NEW FALL SHADES.
Variations of the Old CoIors That Are
Popular.

Variations of the Old Colors That Are
Popular.
Brown is promised q greater vogue
than usual, though it was somewhat
|, emphasized last winter. There are sew
eral new medium shades bearing fanci-
full names which no one remembers or
uses. Kolinsky is the one most likely
TO get its name, since every one is
familiar with the fur and recognizes
the aptness of the name on the color
card. Hudson seal is brown darker
than the seal brown of old and includ-
ed among the American colorings. Java
is good dark brown.
The various manufacturers issue
their own color cards, and on the
French cards this season American
names frequently appear, as in one
syndicate's line OF American blues
running from light to dark, but al
with pronounced warmth and In
tensity.
Greens of rather dark tones are bid
ding for favor, both the lovely blue
green's and the ivy shades, with jade
colorings for good third.
Deep purple and the beet root. which
had a trial last winter, are considered
very good, and the wine reds are re-
vived, though apparently not with last
seasons enthusiasm, the purplish Con-
cord being the wine shade most often
seen.
Blues of many sorts are, as usual.
popular. Women will have blue no
matter what the color cards say, and,
though Paris has laid more emphasis
on black than on the ark blues, of
late large majority Of the early au-
tumn suits and one piece wool frocks
ordered are In the perennial dark blue.
Mahogany shades in greater number
than appeared last year are with us.
The French emphasize them as they
did last winter This is q most trying
color to the average woman and one
that In most Of its shades refuses to
blend amicably with others, but often
effective In itself.
Taupe is still beloved, more so than
ever perhaps because for some reason
known to dyers 1t is likely to be scarce
this season. The Germans monopolize
some Ingredient necessary to success
with this color, so we are told, and
many a woman will add this to her
grudges against Germany.

ENGLIS GOVERNMENT TAKES
OVER LARGE LAND 0LDINGs

LONDON, Oct 22-During the past
three years the British government
has gradually developed into land
grabber" on a scale which exceeds all
previous performances. Its total
seizures and purchases" of real
estate, since the war began, aggre-
gate more than 10000 acres, divide
among thousands of pieces of land,
some only feet square, others con-
tanning many thousands of acres.
This has been quite simple opera
ton, as for war purposes the govern
ment had behind it a comprehensive
law called the Defense of the Realm
Act This entitled the authorities to
take over property of all konds and
convert it to their own use, leaving
the question of compensation to be
decided afterwards
The whole question of taking over
other peoples property soon became
so complicated, however, that a special
department was constituted to operate
it, called the War Department Lands
Directorate This department deals
with all properties either temporarily
occupied or permanently acquired,
and is responsible for the management
of all such properties.
Some idea of the quantity of work
which it has to perform may be gath
cred from the statement that the mere
quartering of troops necessitates rem
tails aggregating $12,5OO,0O0 a year
When lands or buildings are occu-
pied, a claim for compensation is made
by the owner. The variety and extent
of such claim is astonishing, and the
sums involved vary from few dol
lars to several millions.

The College has received several
letters of inquiry recently regarding
the feasibility of determining by chem
ical analysis of the soil the best va
rieties of apples, peaches and other
fruits to plant 1t seems that certain
nursery agents have been selling trees
on the basis that they will take a
sample of soil from the prospective
orchard, make a chemical analysis of
it, and ship the varieties of trees best
suited to the land. Several counties
have been canvassed and thousands
Of dollars worth of trees have been
sold with this understanding.
In view of this fact, it is thought
best to warn the farmers that the
claims of these agents should not be
needed, as it is Impossible. to deter
mine by an analysis of the soil the
best variety of fruit to grow on any
particular piece of land. A chemical
analysis will, to a limited extent, in
dictate whether or not a soil is adapt
ed to fruit growing, but it is too much
to expect from it to be able to tell
the best variety to grow. The adapta-
bility of land for fruit depends on
many factors besides the chemical
composition. The soil, type, climate,
altitude, drainage and other factors
must all be taken into consideration.
Even if it were possible to fit varie-
ties to the soil in this way, it is very
doubtful if these nurseries do any
thing toward making a chemical analy-
sis of soil samples they take The
chemical analysis of soil sam
pies is tedious and expensive.
Commercial chemists charge from
$1,000 to $500 a sample for a
complete analysis. 1t is, therefore,
absurd to expect that very much would
be done toward making a soil analysis
for a $4,000 order of trees.
1t must be remembered also that in
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1917-10-22


this scheme the selection of varieties
is left entirely with the nursery,
which gives opportunity for the ship
ment of inferior varieties and even
seedlings of no value. The soil analy-
sis is evidently blind to cover this
loophole in the contract
1t should be explained that the chief
value of a soil analysis lies in the in
formation it gives as to the potential
fertility Of a soil. 1t points out those
constituents of plant food which are
abundant in the soil and those that
are deficient and need to be added as
fertilizer. 1t also indicates the
amount of soil amendments, such as
lime, needed.
A soil analysis can be used to great
advantage in a plan of farming where
systematic soil building is an object,
but it must not be expected that it
will be able to indicate the best varie-
ties of fruits or crops, as this depends
on so many different conditions.
The United States Bureau of Soils,
working in cooperation with the
State College of Agriculture, has com
pleted and published soil reports of As
counties in the state, These reports
indicate and describe the soils most
suitable for fruit growing. They may
be obtained free from the United
States Bureau of Soils at Washington
The State College of Agriculture has
made chemical analyses of the soils
of ten counties of the State and can
give all the necessary information as
to the chemical composition of the
main soil types.
The practical experience of a sec
ton should do more to prove what
variety or varieties of fruit are best
adapted than anything else. If pros
pective grower wishes to introduce a
new variety he should consult the Hor-
ticultural Department of the College
of Agriculture.

