PLAN NOW FOR NEXT
YEARS SUGAR CROP

We are beginning to feel the sugar
shortage, and we will feel a greater
shortage before the 1919 sugar crop
comes in, according totProf. Kczcr, Of
the Colorado Agricultural College.
"Now is the time to commence 10
plan for the 1919 planting. The gov
ernment has shown its willingness to
protect the supply price. The grower
should make his plans now 10 help
protect the supply by planting fair
acreage Of good sugar beet lands. The
1919 crop should he increased Care
should be taken that this increase
comes on lands adapted for sugar
production. The best sugar beet lands
should be planted. Lands not cap
able in ordinary seasons of producing
sugar crop should be planted to
wheat.

Graceful and Youthful Lines.

And such a glorious display the
Paris couturiers are showing! Every
one may be easily pleased with the
coming styles, for indeed there are
styles for every type. No one need
be distastefully dressed. These thot-
full designers have shown prudence
and careful reflection for all their
winter models
A Variety of Sleeves.
With elaborate simplicity of the
dresses, suits and coats still the most
sought after feature, some little touch
is necessary to give the desired dis
tinction to each individual garment.
So the sleeve or the panel of the
waistline must be given some unusual
role to play, and in spite of the SINH
larity of line, every design is different,
so different from another which is so
much like it. The long bell sleeve is
one of the most favored of the new
offerings. Graceful in itself, it lends
d dignifed charm to the severely plain
and otherwise ordinary costume.
Sometimes there are tiny bias ruffles
at the edge, and this style we leave
for the young coquette who wears it
so well and looks at her very best in
a dress that has just such sleeve.
The long, tight dart-fitted sleeve is
still the matron's and older woman's
delight, for it carries with it a GER
tain smartness which is the aspira-
ton of the fair sex.
Just a tunic! But the hand of the
artist shapes it into subtle some
thing which is ours to gaze on-not to
question. A heavy black satin boasts
OF one which is draped on either side
and then with all the dexterity of the

Lo! we have a girdle and thereupon

And | assure you it is the secret of
the designer not to be penetrated, this
capricious something which we must
term a tunic. The majority of the
tunics, when undraped are quite
jong, some even extend to the hem Of
the skirt. The one illustrated here is
of the panel variety and is in one piece
from the shoulder to the hem. 1t is
developed in satin and serge.
Appreciation of the Separate Blouse.
At last women have found place
for the much neglected sepcratc
blouse. Probably it is the Georgettc
that facinates. For since this fabric
has been used the supply of blouscs
runs far below the demand. How al

very popular for suit or dress wear.
One of the shops is showing a charm
ing little model in this style. The
blouse itself is beige with the front
and back overpieces of violet. By
Sitting the overpiece in front so that
it hangs in two points over the skirt
the blouse is instantly made different.
A Word About Skirts.
1t is necessary, when speaking of
separate blouses, to say word about
skirts. There is not of course the
wide selection that there is in the
blouses to chose from, but still each
retains some characteristic which sets
it apart from all others. Some very
good-looking sport skirts are of plaid
wooden material and dressier models
are seen in chiffon velvet. The illus
tration shows a dignifed blouse with
an equally attractive skirt in combi
nation of sports or street wear. The
belt and novely pockets are worthy of
note.

There is one consolation that al
ways come with the presentation of
winter styles in summer weather.
Just think of the deliciously cold tenn
perature in store. That is relief,
isn't it? 1t stimulates our magma
ton sufficiently to actually visualize
ourselves in these clothes, and then
we feel the atmosphere that comes
with them. So you see winter open
ings in the heat of summer are really
worth while.

Commander Kauf m a n
Boosted by Chicagoans for
National Circuit Chief
BOSS OF GREAT LAKES

Out in Chicago, where numerous
baseball stories are hatched, and a
large percentage of them materialize.
critics of the national game think they
see the way to establish at the head
Of the National League man who, on
his record in athletics. would make the
ideal leader Of the old organization.
DIR. j. B. Kaufman. commander of
the Great Lakes Naval Training Sta
ton. is the man referred to and there is
rumor that serious efforts will be
made to induce Commander Kaufman to
accept the post that John K. Tenner re-
signed following friction with Ban John
son over the Scott-Perry case last Au-
gust and subsequent unpleasantness.
Point to His Record
Kaufman's supporters for the Job as
National League president point to the
excellent record he made with athletics
at the training station as proof of his
fitness to handle the position. Assign
ing somebody to lead the league is a job
that none seems qualified to carry
through, although almost as many have
been mentioned for the work asN there
are magnates.
In kaufnan's case, however, there
appears to be sufficient grounds for the
belief that he has a good chance of
getting the solid vote Of the interest ed
parties, and it looks now as though the
popular Great Lakes commander will
get lot Of unlooked-for support when
the league meets next month
In recounting in part the work in
athletics of Mr. Kaufman one Chicago
paper has the following to sag:
