Hats reached the limit of plainness
last fall after travelling in the direc.
ton of scant trimming for several sea-
sons. The first hats of spring-those
prepared for sojourns at Southern re-
sorts-ventured tentatively to present
a few blossoms that fiattened them
selves against crowns or nestled on
brims In the most retiring manner
Ribbons and certain feathers were
used with more assurance but no one
predicted or seemed to foresee the
coming of abundant trimmings and
variety Of them.
AS happens In millinery, all at once
we woke up to the fact that there were
lot Of flowers and fruits, feathers
and ribbons on hats that made their
appearance in February as the van
guard Of summer millinery. 1t is re-
ported that Paris sponsored this cheer

undaunted confidence In the satisfac-
tory issue of the war and her courage
and fortitude In the face of it.

More Beans. Peas. Peanuts.

As important features of its supple
mentary program for feeding the ma
ton, its armies, and the allies, the
United States department of agricul-
ture recommends that great attention
be paid to the production of beans,
peas and peanuts. On there subjects
the program states:
"The production Of beans and peas
should be increased in regions to
which they are adapted, because OF
their high food value, keeping quail
ties, and availability for domestic or
export trade.
"Soy beans and peanuts should be
increased In order to supplement beans
and peas as human food, as source
of much-needed oil, and as animal
feeds.
"The production of beans last year
in the six leading states increased
from 10715,000 bushels to 1921 ,NO
bushels, and peanuts from 35,324,5oO
bushels to 60,222,000 bushels. But
these increases proved to be greatly
needed, and there Is every indication
that large increases will be readily ah-
sorbed In 1918.
"The peanut Is especially valuable
because of the oil 1t contains, for
which the need Is great. In the South,
especially, soy beans and peanut meal
are proving very satisfactory as pav-
tlal substitutes for wheat. Both soy
beans and peanuts are of great value
as forage crops"

bon around the crown. The hat at
the bottom of the group is entirely
covered with crepe georgette and its
brim is bound with velvet. A wreath
of fanciful apple foliage and small
satin apples In warm, dark colors, lies
about the crown, and small bunch OF
little grapes finds resting place on

Some 1918 Garden Needs.

Market gardens near large CONSUME
ing centers should be increased so as
to meet, as nearly as possible, the
needs of the community, and In order
to obviate the necessity of transport
ing such products from distant points.
The planting of home gardens, espe
clally for family needs and for pre-
serving food for future use, again
should be emphasized.
The commercial production of per-
ishables generally should be increased
above normal wherever II Is reasona
bly, cleur that transportation and mar.
keting facilities will be available.

CUFF PINS ARE PERMISSIBLE
Buttons Are Not In High Favor for
Helping to Keep the Frocks
Neat at the Wrists.

Now that long sleeves are in fash
ion the fastidiously dressed woman
finds 1t necessary to take pains to keep
the sleeve of her frocks neat at the
wrists. In light frocks this shows
the soil more quickly than any other
part. With the ceming fashion for
separate cuffs of washable material,
the problem really solves itself so far
as dark froeks are concerned, says
fashion writer. With wash fr0ck, Of
course, the only thing to do 1t to con-
sign the whole frock to the tub when
the cuffs look soiled or mussed up, I'M
less they can be washed and pressed
without disturbing the rest Of the
frock.
When separate cuffs are worn with n
dark frock, pins to keep them In place
nre quite permissible. Sometimes cuffs
are made with buttons that insure their
neat appearance. But more often eth
err pins or basting is depended on to
keep them in place. All sorts Of little

MAKE BATTLE ON
FOOD PARASITES
Billions of Dollars Damage to
Crops Has Been Prevented.
SPECIALISTS URGE BIG WAR
Assistance to Be Given Farmers to Re-
duee Injury Caused by Insects, Dis
eases, Mice, Rats, Squirrels
and Other Rodents.

