Popularity of Feathers
for Coiffures Spreading

For years feathers have adorned
the heads of women when they
were presented at the Court of st.
James. This season feathers are
being tucked into the coiffures of
social leaders at other than court
affairs.
At a recent formal function three
fashionably attired guests wore
green feathers. One attracted
admlring glances as she held the
center of an animated group. Her
white gown of deceptive simplicity
was accompanied by green satin
shoulder length gloves, emerald
green slippers, and then, for con-
trast. her jeweled cigarette holder
was a brilliant lacquer red.

.l4It Of this veil Is detachable. This
is for the convenience of the bride
when she mingles with her friends
after the ceremony. After the long
trailing veil Is removed the short
er veil Is thrown back from the
face. forming a popular cape FASH
Ion enveloping the shoulders. The
gown Is of lusterless heavy white
satin.
For the youthful bride could any
thing be loyelier than a quaint lit
tie Dutch bonnet effect as shown
to the right In the group? The
veil Is lace-bordered In harmony
with the picturesque lace flanges
which fold back on the bonnet

The same lovely ensemble follows

some time.

SAUK CENTRE COMMUNITY CLUB HAS OPPOR-
TUNTTY FOR CONSTRUCTIVE WORK

For several years Sank Centre has been without
a competitive market for grain and seeds.
This situation is not healthy one for the farm
of the Sank Centre territory, the Sank Centre
business
Some years ago the Farm Service Stores purchased
the Erwin Elevator property on the G. N. right of
way. They retired from business in Sank Centre
about year ago.
OF course there isn't much, if any grain market
able at this but there will be another Fall
around in few months
The Sank Centre Community Club officials
looking for something really constructive to do to
improve conditions both in the city and countryside
The logical organization to take the Service
Stores plant is the Farmers Shipping Association.
The Herald believes that with the proper moral
encouragement of the Community Club this can be
arranged.
The Farm Service Stores have offered the prop
erty to the Farmers Shipping Association at very
low price and on very advantageous terms.
The neighboring villages have taken much trade
away from this city in the past few years because Of
inadequate marketing facilities in Sank Centre.
The Community Club has rare opportunity for
constructive work in assisting to solve problem
which costs this city big money every year.

HOLY WEEK

The most significant period of the Christian year
is Holy Week, the week before Easter beginning
with Palm Sunday, which this year falls March Is.
Palm Sunday celebrates Christs triumphal entry
into Jerusalem and the strewing of palm branches
in his path by the multitude.
Maundy Thursday commentaries the Last Sup
per and the washing of the disciples feet; also
Christ's agony in Gethsemane and his betrayal by
Judas.
Good Friday represents the day of the crucifxion
and is celebrated in Catholic and Anglican churches
with great solemnity.
Fasten Even is the name given to the entire day
of twenty-four hours between Good Friday and East
er, period for prayer and religious contemplation.
Easter Sunday, the most joyous day of the Christ
ian -cndar, commentaries the resurrection, and
this falls April l. In the early history of the
church, Easter observed various dates by
different bodies of Christians, but the Council of
Nice in the year 325 fixed it the first Sunday fol-
lowing the full moon occurring or next after the
vernal equinox, March q.
Easter Sunday may come early March %
late April Is, and its date governs all eccle
siastcal days from Ash Wednesday, the beginning of
Lent, to Trinity Sunday, eight weeks after Easter.

Flowers are inclined to be socia-
BILE and "chummy" If we will but
meet them half way. It is never too
early to cultivate the acquaintance
Of these silent but sympathetic
friends. It is probably not so easy
to begin a hobby after the best Of
ones years are spent, therefore if
children are taught early the cul-
ture of flowers. there are more
chances of their drawing greater
benefits from it. The years of child
hood are always the years when
impressions make the most indelible

If they take a fair interest in grow
ing things that they know a great
deal about Mother Nature, but her
book is never exhausted even for
the most tireless scholar. So begin

A Tip for Flowers for Exhibition
To obtain large flowers, especial
ly IT intended for show, plants, es-
pecially such as asters, Zinnias, dali
HAS, and similar plants, should
have all side buds removed, leaving
only few plants to each plant.
This will produce large-fowered,
long stemmed specimens. Disbud-
ding Of these types should be done
early before side buds have develop
ed to any extent. This will throw
all the energy of the stem into one
flower.
Sweet Pea Tips
Sweet pea experts also now re-
commend the use of nitrogen inocu-
lation for sweet peas. Garden nj
trogen suitable for garden peas
may be procured for this purpose.
The local seed dealer may have it
in stock or can get it for you. The
smallest size container will be suf-
ficient for most sweet pea growers.
It is also recommended that after
the plants have made four or five
joints, that they be cut back be
tween the second and third joints.
This will give a healthier and more
stockier plant.
Sweet peas like rich soil, spaded
deeply before planting, plenty of
moisture during the blooming per-
iod, and plenty Of cutting to en-
courage more bloom.

Why is recovery from the economic depression
slow? Because capital is afraid. Many millions
Of dollars lie inactive in banks because the
ers of this money are possessed with fear.
Persons who invested readily in stocks bonds,
real estate and varied business enterprises during
prosperous times now hold back and await develop
