When manufacturers began casting
new models in separate skirts, they ex-
perimented with several varieties of
silks. Soft Satins, tricolet and silk
poplin were among them. Probably
the last, the old, familiar silk pOplin,
In weaves showing satin stripes and
cross bars, is destined to as much
success as any other. We can wear
it with clear conscience-it is not
among the things needed for the army
and at the rate that wool is going
we will have to look to silk to reduce
the high cost Of dressing.
Nearly all skirts are moderate in
width and gathered or shirred to the
waist. In the striped silks the stripes
are old style made so that they run
around the figure, horizontally, or are
vertical. In girdles, made Of the same
silk as the skirt, one may choose be-
tween wide or narrow ones and have
hem with or without sash ends. Very
wide, crushed girdles have many adj
mirerS and many skirts have wide
pockets-especially among the fancy
plaids and wide striped models in
sport skirts.
There are some lovely skirts in soft
black satin. Some Of them are made
with long, loose side panels ending in
wide black silk fringe at the bottom.
Others have panels at the back and
front finished with wide fringe, with
three-tier tunics at the side that make

Mule Meat.

"If the Germans capture any Ameri-
can mules" says the Birmingham Age
Herald, "they may be tempted to try
mule steak" Perhaps so, but we trust
none Of our friends over there will
ever be called upon to resort to any
such expedient. We are proud Of our
mules, the great work they have done
and are doing over here and over there
for victory. So appreciative are we of
the mules services that we are ready
to stand hats off when he attempts to
bray the "Star-Spangled. Banner;" but
we can never, no never recommend his
steak even to the despised Boche as
anything approaching gastronomic
dainty.-Nashville Banner.

Golf Shocks Handkerchief STYLE.

Golf Smocks "Handkerchief" Style.
The newest and neatest golf blouses
or smocks, as they are called-are
finished in handkerchief style; that is,
with hemstitched hens. Pointed,
turned back cuffs and deep square col
lar have rather deep hens, the hem
stitching crossing at the corners.
Pointed pocket flaps have similar
hens and hemstitching. The belt is
hemstitched along both edges, the bot
tom of the smock is hemstitched, and
for good measure, three lines of hem
stitching, crossing each other at the
corners, outline a bolero device on
either side of the front, above the belt.

In the issue of the Central Division
Bulletin of the American Red Cross OF
August % the following article ap-
pears:
Women Of Cheerful Disposition for
Hospital Hut Service Abroad.
Several hundred American women,
whose dispositions are of the cheerful
variety, are wanted for work in the
Red Cross hospital huts in France.
The cheerful disposition" proposition
is an essential requisite, for the reason
that their duty will be to spread cheer
among the boys who are convalescing
after wounds received on the battle
field or from attacks Of illness.
The bureau Of personnel of the
American Red Cross already has en-
rolled $50 of these workers, while 443
is the number estimated as necessary
to be supplied before the first of Jan
uary, 1919. The Red Cross commits
sioner to France, in a cablegram call
ing for these hospital hut workers,
specifying some Of the qualifications
required, suggested that the women
chosen should be those who are keen
on entertainment. Lots Of music, read
ing aloud, and all that sort of thing
help to make the recovery Of wounded
and sick soldier boys much quicker
than otherwise would be the case.
Everything that keeps up spirits and
turns thoughts in channel that pre-
vents one Of the bitterest of all all
-homesickness-is godsend.
The American Red Cross intends
that there shall be no lack Of enter
tainment and good cheer lover there"
and it is particularly desired therefore
that the call for hospital hut workers
be complied with according to sched-
ule. Those who volunteer for this
service will be expected to remain
abroad for at least a year.
1t is desirable that applicants be
able to pay their own expenses, but in
cases of exceptional qualifications the
Red Cross will pay living expenses in
France. Transportation to and from
France will be furnished by the Red
Cross.
There should be no mistaken notion

Interest In PIaids.

, Perhaps it is through the influence
of the Scotch kilties, who have ap-
can cities to remind us that the kins-
men of Bruce and Wallace are among
our allies, that we have revived our
interest in plaids. Perhaps it is just
because bright colors are in vogue as
a counteractive against the grimness
of war, or perhaps it is just time that
plaids returned to vogue-they do
periodically, do they not? At any rate,
some of the most interesting of the
new separate skirts are made from
Scotch plaid and some of these skirts
are made in pleated designs to carry
out the idea of the highlander.

them with or without sash ends. Very
soft girdles are chosen for these skirts.
The model pictured is made of dark
gray silk poplin, with satin stripes
that run horizontally. The odd pointed
pockets are made separately and are
suspended from the crushed girdle in
which the stripes run vertically, as
they do in the pockets. In plaid ma
terials there is often short, plain
yoke, cut on the bias, that fits smooth
ly about the hips, and the skirt is
shirred to this. A sash may be added
finished at the left side with loop
and pointed end Of the silk.

WOULD AMEND LORDS PRAYER
Seemingly Nothing Was Sacred From
Revising Mind of This United
States Senator.

