! NO MORE BOND DRIVES

CECRETARY of the Treasury Glass
- has made two announcements Of
greatest importance. One is that all
but billion dollars of the Victory Loan
has been paid in so that all certificates
Of the Treasury due up to July l are
called in for redemption. The other is
that no more popular loans will be
asked.
If this statement meets the actual
situation it will be gratifying to the
American public. At the same time it
must be remembered that others inter-
ested in our financing feel that another
loan is impending. Doubtless events of
the next six months will determine re-
suits.
In the meantime the refreshing fact
that the Victory Loan is so nearly paid
indicates that our finances from pop
ular standpoint are satisfactory, since
final payments are not due until Mo-
vember. The bonds of this loan have
been selling substantially at par with
little prospect Of lower price. -Phila.

GET DOWN TO BUSINESS

THE Manufacturers Record has been

Rproper time to get down to business.
and it comes to the conclusion that now
as the time. The war has turned the
world topsy-turvy and many men have
been waiting until it rights itself.
They are waiting to adjust themselves
to changed conditions. But there is
such tn ing as waiting too long, and

B. But the PREDICTION is made that
next year, and maybe before that time,
the labor shortage will be so great that
business men and farmers will be
scrambling for men. Hence the Manu-
facturers' Record advises the prudent
ones to take the lesson of preparedness
to heart.
The wise man will accept conditions
instead Of waiting for them to change.

prosperity which is bound to come.

MORE LIVE STOCK PRODUCED
Increase in Pork In West Virginia
More Than Million and One-Half
Pounds-SiIage Is Fed.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agricultural
County agents of West Virginia, in
carrying out the program Of the Unit
ed States department Of agriculture
and the state agricultural college to
increase food production, last year en-
couraged the farmers of the state to
keep additional sows, the result be-
ing that these sowS produced 1922
pigs, which increased West Virginia's
pork production by more than a mil
lion and. half pounds. The value OF
good blood in live stock breeding has
been one of the things particularly en-
phasized by the agents and thereby
16.446 cows were bred to registered
sires instead Of scrubs, which meant
an increased value at birth of calves
Of at least $164, 400, it is estimated.
The agents report that 1920 cattle
were fed silage for the first time last
winter with resultant saving Of not
less than $4,000 to their owners. Ewes
to the number Of $685. were bred to
registered rams instead of scrubs with
prospective increased value Of the
lamb crop of upward Of $500. Sheep
numbering 4,225 and valued at more
than sd, 900 were saved from the raw
ages Of parasites through the activi-
ties Of the various county agents.

The long cloak, arriving little late
but in force, finishes up the process
sion of spring outer garments and is
the last word in wraps. 1t is the very
logical result of the liking for capes
and the vogue of narrow skirts. for it
follows in their wake, being q loose
and graceful affair that narrowS at
the bottom, SO as not to interfere with
the silhouette which results from the
new skirts. These new cloaks are not
destined to diminish the vogue of
capes but will have the opposite eff
feet; their general .capelike appear

Besides velours and the heavier fab
RIGS, there are capes and cloaks made
of tricotine, mems wear serge and
other substantial wool materials. For
dressy wear satin capes lined with
peau de cygne forecast cloaks of the
same. The wool capes are usually
silk lined. The new, heavy weaves in
trade-marked silks are entering the
field also and open new vistas to the
designer of cloaks. But popular al
legiance still makes cloaks of velours
and similar cloths, soft and rich look
ing, the most desirable of the new
models.
A very good example of such cloak
is shown in the picture. Its fullness

have been maintained. Those Of swine
and sheep have been increased, the
former largely, the latter slightly. But
the quantities of forage and pasturage
for live stock have been diminished.
Sound agricultural practice de-
mands, the department thinks, the re-
establishment of regular and satisfac-
tory rotations so that fertility may be
restored and the live stock carrying
capacity of the land increased.
Live stock, since it helps to retain
fertility on the land, provides a profit
able use for large amounts of rough
age and gives employment to labor
throughout the year, should find a
place on larger number Of farms.
Diversified farming should become
more general, to the end that each
farm shall produce the necessary food
for its family and the necessary feed
for it's live stock.
Loss from preventable plant dis
eases should be guarded against by
seed treatment and spraying.
Harvesting of fruits and vegetables
before exposure to frost, and greater
care during harvesting, packing, stOr-
ing, and marketing, are urged, togeth-
er with continued organized efforts
for the prevention and control Of dis
eases of animals.

