FARM LOAN MONEY READY

Farmers in Mississippi much interested in the an
nouncement that four million dollars available
through the Federal Loan Bank at New Orleans
The Farm Loan Bank has been tied up for long time
on account of litigation challenging the constituonality
Of the Farm Loan Law. few weeks ago the Supreme
Court handed down decision unfolding the law and
loans should come through without much difficulty.
There is disadvantage to which the farmers Of
Mississippi will be put and that is the lack of adequate
fire insurance improved lands No loans will be made
improved property where the buildings not prop
ery insured
Columbus has adequate insurance through its local
insurance company but whether not this protection will
reach to the rural sections is not certain.
At any rate the farmers Of this section should file their
claims and applications for loans and get the processes Of
putting the loans through started
Several hundred thousands Of dollars Of federal loan
money in this section would contribute great deal toward
the development of agricultural and dairy industries
provided the money properly invested in the things that
go to build up these activities.

~"The most deplorable sight Of all

Infant mortality Is exceedingly high
because Of under-nourishment and the
high percentage of contagious diseases.

WON THE CORN SHOW PRIZE

"a PROPHET is not without honor
"a save in his own country and in
his own house," said the Christ. His
tory avouches the truth of this saying.
Yet there are exceptions, and here is
one right at our doors: The State and
Middletown, through The Transcript,
are proudly sounding the praises of its
well-known citizen, James T. Shall
cross, for winning, in the Delaware
Corn Show, at Newark, from compet-
itors all over the State, the prize for
the best ten ears out of 22OO of that
cereal, and also the purple ribbon for
the best 20 ears in the whole Show.
There's a double triumph for you,
and one too, of which any man might
we'll be proud But this sort of thing
has become a fixed habit with Mr..
Shallcross who, is one of the very best
farmers in our state, for he has time
and again thus carried off as against
our foremost agriculturists, various
prizes given for cereal products. The
Transcript wishes him many more such
pleasing recognitions of his skill as a
worthy disciple of Ceres.
These prize incentives to greater
and better crop production, is highly
useful form Of promoting the general
welfare, and the state should have
more of them, not only in farming but
also in other fields of productive in

LET US HAVE A BUDGET

A MONG number of important ques-
"A tions whose solution is the duty of
the General Assembly now in session at
Dover, the foremost is the adoption OF
state budget system.
In many of the largest and most pro-
gressive states and cities this rational
method of spending the funds of the
people arising from their taxation, has
invariably proved great success. 1t
is science applied to state finance and
represents a later and better way just
as the steam railway and the telegraph
and telephones do in locomotion and in
speech.
One great benefit flowing from
its use even if there were no others,
will of itself be enough to warrant its
adoption viz. , it lessons political graft
and waste in the handling of public
funds. The professional politician and
''boss'' want no budget, for it hurts
their trade.
Then another and possibly equal ad-
vantage to the state from its use. is the
fact that it is the foe of another evil,
second only to downright graft and
thieving in the use Of the peoples
money-extravagance, perhaps ou1
greatest national and private sin.
in private life, credit always leads to
unwise and needless spending; and it is
precisely the same with the use of tax
funds, for legislatures and city councils
are ever prone to indulge in excessive
and unwise expenditures. By all
means, then, let Delaware, that has at
bound advanced from the ignoble sta
ton of the 38th state in its educational
system to the very first, join the ad-
vance guard states in using this great
conservator of the peoples tax monies

PRETTY CAMlSOLE FOR GIRLS
Dainty Crepe De Chine or Mercerized Affairs Can Be Made With
 Slight Effort.

