The wardrobe has made wells
popular They are being worn with
every kind Of hat. Some are long.
some are short some cover the hat
only, others fall in long folds far past
the waist line. Some are plain some
are heavily embroidered. Chiffons
fashion some. and others are the usual
net or mesh.
1t is almost an established fact that
every hat must have its veil. The
little turned up pokes have a tiny evil
that barely covers the eyes and does
not dare to reach the nose. The small
turbans have long chiffon wells which
are never worn over the face at all,
but are pinned tightly over, the hat and
allowed to fall down the back in folds.

! BUENOS AIRES, Jan. 14.-Brazil-
 ian papers received here today arc tfilled with accounts, of the movements of a German corsair. oil the Brazilian coast a few weeks ago. The newspap-
 CTS assert that the, mysterious vessel
 was identified as a German and that
 1t unloaded an immense cargo of Iheavy cases at Cerqueira and Arma- cao. O.
 Several days later the steamer re- turned to Armacao with additional cargo. which the newspaper account says 1t is believed she received fEom a larger ship out of sight of land.
 From .Armacao the vessel proceeded to Calour where another portion of cargo was unloaded. a
 . These ports are not guarded, and it is asserted that the cargoes landed were mysteriously smuggled away. Later the German vessel was sighted at San Pedro de Aldere. where two person are now under arrest as re- suit of their relations with the crew. They are charged with being spies. The newspapers say the corsair dis appeared as mysteriously as she came, and Brazilians believe she brought supplies for a submarine base.

EMPRESS RATES CHEAPER
 <, s .THAN.sECOND-CEs.ss MAIL

Postmaster-G General Burleson is get ting the hook all around on account of the zone system of second class postal rates which he succeeded In putting through Congress recently. A writer in "The Public" shows that long haul of reading matter by mail now costs more than the express charges on the same haul of food stun. He writes:
 "The Weekly-Farm-to-Table Bull letin" of the Wells Fargo Express Company shows that they will collect. ship and deliver at my door an eight pound salmon from Seattle. packed in seven pounds of ice, a fifteen-pound package, for a total charge. including the fish, of $2.00. Conference with Wells Fargo people discloses that $1.00 of this Is allowed for express charge, or in other words. seven cents a pound called for and collected and delivered at my door.
 The Post Office charges ten cents a pound for the advertising pages of a magazine aione---and the department alleges that this is their cost of handl- ing! And. mind you. magazines are delivered to the Post Office free. and in the bulk of cases also called for! What is it.. inefficiensy or bad account ing? According to this the Post Office charges 3 cents pound more for in- ferior service. Further. the same Bulletin" of the Wells Fargo Express will ship me eggs. poultry, nuts, butter. apples. honey and in fact all kinds of farm, produce from each zone marked out by the Post Office Department. or new post al law. at from 20 to 35 per cent cheaper than the Post Office Depart ment can deliver tremendously i'm portant periodicals.

Your methods, shift less, vain and lax, the prudent far mer scorns; your hogs are always razorbacks, your beeves all run to horns. Your cockleburs all go to seed. your Russian thistles thrive, and ev- cry worthless, noxious weed you al ways keep alive; but if you have a patch of oats. it's harvest you delay, while your are hunting for the shOtes or mules that went astray.

Farm Journal people see my name wheneer they read that sheet, and while play my present game they'll think of good old Pete. But if I farmed like Smith or Brown, those marvels of the age, there'd be no news of Tumbledown upon Farm Journals page. So I'll continue rais- ing swine with noses two feet long; and every crop and shrub and vine I'll see is planted wrong. I'll keep on raising roosters, too, while you are raising hens. and thus be kept in public view by divers trenchant pens. By Walt Mason.

ROADS A WAR NECESSITY

That we are in war, with the mani
fold duties and obligations that en-
tail upon every loyal citizen, is an
unanswerable argument for the con-
struction of real roads now just as
rapidly as possible.
The tremendous transportation bur-
dens created by the war-the move
ment of troops, equipment, munitions,
food. forage and supplies-already has
overloaded the railroads to such an ex-
tent that the War Department has
contracted for thirty-fve thousand mo-
tor trucks for military use to supple
ment rail facilities. As a result of
the universal mobilization of the rail-
roads for military use, commercial and
industrial transportation already is
hampered to a demoralizing extent,
and that this upset will be intensified
is attested by the statement of Chair
mar Fairfax Harrison of the war trans
portation board that already more
than five hundred nonessential COM
modities are being denied rail trans
p~ortation.'
How shall our own transportation
needs-the movement of the products
of the farm, forest, mine and factory
be supplied? All are ag reed that
we must win the war, but no one can
~foretell its termination. and the long
er it continues the greater will be-
come its transportation requirements.
The use of motor trucks for either
military or home industrial service is
an utter impossibility on muddy roads
and the federal highways department
is insistently urging and demanding
that all of the state highway boards
speed up their efforts in the ~expendi-
ture of the millions which Congress
voted them for hard road construction
So strong is the belief that good
roads construction is a fundamental
part of the Nations plan for military
preparedness that among The men mum
bered in the road drive now under way
are those st. Joseph and Buchanan
county citizens who have been most
active in the Liberty Loan, Red Cross
and Baby Bond campaigns. A score
or more of these big minded citizens
are devoting the same energy to the
road fight that they gave to the loan

Thursday, January II, 1918

People all over America are becom-
ing dissatisfied with their business be-
cause war is cutting down their for
mer high profits. Merchants Of the
east are coming west and the mer-
chants of the west are going elsewhere
looking for a place to locate. A num-
Der have already tried this plan of
moving about to find a better place to
locate in business, but they like the
rolling stone gather no moss" and
will soon content themselves 10 settle
down and do the best they can until
business u its usual proportions.
There are people who go from store to
store and buy all the sugar and flour
they are allowed by the government
at each place. They are like the mice
boarding it away for winter. Our al
lies are needing sugar and flour. An
old lady writing to her son from Eng
land said she would give anything for
a lump of sugar. She lives in Eng
land and the son lives in Oklahoma.
Circumstances like this are happening
every day. We are like the drunkard
who cannot do without his booze. We
must have u sugar and wheat flour
and the scarcer it becomes the more
we crave it. Try to form a resolution
to save all the sugar and flour you can
and live up to that resolution.
