TT appears that the mode has mind

to things that are splendid and intri-
cate and Is In no mood to be simple.
even In suits. Therefore the newly
arriving costume suits-the harbingers
Of spring-are mostly regal looking af-
fairs. We are likely to stand and gaze
at them, bewitehed and little bewil-
dered-for they are somewhat unfa-
miliar In design and very elaborate as
TO decoration-we cannot take them in
ut a glance.
There is an amazing variety in suits
and each has story all its own to
tell. But, in q few particulars the
fashion reporter may generalize. For
one thing there Is no departure from
the slim silhouette, and for another
there are many pleated skirts. The
wool materials used are exceptionally
light and soft, and they are eloquent
Of spring. Sleeves are emphasized
by unusual size or shape or masses Of
decoration. Some Of the suits have
very much the appearance Of a coat or
wrap and it must be conceded that
they are alluring.
A smart example Of the costume
suit is pictured here. Fine wool twills
make many of them. This one has a
wrap-around skirt, with the overlap
ping portion cut in a point and dec
Grated with bows Of stitching, ending
In small buttons.

AGRICULTURE

Strawberries are so easily handled
and require so little room that if only
one of the small fruits can be grown
in the home garden they should have
the preference. New plants for setting
out this spring can be purchased at
small cost from iiurseryman, or per-
haps may be obtained free from a
neighbor. In either case says. the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture, the bed should contain some
plants known as perfect-blossom va
riety, otherwise the plants of the i'm
perfect-blossom variety in the bed
will not be pollinated and consequent
ly will not bear fruit.
Strawberry blossom. are of two
kinds. One kind is called perfect,
staminate, or male, and the other kind
imperfect, pistilate, or female. Some
varieties have perfect blossoms and
other varieties have imperfect BIOS
some. Those with perfect blossoms
produce pollen which will fertilize
both perfect and imperfect blossoms
and enable them to bear fruit. The
varieties with imperfect blossoms can
not set fruit without receiving pollen
from perfect blossoms.
If both kinds are planted there
should be at least one row of the per-
fect-blossom variety to four rows
with imperfect blossoms. The nur-
seryman's catalogue will specify the
kind Of blossoms. Set the plants ear
ly in the spring, if possible, so they
will get the benefit of the spring rains
and make strong growth. Trim off
the dead leaves and all but one or
two live ones and cut the roots to or
S inches long. Spread the roots some
what and set the plants the same
depth in the soil as they were befo1e
they were dug. Be especially careful
not to set them deeper and not to get
earth over the growing crowns, for
this will probably kill the plants.
The plants may be grown in hills or
in narrow or wide matted rows. For
very small areas, plants set in hills
close together will no doubt produce
the most and largest fruit, but will
require more care than matted rows
For hill growing set the plants 1 foot
apart in the row and have the rows
just far enough apart to cultivate
easily, say from 2 to 8 feet; or set two
rows a foot apart in double rows and
have space Of 2 or feet between
the double rows. Keep all runners cut
off and give good cultivation, so as
to make extra strong plants.

Planting potatoes after the corn
has been put in, practice followed
by many Corn Belt farmers, does not
produce the best results, according to
a five-year experiment conducted CO.
operatively by the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture and the Iowa
Experiment Station. The fact that
the minimum growing temperature
for potatoes is fully 10 degrees lower
than for corn would make the reverse
of this practice seem advisable, and
yields from paintings made on vari-
Gus dates from early April to the mid
die Of June have proved this conten-
ton to be sound. The early planting
also has the advantage Of an early fall
market when prices usually are better
than a little later when marketing is
in full swing.
In this experiment the Rural New
Yorker variety was used and the
dates Of planting were set at Today
intervals, beginning April 10. The
seasonal rise in temperature reaches
the 40-degree line in central Iowa usu-
ally little before the middle of April.
The best yields were obtained from
paintings made shortly after the tenn
perature passed the 40-degree line.
Paintings made after the middle of
Nav produced a successive decline in
yield, and between the first and last
paintings there was spread of 65
bushels an acre. The average for the
five years for the April paintings was
1874 bushels and for the paintings
made the first half of June 1872 bush.

