ORIGINATE
~ SOME NEW STYLES

city streets is q point of Importance.
The combination of a sand skirt with
a dark green velveteen jacket trim
med with silver buttons, is a phan-
tasy that was brought out by some
smart woman in this country.
The fashion of wearing broad
brimmed, straw sailor hats IN black
or tan, with changing scarfs wrapped
about the crown, was started at fash
ionable country clubs and has won
out.
The use of white linen coat cut
after the manner of a riding habit
and worn over a short, plain, black
velveteen skirt, was the idea of a
young matron who usually has her
own way in clothes and who cOnse-
quently attracts attention to herself
and has many followers.
The introduction of the jerkin of
Robin Hoods day, made in colored
leather, belted with the material, and
fastened with a great silver medieval
buckle, was advanced on the golf
fields of this country and has become
far more fashionable garment than
the sweater.
Another experiment of the Ameri-
can women, which could not have its
source in Paris, is the universal use
Of immense garden hats trimmed with
brilliantly colOred flowers, as part
Of city apparel. The American world
is quite used to the great hat Of straw
in country gardens, on beaches and on
the benches of athletic fields, but this
is the first summer that women in
great centers of activity have worn the
so-called country hats on the street, to
the restaurants, and for all manner of
social life.
New Kinds Of Waistcoats.
Another individuality which has been
brought out, is the waistcoat Of check
ed silk or cotton with round, yoke
collar of itself, also a cravat finished
in sailors loop with two ends.
Time was when we always consid.
cred it necessary to wear an entire

shirtwaist under coat. Today, since
good taste demands that we do not sit
in public in our shirtsleeves. the neck
wear people have reaped harvest
through the various kinds of sleeve
less bodices which they have intended
to 60 under a coat as a substitute for
blouse. Organdie, chiffon and white
muslin in various weaves are conven-
tiOnal fabrics to use for these fronts
that allow the coat to be unbuttoned,
If not removed.
But the new note is the departure
from the white to the checked fabrics.
A new colored jersey suit carries a
waistcoat made Of heliotrope and white
checked taffeta. A dark blue serge
carries waistcoat of blue and white
checked Bingham. A natural colored
pongee coat suit has a front Of geran-
ium red and yellow checks. Black and
white bingham or taffeta is used for
the full waistcoat Of an oyster white
Japanese silk suit.
These little garments are really
sleeveless blouses; they're not even
first cousins to the long, tight-fitting,
Louis XVI waistcoat which the French
have put into the topcoats and circu-
lar capes for motoring. They are at
tached to an elastic band that goes
around the waist and are fastened up
the front with pearl or coIored buttons.
One can wear white turnover collar,
but the smart thing is to keep the COL
lar of the fabric.

New York.-Life and war and
clothes and psychology make curious
mixture this midsummer. To analyze
to philosOphize, to play with grouped
masses CT people, to watch the sun
light and shadow of social existence
as it goes on In America today, are
great temptations. To stick to the
straight and narrow path of clothes,
and clothes only, is difficult.
There is no lack of certain kind
Of frivolity this summer. We shall
all 60 ON a path of moderate amuse-
ment until the war becomes too stu
pendous and is too full of terror for
us to laugh. Let us each pray to God
that that will never happen!
America Is q bit too stupendous q
segment of the earth's surface to feel
a foreign war acutely. She may
pour out her men, her sympathy. her
money, and cooperate in every way
that her ingenuity and resources al
low In the struggle toward peace,
but, without an invading army, with
her colossal industries undisturbed,
with her wealth and climate, and
with the great mass of unrelated peo-
pie of all nationalities, it is not pos
sible for her to take the war as
France takes 1t.
AS long as there is money, a chance
to wear good clothes, and no reasons
against doing it, there will be fash
ions in plenty.
individuality ls Shown.
Individualism has suddenly raised
its head above uniformity. The rea-
son Is simple. The early French
models which dominated fashions,
were sold out in a hysterical wave
OF bargains early in the spring.
Nothing has taken their place. Our
designers have not risen to the oc-
casion in mass, as many Of the
clothes critics in America thought they
would, If given a chance.
You know, there has been a strong
propaganda for half dozen years
in regard to the wholesale use of our

designers to be dominant creators, II
given an opportunity by the public.
Well, they have had the opportunity In
America, and, except in rare cases,
they have not shown any desire to take
advantage of 1t.
On the other hand, the American
women have shown some extraordi-
nary good work in origination.
Now, this Is just where the reform,
as the critics of French clothes coll
1t, should start. Paris has depended
on it's well-dressed women to lead the
way in clothes for three centuries.
America has depended on its shops
and dressmakers over here to lead
the way with French models. There
is vast gulf of difference between
the two procedures.
Women and Experiments.
There is no doubt of the fact that
women who are experts in the art Of
dressing and choosing clothes have
done some excellent work this sum
mer in branching~ out on successful
experiments. There may have been
some tailor or artistic dressmaker be-
hind their efforts. Wherever the cos
tune was complete in it's daring and
showed the hand of -master-worker,
1t was undoubtedly made at a good
establishment, but the suggestion
surely emanated from the brain Of
the possessor. y
Much that was traditional was
thrown to the winds. The extraordi-
nary influx Of cotton fabrics in the

