Fads and Fashions of Today
Rx DOROTHY PHILLIPS

Fringes and scarves are prominent
ly to the fore in the sartorial march
these days. Both these accessories
have been with us during many sea
sons, but this year they are appearing
in quite new roles.
Since the frightening of skirts pro
hibits the use of fringe around the
hem, the dressmakers have taken it
and added it to the sleeve hem, to
the hat, gloves, parsols, neck lines
and fans, as the finishing touch. 1t
threatens to be quite a fringe season
this summer in spite of the fact that
this form of trimming is apt to give
rather heavy air to the article it
adorns.
Scarves, which appeared early in
the spring in gay batik colors, knot
ted around the neck in careless COW
boy fashion, have been given much
more dignified place in the wardrobe.
Now, indeed, they have become quite
the most important part of the
gown, and as they advance into the
more formal costumes of milady's
wardrobe more and more elaborate
effects in fabric and motif are
achieved.
On the simplest of chemise frock,
we find filmy scarces transforming
the garment into a an impressive Gre
alton by means of their impressive
embroidery of jet and crystal.
Draped across the shoulders at the
back of an evening frock with long
ends falling below the hem in train
effect or twisted in clever lines over
the left shoulder, joined at the right
of the waistline and flowing in filmy
rhythm, these scares are unquestion-
ably the chief note Of the costume.
| In tea gowns we see plain satin
slips yelled by a very wide beaded
scarf which falls over the shoulders
to the waistline at the back, thus
front well below the waistline, cross
ing and the two ends brought to the
back Of the garment forming two

THE SWEET CLOVER SITUATION
BY ROY o. WESLEY,
Farm Corps Department.


Sweet clover has proven to be out
of the weed Class" and we'll adapted
to pasture purposes, according to
Prof. Roy D. Wesley of the State
college, 1t is plant that helps build
up the soil, and does we'll under more
adverse conditions than alfalfa On
this account, if for no other, it is
believed sweet clover will find a per-
manent place on Washington farms,
for good stand Of alfalfa is difficult
to secure in many sections. The crop
also shows promise Of increasing the
productiveness of many of our native
pastures as we'll as building up the
soil for other crops.
At the Washington Experiment sta
ton, at Pullman, an 81 acre second
year growth of white sweet clover
furnished pasture for 140 days when
pastured with an average Of 2.94 dairy
COWS per acre. This record is Of pc
culiar interest since successful pas
ture crops are very limited in this
section Of the state.
Has Many Advantages.
Sweet clover has several advant-
ages as a pasture crop alone First,
it comes on earlier in the spring than
other green feed, and may be pas
tured closely without apparent dam
age. In fact it should be pastured
when four or five inches high to pre-
vent getting too coarse and to cause
new shoots to form. Second, it gives
abundant pasture the first year when
seeded in the spring without nurse
crop. Third, it does not produce
bloating of livestock as do alfalfa and
red clover. This is because an acid,
cumarin, is contained in sweet clover,
which tends to correct digestive dis
orders rather than cause them. 1t
is this acid which gives the plant the
characteristic taste and odor and usu.
ally makes it necessary for the stock
to learn to eat 1t, eg. as most Of us
learn to eat olives. This taste is east
ly acquired if they are allowed to
pasture while the plants are quite
young. Fourth, it remains green
throughout the summer, and fifth,
may be pastured late in the fall for
it does not require a growth to go
through the winter.
The white and yellow blossom bien-
NAL types are the only ones of any
Importance as yet, and care should be
taken to prevent getting the annual
yellow type, the seed Of which may

DRYING VEGETABLES.

