And the Furs of Summertime

They are not bit like those have been wear
ing when Jack Frost lived around the corner Because
every woman wants some kind Of wrap when she lays
aside her heavy coat, many of the newest furs are
rather large double animal scars cut to give the effect
of a jaunty cape at the back to be pulled tightly
about the throat "ChinChin" fashion, when prefer

in having bit of personal individuality about furs
The Hat For NOJU
Another opportunity for individuality, for while
there great for small, cosehttlng hats that
seem the most suitable headgear for windy days and
crowded thoroughfares woman need wear an unbe-
coming hat when there is such great variety to choose
from. 1t would that they just cannot wait for
spring flowers to bloom the gardens, most of the
hats are laden with the gayest of flowers in all coors
For the hats themselves Soldier Blue and Victory
Redo are the colors most in demand, and noticed
number of hats made poppies Henna is also
much used and for hats to be little later there
are calls for that lovely green that shmmers in Oriental
jade.
The psychological effect of coors and clothes is not
the fad of few, but we'll established principle and

and color and cheer in the garb of women That Amer
can women realize this, and that each and every
of them will do her part need not even be limited

STOCK AND CROP NOTES.

Rain, which appears to have been
general throughout the Yellowstone
valley and on surrounding bench
lands, fell July 20. In the immediate
vicinity of Billings the downpour was
the most pronounced since last
spring. Grazing lands and crops on
irrigated farms that have suffered
because of paucity of water in bitches
were greatly benefited.
The California rice crop is making
excellent progress and If present
prices maintain, will probably yield a
return of $20,000,000 for the year,
much the largest and most profitable
crop of rice ever harvested in the
state, comparing with the $14,00O,O0O
for 1918. The development of this
crop has been most rapid. The acre
age, which in 1917 was $4,000, rose to
1876, 900 in 1918 and this year will be
approximately 100000 acres.
The 1918 cotton crop, lint and seed,
was worth $2,067, 100000 to the pro-
value of the cotton crop Of 1914 and
is twice the value of the crop OF
1913, which had the highest value

side. An avalanche of barbed missiles
flew about them. One pierced Korak's
shoulder, another his leg, and he went
down.
Meriem was unscathed for the blacks
had Intentionally spared her. Now
they rushed forward to finish Koruk
and make good the girls capture. But
as they came there came also from an
other point in the jungle the great
Akut and at his heels the huge bulls
of his new kingdom.
Snarling and roaring, they rushed
upon the black warriors when they
saw the mischief they had already
wrought. Koyudoo, realizing the dan
ger of coming TO close quarters with
these mighty ape men, seized Meriem
and called upon his warriors to retreat.
For n time the apes followed them,
and several of the blacks were badly
mauled and one Killed before they sue

| have got off thus easily had Akut not
been more concerned with the condi-
| ton of the wounded Korak than with
| the fate of the girl, upon whom he had
| always looked as more or less of an
interloper and an unquestioned bur-

| den.
Korak lay bleeding and unconscious
when Akut reached his side. The great
ape tore the heavy spears from his
flesh, licked the wounds and then car
rled his friend 10 the lofty shelter that
Korak had constructed for Meriem.
| Further than this the brute could dc
nothing. Nature must accomplish the
rest unaided or Korak must die.
He did not die, however. For days
he lay helpless with fever, while Akul
and the apes hunted close by that they
might protect him from such birds ant
beasts as might reach his lofty retreat

IN THE MIDDLE WEST
AND SOUTHEAST.
THEY ALL WANT MORE MONEY
Chicago Officials Disregard Interna-
tionaI by Their Action-Many
Unions Voting-Claim Big In
crease in Near Future.

