 Sir Eyre Grove, under secretary, spoke to the Swedish minister in this sense on May H..

 The latter admitted that there might have been ground for com plaint, but added nothing of the kind has happened for some months and it will not occur again..

In Rice Fields.

Rice lands are usually ploughed a short time before planting time, and in some parts of southern Louisiana the land $ so low and wet and the soil so stiff as to necessitate ploughing in the water. Deep ploughing is rec commended by leading rice experts. It the soil and the more thoroughly it is pulverized the better the crop. The roots of annual cultivated plants do not feed much below the plough line 1t is therefore evident that deep culti- vation places more food within reach of the plant.

Fashion is ever looking ahead. At this season we must consider the Autumn and it's needs. Here is a coat that will be ad- mirable for many occasions, also will be really ideal for be- tween-seasons time. 1t can be made of serge as it is here, or of broadcloth or of light weight burella, or it can be made ot silk, as you want a servlceable coat or a dressy one" For be- fween-season and very early Autumn, serge is good, unllncd or lined with very thin silk, and foulard and the like are used for the purpose. The body por- ton is plain and smooth fitting and the full skirt is joined to 1t. The pockets make very smart feature and the straps that ex. tend over the belt are novel and attractive. For a dressy coat, charmeuse, or any one ot the silks that are used for CloakS, would be handsome, and tor real Autumn, it would be very smart to trim it with velvet. Here, a light weight Summer serge is trimmed with satin.
 For the medium size will be needed, 5 yards of material 3o inches wide, 4 yards A, 33s yards, 54 with 1M yards 30 inches wide for the trimming.
 The pattern No. 94oo is cut in sizes from 34 to AZ inches bust measure. It will be mailed to any address by the Fashion Department of this paper, on receipt of fifteen cents.
 The long waist is apt to be be- coming to very little girls and this frock shows the belt most becon1ingly arranged. The kilted skirt below is a good one, too, for it allows freedom of movement and activity at the same time that it gives smart lines. The blouse is perfectly plain and simple but the double breasted closing and the collar give it very smart touch. It and the skirt arc joined one to the other with a narrow belt and the trimming belt arranged over tln smaller belt. Here, white linen is trimmed with blue but a pretty effect could be ob- tained by making the dress all of white and scalloping the edges of the collar, cuffs and belt with color.
 For the 6-year size will be needed, 43s yards of material 27 inches wide, 314 yards 3o, ..,y with iittlhax~5s 5s y yard 3o inches .WVidlee .Widle for tho trimming.
 The pattern No. o4Ss is cut in sizes from 4 to 8 years. It will be mailed to any address by the Fashion Department of this paper, on receipt of ten cents.

Get Your Hudson Super-SiX Now While You Can
 Present Prices Can Not Last Long 51 Cars Have Already Advanced

 From the standpoint of real value, the Hud- son Super-Six is the lowest-priced car on the market.
 Recent price advances on 51 cars have en- tirey upset the usual standards by which mot Or car values have been determined In each price group cars naturally found their own place. But now, because some makers must supply their material wants in the present high market and because Hudson has limited sup ply bought last year, the selling prices of cars do not indicate their values
 Those companies which faced the necessity of buying materials in the high market had to advance their prices in proportion. It added as much as $1OO to $70O to the retail price of cars. It forced former $1, 200 and $1, 400 cars up to approximately the price of Hudson Super-Six.
 Hudson prices for the time being remain un- changed Judged by today's material market the Super-Six would have to sell at approXl- mately $2,O00. Today you can get seven- passenger phaeton at $1 $50. Such prices can not be continued when the supply of materials

BOISE-No riders of any kind were
attached to the good roads bill in the
committee of the whole Thursday af-
ternoon. and the committee recon-
mended the bill which provides for
million dollar bond issue. back TO the
house in its original form. Republi-
can Floor Leader Johnston favored an
amendment to the bill which would
set aside one hundred thousand dol
lars for state aid to counties in the
erection of bridges, the state to con-
tribute not less than one-third of the
cost of such bridges as might be ap-
proved by a board consisting of the
governor, state engineer and state
highway commission where such
bridges cost at least twenty-thous-
and dollars.
The author of this amendment had
in mind particularly the making avail
able of this part of the million dol
lars for bridges that were not on the
roads designated as state highways,
and claimed il was the only means by
which counties not situated on state
highways could share in the benefits
of the million dollar expenditure of
the big bond issue, although such
counties would have to contribute
their full part of the taxes to meet
the bond issue.
Although the amendment was unan-
imOus1y Endorsed by the house appro-
priatiOns committee, il proved very
unpopular and remarks were made
