Elder Writes to NageI.

He approves the following letter he
received from J. F. Elder, food admin
istrator for Lee county, who is in close
contact with farmers surrounding
Keokuk and hears their complaints on
the new ordinance. Mr.. Elder writes
Mr.. Nagel:
"It seems to me very unfortunate
that the city council should at thu
time pass an ordinance requiring the
measuring of wood sold in the city OF
Keokuk. l am meeting farmers VINO
say they can not handle wood on this
basis. For instance those people buy
ing wood on the outskirts OF town
necessitate the farmer or wood hauler
coming down town and then back
again with his load. It will certainly
curtail the wood used in Keokuk this
year.
mo attempt has been made by the
city council to see that the people or
Keokuk should get milk with the prop
er amount of butter fat required by
law. Why worry aoout cord wood?'

 MERRY CHRISTMAS, AGAIN
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-07-27

Ordinarily, the combination of blue silk with black and gray would be too nun-like and subdued for any young person to wear. But so many young women nowadays feel constrained to wear these subdued colors. In spite of the fact that people are more and more taking to the sensible idea of avoiding wearing mourning colors, nevertheless, whe1 there is concern and anxiety for someone at the front there is little desire to deck oneself in bright colors.
 This young woman insisted on some thing quiet and subdued, and the dress of sombre colors is relieved by the girlishness of the soft, but inconspic- uous fril1 at throat and cuffs.
 A gown of this kind can be worn with almost any color hat, although it demands a -brimmed model. A charming effect is obtained with this large leghorn. yelled in gray organdie and made cheerful by a few pink blooms around the crown.
 But it would look equally well-and to some types of figure and complex ion even better-if worn with a hat of more striking color. A rose-red chiffon, or even a bright cherry red with this particular shade of blue, is attractive and girlish without being overly conspicuous.
