country closer together, but II will make
it possible for the American farmer 10
have an outlet to the world markets
for his surplus products: and it is neces-
sary, If We expect to maintain our agri-
cultural standards, to have an outlet in
a foreign market for some of our agri-
cultural products
A study of the facts, showing our
expectation of grain and heavy freight
shows that If we could load vessels at
the ports Of the great lakes and send
them direct to European ports, practical
" all the excessive peak loads could be
absorbed. Incidentally, a tremendous
car mileage could be avoided, for small
grain, which constitute the greatest tom
mage item OF all our exports, comes prin-
cipalIy from the Dakotas, Minnesota and
Kansas.
Some objection has been raised that
If we join with Canada in this deep wa
terway movement. that the United
States will be spending money in for
eign country, for some of this proposed
Improvement will be in what is now
Canadian territory. 1t seems to me that
this objection falls OF its own weight
for the whole matter will, or at least
can, be arranged along lines similar to
those Of the Panama Canal. We can
make the same treaty arrangements with
Canada that have been made for the
Panama Canal, and we can be more Sc
cure for we are dealing with 4 neighbor
with whom we have been on friendly re-
lations for a long time.
Adequate transportation is the cry of
the hour. We need in this country, to
honestly and conscientiOusly study our
transportation problem and to solve it
now for all time. The best and most
economical transportation is that fur
nished by nature. We ought to have the
good sense in this country to utilize TO
its fullest capacity that which nature
has so abundantly provided"

PROPOSED WATERWAY
NEED NOT BE BURDEN.

The undertak king Governor Harding
estimated would cost approximately
$500, 900 900, the United States and Can
ada sharing it equally. 1t need not be 4
burden on the taxpayers, he asserted, as
1t can be made a profitable investment
BY the Government through the devel-
opment OF hydro electric projects for
which the proposed waterway would pro-
vide ample opportunities. Moreover, he
added. the expenditure would be justified
in the tremendous saving TO the people
1t would effect within a short time.
Outlining the Advantages Of water
transportation in carrying agricultural
commodities Governor Harding said:
AT the present time grain from Duluth
to Boston can be hauled part water and
part rail cents per busnel cheaper than
1t can be hauled by all-rail. II there was
an all-water haul on grain from Duluth
to Boston, and the rate maintained pro-
pOrtionately as now, there would be
saving OF at least cents per bushe on
every bushel hauled. and practically the
same would be true from Chicago to BOs-
ton.
What is true Of the East rate is true
OF the West rate, and # does not take
an advanced student in mathematics to
figure what a saving this will be to the
consumer and what an advantage it will
be to the producer. Further, If by util.z-
ing this waterway we can save from ) TO
cents a bushel on all the grain hauled
from the West to the East it would be
but a very short time until the people
Of the nation would be saved much in
excess Of the cost Of the improvement,
and not only this, but it would insure
the farmers OF the West market FOR
their products, and also insure to the
manufacturer OF the East a market for
his product"

WORLD MARKETS.
Speaking OF other benefits, Governor
Harding said:

quite out of the question and this ac-
counts for the simplicity which Is so
effective in suits and costumes that
are made of colorful or lustrous fabrics.
In the suit pictured two tones of
color, gray and green, both In rather
dark shades, are woven in plain crepe
and checkerboard pattern. The plain
weave makes the skirt and is used
on the coat in collar and girdle. The
collar merges into a facing below the
waist-llne. There Is nothing to de-
scribe in the suit that may not be
gathered from the picture. Its very
long, close-fittlng sleeves with fasclnat-
ing frills of lace falling over the
hands and the plated jabot of wide,
net-top lace, that plays the part of a
vest at the front, are details that can
not be spared from this design.
Hat, shoes, stockings and parasol
have all been carefully selected for
this suit. The hat in light gray and
dark green has spice of black in mar
row bands of patent leather to give
1t sparkle. Shoes and stockings are
gray and green predominates in the
parasol where bands of black repeat
the black note In the hat.

cused of being the most extravagnnt

This season there is good chance
to economize in millinery because
hats include many shapes that were
worn last year, or even In earlier sea-
sons. Sailor shapes, wide brimmed
leghorns, some of the "cloche" or
dropping brimmed hats as well as
toques and turbans of former sea-

make them entirely up-to-date. The

or black, and it is the simplest thing
in the world to do this work at home.
There are several stains or varnishes
on the market. usually for sale in
drugstores, that are easy TO apply.
The vogue for dotted Swiss Organdie
in facings and trimmings suggests
one way of bringing the hats of yes
ter year up-to-date. These materials
are used over straw shapes and to
make entire hats. Collars and cuffs
to match the hat, made of the same
Swiss or organdie. add the smartest
kind of touch to street outfit. OF
course every woman has n right to
one new hat in the spring, but she
is entitled to others If she Is clever
enough to mike them herself and ope

Even If It would there is pleasure In
