The dressier separate skirts are
made of supple weaves in silk: their
wearers sharing favOrs among satins,
silk poplin and tricolet. Satin. 1t al
most goes without saying, is first in i'm
portance-it is used for about all the
outer garments of women. from hats
to slippers. Trcolet is n novel fabric
b. comparison, but is approved by the
most smartly dressed women, and
poplins are tried and familiar to every
one.
Besides these silks for dressy sepa-
rate skirts there are novelties in heav-
ier weaves for sport skirts. The sport
skirt. in fact, has reached heights of
beauty and style far in advance of any
thing in its animated and remarkable
history. Possibly the restraint and re-
serve that marks wartime designing
has operated to the advantage of
sport apparel. But the time is COM
ing when Il new class, with new
name, will be formed for many of the
smart. informal garments that now
come labeled for sport wear.
A handsome separate skirt, to be
worn with a dark or light blouse, pre-
sents its new style features in the pic
ure. OF course it has panels TO make

| it eligible to the company of other
fashionable clothes-the panel is al
ways among those present in any as
semblage of new apparel. There are
three of them. one at the front and
two, shorter, at either side-all fin
ished with fringe. The shaped girdle,
with pointed end, is of the satin and
the skirt is, nOticeably longer than
skirts have been FOR several seasons.
This particular skirt is in one of the
rich shades of terra cotta-which color
is called by several new names this
season as mahogany rust" and "es-
carole." The last describes it best.
But in any of the fashionable colOrs, 1t
only needs a blouse of georgette to
match it to place handsome costume
at the command of its owner. With
lighter blouses one has the advantage
of variety and it remains separate
skirt.

is in a smooth-surfaced cloth; it
might be duyetyn, wool velours or
broadcloth, in deep gray with collar
and emplacements in the coat of Hud-
son seal. The coat has a diagonal
front, fastening with a very large fiat
button in gray to the left front. 1t
is extended into points at the front
and back. The high muffler collar is
convertible-the cuffs very deep, in
gauntlet style, and finished with
small cloth-coyered buttons. In many
suits there are combinations of two
materials. and this model carries the
idea out by uniting cloth and fur.
A very simple and practical suit of
velours appears at the right. the coat

Young Fiddle was very learned
young man, and his friends were all
very disappointed, not to say surprised,
when he refused to accept the degree
of doctor of divinity. One of his col.

"Ah, WE'LL" replied the learned young
man, "it's enough to be named Fiddle.

men shortly will be called to the
colors. T e Provost Marshal
General has ordered that men
actively, assiduously, and COM
p.etely engaged in the planting
or cultivation of a crop but who
are listed in Class / of the draft
and within a new quota should
be deferred until tae ehd of the
quota. The local draft boards,
being judicial bodies, cannot de-
fer the call of such men, how
ever, unless the farmers employ
ing them support their claims
for such classification with affi-
davits. 1t is therefore of vital
Importance that farmers imme-
diately execute and file such
affidavits with the local boards.
Ii farmers whose hands are af-
fected in this new call fail to fol-
low this advice, they should have
no cause for complaint if their
men are taken from them at this
critical time. 1t will be useless
and unreasonable later to protest
if they have done nothing to re-
tain their help.
Immediate action now, on the
part OF every farmer whose en-
ployees are affected is essential
and should not be delayed under
any circumstances.

Eradicate the Ticks.

Eradication of cattle fever
ticks from Grant Parish is to be
vigorously prosecuted from now
on. The arrival Friday of DR.. R.
E. Gopperton, Federal inspector
of the Bureau of Animal Indus
try to remain in the parish until
the work is completed assures
us that with the proper co-opera-
ton of cattle owners the work
of the eradication is an easy mat
ter when 100 per cent OF the
stock infected, are dipped every
IA days with out intermission.
There are three generations of
ticks in a season, spring, summer
and fall crop, and in order to
complete the work in one season
we must begin dipping now to
get the spring crop, those who
fail to dip early will be obliged
to dip another year.
To eradicate ticks we must stop
reproduction and the way to do
it is to dip those that get on the
stock, and those remaining on
the ground will starve out in a
seasons time, as they do not be-
come sexually mature on the
ground, they remain.dormant. do
not grow and cannot reproduce,
consequently tick eradication is
a matter of systematic compli-
ance with the government in
structions of dipping every Ia
days all cattle and infested horses
and mules for about Is dippings
and the work is done.
1t must be remembered that
cattle fever ticks do not inhabit
the bodies of other animals and
it is not required to dip rabbits,
dogs, squirrels and such other
animals to eradicate the fever
tick.
An average gain of 100 pounds
in beef. Is percent in milk, and
so to 100 per cent improvement
in the calves is assured, and all
stock will winter better on less
feel when made tick free.

Investigations regarding the causes OF
these explosions and subsequent fires
nave not proved conclusively what are
the difficulties to be avoided. In eight
cases the explosions are believed to
have originated from the sparks pro-
.duced in the machines during the
grinding process. Tiny particles of

Results of the Election.

( Only about one half the voters in
this town availed themselves of the
opportunity to vote Tuesday, the prin-
cipal cause, no doubt, being the absence
OF any local contest for office. Of the
total of 1877 votes cast, 53 were for the
straight Republican ticket and 81
straight Democratic tickets, the large
number of split ballots being due, prob
ably, to the desire of many Republicans
to vote for Orrin G.. Robertson of this
