PAY HIGH PRICES FOR FURS
Women Desiring Popular Garments
Find They Have to Open Their
Purses to Get Them.

Wholesale dealers in furs who sell
only at retail the manufactured prod
ucts say that the prices In the raw
goods have gone up to such an extent
that they can now sell pieces made up
earlier in the season for less than
they would charge for the skins alone
at the present time, says the New York
Times. Fox, although it has been pop
ular for the last four years, is the
reigning favorite in furs, the only thing
coming in all colors and appealing to
all classes of people-there being, how
ever all classes of fox. Ermine, the
dress fur, is strong, usually made tail
less, or with a bunch of the tails as
an ornament. Muskrat, or Hudson
seal, is strongest in coats and goes well
for general purposes. There is no
prejudice against it as an imitation
these days. Real seal has comparative
ly little sale. 1t is expensive to hold,
needing frequent repairs, and a gar
ment cannot be remade for less than
500.

TRANSPARENT Ideas.

The transparent idea in the making
of clothes ceemS to be even more in
favor than last year. There are serge
dresses trimmed with bands of mousse
line de sole or georgianna crepe. These
bands graduate in width and are
preferably the same color as the serge,
although there is once more room for
individuality here. as they may be
either lighter or darker.

PROPER TREATMENT OF HAIR
Thorough Cleansing After Exposure to
Dust Is of Prime Importance
Don't Wash 1t Too Often.

To begin with, thorough cleansing
of the hair is the first thing after a
railroad or motor trip. For this it is
web to begin the night before the
shampoo, If possible, and rub either
olive oil or petroleum derivative jelly
thoroughly into the scalp. This will
soften the scalp and any dust or dan
druff lodged on it. Any favorite soap
or shampoo preparation which does not
contain free alkali may be chosen for
the shampoo, but whatever is used
should be thoroughly rinsed out before
drying the hair. If possible, the dry
ing process should be done in the sun.
rubbing the scalp gently upward with
rotary motion, and brushing the hair
with a clean, rather stiff brush.
If the hair is split at the ends, it will
be we'll to clip it or have it clipped.
For the next month it may be well to
keep at the rubbing of oil into the scalp
and shampooing each week, although
under ordinary circumstances it is not
wise to wash the hair Oftener than
once in three or four weeks.

FARM WORK AND MACHINERY
Eloquent Statesmen Often Fall into Elk.
aggerations and Make Farm
ing Appear as Joke.

Much mischief has resulted to farm
ing as an occupation from the exploita-
ton Of the idea that machinery will do
the whole job and that future agricul-
ture will be matter Of pressing but
tons and setting wheels In motion. The
eloquent men who make and sell ma
chimes often fall into exaggerations
that are hurtful and that finally get In
to cartoons which depict farming as
mere Joy ride. 1t is silly and futile, OF
course, and it should mislead no one.
The trouble Is that too much of 1t Is
believed and the thing soaks into the
general consciousness.
Good farming is work, hard work. 1t
is not going to be anything else. HUI
man genius will continue to help In
minor improvements. but the big,
eternal plan goes on. The soil Is full
of miracles, but there is no miracle
that will enable man to use the soil
profitably without labor.

READY FOR SPRING
SMART SPORTS SUITS ALREADY
BEING PREPARED.
Many Features and the Materials Of
Last Season Are Retained, Since
They Could Not Well Be
Improved On.

Forerunners of spring are the smart
little sports suits now being prepared,
to be shown In the shops in a very few
weeks and featured for southern wear
during the winter. SILK jersey cloth
will probably be just as popular during
the coming season as 1t was during the
two or three seasons past. No new
material has been introduced that
could quite take its place. One of the
strong features of the coming season
will be the vivid color effects pro-
duced. High shades will be extremely
popular, and odd color combinations
will undoubtedly pe seen.
A mOdish little early spring sports
suit Is shown in the sketch. 1t Is
made of corn-colored jersey silk. with
trimming of purple taffeta. OF course
this color blending or combination may
be varied to suit the individual taste
and complexion, but purple and corn
color have been approved by Dame
Fashion; and at the southern resorts
certainly apparel that is striking in
design and coloring may be worn.

CARRANzA AID HELD
CHARGED BY THE U. S. AGENTS
WITH CONSPIRACY IN iLLEG.
Al SHIPMENT OF ARMS.
TAKEN IN NEW YORK RAID
Shipments Of Munitions to Mexico Re-
ported to Have Totaled 100000
Scheme Revealed When "candy
Machinery" Box Breaks.

