IN bIAolAoO ''ANAi J>>DO~ ~O one of the prettiest and most becoming that could be shown, and just now it is one of the smartest. This one is made of crepe de chine with trimming of flet lace and the skirt that accompanies it is made of a figured 'pongee, but the blouse is a good model for every material that is used for garments of the sort, whether for the sepa- rate blouse or for. the simple gown. The skirt is admirable for the sports costume and for the coat suit and fbr the street dress. Just the combination shown here is a fashionable and a serviceablc one for many needs. If you like the costume idea better than the contrasting blouse, you could make the skirt of a Summer serge and the blouse of crepe de chine.
 For the medium size the blouse will require, 23s yards of material 36 or A inches wide, and the skirt, 334 yards 36 or "A, 31s yards 54.
 The blouse pattern No. o485 is cut in sizes from 34 to AZ inches bust measure, and the skirt pat tern No. 94S4 in sizes from 24 to g inches waist measure. They will be mailed to any ad- dress by the Fashion Depart ment of this paper, on receipt of fifteen cents for each.
 Whether you make this suit of, Summer weight serge as it is here or of pongee Or of linen, it will be exceedingly smart and satisfactory. The combination of the white serge with the white that is hair lined with black is exceedingly smart and attractive, but wonderful effects can be obtained in pongce and in linen and they are lovely, cool materials to wear through. out the Summer season. The coat is a very new one with a double-breasted vest that forms points below the waist and a very wide collar that can be worn as it is here or buttoned up closely about the throat. The skirt suits it singularly well. It is made in two pieces with the front edges Tapped.
 For the medium size the coat will require, 5H yards of ma terial 3o inches wide, AZ yards A, 312 yards 54 with I
 Al for t''c c~"c.r and vest.
 the skirt will be needed, yards 36, 2A yards A, 21o yards 54 inches wide.
 The pattern No. o48o is cut in sizes from 36 to A inches bust measure, and the skirt pat tern No. o482 in sizes from 24 to 34 inches waist measure. They will be mailed to any address by the Fashion Depart ment of this paper, on receipt of fifteen cents each. @~

Why Not Keep Public
Buildings Decent?

Two or three courUhouses recent
ly seen were a positive disgrace to
the counties to which they be-
longed. In fact, the great ma
jortiy of courthouses are not kept
clean. Waste paper, mud and,
worse than all else, tobacco juice
are always in evidence. The two
disgusting habits of splitting to-
bacco juice everywhere and of
scrawling and marking where
ever a place is found to make
marks continue to render our
public building unsightly. And
both habits seem to be indust-
riously cultivated by a large pro-
portion Of our people.
The boy who makes marks on
the white walls of a courthouse
or schoolhouse has not had the
training he needs. The man who
spatters floor and sidewalks with
tobacco spit lacks some of the
instincts of decency. The COM
munity that tolerates dirt and
disorder in and about it's public
buildings has not yet attained to
an ideal state of civilization.

Big Coal Operate

Steele and John G. Gillespie. of
Virginia, are opening up a new
field on the Cumberland & Man.
chester Railroad, about four miles
from Barbourville. They have
purchased 300 acres of land that
is underlaid with the best coal in
the county, they are now putting
in their tipples and driving en-
tries. These gentlemen are wide
awake. They saw the advertis-
ment of the lands for sale in the
Mountain Advocate, they came
here relying upon the truth
of the Advertisement and found
it just as stated and bought the
property. They will be ready to
ship coal in sixty days. This is

in the county, and is easy to get
out.

SeasOnable Suggestions

Remember that the blades and
shucks of the corn will feed as
much stock as the same land in
grass hay. The way to get this
value is to cut and shock the
corn at the proper stage and
shred or stack the stalks and
feed as you would hay.
Never was the hog pasture as
important as at present. 1t can
be made to save about or alto
gether half of the grain this
winter. Crimson or red clover
can be started if the land is
ready. If the land still has to
be prepared, winter oats, rye or
barley will be the best thing to
sow.
A ton of manure for each COW
or thousand-pound steer for each
month that they are kept up and
fed is what can be saved. If
you are not getting that, plan
for more bedding and to keep
the stock either in the barns or
out in a field where the fertility
is needed. Do not let them
stand in the barn lot.
On thin uplands in the South
phosphate fertilizers cannot be
left off without loss, even at
present prices. Acid phosphate
and basic Stag meal are the chief
sources of phosphoric acid. Bone
meal also contains a large per
cent of fairly available phospho-
ric acid. Raw ground rock phos-
plate is very slowly soluble. but
may come in better favor than
ever before if acid phosphate
gets scarcer and higher.

