That Midniuht Oil.

friend of the family. that John is
still burning the midnight oil at col

Eyes, indeed" replied the fond but

furnish very inferior quality of oil.

The gradual frightening of skirts
that has come with the vogue for
lines is noticeable in many
dresses; but women, on the whole,
have not taken readily to the longer
skirts, and the short skirt for street
costumes is still favored by a great
many. A long street skirt is really
not graceful in a tailored suit, and We
men are not willing to sacrifice be-
coming styles so readily.
In afternoon and evening dresses,
however, the longer skirt is not at all
ungraceful. Some afternoon and eve
ming dresses show slight variations
from the straight lines. The Turkish
trouser effect and draped skirt come
from Paris as a departure from the
extremely staight hanging and cling
ing effects.
Full overskirts are also much used
for evening, fashioned of soft silk
voiles, tulles and laces. Black and
white combinations occur very often
in evening gowns. Black net worked
up with white beads over white sat
in foundation is one of the striking
combinations used by an expert
French designer. A sash of black sat
in forms a wide girdle, which is
weighted at the ends by heavy black
and white bead tassels.
Bead Embroidery Very Prominent
Bead embroidery is a strong rival
just now of the darned-stitch embroid-

SWEDEN VOTING ON UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE,

Correspondence Associated Press) Stockholm, Aug. 20.-The great po- litical event of this year in Sweden is the general election for the Chamber, which lasts from Sept. to Sept. 21, elections being conducted in deliberate and leisurely fashion in this country. The main issues are the questions of universal suffrage for all citizens over 21 years old, including women, and the foreign economic policy of the govern ment. In the latter respect, the ex- isting government is being attacked both by Liberals and Social Demo crats, although all parties are solid for neutrality.
 A significant feature of the three last general elections has been the squeezing out of the Liberal party by the Conservativities and Social Demo- crats, and probably this will be more marked this year. The best-informed newspapers predict slight Socialist gains. The Socialists probably will be the strongest of the three parties in the chamber, but it is doubtful wheth- CT they will be strong enough to form a government. The result is likely to be a coalition of some kind.
 1 Liberals condemn the economic pol icy of the government on the ground that it has not done it's utmost to pre- vent the exportation of necessities.
 The present governments main argument for it's continuance is that the presence of M. Granting in Lb ereal-Socialist government would be viewed with suspicion in Germany. The present government is not ex- pected to resign even in"the face of a considerable adverse showing at the polls, and even hostile vote in the new chamber, which meets January 15, might not force resignation, as the senate will continue heavily Conserva tive, and vote of both houses is re- tquired to compel the dismissal of the ministry.
 Part of the Socialist platform is the abolition of plural voting, which is re- sponsiblc for the preponderance of Conservatives in the upper house.

PAGE URGE FARMERS
 HOLD COTTON FOR BOG
Commissioner of Agriculture Declares to Sell for Less Than p Cents
 Is to Sacrifice

Little Rock, Spet. 17.-John H.. Page, commissioner of agriculture, has issued the following 'To the Cotton Growers of Arkansas"
 "There has been slump of from 30 to 45 dollars bale in cotton in the recent past. It is needless to refer to cotton statistics to say that this slump is not justified. The estimate of a 1,500,OOO bale crop for 1917-1S has not been sustained by subsequent conditions. More spindles arc running now than heretofore. The stock of cotton on hand is low and would be practically exhausted except for the new crop. Everything points to an in, crease in the price of cotton. We all know that it has cost more to produce the present crop than any previous crop. We all know that practically all of the cotton passed out of the farm ers' hands last year at less than 20 cents podhd and that it later advanc- ed to 27 cents a pound. By all of the natural conditions the present cotton crop should sell for not less than 30 cents a pound. It is my confident be- lief that it will reach that price during the season, but that if the farmers will pursue their usual course and sell their cotton as soon as ginned, the price will not materially advance un- till the cotton is out of the hands of the farmers and in the hands of the spectators.
 "If the Arkansas cotton crop is sold for less than 25 cents a pound it will be sold at sacrifice. Twenty cents for the Arkansas farmers cotton this fall and winter will mean hardship and some privation next year. It will mean greater burdens for merchants and financiers. It will mean drain upon the country that the country is not prepared to stand, and will hurt everybody, every business and every industry. If this statement of facts is true our duty is plain. It is to hold cotton for better price, and the obligation rests alike upon all, iHt solar as their business relations toueb the transaction of producing and hand- ling cotton. If the Arkansas cotton had been held last year it would have sold for 25 cents a pound. If it is held this year we may expect as much. The present price of cotton goods more than justifies the hope. Eight ounce Osnaberg is selling at wholesale for 31 cents a yard. That means 62 cents a pound. Osnaberg is low grade cot ton goods, not requiring high grade or staple cotton. The cost of manu- facture does not exceed ten cents

New Orleans. Sept. 17.-Unsettled weather over the belt caused a rise of 16 to IS points in cotton around the opening of the market here today.

 Reports of crop deterioration and boil weevil damage had their effect in the afternoon. At 1:30 the active months were at net advance of il to 15 points.