New York, Jan. 5.-Juan Z. Burns.
Carranza consul here, was arrested on
Wednesday, charged with being con-
cerned in conspiracy to ship arms
and ammunition to Vera Cruz in viola
ton of President Wilson's embargo
proclamation Of october, 1915.
Three indictments have been brought
against Burns, it was learned. Aside
from the alleged conspiracy to violate
the presidents proclamation, the de-
PENDANT is accused also OF decelvlng
the customs authorities by falsely
manifesting ammunition shipments as
hardware.
The arrest, made by special agents
of the department of justice, Is the
outcome of raid on the offices OF an
importing and exporting company op'
Grated here recently by Mexicans ana
of the arrest subsequently OF a man
named Reuben Mier at Houston, lex.
Mier formerly was employed here IN
the Mexican consulate.
Burns, who was arrested as he was
leaving his home, was taken to the
federal building and held in S1O,oOO
bail.
The arrest of Burns came after EVIL
dence was uncovered indicating ac'
cording to intimations from depart
ment Of justice agents, widespread
plots to smuggle arms and ammunition
to the aid of CarranZa. These ex-
ports went by sea to Galveston ana
thence across the border by sea TO
Vera Cruz, the evidence is said to
show, and since last August illegal
shipments valued at 100000 have
gone forward on three vessels. The
cargoes were falsely manifested as
plumbers supplies, candy working ma
chimes, cutting knives, corn mills and
machinery parts.
On dock at Vera Cruz box
marked candy machinery dropped
and burst. Arms were found inside,
and this led to an inquiry producing
clues which caused the federal au-
thorities to raid an importing and ex-
porting company run here by Louis
Getting and WenceslOa Mont. These
two, with Jose de la PaZ, an employee
of the firm. were arrested.

POINTS IN BUILDING SIL0S
Huge Receptacle Must Be Alright,
Perpendicular and Free From
Corners and Projections.

In selecting and building a silo the
following points fundamental to its
success should be kept in mind: To
be satisfactory a silo must be alright,
perpendicular and free from corners
or projections on the inside. A round
siIo. therefore, is the best type.
The doors must be tight fitting and
close together so that a minimum
amount of silage must be removed in
order to open the door. A continuous
door is, therefore, advisable.
Build your silO rigid and able to
withstand strong winds. Construct it
so freezing will be reduced to the mimi
mum.

New Fashionable Shadow.

It's a bothersome thing to keep
changing isn't 1t? And yet, If you
wish to be considered smart, you must
throw a fashionable shadow. Now, to
do that this season you must remove
the hoops from your evening gown
and let the full draperies just flare
enough of themselves to keep stink
ing" or "directoire" look which your
silhouette showed several years ago.
In your afternoon gown, the sill
houette of straight lines predominates.
No bouffancy here. But when it comes
to the topcoat, you have some flare
again-not too much, because topcoat
materials are soft and cannot stand
stif1y outright.
If you indulge in furs you will find
an added width to the shoulder line
Is the result, while the chin which
disappeared last winter in the folds of

protection to the farm insect pests.
The value derived from increased pro-
ductiOn on account of increased fer
tility will more than pay for the la
Dor. The civic improvement brought
about by clean yards and barns will
Increase the value Of the premises. The
air will be purer and the disease germs
fewer, and the infection TO both man
and stock reduced to a minimum.
Much has already been discussed
relative to the removal of nAnures and
filth for the purpose of freeing the
premises of hog cholera. Experts have
clearly demonstrated that cleanliness Is
one of the best preventives for hog
ycholera.
Now, if sanitary conditions are bene-
fetal to a hog, such conditions are
surely good for a man. A man only
lives one life, and this life should be
one of practice rather than experiment.
There are no grounds for supposing
that accumulation of filth and manure
can have no effect on the vitality of
human being living in the vicinity of 1T.
If man thinks that his obligations
are finished when he furnishes food
and clothing for his family he Is
wrong. He should share his intelli-
gence and demonstrate by putting SAM
tary actions into practice for family
health protection. A family well
dressed and well fed, but without
health, is no particular benefit to
community.
Nearly all the prevalent ills of the
body are either directly or indirectly
disseminated by the housefiy. The
fly cannot develop without breeding
places. Such places are generally con-
taminated with disease germs of vari-
GUS kinds. The elimination of the
breeding places will rid the country OF
the flies, and also carry many of the
germs which they commonly carry.
Scatter the manure.
