Simple Designs Idea for Girlish
FrOckS for Fall Wear.
Circular Skirt Comes Bobbing Its
Way Into the Realm of
Favored Fashion.

Dresses of jacquard crepe made in
very simple designs are quite an idea
for girlish frocks for fall. The silk
has about it more body than the ordl-
nary quality of silk, and by reason of
its patterns and the two tones of its
coloring it is especially adapted to
dresses for daytime ear one Of
these youthful frocks was made of Il
jacquard fabric that combined two
tones of blue, and a hint of gold was
hidden away in its weaving. The col
lars ana cuffs were of the 'Bramley
blouse" variety and they were made
of cream needleWork with a narrow
cream lace cdging. The dress itself
was of the one-piece fashion with Il
narrow belt Ia hold it in place and
long sleeves to make it more appr0-
pirate for fall and winter wear.

promises to have a certain well-de-
fined vogue. Many Of the W mod

cut, but trimmings that accentuate the
round and round tendency of the skirt

FADED AND GRlMY CLOTHES
May Be Given New Lease
Of Life.

There comes a time In the life OF
many a garment Of colored wash ma
terial when the color it once pos
sesSed is streaked and faded. The
blue has turned n dirty oyster color,
yellow is Il streaked tan, green Is
more yellow than green, lavender Is
either very pale or actually turned to-
light blue through the action Of wash
ing powders on the lavender dye.
But don't forget that faded and
grimy clothes may be dyed so as to
give the garments n new lease on life.
The color selected should be darker
than the color of the old material, but
this does not mean that 1t need be
duh. 1t sometimes happens that a
child'S frock or suit has both become
faded and is too small. Now, although
there may he none of the original
material with which to let 1t down, 1t
is quite possible to dye n little plain
material with the faded garment with
which TO mend it.,
1t is quite easy for the amateur to
get interesting effects from the proc
ess known as tying and dyeing. To
do this you tie a knot in the material
before o put 1t in the dye vat SO
that the dye takes on an interesting
design, leaving the part OF the mate
ria within the knot free from dye.
Silk dyed in this way makes interest
ing cushion tops OF lamp shade
covers, especially for the cottage or
bungalow where you wish to gain In
~terestinn effects at Small cost.

STYLES OF SPAIN ARE SEEN
the Winsome Articles Of Apparel
That Are on Display.

More than any other European ma
ton, Spain is the heir Of the Orient.
Her architecture, her philosophy and
her literature as well as her ornaments
are all strongly tinctured with the
fine colors and dramatic designs
which originated in the Near East.
Spain was the one great nation in
centuries by an oriental people, and
under the Moors she vas the center of
culture, learning, tolerance and art.
When the Moor was finally driven
from Spain in the reign of Ferdinand
end Isabella, he left behind him great
wealth, funds Of learning and an al
most universal love Of beauty.
AT least a form of this lovellness
has been preserved in tbg Spanish
peasant art. Fashions cone, modes
veer and customs change. but at regu-

fashion again discovers the charm Of
things Spanish.

Several American roads that haven't

ed since the war began, and the o.
v. can be done the same way. The
men that advanced the means to build
the road can by the connivance of
the state of Florida be swindled out

financial interests of the whole world
stand on a foundation of honest
credit, and when you abuse it in one
place all the rest of the fabric pre-
pares to prevent you from abusing it
again. If you are slick enough, you
can swindle bank out of few hun
dred or maybe few thousand dollars,
but you will have to travel a long
ways before you can swindle another
one. If the Oklawaha Valley is put in
the hands of men who the moneyed
interests are certain will make it pay
and also pay its past debts, it can
obtain money and material to make it
good road. If it doesn't do this it
will lay there until the rails oxidize
and the rolling stock disintegrates.
Among the delegation to the Star
Monday was one good old brother,
who was worried about the schools.
He seemed to think that if the rail-
road was tied up that the schools in
its vicinity would be shut up. He
needn't worry. All of Marion county
has suffered from the tax dodgers of
the 0klawaha Valley, and all the
county will bear the loss. As long as
the schools of Ocala, Citra, Dunnellon
ard other places stay open, the
schools of Burbank, Fort Mccoy and
Orange Springs are not going to be
shut. The people of that section are
having hard time just now, but let
them stand for justice instead of ex-
pediency and their country shall

THREE METHODS OF
INCREASING CROP YIELDS

As / have said before, and will pos
sibly say again, many, many times,
there are three means of increasing
crop yields-with better fertilization,
better preparation and cultivation
and better seed. The best and least
expensive of these three is the use of
better sed.
This applies to all field crops. The
writer has had personal experience of
this fact in work with corn, oats and
sweet potatoes. 1t is not too late to
select seed corn in the field this fall.
And sweet potatoes are just begin
ming to be harvested. 1t is hard to
believe that such increases as have
been made with field selected sweet
potatoes ca nbe obtained, but they
are matters of authenticated record.
The Virginia truck experiment sta
tions at Norfolk and at Tasley got an
increased yield of 40 per cent with
field selected seed. Mr.. E. NJ. SLAM
son of Williamsburg, Va, got an in
crease of over 40 per cent. On Pebble
Hill plantation, % miles north of
Tallahassee, an increase of so per
cent in yield was obtained in 1919
with seed that were selected in the
field in the fall of 1918.
The writer saw these last mentioned
potatoes plowed up and measured.
fnlI
planted with draws from the selected
Porto Ricos. All the field had the
same fertilization and cultivation.
These five rows yielded as many
bushels as did the five rows above and
the five rows below put together. In
1920 the whole crop was produced
from the potatoes from these five
rows, and was a most satisfactory
yield.
One of the strongest reasons for
getting good seed potatoes is that it
is so easy and simple to do. When
blowing up potates save all for seed
that have eight or more potatoes to
the vine. Then Gull out those that
do not have the desired market shape,
size or color Never take any for
seed if any disease shows on the
plant or potatoes. An increase in
yield of five per cent will pay for the
trouble.
| would like very much to help any
one in this work But you don't have
to wait for me. However, / want to
request that all who adopt this plan
please let me know of it. If you save
more than enough seed for yourself,
there may be calls for it.
