" HERE is fine line of distinc- & tion drawn between cheek and W nose-when it comes to pow - dering ones face. It is hard to explain why one procedure is uni versally commendable and the other almost, if not quite, reprehensible, yet every woman admits the distinction. Both processes are supposed to make one more beautiful, yet many a wom- an will boldly apply powder to her nose while denying energetically that she ever touches poudre de rig to her complexion, This sort of woman is likely to call the beautifier carried in her vanity kit, "talcum," for some how or other "talcum'' is an innocent, harmless sounding word, lacking the suggestion of dashing, daring cosmetic implied by face powder.''
 Probably the truth of the matter is that one powders her nose to keep it from being shiny, while the rest of the complexion is touched up with poudre de rig to make it appear fairer and fresher than it is. Powdering off shine is a sensible proceeding which can afford to be frank and honest | about itself; touching up the com plexion is perhaps-in some opinions "a shade less respecta b1e. It is a fine and subtle difference-but every woman knows it is there. My nose does get so shiny" complains your partner at an afternoon bridge, delv- ing down in her reticule' for lambs

They are so full that a bifurcated gar- ment is not suggested at all-indeed milady looks more as if she had en- ,cased herself from waist to Knee in a barrel-or a keg. The b1oomers are enormously full and are gathered into the waistband and again into shir- rings at the knee. The material, usually crisp taffeta, Is pulled out to the extent of the gathered material all around, midway between hip and knee and though the effect can scarcely be called graceful, it is sup posed to be decidedly fetching and chic. One of these bathing suits is pictured, a model of black salt water silk with trimming in bands and mar row frills, of blue satin. Balloon Boomers Dangerous.

and most sensible type of swimming attire. If worn by slender figure and if worn not too tight, so that the suit does mot cling conspicuously, knitted jersey bathing costume is pleasing in every way and is neither immodest nor outrageous. The mod ern woman dresses properly for the sport she pursues and when she swims, she should be as comfortably and as safely attired as when she Tides, or golfs, or motors. But not for the fat woman is the knitted wool suit-unless she chooses to make her self grotesque. Redundant curves and clinging jersey-are a combina- tion that can only arouse laughter, or pity, from all observers.
 The Jersey swimming suit pictured is dark blue with a neat border trim ming in white. The tunic is of good length and is slashed at each side to give it a little flare at the edge. The garment fastens at the shoulder and slips on and off over the head. Such a suit is easily taken care of; it may be put through a wringer, shaken out and then rolled into a rubber case and there will be no dripping and oozing out of water as with silk or satin suit. Beneath the jersey cos tune must be worn a one7piece knitted garment, slightly snugger in fit than the outer tunic, to keep the lines of the figure trim. Usually the stockings are in one with this undergarment.
 Hand Knit Bathing Suits This Season. The girl of the hour-if she is not knitting slip-ons for the soldiers-is busy knitting a bathing suit for her self. These hand knitted suits promise to be the fad this summer. They are not harder to knit than sweaters and every maid can knit a sweater now! The tunic is sleeveless and has a V shaped neck opening. It slips over the head, and should be long enough to fall well below the hips
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1917-06-16

The lower edges must be left open at
 the sides, or one may widen, stitch
 to row for twenty rows, so that the
 tunic will not cling at it's lower edge.
 The knitted tights do not offer any
 serious complications to knitter who has already achieved a sweater. They
 need no shaping if one is slender and if one is not, a knitted suit should
 not be worn! Failing any pattern or
 guide to go by, simply knit four ob- longs; attach two together for each leg, the side seam running all the way down. Then attach the legs to- gether with seams running a third of the way down, for back and front; and lastly sew up the inner leg seam. | Put a facing around the top and run | in a drawstring; or run a narrow elastic in and out through the knitted | stitches and sew the ends together.
 Flannel Bathing Suits Again.
 The 1917 flannel suit is far cry | indeed from the shapeless garment of dark blue flannel which used to hire itself out for a quarter at all public bathing resorts. The modern suit is
 of softest, finest flannel, scarcely
 heavier in the water than silk. The

These hats are bright enough in color to please the summer girls taste for striking headgear and they have that quality of newness and unusualness that also appeals to her heart. A Japanese sport hat in one of Man hattan's millinery shop windows this week, is made of cotton crepe with pink cheery blossoms splashed against a background of purple and beige. There is band of natural colored straw around the low crown and on this band are sewed odd looking carved wooden buttons. The wide brim curves down over the face in shady effect. Another model shows black dragons against flame red ground and has a band of black straw over-sewed with coral colored beads.

consists of $500 acres or 55O,0OO trees. At harvest time, which is about July 5, over 2,5OO men are employed to pick, haul, pack, grade and load the peaches.
 In 1915 626 carloads of peaches were shipped; in 1916 few cars less. This year, on account of un- favorable weather conditions, the crop will be smaller, and only 500 cars shipped.
 The orchard was started in 1904 by Bert Johnson and has gradually grown to it's present dimensions. The town of Highland, which has been built up in the last 10 years, boasts of about 800 population. Here are the canneries, packing houses and electric light plant for the orchard, and hotels and con- missaries for the employees.
 Peaches are shipped from the orchard west as far as Denver, east to the coast, north to the lakes and S uth to the gulf

The peach season is now open ing up, and the imporance of can hing and drying fruit must not be overlooked. If you haven't home canning outfit, try and get one, even if you have to make it your self, which is not hard to do. All the surplus fruit and vegetables should be canned or dried this year to assure food for winter use.

