killing OF Mosquitoes

killing OF Mosquitoes
Our people are watching with in
terest the government, assisted b!
the State in their efforts to eradi
cate all the mosquitoes which hav'
their breeding places in the marsl
and swamp lands and other places
whe:e stagnant water stands. To dC
this (if il can be done) will require
an enormous amount OF labol ant
money.
Won't it be fine when person car
sleep summer nights and not heal
the bulZing noise of the lit';a pests
as they prepare to light on your
person How about the Texas lilies
which e.e a terror to man and best
\ e hor6 they will not forget TO give
them dose as they pass along. II
nothing else is accomplished it will
give large bo1y of men work
which they are much in need of at
this time.
Seeding Wheat
Many of our farmers are done or
nearly finished seeding wheat. 1t
now looks as if the crop of wheat
in this section viii be much less
then last years sowing. The farmers
hope in this way to increase the
price of this kind of grain, which
for some years had been grown at a
loss.
Digging Sweets
Some of our growers have been
digging their sweet potatoes. The
crop seems to be abundant but the
market qutations are very low and
it will hardly pay to ship at the
present prices. Those who have po-
tato houses of their own, may, by
keeping their crops under cover un-
Ill the glut is over, realize a fair
profit on those they are able to
keep.
Turkeys Seem Abundant
The writer has been in several
parts of the State lately, and wher-
ever he has been he has seen large
flocks of turkeys. The storm which
occurred August 90 did in some sec
tions kill many turkeys, but there
are sufficient left to supply the mar
kets at both Thanksgiving and
Christmas time. Unless the prices
advance over those of last year, it
will hardly pay the farmers for
raising them.
Survey Of an Improved Road
The improved road leading from
Glendale by the way of Glands of
Reed, Lewis, Willis, Watson, West,
Peck, Spicer, Clendaniel, Wilson, |
Lindale, Millman and others to
where it intersects an improved
road from Lincoln to NAPLES Mill
has been surveyed and marked out.
We understand this road will be
built of Stag, of course this is better
than dirt, but without a coat of tar
it will be a dusty mess, both winter
and summer.

THREE NEW KINDS
OF SPRING COATS

There is a lot Of talk about Schi
aparelli's square-shouldered coat
model which, in It's most histrionic
form, presents us with detachable
collar over it's padded shoulders.
A sleeve applied with cartridge
pleats at the shoulder is simpler
means the designer uses to get the
same square effect. One lipstick-
red unlined woolen coat that Is here
from Bruyere shows square arm
hole as well as square shoulder.
For a dress coat-a division more
important this spring than last, with
the increased interest In the after
noon toilette-One may choose from
many perishable shades and soft
weaves and decide on either furred
or injured designs. The fiat little
Peter Pan collars of fairly lOngish
pelts are a magnet for the jeune
file, and the more sophisticated
woman goes for rever lapels of the
same kind of skins.
Between these two versions Is an
other, which has a self-fabric cape
bordered once, twice, or thrice with
fluffy fox. Being detachable
gadget, one may ditch the cape en-
tire and, opening the revers, fare
forth with late spring model
which needs only a corsage to give
it elegance and je ne suls quoi.

FLOWERS are flourishlng in fash
ionland. Even so early as in
midseason we began to have hints
of a flower vogue to be. The first
flower garnitured hats made their
appearance timidly. These for the
most part adhered to the tailored
mood, such as for instance a sailor
with perhaps band of little velvet
flowers very primly encircling the
crown or perhaps with wee ban
deau of posles next to the hair.
They were adorable, as they
brought breath of spring. and the
reaction to them was so favorable
Paris milliners were encouraged to
follow them up with more preten-
tious gesture. There began to arrive
from abroad most ravishing little
toque-and-boutOnniere sets made all
of violets, or rose petals. or gar
denias or. perhaps, velvet posles in
variegated cOloring.
The latest arrivals from certain
French ateliers introduced a most
charming idea, that of flower neck
iaces which are worn like leis. We
are illustrating one such centered
in the group pictured. The flowers
In this instance are white camelias
for both the wreath about the hat
and the lei-necklace. Among the
models of her spring collection
Jane Blanchot also is offering an
interesting lei formed Of white lin
en- hyacinths with black ribbon
across the back of the neck. This Is
shown with toque of novelty black
straw with matching hyacinths bor-
dering the left side.