Modern Philosophy
THE DEATH GANTLET

The doctors are such funny
jays, do not understand their
ways. They come and sit besid my
bed and make me feel Pm almost
dead, so they can hand me out
their pills to cure me of my pains
ills. They charge me twenty
bucks a call, so they can make a
money haul; and when they've
taken all buck they let my case
go plumb to shucks and go to see
some other man who has some
kale stored in a can. Why, way
back there in sixty four that good
old hearted Doctor Moore kept
every person we'll and free just
from his jokes and boneset tea;
and only charged a franc or two
or just a wax of homemade chew.
But now we cannot eat a bit ex-
cept what science says is fit, but
as l doctored some poor guy, I'd
give him meat and apple pie. I'd
give him slaw and beans and
cake and everything that one can
make, for food is food both here
and there, in spite of doctors
windy air. But when the doc
tors lay US low. the undertakers
strike a blow, and so we leave in
rags and shame without a red
cent to our name. Oh friends!
no matter if you're few, | ask
this single thing of you. When
launch out my boat to sea, don't
leave my tombstone charged to
me.

The First Pair Of Pants.

Cole Hughes & Co., have be-
come very patriotic, they will
give your new son his first pair
of pants, all you have to do
is to drop them a card, write
them a letter or stop in and tell
them about the new arrival, they
will not ask you to wait until the
young fellow is a year old, but
will deliver the pants to you right
then and there, they are to be
put on the young american on his
first birth day. Don't forget this,
it is a bona fide gift.

Advertising Lowers
Price of Goods,

When the manufacturer of a
famous breakfast food speciality
began advertising, his goods sold
at Is cents a package. Today the
package is so per cent larger and
the price has been reduced to 10
cents. Advertising did it.
The producer of another we'll
known food speciality is selling
his goods at 25 per cent less to
the wholesale grocery trade than
four years ago.
Twenty years ago a nationally
advertised shaving stick was sold
in a cheap metal leatherette-
covered box. Today a stick con-
tanning 20 per cent more soap is
sold in a handsome nickel box at
the same price.
The most conspicuous example
of them all is the automobile
business. Compare the S., ZOO or
$40. 900 cars of ten years ago
with the equally good cars of to-
day, selling for a fraction of the
money.
How has this been done? By
means of advertising, which has
created demand on a larger scale
and thus permitted production
and distribution on a large scale.
Result improved manufacturing
efficiency and reduced selling
costs. And all of this in the face
of a steady increase in the cost
of labor and raw materials
which, with advertising elimina-
ted, might in many cases have
fairly doubled the price of the
goods.

AFTER THF WAR.

Inc war is not over yet. 1t
almost certainly will not be over
this year. 1t may not be over
for several years. This country
is just beginning to prepare to
get ready to go into it. Still it
is not too early to begin to think
about and to prepare for the end
of it and the things after that.
All that this country sacrifices
to carry on the war will have
been well spent if after the war
comes a period of better under
standing among the nations, of
more respect in international
dealings for right and justice, of
fairer treatment for weak nations
and little peoples, of greater in
dividual freedom and happiness
for the lands and races that have
been oppressed.
All that is given will be given
largely in vain if after this war
the old spirit of lust for power
and desire for conquest remains,
and if other nations rise up to
strive, as Germany is now striv-
ing, for world dominion.
We all long for peace to come,
but the most terrible thing that
could come to the world now
would be an inconclusive peace.
Better five years of war than
peace tomorrow if that peace left
the world divided into two hos
tile camps, each preparing for
another struggle.
The German autocracy and the
idea it stands for must be crush
ed before any lasting peace can
be made.
And when this is done and a
peace of justice is obtained-a
peace that will give the small
nations an equal chance with the
great, there must be formed a
league of nations to enforce
peace and to that league every
nation must be invited to belong.
There must be no trade wars, no
boycotts, no attempts after the
war to prevent the legitimate re-
covery and expansion of any ma
ton. Such things can only make
for future wars.
There will be other wars after
this; other wars, possibly, in
volving, as this one does, the
whole world. Peace on earth is
as yet transient thing. But
for all this, the tendency of the
civilized world is away from war
and towards peace and justice.
A thousand years ago almost
every man was a warrior or a
slave. A thousand years from
now we may be sure wars will
be much less frequent than now.
Whatever will make for progress
toward an abiding peace is worth
while. The two things that will
do most to prevent war in the
future are absolute equality and
fairness in all trade relations and
the joining of the nations in an
armed league to punish offenders
against the peace of the world.
