INeLlNe FOR RICH PATRONS
Vow New York MilIiner Catches the
unwary Western Woman
N With Money. Mt

In Woman's Home Companion,
Corinne Lowe tells Of the wiles used
By Fifth avenue milliner In maxi
ing the Fern Piper" hat famous:
Those for whom the spider spread
Its web were not the wealthy and
questionable women Of New York,
but wealthy and prompt customers
from the middle West. These are the
people who make money for every
Fifth avenue speciality shop. And
the only difficulty which now lay in
our path was that this profitable Gus
tom always has to be secured through
n reputation for serving the most
fashionable members of New York So
ciety, those notorious fashionablcs
who are so sensitive to second bill
and who never think of paying their
first one until at least six months have
elapsed.
."At first we did not have a single
member of this sorority. What we
did was to fake them. This was
achieved by several ingenious meth
DDS. One Of these was to pay $40 a
week each to the chauffeurs Of Mrs.
Philip Rhinestewart and of Mrs. Clin-
ton De Sale Rives for driving their
crested limousines up before our
doors when these same ultra-fashion-
able employers were otherwise en-
gagged. The empty limousines were
extremely efiicacious, and it was not
long before the women who were try
ing to get into fashionable society
were impressed. One by one they came
TO us.
Meanwhile, we were also paying
the clerks of two of the smartest of
New York's hotels to recommend Fern
Piper to their rich out-of-tOwn pa
trons."

Weapons of War.

This is the most scientific war ever
fought. There is less dependence on
man power and more on machinery
than at any time in the history of the
world, says the Popular Science
Monthly. We pin our faith to high ex-
plosives, poison gases, tear shells, gas
masks, liquid fire, etc, all of which
are applied chemistry, and to machine
guns, heavy artillery, automobiles, sub
marines, airplanes, and so forth,
which are very much refined mechan-
les. The greatest minds in the scien-
tific and mechanical world have pooled
their brains and obtained wonderful
results.

N swollen organization always

the air minister, as he surveys the
staff which he has taken over. How
did Napoleon manage his clerical staff
one wonders. According 20 yelling
ton there were 1900 clerks in the
French war Office. Normally we had
co clerks with the war secretary, 4G
in the ordnance, and about so at the
horse guards. "These $50 do the

Future Generations viii Realize How
Much They Owe to Courage and
Skill Of Photographers

| When the history Of the great war
comes to be written in the days after
the tumult and the shouting have died
away, the fortunate chronlclcrs of the
momentous events now in progress will
have access to enormously valuable
and enormously numerous documents
Of a Kind with which their predeces-
sors Of the nineteenth century were
but scantily supplied, and those Of
earlier times next to not at all.
Photography can hardly be called
new, and as long ago as our war be-
tween the states we had photographers,
notably the never to be sufficiently
thanked Brady, who immortalized the
leading figures and some of the events
In that conflict. But what was done
with the clumsy cameras Of that era
can hardly be mentioned in comparison
with the achievements of the men who
today follow every army, often to the
very front of battle. The products of
their courage and skill will constitute
priceless treasure in the future, and
the students of this war, even in re-
mote ages, will be able actually to see
Its every phase and operation.
The reproduction OF photographs by
printing processes is equally far adj
vanced beyond the old standards Of ex-
cellcnce, and reproductions have be-
come wonderfully cheap. Indeed, so
cheap are they and so abundant that

He Got a Seat.

Speaking of street cars reminds one
of the latest-the very latest-thing in
wording heard on local traction line.
This was sprung on an unsuspecting
world the other night-morning rather
about three o'clock.
The springer told about it to his of
fee mates the next morning as fol-
lows:
"I'm so used to standing up in the
street car that don't know how to sit
down any more, actually" he said. Il

to get a seat on a Washington street

Greeks and Romans.

