IMPRESSED BY MoToRTRUcK
Farmers Could Not Help but See Value
of Machines as They Carried
immense Loads.

Farmers in nearly all parts of the
United States have had impressed
upon them the value of the motor
truck for farm work. The railroad
congestion and the shortage of rail.
road equipment made it particularly
necessary during the past five or six
months to send new trucks overland
from the factories and to handle large
quantities of freight, such as or
dinarily would have been handled
by the railroads, by using motortrucks-
These conditions took the trucks
out into the farming districts in great
er numbers and with greater fire.
quency than ever before. Farmers
saw them hauling immense loads on
the paved roads and on the ordinary
roads of the country and could not
help being impressed.

and wool the body of the coat-that
portion about the shoulder and sleeve
is Of the silk, often extended below
the waist, forming a long waist effect.
Collars-which are ample-are of the
velours and cuffs to match them. Those
who are looking for something new
might consider the silk jersey or wool
and Jersey combinations.
Pongee, like taffeta, we have always
with us in aristocratic coats. They
are among those present this year.
Very handsome models are entirely of
pongee and others Of pongee and black
satin, the satin used in collars and
cuffs and in wide borders at the bot.
tom of the garment. Very handsome
long capes of black satin lined with
colored satin have scored a success,
and some very dressy capes are in
light colors finished with deep silk
fringes.

ITEMS OF HIGHWAY EXPENSE
Interest on Investment and Cost OF
Maintenance All Have Vital Bear
ing on Road Plans.

The following is quoted from an ar
ticle by B. H. Piepmeier maintenance
engineer, highway department. state
of Illinois:
"There are three principal items of
expense connected with road improve
ment which the engineer must impress
upon the public mind before it will be
possible for him to construct an econ
omical system of roads. These factors
are: The original cost of the improve
ment; the interest on the money in
vested in the improvement, and the to-
tai upkeep cost. When all of these
factors are taken into consideration. 1t
is evident that many of the cheaper
types of roads, when properly main
tanned, will give the desired service
and yet will be much more economical
on account of their low first cost.
"When a type of road is selected,
taking into consideration the three
principles set forth above, it is very
essential that provision be made for
proper and efficient maintenance. If
local conditions are such that mainte-
nance may be delayed or prevented,
preference should be given to type
of pavement that requires only small
amount of maintenance and which will
be serviceable for a period of time
even with no maintenance whatever

dings organdie dresses and organdie
hats give the bridesmaids every chance
for lovely color and quaint design in
their frocks and millinery. Organdie

make fascinating wedding gowns.
There are many ways of draping the
veil. One very good way is to gather
the tulle into q band of silver lace to
form a close-fitting cap; another Is ar
ranged in a larger cap with double
frill about the face-as shown in the
picture, and third presents the veil
falling from a coronet of fine lace,

No matter what else in the way of
wraps is offered for midsummer, we
are always sure of the taffeta coat.
1t is so practical and so pretty that
1t cannot be banshed entirely-it
comes along as inevitably as the
Fourth of July or the bathing suit.
Here it is as interpreted for this sum-
mer in taffeta, with landings of vel
vet. 1t is as graceful and easy as the
popular cape and at least as little
trouble to manage.
In colors these silk coats are best
in dark shades-deep blue. brown and
green proving full of style. There Is
always black, of course, depending
upon Smartness of the design to rescue
it from being commonplace. The lus-
ter of taffeta makes 1t a wonderful me-
dunn for colors.
Very much less familiar are new
summer coats of wool velours and silk

ROADS
CARING FOR COUNTRY ROADS
Heavily Loaded Wagons With Narrow
Tires Are lnjurious-PIace Har-
rows on a Drag.
By e. B. HOUSE, Colorado Agricultural
COLLAGE Fort Cnllins Colo

By z. B. HOUSE, Colorado Agricultural
College, Fort Collins. Colo)
Excessive loads placed on wagons
with narrow tires are exceptionally
bad for any road. Tractors using
wheels upon which are cIeats, or any
thing that will cut through or injure
the road surface should never be al
lowed on country roads. Disk har-
rows and in fact any cultivating tool
should be kept off the road. If it
is necessary to move them along the
road, place them upon drag, stone
boat, or haul them to the field on a
wagon. If dragged over the road,
they will scar the road badly, break
through the surface and start dsin-
tegration. No road is in such poor
condition as to warrant abuse of this
kind.

to which it was screwed. Suitable
wooden blocks were fastened to the
body for the hinge and lock, these
parts being purchased at cost of
90 cents. Instead of having the door
hinged forward, the hinge was placed
at the rear. Metal fasteners were
made for each door and these secured
as door hooks. These fasteners hold
the doors open about three inches, and
when driving, a stream of cool air en-
ters the front-opening door, passing
out at the opposite side. This change,
which cost less than So, is well worth
the price for the convenience alone,
making entry and exit from the driv-
er's seat possible without disturbing
person in the seat at. his side.

HADN'T TAKEN HIM FOR THAT
Nothing in Nuptial Contract Stipu-
lated That Woman Had United
Herself to Brass Band.

The trifling causes that some people
set forth in seeking divorce came
up for discussion at a social gather
ing, when the following anecdote was
related by William A. Smith of Mich
igan:
Some time since a woman entered
the office of a lawyer, and on being
asked the nature of her business by
the legal light, declared with a posi-
tive air that she wished to sue for
separation from her husband.
"Just a moment" responded the
lawyer. Lets begin at the begin
ming. Why do you wish divorce?"
Because my husband snores." an
swered the would-be-client. He shores
so loudly that cannot Sleep"
"That is something, of course" re-

June weddings make a bright paren-
thesis in the grave story of war times
Just as many lovely brides grace just
as many beautiful bridal professions
this June as in Junes gone by-and
the joy they radiate Is more than ever
welcome. No one expects the bride to
curtail any of her privileges on her
great day. 1t comes but once in life

Society countenances the pretty ex-
travagances of the wedding pageant
and styles play into the hands of those
who plan them. Malines and georgette
crepe make the more than ever pic
turesque hats for bridesmaids. Some
of these have wells of malines extend
ed into scarfs that swathe the throat
and partly cover the face. Special
thought has been bestowed on the ma
tron of honor-the most dignified mil
linery featuring her position. In

flower girls small soft hats of narrow,

the matron of honor wore a wide
brimmed hat of sand-colored malineS

mantle of malines to match with collar
Of gold lace The bridesmaids rejoiced
in wide hats of pink georgette crepe
with big, soft poppies made of the
same material, set about the crown.
For brides who decide against the
conventional white satin and long veil,
pretty hats of white malines and small
white flowers have been provided with
