Two sweaters-as far separated
from one another i'm style as the North
is from the South-are presented for
the consideration of the sportswoman
in the picture above. Each Is represent
alive of type; the first, at the right
of the two, being an example of styles
used where the sweater is called up
on to give actual warmth and free
dom of movement. 1t is a close-knit,
snug-fitting garment of wool, machine
made, with cap to match, and is one
of several varieties that the outdoor
girl and the sportswoman find indis-
pensable. This model is in one color,
has patch pockets and q wide turn
over collar-with knitted band to hold
it close up about the neck. This is its
novel feature and speaks for itself,
for it assures comfort in the face Of
icy winds. The cap is in two colors.
Sweater coats of brushed wool are
much like this model except that they
are loose and belted. Usually collar,
cuffs and pockets are bordered with a
band in contrasting color. Vivid and
high colors are well represented, but

Life is made up Of q number Of
pleasant things, including pretty hats,
for little misses like those who look
out at us from the picture above. No
one with existence overshadowed by
an unsatisfactory hat, could look so
gay and carefree as this trio. Per-
haps 1t Is because this millinery, with
bobblng tessel. pert bow, or flying
ends, is less plain than the majority Of
hats made for girls. 1t has velvet

popular in the smaller towns and ru-
raj sections; the story-and-a-half house
always is in demand, as are the two
story houses of various designs. How
ever, after all have been considered,
there are hundreds of home builders
who will pick the Dutch colonial as
the house they want. 1t has what is
nowadays termed "class."
Before deciding on the home build
ing design, it always is well to con-
suit with the material dealer, con-
tractor and architect. These three
home building experts can materially
help the prospective builder with sug-
gestions that will save mistakes In
construction and make for economy in
the cost of the home. And 1t is easy
for the amateur to make costly mis-
takes-mistakes that oftentimes bring
disappointment after the new home is
completed.

poses and climes as the competitors
which they are destined to displace,
or at least to share favors with.
The pretty garment and cap at the
left, by contrast with it's sturdy COM
panion, is only acting part. 1t Is a
sleeveless affair OF knitted silk, having
cross-bar in contrasting color, with
small tassels suspended on silk cords
OF the same color, about the bottom.
1t is made in the slip-On style, but
opens a little way down the front
where a single button and two cords,
ending in tassels. provide fastening
and finish. Not much is required Of
it in the way of warmth and ii can,
therefore, afford to be sleeveless. The
cloth tam, worn with it, is run with
stitches like the cross-bar in the
sweater in color ard narrow girdle or
the SILK Is knotted loosely about the
waist. This is an Interpretation of The

that OF its companion which must face
the snow, but they both belong in the
category of sports clothes.
Among the very handsome garments
of the same character for Southern
tourists wear are the sweaters with
fitted body and ripped skirts, crochet
ed of heavy silk yarn. They have ell
bow sleeves ending in wide ripple,
and, without pretense to any useful
ness, other than that OF looking lovely,
they are the most dignified of all the
offerings for sports wear. The crochet
work is very open, amounting to
heavy square mesh, for which the
blouse worn provides background.

| failure among the cooperative farm
ers' organizations in Texas.
Pure-Bred Swine Favored.
The value of pure-bred hogs is being
widely preached and enthusiastically
practiced throughout Texas. Where
farmers go into the pure-bred business
rather than specializing in pork pro-
duction alone, they generally remain
in IL longer, take more interest in it,
and accumulate more profit out OF 1t
than where they specialize exclusively
in pork production. The present de.
mand Of the South for good pure-bred
hogs is very keen. so that there is lit
tie danger of overstocking. Some Of
the hogmen hold annual cooperative
pure-bred sales twice year, and offer
nothing but the highest quality OF
animals, which are extensively adver-
tised and usually sold at profit to
the owner, while they almost invari-
ably promise attractive returns to the
buyer when properly handled. Consid-
cradle hog trade with Mexico is being
developed by Texas stockmen. Mexico
provides an ideal hog country, but on
account of disturbed conditions dur
ing the last eight years the domestic
hog industry has been almost obliter-
ated.
Texas swine raisers have organized
a state association, which is used to
coordinate all the county activities,
whether they are marketing or on
pure-bred basis, and up to the present.
this organization has worked out very
successfully. The state society is Of
great benefit in developing and i'm
proving county organization, as well
as being of special value to its individ-
ual members, both in an educational
and an economic way.

