SOUTH To FIGHT
FOR COTTON
BY International News Service


STANFORD. Tex. Oct. 15.-With
no prospect of help from other parts
Of the country in her fight to pro
tect the dropping in price of the
commodity on which her prosper
ity depends, cotton, the South is
raIlying on immediate and effective
measures to take care of itself.
A conference of 10000 repre-
sentatives from all cotton sections
Of the South has been called.
Methods of increasing the use OF
cotton in the South will be dis
cussed.
The first move which has been
suggested is the use Of cotton bag
ging rather than jute Of tow sack
ing for the shipment of all COM
modities of the South.
The east and west Texas cham
bers Of commerce are backing the
movement with powerful co-opera
tive organizations through the dis
trict that produces most of the
cotton grown in the United States.

WORKER IN SAND CAVE-IN

NEW YORK. Oct. 15.-Benjamin
Langford, a laborer, fought for the
life of a feIIow-workman with his
bare hands against a shifting sand
pile and won.

a 10O-foot sand pile when he saw
William Reineit, a fellow-worker,
being carried by a sand slide up
to his eyes.

pit. Himself buried to the waist.

sand with his bare hands, brushing
it away from Reineit's eyes.

LONDON, Oct. 15.-With coal at
ST q ton, three times. at least,
higher than pre-war prices, the Brit
ish housewife faces difficult propo-
sition for the winter.
Open fire grates.~ wasteful in coal
consumption, are practically uni
versal in Britain. A quarter of a

as an extravagant allowance for an

Very stringent regulation OF sup

Coat Lines Slim and
StraiCht for Season

The fact that coat lines remain slim
and straight is Of unusual Importance.
Except in a few isolated instances,
where there Is slight suggestion of
a flare or back fullness, the silhouette
is one of undertaking slenderness.
This is welcome news to those who
found flares bit too exaggerated for
their own particular types and cape
effects not so fattering as they had
hoped.
So beautiful are the materials used
for coats this season and so smart are
the designs and subtle color effects
that the slim lines and lack Of orna-
mentation only serve to accentuate
their distinction.
Self-toned patterns woven through
the surface are feature of some Of
the coats, while others reflect the
vogue for shaded effects and for har-
monious color combinations.

Sheer Fabrics Dominate
Mode. Dav or Evening

: For the girl whose summer is a con-
slant round of visits, frocks of chiffon
or georgette are ideal models. Not
only are they infinitely chic but their
added virtues of not crushing and
packing into small spaces make them
most satisfactory choice.
Fashion apparently has lost all recol-
lection. of the old idea that chiffons
and materials Of similar texture must
be reserved for formal costumes. In
the modes of midsummer one finds
them used for frccks of the utmost
simplicity. In fact, many are almost
tailored in line and detail. Very little
trimming appears on these dresses
as the materials in themselves are so
beautiful in coloring and design that
extra ornamentatiOn would only de-
tract from their srnartness.
The vogue of printed chiffons is at
its height and these colorful and fiat
tering frocks are in evidence at eve
ming affairs as well as in the after
noon. Small floral prints in exquisite
ly blended colorings are perhaps the
most popular. But equally charming
are materials that feature the newer
arrangement Of geometric and mod
ernistic design.

SPORT NEWS

New York shows itself quick to en-
thuse over celebrities. The outpour-
ing of people TO see the body of VAL
entino; the masses that crowded the
streets to get glimpse of "Trudie"
Ederle; and the big ovation offered
to Gene Tunny, show that hero wor-
ship, curiosity, or whatever it may be
called, is not special characteristic
of country folk.
It may be that city life, after all is
a humdrum experience. 1t may be
that the amusement offered becomes
so common thing, or perhaps so
expensive a thing, that when free
show comes. along, the populace
springs to action. The city dweller is
sometimes prone to poke fun at his
country cousin for being so curious;
but recent events go to prove that
the big town chaps are as eager. for
the novel as is anybody else.. And
sometimes the city individual eviden-
ces as much ignorance about country
life, as the countryman does about
metropolitan doings.

Chiffon Flowers Much
in Fashion Limelight

Chiffon flowers are seen everywhere
and these are generally used for dress
decoration Of one sort or another.
They are very graceful, exceedingly
becoming and softenipg to any set of
features. 1t is au fait to place flower
Of this large and spreading sort on
the shoulder, or to wear 1t at the
waistline, according to the demands
Of the dress with which 1t is to be
worn.
But its addition always adds q GER
tain soft something that knocks the
general severity Of the costume into
q cooked hat. A chiffon flower is but
a faint addition, adding none the less
Just that shadowy bit Of charm which
is quite the last word along with the

Lace Is Prominent as
Adornment for Frocks

The lace detail is occasionally car
ried into a more formal manifestation.
Long lace sleeves, for instance, may
be added to dinner frock which
last season would have been sleeve
less.
Another decoration for dinner and
dance frocks is the necklace sugges-
tion worked out as insert, applique,
beading or embroidery. Often it takes
the form of slender band following
the line of the decolletage into deep
v-shape ended with bowknot.

EVANGELICAL SUNDAY
SCHOOL PICNIC, SUCCESS

Last Saturday the scholars of the
Evangelical Sunday school were en-
tertained at a picnic given by the
teachers and officers of the school.
Sandwiches, cake, coffee, and ice
cream were served, as well as a big
can of lemonade, ard after dinner was
enjoyed by all, the afternoon was
spent In athletic contests, which gave
the youngsters a chance to show their
agility and strength. Following is a
brief record of the various events.
First the entire crowd was organ
lied into two teams which were called
"The Shamrocks," and "The Indians. ["
respectively. The two teams then en-
gagged in tug of war in which the
ShamrOcks walsed away with the In
dians; Their the members of the teams
strOve with might and main in the
other contests, each member trying to
pile up all the points possible for his
or her own side.

Ostby.
The yield this year has been ex-
ceptionally good. Summer fallow has
brought as high as 35 bushels. The

grading No. 1. This year, the pro-

pure seed of adopted varieties from
winter wheat sections in Montana.
A county exhibit of grain is being
sent to the State Fair. Some of the
samples are very good, and will give
the rest of the state good competi-
ton. However, Sheridan county is
handicapped somewhat because the
State Fair is little too early to get
pick of the best in the county be-
cause of comparatively later maturity
Nevertheless about 80 entries will be
sent from Sheridan county.
A Girls Club Demonstration team
consisting of Misses Goodlaxon and
COsper from Outlook, won a free trip
to the State Fair. There they will
