Advanced guesses regarding the gen.
cral suspicious tenor OF the govern

correct. but erred in being too bearish
concerning the size of the estimated
yield and as to the condition of
growth. Aside from the downward i'm
pulse which prices received from
gossip about the government report,

due to the embargo notices. notwith-

of corn exported to neutral countries

causes similar to those which operated

A WOMAN's VOCATION.

One OF our modern writers has said,
"A woman is as efficient in business
as Il man-when she is"
The reason why sometimes she is
not so efficient is that her health may
fail. But the wise business woman
knows now what to do when attacked
by the ailments peculiar to the &c.
called weaker sex" That greatest
OF all remedies for woman's ills, Lydia
f. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
has been freeing women from such
ailments for forty years. Try 1t, 1!
YOU suffer from such an ailment, and
insure your competency and efficienc.
in the business world.-Adv.

A heavy increase In acreage of corn

Increase being on land not formerly

and acreage formerly devoted to hay.
The growth Is several weeks late, but
the seed was generally OF superior
quality. stands. color and vigor are
generally above the average. There
have been some losses on flooded bot :
tom lands and a moderate amount of
replanting has been necessary.
The corn crop suffered from drought

moisture is sufficient or in excess,
Cultivation is fair to good in most
states. though in some sections excess
moisture has intcrfercd. Temperatures
were much too cool earlier, but during
the latter part Of June they have been
very favorable.

MAKING DURABLE RUGS.

Social Corner Sisters: As I have a good part of my sewing done, for a change I am going to sew rags for rugs. I have them all cut and ready to go to work at. I am going to sew them hit and miss, with bright cblers for a border. Blue and white rags, twisted. make very pretty bathroom rugs and they are easily washed Mems old clothes make very service able rugs. Pains should be taken to cut them nicely. Do not turn corners, for if you do your rug will not be smooth when finished. Sew hit and miss and you will have rug that will lie fiat as a braided rug and will not kick up.
 An old ingrain carpet have I am going to send away, together with some old clothes, to- have made into a rug on one eof the power looms. It will cost little more than an or dinary weaver would charge, but think it will pay in the end.
 Wonder if any other Sisters have suggestions to make along this line of work? Let us hear from them-

HELPFUL RECIPES AND sUo
 GESTIONS.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: I come again with a few helpful ideas and recipes:
 Baked Potatoes--If before baking po- tatoes you will pour boiling water over them and. let them stand for a mo- ment before putting into the oven, they will be smooth. light brown and full when they go to the table.
 Marguerites-Boils two cups of gran ulated sugar in enough water to dis solve we'll When the syrup threads, pour it into the well beaten whites of two eggs and beat until smooth; then stir in one cup of chopped nut meats. Spread on crackers and place in hot oven until glazed over top.
 A Dainty idea-When washing white shirt waist, put a bit of orris root in scalding water and pour over them the last thing. Let stand while and the result when dry will be a dainty fra grance that will appeal to you.
 Cocoa Spots7Cocoa spots can be re- moved by brushing with pure giycer- inc and a minute later wash with lukewarTn water. Rinse and press on the wrong side of the ctoth with a warm iron. e
 To kindie Fires - Potato parings dried in the oven are good to kindle fires, as they light easily.
 To Clean a Straw Hat-FIrst of all, brush every speck of dust off, then sponge the hat freely with peroxide of 1t often to let the sunshine reach ey : cry part of it. Repeat the sponging if the h14 ig not bieacned by the first application. This treatment Is fof white hats-that have become yellow. 'h'N t' STARLIGHT NO. 2. F.
