Since calico has become fashionable
milliners have launched few late
summer hats, made of various cotton
materials and labeled "calico hats"
that reflect this wartime fad. If we
are destined to have to come to calico
in our millinery it is a consolation to
know that It can be made into such
pretty headwear as that shown at the
bottom of the picture above. We must
be economical-lt is the proper war
time pose, and therefore Miss Fifth
Avenue promenades In a calico frock,
although she may be discovered to
have 1t trimmed with a little real and
costly lace. This is inconsistent but
the pose is pretty anyway and the ex-
ample set worth while.
The hat at the lower right is a
genuine calico affair-the calico the
old, familiar indigo blue with white
polka dot. The brim covering Is cut
in a square and edged with rck-rack
braid. The four corners Of the square
are turned up over the upper brim
and tucked against the crown. A blue
and white silk cord Is tied about the
crown and terminates at the front in
bow and ends. Little silk tassels
finish the ends. The hat at the left
is made Of fine printed cotton crepe
in light pink and white. Instead of
points there are square tabs turned
hack over the brim. This brim COW
erfnp is edged with narrow white silk
fringe and white silk cord and tas-
sells provide the trimming. The cord
is tied in bow at the front and
back.
Plaid ginghams have made some Of
the prettiest hats classed In the calico
group. They are trimmed with searfs

Fur Used Less.

In the new suits for fall the absence
of fur trimmings is notable. This Is
partly on account Of the very high
prices Of furs now and partly because
women are at present wearing nil sorts
of long stoles, capes and coatees Of
fur over their suits and dresses. 1t Is
thought this fad will curry into the
coming fall and winter. and now in

WHAT FARMER THINKS
OF THE COUNTY AGENT.

The stntes relations service OF
the United States department OF
agriculture has on file thou
sands of letters from farmers
telling Of help they have re-
celved from county agents.
The following Is quoted from
a letter written by w. H. Har-
vey, a farmer Of Long Beach.

to plant small areas to Rocky Ford
seed. The result-in 1917 farmers OF
this section sold 20 cars Of cantaloupes
with gross returns of over $4,000. Re
ceipts per acre ranged from $3.50 to
$3.50.
The farmers began to appreciate the
value Of their land, started sowing
winter crops. called upon the county
agent concerning silos and began look
Ing about for cattle for their farms.
Land that had slow sale at @25 an
acre Jumped In two years to $75 an
acre. according to report to the United
States department Of agriculture. Not
least important, through the canta-
loupe enterprise the county agent
gained the confidence Of the farmers
Of the entire county In his work for
better farming.

Keep the oardan colna.

Don't let the garden loaf after the
crops planted In the spring have been
gathered. Plant new crops for fall
harvesting and get the maximnm bene-
fit from your food plot.
In most sections of the United
States nearly all the common garden
vegetables can be planted early In Au-
gust with plenty of time for their
maturity before the first killing frost
In the autumn. As late garden crops
which may follow others the following
are suggested:
Beets, Brussels sprouts. late cab
bage. caufifi0wer, celery. sweet corn.
kale. peas, spinach and turnips.

cities Need Rat D.s.r.s..

The city is the great stronghold Of
the rat, its permanent refuge and It's
last line Of defense. The rodents
might be destroyed in all rural dis
tricts and villages, but II not routed

soon be repopulated with rats from

many other institutions of cities at

large fires they are still to be found.
though less abundant. Many large
buildings. rat-prOOf as to walls and.
foundations, have become infested
with rodents through careiessness or
oversight of owners or occupants and
the animals are intrenched behind fix-
lures or merchandise. Fortunately It
is possible to rout the rats from these
hiding places.
The biological survey Of the U. 8.
department Of agriculture recon-
mends that cities require that all
buildings to be erected shall be made
rat-proof under rigid system Of In
spection; that all existing buildings
with rat-proof walls and foundations
be made really rat-proof by closing or
screening every opening through which
rats might enter; that rat-proofing Ne

buildings that need them. Use Of dogs.

Mr. Bear looked helpessly at DR..

he felt just like eating a good break

When dinner was on the table, DR.
Fox said he guessed he would take few

Mr.. Bear tasted the roast pig and
before he had finished it, DIR. Fox had
eaten nearly all the duck and chicken