It is impossible for girl to have too many camisoles. Dainty little crepe de chine or merceriZed lawn affairs can be made in half of no time.
 A strip of material little wider in front than at the back and half as long again as the bust measurement of the Wearer, an edging of Valen- ciennes or flet insertion (the straight edge is much smarter than scallOped lace edging). a hem for an elastic run ner, ribbon shoulder straps and a lit tie wreath of handmade roses. That's all. but how attractive
 And about the shoulder straps. Give each shoulder two straps instead of the customary one. Set them across on the shoulders and hold them together with a wee rosebud or roSette of ribbon.
 This is the brilliant idea of a French woman, and straps made like this never slip or get uncomfortable.

Silk and cloth are all so much used this year. in both dark and bright cOlOrs, that one can choose practically ally color that is be coming or that goes nicely with ones street clothes. 4 combination of fabrics, too. is just as modish for hats as for dresses, so hat crown of silk draped around with cloth or feathers is way to utilize scraps. An old silk dress, either taffeta or satin. can be used even when quite worn if cOv- cred where there is a thin spot with wool silk or chenille embroidery. Me tallic threads, too, make an old fabric look quite new and smart. AS feath- CTS are more used this year on hats than formerly, it is possible to make a feather 'melange"-that is. to use up a great many small feathers of all colOrs and band a tOque with them To hold them in place piece of maIines in dark blue is both neat and attractive.

Navy Blue Is First Choice, With Brown and Castor in Turn
 for Plain Coiors.

Spring taiIor-madeS of American origin are decidedly youthful in every detail of development. This is a fash ion note of especial interest to almost every woman.
 Navy blue, according to one fash ion authority, is unquestiOnably the first choice in color, with brown and castor in turn for plain cOlOrs, but there is a most pleasing and complete assortment of small check materials in such color combinations as brown and tan, green and tan, green and blue, navy and gray, green and gray.
 And the two or more color plaids used for skirts and combined with plain-cOlor jackets iii harmOnizing con- trast are not forgotten. In fabrics, tricotine, poiret twill and velours for plain cOlOrs and fancy WOOlen fabrics, velours and tweed in color combina- tion effects are the accepted style.
 The box-jacket suit most adequate ly portrays the trend of the moment to give a youthful appearance, slim ness, tailored smartness, but nOth- ing bordering on the masculine. There is not even severe tailored appearance to the strictly tailored garments.
 The jacket of this suit of navy tri- cOtine is semiftting, with long arm holes and a three-quarter length loose fitting sleeve The skirt is an inter esting close-fitting model, with a sort of panel back, and is not so extreme ly short as the skirts of the past sea- son.
 On long straight lines is the loose fitting coat of the suit of poiret twill, trimmed with wide hercules braid, the trimming giving a sort of double coat or cape effect that is new and inter- esting. This type of coat makes for a youthful appearance, for it quite successfully conceals the natural fig ure lines and produces straight-line

SWEATER DRESS FOR KIDDlES
Knitted Garments With Long Waists and Short Piaited Skirts At
 tract Attention

Among the prettieSt of children's s clothes, writes a Paris fashion corre- spOndent, are the smart little top coats carrying all the fashion ideas seen in the motor coats of grown ups. Very abbreviated full coats are cut with kimono sleeves and narrow standing collars. They open in the front like a painters Smock, and are slipped on over the head. The stand- ing collar usually faStenS with a bow tie. The coat may be of gray or cas- tor color, trimmed with bands of bright peasant embrOideries.
 The tailored suits for children are quite those of the grande dame. Moth ing that goes with the' dress of the grownup is lacking. The most favored style is the straightline box coat, usually worn without a belt of any sort, or if belt is used it is in the form of a trimming or side belt. A great many collars are of the Dutch type, which is so becoming to children.
 On cool days knitted sweater dresses, with long waists and short plaited skirts, are seen. Sometimes they are untrimmed and merely tin- ished with a banding of the same material, and again the neck, sleeves and bottom of the skirt may be band ed with a contrasting material.
 Many little girls are seen wearing bright colored homespun frocks em- brOidered in wool One of yellow homespun was made with long waist. The skirt was extremely short and full. The dress was trimmed with a running stitch of wool in sev- eral bright shades.