Many of these new cloaks have the eff
feet of being very narrow about the
bottom-but this Is the result of the
way in which they are draped. BY
the same means frocks are made to
look narrower than they are. The
cloak must, of course, allow freedom
in walking, but its appearance is often
misleading in this regard.

JAP ADVERTISERS NOT SLOW
Experts of the occident Might Even
Borrow Few Ideas From Their
Oriental Colleagues.

An advertising man who has re-
turned recently from the Orient says
the Japanese merchants and manu-
facturers who have occasion TO make
use of printed's ink are not disposed
to limit themselves to dull, prOsaic
statements concerning the excellence
Of their wares. Among the entertain
ing bits that the traveller noticed in
his study Of Japanese advertising are
these:
Goods dispatched expeditiously as
a cannon ball"
parcels done up with such loving
as a. wife bestOws upon her husband"
1.-THE print of our books is clear MS
crystal; the matter charming as a
singing girl"
customers are treated as politely
as by rival steamship companies"
sour silks and satins are as smooth
as a lady's cheeksand colored like the
rainbow"
1t ought to be possible to get ad-
vertisements read in Japan without
scattering them around next to pure
reading matter."--Dayton News.

Midsummer blouses are made in
such numbers of either georgette or
voile, that there is not much else to
consider in blouses. There Is no room
to doubt that these two fabrics are
far and away the favorites. They Are
the loveliest of materials and the most
reliable as well, and are made In a
wide variety Of plain and printed
patterns and in embroidered varieties
that are to be had wherever there Is
a dry goods store. The study of mid
summer blouses is, therefore, mostly a
study Of designs to be worked out in
either wolfe or geOrgette. The pres
emit season offers a variety Of design
that is wonderful in both plain and
figured materials, in white, in colors
and in color combinations.
The blouses pictured here are of
the plain fabrics. That at the left
is of flesh-colored georgette with YES
tee set in in white. Fine side plait-
ings Of the white georgette make the
dainty decoration that distinguishes
this from many lace-trimmed models.
The soft material is shirred In along
the shoulder seams and arranged in a
wide plat at each side of the vestee.
There are long, flowing sleeves, with
two rows of plating for finish and

crocheted buttons. set along the back
of the cuffs are important in the fin
fishing of this model. A front piece
set on over the body of the blouse is
long enough to extend below the waist
line and it forms a soft girdle about
the waist which it is fair to suppose
is tied at the back and has short
hanging ends. But some of the
blouses made In this fashion present
the girdle fastening at the back with
out hanging end.
Pipings of the material join the
cuffs to the sleeves and finish edges in
this model. In the plain waists of
other materials pipings are important
in the design, especially in the ele-
CANT tailored waists Of white satin.

Some hog men prefer to hand-feed
their pigs during the weaving period.
If we are to continue to eat beef
we must exert ourselves to produce
more beef cattle.
More pigs are lost between farrow-
ing and weaving than at any other
period.
Oats, scattered out thinly to force
exercise, are fed to brood sows by
many good hog men.
There are lot of cows in barns that
ought to be in tin cans. The cOw-test-
ing associations find them.
Mix salt, powdered charcoal and a
little copperas together and place in
shallow vessel where the pigs can eat
at will.
Should any of the pigs develop the
ailment known as thumps, remember
that the cause is too much feed, too
little exercise or sun, or both.
Sheep possess great ability to
renoyate the soil, keep down all kinds
of weeds and consume odds and ends
of feed that would otherwise be
wasted.