TWENTY-FIVE MORE MEN
CALLED TO FILL QUOTA
Necessary to Send an Excess of Ten
Per Cent, or &c Men to Fort
Dodge

Because it is necessary to send an
excess of ten per cent of this county's
quota to Fort Dodge, or a total of
&C men, the local board has found it
necessary to call up an additional 25
men for examination. The county's
quota of selected men is 60, and only
the first so out of the Sc who are
found acceptable at Fort Dodge will
be taken, and the others will be re-
turned, and will then be selected or
excused in accordance with the new
regulations.
There have been many volunteer
enlistments from the county since
the draft quota was made up, but
the county will not get credit for
these volunteers until the next APP
portionment is made up.
The following men have been sum-
moned to appear before the local
board at 10 o'clock today, November
3d.

Pain is all gone from her poor heart
and brain,
Never more to return again.
Yes, she has gone from her earthly
home,
The family circle is broken,
o, dear daughter, missed day by day,
From her accustomed place,
But saved and perfected by grace,
One more soul in heaven;
One less at home.
Ruth's voice of welcome is hushed in
death,
One farewell word unspoken,
But she has gone to that shore,
Where parting is no more.
One more soul in heaven,
Dear Ruth is gone from home,
A sense of loss that meets us every
where within,
A house so desolate and vacant,
But she has gone to heaven, our coming
to await,
One more in heaven.
She has gone to heaven,
What a comfort to brighten those
cloudy days;
A theme for thankfulness and praise,
Another link on high our souls to rise,
To home in heaven.
One more at home in heaven,
That home where separation cannot be,
And thanks to God for the promise
given,
And Christ for our leader to
Guide us to our loved one in heaven,
For the dreary grave is but the field,
Where lies the hopeful grain,
And those with many a tear we yield,
Shall be our own again.

YOUNG LADY KILLED
In AUTO ACCIDENT
Ruth COsgroVe Dies As Result of In
juries Received When Auto
- Turns Turtle

One of the saddest accidents con-
ceivable occurred last Saturday eve
ming, when an auto carrying four
young people was wrecked near Don
nelly, and as a result one young
lady was killed.
Those in the party were the Misses
Ruth and Hazel COsgrove, daughters
of Mrs. Geo. Cudrio, of Morris, and
Ingvald Christianson and Arthur
Solseth, both living about eight miles
east of Morris. The young people
left Morris about nine o'clock in
tending to go to Herman to attend
a dance and when about two miles
from Donnelly, Christianson, who
was driving, asked Hazel to steer
while he put on his mittens. She
lost control of the car, not being
directly in front of the wheel, and
the car turned over throwing the
occupants onto the hard road. Ruth
evidently landed on her head, caus-
ing fracture at the base of the
skull and did not regain conscious
ness before passing away on Sunday.
Hazel had her nose and face badly
bruised and Christianson received a
fractured collar bone and his left
shoulder was injured. Solseth came
out of the accident with only bad
shaking up. Prof. Schwartz and Miss
Mildred Smith of Donnelly came
along soon after the accident oc-
CURED and brought the injured peo-
pie back to Morris, where DR.. Game
did all possible for Ruth and dressed
the wounds of the others.
The deceased was born in Fargo,
March "a, 1908, and was about fif-
teen years of age. She came to Nor
ris with her mother six years ago
and during that time she had be-
come closely associated with her
schoolmates and friends, being in the
9Th grade at school. She was mem
Der of the Lutheran Synod church
and would have been confirmed in
two weeks. She was an exceptional
ly studious and fine young lady and
her loss will be most keenly felt by
her school friends and teachers.
The funeral was held Wednesday
afternoon at the Lutheran Synod
church at 2 o'clock, Rev. Thornell
officiating.

Fuel Situation None too Good


A few cars of hard coal was re-
ceived by Morris fuel dealers this
week, after several weeks of wait
ing. So far it has not been difficult
to get soft coal, altho only about
seventy-five per cent of the amount
ordered has been received.
One Morris dealer has had an or
der in for coal since June and has
not received any yet. The Morris
City Mills received three cars of hard
coal last Saturday and it went like
hot cakes on winter morning. One
car was distributed to the farmers
and the other two cars we're appor-
toned out to city people, only small
quantities being sold to any one per-
son.
The fuel situation is considered
somewhat grave, but all the coal in
the state has been Communicated by
the Public Safety Commission and is
being apportioned as equally as pos
sible. Those who are acquainted
with the fuel situation declare that
if people will be reasonable and don't
get frantic and try to fill their bins
there will be enough coal to supply
Minnesota.
In a nutshell, the seriousness OF
the coal situation can be relieved tc
great extent this season if people
do not over buy and if they will burn
more soft coal which it is possible
to get more readily.
