ON BEING CORRECTLY SUITED.

Other features of the new styles,
that can be gathered from any repre-
sentative showing. reveal that high
shoes continue to be very high as COM
pared to high shoes of few seasons
ago. The fact that skirts have been
heightened little has made no differ
ence. The very high shoe is more trim
than the moderately high shoe and
more practical. The uppers In these
shoes are of cloth just as often as Of
kid AS fine kid is not the sort of
leather that Is needed In the army
there is no reason why the very high
shoe should not be worn with clear
conscience. But cloth tops are just as
attractive and just as desirable as the
kid and maybe little easier to keep
clean.
Oxfords and slippers will divide
horiors with high shoes for street and
sports wear this summer. In all of
them toes are somewhat pointed but
not to the length of discomfort. Con-
siderable decoration In perforations
appears on all styles of shoes as may
be gathered from the group pictured
here which includes a high walking
shoe, oxfords and dress slipper. The
high shoes are in black kid with COM
nonsense Cuban heel. Wherever a
seam is required for Joining the diff
ferent parts of the shoe. there perfor-
ations occur. And the toes have a
small pattern that is purely decora-
tive.
The oxfOrds are In tan leather, fin
ished in much the same way as the

Dual Character In Men.

Most men are two characters under
the same hat. On the outside the one
wears mask of civility, good COM
radeship and progress. On the inside
is the Crouch. the scold, the pessimist.
Often the opposite is true. The outer
man is crusty. exacting and may even
be repellent. His other self Is the
warm. true soul that longs for love and
shows up best with a few chosen
friends. In either case life is con-
stant contradiction. The men are real.
Each has his followers and each has
his special task in the world. The
unfortunate thing IL we don't always
get men at their best and 30 lose much
of the better vision that would help
take little of the harshness from the
old world.-Pennsylvani Grit.

New Linens.

The new linens for household use
show II great deal more lace trimming
than has been the fashion in some
time, and the favored lace seems to be
filet. Handsome towels Of linen da-
mask have strips of filet above the hem
and above the filet delicate hand
embroidered pattern. Tea cloths
show a filet edge with line of hem
stitching an inch above, and a filet
square In one corner with hand en-
broidery trailing about 1t. An inter
esting card table cover Is of white lin
en- with filet border and filet squares
mt each corner showing the card sym
bols--heart, diamond, club and spade
each worked delicately into the filet
mesh. Lovely dresser sets have filet
trimming In butterfly pattern, and to
match these there are guestroom tow
els trimmed with the butterfly hlet.

The vagaries of spring suits are
many-as suits go. Heretofore 1t has
been left to afternoon and other
dresses to give us unlimited variety to
choose from while the tailored suit
appeared true to form. in few very
well defined styles. This season the
tailored suit is indulging many fan
cies of Its own. There are suits with
very short coats, suits with Eton jack
cts, many suits with waistcoats and
good many eccentricities in coats.
Skirts are nearly always plain, but
few exceptions to this rule appear in
skirts to be worn with coats that are
high at the back-an echo of the
bustle dress of last winter.
With this variety in styles to choose
from, 1t becomes easy to be correctly
and becomingly suited. The waistcoat.
which Is the most interesting feature
in the new suit styles, Is made in as
many ways as suits themselves and is
becoming to almost everybody, but II
1t proves unbecoming or impractical

features In the styles, as the uneven
length of coats at the bottom and the
abundance Of braid trimming.

through long ages. Even after the in-

Making New Records

The growth of the receipts of milk
at the local plant Of the Helveti;. COM
'any has been very marked of Ia
and some days it closely crowds the
$4,000 pound mark. Several times it
has been above $4,000, but never quite
reaches the higher mark. The Null
vane plant, which was shut down O
few days on account of shortage of
cans, caught fire just as it was ready
to start again and as result will be
shut down several weeks. The short
age of tin has kept Manager Stocker
of the Lamar plant nervous but he has
always been just enough ahead to keep
going. The local plant is paying a
higher price for milk than any plant
in the state, and is steadily growing in
receipts. They have one Of the largest
plants here that there is in the United
States, and can easily handle more
than three times the milk they are
now receiving.

