Wells Are NOVEL
HUGE Chenille Dots May Be Scat
tered Over Surface.
VOGUE for Metal Embroidery Has Ex-
tended to This Accessory-Plain
Type Always in Good Taste.

Dots and dashes. 1t sounds like
telegraph code, but is in reality de-
scription of one of the seasons novelty
veilings.
Chenille dots-huge ones, sometimes
are used as borders on plain wells, or
are scattered all over their surface.
One sees black wells, embroidered in
white and there are white wells EN-
broidered in black. Combinations are
rather good this year. A pale tan veil
is embroidered in navy blue; one Of
light gray uses purple for the contrast
ing tone.
The vogue for metal thread embroi
derry has extended to wells. Black en-
broidered in gold, and dark blue en-
broidered in silver. are among the most
effective ones seen.
Fine hair-line scroll designs are
much used. These are In all sorts Of
patterns. One of them has series of
flying larks placed at intervals along
it's surface. Acorns and oak leaves
help to make another charming.
Veilings of chantilly lace are a bit
hard to get, one is told, but they are
eminently desirable where one wishes
not so much a face covering as hat
drapery.
And of course the plain veil. That
is never anything but good. Good
taste, good looks, good-sense! One
runs no risk of having a ludicrous dot
decorating the end of ones nose when
one thought it was well to the side. Or
of having all sorts of harmful inter-
ruptions between the field OF vision
and the eyes.
In fact, the eyes are especially CRATE
full for the plain veil. And it's not an
unwise thing to insure their gratitude.

Hay.

The following is an extract of letter
received from the office of the Food Ad-
ministration in Massachusetts,:
F. S. Adams, Bureau of Markets,
Augusta, Maine
Dear Sir: In answer to your letter in
relation to the hay situation in Massa-
chusetts. 1t is true that there is hay
shortage, or, at least there is no quantity
of hay on hand in Massachusetts,, and it
is almost impossible to procure hay from
Canada and New York, because of lack
of transportation. 1t ought to be good
time for Maine hay to come in, and if the
quality of hay that you refer to is desir-
able there should be no question about
placing it off hand l understand the
embargo which has been on hand for
some days is to be lifted tomorrow.
Yours very truly,
GEORGE H. ELLIS,
Executive Committee of Food
Produc ton.

LITTER FROM OVERSEE
BY FRED SAUNDERS

Another thing, they don't seem to
raise hogs here. I have not seen
over four or FIVE hogs since l came
over, and / have not seen a grain
of corn or corn growing since l
left the States. Their method of
farming differs from yours in many
ways. They do not plow over an
inch or two deep any time, and are
far behind America in farming i'm
plements. They use large draft
horses in farming, and for laborers
the women of France do more work
than half the men in Tennessee,
and they are fine looking, healthy
women, too.
The French are a kind people,
and they have received American
soldiers with open arms. One of
our difficulties, which will be over
come in time, is learning to speak
French. | have not seen house
or barn here built of wood. They
are most all made of stone or brick,
and those that are not of stone or
brick are made of straw and clay,
and they are most all covered with
slate or straw. | had a fine trip
coming over and we see something
new every day. | like France bet
ter than I expected and I'm getting
on fine; still, we have a duty to
perform, and my heart il with my
country.

Mcdaniel Bros. have some good
corn on clover land, contrast to
corn around it that has never had
clover. How much better this corn
would have been If it had been
cultivated shallow and laid by lev
ell to conserve the moisture.
A sixty mile inspection trip with
County Agent Ellis in Weakley
County revealed the fact that the
best prospects for corn was on land
that soy beans or clover had been
grown, plowed deep, cultivated
level and was still being worked
after each rain and at least every
ten days during dry weather.
The crops of Noah England look
promising. His 30 acres of pea
nuts are the best so far seen. Peas
and soy beans, both broadcast and
drilled, look fine, especially the
checked soy beans for seed. Hav-
ing five year lease, he feels it pays
to rotate and to have a variety OF
crops. He cultivates $50 acres.
The bulletin board has a fine
collection of farm products from
the following farmers: John Fl,
Arnold, Doss Hardin, Guy Ryan,
A. r. Devault. Noah Williams and
Will Noah Rushing. Be sure te
see the sample of Haberlant soy
beans from Weakley County, which
comes in about a month earlier
than the mammoth yellow.

you, for You have been friend to
me and always gave me good adj
vice. Of course you are farming,
and hope the crops prospects are
good there. The weather here is
much cooler for June than it is in
Tennessee. 1t reminds me rather
of March or April.
Arvin, the old country is simply
beautiful; pretty farms and the
land level like Tennessee River

