TN THE greater part of our country
L spring comes late and departs early
to give place to summer; it is brief
interval, between the two seasons for
which we must buy our clothes. Few
women buy more than 4 hat and a

useful all summer, at least. One-piece
dresses prove SO useful to women gen
orally that they have become as i'm
portant as suits, which they replace
a good part of the time. With the
aid Of q warmth giving spring coat
they do all that a suit can do, and
a little more on those raw days in
March and April when there is little
promise of warm weather in the air.

over from winter to summer without
any other addition to the wardrobe.

WEARS PATCH ON HIS PANTS
ev Georos B. Waters

The author of the only federal anti profiteering law has a patch on his | trousers and he says he will wear those pants till the patch wears out. He is wearing an overcoat for the third year, and his shoes have half soles on them.
 The man is Asbury F. Lever, former congressman from South Carolina, au- | thor of the Lever anti -profiteerlng law. and now a member of the farm loan board.
 When the author of the peoples only weapon against profiteers advo- cateS economy, and practices It., he should know what he is talking about Lever was told that the cost of HNlnS had gone up per cent since his law, with the penalty attached, october -@, became effective:
 "The best way for the people to lower the cost of living is to stop ex- travagance" said Lever. If enough people will refrain from buying sl5 shoes and s60 suits, I will guarantee the cost of these things will come down. Now is a good time for many people to save some money for them selves and at the same time help bring prices down for all But are they do- ing it?
 q just returned from North Caro- lima, where made speech. A man told me how one of his tenants raised a huge cotton crop, the tenant getting s6,000, the first real money he ever had. I said, That will enable him to go where land is cheap and buy farm He replied, He has already bought an automobile and drives it 60 miles every night Such extravagance increases the prices of everything. So long as the spendthrifts are aiding and abetting the profiteers, 1t seems futile to try to lower the cost of living am not buying anything I do not have to have. And I am more able finan- cially to buy than the average person is. If everybody will decide to wait 10 do their buying till the price comes down, they won't have to wait long,

labor's Pledge

We trust that MT. CsomperS speaks advisedly, definitely and the direct specific and not merely nominal representative of organized labor, when he pledges the full share of the help Americas workers in the solution of the countrys problems this There is nothing labor do to help in the present situation than contribute increased pro- duction.
 We can not increase production by working fewer hours than formerly. Nor increase it by de- barring a part of the workers, by preventing them from assisting in the business of production. Nor production be increased by placing a limit upon output
 People generally sympathetic with the demand of labor for tho best working positions possibe they sympathetic with the demands of labor for wages that will provide a decent standard of living which at the same time will leave enough over to for the worker and his family when longer work.
 question wages is longer serious often to breach between empoye and employer The latter has got used to paying high wages and has found it simpler easier pass the additional expense of production along than it is to quarrel with the enpoye about it. High wages, moreover is a bugbear generally suppose It has had much less do with the of living than we imagine and much less to do with than the profiteers have told will only assist in increasing production will not begrudge them their high wages, and the who first pay the wages will not.
 generally production halted by wage disputes or Dy disputes reatng TO those work ing conditions which affect the health and we'll being the worker. It has been by disputes in which the workers either demand that certain work shall allowed which he workers demand employers shall heavily penaiized for insisting that sufficient number of hours put in guarantee good measure of pro- duction
 The right of the worker to strike is longer in question. whatever may be the of the strike That only a legitimate an essential weapon the preservation of his organization may complain sometimes of the way he the weapon, of his lack of provocation for using it.
 If he is in earnest about wanting Americas problems he will contribute production by actually producing and that be only by cooperation with all other people working same end

Bear Bayou, Oct. Is, 1907.

Bear Bayou. Oct. Is. 1907. Darling Archie:
 We have had no luck with the bear; but we have killed as many deer as we needed for meat and the hounds caught wildcat. Our camp is as com fortable as possible, and we have great campfireS at night.
 One of the bear hunting planters with me told me he once saw a bear, when overtaken by the hounds, lie down flat on it's back with all its legs stretched out, while teh dogs parked furiously all around it.
 Suddenly the bear sat up with a jump, and frightened all the dogs so that they nearly turned back somer- saults.
 At this camp there is a nice, tame pussy-cat which lies out here all the time, catching birds, mice, or lizards; but very friendly with any party of hunters which happens along.
 P. S.-I have just killed bear; have written Kermit about it.

suddenly appeared parading down the hall with great friendliness, and was forthwith exiled to her proper home again.
 White House, Feb. 23, 1908. Dearest Kermit:
 I quite agree with you about Tom Pinch. He is a despicable kind of character; just the kind of character Dickens liked, because he had himself a thick streak of maudiin sentimental ity of the kind that. as somebody phrased it, made him wallow naked in the pathetic" It always interests me about Dickens to think how much first-class work he did and how all most all of it was mixed up with every kind of cheap, second-rate matter. am very fond of him. There are in- numerable characters that he has created which synlbolize vices, virtues. follies, and the like almost as we'll as the characters in Bunyan; and there fore I think the wise thiGg to do is simply to skip the 'bosh and twaddle and vulgarity and untruth, and get the benefit out of the rest. Of course one fundamental difference between Thackeray and Dickens is that Thack- cray was gentleman and Dickens was not. But a man might do some mighty good work and not be a gentleman in any sense.
 "Martin Chuzzlewit"
 White House, Feb. 29, 1908. Dearest Kermit:
 Of course I entirely agree with you about Martin Chuzzlewit." But the point seems to me that the preposter- ous perversion of truth and the ill., nature and malice of the book are of consequence chiefly as indicating Dick ems own character, about which I care not a rap; whereas, the characters in American shortcomings and vices and follies as typified are immortal and. moreover, ca nbe studied with great
