Where Old Jewelry Goes.

The United States assay office at
New York has recently received much
gold and silver in queer articles Tor
conversion to bullion or coin.
The charges for converting gold ana
silver are less than those made by any
private company, which circumstance
brings to the assay Office dealers In
precious metals, pawnbrokers, jewel
ers, gold and silver producers and the
banks. It is no unusual sight to see
a dealer bring in lot Of jewelry made
up of a gold mesh bag, brooches. scarf
pins and rings. This is weighed In
bulk and a receipt given which IN
cludes no statement of value. All the
articles are melted as a whole. and
the owner given the privilege Of re-
ceiving in payment gold or silver bull
lion or cash.
Some time ago the executrix or an
estate sent a silver chandelier of enor-
nous proportions, but hopelessly out
of style. 1t was reported to have cost
$4,000 fifty years ago. Melted 1t
brought about 5000.

Advises walking on Tlptoe.

Walking on tiptoe few minutes
daily is the form Of exercise pre-
scribed by DR.. Gautiez, a French
physician. 1t brings into action little
used muscles Of back and abdomen as
we'll as those of calf and thigh, stiff
fens the spinal column and neck. and
promotes chest breathing In place OF
the abdominal breathing common
from constant walking on the heels.
1t gives the benefit Of gymnastic run
ming without the useless heart fatigue
and loss of breath. 1t is pronounced
the most convenient form of physical
culture, and its efficacy is easily test
ed. But It must not be assumed that
the deforming practice of wearing
high-heeled shoes has the advantages
Of the few-minutes-a-day exercise.

FASHION RUN MAD
Women's Costumes in 1917 De-
cidedIy Startling.
Eastern Journal Expresses Some Ap-
prehenslon Whether There Is to Be
Return to the Frankly Reveal
Ing Style Of Dress.

The history of clothing, It is said.
like all other histories, has tenden-
cy to repetition, and IL this be the
case we can look forward to some
startling patterns. Can 1t be that
women will again dress as in the days
Immediately following the terror Of
1906?
TO quote Modes and Manners Of
the Nineteenth Century:
"The train was quite done away

the feet free, in 1908, and only reach

as It were. moved upward. The ethe-
real nymphs and goddesses had dis
appeared, giving place to grotesquely
clothed figures, more like manikins
than human beings. This tasteless
style Of costume reached its height
in Vienna In 1917, when the dress,
now entirely without bodice. fell half
way down the legs only, being cut
out at the bottom and allowing good
length Of lace drawer to be seen be-
fore it ended In an embroidered boot"
In those days, the chronicler tells
us, the English" was soon more cor

coats disappear but additional gar
ments were also discarded--the lady
Of society wore rings on her bare feet,
while silk tights and transparent
chemise composed the remainder Of
her costume.
The more fashionable women
strove as to which of them should
put on the least clothing. No one
spoke of any one as "well dressed"
but as "well undressed." and 1t be-
came an amusement In society to
weigh woman's garments; her
whole clothing, including shoes and
ornaments, was not allowed In 1900
to weight over eight ounces. Nine.

LONGTYME-GOETTE

The marriage of Miss Trida Long

solemnized at the court house in
Hartford, Thursday night, Nov. 25
by Rev. Plus Emptepocket on. A.
Fogle) in the presence of about
700 guests.
This play was pesrented by 45 OF
Hartford's business men and the
proceeds will go to the p. T. A.
Early In the evening it was seen
that the court hall would not seat
the entire audinece and it was an
nonnced that a second performance
would be given. The two perform
ances netted s1S7.OO. You can
imagine how amusing it was to see
these men attired, some as children.
some as young ladies, some as old
ladies while those representing men
wore full dress suits and were made
up to look the various parts assign
ed them.
We had intended to give a COM
plete description of the affair, but
space will not permit this week.
Suffice it to say it was one of the
best performances ever presented in
Hartford. All who took part in the
play or preparing costumes etc. de-
serve their share of the glory, but
to Miss Mary Marks should be given
the credit of originating the idea
and engineering it to successful
conclusion.

and Thanksgi' ng sermon. all the

only discouraging thing about the
service was the fact that about half
the pews were empty. II seems
that many people are SO busy about
getting more money that they can
not stop for an hour and attend
service for the purpose of extending
thanks TO their Creator for the
of blessings they have
enjoyed within the past year.

FARMERS UaI0N IN
BIG BUSINESS
Cooperative Agencies Handled
Transactions Exceeding
$6OO,OO0,OO

Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. 27.--Co-
operative agencies, selling and pur-
chasing, together with commercial
enterprises conducted by the Nation
al Farmers Union, an organizat tion
Of 100000 members, did an aggre-
gate business of more than $780,
100000 in the last twelve months
according to reports submitted at
the annual union convention here
several days ago.
Strung across more than twenty
states, the business activities of the
union have become most important
in the farming industry and the
agency feature presents the only
working cooperative marketing
plan today, according to officials.
The agencies are maintained prim
arly to bring to the members the
highest market prices for what they
produce and to offer them commod-
titles at the lowest prices.
Under the plan the farmer-mem-
5erships his produce or livestock to
the nearest selling agency. There
it ia taken in charge by men who
have his interests at heart and not
sold until the highest price has been
commanded. For the purchase OF
commodities he needs, the member
turns to the purchasing agency,
whether he wants calico, two by
fours or a steam tractor. He finds
them offered, officials say, at prices
considerably below those he would
have to pay ordinarily. This is
possible, they explain, from the fact
. that the agency is able to get better
prices because it purchases in car
load lots and the profit of the mid
die man is eliminated.
AS in the case of the agencies, the
business enterprises of the union
are conducted by men drawn from
the organizations memberships In
Kansas where that feature has been
given especial attention more than
200 elevators. stores, mills, lumber
yards, ETC., are in operation.
The operating expenses of the
selling and purchasing agencies,
officials say, come from money de-
Quoted when sales are made for
members and from margins realized
from sales of commidities to the
members. In both cases. they say,
the sum realized from the indivi-
dual is nominal. If there is a sur
p.us at the end of the year the
money is proatred back among the
members.
