Clark's Letter
(By Stewards wire.)

Our market opened points lower to 5 up. with trading moderate at the start. waiting for trend to develop. The first move was downward on the bearish na- tional ginners' figures and Saturday realizing. but when the Washington storm notice was published. bullish ac- tivity developed and jumped December from 22.41c to 23.56c in few minutes. These fluctuations show the excited state of the market during the short ses- sion today. Spots here are quoted 15o up. 231sc for middling. Futures and spots are In line now and the bullish condition of large discount of futures under spots has been lost which must be considered in judging market possibilities

 Frost damage to date reported way below expectations.
 Locals bullish on corn basis of com parative food values. but buying power to date has weakened at or above 11S.
 Stiff oat cash situation not entirely relieved, but receipts are now nearly in line with the crop size.

RAvAGES OF WORMS
CAUSE GREAT LOSS
Infested Hogs Make Gains Slowly,
II At AlI-IoWa Station
Gives Good Remedy.

A great loss on all farms where
hogs are raised results from the raw
ages Of worms. Great as are the
losses from hog cholera, 1t would not
be very wild assertion to state that
even greater losses accrue from
worms.
Hogs infested with worms gain slow
ly, IL at all, using up most of their
energy in coughing instead Of using 1t
for growth and fattening. Further
more, they are kept in such a weak
ened condition that they are more sus-
ceptible to diseases, including hog
cholera, and 1t may be said with much
confidence that hog worms are the
forerunners Of disease.
They cause disastrous results only
where they are permitted to go un-
molested. II Is not a difficult matter
to rid herd Of hogs Of them. and
many useful remedies have been rec
commended. The Iowa experiment sta
ton has recently offered simple
remedy that will expel worms from
hogs with much certainty. The for
mula is:
Santonin, five grains; areca nut,
three drains; calomel, three grains,
and sodium bicarbonate. one dram.
This amount constitutes dose for a
10O-pound pig. Twice as much should
be used for 2O0-pound pig. while half
as much should be used for 50-pound
pig.
Success from the use of this for
mula depends upon Withholding from
the pigs all feed for at least IS hours
before feeding the mixture. To make
certain that all worms are expelled,
the dose should be repeated in a week
or ten days. If all Of the ingredients
cannot be secured at the drug store, a
substitute In the form of seven grains
Of santonin and seven grains OF calo-
mel for each 100 pounds of liveweight
may be used with success. admins
tering II In the same manner suggested
for the complete formula.

Tailored Suit for Street.

''The woman who goes out to market
or to shop wearing loose fitting coat
over just any sort of dress is not
keeping up dignlfied appearance, and
her clothes mark her as sloppy" says
Nine. Allie E. Bailey, president of the
Fashion Art League Of America. "The
tailored suit should be worn for such
occasions.
Skirts are to hang straight, with
2 to PA yards about the hem. They
should be 6 to 8 inches from the ground
"a tiny bit longer than last season.
Dresses are to be of wool or combina-
tions Of wool and silk, and the hats,
parasols and other accessories to be
worn with these gowns are to be Of
contrasting color to enliven the outfit.
In top coats or wraps for wear for af-
ternoon or informal evening events,
the material must be of silk or sheer
fabric and Of soft elaborateness to dis
tingulsh the garment from winter or
utility wraps"

There Is a rumor that France and
America In combination will present
ribbon as substitute for embroidery.
II is possible that America is the ia
ther to this thought. The manufacture
ers In this country have ardently
wished for definite fashions from Paris
that would feature miles Of ribbon
used In any way possible to cover the
surface of clothes. The demand for
ribbon has been worked up In Paris
to some extent through American ex-
porters who represented factories that
could turn out ribbon In this country,
but so fur all attempts have failed to
produce real call for this kind of
ornamentation.

