Suede Belts.

Suede is a popular material for sep
arate belts. These are shown in many
widths, from very narrow ones, fas-
tening with brass or pearl buckles, to
wide crush belts which slip through
buckles of the suede. Some are orna-
mented with self or contrasted silk
stitching, put on in vertical or hori-
zontal stripes. One style Of tan suede
belt comes with stripes of scarlet SOU
tache braid, either with a number of
narrow stripes or two or three quite
wide ones, Green and tan suede belts
are mounted with stripes of black pat
ent leather and some have, in addition,
a fitted piece of black patent leather.

What cow-Testing Showed.

The average production of all dairy
cows in the United States is 100
pounds of butterfat a year, according
to estimates. The average production
Of all cows in 40 cOw-testing associa-
tions studied by Investigations of the
United States department of agrlcul-
ture was 247 pounds year. Careful
tabulatiOns Of the records Of the 40 as
sociations show that a production of
100 pounds of butterfat a year gave an
income of $23 over cost of feed, while
the average income over cost of feed
for all the cows in these associations
was SAT, or a little more than twice
as much.
Undoubtedly the dairymen who join
Cow-testing associations are more pro-
gressive than the average, and own
cows and farms that are much above
the average, but the fine showing made
by association cows should be credit
ed, in large measure, to association
work Certainly the cow-teSting assO-
Citations return many dollars more than
they cost. 1t is encouraging also to
know that the cow-testing association
records indicate that the large-produc-
ing dairy cows are the least affected
by the increased cost of feeds. There
fore, every dairyman should aim to
keep them where they will continue
the economical production of human
food. Economical production can be
obtained not only through careful Sc
lection of dairy cattle, but through in
telligent breeding and skillful feeding.

Ideas in New Sleeves.
NEW COLOR TRIMMED GLOVES
Touches in Wee Tucks of a Different
Tint Add to Summer Gloves
of Heavy Silk.

The embroidered gloves and the new
color trimmed gloves are so popular
that it is difficult to keep a sufficient
supply to meet the demand. Through
out France families for four or more
generations keep on making gloves as
a business, passing it on from genera
ton to generation.
While this has resulted in the
French glove being the best made and
often the most original in design, it Is
significant to note that the really prac-
teal heavy glove for universal need
is rarely made in France. Such
gloves come from England.
AS to the new summer glove, the
heaviest quality of silk has added
touches in wee tucks, sometimes of
color different from the main glove.
Sometimes there is a very narrow
plating about the top of the glove.
Nothing will replace the white chamoi-
settle for general wear. 1t is so prac-
tical for every purpose that it will

Some skirts of Fragile Fabrics.

Skirts that are just skirts, and not
a part of a dress or suit, have rapidly
undergone advancement from prosaic,
commonplace adjuncts of the ward
robe to position of essential impor'
tance. This progressive state Of af-
fairs is traceable to the greater inter-
est in outdoor sports-to the actual
athletic tendency Of the modern girl
or, at least, to her real interest in the
sartorial side of such activities. Also
to be classed with the practical models
is a skirt of cream tricOtine with a
long apron panel which is slashed up
the center and has the sides turned
back to form deep and very wide
pockets. Black worsted embroideries
ornament the pockets which, on occa-
sion, may hold the knitting yarn.

A SUGGESTION ABOUT BONDS.
Salem, Or, April l, 191d

Salem, Or, April l, 1915
Editor Capital journal:
Dear SIR
Will you kindly give me a little space
in your valuable paper, to make a sug-
gestion in the interest of the present
Liberty Bond drive.
To come to the point; the city council
of Baker, Oregon, passed an ordinance
a short time ago, permitting debtors to
the city to pay such debts in liberty
bonds, taking anne at par, thus enabling
the city's debtors to kill two birds with
one stone.
Roseburg voted the city to carry two
thousand dollars worth of bonds, to b.
purchased out of the cityls funds, and
carried as a cash asset till the maturity
of the bonds.
With other cities taking the lead in
assisting the bond drive in this manner,
is there any reason why Salem could not
take action similar to that in Baker,
Oregon. There is no doubt that it would
add several thousand dollars to Uncle
Sans wal chest if they would. The
bonds could be carried as security, or
taken at par, in either case no patriotic
citizen would set up any howl about the
trivial amount of interest concerned,
namely 6 per cent that the city charges,
and 4 IA per cent the bonds viii pay.
We hope that in the interest of Win
the War" the council will not neglect
this opportunity to assist the bond
drive, making of course, all debts pay
able with bonds purchased in the pre-
sent drive.
Yours truly.
ONE OF THE CITY s
nFRTORS.
