superseded. There is no sign of this
in the Paris exhibitions, but here and
there women are asking that their
clothes be more fitted to the figure,
wen when they are cut in n straight
line. We grow Simmer, as Mr.. Hoover
asks us to pull in u belts tighter.
We appear to be ~attenuated, even
though we may be we'll n%ourished. We
do not propose to hide this slimness
under a bushel Of material, and it may
be that history will repeat itself from
the days Of the directoire, when it
was smart and patriotic to appear cut
to the bone.
At this hour the frock that you will
buy is cut in one piece. 1t may have
q draped skirt, a straight skirt, or a
tunic skirt. Only the extremists will
wear this startling new American pull
back skirt, but it is the herald of
things to come.
One thing is quite true: The care
less, bunglesome line which was
brought about through the fashion for
the chemise frock will be eliminated
this season. The medievals cut their
cloth to the lines Of their figures, and
there is almost a disposition toward
the old princess lines in certain of the
frOcks made by great houses.
The French gowns show a s%traighter
line than do the American ones, but
they are not bunglesome at the waist
because they are made of thin material
which clings to the figure; or, in such
materials as velvet, velOurs and serge,
there is a clever and complex adjust
ment of panels under the arms that
Eolds in whatever fullness would be
awkward.

st. Valentines Day Party.

February conjures up visions OF
crimson hearts, bows and arrows ana
gay little pink Cupids that of course
mean St. Valentines day. This yeal
the day will be celebrated as usual
or. shall we say, in the 1918 method
which means that patriotism will be
the dominant note resounded in socia
affairs. The firemen of Ell Centre
are making elaborate plans for st.
Valentine ball. 1t will no doubt be a
brilliant social affair. At the same
time, the real purpose in having the
ball is a patriotic one. The boys have
agreed to put an ambulance on the
front. the cost Of which will be 81 ,000.
Through the sale of tickets for the
ball they expect to raise the major
part of this amount. One very unique
way the ball is being advertised Is
through local baker. An invitation
will be enclosed with each loaf Of the
5000 loaves of bread sent out daily by
this bakery. The tickets are $500
each. Buy a ticket to help with the
ambulance fund At the same time
you will be contributing to your own
happiness by attending the firemen'
ball February IA.

LIVESTOCK DEAL
At KANSAS CITY
Review of the Past Weeks Trade, as
Given by the Kansas City Stock
yards Company-Unusually Large
Movement Into the Yards From
All Directions.

Kansas City, Feb. 2.-Though the
weather conditions were adverse to
ia large movement of livestock IN all
directions, receipts at Kansas City
were less affected than elsewhere and
trade showed considerable activity.
Shippingf rom the Mississippi river
eastward was badly demoralized and
the order buying trade was crippled
at all markets, throwing buying al
most ntirely into the hands of local
killers. The supply was we'll cared
for and a fairly good clearance was
reported. Fat streets were quoted up
25 to 80 cents early in the week, but
on Friday some of the advance was
lost. Some prime heavy steers sold
at S1.35 to $3.50 and yearlings as
high at $500. All new high record
prices for the reason Of the year.
One bunch of 520 steers, grain fed in
Kansas seventy days, weighing 1881
pounds. brought 512.15 hundred
pounds. total of 81 400 for the lot
Oregon steers sold at Sl0.50 to S1L.G5,
Idaho steers S1O.5O to 1929, and
Colorado steers $1O.55 to $500. Most
Of the Kansas-fed steers sold at Sl1.25
to $1225.
The movement from the far West
is increasing and prices are attractive
Kansas is also expected to contribute
litegal supplies for some time. AS
soon as the rail situation improves
Eastern outlet will increase greatly,
and many orders are expected here.
Butcher cattle remain in active de-
mand at Is to . cents higher prices.
Killers are anxious for choice fat
cows and heifers. The top price for
cows was $11, heife,s $12.15, steers
and heifers mixed $12.75, bulls S1O.25
and veal calves $l4.
Stocker and feeder trade. though
limited, cared for all the offerings t
small price changes. Larger market
demand is expected with improved
weather conditions. This month will
probably witness the advance spring
buying for grass.
Hog prices rose 20 to 25 cents and
maintained the advance, closing with
the top price $16.25 and bulk SIG.05
to S16.2Q. Though packers were about
the only buyers, the supply was cared
or without burdening demand Re.
ceipts this week were $4,000 The
quality Of the hogs is good. The av-
erage weight in January was 2l8
pounds. or 20 pounds heavier than
January last year and the heaviest
in any January for the past nine
years. Last months receipts were
10000 larger than in January, 1917,
end Kansas City was the only one of
the five western markets that showed
am substantial increase for the
month Order buyers have ben held
off the market to certain extent by