s'The custom of waking the dead,
with the drinking, smoking and con-
versation of the large company OF

of mourning, appears homogeneous and
repulSive TO those who are unacquaint-
ed with it's remote origin or the kindly
and humane motives which underlie
it," says Michael Macdonagh, in the
English Review. "The wake is a very
old institution. Tt existed among the
Egyptians, the Greeks and the Romans,
Shakespeare and Scott give instances
of medieval revels in honor of the
dead. The custom survives in a diff
ferent form, but with somewhat identi-
cal motives, among the Irish, almost
alone of the ancient peoples.
"'Waking' means, for one thing,

ing the body shut up in room, all
alone, would be most repellant to the
Irish nature. 1t would be regarded as
desertion. The Irish keep close COM

last moment of the burial.
1.-THE body is clothed in shroud
made in imitation of the habits worn
by certain orders of friars and in
the hands, crossed reyerently on the
breast, is placed crucifix. The walls
near the bed are hung with clean
white sheets on which are pinned
punches of flowers, laurel leaves and
holy pictures. Lighted candles, seven
in number, are on the table. They are
symbolical of hopes and aspirations
relating to the dead. That he or she
has been cleansed of the seven deadly
sins, possessed the seven gifts of wis
dom, understanding, counsel, fortitude,
knowledge, piety and fear of the Lord,
and the seven principal virtues.

body lies the visitors kneel and say
prayer for the eternal salvation of the
departed soul. Afterward in the kitch-

and stout are served to the company.

Meat Is Scarce.

Patrick J. Kennedy and Thomas
Carr, farmers of Templeton, Ind, came
to Indianapolis with three carloads of
hogs and cattle, and after waiting AL
day at the stock yards were told that
there was no demand for them, says
the Indianapolis News. The price on
hogs fell off from $3.50 to $17.1O while
they were at the yards and finally they
had to sell II of the choicest hogs from
one car at SIT. They were told that
these hogs were too fat. The razor
backs, comparatively speaking, brought
$17.10. The cattle could not be sold.
After this experience the two went
to a stock yards restaurant nearby and
ordered steak. It was Tuesday and,
therefore, a meatless day.
sWe can't buy beef or pork said the
waitress. All we have for you is fish
and oysters. Meat is very scarce, you
know"
sYes, we know" said Kennedy, as he
gave in and bought substitute.

the papers that woman has "held

agent of the important Grand Trunk
station at Lewiston a dozen years ago
was a woman, who held the job for
some time. And the writer can testify
that she was businesslike and efficient,

WHERE FARMING
IS PROFITABLE
The Future of Great Possibilities.

Some idea OF the great wealth that
the Western Canada farmer had in
view few years ago is now being real
lied. The amount received from the
sale of wheat, oats, barley, flax and
rye in 1917 was $27O,OOO,000, while the
sales Of live stock at Winnipeg alone
netted $40,000,000 additional. OF this
sum hogs alone gave over eleven mil
lion dollars. The increases at Calgary
and Edmonton were over 6A million
dollars.
This money, so easily earned, is be-
ing spent in improvements in farm
property, purchasing additional land,
buying tractors, automobiles, and i'm
proving home conditions, providing
electric light, steam heat, new furnl-
ture, pianos, buying Victory bonds,
paying up old debts, etc.
Over five hundred tractors were sold
in Southern Alberta in 1917. One
implement agent reports that the in
crease in his business in 1917, over
that of 1916, was equal to the total
business in 1915. 1t is the same story
all over the country. And it is not
this evidence alone which proves the
advancement and growth of the three
prairie provinces, but the large in
crease In the number of settlers; the
Improvement in the extent of the cul-
tivated areas and agricultural produc-
ton the increase in value OF Whicn
over 1916 was $77.000,000.
This wonderful progress that mas
been made in agriculture in Western
Canada is but the beginning when
marks the future of the greatest agrl-
cultural country on the continent,
showing a future of>great possibilities.
There are millions of acres yet I'M
titled, and of land as good as any OF
that which is now giving its owners a
return of from twenty to thirty dollars
an acre, figures that in many cases
represent the cost of the land, with all
cultivation costs included. It is true
that the cost of production has in
creased during the past few years, but
the price of the product has also in
creased to a figure which leaves a
large balance to the credit of the pro-
