JAPAN EAGER TO

JAPAN has been swift to profit BY.

ducing and selling to America all the
things for which she has for osn-
turtles been famed. One OF the com-
modities that she has been especially
quick in sending US is a supply OF fans
Of various sorts. u
Real Japanese fans and Chinese fans,
too, are charming. and really much
more attractive, than some Of the later
ones that she has 80 oIeverly sent az.
These new ones open in regular fan
shape. and are printed or painted with
scenes supposedly depicting western
manners and customs. No more .wis>
taria and chrysanthemums, no more
almond-eyed maidens In soft kimonos.
No; these new fans show supposedly
American interiors and equally sun.

shows two women sitting by q table

shoes are little worn, and no doubt
the fact that lace shoes are. as gam

good deal to do with this Tho fact
that button shoes use UP quite a Mt
tie bit more leather than lace shoes
is the big reason behind their disan-
pearance from fashion. say those who
know. 1t does seem very little
leather to save. doesn't Il? But then

Since the height of shoes is to be

kind of southern dialect which the
north expected. and Mr.. Belasco won
out, as usual. To the southerners in
the audience Miss Walkers dialect
was no less ludicrous than 1t was to
Mr.. Belasco was right. The north has
a certain idea Of how the south should
talk, and to make an effect one must
carry out the north's preconceived
idea.
There is temptation right here to
dip into a further discussion of this
subject In the remarkable dialect .sct
we are getting from the American
units on the western front. via the
war correspondents and the short,

make him talk then he is justifying
every tradition in France as to how
our educated people talk.

our expert artillery captains. Are we
actually living up to Frances opinion
spondents trying to be theatrical, like
Mr.. Belasco?
*
We expect six more weeks of warm
weather, and therefore we have no
absorbing interest in new October
clothes. We want to know what is to
be worn, and we are most interested
in what we hear is being shown in
Paris. but at this moment we are
struggling with the proposition of en-
livening our wardrobe in such man.

As the nation has got into the
habit OF living in the country until

tendency to keep ones August clothes

calls women into town nearly every
day, and they may not continue to
stay in the country as long as Novem-

wearing their summer costumery as
long as the climate and convention
permit.
And right here comes in the excel
Int good taste of the present mid
summer costumes. Their very de-
parture from the sweater and the
separate white skirt permits them to
serve at other seasons.
This Is the stringent motto that
must run the warp and wOof of our
lives now: to buy that. which can be
worn on as many days. at as many
occasions as economy dictates. In
short, we have accepted the European
way OF dressing for hot weather. 1t

longer than any other kind of summer
costumery invented in the whirligig
Of clothes. And evidently it is.not yet
completely dead, as witness the snap
shots that were looked over by the
critical observer Of fashions. But it
belongs to a day that Is done. 1t was
strangled before the war, and now
the war has strangled the desire for
1t. A millionaire would not indulge in
II today without prickings Of con-
science.
Women have been struggling along
as best they might in summer cos
tumery since the day Of doom, that
fell on us in August. 1914. They did
not realize. in the beginning,, that this
country would soon find itself up
against a scarcity of labor and ma
terial, but as each season presented
itself there came with 1t a terrifying
glimpse of the shadow of coming
events.
X y
We couldn't buy this. and we
couldn't buy that. Five-cent cottons
were to be had for s5 cents. and no
less Satin went UP to IS yard. Every
other material rose on the tide OF
scarcity that was overwhelming the
industries of this continent. Even last
summer. when we were just beginning
to get ready to go into France, there
was no such drastic need for economy
of material as now.
1t was the expense of cotton that
terrified the economical woman. The
designers and shopkeepers urged the
use Of these various weaves as sub
stitute for linen, which couldn't bc
got.
Struck by the beauty of the cheap
cotton fabrics of the southern mills, /
made a special propaganda for calico
three years ago, basing 1t on the
eheapness and the fact that Paul
Poiret, who is a genuine artist In
color, had praised this fabric as the
American product of highest merit.
Two years ago / started the subject
again, and almost Immediately, simply
through scarcity of labor end other
factors In industry. the calico PROPOSE

signs in the southern mills. When
calico In good colOrs could be bought
its price was far beyond the price that
had been.

the latter. Percale is not calico, as
any southerner can tell you. However,
the rest OF America thought Ii that
and accepted 1t as such.

perience OF Charlotte Walker in The

Then, to make up the draft on its

Farm Bureau Membership
Campaign December l to z

Coincident with Conservation Week
Tor World Relief which the food adj
Alnistration has. set aside for the per-
1od between December 1 to Z, Min
nesota will observe Farm Bureau
Membership Week in Minnesota. Back
ct this latter movement is A. d.
wilson, who, not only is federal food
administrator for Minnesota, but di-
rector of Agricultural Extension in
The state.
Before the war, the United States
Skipped overseas 100000 tons of
foodstuffs. This year with the ex-
Pectation of the wars lasting another
eight months we had agreed to send
l7,5O0,O00 tons. Now that the war
IS past and many additional millions
Of people are liberated and may be
reached with food it is estimated that
at least 100000 tons must be sent.
twenty million tons of food is large
amount. America has met it's past
war food emergencies out of the
voluntary saving of it's people. There
y no doubt in the minds of those in
authority that the people will meet
this new demand. Even with the put
ting forth the best of our efforts it is
feared that at least 40,000,000 people
in North Russia cannot be reached be-
fore starvation overtakes them. Dur
nag Conservation Week the new les
sons in conservation, that the world
sufferers may be fed, will be brought
- the people.
"The war is over" says Mr.. Wilson
-1but the problems of the farm and
farm home continue. In Europe the
livestock has been depleted, likewise
tAe soil and machinery. Not only is
It profitable, but helping the sufferers
overseas is the only humane thing
for us to do.
There are now some $4,000 mem
hers of Farm Bureaus in the State.
We feel that there should be at least
100 600 members. When the war be-
gan, the County Farm Bureau, as an
nstitution, already had been inagurat-
ed but increased production and con-
servation made necessary the enlarge
naent of the movement and United
States authorities made possible the
organization of a bureau for every
county in the last year. AS result
Of this years experience, and that
which had preceded it is felt that the
County Farm Bureau idea is worth
carrying on. Until this time, as an
organization, the Bureau has consist
ed only of men. Now it seems desir-
able to secure the cooperation of the
women and young people, as well, and
the new County Farm Bureau is to
represent all the institutions of the
farm and home. 1t is fostered and
supported by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture and the agri-
cultural colleges of the different
states.
GAS the farmers of the various
states and the other taxpayers for
years have supported this great de-
partment in Washington and the state
agricultural colleges and experiment
stations, so these institutions for
years have worked on the problems
which connect the farm and farm life.
During all the years that farming has
been conducted, a great deal of prac-
teal and useful information has been
developed by agricultural institutions