NOTES OF THE FARM
BY WILBUR G. WILSON

Are you planting that fall aud
winter garden?
Feeding live stock means in-
creased soil fertility.
Build silo, fill it properly, and
feed load of cattle this year.
Don't let the weed crop make
seed. Clean out the fence rows
and let people get look at your
farm.
Plan to plant that wheat and TO-
have a cover crop on every acre
possible this winter. 1t will save
our land.
This is the month to plant Grim
son clover. Plant four acres, using
one bushel of seed. Try it in your
corn and cotton.
The Flatwoods church. section
has a number of fields with soy
beans and corn. They are trying
TO build up their land.
John Warrick's corn is still hale
aud hearty, like uncle John, and
if he can keep his hogs out fine
yield ought to be made.
A good breeding eve is a mighty
fine investment. Don't fail to re-
plenish your flock. Don't let any
OF the good brood ewes in your
community 60 to market.
A few more desirable brood sows
added to your drove will mean more
pounds of pork for Uncle Sam and
more dollars with which you can
buy War Savings Stamps.
Don't repeat last winters expe-
rience with trying to save little
pigs in freezing weather without
tight hog houses. 1t will pay to
take good care of the pigs.
The public spirited citizens
along she road to Eva have smooth
ed out many rough places. Keep
up this good work. It will save
repair bills, will make land more
valuable and will make travel more
pleasant.
I'm the Pembroke neighborhood
the following boys are trying to do
tiieir part in winning the war by
growing an acre of corn or by
raising pig: Guy Walker, Jim
Maiden, Bill Craig, Wallace White
and Clay Walker.

CHERRY WORDS
FROM COLORADO

rOrC morgan, ColO., tuIy. IO,
19l8.-Dear Editor, if you will
allow me space, l will try through
the columns of your most valuable
paper to tell you little about the
great West. On October Is, 1917,
we left dear old Benton County to
try onr fortune in Colorado. We
found ourselves among a lot of
strangers when we came, but soon
found plenty of warm friends.
This is a very beautiful and pictu-
esque country; level and fertile.
We are 72 miles northeast of Den
YER on the Burlington and Union
Pacific Railways. We are in sight
of the famous Rocky Mountains.
We can see the snow on Pixies
Peak the year round-a verybeau-
tiful sight. At times the noun
tains dosen't seem over 5 or 10 miles
away, but they are about Sc. We
intend to visit them this summer.
Tourist are plentiful now, coming
from every State in the Union.
This is fine farming and stock
raising country, the principle crops
being sugar beets and alfalfa. 1t
is nothing strange to see five and
six thousand sheep in one herd.
We live 3 miles from the sugar
factory. My husband is employed
with the Great Western SHgar Go.
Sugar beets are raised in Morgan
County and sugar is refined here.
! Hundreds of men are employed
| the year round in the factories,
and they are kept running day and
night, Sundays, too, during the
campaign. Fort Morgan is nice
City of 5000 inhabitants; is up-to.
date in every way. Most all the
farmers own their automobiles
Some live out 40 and 80 miles
This is very dry country; haven't
seen but two rains since leaving
Tennessee. The farms are irrigat
ed. We have very beautiful homes
most of them modern; lights, hea
and water. On the farms the homer
are up-to-date. They have wind
mills and gasoline engines topuml
the water, nice bath rooms ant
everything convenient.
It is very healthy here and
high altitude. Anyone suffering
with tuberculosis or catarrh il
any form, T advise them to TT,
Colorado; that is, if they will com,

in time, but if they wait too long,
they can't stand it, the air is 80
light. We have every nationality
of people; very few negroes, plenty
of Russians, Germans and Mexi-
cans. In September we have from
teer days in Fort Morgan for e
week. They have great times.
Cow boys from Wyoming and Col
orado meet here and have Bronco
busting and etc. One great game
is what they call bull lodging.
They jump from their horses onto
the backs of wild steers and catch
hold on the steers nose and throw
them.
Well, I am very glad when Mon.
day comes, as that is the day we
get the dear old paper. We failed
to get it last week and we were dis.
appointed. Come on Middlebrook
Cowell Chapel and Cross Roads
correspondents, How glad we are
to see a letter from those places
1 hope to visit Camden between
rou o,,d yu1otido Go pll ripo off
and if this is worthy of print | may
come again and tell you more Of
the distant West and of our trip tc
the Rockies.
With kindest regards to al
friends back in my dear old South
ern home.
Yours resptfully,
Mrs. WALTER THOMPSON.