for Matching should be kept at tenn
perature of as near 30 or 60 degrees
F. as possible and should be turned
over every day. They should be Jared
as little as possible while handling
and should be incubated while still
fresh, never holding more than two
weeks If 1t can be helped. 1t Is an ex-
cellent plan to mark the date on each
egg as 1t is gathered, in order to be
certain that no eggs are kept too long
before they are incubated.
Turkey hens are very close sitters,
and If managed properly they are the
surest means Of Matching turkey eggs
that can be used. IncubatOrs, however.
are quite as successful with turkey
eggs as with chicken eggs. The incu-
baton period Of turkey eggs Is % days.
The first egg is usually pipped during
the first part Of the 9th day, the first
poult Matched by the middle of that
day, and the hatch completed at the
end Of % days, although In extreme
cases all the pOults are not Matched
before the end of 80 days.
The average number of poults raised
under ordinary conditions is about 90
per cent of those Matched, or about
seven for each turkey hen. BY far
the greater part Of this loss occurs
when the poults are under week old.
Unless there Is an outbreak Of disease,
few are lost after they are month
old. The high mortality among young
pOults Is mainly due to exposure to
dampness and cold, improper feeding,
close confinement, lice, predatory ami
mails, and inherent weakness, the lat
ter the result of carelessness in the
selection Of parent stock.
Coop for Each Brood.
A good plan Is to have a substantial
coop for each brood Of turkeys. The
mother turkey should be confined in
this coop soon after her young are
Matched and should be kept there for
several weeks while the poults are
allowed to run about. The coop should
be placed in well-drained place and
should be moved each day. When two
turkey hens with broods Of about the
same age are turned out on free range
together they will remain in one flock,
and as this makes 1t easier to hunt
them up and care for them it is advis-
able to turn out two or three hens with
their broods together when they are
given free range. 1t Is not good plan
to have more than this number of
young poults in one flock, however, as
they may all try to crowd under one or
two hens to be lowered.
Improper feeding, combined with
close confinement, has been the cause
Of many failures in turkey raising.
When on free range the poults are
busy searching for feed most of the
day. Here there Is no overlooking and
lack Of exercise, such as the poults are
often subjected to by those ignorant Of
their wants. If the range Is plentifully
supplied with green feed, grasshOppers
and other insects, and If the weather
is favorable, then the best plan Is to
allow the poults to feed themselves.
1t is usually advisable, however, to
have them come home at night, and II
driven up and fed at q certain place
every night they will soon learn to
come up themselves.

CLUB WANTS CHANGE.
Country Club Members Consider Buy
ina New Site.

At a meeting of members of the
Country Club that was attended by
seventy five or more members Wednes-
day night, the club went on record as
favoring a new site, without specifying
any especial site, in motion that was
carried almost unanimously. After a
long discussion, following the reading
of report of r. A. Robinson, golf
course architect of Des Moines, the vote
on the desire of the club members to
relocate the club was taken. DR.. Rob-
inson reported on the Greene, Baily
and Ingledue tracts, which are avail
able.
He favors the Ingiedue farm west OF
the city as the most desirable of the
three, and said that it offered oppor-
tunity for splendid golf course and a
most desirable club house and cottage
building sites AS far as location is con-
cerned he thought it by far the most
topogra ply of the ground. Its draw
backs are lack of street car service,
which some clubs regard as an advan-
tage, and city Improvements. such as
water gas electric lights and sewers,
which were regarded as minor disad
vantages.
The motion as passed by the MEM
bers favored relocating the club pro-
viding a practicable plan for financing
the purchase of land and improvements
and for the maintenance of the club
was worked out.
To try and work out the plan for fin
ancing the members chose committee
Of five, OF which Ralph W. Scott is
chairman, and Harry J. Rodgers. n. K.
Denmead, J. I Williams. and Dr.. F. S.
Hynds are the other members. This
committee is to report at the call of the
president, and presumably will be
ready by the time the annual meeting
is to be held next month

Could Be Conserved
Several inquiries have been received
recently at the county agents office IN
regard to where early apples may be
secured for canning and drying pur-
poses. Early apples are going to waste
on dozens Of Marshall county farms
because there Is no market for them.
There are hundreds of families who
1--we in town who desire to secure ap-
pies, but do not know where to go for
them. If those who have a surplus of
early apples will call or write the
county agents office and give the To-
cation of their farm where surplus APP
pies may be secured, they will be TAX
ing q big step in food conservation.
Canning club leaders may be able

thereby adding much to the total food
supply for next winter.
