of a dainty vestee of lace and mar

front are the means by which the
bodice rivals the tunic.
A dark and light color are used to
make the sprightly dress at the right,

PRODUCING EGGS IN WINTER
Hatch Chicks at Such Time to Allow
PuIIets to Begin Laying in
October and November.

With the average small-farm flock
where hens of a general-purp0se
breed are kept, it is most satisfac-
tory to let the hens do the Matching.
If the hens are of a nonbroody breed
however, it is necessary to use incubd
tors or to purchase baby chickss>
Whatever the method of Matching. It
is most important that 1t be done at
the right time of year.
The proper time Of Matching varies
with different localities, being earlier
in the South and latest in the extreme
North The aim should be to hatch
the chicks at such a time as will al
low the pullets to reach their full de-
velopment and begin laying In Octo-
Der or November, poultry specialists
in the United States Department OF
Agriculture say, as these earlier ma
turing pullets must be depended upon
very largely for the fall and winter
egg production. Late-hatched chicks
do not mature in time to produce fail
and winter eggs nor do they live or
grow SO we'll during the hot weather.

THE dipctoire, late eighteenth
i century and certain Spanish in
Auences in the styles, are all disput-
ing the claims Of the straight-line or
chemise dress, to pre-eminence. The
best American and French creators of
costumes appreciate the adaptability
Of taffetas and organizes, to bouffant
skirts, and the charm Of flavor Of
quaintness in the silhouette that is too
attractive to be ignored. Therefore,
in the passing show of spring styles,
among those present, and present in
considerable numbers, there are such
sprightly dresses as are pictured here.
The frOck at the left includes
tunic among its assets, over much
narrower underskirt-a plain and in
conspicuous affair that plays only a
small part in the composition Of the
dress. The tunic and bodice divide
honors in points of interest. Bymeans
of cords about the hips and at the
bottom the tunic achieves hoop-skirt
effect, and it is decorated with fiat
puffs of the taffeta. The peasant
waist also employs these puffs as a

rise to $4O.43 in 1917, to S17O7 in 1918,
to $500 in 1919, and to $64.95 In
1920.
The rate of gain over 1895 was 70
per cent in 1915 and 267 per cent In
1920, SO that the gain Of 70 per cent
in 20 years, from 1895 to 1915, was
followed by gain Of 1917 per cent In
five years, from 1916 to 1920, or near
ly three times as much in quarter as
many years.
From 1915 to 1920, farm labor work.,
ing by the month without board re-
ceived gain in wage rate as high as
lis per cent. This was one Of the
causes of the greatly increased cost Of
producing things on the farm, which
has hit the farmer so hard In the de-
clining market for his crops of 1920.
So high had the farm-wage rates be-
come in the last two or three years
that they were prohibitive in consid-
cradle degree when labor could be
found, and farmers more generally
depended exclusively on themselves
and members of their families, in ad-
dition to extending the use Of labor
saving machinery.

TomlinsOn withdrew, still shaking
his old head from side to side, and
mumbling his opinion that the eXpla-
nation, far from condoning an affront
to what mad once been an orderly es-
adjustment, was in the nature of a
plant on his credulity. No sooner had
he closed the door softly but firmly
on the scene of wreckage than Mr..
Randolph turned all his attention to
the lady in his arms.
After a few moments, he laid his
hands on her shoulders, held her
at arms length, and forced her eyes

meeting with his own. "My dear girl"
he continued, when l came here this

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Home gardens were boOnS to thou
sands of families in the United States
last season, and the garden habit
seems to have become fixed with a
large number of persons.
In most sections the late fall gar.
dens were killed by frost and in many
cases the debris still filters the
ground.
Bean poles and tomato stakes, with
their burden of frosted vines, are top
pied over and give the garden an I'M
kempt and ragged appearance. Aside
from the esthetic influence of clean
ing up the garden, it is important that
all rubbish and dead plants be re-
moved and burned to protect the crops
of next season from the insects and
disease spores which infeSt the debris.
A few hours of work in the garden
now will save serious losses another
year. Gather the bean poles, tomato
stakes, and any removable trelllses or
wires, store the good ones until they
are again needed; then pull, rake to-
gether, and burn all the dead vines
and plants left in the garden. If these
are too wet or green to burn, they
may be gathered in small piles for a
few days to dry and then piled to-
gether and burned.
Spread Manure.
Heavy clay soils should be broken
up and left rough and lumpy before
applying the manure. The kind of
manure to use for this purpose is not
| important, so long as it is not filled
with weed seeds or trash of any kind.
Manure in which straw has been used
for bedding can be taken direct from
the stable and spread on the garden
as a surface cover during the winter,
the rough part being either plowed un'
der in the spring or raked off and put
in the compost heap.
Protecting Young Trees.
Experienced gardeners keep com
post heap going in one corner of the
garden from one years end to an
other, and all surplus manure and SOC
are placed in it. As a consequence

PEACE ATLAST
WITH GERMANY
President Attaches Signature
to Proclamation establish
ing Legal Status.
Special to Indiana Daily Times
and Philadelphia Public Ledger.


| WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-America' s
war status was formally and finally
ended beyond all legal cavil at exactly
1852 o'clock Monday afternoon, when
President Harding affixed his signature
to a proclamation of peace designed to
I supplement the exchange Of the ratifica-
! lions of the treaty between the United
States end Germany in Berlin on Nov. IL,
three years after American and German
armies had grounded their arms.
The proclamation made formally eff
fective the joint resolution of Congress,
approved March 8, which repealed all
wartime legislation, with the exception
of certain sections of the trading with
! the enemy act dealing with the admin
| istration Of alien property. 1t fixed the
end of the war as of July 2, the date
upon which the President signed the
Porter Knox resolution declaring peace
by legislative enactment. Finally, the
proclamation provided for publication Of
the treaty with Germany that it might
lie observed and fulfilled with good faith
by the people of the United States"
Decision to issue a formal proclama
ton upon completion of the exchange of
treaty ratificatiOns was reached by the
President more than a month ago after
the question had been submitted to At
torney General Daugherty for an opinion.
The main features of the treaty with
Germany are:
The status of alien property now held
by the alien property custodian is undis-
turbed.
The United States shall have all rights
stipulated for its benefit in the Treaty Of
Versailles.
I The United States shall not be bound
by any Of the provisions of the Treaty
of Versailles, which refer to the League
Of Nations.
The United States assumes no Obliga-
lions Of the provisions of the Treaty Of
Versailles which refer to the boundaries
of Germany, or provisions dealing with
China, Siam, Liberia, Morocco. Egypt,
Turkey. Bulgaria and Shantung, and
provisions relating to the international
organization Of labor under the League
of Nations.
The United States Is entitled to par
ticipating in the PREPARATIONS commission
and the other commissions set up under
the league, but is not bound to participate
In any such commissions unless it elects
to do so.-Copyright, 1921, by Public

FARIS TELLS WHY
RATES NOT CUT
Says Utility Gains Less Than
Others.

The public service commissions rea-
sons for not cutting utility rates are set
forth in the annual report of that body
for the fiscal year ending Sept 30, by
Frank B. Faris, an examiner. The re-
port sets out that while there has been
a marked decline in the number of petit
tons for increases, this does not justify
the cutting Of rates, because utility rates
were not increased in proportion to other
costs during the war.
The report shows that the commission
authorized the issuance Of securities to-
falling $21, 167, $50 and that it valued utility
property amounting to $50, 160,214.
The statement giving reasons for not
cutting utility rates is made despite the
fact that a number of petitions from
municipality owned utilities for rate re-
ductions are now on file with the com
mission.
