CREPES FOR KIDDIES' WEAR
Fabric Is Seen in Party Dresses as
Well as Simple Daytime Frooks
With Smoking.

Crepe de chine is increasing in pop
ularity as fabric for children's
dresses, and is seen in treatments that
vary from the elaborate party dress
with Spanish lace to the simple day
time frock with shocking. These
shocked crepe de chimes for very lit
tie tots have been on the market fol
some time, and now they are coming
in for the much larger child.
The transition from this shocked
style to the Mother Hubbard is very
easy one, and the two types are both
included in group which is devel-
oped in pastel shades and in white
with colored stitching.
Party dresses are, of course, the or
der of the day during these weeks
and the littlest girl may find frocks
just as elaborate as her older sister,
if she does not favor the simple
styles that are designed for her. Her
frock will probably be sleeveless, and
if it follows the mode of many that
have been observed recently it will
have openwork at the shoulder seams
Coats are shown in bright colOrs
and in such dressy fabrics as panne
velvet, trimmed with fur. A smartly
dressed little girl of four was seen
in red from the top Of her round hat
to her crimson leggings and little kid
shoes. Another girl, Of twelve or
fourteen, was wearing three-quarter
length coat Of green velvet in un-
belted flarfng style, fastened at the
neck with little round steel buttons.

GLUTEN FEED FOR FAIL PIGS
Corn Is Not as Satisfactory for Swine
as II Is for Sheep and Dairy
Cattle.

1t has been found that corn gluten
meal is not extremely satisfactory as
a feed for fattening fall pigs. 1t is
not nearly so good feed for hogs as
for cattle and sheep. 1t brings better
results. with dairy cattle than with
beef steers. 1t seems that the most
satisfactory returns are made from
corn gluten feed for hogs when it is
fed in a self-feeder alone with corn
settled in another feeder and tank
age in third feeder. The results are
improved If this feed is fed in connec.
ton with good pasture.

Washing Blankets.

When blankets are being washed,
remember that the rinsing water must
be soapy In order to make them light
and fluffy. Another point is that oil
the waters in which the blankets are
washed should be of the same tenn
perature.

KEEP HORSES IN CONDITION
Injurious Practice to Permit Animals
to Go for Weeks Without Some
Attention.

Don't neglect to curry the horses
these days. 1t is injurious to allow
them to go for days and weeks with
out attention. A good currying once
ar twice week will not only make
them look better, but they will feel
be ter and keen in better condition.

MELON RATECUT
REPORT INFERIOR
However, Distributors Start A
Movement To Secure Reduce
ton For 1922 Crop

MOULTRIE, Feb, 8.-News stories
sent from Washington several days
ago by special correspondents stating
that the Interstate Commerce Com
mission had ordered a ten per cent
reduction in the freight rates on
wateImelons, were based on erron-
eous information, according to melon
buyers and railroad traffic men here.
They explained that the railroads
that voluntarily agreed to ten per
cent cut on certain farm products
for a period of six months, pending
an adjustment of the wage question,
did consent to let the reduction apply
to watermelons, but pointed out that
if all lines consented to such an
agreement little help would be receiv-
ed by Georgia growers, as the six
months period will end June 20, or
just about the time the Georgia mel
on season gets under way.
Big carriers operating in both
Georgia and Florida said that such a
reduction would manifestly discrimi-
nate against the Georgia growers and
for that reason they will not put the
cut into effect as matters now stand
Railroad men and melon buyers here
assert that the Interstate Commerce
Commission has not issued an order
on the melon rate question.
The Melon Distributors association
which held it's annual meeting here
last week, also agreed that there had
been no cut in rates on melon ship
ments from points in Georgia and
Florida and appointed committee to
take the question up with the rail.
roads with a view of getting volun-
tary rebellion. This will be done at
once and if the downward revision
is denied the matter will be carried
before the Interstate Commerce Com
according to r. S. Rodden-
berry, Of Moultrie, who is vice-presi-
dent of the association. The distrib-
utors association will ask for a resto-
ration of the rates in effect in. 1920
which amounts to about 80 per cent
reduction.
