A New Veil Pattern.

The cherry blossom is a new veil pat
tern which is fancied by younger wom-
en- because it is dashing and different.
Fine lines of delicate blossoms ana
stems trail over the mesh, converging
at the center of the chin, where there
is a coquettish dot of black velvet.
Two long sprays running out from this
dot form the border; two more at an
angle of 60 degrees stray from the
dot to the ears, and two more at an
acute angle just escape the outer cor
ners of the eyes. Over a pretty and
youthful face this new veil is decided
ly fetching.

Pontine Still Holds

Pontine has gained considerable
vogue. This pretty material, which
leoks like soft, lusterless kid on one
side and satin on the other is splendid
for sport coats and hats. The coat,
though the material is almost as supple
as kid glove, is generally made on
strictly sports lines. with the leather
side out. The collar and cuffs are
often turned to show the bright colored
reversible side. In one of the newest
sports hats the satin side was placed
on the outside, so the under brim was

Any plain, small, tailored hat, worn
with veil to hold it in place, answers
the purpose for motoring. But for
those who are devoted to this recrea-
ton, and for long journeys, specially
designed hats have proved themselves
superior. Experience has taught the
devotee of motoring what she needs,
and those needs are not so simple, as
a glance at motor hats might lead one
to believe.
The first requisite of motor hat is
comfort, and it must fit like a glove.
1t must be a soft hat with tailored
finish, that becomes a street hat when
1t parts company with a veil. Above
all, come what may in the way of wind
and exceeding the speed limit, it must
stay on. This last necessity has
proved the mother of invention, and
hat appears among us that triumphant
ly sticks to the head no matter what
happens. Two examples of it are
shown in the group of three motor
hats pictured above.
This hat is made of braids or fab
RIGS or the two combined, in a variety
of becoming shapes, and usually has n
soft crown and narrow brim. And
it is in the management of the brim
that the designer has solved the prob
lem of holding the hat to the head.
Just across the back the brim is alb
sent. 1t comes to an end ON each
side. Between these ends strong
elastic band extends, sometimes in
serted in the crown, and that elastic
band does the work. The hat at the
left has a fabric crown and braid
brim. Across the front the crown Is
supported by four squares of braid,
each finished with row of fabric
covered buttons. With the removal of
the veil this becomes more than pre-
seHtable street hat.

S. Joseph and Sons of Des Moines,

With the assistance of the Canadian

they made selection near Champion

at Des Moines, one of the members of
the firm says: 81 have much pleasure
in advising you that on our farm five
miles east of Champion, in the Prov
ince of Alberta, Canada. this year
(1916) we harvested and threshed TO-
600 bushels of wheat from 240 acres,
this being an average of A bushels

able to keep the cost of growing wheat
at about % cents bushel."

A BUSINESS
The Modern Day Farmer Applies
Business Methods and Seeks
More Than a Living on
the Farm.

A nationwide cry is being made for
and probably never was the need of
foodstuffs equal to that of the present.
Grain prices are the highest in the ma
TONS history and today the agricul-
tural fields of America offer induce
ments that are unequaled in any other
line of commerce or business. The
ideal life is that close to nature, en-
joying the freedom of Gods great out
doors and fulfilling duty to human
ity by producing from fertile soil
that which is essential to the very ex-
lStence of q less fortunate people who
are actually starving to death for food
stuffs that can be produced So eco
nomically in the United States and
Canada.
High prices for all grains, undoubt-
eddy, will be maintained for a number
of years, and it appears certainty
that the agriculturist will reap a
bounteous return for his labor and at
the same time carry out the demands
of patriotic citizenship. A wrong com
ceptfon has been generally noticed as
to Life on the Farm" 1t has, been,
to q large extent, considered as only
a place to live peacefully and afford a
living for those who are satisfied with
merely comfortable existence. Such
a wrong impression has been created
in measure, by the lack of systema-
tic business principles to farming in
general But today farming and agri-
culture have been given supremacy
in the business world and require the
same advanced methods as any other
line of commerce In no other BUSH
ter than on the farm, and it is certain
that there is no other line of work,
that, generally speaking, needs 1T as
much. The old idea of getting living
off the farm and not knowing how 1T
was made and following up the details
of each branch of farming to get the
maximum of profit, at the least ex-
pense, is fast being done away with.
Farming is now being considered as
a business and living is not sufficient
for the modern agriculturist; a small
per cent on the investment is not
enough, the present-day farmer must
have percentage return equal to that
of other lines of business. The prices
for produce are high enough, but the
cost of producing has been the factor,
in many places, that has reduced the
profit. cit is the application of sys-
TEN to the cost of various work on the
farm that it is possible to give figures
on profits made in grain-growing in
Western Canada.
Mr.. G. a. Wright of Milo, Iowa,
bought a hundred and sixty acres of
land in Western Canada for $1,000 in
December. 1915, and took his first crop
from it in 1916. After paying for the
land in full and the cost of cultivating
it and marketing the grain, he sold his
grain at $1.55 bushel Ga low price
compared with the present markeD
had surplus of $2,472.67. His figures
are as follows:
