ed wool brocades with "boucle" or loop
surface, and wool or silk matelasse,
are available and make beautiful coats
for little girls. The coat in the pic
ture, of regulation coat material. is
a popular type in the fall display. 1t
is plain, with belt across the back,
fastened to the coat with one large
button at each side. The collar is
bordered with a narrow band Of fur
fabrics and the coat buttOned at the
front.
Bolivia cloth and wool velours are
fully established in coat styles for fall,
and there are numbers of novelty wool
materials that add variety to the show
ings. 1t is the business of coat fab
RIGS to look soft and warm-to suggest
comfort. Cloths and styles and trim

impression in the new winter coats.

Pile fabrics in dependable quality
are winning place for themselves that
will make them q staple feature of all
coat displays, and this is noticeable in
new showings Of coats for girls. 1t is
one indication of an increasing de-
mand for good quality in materials Of
all kind. Pile and fur fabrics are rich
looking and warm and not excelled for
durability by any other kinds Of
cloth.
Narrow fur bands or bands of fur
fabrics figure prominently in the trim
mings Of coats for children. Styles
are more simple than ever, with coats
almost plain and cut long enough to
cover the dress entirely. Small cape
collars on many Of them provide addi-
tional warmth and can be fastened up
close about the throat

made of it. An aristocrat in millinery
has bulky crown, sponsored by
world-famed French house. It is OF
black velvet with brim-facing of white
crepe with long stitches of heavy
white silk, threaded about the crown.
A collar Of narrow white ribbon, with
wired bow at the front, shows trim

A design, equally smart and simple,
appears in a small tire-brimmed hat
Of platinum gray velvet, with brim

This model has proven wonderfully be-
coming to older women. The remain
ing hat is a familiar and graceful
shape with dropping brim presenting
an unexpected cut out portion at the
front.

TAKES UP Big FOOD TASK
Mr.. Henry A. Page, North Carolina
Food Administrator, Opens Office
In Raleigh.

3NdAc1Su.-N4E. henry "A. rage, Va
Aberdeen, North Carolina's Food Ad-
ministrator, has opened his office in
the Federal Building with the pros
poets of vigorous wartime task of
cO-ordinating and maintaining, for the
duration of the struggle, the efforts of
all the food producing and food con-
serving agencies of the state. The
perfection Of state machinery will be
undertaken on the basis of sacrificial
service. Mr.. Page himself will work
on the munif1cent salary of one dollar
per annum.
This is no time to preach profits, Mr..
Page asserts. Men who are not giving
themselves can do no less than give
the utmost of what Is theirs. In adj
d3tion, for the money which could, I'M
der any circumstances, be paid for
the efforts asked, the right calibre
men could not be secured.
ono man should come out of this
war weather. than he was when he
entered it," Mr.. Page says. Making
money out Of the war, before it came
to our shores, honestly taking advan-
tage of the business opportunities
which offered themselves is not to be
condemned. After we have become a
party to it, pro1teering must cease.
To make money out of the war now
is a disgrace. This is the doctrine
I shall preach"
War is the Reason.
AS Mr.. Page puts it, the fixing Of
nv ia
tensely undemocratic thing, permissi-
BILE in democracy only on the ground
that the war has destroyed moral con-
ditions and threatens to destroy the
world. The people of the world must
be fed. The emergency must be met
by drastic action.
"As soon as the war is over and the
need for food administration passes,
every visage of this machinery now
being created for the occasion must
pass away. With salaried machine
this couldn't be done in ten years. On
the basis of personal sacrifice by the
men who are of type to render the
service, as soon as the need for the
work has passed, the machinery will
pass away overnight"
This, as Mr.. Page explains is the
wisdom of the non-remunerative offices
being created for the administration
of the food laws by Mr.. Hoover and
others.
Mr. Page last week was in confer
ence with Mr.. Hoover and others Of
the food conservation forces in Wash
ington. He has wound up such of his
private business as needs immediate
attention and is into the task of food
administration in North Carolina to
the finish. His plans are not yet work
ed out.
In the near future he will call into
conference in Raleigh a number of the
leading men in the state. Out of the
views and opinions then voiced the
program will be formed. In each
county in the state a man will be Sc
cured as county food administrator.
He must be the type of man who can
and will make the sacrifice of organ
izing the county for a house-to-house,
man-to-man campaign, undertaking to
make addresses himself throughout
the county.

On the Service of the State.

The gathering of practically 600
boys and girls at the Short Course
held at the College of Agriculture and
Engineering proves again that the
work Of the Agricultural Extension
Service, conducted Jointly by the
college and the State Department or
Agriculture, is more than justtfying
Its existence It is not believed that
another state in the union has had
such an attendance on any short
course given at their state college OF
agriculture. Looking for an attend
ance Of about two or three hundred
the authorities were surprised when
train after train came in loaded with
members of the agricultural clubs
coming to join their fellows for a
week Of inspirational work and fun.

Control Cotton Anthracnose.

Each year along about this time the
agricultural experiment station or
the college and department OF agr1cuI-
ture receives number OF specimens
of diseased cotton bOlls. These bolls
are more or less affected with a fun
gus diease known as "boll-rot" or
anthracnose. It is disease which Is
spread by seed having been obtained
from rotten or half-rotten bolls the
previous fall. Hence, it may be seen
that to properly control 1t the seeo
must be free from disease. AS 1t hrst
appears the boil has small p1nk1sn
looking srotten spot which ent1rely
DESTROYS certain bolls and leaves 9TH
ers partially destroyed. When the
seed is saved from partially rotted
hollis il has within it the fungus and
when the seed is planted 1t Will pro-
duce plants bearing the "boll-rot.
From this it may be seen that the
disease is controlled by planting o1s-
ease-free seed. But 1t also mas Deen
found that the disease will i've ovs'
in old stalks and bolls left In the ne!o'
Where cotton is to be planted on tne
came field the next year these STALKS
ord hollis should be plowed under al
1oaa+ six inches. By far the best plan'
however. is to rotate the crop, puttlns
m cotton on the same land each year
where disease-free seed cannot Dc
oh+ained in the neighborhood 1t IS a
oood idea to go into the field and Sc
iect such bolls as are not affacteo anu
sove the seed for next years planning.
According to DR.. F. A. Wo1' plAn'
1o+ho1opist. this should be done even
- there ia time to select only smaA
aroornt of hollis. BY planting tnese
senarately in a small plot enough WI