Of course. they will realize it in less than year, when the hardships of war come upon US, but in the mean time many opportunities will pass us unheeded.

Milk and butter, chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese, sweet potatoes, onions, tur- nips, canned goods and dried fruits will play an important part in our food supply nextyear. and next year will soon be here. We must pro duce and keep these supplies if we would have them. To buy some of these things may be impossible be- fore this time next year. We must not depend upon others, but upon ourselves.

THIS SEAL HAD CURIOSITY
Mammal Got Into Trouble Through Nosino Around Too Promiscuous-
 Iy Among Strangers.

Seals are very plentiful among the Orkneys, and are sometimes caught when asleep on the skerries. They are attracted by musical sounds, and at one time considerable number were said to make their appearance in the bay of Hoy when the bell of the parish church close by was rung.
 Seals are usually much on their guard against the approach of men, but when unmolested frequently come close to boats or people ashore. An instance of this occurred recently of Skraill bay, in Sandwich, where some yawls were at haddock fishing, writer in the Edinburgh Scotsman says.
 A seal made it's appearance, and showed great curiosity as to what was going on. It swan repeatedly between two boats short distance apart, and ultimately devoted its attention to one of them, diving under the boat and coming up first on one side and then on the other. At last 1t made spring at fish which was being hauled out of the water on hand line. It failed to get a proper hold, but the fish was thrown back to afford another chance, which the seal quickly seized. It kept so near that eventually one of the fish ermen got hold of its tail, and by the assistance of another 1t was taken into the boat.
 It was young one, about three feet in length. It did not seem to appreciate it's new quarters, and made strenuous efforts to escape. but was kept prls- oner until the fishing ceased. and then taken ashore. Subsequently the seal was restored to its native element. which it seemed to appreciate all the more after its detention.

Mrs. Sarah Trdmme,I BurrOuQh

Another dear Christian mother, grandmother and friend past away Thursday night, June 28, 1917, at l l o'clock, near Urbana. at the home of her son, J. A. P. Burrough, and was laid to rest in the Hills boro cemetery Saturday afternoon at 5 o'clock.
 Mrs. Borrough was 8z years, 6 months and lo days old at the time of her death. She was the mother of nine children, four of whom are still living-Will Burrough and Mrs. Thompson of New Edinburg. Cleveland county; J. P. Burrough, of Huttig; and J. A. P. Burrough. of Urbana-and sixty-one grand children and great grandchildren living. She had suffered with cancer for fifteen years, yet she never complained.
 Sarah Trammell was born in Hot Springs county, Ark. Nov 9, 1929, from there her parents moved to Charlottesville, Dallas county, where she lived until lz years of age, when she was married to James E. Burrough in l846. She then moved with her husband to Eagle Creek, Bradley county, then New Edinburg, Cleveland county.
 Mrs. Burrough united with the Baptist church in 1857, at the age of 28, and remained a devoted Christian until her death. She came to live with her youngest son last August and has been confined to her bed nearly ever since. The way in which she bore her suffer ing made her one of the most patient mothers ever knew.

tentlon; our government not long ago without batting an eye voted the sum of $z,ooo,ooo,ooo to be used in the war against Germany; millionaires are now so common as to attract comparatively little no- tice and people habitually talk and think in thousands and even mill ions and billions instead of smaller figures as was the case few de- cades ago.
 Mighty few of us, however, have a sufficiently intimate acquaint- ance with fortunes of million dol lars to have very definite notion of just how that sum would look if gathered in a heap. Some time ago the city treasurer of San Fran cisco arranged to have a million in gold displayed at celebration held in that city. Naturally it was the center of a great deal of interest.
 The money was in $2O gold piece-5O,OOO of them which had been minted in San Francisco in the preceding year. The coins which weighed all together nearly two tons would have made a pile Az feet high if placed one on top of the other. A little figuring shows that the $z,OOO,OOOOOO appropriation, if heaped up in gold would extend upward more than $50 miles.

Save MOiSture--InCreaSe Yield

It has been estimated that from 5 to 6 inches of water will ordina- rily mature 4O-bushel crop of corn. Arkansas has AS to 50 inches of rainfall each year but in spite of this abundance of water much of the corn suffers from lack of moisture and complaints are al ways heard that in some places corn is light and chaffy because of the drought. The soil is our store house for moisture and in ordinary seasons there is no necessity for not supplying the corn crop with a sufficient amount of water if we cultivate the crop properly. If we are to save the moisture, cultiya- ton must be done just as soon af- ter each rain as it will do to work the soil. This cultivation should be repeated frequently until the crop is mature. Many farmers cultivate too deeply, cut the corn roots and reduce the yield. The best way is to cultivate shallow. For cultivating corn or cotton after the grass and weeds are under control, two trips for each row is too expensive. One trip to the row can be made just as effective for saving the moisture. The one horse even-shovel cultivator with small sweeps instead of the outside shovels do splendid work on all types of soil. It would be better to use the IA spike tooth harrow cultiyator on land in good tilth but v. H. Kern, specialist in farm im- plements with the University of Arkansas, says that such cultiya- tors cannot be used on rough hill land He also says that the spring tooth harrow, sometimes called the
 Gee Whiz, is good. One trip to the row, cheap but effective, usual ly leaves the land in good condi- ton. Level. shallow cultivation is the cheapest and safest.
