Now that war times make the GUS

those that are more hOnored in the

have coats to take their place. Among
new ones are some very elegant cloth
coats that have been designed to see
their wearers through the day and

and beautiful in lines-equal to all re-
Quirements Of dress. Besides these
there are very handsome capes of cloth

Conservative Shoes for Fall.

Conservative colors and sensible
cuts, which are almost mannish in
their effect, are the features in shoes
for women for late fall business. Job
bers report that retailers are now
looking for shoes of this sort, not only
from the desire to steer clear of doubt
full novelties, but because, in the bust
pess which they have already done
over the counter for fall there has
aeen comparatively little demand for
anything else. Mahogany and dull
black calfskins are the most popular
in tailored walking boots, while in
shoes for more dressy wear black pat
ent feathers and few shades of gray
are selling.

DEMAND FOR MORE PORK

The serious decrease in hog
marketings during 1917 has
brought forth a demand that
farmers and pig-club members
materially increase their swine
production to meet the needs Of
our soldiers and our allies for
pork and pork products. Prop
err housing will be an important
factor in such increased produc-
ton, as it will reduce the
amount of feed consumed and
will prevent losses from expos
ure during winter, especially. In
some sections of the country the
farmers build larger and more
expensive houses than are neces-
sary, but in a great many places
too little attention Is given to
proper houses for swine.
