as
good for sleeves, collars and other
trimming purposes as they nave been
for the past few seasons.
Net Blouses Practical
Blouses Of chiffon cloth, chiffon
and similar materials, dainty and be.
coming to a degree, were never very
durable. 1t was really heartbreakine
when one had a particularly becom.
ing and rather expensive blouse to
nave 1t begin to pull out and wear
under the arms and at the elbows
after only one, or two wearings
This was partially done away with
when cotton net was introduced for
lining these waists; this season we
have the net blouse itself, often lin
ed with net or chiffon cloth. These
waists are delightfully."- sheer and
they have a wonderful wearing quail
ity.
Often the net blouse is trimmed
with linen cluny or another equally
pretty lace in rather heavy pattern.
Then again collar and cuffs are of a
picot edged Georgette in delicate
tone of rose, yellow, or pale pink
Novelty buttons in quaint effective
colorings are sometimes used at the
closing of collar, or down the front,
forming unusually attractive trim
mining details.
The softly colored blouse of crepe
Georgette has by no means taken a
back seat because of the popularity
of the new net favorite; these are
being brought out, II anything, In
prettier and more charming colored
designs than ever before. Rose rink
is favorite shade; it combines so
well with the dark blues, browns and
other tailored suit colors.
Hats and Parasols
Small and medium sized hats as
always are the first outputs of our
New York milliners for the South and
early spring. Many of the prettiest
of them show a combination of straw
and taffeta. One especially attract
i've medium sized nat displayed or
the Avenue some time ago, was Of
tete de Negro satin; the brim turn
ed up a trifle on the left side and the
frame was covered smoothly save

@ MCCALL

for a cord effect around the outer
edge of the brim and at the top Of
the crowd. The only trimming was
a severely straight outstanding wing
made Of the satin, edged with cut
ruching of maline in the same shade
of brown as the hat. The effect of
the hat was smart and tailored. An
other pretty small hat was made of
half straw braid and half of change
able taffeta, the taffeta being draped
over one side Of the crown, finishing
in high outstanding loop on the
side. Imitation Goura in soft
shade of gray was effective trimming
on another small hat. In parasols
there are many novelties as always
ct the opening of a season. Some
Japanese effects are seen and some
hand embroidered designs; a partic-
ularly pretty fancy parasol was of
dark taffeta gathered and tasselled
at the points.

The ThTashing
Machine

Thd thrashing machine is a large
collection of wood and metal accom-.
panied by an oily odor and crew of
bewhiskered, unwashed specimens of
the genus homo, which makes it's ap.
pearence around about the time the
pumpkins begin to get ripe and fall
from their tree with dull, sickening
thud There are other things which
accompany thrashing machine and
crew, a SO, but they are Of q nature
which polite society dislikes to dis.
cuss, and they abe better hand ed by
can of insect powder than by the
pen.
The purpose of the thrashing mach.
inc is to take the grain off the stalks
and turn 1t out in form convenient
for use, but II is prone to take some
arms off the thrashers. also, and oc.
casionally IL takes one Of them on a
trip thru its interior and turns him
out in an unrecognizable form.
With all the dnpleasantness which
goes with q modern thrasher, how
ever, II is considerable of an i'm.
provement over the former methods
Of separating the grain from its vine
In the olden days this was accomp.
lished by laying the cut stalks on
the floor of the barn and then licking
them with a device known as a fail
until they let loose of the seeds. The
fail was an old pitchfork handle with
a baseball bat tied loosely to the end
Of 1t by means of strip OF leather, and
white this piece of mechanism got the
results, II any one could be found to
swing the club long enough, the loose
end of the thing was prone to flop
back occasionally and bang the fai'er
in the eye.
Following this method came tramp
ing, in which the livestock around the
place were driven into the barn and
erdh htrips onpe nacrlp i-dss ar m
showed around over the straw until
the kernels were all kicked out of it
but this system was also full of draw
backs. The cows had no desire tC
take lengthy strolls around the inter
Tor of the barn, and it took about as
much eXertion to keep them going as
to operate a fail.
1t can be seen from this that the
thrashing machine Of today is an i'm
provement over the old systems, and
the only things about the present
methods to cause the farmer 20 WORRY
are the col ections of entomoloeica
specimens the thrashing crews dis
tributes, the dust which covers tn,
whole county and gives all his stool
the whooning cough, and the rus
which ignites inside the machine
causing an explosion which blows ~
half the farm.

New York, Jan. For those Of

The Popular Bolero Suit
When the various European coun-
tries unconsciously exerted their in
fluence on styles by their entry into
the war, or their equally difficult
stand Of neutrality, the bolero was
again introduced into the woman's
wardrobe, it being the Spanish note.
It is a model that has always been
a great favorite. 1t is generally be-
coming and may be made at home
