vVTITH all the flatteringly becoming hats
w available just now, any girl ought 10 be
able to get ahead. Never has there been
so wide a diversity of types and never have we
been able to secure so many attractive hats for
so small a sum. We are able TO indulge our pet
extravaganza of having a different hat to go

In an effort to give you all a comprehensive

a-Are tomatoes. lean meats. po-
tatoes or coffee particularly fatten-

A.-Probably due to a lack Of syn

cleverly applied band of Persian lamb. Devotees
OF the favorite black and white theme should
rejoice in the second model which is of white
embroidered velvet with a band of black velvet.
The black toque with the upturned brim has a
turquoise band with a matching feather trim.
Now for the large hats. The pompons Of gold
colored feathers are nesting on a dark brown
felt hat with a brim rolled up in front and the
right side longer and split. Those seeking an
idea for a large black felt hat might do worse

that the board purchase 100000 bushels OF this years
wheat crop as a means Of relieving the current price

hot message was sent to His Excelency Of Kansas:
"One of the most depressing factors IN the present
situation is the practice which has developed in re-
cent years Of dumping all the crop on the market as
threshed."
