or Parents.

Clothes for the young girl, and even
for the very little girl. reflect the style
features of the grown folks garments
to ! marked degree. Coats, eapes'
dresses and even hats indicate that the
discrepancy in generations is decreas'-
ing: old folks are growing younger,
donning the more youthful styles, ana
Young folks are attaining dignity.
There are no coIors and styles that
are "young" or "old." They are now

their so-called elders by being just a
little more daring in the smartness OF

In the pond we're a number of bea-
YER houses which looked like small In.
dian tepees, writes Samuel Scoyille,
Jr., in Boys Life. Most Of them were
built in water several feet deep and
were from three to four feet above
the surface and about FIVE feet in di-
ameter. One, however, was a huge
one, built in deep water, and fully
twice as large as any other. 1t was
made mostly of peeled cottonwood
poles and stood on firm foundation
of mud and sticks built up from the
bottom. The poles leaned together
from the top and had been woven II
and out with thick brush and plast
cred with mud and turf until the walls
were three feet thick.

County Fair to It's county and citi-

opportunity of seeing for themselves
what others have done under prac-
tcauy the same conditions of weather
and soil as they, themselves, have
worked; but often with widely diff
ferlng results. 1t annually brings
people from the far ends Of the coun

amusement, which is as necessary TO
human happiness as an innocent con-
science; ana, while furnihsing enter
