Just how few pairs of shoes can we
get along with this summer? That's
the question that women are called
upon to settle for themselves, now
that wartime economy calls for re-
trenchment on all sides. Secretary
McAdOo says he has his shoes half
soie6 when they need it-and appears
course to every one else. Leaving out
house slippers and evening slippers
that need not come in the reckoning at
all, three pairs of good shoes will see
one through. This will seem an i'm
possibly slim allowance to the woman
pairs, but three pairs will answer.
There is no economy in having only
one pair of street shoes, because they
wear much longer and look much bet
ter when two pairs are worn alter
nately. Shoe trees keep them in good
shape when they are not in use and
are as necessary to shoes as hangers
are to coats and frocks.
A wartime summer outfit in shoes
might follow the suggestion in the
group Of three pairs shown in the pic
ture. These do not include shoes
made solely for sportswear, which can
be considered beside the question of
shoes that are Indispensable. All the
shoes pictured are in the best mate
rails and workmanship, which are
matters of real economy in footwear.
They include pair of substantial
black kid street shoes, pair of smart
white canvas oxfords and kid pumps
for dress.

costumes, we may pass by, but not
without casting one lingering, longing
look behind. Black satin trousers. and
jacket, bordered with gold satin and
embroidered. in gold colored silk make
negligees that one will never tire of.
Vivid and audacious shades of green
with touches of brilliant colors In
embroidered decorations are wonder
full in georgette or in satin. Turquoise
and bluebird are good choices in color,
and then there is gold color and paler
yellows that tighten up a room like
sunlight. These new negligees invite
us to explore the world of color and
to become as brilliant as tropical birds.

One of the Smart New Wells.

1t was rather wide veil of a pref.
ty, silky heXagonal mesh, black, and
it was being draped around a small
fiower-wreathed turban. The interest,
ing thing about it was the border; that
was composed of silvery gray cojr
spots-the size of q Scent piece. "a
single row on the long edge of the veil
and a double row across each end. II
was simple decoration, but, as the
skillful milliner caught up the folds OF
the veil and fastened them at the back
it hung in graceful drapery.

Different Shades of One Color.

The combination of different shades
in the same color is a very smart note
in millinery just now; this is noticed,
perhaps, most in the tortoise shell col
orings. An attractive small hat Of
Milan has an upturned side brim and
this is trimmed in very light shade of
apple-green wheat, which is laid thick
ly about the crown sides and topped by
a row of foliage in the color Of the

Sleeves much wider just below the
elbow are usually cut a little short CT
the wrist or are gathered into tight
cuff. This idea is also beginning to ap-
pear on coats which have wider arm
holes and loose sleeves.

THE RIGHT STUFF.

A certain gentlemen came to as last
week and remarked that after reading
an editorial which appeared in this
paper, he threw down the paper and
no he didn't "cuss'' the editor or the
paper--he went up to the Canaan
National Bank and subscribed for q
$500 Liberty Bond. News of this kind
la highly gratifying to us and we hope
that there have been others who have
followed this excellent example.
Under different circumstances we
might have said: Hslleluja! Glory Be |!
etc. but as 1t is we mercy said: Good
work, old top. you've got the right
stuff in you only its buried little
deeper than in some of us and it there
fore requires little harder digging to
bring it to the surface.
Few people realize that failure on
the part Of any individual who is
financially able to purchase bonds has
more than local influence. In con.
versation with representative of the
Federal Reserve bank. this official
stated that certain party was to be
blacklisted at Washington because
there was no reason whatsoever for
failing to subscribe for Liberty bonds.
What effect this blacklistiDg will have
we do not know, but we do know that
few people would care to have notoriety
of this kind.

