Ostrich Trimming on Dresses

Most astonished, indeed, were the
onlookers when a dull rose-colored
dinner gown presented itself, with a
little bunch of ostrich plumes of dull
blue and green tucked under the drap-
cry of the skirt This costume paved
the way and when another appeared
with uncurled ostrich running in strips
at intervals of about six inches from
each other on the skirt it was received
with admiration instead of surprise
and amazement. That odd fur, mon
key is being used to great extent on
the velvet dresses for fall and winter.
Its shiny, silky qualities lend a sooth-
ing atmosphere to the coat or dress
which is fortunate to have it as trim
ming.
The Younger Generation
is everywhere in evidence. The kiddies
are not contented to stay at home and
let the older ones do everything. No,
indeed, not the little patriots of Uncle
Sam. They may be seen right now on
Fifth Avenue collecting for soldiers
and sailors, whereas the cloister of
the nursery and the privacy of their
gardens used to claim them. The
sailor suit which all little boys adore
and which could be worn only to the
circus or other red-letter occasions is
now one of the essentials of the
wardrobe.

FORCE PLUS DIPLOMACY
BRINGS VICTORY

This supreme triumph, the salts
factory. ending Of the greatest war
the world has ever known, mas been
brought about by the joint action of
two forces, the military genius of
Foch and the diplomatic genius of
Wilson. BY that we do not mean 10
impute to them any exclusive credit
or to imply that there are no others
who in their place might have done
as well. But by the course of events
these two men were put into a posi-
ton of leadership and the yhave
accomplished their task in way to
win the admiration of the world, in
GLIDING their enemies at home and
abroad. Sometimes the critical have
complained that Foch was retreating
or that Wilson was weakening, hut

are known it will be seen that both

very canciously we'll thought out
line of policy leading toward Che con-
clusion now attained. 1t was COM
biped effort under unified direction
that won.
The completeness and suddenness
CT our victory are due to the unpre-
cedented coordination of the military
and diplomatic offensives. Enemy
towns have been bombed simultan-
eously with high explosives and presi-
Dental messages. Neither one alone
could have so quickly accomplished
the desired result. When Foch dc.
livered an attack he knew what was
the weakest sector in the enemys
line and when to hit it. Wilson had
the same knowledge of the internal
state of the enemy countries and he
timed and directed his utterances to

each played into the hands Of the
other in accordance with the plans of
the Allies. The military movements
had political aim and the diplomatic
measures were designed to facilitate
the military operations. The half
million men at Salonica remained al
most idle for two years while the
Bulgars, largely because of Americas
Intervention, became increasingly dis
gusted with their part in the war.
Finally, when it was thought that the
process of internal disintegration had
gone far enough, external pressure
was applied and Bulgaria collapsed at
the touch. The Bulgarian troops,

Finger Shot Off

William D. Bum, who is some
where in France, and was in the
thick of the fighting, wrote his pa
rents under date of October %,
stating that he had been slightly
wounded. He was pierced through
his left forefnger by piece off of
a shell that exploded near him.
The explosion knocked him down,
but he soon recovered from the
shock, but the wound kept him in
the hospital two or three weeks,
He says: II sure have been waited
on good, have not wanted for a
thing, so don't, you worry about
me, for they sure are good to us
here" He was anxious to get
back to his company. Young Bum
was of the impression the war
would soon end. showing that the
boys at the front had very good
idea of the conditions. He has
gone with his company over the
top several times, is willing to do
all he can, but is anxious for the
war to close so he can return
home.

LET THE FARMER KEEP
READY FOR WAR WORK

when our soldiers face the Ger
mans in the trenches we do not expect
them to be equipped with rusted and
broken weapons. We want them to
have the best modern war equipment
and to be trained to care properly for
this equipment" says James Arentsop,
farm machinery specialist, division of
extension. University of Tennessee,
Knoxville.
1--WE believe that the present war
will be won by the man behind the
plow,". he continues. III this is true,
it certainly behooves us to keep that
implement in the best possible condi-
ton.
Every effort should be made this
winter to put the farm implements in
such condition that there will be no
loss of time in the field next spring.
Il. Prevent rust and rot by provid-
ing a good shelter. Paint where neces
sary.
80. Thoroly clean and oil all work
ing parts.
"3. Apply axle grease to all polish
cd surfaces, such as cultivator shovels,
corn planter shoes, plows, etc.
a. Order all needed repairs at
once.
So Make repairs this winter and
plcwshares, cultivator shovels, ETC.,
sharpened before you need them.

WORK HARD AND DON'T w5s.u
It There May Be Said to Sc aRecips
for Long and Happy Life,
Why There II Is

America is anxiOusIy scanning tbs
casualty lists these days p0lgnantly
sensitive to the dread possibilities Of
war. Yet. If we paused to think, we
should find, as the Equitable Life AS
surance society has deducted from Its
vast experience In mortality data, that
"worry kills more men than war and
disease put together" We read OF those
killed In action, dead Of wounds. ac-
eidents or disease at the front, and
our hearts are wrung for the loss of
these brave boys. but day by day
larger company falls out Of our own
ranks here at home to answer the last
call, the Pittsburgh Dispatch observes.
Some are spoken Of as victims
Of hard work, Of overexertlon, but IL
the truth were known, 1t would be
found it was worry that FASTENED their
END. Hard work never killed anyone.
II Is worry that kills.
A young man, for instance, rises to
the head Of good business or to some
other responsible position. Perhaps
he begins to slacken, to ease up a lit
tie, and leaves the details to his sub.
0rdlnates. Things do not move as
smoothly, and, when he wakes up, ne
finds he has lost his grip Of affairs and
begins to worry His friends think
hard work killed him, but 1t was worry
that shortened his years. While he
was fighting his way upward his work
engrossed him. as 1t will any mann
capable Of a.career. W0rk;left him no
time for worry. Keep pegging away.
Worry is the grain Of dust that up-
sets the fine balance Of the human
mechanism brings loss of power, slow.
ing down the engine and ultimately
racking 1t to pieces.
Bear in mind that "worry kills moro
men than war and disease put tOgeth-
err" and 50 shape your life and hab-
ituate your mind that you cannot be
victim.

In area it is one of the smaller,
but in financial, cultural and spiritual
matters it is one of the larger bodies.
The following presiding elders dis
tricts composed the Memphis confer
ence; Memphis, Paris, Jackson,
Brownsville, Lexington, Union City,
