and with farmers IN his county the
problem of helping the Red Cross and
at the same time helping hog produc-
ton. This was talked in every school
house and in every rural church in the
county. Practically every merchant,
every banker; in fact, most of the bust
ness men, raised pigs for this ship
ment. OF course, the vast majority
were raised by farmers. Nearly 500
negroes belonged to this club. The
tention not only in Mississippi, but In
the st. Louis market. The bureau of
markets of the United States depart
ment of agriculture assisted in calling
the attention of the buyers to these
hogs.
This interesting shipment is, there
fore, but the elimination of a piece OF
constructive work accomplished by the
close cooperation of the farmers Of
Carroll county with a good county
agent. 1t has made the farmers of
Carroll county Independent; they have
'lived at home;" they have paid of
as many mortgages as in seven years
previous; they have made so per cent
fewer chattel mortgages. Eighty-five
per cent used to farm on credit; now
only Is per cent need this help. It has
added to the food supply of the nation
in time of need; it has revolutionized
the farming of county; it has made
the lot of the average farmer of Car
roll county infinitely more tolerable
and has brought him a degree of.
economic safety impossible under a
one-crop cystem.

Many furs of indefinite origin are

Even before news of the signing of

world to rejoicing. apparel began to
reflect the cheerful mood of a public

things optimism showed itself first In

in dinner and house gowns OF splen-
tiidly colored oriental silks The

Use of Lace.

The French models, some of them,
show lace. This, is an interesting an
nouncement just now. For one thing,
we haven't used lace for a good many
years, excepting a bit Of flet or val
enciennes in our lingerie blouses.
There were few black lace evening
frocks a few seasons ago, but on the
whole lace has not been in high fash
ion for a long time. Another interest
ing phase of this lace question is this:
Lace is scarce. At least, with the lace
workers of Belgium out of the market,
and with the lace workers of European
countries presumably engaged in va
rious other Industries, it is difficult
to see how much new lace can be pro-
duced. For lace making takes time.

Now when Prickly Porky said that

Made of White Satin.

White satin has had a long inning
Though not as popular as they were
a season or so ago. white satin col
lars and cuffs continue in good taste
and good style. and there are a dozen
uses to which we put white satin that
had not been thought Of a couple of
years ago.
1t took the war bride who found
herself possessed Of a lavish roll of
heavy white satin to discover the
manifold uses to which this fabric
could be put. She had expected a
white satin" wedding. Of course, and
before she had decided on her brides
maids or whether she would be mar
ried on Wednesday or Saturay.
Thursday or Friday. she bought the
white satin. And then. as always
happens. she got word from her lieu
tenant husband that the wedding
would really have to come OFF"
within two weeks. After that there
was either to be work in a distant
camp or work overseas.
No one gainsays the soldier husband
nowadays, and even fond mammas
ding cake have to give in to these
sudden changes of plan. So the we'd
ding took place before few friends
and the bride wore her travelling suit
"a readymade one. to be sure. alter
ed as best 1t could be to save the
time OF having one made to measure.
And there was the white satin. There
were yards and yards of 1t. 1t must
be that the bride and her mother had
planned for q really majestic train.
for there was enough to make more
than two ordinary wedding gowns.
OF course, II put away in blue pa

perhaps 1t could have been given to a
younger sister or cousin or saved for
a possible daughter. But boarding
even of satin isn't fashionable nova
days. So the bride decided to use 1t.
The dressmaker gave her the first
fdea-that was for a straight. rather
scant. pleated sport skirt to wear
with a lingerie blouse and light
colored sweater. Thtt proved great
success. for the brides trousseau was
not too well equipped.
1t was the brides own idea to have
a white satin evening wrap. She saw
a rather gorgeous one worn by a
favorite actress. 1t was trimmed
around the bottom and around the
sleeves with graduated bands of vel
vet ribbon and was lined with color
ed crepe de chine. The replica was
made at home and cost only the lin
ing and the velvet bands. 1t was de-
cidedly acceptable as a wrap to wear
over light summer evening frocks.
The bride found out that all satin is
wash satin If 1t is of good quality. so
she made a filmy little lace and rib
bon petticoat and camisole set. with
the white satin as a foundation. To
go with 1t she had also a little rose
bud-trimmed boudoir cap and a
matinee jacket that was. in truth.
more lace than satin.

Prices for sardines recommended by
representatives of that industry from
Maine for 1918 have been accepted by
the food administration and 1t is an
nounced that higher prices will be
considered unreasonable under the

arrived at after an examination OF
the costs OF operation in the sardine
canning industry. The maximum
prices are $3.50 per case on one-quar-
ter keyless oil sardines and se.25 on
three-quarters standard mustard sar-
dimes.
The customary differentials for keys

fancy goods the prices will not pro-
