age increase during the last year oc-
CURED in the South Atlantic states, in
the Carolinas and Georgia and ex-
tended to Alabama, Kentucky and
Arkansas. Small or no increases were
made in the New England states, the
Pacific Coast states and Louisiana,
Texas, Kansas and oMntana. Matcri-
Ill increases were reported from Nc
braska and South Dakota.
Iowa's blowing lands stand first in
value, her average being $1G9 per
acre followed by Illinois with $l14,

|. Crossing the Red Sea.
Whether we understand and can
explain it or not, the fact remains
that when Israel was between Phar-
aoh and the deep sea, Jehovah
saved Israel that day out of the hand
of the Egyptians" A great deliver
ance is often more permanent and
final fact as Il foundation of faith
than some theory of the plan of sal
vation. have often met humble
Christians who We're surer of their
faith, because of vital experience
of Gods help, than some scholars
because the latter approached their
Christian belief largely from an in
iellectual standpoint. That is why
the appeal to experience is often
broader and more final than the ap-
peal to scholarship.

that when you come to your Red Sea
there will be a way to get across.
"All that night,
Footsore and weary, waiting
with alright
The coming day;
The while their God was

All that night,
piling on either side waves

Making for them highway
broad and dry.
Even as they, so slow to
learn are we
To trust Him wholly when
we cannot see,
Beyond today,
Our broad highway?"

ALL DRESS FOR
THE WARMD US

The barbaric glitter of tinsel ap-9
pears in many of this summers eve
ming gowns. One of these is made OF
checked silver cloth with squares IN
dull lead color contrasting with alter
nate ones that are in tones OF bright
FURNISHED silver. So elaborate is this
material in itself, observes a leading
fashion correspondent, that it needs
little trimming. Almost no bodice ap-
pears in this gown. There is bit of
front drapery and slender shoulder
straps are hung with silver paillettes.
In the back it is decollete to the belt.
Sinuously slender, the skirt dips to
one Of the pointed and abbreviated
trains that are so frequently seen this
season. Silver cloth shimmering
through jade green tulle also makes an
effective evening dress.
Young girls are wearing evening
frocks of white, unrelieved by any
color. Not the fluffy, frilly type of
white dress such as the girl graduate
chooses are these, but made of silk
in the severest way possible, they de-
pend entirely on their classic lines for
great distinction.
Wraps That Clean Like Rainbow.
Callot makes evening coats of silver
and gold tissues and collars them with
costly furs. Vying with these are eve
ming wraps of silk resembling the rain
bow in the brilliancy of their colorings
and embroidered with gold and silver
threads. The Innings are even more
brilliant. Large fur collars appear on
all the summer evening wraps.
Lace,which will be much used for mid
summer dinner dresses, is welcome

wintry fabrics that we are using. TIC

place on a hot summer night nothing
could be more suitable or comfortable
than frock of sheer black lace topped

should be plain and distinctive in theil
design, instead of the fussy, flmy ere
ations that fashion has given US il
past seasons.
Wired Frocks Seem Like Cages.

and wired so as to appear like cage
Sleeves of lace tlresses may be short
and tight, or three-quarter length and
flowing. Necks, whether cut high or
low in the back, are always open at
the throat.
With these dresses are worn large
black hats of ma1ines, horsehair or
lace trimmed with jet, the jet being
used to outline the pattern of the lace
rather than as a decided trimming
feature. Gloves may be worn with
these short-sleeved gowns, but Paris
says it is smarter to be gloveless.
Evening slippers are of satin or sill
yer cloth, either plain or brocaded !;
gold cloth slippers are seen no more.
Gowns of metal brocade usually have
slippers made to match. Many of the
new slippers have the large rhine
stone buckles which are so becoming

are smart on black slippers. These

RIGHT WAY TO sTIFFEN LACE
How Decoration May Be Finished At
ter 1t Leaves the Needle or
Loom.

Now that lace is experiencing
vogue once more, the non-professionaI
maker of lace must know something
about giving finish to her work after
it leaves the needle or the loom. To
impart that almost imperceptible de-
gree of stiffness, the lace must be
ironed in a very special way
After removing the lace from its
foundation, notes correspondent,
place it face downward on some fine
white flannel. Now dip a piece OF
brand-new organdie, the unusually stiff
sort that is very obviously dressed"
into a little water. When it mas soak
ed for a few minutes, remove the bit
of material from the water, wiring out
any superfiuous drops, and dab all
over the wrong side. Finally, spread
the dampened organdie out fiat, and
move a hot iron over it, being quite
sure that the movement is slow so that
the moisture impaired to the lace may
evaporate gradually. Do not remove

LINGERIE FRocK is REVIVED
Garments Maize of Nets, 0rgzndies,

BatisAss for Summer.

The revival fef the lingerie fTsck is
an assured feahMre of summer
These frocks. made of sheer tissues
such as nets, organdies, georgetteis,
chiffons, crepes and batistes, are most
engaging, almost invariably combined
with 1aces or enbroideries and some
times both. Some show beautiful hand
embroideries or real laces, others ma
chine+made laees or embroideries-the
choice rests with the purse Of the pJIr-
chaser.
Many all-laee afternoon frocks are
being shown. Some are white and 9TH
ers are in eolored laces and nets, the
colors being the seasons favorites-
salmon. flesh, orchid, citron, straw and
jade.
Ribbon sashes are worn with most
of these frocks. Parasols in chiffons
or laces, together with lace or georg-
cite hats, help to complete these beau
tiful frocks.

BIG POTATO YIELD
Western Canada Man Raised 500
Bushels on Two Acres.
He Thinks He Did Pretty Well, but
There Were Even Larger Crops
In the Neghborhood-Live
Stock Men Prosper.

AS by-product the yield of potatoes
on the farm of Ben Pawson of Coal
dale, Alberta, was somewhat of a pay
ing proposition. Coaldale is in the
Medicine Hat district of Alberta. Med
icine Hat is a place, pictured in the
mind of many Americans, where the
weather man holds high carnival, and
when he wants to put little life or
spirit into the people just moves the
mercury down a few notches. The
rascal has thus given Medicine Hat a
rather unenviable place on the map.
But it isn't half as bad as it is pic
tured. Anyway, Ben Pawson likes it.
Last year he grew six hundred bush
els of potatoes on two acres of land
that had no special preparation, and
only the usual precipitation, or rain,
as the less cultured would call it.
When he couldn't work at his hay or
grain, because of the damp mornings,
he gave them some attention. And
then evenings between supper and
chores and bedtime he gave them some
work. Anyway his yield was six hun
dred bushels, and he sold the whole
lot for 1886. Ben is satisfied. Still
there were larger yields than this IN
the neighborhood.
If one might speak Of hogs in the
same breath in which you speak OF po-
tatoes, there is nothing in the ethics
of literature that would create a de-
barment. Taking advantage of this
license it will not be out of place to
state that large potato yields are not
the only feature of interest in this
new and interesting country. Amongst
others hogs are having good deal OF
attention. Not long ago, hogs reached
the S23.00 mark on the Calgary market
1t doesn't cost much to raise hog
and very little to bring him to weight
of 200 pounds. Don't cost much! Ger
tainly not. But what about the man WHIT
recently paid $3.50 for a Duroc Jerse!
Boar? That was all right. That mai
knew what he was doing. He was do
ing what a great many other farmer
in Western Canada are doing today
He is acting on the old ''saw," tha

son that Western Canada is loomin
, large in the live stock world. The bes
is none too good. The same may b
said of horses, cattle, yes, and sheel
too. The. very best sires and dan
