The time will soon be here for those
exciting and fascinating excursions to
the millinery shop in search of new
millinery, Of which much is expected.
Tue old millinery axiom that a hat is
becoming when one looks better with
1t on than without II, is a good thing
to bear in mind. At the very least we
expect hats, like mirrors, to 'be to
our faults little blind, and to our vir-
tues not unkind." Just how much the
right shape and the right cOlOrs can
do to transform a face, is measured
often by the long price which a small
bit of millinery commands. 1t Is the
intangible in millinery that is worth
more than anything else-the color
harmony, the beautifully balanced
lines, the poise of the hat on the
head and its appropriateness, that are
worth more than mere material.
No one understands this quite so
well as the woman who has reached
middle life, or passed it. She expects
her hats to do much for her in the
way Of enhancing her good points, and
designers who specialize successfully
In headwear for matrons turn fabrics

new models is shown at the right of

Recently American manufacturers
Of underwear have thought so well OF
their achievements that they have pro-
claimed themselves as the designers
of the styles now favored in lingerie.
They certainly are justified in taking
pride in the daintiness and attractive
ness of the garments ahey make in
sach quantities and they find II easy
to cultivate a taste for fine undermus-
Inns. American women are apprecI-
alive, but they are also practical and
they demand pretty but not too fragile
garments. Few of them run to the
extreme Of wearing chiffon or georg-
cite in indies. or care for bizarre de-
signing. In the main they like fine
weaves in cotton or crepe de chine for
materials. not too much trimmed with
fine and durable laces, hand embroid-
cry and other needlework. Hand
crochet In laces holds its own with
them. and has everything to recon-
mend IL.
OF course not much handwork is TO
be found on manufactured undernus-
Inns. but machinery has been made to
do wonderful work and sometimes 50
effectively that comparisons with hand
work are not BY any means odious to
the machine-made garment. Some
times the plain sewing on undermus-
Inns Is done by machinery and the
decoration by hand. But however
they may be put together and finished.

garments.

tractors. Last fall, when the first
ground was broken, there were fifty
monster machines at work tearing up
the prairie sod This spring others
were at work. They plowed on the
average one acre minute for the
working time. A record was made
on one day of 1850 acres turned and
broken. All the seeding, harvesting,
etc, was also done by tractors, and
then, of course, there are the thrash
Ing machines. Hence the absolute
uselessness of horses about this place.
One of the first problems Mr.. Camp
bell had TO solve was the number of
various kinds of machines that would
be required to do the work on the en-
tire farm. He solved this by dividing
the farm into units of 5000 acres and
then allowing certain period for
each OperatiOn-such as blowing, har-
rowing, seeding cutting, thrashing-on
each unit.
The 5,000-acre unit also has another
use. Mr.. Campbell, as active as he is,
couldn't reasonably be expected to
personally oversee work on 100000
acres of land throughout the season.
So each unit is put in charge tos a
competent farm manager, with gen.
eral foreman and crew Of men. Each
unit also has its group of permanent
and modernly-equipped buildings. II
is a gigantic proposition any way you
take 1t.
The Fayette falcon. (Somerville, Tenn.) 190?-current, 1919-08-15

The upshOt of the matter was that
a week or two later Mr.. Campbell was
In the presence of the secretary of the
Interior. The first thing the secre-
tary asked him was what kind of a
contract he wanted.
"Any kind" was the reply. Just so
! get chance to raise lot of
wheat.
what do you want for yourself?''
asked the secretary.
Nothing" Campbell replied. 81 am
willing to enroll with the dollar-a-year
men if the government finances the
project, and if finance it myself all
| want is a chance to break even"
That certainly made a hit with the
secretary. He saw that he was deal
ing with a real man, so he asked him
why he didn't make it 100000 acres In
stead Of the 10000 he had asked for
and added:
Gould you handle that many
acres?"
Certainly" replied Mr.. Campbell,
"only 1t will require more capital than
II had figured on"
Secretary Lane said he thought that
could be arranged and told Mr.. Camp
bell to 20 ahead and draw contract.
The contract was drawn and in due
time bore the signature of Secretary
Lane, all the bureau chiefs and Mr..
Campbell. The Indians, of course,
were well taken care of under the
terms of the contract. They will re-
ceive one-tenth of the crop during the
first FIVE years and one-fifth OF the
crop during the second five-year period
at the end of which time the lease
expires.
The next step was to finance the
project, so Mr.. Campbell hurried to
New York, presented himself at the
offices of J. P. Morgan & Co. and sent
in word that Secretary Lane had ask
ed him TO call on a matter of business.
Whether Mr.. Morgan had received adj
vance information of Mr.. Campbel's
coming or not is unimportant. The
fact remains that he was Immediately
invited in.
Mfr. Morgan listened while Mr..
Campbell told his story. At the end
of the story Mr.. Morgan asked how
much money would be required.
give million dollars" replied Mr..
Campbell without batting an eye.
"Very WELL" said Mr.. Morgan. "you
may have It. And If that isn't enough.
as much more will be available"
And so the 20O.0O0-acre wheat farm
came into existence. with Mr.. Camp
bell as president of the Montana
Wheat Farming corporation and gen
eral manager Of the whole project.
But about the absence Of horses
from the farm.
All Of the work is being done with

ably the largest in the world, is di-
rect result of the governments eff
forts to stimulate the growing of
wheat during tie last two years. The
farm is devoted entirely to wheat, and
II II produces somewhere around the
c0untry's average of % bushels per
acre, which is practically certain, II will
add approximately 5,656,000 bushels
to the 1919 wheat crop. At the gov
ernment's guaranteed price Of S2.26
cents bushel this represents the
tidy sum of S12,656OO0. OF course
all this will not be net profit. But
there should be enough left, after all
expenses are paid to make the ven
ture worth while.
Thomas d. Campbell is the man
who conceived the idea of the worlds
largest wheat farm, or any other sort
Of farm, for that matter. Originally
of Grand Forks, more recently of Los
Angeles, Cal. and now a resident of
the Crow Indian reservation In Mon
tana, where he stands an excellent
chance of being elected chief of the
Crows, Mr., Campbell has astonlshed
the wheat growers of the country. as
well as a lot of other people. by the
vastness of the enterprise under his
management.
II was during the summer of 1917
that Campbell first thought OF raising
wheat on large scale On unused
Indian lands. and wrote to the Indian
bureau at Washington, outlining his
plans and asking how TO proceed to
lease some of the tracts. He was
courteously informed by sundry OBJ
scure clerks in the department that
II couldn't be done. They cited GER
tain rules and regulations and laws
to prove their assertions.
This had the same effect on Mr..
Campbell that a red rag does on a
hull. The word impossible" only
makes him the more determined to
do what he sets out to do. So he
decided to try the men higher up and
the result was long telegram to
President Wilson. Almost immediate
ly came back reply saying that the
president was much interested In the
project and had referred 1t to Secre-
tary Lane of the interior department.
