only becomes more complicated. There
seems to be nothing there except a
band of something stiff to fit about the
head. The crown and the brim are
entirely without inner stiffening or
frame. The trick does not allow for
explanation. 1t is all in the wizard who
causes 1t to be. Yet, when this seem.
ing mass of velvet or satin is put on
the head it takes shape and form
that commend 1t to any wearer. 1t
seems to have been made to set off at
Its best that face alone, and while you
cannot say that the hat is round or
oval or square or long, still 1t has
shape.
The felt blocked hats worn with
midseason gowns are round as to
crown and as to brim as WELL The
brlm turns up at the same distance all
the way round and the only trimming
for the hat is a silk band of the same
color. Hats Of this character in beige
and taupe worn with navy blue suits
are effective. Then, there is another
variation of this hat done in duyetyn.
One of royal blue was worn with a
gray serge suit.

FARMERS WASTING MONEY
One Of Chief Ways Is Failure to Keep
Farming Equipment In Proper
Condition.

No one likes to make money any
more than the farmer, yet he is the
person who is most prone to waste It.
One of the chief ways In which he
wastes money is by his failure to keep
in proper condition his farming equip
ment. Many kinds of machinery which
are used In one season and not In
the others should be stored away when
not In use.

For every thousand persons In the
United States there is at least one re-
frigerator car, loaded with food prod
ucts, rolling along the rails. These
cars carry billions of pounds, and more
than three-fourths of them haul fruits
and vegetables, Much of this produce
Ia highly perishable, and must be
moved quickly, while temperatures are
kept down by the use of Ice.
Unless one is given to travelling, his
breakfast fruit or dinner salad is like
ly to have covered more miles In trip
Of days than he has in as many
months, and all the way from field to
table perishable fruits and vegetables
must be watched over and cared for
by group of workers who are as busy
as mother travelling with baby In
her arms.
Sometimes refrigerator cars arrive
at markets with their fruit or vege-
tables damaged by heat or shifting Of
loads through faulty containers, or dis
eases and rots developing during
transit. This means not only loss
Of foodstuffs, but increased prices for
the sound produce that arrives on the
market-losses that In the long run
must be borne by wholesaler, retailer,
producer and consumer. This itself Is
serious enough, but, according to the
bureau Of markets of the United States
department of agriculture there is
a present shortage Of refrigerator
cars in this country, and the more
cars that bring damaged produce
to market the fewer available cars
there. are to carry perlshable food to
the cities.

At one large market last July 121
cars of peaches were inspected by the

were "in trouble" as the inspectors

The Seattle Chamber of Commerce has inaugurated a campaign to relieve the deplorable lack of aids to naviga tion along the Alaska coasts and to secure if possible more extensive sur veys of the little charted waters by sending personal appeal to each member of Congress showing the large number of wrecks that occur in Ala skan waters and the immense losses resulting to commerce., together with q map prepared by the Shipmastcrs Association and the Masters and Mates and Pilots organization show
 ing in graphic manner the data rela- tive to the great loss of vessels in Ala- skan waters.
 The letter addressed to the con- grcssmen calls attention to the loss of 3Sl lives in wreck of the Princess Sop hia as emphasizing the lack of lids to navigation and coast surveys and con- tinucs as follows:
 The great value of Alaska commerce which last year totaled SIP .di} 600 carried by 4030 vessel trips, jdstiiies the necessary expense to make t.,ese waters safe to navigation. Under q constructive policy, wl;.n will make for the rational development uf Ala ska this commerc" will advance to figures of which no approximation can be made.
 The loss of vessels and cargo, of which we now have record, exceeds in value s19,O00,0OO. Under separate cover we are sending you copy of map we have prepared, which graphically shows the extent of these disasters.
 Will you kindly give your valuable support to the construction of the necessary aids to navigation and coast surveys, and hasten this all-important work.
 In letter to the Nugget containing q copy of the communication sent to the congressman, J. l.. McPherson, Manager of the Alaska Bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce states that the Seattle commercial body is being assisted by Senator Jones and Delegate Wickersham, to whom have been dispatched large scale maps showing the position of one hundred essential aids to navigation that should be immediately installed. The letter says in conclusion that the campaign will be followed up until the desired end is attained

 from the North to the States a meet ing of former residents of Alaska was lrecently held in Portland and result
 ed in the formation of society bear
 ing the name of ,'The Alaska Society
 of Portland" according to q clipping
 from the Portland Orcgonian arriv- ling on recent mail from the States.
 The society was inspired by Mrs
 Edith Tozier Wetherred and k. A.
 Perkins, and it aims to make Portland the mecca of Alaskan people and to establish mutual interest between the residents of this city and those of the northern country. Membership is op-
 rn to both men and women and a large number signed the roster at the opening meeting,
 The membership is divided into three classes known us active, assoc five members are tlose who have spent the required amount of time in Ala ska associate members are those who have immediate relatives in the coun- 1ry or relatives who have resided in Alaska, and honorary members are el- eeted by the society. The following officers were elected for the ensuing !year: W. II. Downing, president; w. T. Hume, vice president E. H. Collis, secretary treasurer: directors, Mrs F. H. RoutledGe, R. A. Perkins, Mrs Dan Campbell, II. E. Wheeler, Mrs H. N. Frd and J. J. Cottcr The artilcc con- tinues:
 After the business meeting the members had an enjoyable time re- moving old acquaintances and reviv- ing old times in the Northland.
 The principal speaker of the even- ing was Judge M. F. Moran, whose home is 300 miles up the Kubuk river which cmpties into the Arctic ocean. Judge Moran has the distinction of having lived F consecutive years north of the Arctic circle without coming outside. Judge Moran is fluent speaker and the recital of his judicial experiences with the natives in the far Northland was wonderfully interesting.
 Other speakers were w. T. Hume, who was the first city attorney at
 Nome; Captain J. T. Gray who is far famed as a pioneer navigator of the Yukon; Judge G. A. Adams, who re- gently returned to Portland after q continued residence of 21 years in the spent 26 years in various camps. One the features of the evening Was the introduction by Judge Moran of two young people. Miss Harriet Ford and Collis Sutherland, who were born in Alaska and whom he characterized as Alaskan nuggets.
 There were many old timers among them Harry Wheeler, who carried the mail for five years between Teller and Camp Prince of Wales, the fur thermost western headland at Bering Straits, which is probably the hardest land most dangerous mail route in the in the world, R. A. Perkins, son of the pioneer founder of the Perkins hotel, who has lived in Alaska 26 years; M. H. DeCourey, 22 years; T. A. Suther- land, one of the earliest at Dawson 'and Nome, and Con McNamer one of the first to mine on the Koyukuk.
 There were also a number of women ,who had experienced the rigors of the life of the Northland among them Mrs H. N Ford, Mrs R. l.. Bernard. Mrs T. A. Sutherland, Mrs NJ. H. De- |Courey and Mrs E. s. Routledge.