GOOD ROADS

When life was simple, problems
could be considered upon their own
merits, without relation to other
problems. The Colonial planter ate
what he raised, and cooked it over
wood he chopped, If he went on
journey, it was then time enough to
consider the horse, the coach, the
road over which he travelled. Tray
cling was one thing, and living at
home was another; neither affected
the other.
Today we eat what others raise
and cook it and keep warm by the
coal which others mine. And wheth-
er or not we ever go on a journey,
the roads-whether they be railroad
or river or canals or dirt roads-must
function to bring our food and fuel
to US, and to take from US the goods
we make. True, the farmer lives
from his own grain and cattle, but he
must yet depend on transportation t.
sell his product, and to bring him
what he buys with the reward Of that
product.
Transportation can not, now, be
considered as apart from any prob
lens. And it is especially part Of
the educational problem, since child
rem must go from home to school. and
where the school is some distance
away, must ride. The good road
means a good school, we'll attended
school, an effective school. The best
school, located on a mud wallow, mis-
called a road, can not instruct absent
children who can not get to school be-
cause Of the mud.
The schools of this nation can
never reach their fullest development,
or DO justice to our children. IN
til we have good roads everywhere.
All taxes are ilritants; but the tax
to build good roads and keep them
good, if properly spent, pays great
dividends, not only in decreasing the
cost Of hauling, and so increasing
profits, decreasing thu time Of
journey, and so increasing the time
Of earning, but in decreasing the
number Of "absents" on cnildren's re-
port cords, and 50 increasing their
school life.

THE DEATH RECORD.
WILLIAM HUTZELL.

William Hutzell died at his home
about five miles from Accident on
Sunday morning, July 18th. He was
aged 81 years, 7 months and 10 days.
His death was caused by Blood poison
ing, due to an infected tooth, the pa
tient also having been suffering from
a severe attack of whooping cough,
which developed recently. He had
been i'll but nine days when death
came. He was born in the state of
Pennsylvania, December Is, 1865. but
almost all his life was spent in Gar
rett County where he was well known
and respected by his many friends.
He was twice married, his first wife,
who was Miss Sarah Burkholder, died
about eleven years ago. Ten children
were born to this union and survive
him, namely: Joseph of Springs, Pa;
Charles and John, of Elk Lick, Pa;
Henry, present address unknown;
Christian, of this county, and Ed
ward, Of Fort Hill, Pa.;Mrs. Noah
Colmner, Scranton, Pa; Mrs. Calvin
Broadwater, Elk Lick, Pa; Mrs.
Floyd Mckenzie and Mrs. John Hanft,

dren also survive. In 1914 he married
Miss Lucinda Fresh who survives
this union. A brother. Henry Of

also survive. Mr.. TTutzeI was very
hale and hearty, never or seldom
having been ill before the illness
which caused his death. About two
weeks before his death he was max

A SOUND INVESTMENT FOR
FARMERS

We hear a good deal these days
about ways in which farmers can in
vest money in fertilizers, farm ma
chinery, thoroughbred stock and the
like so as to get better return on
their investment in land and labor.
With this movement all who are inter
ested in farm life are in agreement.
More power and success to it!
Speaking of investments, this is a
good time for farmers to check up on
the investment they are making in
their school. Boys and girls need
better school home than the cattle
and hogs, they need good tools, good
blackboards, plenty of books, shop
and noon-lunch equipment, and other
things to work with. Most of all they
need a good teacher-one who has
good education as a foundation and
special training for teaching added to
that. They need a school term nine
months in length, too, and teacher
who has maturity and experience
and native ability as well as eduea-
ten.
