Sounds rather extravagant for war
time, doesn't It? However, you need
not be excited, because they are not
really real flowers, relates writer.
The effect Is achieved by taking yard
or two of cretonne with very large
flower motif in 1t, cutting out one Of
the motifs on Its outline, then button
holing the edge with crochet silk or
cotton. When used as dolly, this
will look just like "the real thing" To
make the pretty centerpiece take one
flower motif and attach four others
to 1t, so that 1t has more or less the
shape Of CROSS. This should be laid
on the table with each end pointing to
one corner of the table. Then the
doilies will fit in nicely.
This set will give very summery
and unusual appearance to the table,
and has the advantage Of lasting for
a long time without requiring tub
bing, which is decided recommended
tion in these days when the housewife
Is so busy with war work.

Alaska has been building roads since
1905. 1t has built 920 miles of wagon
roads, 800 miles of winter sled roads
and 2,210 miles of trails. One of these
roads was built for motorcar traffic,
but more than $50 trucks and passen.
ger cars were in use over them at the
close Of the last fiscal year.
Much damage has been done to the
roads by heavy narrow-tired trucks,
and the board of road commissioners
finds troubles of maintenance with
them always. In addition, they found
1t necessary to build five-mile road

MAKING LACE AS GUNS ROAR
Nancy, One of Frances Historic Cit

of Lorraine Embroideries.

Within sound of the roar of German
cannon and under constant menace of
attack, Nancy, one of the heroic cities
of France. has taken up again the
manufacture of Lorraine lace and en-
broidcrles, an industry that had al
most disappeared in a half-century Of
peace. Mayor Simon of Nancy, In an
interview In Lectures Pour Tous,"
Paris, says of this industry:
Several months ago we opened n
workroom in the center of the city
and called there our best workers
and several renowned lace artists, 1t
was a success from the start and the
industry soon surpassed all of our
hopes. We were not satisfied with
copies. All Of our designs are orig
inal. As municipality, we could not
engage in manufacturing, so a COM
pany was formed with a capital of
100000 francs ($30,000). The COM
pany has established store and the

Sumptuous Weaves.

1t Is plainly noticeable among the
French importations that the French
fashion leaders have not thought it at
ell necessary to use cheap and plain
materials. Indeed, in some instances
the stuffs seem more lavish than for
some time past. To be sure they are
not at all Haunting. They hide their
gorgeousness under bushel, as 1t
were. Cloth of gold on evening and
dressy afternoon clothes is seen re-
peatedly, but 1t is yelled with chiffon
or with tulle, only being allowed to
peep through and disclose the sump-
tuousness of its weaves.

PERMANENT ROAD IS FAVORED
Saving In Cost Of Rebuilding Would

A writer on the advantage of per.

the saving In the cost Of rebuilding

ly few years-and then there would be
a prospect Of valuable returns. The
thing would be like making few pay

Anybody who can do good house
Eork and who will make serious eff
fort to master some essential details
can be a successful home Gamer.
OF course, good sense and more than
ordinary care must be exercised, and
certain definitely demonstrated prin-
ciples must be adhered to.
1t Is not necessary to discuss those
principles here. The United States
department of agriculture has reduced
them to simple terms and printed them
in plain language. Full printed infor-
nation on canning may be had from
the department of agriculture by any
who care to ask for it-both general
information and specific information
on particular fruits and vegetables. In
addition to that, the department of
agriculture has an army Of home DEM

available. The equipment is neither
expensive nor hard to find. An or
dlnary wash boiler with some strips Of
board at the bottom Is as good a can

no equipment required in canning be-
yond the ordinary articles to be found
in the average household
The things that must not be so read

TO see to it that all fruits and vege-
tables not required for immediate use
shall be canned and carried over into
the winter, to increase the food supply
of n world that, for some time to come,
cannot be very far from the verge of
hunger.
There is, as everybody knows. a
shortage Of available labor for food
production. All people cannot do all
the kinds of labor that are necessary
to produce food. But here is an op-
portunity for those who cannot plant
and plow, harvest and gather into the
garner-an opportunity to make avail
able large quantities Of as good food
as there is in the world.

in money and labor on the public roads
aggregated only $SO,O00,OOO, compared
with some $300000,OOO for 1917. Thus
the public roads have been changed
with bewildering rapidity from the
status Of the purely local utility to that
Of a utility Of national Importance and
scope.
1t is well known that the railroads of
the United States are unable to carry
the enormous traffic now offered for
transportation, and 1t is to be expected
that the public roads will from now on
have added to their present traffic bur-
dens such freight as may be shifted to
them to relieve railway congestion.
1t is beyond question that for pas.
senger haul the public roads are used
to greater extent than the railroads.

Since War in 1914 Kansas Con-
tributes Big Wheat Output.
This State a Great Factor in
Supplying Worlds Bread.
YEAR AVERAGE al, 1853, 600 BU
Kansas Is Banner Wheat Ter.
ritory of Entire World.
Next Total Yield May Set New
Record for State.

Since the war started in 1914; the
state of Kansas has grown an annual
wheat crop equal to one-fifth of the
winter wheat output of the entire ma
ton. This interesting illustration of
what 4 prominent factor Kansas has
been in helping to supply the war torn
world with bread is gained from fig
ures gathered by j. C. Mohler, secre-
tary- of the state board of agriculture.
These figures include the wheat yields
of five crops-1914 to 1918 inclusive.
The average for these five crops in
Kansas is 111.553,0OO bushels. while
the average yearly total for the entire
winter wheat crop of the United States
for the same period is $50, 594,00
bushels. That these have been real
war crops is indicated by the fact that
only once in its history, before the war
broke out. did Kansas exceed the
100.00O.000 bushel mark
Kansas is the banner wheat state of
the nation. with such a big margin to
her credit that5i it has not even a close
competitor. Its nearest competitor in
the Writer wheat growing states is
Nebraska, whose five year average is
100000 bushels-50, 100000 less
than the Kansas average. North Da-
kota has second honors IN wheat pro-
duction. 1t grows spring wheat ex-
clusively and has to its credit for a
five year average. 99,112,0O0 bushels.
or 100000 bushels under the Kansas
average.
Remarkable Showing.
That Kansas has been able to make
such a record. despite terrific slump
in the 1917 crop, the total of which
was, 100000, or less than half the
yearly average, and furthermore to
the faet-t for the last two years the
crQps in. the west third of the state
has been practically a total failure
makes the showing all the more ra-
ma rkable.
Tier Year of 1914 was the best IL
lustration of the possibilities in wheat
production the state possesses. That
year saw the best the state ever pro-
duced. when a total of 10000, 900
bushels in round numbers was the
wheat output of Kansas farms. Had
conditions in western Kansas been as
favorable for wheat as in the eastern
part of the state, Kansas wheat yield
this season would have been probably
a third greater than it was. With the
federal aid plan, these western Kan
sas farmers this year will be able to
try again and next total yield may set
