JERSEY CLOTHS
STILL HOLD SWAY.

All through the spring, one of the
materials that has kept steadily in
creaslng in popularity is wool jersey.
II has been used for coats and suits,
Tor one-piece dresses, separate skirts
and for MILDLY blouses. It has been
braided, stitched and even beaded. lust
like all the other smart materials.
Colored beads combined with silk
embroidery is the latest form of dec
oration to which jersey has taken.
AS summer approaches, there is not
the slightest indication that wool
jersey is on the wane. But, on the
contrary, one seems to see more and
more Of it every day. On dress that
could not possibly be too warm for
summer, it was combined with dotted
crepe in the following manner. pinl
crepe with white polka dots made the
waist and sleeves; the waist extended
down the hip line, and from there
downward the skirt was of white WOO
jersey. There was a small yoke of the
white jersey at the neck of the dress
This is one Of the novel ways in which
this popular material is used.
White jersey suits bound with whit,
silk braid or trimmed with black an,
white check are in very good style a

A White Organdy Waist is Smart with
Plaid Skirt

AS separate waists and skirts grow
more and more important there are
always some novelties to be found
among them. White tub skirts of cot
ton gabardine are made with yokes of
colored linen, and where the skirt is
attached to the yoke there are several
rows Of machine stitching done in
heavy colored cotton the color of the
yoke. White skirts with green, blue
or orange-colored yokes are quite
effective.
A strong military note is observed in
suits of mannfsh cut for women The
coats are short and plentifully pro-
vided with pockets like those on a SOL
dier's uniform. These suits are de-
veloped in dark blue, and khaki-col-
ored materials. Perhaps the military
spirit is also responsible for the COM
bination of blue and red so frequently
seen. Blue dresses are embroidered
with red beads or red silk, and in
some very striking models there are
entire sleeves of red with, perhaps,
pockets on the skirt showing a bright
lining of red. Hats also show the red
and blue combination, generally in
touches of red on blue straw.

MAY PROVIDE AGENTS FOR
ALL OHIO COUNTIES

Provisions are bjeng made through
the Agricultural College Extension
Service Of The Ohio State University,
whereby every county in Ohio will
have county agent permanently or
temporarily through the period of the
war. Twenty regular agents appointed
under the provisions of the Smith
Lever Act are now employed by as
many different counties in the state.
Within the past six weeks eight
counties have taken strides toward the
selection of permanent agents and the
Extension Service is now making plans
to have every county covered perman-
entity or temporarily during the wa,
period
The 80 temporary agents sent out
from the College of Agriculture anC
the Agricultural Experiment Station
will probably be recalled in part, al
their services will be needed for theil
regular duties. These will be re
placed by other men who are special
} lists in agricultural service.

NEW CROPS TO BE TRIED
ONLY IN SMALL WAY

Because of increased demands for
greater food supply, most farmers
this. year will devote their main efforts
to producing maximum staple crops
and trying the newer sorts only in an
experimental way. The Ohio Agricul-
tural Experiment Station for many
years has tried out many different
kinds of crops for conditions obtaining
in this State, and has found those Of
recent introduction and those less com
monty grown to be of doubtful value.
These specialists say that this season
is particularly unsuited for farmers to
attempt growing untried crops, but
that chief attention should be directed
to growing common crops especially
for human consumption, such as
wheat, corn, potatoes and vegetables.