went to Los Angeles for a short
visit, after which ! went to Chi
cago. where my aunt was living at
the time.
| heard that Philip Small and
Lois Weber were making pictures
in Chicago, so | called on them with
the hope of getting work. Miss
Weber was very friendly to me, and
because of my long hair gave me a
part in a picture she was directing
with Pavlowa.
Miss Weber told me she was sure
had screen possibilities. and took
me back To Hollywood with her, and
guaranteed that were unsuccess-
rul. she would pay my expenses
home.
After doing a part in one picture
with Miss Weber. | worked for two
months as an extra at Universal
studio. BY this time the desire to
gain success in pictures was imbued
in every fiber of my body.
In one picture-and | laugh when
| think Of it--l played the part of a
dope hend. Lon Chaney put my
first makeup on. and it was he
who gave me instructions on the
subject.
About this time j. Warren Kerri-
gan was looking for "a leading lady,
and picked me from group of ex-
ira girls To appear opposite him.
This was better, and the salary was
$40 week. which was most encour-
aging.
! played opposite Mr.. Kerrigan
in nine pictures and then accepted
an offer of S120 with a. company in
San Francisco.
Upon completion of this work |
returned to Hollywood and signed
long term contract with the old
Paralta company. for whom Mr..
Kerrigan was starring. My first
work under this banner was "A
Mans Man" 1t was my first real
opportunity, and from there on
things were easier.
When the Paralta company went
out of business. had contracts Of
fered me. and accepted the one with
Famous Players-Lasky. for whom |
have worked in many fine pictures.
In my search for success on the
screen, the Goddess of Luck has
never deserted me. And IL is to
her that | attribute a great share of
whatever success | have achieved.
Luck made me enter the contest.
Luck introduced me to Lois Weber,
and Luck made me sign the con-
tract with Famous Players, and
again recently Luck made me sign
contract with Warner Brothers.

Most of the flower toques are de-
signed in colOrs to form a perfect
harmony with the costume, with
the exception of the all-white sets
which are effective with black or
whatever the color may be. We are
showing two flower toques here.
The ensemble at the top, to the
right, is made of violets with
matching corsage. The matron Of
honor who wore it had on lovely
light blue lace gown. For the
bride set was created which con-
sisted of a toque of white rose pet
ais and a muff which was a perfect
heart shape formed of identical
petals. These heart-shaped flower
muffs are the newest florals for
brides.
The dainty toque below to the left
in the picture is half and half OF
navy straw and purple velvet
pansies. 1t tops dress of Eleanor
blue, the hyacinth tone of this blue
being a perfect complement to the
rich purple tones of the flowers.
The call of the mode for military
effects Is answered In dashing cos
sack hats and fez turbans whose
height and severity Of line is some
thing for which we are expected to
acquire a taste. Note the two
models below In the picture. They
are Indicative of this new style
trend. There is no end to other
feather fantasies which are distin-
gushing the seasons hats. They
include every type from simple
qullls and brush effects to all sorts
of intriguing novelties.

THE next CYCLE of good old days
Il brought a technique of pleas
ure based upon excessive eating.
The Cafe Martin, New York
restaurant respected even by
Frenchmen, moved uptown from
the present Hotel Lafayette and
occupied Delmonico's old stand.
Charles Rector, who had made
success in Chicago, was building
up a great name in long, low
building on Longacre Square, be-
tween Forty-third and Forty
fourth streets, the present site of
the Claridge hotel.
Louis Bustanoby, ex-manager of
Martins, opened the Cafe DIES
Beaux-Arts at Sixth avenue and
FOrtleth street, in a studio build
ing owned by the artist, A. A. An
derson. A new and for those days
vast hotel, the Aston, rose on
Broadway, where because of its
location, it became a part of all
White Way life like the Knicker-
booker, on the southeast corner of
Broadway and Forty-second street.
The streets were the scene of
competition between unreliable
taxi cabs and spawned hack
horses. The white light district
was moving uptown, to approx
mately its present location.
And the sole manner in which
young lady in those good old days
was to feed her, take her to the
theater and feed her again. There
was no dancing in restaurants.
There were no dances that could
be performed on small floor space.
There were in some of the gayer
places salon orcheStraS.
