unfair because it was in the nature
of class legislation, but their in
fluence in opposition to the bill
seemed to be of negative quality.
Many members of the house who
were opposed to the passage of the
bill explained that they were not
against the farmers organizing CO.
operative banks, but they wanted
these banks to be organized so that
they would have to obey the same
rules and regulations that governed
the other banks of the state.
"State banks" said one member,
ARE limited as to the amount of in
terest they can pay on time de-
posts. The provisions of the law
providing for the establishment OF
farmers cooperative banks are
such that these banks can ignore the
limitations on interest set by the
present statutes governing state
banks and it gives them an unfair
advantage in attracting deposit &C

was no longer Of any use to pretend.

Just before reaching the farm where

catch UP. 1t was some time before
Reddy appeared, for he wasn't travelling
as fast now as when he had started out.
You see, that farm really was very
long way from the Old Pasture, where
Reddy lives. He had run very hard, be-
cause, You know, he was SO anxious to
get one of those fat hens.
AS soon as Blacky saw him he hid in
the thick branches of q tall pine tree.
Reddy didn't see him. In fact, Blacl<y
had been SO far ahead that Reddy had
lost sight of him some time before.
Out of the bushes trotted Reddy.s His
tongue was hanging out just a little and
lie was painting. Blacky was just about

FASHIONS

The one type of dress which is sell

dressmakers are able to turn out very

Use of Old Potatoes.

Il IS one thing to use new potatoes
and quite another thing to use old
potatoes, and truly if old potatoes are
wen cooked and suitably cooked they
are just as palatabIe as new ones
But don't hope to be able to serve
them simply boiled or creamed as you
would potatoes that have just been
grown.
If you want to have success in MAX
ing the best of old potatoes first peel
them, soak them in cold water for an
hour at the least and then start SOCK
ing them in boiling salted water.
Here are some ways to use up the
old potatoes that may prove helpful:

SCOTCH PLAIDS IN HIGH FAVOR

ball ranks among the finest of that
century, although it was not as dra-
matte as the ball at Brussels which
preceded Waterloo and which was
probably made more dramatic through
literature.
At the Caledonian ball ali the Scot
, tish chieftains wore their plaids. and
their womenfoik did likewise. They
danced the highland fling and the
sword dances of the mountain folk. 1t
was a colorful affair, as you may well
imagine, for when the Scotch dress up
in their war paint there is no civilized
dress in the world to compare with it
After this celebration France went
quite mad over things Scotch. She
wore the bonnet, with its brooch in
front and its strings in back. she did
not attempt the short, pleated skirt
which is so much a part of our mod
ern C0stumery that its advent today
has not caused a ripple Of interest
We think of ii as belonging to Amer
lea as much as to Scotland. and We
DO not express any special interest in
its revival at this time.
Today, over a hundred years later
at the termination of a similar war
and the downfall of a would-be world
conQueror, France introduces the
Scotch fashions again. There has
been no Caiedonian ball to inaugurate
this fashion, but we have grown aC-

Military bostory tells US that these
costumes caught the ego ef the French
women far more than any others
which is quite natural. and it is also
natural that the French designers
should see in the staggering plaids
the rakish velvet coats and the OBJ
long hats a chance to introduce a
warlike fashion that does not sug
gest mud, dirt and disaster.
Scotch Suits With Fringed Edges.
TWO fashions have been brought out
together today that are reminiscent
Of the Scotch costumes. One is the
use of plaid. the other the use Of
heavy fringes made from siashing the
material. Both of these have been
brought out in coat suits and one
piece frocks offered for the spring.
One of the best, of burnt orange and
blue plaid cheviot, is sketched today.
1t is an imported thing which may
not bear exact copying in this coun-
try. but which introduces u host of
new ideas The very narrow skirt is
edged with knife pleating of the ma
terial, and the jacket to the hips is
also nnlShed with KNIFE pleatIng. The
edges of the sleeves and collar are
finished with slashed material. The
jacket is single with silver
buttons up the front. and there is
white collar with a black cravat.
One-piece frocks of Scotch plaid
usually carry three rows of fringed
material between knees and hem and
a suggestion of side drapery over the
hips Certain of these frocks do not
extend more than six inches above
the waistline, where they are met by
shirtwaist of pleated white muslin
which is covered by a short. trim
jacket of black velveteen.
