1t seems far cry from the great
world war to styles In corsets. Yet
even in corsets. which seem SO incon-
sequential and so small an item In
the worlds business, the war has
changed manufacturing methods, and
II looks as if it would have a lasting
effect on the garment. Prices Of cor
sets went up with scarcity of mate
rails and increase In cost of labor.
There Is no immediate prospect Of
Il cir coming down again. For year
a, least the French corset fabrics will
not be imported in sufficient quanti-
ties to influence price and the labor
item is difficult to handle. Manufac-
turers who are willing to shave ex-
penses in every other direction will
hesitate to cut down wages. So we
must reconcile ourselves to the pres
ent required expenditure and hope
that 1t will not advance.
The low bust proves itself the most
comfortable and the most graceful Of
corset models. In fact there Is no
particular reason for mentioning the
bust at all in connection with new
models that extend only an inch or so
above the waistline. The bust Is really
c.-seted by the brassiere and the
lungs and diaphragm are not subject
ed to the slightest pressure. Curves
are long in figures corseted In this
way-a consummation devOutly to be
wished.
Fewer bones-or steels-are used
In the new models than ever before.
This came about through the short
age of boning materials and proved
blessing in disguise. Even the stout
woman finds her figure well support

FEEDING Fowls In Winter,

Feed grain in a deep litter on the
floor and make the hens exercise for
it. The mash may be fed either wet
or dry, and should be so regulated
that the fowls will get about equal
parts of mash and of the scratch
grains. 1t is necessary to give the
fowls plenty to eat to get good results,
but the birds should always be eager
for each feed. In cold weather feed
about one-third of the scratch grains
In the morning and two-thirds at
night. In this way the hens are forced
to exercise more than if they receive
all the grain they desire at the morn
ing feed. Scratch grains, mash or
ground grains, animal protein, green
feed, grit and shell should be supplied
in the winter. good scratch mixture
may be made of equal parts. by
weight, of cracked corn, wheat, and
oats; and mash may be made Of
two parts cornmeal and one part
each of wheat bran, wheat middlings
and beef scrap. Green feed, such as
cabbages, mangel wurzel beets. cut
alfalfa, or sprouted oats, should be
supplied-to replace the green feed
which the fowls have been securing
in the fields; and beef or fish scrap,
skim milk, cut green bone, or some
similar feed is needed to replace the
bugs which the fowls have been get
ting on the range. Beef scrap or feed
Of this nature is very essential In Sc
curing a good supply Of eggs during the

A full feed eff grain to hogs on good
pasture not only produces the most

profitable results. When account is
taken of the saving of labor and the
reducing of loss from disease by mar

months of age instead of keeping them
for year or more, the advantage is
almost always with the more rapid
growth. The self-feeder system which
permits hogs to eat grain at will either

more and more popular in the corn.

valid reason why self-feeders should

The Commission conducted an in
Iyestigation in the above entitled mat
ter on May q, 1919, and hearing was
held at the City of Washburn. The
purpose of the investigation was to
Investigate the charge that mis-
had been made to
purchasers of the company's stock in
respect to the affairs of the company
and it's prospects and financial status
1t appears that early in the history
of the company the promoters trans
ferred in the neighborhood OF thirty
lsix thousand dollars ($36,000) par
value of capital stock to Mr.. w. Mic
Iholayson pursuant to contract
whereby he was to take charge OF the
sale of the company's stock and pro-
mote the same to the point where the
company would be properly financed.
l. Pursuant to this arrangement Mr.
INichalaysen entered upon the sale OF
stock and in connection Herewith
sold a considerable portion of his own
holdings to the public. Matters Sc
shaped themselves that in March 1919
it was considered advisable for Mr.
Nicholaysen to resign from the Pres
idency of the company and turn over
his remaining stock together with his
contract for the sale of the cOmpany's
stock to Messrs. Larson & Smith who
were interested in the company
This arrangement has been carried
lout and the Commission is advised
THAT the corporation is now seeking to
,enforce such legal liabilities as may
exist in it's favor by reason of failure
of the. former president to bring about
the financing Of the corporation.
The findings made and the order en-
tered herein are in no way to be taker

by the sale of Thrift Stamps and
War Savings Stamps is not the sole
object of the treasury's campaign
but that the government is actuated
by the desire to give the citizens OF
the country an opportunity to invest
their savings safely and carefully and
at the same time gain an increased
participation in the government.
In letter to the pastors of the
nation, Herald Braddock, Director
of the Savings Division of the Treas
ury said:
We are inclosing statement by
Secretary Glass which we will be
glad to have you read to your con-
gregation as we feel that message
of this kind reaching all the people
throughout the country will be inn
pressive and of lasting value.
We will be glad, if in addition
to reading this proclamation you will
give talk on the benefits of thrift
and savings to the members of your
congregation. We hope you will be
able to assist the local Savings
director in carrying on the savings
campaign in this community and that
you will impress upon the members
of the organizations connected with
your church and desirability of care
full saving for some worthy object.
1t would seem that in the organiza-
tiOns which are DESTROYS of saving for
this purpose it would be to their in
terest to be enrolled as Government
Savings societies. The Saving aud
Thrift stamp securities offered by the
Government are so safe and access
ible to the investor OF such small ac-
counts that we feel they should he

church organization.
We also feel that if the members
OF these organizations begin investing
their savings in Government securi
ties it will aid the members to feel
that they have direct stake and in
terest in their government and make
them more active and intelligent
citizens. We are counting on your
assistance in this great movement
for peacetime patriotism.
