FrOck Fabrics
Made in Paris

The making OF women's clothes con-
stitutes the third largest industry In
the world. The uninitiated may speak
lightly of fashion, but nevertheless,
writes fashion authority, it is big
ger and more important subject, WELD
ing more widespread influence than
most people realize. One of the
strongest branches of fashions tree is
fabrics. For long time this was only
slender twig.
Then it suddenly began to grow
and in a very short period of time
convert its development into amazing
proportions. Designers now delight
to lavish their best efforts on textiles,
for here their art finds unlimited
scope. Woolens, silks or cottons-
any one taken separately is no small
subject today.
Rodier, the great French maker of
fabrics, is one whose genius apparent
ly never flags. During the months di-
rectly following the recent war, when
the difficulty of getting raw materials
and workers was almost insurmount-

WEEDS ARE GREAT NUISANCE
Constant Source of Troubles ts
Farmer in Raising crops-SteaI
Nourishment From Plants.

The farmer does not have to be told
that weeds are constant source of
trouble to him in the raising of his
crops. They not only cause him a
great deal of extra work from early
spring until late fall, but they are an
eyesore and seriously interfere with
the best crop yields. On every farm
they are nuisance and when we stop
to think of how common they are
throughout the country, how rapidly
they spread, and how much nourish-
ment they take from the growing
crops we are really surprised to know
that farm crop yields have been
brought up to their present high aver
age.

ed, and a great many would like to
see him come out for the Office.
Whether he will be a candidate, or
not, we are not prepared to, say at
