What's New in
Fashions

Paris, Jan. 9.-The simplest and
most gorgeous gown yet put forward by
this seasons couturieres is one made
of golden cloth and silver lace. The
golden cloth is slashed at the neck just
enough to allow the head to pass
through and there are no sleeves.
Draped snugly about the figure in back,
the cloth is gathered into a knot at
the front of the waist and fastened
tire by a great bow of silver lace with
trailing ends.
Paris, Jan. 9.-Rather plain slip
pers of satin or of metal cloth are be-
ing worn at evening functions these
days. The heels are extremely slender
and the buckles tend toward unob-
structiye oblongs of gold or silver.
London. Jan. O.-An unusual and
likeable hat has just made its appear
ance here today. 1t has a wide brim
which turns down in back and up in
front. in sombrero fashion. The hat is
made up of strips of satin braided with
often a gold thread mingled with the
satin. Martin or beaver edges the briIn.
London. Jan. 9.-One long trailing
sleeve instead of train is the latest
fanciful idea today for evening frocks.
Two wide shoulder straps are used on
this type Of frock. Below the right
strap, the one sleeve starts as seps
arate venture, falling in long, veil-like
folds to drag upon the floor.

Good Manners

In the selection of stationery, as
in everything else relating to social
usage, what is fantastic or over
conspicuous is poor form.
For instance, such a combination
as white ink on deep purple paper,
while it would attract attention by
its eccentricity, would give also an
impression of bad taste on the
writer's part.

RECOMMEND FORMING
SHIPPING ASSOCIATION

The livestock shipping association
committee meeting held last Satur-
day at Poplar, in which representa-
tives from most of the western COM
munities were present, made the fol
lowing recommendations:
That, inasmuch as there is a big
demand for a cash market for the
smaller hog and cattle growers, that
some shipping organization through
out the county is necessary to give
these livestock growers the best mar
ket for their product.
That's, inasmuch as Roosevelt
county has at least sever different
marketing centers, that it should be
advisable for each one of these to
establish some kind of a shipping as
ISOLATION to take care of the live
stock surplus.
4. That small marketing associations
be organized at marketing centers
where there is a demand for such as
sociations.
That until shipping associations are
organized in shipping centers, organ
lied communities go together, pool
their stock and ship in ear lots on
the same plan adopted by the asso-
citation.
That, as soon as farmers get ia
miliar with and trained in coopera-
tive marketing, and as soon as the
directors of the several organizations
think it advisable, a county livestock
association be organized from the
several small associations and enough
employed to take care of the
operations of such an organization.
That the county agent do what he
can to help in the organization of
small shipping associations. that he

WATCHING PROGRESS
OF CORN VARIETIES

growing have visited the variety

Quoted on the farms of George Piercy
at B~ainville, John Dorgan at Ben
rud, and at the Indian school at
Poplar. From the looks of some of
these tests at the present time, the
Minnesota % seed secured from F.
Arnett at Culbertson, is farthest ad-
vanced of the dents and semi-dents
in the plot. There are also some
yellow dent varieties that are almost
up to the Minnesota % in maturity
and time will tell how these varieties
will compare in yield per acre and
maturity. Among the farmers that
visited the plot last Saturday were
Mr.. Barnes of Wa1ka; Carl Bull,
banker from Redstone; Earl Coin,
Harry Skrivan and Martin Trenne of
the Divide community; Garfield Gas
kell and Mr.. Breechbill of Seips COM

All of these farmers showed keen
interest in the plot and were impress
sed by the surprisingly small differ
in most of the varieties on dem
.onstration at this time of the year.

ALL FROM THE SOIL

THE fields invite. but too few &C
= cept the invitation.
It's not Gods fault or the fault of
the United States government If there
are idle men and hungry women and
children in this country. The fault
lies with the uneconomic distribution
Of those who work.
When too many are engaged in one
occupation, too few must necessarily
be employed in others. If so many
are working in factories that there are
not enough remaining properly to till
the soil, food and clothing are natural
~ made so expensive that those who
live in the cities find it difficult or i'm
possible TO get the real necessaries Of
life even though they draw big pay.
OF course one must reckon with the
problem of distribution in figuring the
cost lof the market basket-and there
is a dire need of improving the system
so that the spread" in values from
the farm to city table is naturally re-
duced. But. when it is considered
that virtually everything we eat and
wear comes from the soil, and when 1t
is known that little work on small
patch of land will provide enough of
the necessary goods to maintain
family of five, it IL foolish to argue
that God and the government are to
blame for many being out Of work and
without food. Thousands Of acres of
fertile soil are lying neglected and un-
titled in this rich land of ours. BY
properly distributing our labor and by
Intensive methods of farming half as
efficient as were found in Germany
previous to the war, the United States
not only could give pleasant, healthful
employment to all the people able and
willing to work. but could produce
enough of the absolute necessities to
feed all Americans and have surplus
sufficient to feed and clothe all the
undernourished peoples of poverty
stricken regions throughout the world.
We in the United States are unap-
preciative of our blessings. While

sections of great cities. crying for jobs

AGNES

THE Greek word agos. signifying a
- matter of religious awe, gave the
adjective agnos, meaning sacred, pure,
and it, in turn. names the tree whose
twigs the Greek matrons strewed on
their beds during the festival of Deme-
ter, which the Romans called Agnus
Castgs.
Incidentally, the Latin word for
lamb Is agnus, and since this animal
was used for the sacred purpose of
sacrifice. Agnes comes by her heritage
of purity and sanctity logically.
One of the first women to bear the
rame of Agnes was the gentle Roman
maiden whose martyrdom named the
Church of ST. Agnese. 1t is said to have
been built by Constantine on the spot
where she was put to the utmost proof
and retains an old mosaic, picturing
her clad only-in her flow ing hair, being
dragged along by brutal soldiers. An
other ancient church covers the cata-
comb where she was inferred, and the
story goes that while her relatives and
pilgrims who came to pay their hon.
age were weeping there one day she
appeared. suddenly, in radiant glory,
with lamb of spotless whiteness.
The gospel for st. Agnes day was
the parable of the ten virgins and,
since she was accused Of magic arts.
the English superstition arose that, by
watching and fasting on st. Agnes
Eve. maidens could discover their fate
in marriage; by praying nine times 70
the moon, and fasting three ewes in
succession. they could secure whom
they would. Keats, in his exquisite
poem, "The Eve of st. Agnes" refers
to this superstition:
They told her how. upon St Agnes Eve.
Young virgins might have visions of de-
light.
II ceremonies due they did Alright:
As supperless to bed they must retire,
And couch supine their beauties. lily
white:
Nor look behind. nor sideways. require
or Heaven with upward eyes for all that
they desire.
Agnes is popular in England, Scot
land and, as royal name, in France
and Germany. France calls her AGNES I;
Agneta is an English form; Agnese,
Agnesca and Agnete are Italian. The
Welsh form is Nest. The jewel as
signed to Agnes is the agate which
gives courage and guards its wearer
from danger. 1t is considered a cure
for insomnia and insures pleasant
dreams. Thursday is fortunate day
| for Agnes and talismanic number.
If she dreams of her jewel, ii Is sign
OF a journey. Her flower is the Wild
rose. signifying simplicity.
