SAVE MONEY FOR FARMERS
Direct Testimony Showing That the
WoodpeckeP Should Be Protected
by All AgrIculturIsts.

We are assured on high authority
that II birds were as numerous today
as they were 60 years ago 1t would
mean a saving Of many million dollars
to American farmers. The slaughter
OF migratory birds Is surely followed
by the Increase Of destructive insects
Among the farmers bird friends are
the wo6dpeckers, especially the red,
headed members Of the species.
In proof there is cited the following
instance: A pair Of them nested in a
dead cottonwood tree near an orchard.
One day the observer watched them
through pair Of glasses. The young
birds were about half grown. The
parents made 90 trips In one hour.
each time with worm. 1t Is safe to
say that they saved 80 apples In that
hour-a box worth, say 81. If the
birds worked ten hours a day, they
were worth $40 to the owner Of that
orchard, or, In the three weeks the
birds were in the nest 500. 1t is plain,
then, that no farmer can afford to XIII

The problems of the makers of cor
sets are many and difficult but the cor
sets of today are marvels of skillful
create corset styles must understand
thoroughly the various types of figures
and they must undertake to make each
one of them shapely without the sac
rlfice of comfort. This is not at all
easy; for the too-slender woman must
be given pretty curves and the fat
woman must have hers smoothed out.
Besides, women demand corsets that
are light in weight and have few bones
or steels. Fashion DEGREES that wom-
en- shall be so carefully corseted that
they look uncorseted when they are
dressed. The contour of the figure
must conform to beautiful lines.
The new corsets are made of firm
but very flexible materials and with
the fewest possible number of bones.
They are nearly all very low In the
bust and give perfect freedom to the
diaphragm. There are equally good
models In front and in back-laced
styles so that each woman must deter
mine for herself which is best suited
to her figure.
The corset Is the foundation of sue
cessful dressing and should be fitted
with the greatest care. We have all
met women who achieve the best style
In the simplest frocks and suits. 1t is
all a matter Of beautifully balanced
lines and one must begin at the begin
ming to possess them, and the begin
ming Is the corset that fits and shapes
the figure. All good dressmakers I'M
derstand this.
A front-aced and a back-laced cor
set are shown here. At tEe left the
scrset designed for u slender figure IL