The time-honored theory that Cupid

by Prof. Samuel N. Page of Omaha,

This bold man, student Of eco

made the startling statement in New
York that instinct warns man away
from the longfaced woman as q mate

their place in the scheme Of things.

Texas formerly was famous as the
home OF chaps, spurs, pintoes, and
cowboys, but with the plentiful ap-
pearance Of barbed wire fences and
the influx Of small livestock farmers
these relics Of the range in many cases
are winning the discard and are being
replaced by A-shaped houses, stopping

patches OF forage crops-the land

County swine breeders associations
have been developed on some scale and
for the most part have been Of two
kinds; one for the purpose of ship
ping market hogs, and the other with
the end in view of promoting and SELL
ing registered breeding animals. 1t
has been customary for either Of these
organizations to purchase feed coop
eratively whenever the need of import
ing feed arose.
About eight months ago co-opera-
tive shipping association was organ
lied in Smith county, Texas, by the
extension swine husbandmen Of the
United States department Of agricul-
ture. During the past winter and
spring this club has marketed nearly
100000 worth Of hogs at an approx
mate saving OF 100000 to the pro-
ducers. Previous to the formation of
this marketing club it was customary
for the local buyers to purchase the
hogs, ordinarily paying about or 6
cents below the market price for the
fat stock. The get-together club has
saved for its members much of the
profit formerly made by local stock
buyers. It's secretary reports that UNI
der cooperative shipments the aver

mission, and yardage for a hundred
pounds of hog on the hoof has amount

How Shipments Are Made.

The secretary of this shipping or
ganization is the local county agent,
and whenever enough hogs are ready
to ship from farms of the club MEM
bers to make up half a carload he
orders q car and advertises the fact
that he will ship hogs from the county
seat on q certain date. At the specified
time the other farmers in the county
that belong to the association assem-
BILE their hogs at the station, where
the stock is loaded and shipped to the
Fort Worth market, the county agent
accompanying each shipment in order
to see that ii is sold to the best ad-
vantage and also to make sure that
the different grades Of hogs are weigh
ed separately.
When the stock Is loaded at the
shipping point the animals are weigh
ed and usually classified into three
grades and thus tagged. A receipt Is
given to each member who Is shipping
hogs for the number Of pounds that
he delivers to the car and the grade
that his hogs came under. After the
hogs are sold and the county agent
returns to the country, he divides the
net receipts among the various ship
pers, after the entire costs have been
deducted, according to the number OF
pounds of pork, on the hoof, each man
shipped.
Recently the hog farmers Of Smith
county have organized pure-bred
swine breeders association that Is I'M
der the same auspices and has the
same officers as their market associa-
ton. These stockmen intend to pur-
chase, in the North, one or two car
loads Of good, registered breeding
stock of the highest type and quality.
The local banks have agreed to furnish
the money, giving the members one
years time In which to pay the debt
and requesting each Of the members
to purchase at least one pure-bred
animal. Animals Of only one breed OF
hogs will be purchased In order that
the county may specialize In quality
hogs of special market uniformity, In
addition to selling breeding animals to
the surrounding communities.
In Nacogdoches county swine
breeders association has recently been
formed In order to improve market
ing conditions. The local buyers have
been paying IS to IA cents for good,
fat hogs, delivered at the railroad dur
ing the period when market prices at
Fort Worth and at Houston, for ami
mails of similar quality, ranged In the
neighborhood of % cents a pound.

attend this cooperative marketing
project as there has not been a single

than putting money in the bank. The

sideration is the satisfaction and COM

The Dutch colonial has the beauty Of
the colonial, without its plainness;
the sloping Dutch roof, with the wide

use of the space within the four walls.
And one point about the Dutch Co

The colonial effect in the exterior
of this house is secured by placing
the door in the center and preserv-
ing the balance with duplicate sets of
windows on either side. The porch
at the entrance is patterned after the
old homes of New England, having
only slight roof projection, which is
supported by round columns. The
slope of the roof and the wide dor
mers, in which the window balance
is maintained, denote the Dutch.