SANTA FEE TRAIL MEETING
Large Crowd of Citizens Gather at
Elks Club Rooms Tuesday To Dis
cuss Proposed Change

Word having been passed along the
line of the Santa Fe Trail the first OF
the week that movement is ON eoot
to attempt to get he Old Trails Asso-
Citations to change the ruote of, the
Santa F'e Trail so as to leave the old
trail at Great Bend, Kansas, and go
west along the Missouri Pacific in
stead of the Santa Fe route, mass
meeting of citizens of Lamar was held
at the Elks club rooms on Tuesday
evening to take steps to combat the
proposition. There was considerable
discussion of the various features of
the case, but it was finally decided
that three delegates would be sent to
a meeting to be held Saturday at Gar
den City for the purpose of combating
the change. The Y. NJ. b. A. will send
one delegate, the garage men one and
the hotel men another. The proposed
change would divert considerable tour
list traffic, and at the same time leave
many of the visitors to the state with
out a chance to see the best and rich
est agricultural section of Colorado.
They would go away thinking it was
only a stock growing section. Also
the best portion of western Kansas
would also be shut out, and the towns
there can be relied on to join in a
red hot fight to prevent the change.

with making remarks to the effect
that President Wilson should have
been drowned with the American SOL

was worse than Kaiser Bill. We did
not suppose that any American citi-
zen could hold such sentiments as
that, much less have the effrontcry to
give voice to them. There is no room
here for such and they should be
locked up or doported. Tbs U. S. dis
trict attorney now has the case in
charge and his action is awaited with

$BACK YARD POULTRY

Uncle Sam expects you to keep hens
and raise chickens, even though you
do reside in a town or city.
Two hens in the back yard for each
person in the house will keep fam
lily in fresh eggs.
The smallest back yard has room
for flock large enough to supply the
house with eggs. The cost of main
tanning such flock is small.
Table and kitchen waste provides
much of the feed for the hens and
they require but little attention.
An interested child, old enough to
Take little responsibility, can care
for few fowls as well as a grown.
person.
Every back yard should contribute
ITS share to bumper crop" of poul-
try and eggs in 1918. Perhaps not
all will find it profitable to raise
chicks in town, but nearly everyone
can well keep few hens. The OBJ
lection to the Growing of the cock"
can be overcome by keeping no cock.
This will not affect egg production in
the least.
The house for the backyard flock
should be inexpensive. A piano box
or other large box may readily be
converted into suitable residence for
the hens, and the runs may be very
small.
Good hens, well cared for. will pro.
nuce from ten to fifteen dozen eggs
annually.

Pig Skins, Now Wasted, Good
For Shoes, Finest SaddIery,
And Fancy Leather Articles

There has been. an enormous do.
crease in cattle and hogs in tbe JTnited
States and elsewhere. There are A.
ooo'ooo fewer hogs in this country than
tpere were year ago. Hogs play q
most important part in the present
crisis. The losses from cholera have
been enormous. and the government Is
sending hog cholera experts into the
states to help in the work of cholera
control.
there is one source of, loss that
should be considered, and it does not
pertain to disease, writes George III.
Glover of the Colorado Agricultural
college. Leather is scarce. and in the
countries that have been the longest in
war, the scarcity of leather is possibly
causing the most concern. Pig skins
are wasted and they make the finest
OF leather. 1t has been tested. and
found to be highly satisfactory for
shoes and it makes the finest saddle
and fancy leather goods.
The rind on pork chops is not nee
essary, In the modern methods of cur
ing meats. 1t Is paid for by the con-
sumner, Is total loss, and Is a con-
slant menace because of the fact that
uncooked pork rinds in garbage spread
hog cholera.
Of all the domesticated animals
the hog is the most prolific, makes the
greatest gains, provides the greatest
variety of food products, thrives on
the greatest variety of foods and or
dinarily gives the quickest returns on
the investment. At the present time
nothing should be wasted. Why not
save the pig skin?

Efficient Lovemaking Man
Is One Favored by Majority
OF Women, Asserts a Writes

To woman the most interesting
thing about man is, his relation ia
women. His manner of loving-or re.
fusing to love-is what really interests
her. According to writer in the New
York Mail, when a woman meets a
man she sizes him up, not as a LAWYER
or musician, or an actor, but as
lover What sort of husband would
ne make?
Says Miss Sydney Shields, once n
newspaper woman, now an actress: "a
certain physician, friend of mine
once told me that, other things he
ing equal, a woman would In nine
cases out of ten choose man who had
loved many won N in preference TO q
man who had loved none. Most scien-
lists agree with this
i think 1t is Havelock Ellis who ex-
plains it In this wises Experience
with many women gives mans choice
greater value, and, secondly, the more
a man has sinned in this direction
the greater the .woman's chance to
raise him to her own level. Every
woman will admit that she prefers the
mar whom other women desire. AS
"Abe" Potash remarks, woman looks
on every other woman as competi-
tor. Even If other women don't really
desire. the husband whom she loves
she will still imagine they do, and
woman's imagination let loose is a
fearful and wonderful thing.
