IN EAR me. whoever thought aprons
81 Hwould come forward as a feature
of costume? The apron has been
~ for so long a wor6aday thing
mat il does seem odd 10 see II incor-
porated in Paris frocks for formal &C
casions. Yet such is the case. and
aprons are now the piece de resistance
of afternoon and evening toilettes.
The apron entered the field slyly. as
a sort OF semi-overskirt, called an
apron tunic. 1t hung before or behind
the skirt in pleats Of draped folds
last winter; but with this autumn sea-
son it comes boldly forward as a bona
fide apron. fiuttering from belt rib
bon Cheruit's most popular frock at
the Paris races a few weeks ago was
OF dark blue serge in quite simple
lines and with a short. dainty little
apron of hemstitched and pleated
handkerchief linen hanging from
belt. The bodice was cut out in a
deep square at the neck and in this
square was a vestee Of tucked and
hemstitched handkerchief linen. At a
little distance the dark blue frock
seemed 20 be ;idily adorned with a
cunning bib-apron.
And OF course. since aprons have
stepped into the limelight as mod!sh
accessories Of the formal costume,
they are quite the rage as accessories
Of the indoor. or house costume. The
chafng- dish girl wears a frivolous
apron Of lace and lawn with ribbon
strings that tie in a pert bow, and
coQuettish ribbon bows on diminutive
pockets. The hostess has a fascinat-
ing little tea apron which Is supposed
to protect her y. city frock-though
she got along udily enough without
the apron for a good many years. And,
OF course. there are innumerable
aprons for other household uses-for
knitting, for darning. for embroider-
ing. for making fudge. for toasting
mullins before the CRATE fire az Sun
day night tea. for busting, for wash
ing teacups and so on.
This infinite quantity OF aprons
means much variety in the style OF
aprons and on the counters OF the

OUR FRIENDS THE BIRDS

National authority was slow to
awaken to the necessity for the pro-
lection and conservation of bird life.
But now this beautiful and unitarian
propaganda, strengthened by legal
encouragement and restrictions, is
working for the benefit of the nation
and the race. The boy with the
sling and the pot-hunter are becom-
ing rare; the outlaw sportsman meets
swift retribution; ignorance of bird
life and its value to agriculture is
disappearing.
We have learned, or are learning,
that each bird has its allotted work
which it willingly and persistently
performs, setting us an example we
would do well to emulate, for it
works with song bubbling from its
throat. Behold the vireo flashing
among the maple leaves. or the swal-
low, swift corsair of the air, the
robin, the catbird and the chebec at
their work. Only by unremitting in
dustry do we keep down the weeds
which otherwise would choke down
and overcome the needful crops, but
with all our industry we should fail
but for the assistance Of the birds,
which tee@ on seeds as we'll as in
sects. But for the ceaseless work OF
THESE winged friends the earth soon
would become i devastated waste
b. reason Of the voracity of incon-
Ceivable insect life 1t is the birds
which keep down the tent caterpil-
lar, the gypsy moth, the cut worm,
the codling moth, the innumerable
myriads Of eggs and larvae which
are found on trees and leaves and
the stalks OF vegetation. What these
joyous songsters take OF fruit and
grain is negligible in comparison
with the service they perform for
the good of us all. Hence every
farmer in particular should know,
as farmers are coming to know, that
the birds are agricultural aids to be
appreciated and protected by every
! possible Cincinnati Enquir-
! er.

SCHOOL CONSOLIDATION

In the recent issue OF THE Coun-
try Gentleman for September p,
1920, Mr., Freeman Tilden wrote the
following concerning the needs OF
the country school districts:
Due primarily 10 the fact that
they have more money to work with,
the city schools have been able to
offer far greater advantages in every
respect than the rural schools Year
after year successful and prosperous
farmers pull up stakes to move 10
town. They say oh, we're sorry to
leave the farm, OF course, but our
children ~ growing older now, and
they want the advantages OF the
children in the bigger places
Thus II is that anyone who can
bring Ihe advantages OF the city
scho0l within reach OF the country
districts is not only doing a tremen-
dous service to the farmers, but may
be rated with the biggest benefac-
tors of our time. BY consolidation
together with a good system OF trans
portation, the country children are
brought into contact with the besg
modern education offered in both
grades and high school.

1T CAN BE DONE

Objections are urged, as it was to
be expected they would be- to the
idea of farmers fixing the price ON
wheat, by an organization controlling
most of the wheat in the United
States and Canada The first objec-
ton is that ii can not be done.
Further, that to do it, would require
control OF the wheat in Australia,
Russia, and Argentina as we'll as in
North America, Second, that such
price fixing would not be tolerated
by the rest of humanity. Third, that

a steel trust, an oil trust, a labor
trust and so ON, also controlling
prices.
Taking up these objections in re-
verse order, there is already a steel
trust, an oil trust and a labor trust
all absolutely fixing or attempting to
fix prices on their products.
AS to the liberation of humanity
the other trusts are tolerated. But

f.. G. WOODS, NEW PROFESSOR
OF POMOLOGY, ARRIVES

E. G. Woods, the new professor of
pomology, has assumed his duties as
successor to II. ]. Barnett. Mr..
Woods graduated from the State Col
lege of Washington in 1915 and at
that time won a valuable scholarship
tC the Massachusetts School of Po-
mology at Amherst. After a year of
training at that institution he served
10 months with the colors in France.
Since that time Mr. Woods has de-
voted his time to horticulture WORK

sidered as well as the cost OF pro-
duction.
1t Will not require the control of
wheat in any other country to cut
out the Spectator and the grain
gambler in the United States. The
idea is TO sell direct to the miller
and to the foreign exporter and to
cut out the commission man, the
speculator and the gambler. AT pres
ent, the grain exchanges have it so
fixed that, so far as the greater part
of the crop is concerned, it can not
be sold at all except as it goes
through their hands and pays toll to
them.
Cutting out their unnecessary pro-
fit viii be to the advantage of both
the producer and the consumer.
The farmer will get part of this
unnecessary profit, or toll, the mill
er will get little part of it and the
consumer will get the rest.
Perhaps the wish that it may
prove impossible may be the father
to the thought. 1t is the belief of
Northwest Farmstead that it is not
only possible, but that it will be
done, and done within the time set
The committee will soon be at work
on the plan. Minnesota has named
its three members, and doubtless the
other producing states have done the
same. The only question is whether
the farmers will stick together.-N.
