Mending His Shirts

Copyright, 1917, by the Mcclure News
paper Syndicate.
Just why that mainstay of masculine
apparel-the shirt-haS gone way UP
with advancing prices is not quite easy
to see. One can see why South Ameri-
can hides are hard to get and why
white paper has gone up in leaps and
bounds. but why shirts-but what's the
use of wondering? The fact is, shirts
have advanced in price enormously.
Of course If the purse is full as a re-
suit of the prosperity that has come to
many within these war times it doesn't
much matter The dollar- br so more
that shirts cost doesn't seem so very
great and all goes smoothly. On the
other hand If the purse is not inflated
all these little additions are hard to
meet, and in most cases the little wife
at home is the one who has to find a
solution to the difficulty. Shirts that
in other years would have gone into
the rag bag or have been sent to the
poor box now are carefully laid in the
mending basket, and a patient few
hours of sewing must see them back
into responsibility.
The first place that shirts usually
show the wear is along the fold of the
cuffs and it is simple enough matter
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1917-01-09

to turn the cuffs-in fact most women
already do this little bit of mending for
the men in their families. All that is
necessary is to rip off the cuff where
it is sewed on the sleeve. Then it
should be pulled open so that you can
get at the worn side and this should be
reinforced by fine darning. Even when
it has not broken it should be thus re-
infcrced so as to keep it in place later
when the threads do give way. Then
the cuffs should be reversed so that the
right side is turned in and sewed back
on the sleeves again. 1t is such a SIM
pie matter that any one can do it.
The next place to show the wear is at
the neck where the shirt is rubbed by
the collar and this place is so conspic-
nous that it is not easy to mend. In
some cases a little fine darning over a
piece of the shifting robbed from the
back end of the shirt is all that it
needs. In other cases, quite a piece
should be stolen from the back of the
shirt. There is always quite a super
fluffy in length to mems shirts and this
can be taken for mending purposes if
in its place an equivalent amount of
plain white cotton goods is pieced. Now
with the new material effect a piecing.
If the shirt is striped this can be done
almost without showing. At least the
casual observer would never notice
that a shirt had been pieced when it is
done along a stripe. The piecing should
be carried up to the neck band and in
serted in the band in place of the or
iginal shirt. These pieced shirts may
not look equivalent to new ones, but
they may be kept on hand in the chif-
fonier drawer to be used for days spent
out of doors in the country or for less
important occasions generally.

ILLEGAL deer HUNTING

During the past open season there
were more deer killed than for many
years past in this State, and the reason
for the Improvement in the hunting
conditions Is largely due to the de-
crease in the amount of logging" deer
which has been brought about by the
increasingly effective warden service
all over the State But there are sew
eral things which still need very care
full looking out for, the chief of which
is the very popular custom of lacking"
deer with automobile lights, a practice
which was responsible for many of the
successful auto hunting parties last
Fall, anG which is doubly hard to de-
tect and prevent because a man has
perfect legal right to drive his car
through any hunting district he cares
to visit in the night, and is compelled
by law to carry powerful lights, which
can be. and very often are, used to
dazzle the deer, which are then easily
killed by the occupants of the car who,
without stopping to dress them after
shooting. put them into the car and
hurry away before the arrival Of the
warden.
Another reprehensible practice which
thins out the deer every winter is that
of crust hunting, and this is largely
practiced by the lumber camps when
in need of fresh meat. After the snow
gets deep and heavy crust has
formed it is impossible for the deer to
travel through the woods in their Gus
.tomary manner, for the hard crust cuts
their legs and renders travel very pain
full and slow, so they gather in low and
sheltered swamps and make what is
termed a yard" where the snow is
tramped down and paths lead to all
the varieties Of trees and bushes on
which the deer feed. The backwoods-
men find these yards and when thew
need meat take a rife and Simply
drive the deer they want out of the
yard, and by following it on snowshoes
are soon able to tire the animal out. as
it breaks through the crust with every
frightened leap.

FARMERS UNION OF MAINE

The executive board of the Farmers
Union of Maine, has, since the resigna-
ton of c. L. Embree as manager of
the Union which was accepted by a
vote of 25 to II at a meeting Of the
general directors on Nov. 1st, 1916, con-
tinued to plan and accomplish along
well defined cooperative lines. F. A.
Bulge Of Mattawamkeag was appoint
ed manager of the potato and fertil-
izer for the Union. Mr.. Bulge was
manager of the Vanceboro potato ship
ping district for last year, doing bus
mess through the Boston Distributing
Co, of which the Union is part owner
and financial broker. Mr.. Bulge made
good to the extent Of paying expenses
on a charge Of cents per bushel and
returned one half cent per bushel to
producers. Let it be understood that
the president, Charles H. Gardiner is
official auditor and business helper and
instructor for the Union. The Union
has on hand quite an extensive sugar
deal, selling to the local unions at
wholesale rates. The president and
Mr.. Bulge went to Baltimore and
made contract with the Standard
Guano Co, for cash goods a shade bet
ter prices than last year with all the
potash the buyer will pay for up to Z
per cent.
