We keep hearing the rumor that the

we Judge by the signs of the times,
and unless it has a revival will not be
here ut all by fall. The sash, how
ever; has taken on n new lease of life
and is to play an ever more important
part in III costume than ever before.
AS to fringe, it is to be more extensive

ing is often seen trimming satin capes.
coats of camels' hair and dresses of
taffetas and satin. This banding is
made by stitching the fringe on a strip
of satin at top and bottom, so that it
has the appearance Of insertion when
used as trimming. Now and then one
finds q color different from the dress
or cloak showing through the threads,
but this is not nearly so often used
as the palmer colored banding in blue
or black.

If wheat is to follow cotton, the
stalks should be plowed under as soon
us picking can be finished and the
blowing should be deep enough to bury
the stalks completely-that by way Of
destroying the boil weevil. Disking or
narrowing is not advisable, as it I'M
earths the buried stalks. The land
should be 1rmed with a roller and the
wheat sown with q disk drill.
Late Flowing Should Be Shallow. :
There are said to be exceptions to all
general rules, and there may be one or
two exceptions to this rule Of early
blowing for wheat. If it rains a great
deal during July and early August, ear
~ blowing can not be done. But, for
tunately, the exception appears to
come in just there. Early blowing is
not so essential in wet seasons But it
may be we'll to observe this caution:,
If you have to pillow late, pillow shallow
where there is danger Of winter killing
Shallow blowing makes the firming Of
the seed bed an easier matter and is q
measure of insurance against winter
killing.

dispensabIe.

It is established that our most de-
1ightful fashions come from Paris, and
1t is becoming equally well established
that our sport apparel is English in cut
and fabric. We come to speak of the
English walking hat, meaning the rath-
er close-fitting hat with a tall, crown
curling up at the sides. English tweeds
and flannels are n part of every sports
woman's vernacular, as suits Of these
materials are of her wardrobe. We
| d%ifferentiate between the Onlookers. and
the real adherents, and recognize the
rights of the latter to he as plainly and
unbecomingly dressed as the most rig
orous exercise demands.
During the last year of the war the
knitted sport suits made by hand ap-
peared, first in Switzerland at st. Nor
ltz and such places where winter sports
abound. They were instantly accept
ed and We're n boon to French and
Swiss makers also, who could thus en-
ploy remuneratively their long winter
evenings heretofore given over to lace
making or the fine embroideries, the
demand for which vas interrupted by
war. Now the knitted suit is indis-
pensable. The great vogue over here
for tricolette and jersey cloth has fur
Their stimulated this demand.
The wool jerseys are ideal, for they
do not rumple or crush and come in
such splendid colors that every taste
may be gratified. Hunters green is a
favored color for some reason-it al
ways looks we'll and does not always
fade as do other brilliant and decided
shades. Nothing is more picturesque
than the fashion Of topping white
skirts with jersey coats Of the most
brilliant tones acknowledgement, yell
low, and scarlet seemingly preferred.
Unden;ahly they make gay color
s%plotches on the landscape and add to
the summer picture.
Less sefviceable than the wool jer-
seys are coats of fine faille and silk
poplin. They are as delicate and re-
fined as the most conservative woman
could ask, and come In such pretty, soft
colors as French blue and pale rose.

Children's Fall STYLES

Mothers are glad to see guimpes
coming into fashion again for the lit
tie folks. They give a dark dress a
"dressed-up" appearance, and are a
great saving in the laundry. They are
decidedly fashionable this summer
and autumn, being made simply and
trimmed with either a bit of Val lace
or a frill of plating Of the sheer white
material from which they are made.
One mother has made a holt dozen
of these useful guimpes for her small
"tomboy" daughter who is in the sec.
ond grade at school, deciding that IT
Is easier to wash several guimpes
than several whole dresses. since 1t is
the sleeves and collar that are soiled
first.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
The tractor will be used for blowing
wheat land this year by a larger num-
Der Of farmers than ever before per-
haps. The farmer who is using &
tractor for the first time will have to
solve a great many problems. And
many farmers who have used tractors:
for one or more years have not yet
found the best way of avoiding alE
the difficulties Of tractor blowing.
The two main things to be consid-
cred in tractor blowing, as in any other
kind of blowing, are high quality Of
work and economy of time. They are
somewhat harder to attain with the
tractor than with horse plows, or, to-
put it more accurately, greater care
In planning is necessary to attain
them.
The initial problem is to lay out the
field In such q way as to attain a two
fold result-a high-class job Of plow-
ing over the entire field with as little.
use as possible of horse-drawn plows
in starting and finishing, and to con-
sumo as little time as possible in turn
Ing and in running with the plows out
of the ground.
To lay out a Held exactly right for
tractor blowing is something of an en-
cheering feat, but the United States
department Of agriculture has under
taken to simplify it as much as posi-
BILE. Bulletin 1045, Laying Out Fields
for Tractor Flowing, contains dia-
grams Of - ways Of laying out fields
Nine of these are methods in which
the plows are lifted at the ends. The
other four are methods in which the
plows are left in the ground in going
across the ends. They are designed
for both rectangular and irregular
fields, and n or another Of them will
be found adapted to practically any
piece of ground that is to be plowed.

 IN MATTER OF THE
 REMISSION OF FINE

When Commissioner John H.

 The case was that of Ida Smith, charged with violating the prohibition law, who was found guilty in the recorders court and on appeal to the circuit court was fined s1OO and given jail sentence of 60 days. The case was appealed to the su- preme court. but was settled by Con- missioner Taylor, the jail sentence being remitted.
 This case was not included in the report made by MT. Taylor and when the vote came to be taken on the approval Of the report Commissioner Burruss obJecteu on the ground that it was incomplete III that the Smith case was not included.
 Commissioner Taylor stated that the commissioners had passed resolution empowering him and the city attorney to settle such cases and that he had no objection to including it in the report The matter was adjusted for the time being when the city attorney was m structed to investigate the case and make report to the commission

BURNETT BELIEVES PEOPLE WILL VOTE
 DEMOCRATIC TICKET
Thinks Republicans inPower Will Disgust Country by Mistakes, Investigations
 and Heckling Wilson

Though not the extreme optimist respecting the future of the democratic party that Representative J. Thomas Heflin proves himself to be. Repre- sentative John L. Burnett is no pess- imist.
 AS a matter of fact, MT. Burnett states his belief that the democrats, in the next elections, will win the presidency and both houses of Congress.
 q don't care," said he yesterday morning, how soon the President calls Congress together. Like Senator Mar tin of Virginia, democratic leader of the upper house, I am anxious for the republicans to take charge and 2s- sume responsibility. They are going too far in their efforts to investigate everything for political purposes, and in their plans to heckle, goad and em- barass the President for the same req sons The reaction will have telling effect in my opinion.
 'The republicans are taking back water regarding the league of nations. Of course, they will say that the con- stitution is now acceptable since the President has agreed to certain amend ments. But the truth is that the re- publicans, were moved originally in their opposition because they oposed the principle involved, and because the prime author of the covenant was Woodrow Wilson.
 T viritably believe that by the mis- takes of the oposition and the po- Htical maneuvering of the opposition, the democrats will be restored to pow CT when next the people are permitted to express themselves"

 Both attorneys claimed that the busi- ness of the licensed bondsmen is a nec- essary one saying that it serves to get persons out of jail and saves lawyers and others the inconvenience of going to the jail at all hours of the night to make bond for someone.
 Commissioner Taylor said that when he came into his present office that about $l5,000 was owing to the city on forfeited bonds and that he meant to adhere to the policy of requiring that all forfeited bonds be paid in full.
