The government should let up on the

Auto deaths have shown a big in

about the same effect as feeding bird

Some wives have no consideration
whatever for the feeling of their hus-

by the noise she makes filling the

One thing about women in barber
shops is that snappy stories have lost
their snap.
In a recent school debate the uues-
ton was argued as to whether old maids

Well, that's something, girls, but not
much.

The other day We heard a lady say
that at times the only thing that stops

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

These fashions are among the
seasons leaders Keep them in mind
when you go shopping.
Pink is the reigning color. Any shade
is good and anything that is pink is
good. SuSpender dresses are going over
big with the young. Have a pleated
print suspender skirt to wear with
plain blouses.
Square necklines are taking the fashion
world by storm. Square necklineS are
typical 18th century and the 18th CEN
fury is strong this season.
1t is blooming season if there ever
was one. Lapels bloom every imagin-
able posey both big and little. Hats
bloom with flowers. There are flower
themes in jewelry and flower motives
in prints.
Easy going" is the new phrase that
means the new loose look or softer
feminine look! Easy Going" looking
clothes are super smart.
Dots are dashing everyplace from
morning to night. Duco dots are among
the latest. They are painted but do not
fall off A navy blue with white duco
dots is a pace setter.
Big handbags are newest. Some of
them are of almost suitcase proportion.
Three quarter length unlined wool
jackets are extremely popular. They
turn dress into a costume suit
Taffeta is significant in dresses,
blouses, petticoats, handbags and
trimming.
The colarless neckline in suits and
coats is outstanding.
Tuxedo front coats are superbly sty-
lish.
Large or rather huge costume jewclry
pieces are news when worn on your
lapel. Get a rhinestone clown, horse,
a flower cluster or an American eagle
with spread wings and don't forget the
bigger it is the smarter it is.
Hosiery is lighter and brighter. Wear
bright iridescents with roseberry and
wine shades, beige with beige tone
shoes Gts fashionable to match shoes

PEACH CROP IN THE
COUNTY VERY LARGE
Early Varieties Coming
In; Elbertas Here
In August

The peach season in Washing
ton county, now opening with the
early varieties, promises to be a
very large one and the fruit of
fine quality.
Carmen are the earliest variety
and are now on the market to
somt extent, although the first of
the week will see more of them
offered. The Slappy is a popular
early variety. 1t is yellow
peach of fine quality for an early
peach. 1t is shaped something
like a lemon, or elongated.
Then come other varieties, such
as the Hiley Belle, Elbertas,
Shippers Late Red, Smock and
Salways. There are possibly
other varities but those men
toned are the principal market
peaches.
The Elberta is the large crop in
this section and is the money
maker for local growers in the
South Mountain Belt, which ex-
tends along the mountain from
the Waynesboro-Mont Alto section
on down by Ringgold, Smithsburg,
Cavetown, Mapleville, Boonsboro
and Keedysville, the last named
place having come into the peach
limelight more recently. The
type of soil seems to figure very
materially in the quality and fla
vor of the peach, and the ground
in the South Mountain Peack
Belt seems to be particularly
adapted to peach culture. This
belt, while clinging more or less
to the base of South Mountain, at
places extends down in the val
ley, with the production of fine
peaches.
Growers have been finding a
good market in various cities
such as New York, Pittsburgh, De-
troit. Washington and even in
Southern cities such as Richmond,
Norfolk, Roanoke, etc. A market
opens in these southern places
after the peaches grown in that
section of the country are over.
1t appears that some of the old
varieties of years ago-most de-
licious and beautiful such as the
Old Nixon Free, a white peach;
Crawfords, Belle of Georgia, Hale
and others, are not raised to any
great extent any more, although
some of them may be found.
While most delicious, some Of
these varieties, it is understood,
may not have the shipping quail
ties of the Elberta, and therefore,
not so good as far as the growers
pocttbook is concerned.
The Elberta crop will be in
about the middle of August, as it
looks now, or possibly a little
earlier than their usual time of
maturity.
The harvesting of the peach
crop this year is expected TO
bring thousands of dollars into
the Golfers of growers of the
county this year.