America is not the land Of embroid-

work Is expensive. Therefore our dress
makers and shopkeepers do not want
embroidery to stay In style, and our
mills would like ribbon TO be used by
the mile, instead Of the yard.
The Americans say that this latter
will be done before the spriEg Is over,

The study Of architectural history is
interesting especially In its application
to modern buildings. Aside from the
entertaining development of styles and
orders Of architecture which are re-
counted and associated In the pages Of
this history, 1t Of course has a prac-
tical value to the architect. The larg-
er buildings, especially memorial struc-
lures and public buildings, are nearly
always designed to follow some definite
type OF architecture which originated,
perhaps. a great many years ago. Even
homes show the evidence of influence
Of the old masters In this art. Coun.
try estates are quite often arranged
according to the plan OF some Of the
ancient estates referred to In the his.
tories Of the earlier days of civiliza-
ton.
The American house architecture Is
probably Influenced by more different
architectural types than that Of any
other structure. Not only do the old
The Beaver herald. [volume] (Beaver, O.T. [Okla.]) 1895-1923, 1917-04-12

OF windows provided. Each room is
sure to be bright and cheerful. The
house is rather simple In exterior de-
sign, being In the main rectangular and
having a very simple hip roof without
decoration other than the small dormer.
The walls are finished with beveled sid.
ing laid In the usual manner with the
exception of the broad belt which en-.
circles the house just below the sllls
OF the second floor windows. The
porch roof is practically the only por.
tion of the exterior decorated.
The porch has no rail and the floor
Is of vitrified brick. Two sets OF French
doors open from the wide living room
upon the porch. The fireplace In the
living room is built into the wall OPP
posite these doors. In addition to the
light which is admitted through the
doors, there are four windows which
add TO the general cheerfulness of the
room. French doors lead to the din
Ing room which is large room having
four windows. The buffet is built
against the wall under window ut
the far end Of the room.
There Is also an entrance into the
house by means OF stoop and door
leading into vestibule between the
living room and the kitchen. There
are two little windows In the vesti-
bule, one on each side of the door.
An attractive staircase Is built against
the back wall In the little vestibule.
Near the kitchen there Is door lead
ing to the basement.
The kitchen is practically square and
Is fitted 10 save steps for those who do
the work In this part Of the house. The
cupboard Is arranged In such u manner
that Its central portion is built below
the two windows, making u handy
work table where the most light Is
available. The sink Is handily located
in the corner Of the room opposite the
cupboard. The rear porch is essential.
ly another room since 1t is built as n
closed-up porch which may have either
screens or glass panel sash fitted into
the openings In its walls. This porch
will prove to be a very handy addition
to the kitchen.
On the second floor there are three
bedrooms. sleeping porch and bath.
A stair hall is centrally located on this
floor from which the attic Is reached.
In case only two bedrooms are needed
for sleeping quarters, this plan offers
a pleasant possibility In that the large
rear bedroom and sleeping porch may
easily be transformed Into second
foor living room with attached sun par
lor. There are French doors between
the two and plenty Of windows to make
the combined rooms pleasant.

About Sleeves.

Wherever 1t is possible to use long
sleeve, there 1t is found. Even on ball
gowns there are sleeves Of tulle to
the knuckles Of the hand.
Often the sleeves are the feature
Of the gown, holding brilliant en-
broidery done In peasant fashion or
after the manner Of Babylon.
Full peasant sleeves Of white muslin,
caught to the wrist with black velvet
ribbon bracelets, are put into one-piece
frocks Of dark cloth or satin.
Medieval evening sleeves are of
lace or embroidered net attached to
each hand, over any finger. with a
loop Of colOred crystals.
Tight satin sleeves that flare out
from wrist to knuckles and are but
toned mp the back to the elbow are put
into cloth jumper bodices.
Elbow sleeves have not returned to
fashion, although the kimono sleeve
Is featured In many Of the best spring
models from France. The kimono top
lengthens itself into q wrist-length
sleeve. .

classic orders find partial expression,
but the American home is also infiu-
enced by modern styles of foreign
countries. Inside and out, modern
American homes show the marks OF
many ages. This does not imply that
each home Is loaded with a mass OF
decorative detail. The really beautiful
home is never overloaded with decora-
tive features of an elaborate nature.
1t Is In the simple features that the
good things In all architecture are com
bined In the American homes.
The matter of simplicity has spe-
cial bearing upon the subject. AS the
strength Of Lincoln's wisdom was
founded In the force Of simple express
sion, so. with quite the same appllca-
tion to human understanding, the
strength Of architecture type is quite
often based upon Its simplicity. On
the other hand, the dancer who is