Chicago.-Officers of the Chicago
district council of the Federated shop
mems union called nationwide
strike of railway shop workers Sat
urday.
The strike is chiefly effective in the
middle west and southeast and in the
latter section alone $4,000 men had
laid down their tools. All over the
country and especially in the middle
west union locals were voting on the
strike proposal. A big increase in
the number of men on strike is immi-
nent, union officials believe.
In the Chicago district alone more
than 100000 men are directly affect
ed, according to union officials, and
they claimed that all the men had
dropped their tools.
The local unions had disregarded
the advice of their international OF
frees at Washington who have been
comforting with the railroad admins
tration, and who on Aug. instructed
the men not to strike. The request
for increased wages from 6S to 81
cents an hour for machinists and from
AZ to so cents an hour for helpers
was made the first of the curren
year, the union men said.
More Men Out.
Characterization spread OF thu
strike of railway shopmen, especial,
in the middle west, where about 1900
workers went out Tuesday, according
to union reports, with a strike of 10
600 men on the Norfolk & Western
line set for Wednesday, marked tn
fifth day of the walkout. The strik
has been declared illegal by railroa
executives, who have made tina
charge to the local bureau of the dc
partment Of justice.

superstltlons About Salt.

1t is curious fact that, from the
earliest times, many superstltions have
chung about the use of salt There Is
much evidence In Holy Writ for cere-
moni,ri uses Of It, The Mosaic law
commands that every oblation Of meat
offered shall be seasoned with salt, a
command that Is given, with varia-
lions, In various books of the Bible,
such as Leviticus 2:13 and Ezekiel
1914. In the old days salt was put
into q child's mouth in baptism, and
in some countries to this day the GUS
tom Is followed of throwing pinch of
it into holy water to ward off the evil
spirit.

children had brought the warriors In
from the forest and the river. Great
was the excitement and hot was the
rage of the men when they learned
that the white devil had again entered
their homes, frightened their women
and stolen arrows and ornaments ana
food
Even their superstitious fear Of this
weird creature who hunted with
huge bull ape was overcome In their
desire to wreak vengeance upon him
and rid themselves for good and all OF
the menace of his presence In the
jungle.
And SO 1t was that score OF the
tleetest and most doughty warriors Of
the tribe set out in pursuit of Korak
and Akut but few minutes after
they had left the scene of the Killers
many depredntlons.
The little party Of warriors was led
by Kovudoo, the chief, middle aged
savage of exceptional cunning and
bravery. 1t was he who first came
within sight of the quarry which they
had followed for hours by the mys-
terious methods of their almost I'M
canny powers of observation, intuition
and even scent.
The white youth and the white maid
stood alone in the jungle when they
were discovered by Kovudoo's band
Akut had been made king of his ape
tribe, and Korak, to Akut's sorrow
had left him to dwell with Meriem In
the jungle. One of kovudoos men
leaned close to the ear of his chief.
Look !" he whispered and pointed
to something that dangled ut the girls
side. "When my brother and l were
slaves in the village Of the sheik my
brother made that thing for the sheik''
little daughter. She played with 1t al
ways and called 1t after my brother
whose name Is Geeka. Just before W.
escaped some one came and strucl
down the sheik, stealing his daughte
away. if this is she the sheik will pa,
you well for her return"
Koru4e arm had gone around tn
shoulders of Meriem. And then iron
behind him broke hideous bedlam o
savage war cries, and score Q
shrieking blacks were upon them.
Korak turned to give battle. MerieI

The poor man of today is able to

MARKET AT SPOKANE.

The whole country is experiencing
an era of great industrial, CONNER
cial and financial prosperity, the like
of which has never been known. Yet
it must be recognized that this is
due largely to the special needs of
the present moment and the fortunate
position of the United States in rela-
ton thereto. We still have the prob
lem of REIMBURSEMENT" before us; OF
finding out what the future basis of
industry and monetary values for us
is to be, and getting both wages and
prices in proper relation thereto,
and allaying popular unrest and dis
content.
The average price of all commod-
tiles, according to the bankers COM
modify price index stood on the
first of July at $645,22, compared with
$644.59 a month before, $606.S0 on the
first of the year and $6Os.99 year
ago. Although this is the highest
average price for commodities ever
recorded, it is likely that still
higher average will obtain on the first
of August after which somewhat
lower prices on many prime commod-
tiles may be in evidence.
In groceries and produce lines
there have been advances in beans,
butter, eggs, hens, hogs, cattle, lambs,
cured meats lemons barley and oats
with declines noted in geese, canta-
loupes oranges, apricots, grapes,
! onions, beets and green corn.