Every effort should be made to pre-
vent losses in production, storage, and
transportation of food In these days
when the conservation Of every prod
uct contributing to our food supply
means so much, states the United
States department of agriculture in its
1918 campaign just announced.
Billions of dollars are lost every
year, says the statement, from such
preventable causes as insects, plant
and animal diseases, carelessness In
breeding, predatory animals, rats,
mice, ground squirrels and other ro-
dents. These losses are being held
in check by present agencies and can
be further greatly reduced or pre-
vented at q cost which is insignificant
when compared with the amount of
damage done. Methods of controlling
many of these harmful factors are now
we'll established and should be more
widely adopted. large loss on the
farms of the United States results
lTOlH Tie lIlpiOpci tdiV VI MANU- %
and Its careless and ineffective use.
In these times of scarcity of fertillz-
Ing materials more attention than ever
should be paid to the conserving of
plant food from this source.
Animal Diseases and Parasites.
1t has been estimated that diseases
of animals, such as hog cholera, tuber-
cuiosis. contagious abortion, dourine,
Texas or tick fever, and others. cause
annual losses aggregatlng many mill
lions. Many of these diseases, to a
still greater extent, can be prevented
or their ravages reduced considerably.
The department has greatly extended
It's facilities for dealing with these
matters and will assist farmers In
every feasible way.
The annual lasses from Insects and
plant diseases are enormous. 1t has
been conservatively estimated that
smuts of wheat alone cause losses ag-
gregating S60,000000 annually. The
staff of specialists In the department
Of agriculture, as well as the STATS
In the state institutions has been in
creased, and, In cooperation with the
forces In the various states, they will
b. able to render more effective as
sistance to farmers during the coming
season thHn ever before.

Predatory Animals and Rodents.

The losses from animals Injurious t,
agriculture and to animal husbandrJ
are enormous. Native rodents cause
losses of grain forage and other agrt
cultural products estimated at more
than $150,000,000. House rats and
mice levy a toll Of $200,000,000 upon
the nations food supply. On the
western cattle ranges predatory ami
mails alone cause losses of live stock
amounting to $20,000,000 to $30,000,000
annually. Methods Of eradication have
been developed, especially in the case
of rodents, which will make 1t possible
to reduce the losses at a relatively
small expense. The department will
vigorously prosecute It's activities in
this field and win assist farmers In
every feasible way In cooperation
with the extension forces Of the states,
to control or eliminate these pests.

Ships are needed to win the war, ships
are needed to carry succor and sus-
tenance to our armies over seas. We
must build these ships with frantic
haste unless we are to acknowledge
the defeat of all our hopes. The pres
ident Is calling on the artisans of
America to offer themselves for serv-
ice In the ship yards where vessels IN
great numbers are building. Two hum
dred and fifty thousand industrial sol
diers are needed at the present mo-
ment In order to carry the plans OF
the Emergency Shipping corporation
to fruition. Good wages and steady
employment are offered to carpenters,
shipwrights and artisans of almost
every trade. The enlistment of these
men Is a matter of vital Importance
t. the American Red Cross and to all
Americans. Therefore, we are asking
the assistance of chapters In spread
ing the knowledge of our country's
needs. Men available and fitted for
this work should offer themselves at
once at the state headquarters Of the
national council Of defense or COM
municate direct with Edwan, ~ Hur.

corporation, Washington, n. G. The

The Red Cross hopes to accumulate
O reserve supply of comfort kits for
the soldiers and sailors who will fol-
low those already somewhere In
France" or on the seas. Some sys-
tematic and devoted women are CIV
ing all their spare time to making
these comfort kits, receiving the ma
teriafs from the Red Cross chapters,
and doing the work at home. One
Chicago lady has turned In 500 of
them and this in addition to other Red
Cross activities, and club work. AS
she attends to her own housekeeping,
she has not great deal of leisure,
and finds 1t best to specialize In kits
so she has become an expert in MAX
ing them.

les In the ship building arm of the
service. Perhaps some Of our woman
readers can be instrumental In call

Saturday nights athletic entertain ment staged by the Kennel Club at Eagle Hall will be probably the last offering of its kind presented to the Nome public this winter. The com mitee have worked hard in getting to- gether the various teams. They have not received the support which the ex- cellent program justifles. The bas- kethali games between the All Nome aggregations are top-notchers of their kind. Either of these teams could hold their own with the majority of first class teams on the outside. To- It,orrow nights game--which will de- cide the championship-should not be missed.
 The Nome public should unqrestioD- ably give their undivided support to events of this nature. They help materially to build up and strengthen all who take part in them and should certainly be we'll patronized. Tickets for the final entertainment are on sale at I.omen's Drug Store.
