An Interesting Item

Chicago will be the battle-ground
this year for the annual struggle be-
tween the best corn producers OF the
entire country to determine who will
be crowned Corn King of the United
States. The struggle will be staged
at the international Hay and Grain
Show. which will be held in connec-
ton with the international Live Stock
Exposition at the Union Stock Yards,
November 10Th to December 9th. This
is the first grain show since 1914, be-
cause of the war.
Already the entry list is large, with
the very best corn growers in the
country competing for the $4,000 in
prizes offered by the Chicago Board
of Trade.
In addition to the corn which will
be on display from the various states,
fourteen agricultural colleges will
have exhibits of an educational ma
ture.
One of the special features will be
miniature farm. This will be
complete layout of farm, showing
the number of cattle, hogs, sheep, hor-
ses, chickens, ETC., that an average
cornbelt farm can profitably carry. It
also will show good crop rotation,
with the farm all laid so as to save
labor and increase the efficiency of
the operator.
Judging from the many entries of
corn, oats, wheat and all kinds of hay
now being received, the show this
year will far surpass that of previous
ydars. The dorm and small grain
growers not only are interested, but
the hay producers, who are given an
opportunity to show what they can
do, will be at the show in force.

ABOUT THE BARREL SILHOUETTE.
BY ANNE RI1'TENHoUsE.

Once our idea of the last thing in
the world that we would like to re-
semble would have been a barrel.
The hour glass was our ideal. The
fashionable woman's worst night
mare would have been to be forced
to appear abroad with silhouette
that rounded out, bulged out toward
the middle, barrelwise. We quar-
relied with our dressmakers over
Quarter-inch extra material at the
waist line and some plump women
went to bed with their stays on or
had them placed very near their bed
at night, so that in the event of
fire or an earthquake they. might
not have to reveal the fact that ma
ture had actually made them barrel
wise.
Slenderness Is Essential.
To the end of time, no doubt. at
least among US occidentals. certain
amount of lithenes.s and slenderness
will be among the qualifications of
ashton, becaus> youth IS slender ana
activity is estimable.
The slender figure is especially de-
sired now. 1t is, in fact, essential.
So essential is it that fashion will
permit of no camouf1aging. A Wom-
an IS no longer judged only py Inc
waist line And b cause her slender
ness is genuine it is no longer neces-
sary for her to retain this badge of
slenderness. She dares be barrel
while her less unathletic grand
mother did not. Truly the present
meal-bag. barrel fashions could never
have come into the mode save at a
time when women honestly were
1.-THE and slender.
Japanese ladies of fashion are sin
gularly Indifferent as to the size OF
their waist The obi is never drawn
tight. And that is because these
same ladies never do have hips or
pirth at the waist line.
How could they, with all their bow
ing and squatting on the floor?
But we have out-Japped the Jap
anese and now we cherish a silhou-
cite that Is as much a thing to be
'narveled at by the Japanese as was
our hour glass outline of genera
tion ago.

again to the ankles.
What you would doubtless notice.
however, would be the Sits for the
hands, which are placed at right an
giles to the way in which they were
llaced seasons before, and. after all.
1t is a rather more convenient way
and at least interesting for a change.
The evening or afternoon cape that
has no Sits at all is frigLtfully tire
some. and there are women who have
taken their evening capes of fur or
velvet or other rich fabric and have
demanded that the Sits be put in
them, this despite the protests of the