A well-known senator annoys his
colleagues sometimes because in his
desire to make legislation thoroughly
good he insists on many amendments.
During discussion in committee re-
Gently, this senator, whose name is not
Brown, insisted on amending and
amending, practically without end.
Finally, somewhat exasperated,
colleague said to him, "Brown, I be-
lieve if the Lords prayer were being
discussed here, you would want to
amend it."
Brown replied:
eyes, I would. I would change the
clause Lead us not into temptation
to read Give us strength to resist

Inventions.

A craze for invention is sweeping
the country. Many a man who has
never been able to invent an excuse to
hand the wife for getting home late
Is now accomplishing wonderful
things. Already 100000 appliances
for the destruction of U-boats have
reached the patent Office. One man
has evolved brick boat, built entire

that this hospital hut service is easy
work, for 1t surely is not. Emergen-
cies may arise which will make 1t
necessary to call upon the workers for
duties not on the program; for 1t is
now an established rule Of the Red
Cross that all those accepting service
abroad must hold themselves in readi-
ness to accept any duty which Is as
signed to them. Only those who have
strong constitutions, and do not tire
easily-and who still possess that
never-to-be-forgotten cheerful dispo-
sition"-are fitted for enrolment In
the hospital hut service. Application
should be made to the Bureau of Per-
sonnet, Central Division, $50 North

Wide Plaid Ribbons.

Wide plaid ribbons are shown In the
shops. They are especially effective
for trimming big wide-brimmed straw
hats for country or beach wear. The
ribbon is simply held loosely around
the crown of the hat and tied in big
loose bow at the edge, or near the
edge, of the brim. This low arrange
ment of the bow on the hat brim is
good. .

From the present outlook prospects
are good for a full average crop in this

attention is paid to the raising of

what there is we learn is very good.
AS this is a strictly stock country, the
principal attention is paid to fodder
crops. The keeping of sheep is becom-
ing quite popular within the last two
years and has proved itself very profit
able. Many thousand pounds of wool
have been shipped from the farmers

PREFER GRAVEL FOR ~
.,<.. !. STREET SURFACE

What's the use of scrapping or even
talking about tarvia any more in Fer
gus Falls? Tarvia's reputation here
is busted, and whether or not it might
or could be made to produce better re-
suits, the people have decided against
it, and will have no more of it, if they
can help, Once again, in still,
small voice, we, beg to point out that
gravel, of the kind that Fergus Falls
is full of, makes a splendid street sur
face, fairly durable, and, with proper
care, better than anything that cd n be
got short of prohibitive prices. Road
building authorities agree that gravel
is the one material that rivals. ,maca-
dam. Why not stick to gravel and take
care of it? Taking care of gravel does
not mean shoveling it from excavations
into wagon boxes, dumping the loads
on the streets, spreading it a bit, rak-
ing out some Of the cobblestdnes, and
then trusting the completed job to ma
ture and automobiles for the ensuing
ten years. That has been our practice
in the past. The right way is to sift
the gravel, spread it with care and in
telligence, roll and sprinkle until the
crowned street is well. nigh perfect,
and then methodically patch and roll,
as holes and washouts appear repeat
ing the entire surface application every
few years, as the need appears. All
this does not cost half as much as
street oils, nor a quarter Of what paw

Your Local Paner.

Your local paper, the paper published
in your home community, is one of the
best things you have. It is one of the
strongest ties that bind you to the
others in your particular corner of the
world Through it you are kept in
touch with that corners round of af-
fairs, and through it you share the joys
OF others and help them bear their bur-
dens. 1t is what the farmer would
CALI the evener on which all pulling
together for the progress of the COM
munity.
You ought not therefore, to look on it
as something to be read and then cast
aside. You ought to regard it, rather,
as an agency for good to which you
can give strength by cooperation A
local paper is not private institution;
it is public utility, and its usefulness
is increased as it is supported by the
community - by you This means
that you must contribute to it
giving it news and backing the ed
itor in the good things he tries
to promote. If such cooperation
were given every good paper by
every good citizen in his community,
the editor could accomplish vastly
more than he does. When you are
disposed to grumble at the failure of
the editor to get results, then ask your
self whether you have given him your
share Of support. ~ r. =.
This applies with double force to the
teacher. The teacher who gets any
where is the one who sees his school
in it's relation toathe community, who
spares no pains to interest the commun-
ity in the work Of his school or his part
of the school. To accomplish this end
the, teacher should be in closest touch
with his local paper, keeping the public
informed through it as to the work Of
his school or his department. He
should have no fear Of lack of cooper
alton on the part of the editor. The
editor Is keen for school news, and you
as teacher are in the position to see
that he gets it, and through the pub
fishing Of the news Of your school you
keep awake the interest of the COM
munity in the school. III w
Look upon the local paper, therefore
as your coadjutor. It will aid your
school, lifting It to a greater efficiency.
It VIII aid you, lifting you to higher
rounds Of the educational ladder.
