Wheat Turning Out Well

During the present week all of the
available threshing rigs in this section
have been busily engaged in threshing
the 1922 wheat crop, and judging from
the few reports we have been able to
obtain the yield will average from %
to 80 bushels per acre. The quality is
also considered good, but the prevailing
prices are far below what they should
be. At this writing the local dealers
are offering from 81 to 81. 05 per bus6el,
and when the costs of labor, phos-
phate, ETC., are considered, wheat grow.
ing is certainly very Improbable crop.

Lioht Wears Our Clothes Out.

There is nothing more destructive
70 clothing than strong sunlight. Cot
ron and wool fibers are very tough
and elastic They will withstand rub
bling and twisting 10 a surprising do
gree. Rain and the air affect them
very little. Yet exposure TO a weeks
sunshine will cause them 10 become
harsh and brittle so that they easily
break and wear.
If worn in the dark, an ordinary
suit of clothes would last at least ten
years. But sunlight weakens fabric
according 10 its color. A dark cloth
retains its strength longer than one
tinted with red, green or yellow. ON
the other hand. blue and violet light
is more harmful than red and yellow
Not all dress materials are affected
alike by sunshine. Wooden fabrics
wear out faster than cotton. This
partly explains why wooden cloth
fades less rapidly than cotton fabric
of the same color When sunlight acts
on colored wooden cloth, the cloth
suffers first and thereby partly pro-
tects the dye. In cotton materials the
sunlight ruins the dye first

in EVENING WEAR
Drapery Gives important Touch
to Formal Apparel.
Exquisite Brocades Of Silver and Gold
and Vivid colors Are Uced for
Decorations.

For the evening dress there is moth
perry, asserts fashion authority, The
materials are as handsome as any fab
rlcS which have made their debut from
antique times until modern ones. There
are exquisite brocades of silver and
gold and vivid colOrs. or course they
cost fortune per yard, but then
very few yards of them viii make the
gown, and there need be not the slight
est degree Of trimming In the design
of the fabric itself there Is quite
enough 10 make the gown notable and
there need not be the slightest trim
ming The fact is that trimming would
spoil the effect and that anything the
least fancy added to the plain straight
lines Of the gorgeous material would
be a superlluous addition.
Many of the girdles for evening
gowns are made with motif over the
stomach. Some Of them are made in
rounder, fuller motifs. Of a compost
ton Of many and various colored flow
ers fashioned from the colored ribbons.
Then, instead of streamers Of beads,
there are streamers OF the various col
Ors OF ribbons that hang from the
motif of flowers. In any ease these
motifs and the sircamers which hang
from them are the only decorations
which the gown boasts. but the colors
are so artistically and practically
chosen that they constitute tie decOra-
ton without any other help.
Under the modern method of dress
ing everything is done To make the
trimming of the gown harmoni2e with
the earrings and the stockings and the
slippers and. perhaps, scarf or any
other eXtrancCus decoration which is
used rs part Of the costume. These
extra bits are never put on, regardless
of the gown and its trimmings. bur
they are. on the contrary, harmonlzed
with the gown as il exists and. in tho
end they are able to carry out the
effect Of that gown in such manner
that they help materially TO produce
the general effect.
II is the same way with the straps
over the shoulders. Most every dinner
or evening gown has pair or at least
one OF these straps. and although the
space occupied by that hit Of decora-
ton is extremely srall, still it serves
To accentuate the character Of the
gown in such way that the small bit
Of trimming becomes a pertinent part
Of the design * "A whole.

BACHELOR OF ARTS RIGHTS
Formerly II Was His Privilege to
Teach. Hatless, In the School
of a Master.

by virtue of the power vested In me
by the board of trustees Of Podunk
university / do hereby admit you TO
the degree of bachelor of arts and To
all the rights and privileges thereof"
What cold comfort such knowledge
may bring 10 the budding \. Il. will
be made still colder by the informa-
ton that this particular degree means
virtually nothing, remarks a New York
sun writer. Historically, the A. Is.
degree was simply a license 70 teach

the Thirteenth century at Paris IL was
conferred upon students who had
passed certain preliminary tests-no-

fed List 10 the chronicler:
Bachelor lectures were apparently
looked upon rather in the light of
academical exercises for the lecturers
than means of instruction for the pu-
pills. II was sometimes necessary for
an ambitious student who was anxious
TO have an audience to bribe scholars
TO come and sit under him by gifts or
leans of money"
And what's more, an \. r. had 10
teach hnilcsS. The right 10 wear a
hat while teaching was reserved 70 the
masters and the placing Of the blrctta
or CAP sylnbolized the entrance from
bachelorhood To mastership.
And arc these the rights ard priv

years; Shouldn't prexy free himself
from the bonds Of precedent and de-
liver a more mcaningful formula:
But stay? There are some rights 10
which the new-fedged graduate may
cling.
When once he may add his name 10
those first two letters Of the alphabet
he may also get in line for the hon
orcd position of oldest living gradu-
re.' His degree confers upon him
also the privilege Of complaining that
"it wasn't like this in the olden days
and OF beginning his tales with "Do

NEW PURSES ARE ELABORATE
Precious Metals and Real Jewels
often Used in Working Out
Novelty Mountincs.

Great extravaganza is manifested
in the purses Of today. The bagmaker
must in way rival the ieweler, be-
cause ii is in the small shops devoted
10 the sale of high-claSs jewelry that
one finds the most beautiful specimens
Of handbags. Precious metals and
real jewels are often used in working
out novelty mountings, and other cost
~ materials, such as tortoise-shell
amber, ivory and semi-precious stones
are utilized for this purpose. In the
more practical purses marcaste trim
mings are used In profusion.
Square -mountinss Of real tortoise
shell are used on silk bags which are
ornamented with brilliants. 4 mono
gram inset with glistening stones.
often real rose diamonds, is used on
the more expensive ones. With such
an elaborate trimming the bag is de-
murely fashioned of black or navy
faille.
