Not only are some foodstuffs de-
clining in cost to the consumer. but
the price of wearing apparel, such as

tory solution of the wage and price
problems was reported from all Sec
tions of the country.
"The agricultural outlook" the re-
port says, on the whole is distinctly
less favorable than a month ago, al.
though the large acreage sown in GER
tain cases will compensate for de-
creased yield per acre. Cotton in
particular is in poor condition
"Reflecting the feeling of uncer
tainty which prevails, the volume o
speculation has abated and declines
in the price of securities have oc

tion, however, is at bottom strong.
Discussing labor conditions, th'
board recorded that reports from tn

gratified over the financial success
of the Lake county fair. The secre-
tary states that the management will
have no deficit this year. The at

ably greater than on either of the
two previous days.

team. Winfred scored one run in
the first inning, but were unable to
make another score during the re-
mainder of the game. Winfred held
Nunda scoreless until the ninth in
ming and had made two putouts in
that inning when, with two men on
bases a Nunda batter hit safely for
two bases and drove in two runs, the
next two batters also hitting safely
driving in two more runs, which end
ed the scoring, as the next man was
put out.
The auto races, which followed

Railroads Earn
Surplus in July

Washington, d. c., Sept. S.-For
the first time in many months gov
ernment operation of the railroads In
July showed surplus instead OF a
deficit.
Director General Hines announced
that preliminary figures Of the busi-
ness for the month indicated net oper-
ating income of $77.000. 900. After
allowing one-twelfth of the annual
rental due the railroad companies the
net gain Is about 100000, as COM
pared with deficit of $22.031,000
the preceding month and $65, 900
in February. the largest deficit Of the
year. The net loss to the govern
ment for seven months is $290.526,-
3O7.
In calculating the surplus, how
ever, no account was taken OF the
wage Increase offered the shopmen
and which has not been accepted by
them. 1t has been estimated that the
cents an hour advance would
amount to about $4,000, 900 year,
and as 1t is retroactive, the surplus
for July may become a deficit of ap-
proximately the same amount.
Mr.. Hines pointed out that the fall
ing off in freight business continued
to be a big factor In the railroad ad-
ministration's finances. although
business has grown steadily since
February. AS compared with July
1918. the decrease in operating in

AND ARE AGAIN WITH THEIR
BROTHERS AND SISTERS

Aberdeen, Sept S.-The unselfish-
ness of Mr.. and Mrs Herman Anger
hofer, of Nina, prominent farmers of
this section OF the state, has led to

ing her husband with nine children,
five of whom were small, ranging

and after a time married. The fiveI
children were distributed among diff
ferent families. and Henry. little
chap of 6 years, was legally adopted
by Mr. and Mrs. Herman AngerhoferI

out on a search for the five children,
who had been sent to the home.
Henry was the last of his brothers
and sisters to be found by Andrew
Hornbacher. He is now sturdy lad
of 13.
Although legally their son by adop-
ton, Mr.. and Mrs. Angerhofer lis
tened to the pieadings of Andrew
Hornbacher and consented to yield
possession of Henry, who was there
upon adopted by his elder brother,
and his name again became Henry
Hornbacher instead of Henry Anger
hofer
The parting between the lad and
lis foster parents was an affectionate
one, even though the lad was eager

and sisters.
A -5-year-old sister living near
Redfield will accompany her brothers

The little company of fine fabrics for underthings which women usually consider when the rousseau must be planned include batiste, nainsook, wash silk, satin and erepe-de-chine. But crepe georgette had only to knock at the door and it was admitted to this charming company: the sheerest and daintiest. but the least practical member of t. However, it is there among the others and destined to stay for in spite of it's delicacy it is not fragile. This is one of the new de- partures i'll the styles for underthings. Another is the use of colors instead of white in materials and printed as well as plain patterns.
 For the purpose of decorating, lin- gerie laces. ribbons and needle work of various kinds have not found any ri= yals. Little chiffon roses find place on the sheerest garments and narrow ribbons are used in frills and shir- rings on them. But these are for lux urious and little-used garments. On those that are more dependable. rosetteS and bows that can be pinned on and ribbons that can be easily taken out or put in, with the usual lingerie laces and stitchery are used.
The Newark journal., 1919-11-27

Not all undergarments are frilly and lacy-there are many very plain things. simple and tailored, that con- tent themselves with hem-stitching and perhaps q single prim little bow for decoration.
 But not to this class belong the night dress and envelope ehemise shown in the picture. Batiste and all the silks available for undergarments are to be had in printed designs sim liar to that used for these two pretty garments that are the glory of the rousseau. Here they are made of lowered wash silk. with frills of lace about the neck and sleeve openings and frills of ribbon about the bottom Pretty bow knots made of shifred rib bon, having chiffon roses set in them. are set on the front of both the night dress and the chemise. Light pink is the favofite color for undergarments but other colors are used. The sheer est fabrics are not often chosen in white. but eottons and silks that are to be often laundered are better in white than In colors. Batiste in light pink stands tubbing well and has made an important place for itself in American made lingerie.
