Finally clean empty bottles. Rinse
thoroughly with cold water every milk

Crochetina Hint,

1t is quite an effort to press the
crocheting needle through stiff edge
Of material. A good idea is to unthread
your sewing machine and, using
heavy sewing machine needle, stitch
around the edge, adjusting the length
Of the stitches to the requirements of
the edge. The effect will be that of
perforations through which the crochet
needle can be easily passed.

Have you tested, shelled and grad
ed your seed corn? Do you know
that Iowa farmers one year increased
their yield 10 bushels per acre by
testing their seed? The next year
they tested and increased their Yield

farmer told me that becuase he was
urged to test his corn this year he
did so and found one lot entirely
worthless for planting. Can we af-
ford to take risks this year?

Washington, Aug. 14.-Sinking of

Standard Oil tanker, with the prob
able capture of her captain and four
members of the naval guard by the
attacking German submarine, was an
nounced on Sunday by the navy de-

The department issued this state
ment:
1.-The Standard Oil tanker Cam
pania, American steamer, was sunk by
a submarine on the morning of August
6 143 miles west of He de Re. Forty
seven survivors reached land in safe
ty 1t is believed that the captain of
the steamer and four of the guards
are prisoners on board the German
subramine."
Officials fear that the Germans will
mete out the same fate to the Cam
pania captain as they did to Coptain
Fryatt.
Capt. Charles Fryatt, master of the
British liner Brussels, who was cap
tured by the Germans on March %,
1915, charged with attempting to ram
the Teuton submarine U-33, was tried.

SILK HAT LOSES POPULARITY
In London, Where Every Man Wore
Topper" Until Recently, Caps
Are Now the Rule.

Our Grandfathers wore "stovepipe
hats" and the hats of politicians were
one time frequently called ''plugshats.
This male head-dress, even more ex-
traordinary than the derby, books of
etiquette sometimes say should not
call silk hat" but thigh hat" In
London but few years ago no man
ever went into the city with other
than top hat, or topper" as they say
over there.
1t is said that the going out of gen.
eral favor OF the silk hat has been oc-
casioned in a considerable degree by
the popularity of raincoats in prefer
ence to umbrellas. If you observe any
great crowd in England today you will
find in it few hats of any kind; 1t is
in the main a sea of caps. The Ameri-
can dude" and the antebellum British
''knut" always wore silk hats.
Gentlemen at the British race course
and fine old clubmen of Pail Mall eff
feet a white or gray top hat, of the
sort which was so becoming an orna-
ment to the late King Edward.-EI
change.
