"Once upon a time" said this wom-

uniform of the American summer girl.
1t was adopted without cavil. 1t was
accepted without comparison with the
fashions of any other country. And
yet, at this moment, 1t looks entirely
out of the picture"
There has been no revolution, de-
clares a prominent fashion writer.
Changes in summer apparel have been
In cities only. They are American
lied French fashions today. Even this
summer has seen a distinct change
from what has been.
The linen skirt, gored at the top,
slightly flaring at the hem, and but
toned down the front, is thing Of the
past to great majority of women who
are well dressed by instinct, or because
they follow the movement of the
crowds. Any skirt is worn but linen
one.
Sweaters In Evidence.
Certain shops say that the sale of
sweaters for the autumn is small, but
they add that the spring sale was good.
We see sweaters in every shop, despite
the conservation of wool decree, We
see women knitting sweaters Tor them:
selves and their cilifdreny and not for
the soldiers ana sailors We read that
colossal department shops have an un-
usual quantity of yarn and are willing
to sell 1t at moderate prices.
Yet, II one judges fashion by fash
ionable folk. the colored, knitted
sweater has had its day In silk or wool.
1t is sometimes worn under jackets,
on days in the open that need warmth,
when the affair is picnic, yachting
trip or an automobile tour. Otherwise
Il hangs In the closets Of the homes Of
fashionable women. However, its lack
Of fashion has not deprecated its mon
etary value, for yarn Is an expensive
thing to buy and most intricate and
difficult thing to obtain.

The Ledger Job Department is now

greater facility. Our job department
has always been in the hands of COM

this work and who were the best to be
secured. We have always been able to
take care of any character of job
printing, but the addition of the new
press makes it possible to facilitate
this work and deliver it with greater
dispatch.
Besides the large newspaper press

RULING MOST
IMPORTANT TO COUNTRY

Mexico Poultry dealers have receiv-
ed notice from the United States Food
Administration explaining fully why
they ordered a discontinuance Of the
marketing Of fowls by farmers and
their consumption from February l6
to April 80 this year.
Over l50,O0O,OO0 eggs will be lost
to the food supply Of the United States
if the old practice of sending hens to
market at this season is continued. &.
Figures compiled by the poultry spe-
cialists Of the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture show that more
than 100000 laying hens, each eapa-
Bile of producing 80 eggs, are sent Il
market from the Southern States il
the winter and early spring.
Every effort, therefore, is beini
made to encourage farmers to keel
their hens until after the spring lay
ing season, thereby getting a dividend
for keeping the hen through the win
ter. The specialists point out tina
when a hen is sold for meat early il
the spring, the farmer gets no egg re
turn for feeding and keeping he
through the worst months of tn
year.
An energetic egg-laying eampaig
to prevent early slaughter of the he

ing conducted throughout the Soutf

farmers have long appreciated the aC
vantage of getting the spring crop {
eggs and marketing their hens aftc

believe that adoption of this plan !

: liable and will materially add to Il

that we can publish a paper as good

5000 a year, which is the rate charg-
ID BY county papers all through the

As we understand the matter, con-
seryatiye business men generally are
figuring that if they get through the
war and be in anywhere near as good
4 financial shape as they were when
It started, they should be perfectly
satisfied The idea is not to profit

$3.50 year for the Weekly Ledger
Al least we are going to try II that
way the rest of this year anyway, in

According to J. 7. Mitchell, chair
man of the Boone County Council of
Defense, every effort is being made
to obtain the names of every person
who is financially able and who has
not contributed his quota to the finan-
cial aid of the war. eve expect to
remind these persons of their duty
with a request that they aid their
country. We have no doubt that in
majority of cases this will be suffi-
cient, for a number of people have not
done more because they have not been
solicited. However, there are a few
who are so calloused that more strin-
gent steps by the council will be nee
essary. We are receiving information
from all parts of the county of people,
who. the informants believe, have not
done their duty. Necessarily some OF
this information will be erroneous.
On the whole, however, it will be fair
ly accurate. Every one of these cases
will be investigated, and in time th'
council will act on each case" Mr.
