 Separate skirts are the next thought to such wide array of blouses. These are made for the most part, in silk and satin combination. For dreSSy wear the models are almost all in sWathed effect and separated at the helm for a few inches. Sparsely pfeated and con- serNatively draped are others, while for business or house wear we see the straight. pocketed and wide belted skirt which is graceful and in good taste. Silk faille which was so popular last summer will continue to be used for informal wear. and cotton fabrics in dark plaids will be worn by school girls, and why shouldn't all of us wear them? We should not scorn this de- partuTe, but should take pride in adopt ing it.

 The government has officially recog- nized twenty uniforms for women who are in various branches of the serv- ice. These include suits for ten branches of the Red Cross, for tele- phone operators, navy uniforms of several types, radio operators, food conservation frocls, and several oth CTS with which we are by this time familiar. Many women who are not actually serving at cantonments or in France. are in the branches which demand their time; so for five or six days of the week they wear their uni form and for their frivOls plan per haps a little dressier suit than if they wore it all the week.

 For the fall the slim silhouette will be even simmer. Suit coats will all be longer. say 42 inches. at least those of velveteen or substitute fabrics; those of wool will be slightly shorter and scant as to breadth. Skirts will be trifle longer. and will vary from yard and a half to two yards in Width-never over the latter
 Wide collars and cuffs will be the vogue. and fur trimming will be re- stricted to touch here and there This reaction was bound to come when we consider the lavish spread ing-on of belts for the last few sea sons. Fabrics will include Fvora cloth, cashmere -velours. duxetyn, tri cotine and granada. These made into suits will command a very high price and no doubt before the season is well advanced will prove something of problem to the shopkeepers for we are surely coming to regula tions restricting us to silks and cot tons, or at most combinations of WOO and silk.

 The new silhouette clings closer to the figure, tapers at the ankle, and drapes where one least expects it. The black satin dinner gown has become a sort of habit, along many delightful and becoming lines. and there seems to be no forecast of an abatement of it's popularity.

FALL FASHIONS
 CHIC, NEAT AND
 VERY PATRIOTIC

year ago we were trying to save and we were being nice about it, but We were buying wool as frantic ally as ever, only more so. And we were on positively familiar terms with all the familiar fabrics, such as tricotine velours de laine, duvetyn, silvertone and all the rest of them
 Along in the middle of the season we began to look ,askance at the serious treatises in the papers con- cerning yardage restrictions on wool terms. And today we are facing a possible famine. for unless we put our shoulders to the wheel of con servation there will be a shortage which will not only disappoint poor Mother Hubbards, but will do a far worse injury by depriving those whose right it is to have every inch of wool we can gather and scrape to send to them. Indeed the ultimate consumer suffers the least for she is concerned mostly with how little she may get along with, while the poor retailer lies awake nights won dering how he may profit without becoming one of those loathsOme creatures-a war profiteer; and man. ufactures have received question naires, the contents of which have not been made public. except that they contain recommendations for saving goods in cutting, regulations for length of coats, etc. So we should be duly thankful for all last years clothes
 haul them out, nip them in (always in this year), and send the nips to the war shop for patches. Health and not vanity is the watchword this year. and we should. insofar as we can. wear cotton and silk, and remember how uncomplainingly our grandmothers wore wrappers of calico and padded and interlined, through the long, cold winters of the Civil war Little did they dream, as they hoped for brighter

ID POOL FUNDS AND
 EFFORTS IN WAR IN
 PREDATORY ANIMALS

The committee of the state council ot defense on cooperation with the United States Biological Survey and the Agricultural Extension department or the University of Arizona met yes terday in the office of the state coun- ell of defense to formulate plans for making the work oi eradicating preda- tory animals and rodent pests as prac- tical and efficient a. possible.
 Chairman Dwight E. Heard presided over the deliberation and Professor J. J. Thoubur was appointed secretary Other members present were Senator Charles Roberts of Wilcox, President Charles P. Mullen of the Arizona Cattle Growers association, Robert E. Walton, cattleman from Winslow, James l.. Edwards, extensive farmer of Yuma. John D. Lee, cattleman and angora goat raiser. Thatcher; Jack Barber, cattleman from Gila county, and Dr. R. H. Williams from the Uni versity of Arizona.
 This representative group of mem bers agreed on the basis of co-opcra- tion and authorized the chairman to sign the agreement with the other CO., operating association. The work was outlined in detail. it being agreed that 'ut | Itltu NldttS DlOIOSltdl SUI " v have charge of the practical field op- erations and direction of the men and funds allotted for this campaign of eradicating noXious animals.
 1 As a. result of this agreement the s25,000 appropriated by the United States department of agriculture and the s25.OOO allotted by the special ses- sion of the legislature will be pooled l in tho int of nffipionpN- ] D. A. Gilchrist representing the United States Biological Survey. vii be local field man in rodent pests, and M. F.. Musgrave will direct the war or predatory animals.
 These men have had many years experience in this work and they are definitely assigned to Arizona to di- rect the statewide campaign. State funds will be apportioned to the coun- ties according to the amount of fund; paid in taxes based on the 1918 assess ment values.
 A resolution was passed requesting that all bounties paid by country su- ! pervisors. live stock associations ant individuals be paid into the common fund and expended under the direc. ton of the United States Biologica Survey in the districts where saiC funds were collected. This will mea1 greater efficiency in eradicating tn, noxious animals. The farmers anC stockmen in the state are back of thi

COWS BRING S16O
 PER HEAD AT SAlE

One of the most successful public sales conducted in this vicinity the present season was held on Wednes- day for Daniel Hess, the autcioneer being C. H. Price.
 Cows sold at this sale as high as s16o per head, 19 COWS averaging s122 per head, which apparently proves that the people of this valley still have confidence in the dairy business and that good COWS are in demand.
 Horses also sold well, bringing as high as S15250 per head.

CHICKENS TAKE FIRST PLACE
some Reasons Why They Lead in
Scheme OF Poultry Production
Utilize Much Waste.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Chickens, in any general scheme of
poultry production, of course must take
first place. They are best adapted to
general conditions, take a wider range
of feeds and convert them, perhaps,
with the greatest margin of profit.
Chickens, better than any other class
OF poultry, utilize table scraps and
the general run of waste from the
kitchen door, all the way from apple
and potato parings to sour milk. Chick
ems far surpass all other kinds of poul-
try In salvaging waste grain from the
stables, from the shed or lot where
the cattle are fed, and from hog pens.
During the winter months on farms
where any considerable number of live
stock are kept, the hens would take
their living from these sources with
only slight additional feeding from
time to time. Chickens are great de-
stroyers of insects, including many in.
furious forms, in yard, pasture and
orchard. They utilize also many
grasses and weeds, and seeds from the
same, that would otherwise be of no
use. Except in isolated instances the
part of wisdom would be, undoubtedly,
to keep more chickens than all other
kinds of poultry combined, but there
should be, in a majority of cases, some

GRADED ROAD IN CONDITION

The graded road can be kept in the
best condition with the least labor by
using the road drag. The road drag
scrapes off the projections and fills up
the low places, thus leaving no places
for water to stand, which Is what
causes the road bed to soften and be
cut into ruts. A persistent use of the
road drag will keep the road bed well

will also result in the least dust, as
the dust comes largely from the grind
