styles. However, the cleyerness Of
this new Dlrectoire note Is its faint
suggestion and the actual creation Of
distinctly modern things around this
basicly classic idea.
AS everybody knows, the Directoire
was development from the Creek
an effort, as it were, 10 adapt the sim
plcity and art Of early Greek dress
20 the uses of the adventurous, in
triguing spirit and manners Of the
turbulent DirectOire. Thus what i'm its
natural Greek environment was mod
est, simple and pure became fragrant
ly brazen, elaborate and vulgar. The
artificiallty OF French life at that
period transformed freedom into H.
cense, purity into grossness and art
Into sensuality.
Skirt Draped, Low Wastline Remains.
II Is matter of history that during
the French Directorate women who
adopted these so-called Greek fashions
creased their bodies in order that
their transparent and cllnging drap-
cries should reveal more clearly their
physical charms. II is claimed, too.
that during this period a mans sue
cess was only limited by his ambition
and a womans by her beauty. Thus
there was no limit in audaciOus dress.
Happily, today the Directolre motif is
somewhat tempered by sense or pro
priety.
The direct Greek Is strong also In
the new collections, and many OF the
most attractive afternoon and evening
dresses are Greek in spirit All
through the past winter there has been
tendency toward the draped eve
ming dress. In their effort to find
something distinctly new and interest
ing the Paris dressmakers have now
verged toward the DIrectoire; that Is.
the Directoire evidenced in the skirt
drapery, but not yet defined In the
bodice.
1t has been an easy step from the
Greclan styles of the winter to merge
into the Directore, because 1t was the
Greek that inspired the Drectoire
during the early trlumphs of Napoleon.
before he became so ambitious as TO
create an empire.
The Directoire has not been in vogue
since 1908, and 1t Is curious to relate
that 1t was displaced by the Moyen
Age or low waistline in 1909. Since
that time all the fashions have re-
volved around the low waistline and
the natural uncorseted figure.
Worth, who excels in evening
dresses, Is notably working on the
Dlectoire lines. He has made num-
berless day and evening dresses very
suggestive of that period. 1t is In
teresting to note, however, that the
draperies are treated In an entirely
original way. owing TO the fact that
they are now AZ the right side and
not the left, as In the original period.
The low waistllne is practically al.
ways retained.

 "Now we'll go over and see Abe, :" said Dr. Allen, after the deal was made. He's the best man with an ax and a saw in this part of the country. He clerks for MT. Offut. Abe Lincoln is one of the best fellows that ever lived-a rough diamond just out of the great mine of the West, that only needs to be cut and polished"
 Denton Offut's store was a small log structure about twenty by twenty which stood near the brow of the hill east of Rutledge's tavern. When they entered 1t Abe lay at full length on the counter, his head resting on a bolt of blue denim as he studied a book in his hand. He wore the same shirt and one suspender and linsey trousers which he had worn in the dooryard of the tavern, but his feet were covered only by his blue yarn socks.
 It was a general store full of exotic f1avors, chiefly tlJ-. of tea, coffee, tobacco, muscovatJ sugar and molas- ses. There was a counter on each side. Bolts of cloth, mostly calico, were piled on the far end of the right counter as one entered and the near end held a showcase containing a display of cutlery. pewter spoons, jewelry and fishing tackle. There were double windows on either side Of the rough board door with its wood en latch. The left counter held a case filled with threads, buttons, combs, colored ribbons, and belts and jews-harps. A balance stood in the middle of this counter. A chest of tea, a big brown jug, a box of can dies, a keg and a large wooden pail occupied its farther end. The shelly ing on its side walls was filled by straw hats, plug tobacco, bolts of cloth, pills and patent medicines and paste-board boxes containing shirts, handkerchiefs and underwear. At the rear end of the store was large fire place. There were two chairs near the fireplace both of which were oc- cupied by man who. sat in one while his feet lay on the other. He wore a calico shirt with a fanciful design of morning-glories on 1t print ed in appropriate colors, collar of the same material and red necktie.
 Abe laid aside his book and rose to a sitting posture. ~.

FARMERS ASK BOLLEY FOR
RESISTANT FLAX

Good yields of flax together with
the news Of a larger tariff on fax
seed and its products are resulting in
many calls for wilt resisting flax
seed, according to H. l.. Bolley, state
seed commissioner and originator Of
wilt resistant flax.
"The pure seed laboratory at the
present time is receiving many calls
for will resistant flax seed, improved
or registered seed wheat, other GER
calls and grasses" declares Mr.. Bolley:
ut is function of the pure seed
laboratory to analyze and test seeds
and report upon their contents. We
also register, certify and list seeds,
and send a list containing the names
and addresses Of the growers to those
who wish to buy. This tends to get
good seed sowed on the land. Those
who wish this work done should COM
municate at once with the State Seed
Commissioner, Agricultural College,
North Dakota. Please forward a
fair, representative sample of that
which is held for sale, and give the
facts necessary to the listing"

TRIALS SHOW EARLY SEEDED
ONIONS BEST

Onions seeded April Is yielded 486
bushels an acre and onions seeded
May yielded 234 bushels an acre,
while onions seeded May 26 yielded
only 1873 bushels an acre, according to
A. F. Yeager, horticulturist at the
North Dakota Agricultural College
who has just completed number of
dates of seeding trials.
Many different varieties were used
in the seeding trials but the figures
given above are for the Southport
yellow globe, one Of the best varieties
for North Dakota.
"Besides these trials to determine
the best. date of seeding, we conduct
ed trials to determine which variety
is best for North Dakota. Out of the
rs varieties used, we found that the
Southports, either red, white or yell
low, are the best, with Red Wethers-
field, Yellow Denvers, and Silverskin
second best, said Mr.. Yeager.
Most onions are grown in the field
directly from seed but there are some
high yielding southern kinds which
must be started in hot bed and set
out in the field. Giant Gibralters
yielded 1904 bushels an acre on the
experimental farm this year, accord
ing TO MT. I eager.
"Questions are often asked as to
which keeps better, red, white, or
yellow onion. Our trials show no
effect Of color on storage, but we find
that round onions keep much better
than the fiat type"
"Onions do we'll year after year on
the same ground and this method is
practiced by onion growers because
weeds are an important factor in the
cost of production of onions and once
a piece of land is free of weeds it is
valuable for onion raising.

AGENTS HELP FARMERS TO Sc
CURE LABORERS

County agents in Is counties Of
North Dakota placed a total of 1926
laborers with farmers for harvesting
and threshing this year, according to
figures received at the State Exten-
sion office.
Estimates of farmers are that they
saved so cents per day in wages paid
to these men and that the total saw
ing through work done by the coun-
ty agents in securing these men
would exceed 100000. The average
harvest wage paid in the rs counties
was 1887 per day, and the average
most localities laborers were paid by
the day and in a few by the hour.
The highest wages were paid in the
northern and northwestern part of
