SUPPOSE FARMERS STRIKE?

SUPPOSE FARMERS STRIKE?
The farmers keep their heads when
all other fly off the track We ask
city workers to ponder a moment
what might happen if the farmers
should do what the workers are doing
demanding shorter hours and high
er pay. The farmers are their owo
bosses 80 they would not have to
quarrel with anybody. They would
hold out on strike until they got
good and ready, for they can feed
themselves.
You working city fellows suppose
for a moment that the farmers adopt
ed the eight hour day. 1t would cut
down production at least half. Snip
pose they also set a price on their
labor and their products based on an
eight hour basic scale. Where would
you get your food? Only the rich
could buy it at all, for the price
would be prohibitive to men on
strike. If the cost Of living is too
high now how will lessened produc-
tion affect it? How will increased
cost of production bring prices down?
You live now because the farmers
have gone on producing, working
nearer sixteen hours a day than
eight hours. You can buy food be.
the farmers have not gone on
strike, have not ceased to produce.
have not cornered the market and
said "we demand so much for our
products or we won't work."
If you city workers expect the
farmers to go on feeding you at the
old price you have got to get back
to work at the old wage and make
cheaper. so We a produce cheaper.
This is not a one-sided game. It
takes two to play it and if you city
fellows quit, don't get sore if you go
hungry soon. Either the farmers
must do as you are doing, shorten the
hours and demand higher pay, or else
you must lengthen the hours and
produce more without more pay.
The farmers have been patient
with you. When they lose thier pa
fence . look out. You have already
taken their help. If they quit, too.

VARIETY IN SALADS.

Salads in summer are one of the.
things that you ought to regard as an
essential. II you are fortunate enough
to have lettuce bed in your garden it
is really a crime not to have them once
day and usually twice. If you are
truly devoted to salad you need nothing
set and the right sort of oil and vinegar
and some one with that sixth sense
that makes it possible to make the
french dressing at the table. But that
Is rare gift and most of US need va
riety in salad. an excuse to make the
eating Of lettuce day after day seem
worth while
IN the summer use fruits and vege-
tables as much as possible for salad
accessories and alternate between
boiled dressing If you do not like may
onnaise, SO that you will not become
tired of any one sort. Cold vegetables
OF various sorts are delicious for this
purpose. Butter beans or string beans
served with French dressing and gar
nished with sliced hard boiled eggs are
delicious. A little onion juice added to
the dressing adds piquancy of flavor.
Beets served with French or mayon-
raise dressing also form delicious
plain boiled beets or beets that have
been cooled in vinegar. Cold peas and
beets with mayonnaise dressing make
a salad as delicious as it is pleasing to
the eye.
Cherries that have been stoned and
allowed to marinate in olive oil make
delicious salad when served with may
onnaise dressing. Pears are another
fruit that lends itself we'll to salad
They should be we'll ripened and then
cut in halves and served with French
dressing. Onion salad has many posi-
bilities. One good way of making il is
to slice delicate Bermuda onions that
have been peeled and soaked in cold
water for an hour. When sliced sprin-
kle each slice lightly with powdered
sugar and then marinate in French
dressing. Serve on lettuce leaves.

AS he poked his head out of his

something was still wrong in the Old

broke note of distress and sorrow.
He instantly recognized the voices of

Lace Flounces Are Revived.

4oSO l. AouASCo 11AO
The struggle of Paris to bring lace
founces back into their old glory is
meeting with success, and America.
which has always liked the ceremonial
lace frock for summer. sees a new
chance to be cool and smartly gown
ed at one and the same time.
The gown which is made entirely
of lace is not yet revived. but the one
that has lace f1ounces on the skirt,
lace ruff1es on the sleeves and a lace
redingote over a satin or chiffon slip
is most desirable
The Paris dressmakers continue to
make straight skirts and curved
skirts and they use lace flounces for
both; but when they wish to distend
skirt into something of the Spanish
type they line. the lace founce with
bit of soft horsehair, which gives 1T
just the proper swirl outward from
the figure.
When they wish to give moderate
width they use taffeta founces or
small ruff1es of taffeta ribbon. In
ceremonial evening gowns Paris uses
ruff1es Of combed ostrich fringe mount
ed on chiffon, distended by fine
featherbone or a strip of crinoline.
All of these tricks contribute to the
revival Of flounces as a method of or
namenting a plain skirt, and the anna
teur uses them without any extreme
thought of the various curves, dis
tensions and hoop effects that can be
gained.

the Secretary Of State to inform the
Senate whether the situation In Korea

the United States exercising its good

provision Of the treaty Of 1882 between

FASHIONS

No item of the wardrobe suffers so
much wear and tear as the hat. In
the first place, millinery Is usually
made Of rather perishable material
and in the second place a hat is put
on and taken off many times a day,
whereas, a frock or suit does not
suffer this excessive handling: There
fore, if one would be smartly outfit
ted it is necessary to have hat for
every costume and a few odd ones
thrown in for good measure. Fortu-
nate1y the shops cater to this de-
mand by offering trimmings of all
sorts and supplying free of charge
the services of women to tie ribbon
bows and give useful suggestions for
applying the trimmings purchased.
This practice has increased greatly
since the beginning of the war, and
is in line with the general conserva-
ton scheme to teach and induce peo-
pie to do things for themselves.

lar fabric hats, either of which may

meath section Of the brim. A white

ribbon about the crown and a clus-

COUNTER PROPOSAL
FROM GERMANS IS.
GIVEN TO ALLIES

Paris, May 29.-The counter pro-
posals formulated by the German
delegation at Versailles have been
delivered to the French authorities.
The proposals probably will go be-
fore the council of four of the peace
conference at thi smorning's session.
The German reply was received in
instruments. The first instalment
comprised lightweight pages. Other
instruments followed this and it was
understood chat the delivery of the
document would be completed within
the time limit.
The reply is written in German and
bears the caption: observations of
the German delegation on the condi-
tions of peace"
When the peace conference met in
plenary session this afternoon to hear
the Austrian peace terms, it was an
nounced that the treaty had not yet
been completed. 1t was decided,
therefore, to postpone the session I'M
til Saturday, when the completed
treaty expected to be ready.
Another reason for postponement
of the plenary session was request
from the smaller powers, especially
the Balkan States, that they be al
lowed further time to consider the
terms.