Drying is race with decay. The
shorter the drying process the better.
The problem is to SO apply the princi-
pies of evaporation that the dry stage
is reached in the shortest possible
time, without damaging the texture or
injuring the flavor of the fruits and
vegetables.
Drying of fruits and vegetables may
be done in the home by using either
the sun or the kitchen stove. In the
sun 1t Is necessary to have glass
over the material to be dried and
there should be a screen around the
box to keep the insects and bees
away. Over the stove, either a
screened hanging rack or home
made apple box drier may be used
Two vegetables which lend them
selves we'll to drying are peas and
green's Peas should be dried as soon
as picked, IL possible; the soon the
better. The best results may be OBJ
tanned by cooking until almost done
in salt water, dipping in cold water
and then drying. The drying should

Recommends Sweet Clover for
Pasture and Soil Improvement

be distinguished by its dark color and
by the white, gritty patches on the
seed which resemble miniature
pieces Of concrete or mortar. Since
the biennials are used it means that
the second crop must be seeded anew
every two years, or pasturing with
held the second year long enough for
it to re-seed itself. Some men prefer
to disc or harrow in some seed each
spring, and still others harvest seed
crop the second year and cause
enough seed to shatter to reseed the
field This detail may be worked out
satisfactorily on each farm with very
little Inconvenience
Annual Sweet Glover Not Desirable.
The agricultural theater" Of the
state of Washington seems to have
no reserved seat for "Hubam," the
annual white sweet clover guest from
Iowa and Alabama In other words,
this clover has rot won a place for
itself in most sections of Washington,
according to the reports available.
Many trials of small amounts Of seed
have been made during the past two
years by farmers over the state, but
it has been late in ripeniag seed, and
/ the reports have not all been favor
able 1t seems difficult for this much
| touted crop to find a place for itself
in the agriculture of this state, to say
nothing OF becoming adapted to any
particular section. Surely it can not
compete with alfalfa, or the ANNALS,
field peas and vetch where they are
grown for feed or seed, so it seems
that the only crop for it to nose
out" is biennial sweet clover; and
since the most important use of sweet
clover in this section is for pasture
it would seem that two-year crop Is
! more desirable than seeding an an.
nual every year.
For pasture, eight to IL pounds Of
seed will be sufficient for most local
tiles, although in humid sections, 20
pounds Is the common rate. A heavy
stand is desired for pasturing, but
10 pounds of seed will furnish this if
good, sacrificed seed is obtained
The demand for pasture crops for
nearly all classes Of livestock, includ.
ing poultry, may be satisfactorily met
under nearly all conditions with bien.

called a weed for many years.

Homemade JavelIe Water.

Among the many recipes given out
by Miss NJ Minerva Lawrence, is one
for the making Of home made Javelle
water, which has become popular
among the women. This is a very
helpful solution to remove all Sorts
of stains from household linens. 1t is
made by dissolving one pound of sal
soda and onequarter pound chloride
of lime in two quarts of cold water.

Martha therefore commands Christ.
Martha in accusing Mary of selfish.
ness revealed her own.
Martha, thou are anxious and
troubled about many things" The
sympathy, forbearance, and tact OF
Jesus are lovingly manifested in His
tender rebuke to Martha. The morti-
fication of Mary and the discomfort
of others present is forgotten in the
sweetness of the disclosure of "the
one thing needful" The one thing
needful is to know Christ. Look up
Ps. 27:4; 1925; John 1913; Cor.
2:2; Phil 3:10). CAS- many as Christ
loves, He rehukes.' (Rev. 3:16; Heb.
1880. Jesus rebukes Martha not for
serving, but for much serving. Martha
opened her home to Jesus; Mary
opened her heart. The incident was a
text for sermon on the chief food
for the soul. Christ says but one thing
is needful. The world says everything
is needful but that one.

actly equivalent to the wages of a
man for a whole year, working every
day in the year. Mary's uncalculating
love stands out in contract with the
calculating prudence of Judas, the be-
trayer. Judas was not alone in his
criticism of Mary's act. "And they
murmured against her" Mary did
more for the poor by pouring out the
costly ointment that day, than had
she sold it and given the money di-
rectly to the poor, for, her deed OF
love has been a blessing to the poor
of all later ages.

