There are some hand AGRICULTURAL
implements connected with the wheat
harvest whose use depends largely
upon the weather so that they sell
very well one season and scarcely at
all the next This is especially true
Of grain scvthes and cradles. In a
orv harvest there Is practically but

wet harvest the demand usually ex-
leeds ,he sucpiv Header forks are
another item OF similar nature. They
sell principally when wheat heads

gathered by the machine binder
Such vas the case last year In all
such items the dealer takes a chance
with fate each year by having a stock
on hand, and thus trusts to the aver

KEEP MONEY CIRCULATING


What the public's attitude should
he toward buying, in order 10 he tor
the best interests OF the country, was
the subject of statement made TO y
New York Times reporter few days
ago hv w. De Saussure Trenholm
secretary of the Retail Dry Goods as
ISOLATION 1t also. had the approval
Of Horace A Saks. Of Saks & Co,
president of the association Mr..
Trenholm said:
Z The situation which confronts the
people OF the United States at present
is serious and one which should cause
the INTO be governed in their activities
hy the best Judgment that intelligent
fdrethouEht can supply. The nation
is preparing 10 maintain a military
force at the front and to engage in
naval operations that are 10 be ex-
tensive.
TO accomplish THIS II is necessary
for the government To impose un-
.usuaf taxation upon the citizens ana
in order that this taxation may be
borne with the least detrimental con-
sequences. II is imperative that nor
imaf rusrness cordftions should not be
disturbed. Therefore, it is OF vital
Importance that the people OF rnt'
country should avoid all hysterical
disturbances. retain their composure
anu proceed Win tnH tpnulCi Ga
business in such manner as to cause
late exactly as II does during peaceful
periods.
1T is the circulation OF money
which affords the comforts that we
enjoy and supplies the necessities OF
life. IF this circulation be Empeded
then these comforts and necessities
are curtailed in a commensurate de-
gree. If it were to become stagnan'
long enough there would be no trans
portatlon. heating or lighting facili-
ties. and food and clothing would be
unavailab bic
IF the usual circulation be con-
tinued. then. while the comforts to
which we are accustomed will still
be enjoyed and all necessities pro
vided. the taxes imposed by the gov
eminent can be paid without OBJ
noxious consequences To- business and
the war prosecuted with the least en-
barraSsment 10 all.
Therefore it is incumbent upon
every one 70 avoid perturbation and
to proceed In the conduct OF their
business as they have done heretofore
Indeed. there is every reason VIII,
business conditions should be better
than ever. because MOI only the
United States but the allies OF this
country Will expend fabulous sums OF
money here, and this should result in
a tremendous stimulation of business
generally.
Much has been uttered on the sub
tect of economy. and II is a most un-
fortunate expression TO have employed
for the reason that il is susceptih le
of a mistaken Interpretation. Elk
travagance should be avoided. OF
course. but it would be better during
the continuance of the war to be eX-
stravagant than to- be unwisely eco
nomical.
The elimination of waste is wha,
should be advocated and enforced. hu,
the people should buy as usual, dress
as usual, live as usual, and Nor ma Ike
any sudden or radical change in their
business or other habits. Especially
should this be impressed upon women
who. very naturally. will not sc
readily understand the necessity for
avoiding business suppression"

STYLES TO BE PRACTICAL

Although the style trend for next
fall in women's suits has not yet set
tied down to one distinct design, the
sentiment Is growing among manu-
facturers that TO be successful the
fashions devised flor the new season
must be along most practical lines.
the manufacturers believe that if such
lines are followed they will be decid-
eddy in keeping with the spirit of the
times. Plain tailor made effects. with
some new and distinctive note In
their general treatment, are expected
TO be the result of the trades plan
ming. 1t seems quite certain that the
manufacturers will not be as lavish
were last year.

COME COOKING UTENSILS

Casserqles are steadily increasing
In sales because housekeepers sand
cooks have found out that cooking
by them is a most wholesome and
appetizing as we'll as an economical
method. Conversely. the sale OF chat
ing dishes is declining, as they are
coming to be regarded much as a fad
rather than sensible method of pre-
pairing food. =" The Old fashioned eof-
fee boilers are also going out of use
while on the other hand. percola tors
grow steadily in faref as an easy and
reliable way to make good coffee.
Thermos bottles have become part
OF the house furnishing equipment of
every household, as their efficient
method of keeping hot things hot
an cold things cold Is being widely
recognized. Housekeepers also are
using dish drainers much more ex-
tensively as an appreciable allevia-
ton in the dreary work OF washing
and wiping dishes. In kitchen sinks
it has been found that the cast iron
sink, especially when properly enam-
eled, resists rust much longer than