Maine, was cut in half because of the
attack of a fungus disease. Potato
bugs take their toll all over the coun-
try. No section is free from the early
blight. The business farmer foresees
all these troubles, and insures to pro-
tect himself against loss from bugs,
beetles and blights.
The diagram shows something of the
increase of the potato crop which may
be expected from spraying. At the left
of the heavy vertical line are shown
the crops grown either without spray
ing or with only the half-spray-the
spray which "gets" the bugs but does
not prevent the blights. At the right
the crop has received a complete spray.
Spraying has evidently done more than
merely guarantee to the farmer that
he will get back what he puts into the
crop-for it has turned a splendid
profit.
How Potato Spraying Brings Results.
TheseNastonishing results are secured
only by proper spraying. First, the
poison of the spray kills the potato
beetles. Second, the spray so discour-
ages the destructive flea beetles as to
cut down by nine-tenths the damage
which they do. Third, the early blight
Is prevented, and the vines allowed to
come to full maturity. Fourth, tip
burn is reduced so it amounts to but
little; and fifth, the potato blight and
rot is stopped.

4, Place de la Concorde, Paris.
When Germany plunged the world in
war the United States waited-hOping
against hope-but there were some
Americans who did not wait.
You found them, here and there, in
the ranks of the British army, among
the Canadians and in the Foreign Lee
gion of France
You found them, too, soldiers of hui
manity, driving ambulances behind the
French front and feeding the men, wo-
men and children of Belgium under the
very shadow of German authority and
"reminiscences.
Today, though its work has not
stopped, the Commission for Relief in
Belgium must do without the service
of the Americans in the field. Other
neutrals have been found to take their
places. The question has been asked:
What has become of the American
field workers of the Commission for
Relief in Belgium?
Some OF them are I'm France. They
who once had to work under the Ger
man flag are now proudly working I'M
der the flags of the two republics.
They are inside the lines.
Making Belgium and France Whole
Again.
One of them, Edward Eyre Hunt,
the former delegate for the province
Of Antwerp, is now chief Of the Blu
reau of Rehabilitation and Relief Of the
American Red Cross In France. He
has at least four of his old associates
working in that bureau.
L. @. Wellington, who used to care
for the welfare of the people of Lille
and Valenciennes and the Belgian
province of Luxembourg as representa-
tive Of the Commission for Relief in
Belgium. is now I'm charge of the Ar
ras district as representative Of the
American Red Cross, where he can al
most see the very towns for which he
cared in Belgian commission days.
w. B. Jackson, whose work for the
commission was at Liege, is now depu-
ty for the Somme district in France.
d. S. Morgan, likewise at Liege, is
with Mr.. Jackson.

It is not a charity they are working,
but they are cooperating with the peo-
pie of these lands to make a fresh
start, as the Germans are little by lit

How much does it cost YOU to raise
an acre of potatoes?
How much of your own labor, or
that of your men, goes into the potato
crop?
What is the cost of the fertilizer and
manure which you use on the crop?
How much does the seed cost you?

of the land?
What part of the money which you
put in do you actually get back?
The chances are that you cannot an
swer all of these questions. Probably
no one can. The figures will vary in
different cases. Yet what you know,
and what all potato farmers know, is
that this year labor costs more than
ever before, fertilizers are more diff

find. Your investment in the potato
crop will be more this year than it usu-

A QUESTION OF AREAS.

In 1916 both Michigan and New York
grew the same area of potatoes-ap-
proximately 100000 acres. On this
area the state of Michigan produced, in
round numbers, 100000 bushels of
potatoes. New York, for her share,
however, produced q, 100000 bushels
an increase of nearly so per cent.
With such a difference as this it is
apparent that In the work of food pro-
duction, the question Of soil manage
ment and Of crop management is Of ut
most Importance whenever 1t be-
comes profitable to do so, there In no
doubt that Michigan can increase hes

It is noticed that the Hartford

fact that Hartford AID few of its
surrounding towns have gone lover

North Canaan just two days to raise
it's quota of $33, 500, and Sharon,
Cornwall, New Milford and Goshen
soon came into line. salisbury
Joined the list to be entitled to the
honor flag yesterday. But the beauty
of it ali lies in the fact that the
spirit of winning the war at any cost
still runs high in these towns, and
they are still working and receiving

pears now that some OF the towns
named will double the quotas
assigned to them