THE NEwLANDs MEMORIAL

The gift Of the Newlands Mem
orial park by the heirs of Nevada's
illustrious senator In every way
symbolizes the rich blending Of the
finer things which went to make up
the character Of Francis G. New
lands.
For ten years in congress and
in the senate, Newlands urged the
federal financing Of the reclamation
of the arid areas of the west.
Former Director Newell of the recla-
nation service, who observed the
long and almost single-handed fight,
has declared that the Nevada rep
resentative carried on" while his
proposals were viewed by his col
leagues in the spirit of amused toll
Grafton accorded by practical" men
to the offerings Of a genial vision
airy.
It was not until Theodore Roose-
welt came into office that this view
was abandoned or greatly modified
but in the aggressive president Ne
vada's senator found q powerful
ally. To Francis G. Newlands the
west owes not less than a million
and a half acres Of cultivated land
won from the desert under the
reclamation act and upwards Of
10000 Of its citizens who now live
on the reclaimed area.--Reno Jour

ARIZONA AND THE COLORADO
RIVER

Governor Hunt Of Arizona has
come out in his true colors after
aiding behind various subterfuges
As a pretext for refusing to permit
his personally owned legislature to
sanction a contract with the other
six states for, utilizing the waters
Of the Colorado river. Hunt has
the backing Of interests that have
had their eyes on the dam for
several years and, when he speaks, he
echoes the sentiments Of that cabal
Of capital that controls the destinies
Of Arizona. The most singular
feature is that Arizona has not had
its vision broadened by the various
conferences dealing with food CON-
troll and regulation Of the big river.
The state was a party to the pact
by which all other states interested
in the river entered into q sacred
agreement to turn the river over
to . commission with federal Az
thority. On the strength Of this
resolution the other signatory states
have carried out their part Of the
pact in an honorable manner, back
ing up the pledges Of represents
(tiyes at the Santa Fe conference.
This was done without hesitation.

KEEP CHILDREN AND GUNS
APART

A rife in the hands Of an eight
year-old boy was accidentally dis
charged at Chicago and an estimable
woman was shot in the lung, dying
as a consequence of the wound.
What manner Of person gave that
rifle to the boy! To be sure it
was Of small calibre, but a bullet
is a bullet and let q child have a
loaded gun or carless man or
woman, it is all the same, the bull
let kills. It is not possible to keep
loaded weapons out of the hands of
adults, although some Of them are
SO reckless with the guns that laws
should be passed to prevent their
possessing them. But for a child
to have a rife in his hands means
that he was given it by someone.
Who? That is the question that
the Chicago police should investi-
gate.-Reno Gazette.

INDIAN WIRES DEAD
COYOTE FOR SAFETY

An Indian boy working for J. C.
Riodan on his ranch near Sunnyside
had queer mixup with q mad coy
ote during the winter. The boy was
sleeping In a log cabin q few rods
from the barn and cofrals. He
heard q racket outside and ran
out barefooted, having only q fash
light. Seeing the light the coyote
came straight for him and the In
dian had only the fashlight with
which to defend himself, 30 he
struck the coyote on the nose with
1t. This felled the animal, they be-
ing easily stunned in that manner,
but the Indian had nothing there to
finish 1t with. There were some
rocks close by which were frozen
down but they could not be Jared
loose with the Indians bare feet.
He ran to the barn for q 20 rife,
thinking to kill It with that, but
the gun was empty, having been
shot a number Of times that day.
and by that time the coyote had
regaind its feet and started for
him again. The Indian got hold
OF five cartridges and shot at Il and
hit every one Of the five times,
but 1t kept approaching until the
nth shot, when It was hit between
the eyes and keeled over dead.
Since the animal had been ten
acious Of life the Indian was not
convinced that 1t was dead, and to
make sure that It would not get
away, he gathered some wire and
twisted It around the coyotes hind
leg, dragged it to a fence and wired
it to a post. When the victor went
back to the spot in the morning the
coyote was still dead and wired "a
the post. ~
It proved that . large sheep had
been slain by the mad animal before
the Indian came out Of the cabin.
The sheep was disembowled and
otherwise torn, but none Of II was
eaten, a. rabid animals do not eat
or drink.-White Pine News.
