On The Trail Again
For New Home
The House That Oliver
Didn't Build
Meeker Goes TO Meet
His Father
Trail Finally Ends in
PuysIIup Valley
MOT having great many
~ household goods to pack or
dispose Of, it didn't take the
Meekers long to be ready to
again take the Oregon Trail
headed for Puget Sound. A
neighbor bought the claim with
an agreement to pay when ne
sold some of the timber. Eliza
and the two young children,
with the OK yoke, couple OF
sacks of food and their bedding,
were started up the Cowlitz
river in a canoe. Ezra went by
land driving the oxen.
After leaving the Cowlitz river
the two persistent seekers after
a home they could call their
own, found the overland going
exceedingly difficult. Their
situation was relieved when they
reached the home of that pio-
neer and humanitarian, John r.
jackson. He supplied them with
a wagon and everything else re-
quired for their comfort.
The history of the North
west Is full of the kind deeds
of jackson. how he managed
to do so much was a mystery.
Seldom were those he helped
able to pay him anything at
the time, but most of them
tried to reimburse him later.
His home was a haven and
himself n tower of strength
to hundreds of >ose who fol-
lowed the Oregon trail to
Puget Sound.
Arriving at Steilacoom, Meek
er looked across the channel at
the clearing on which Oliver
was to have built the cabin.
But there was no sign of cabin
nor any activity. Then from
the dock he discovered divers
boat. Apparently he had been
living on the boat for there was
bedding and a good supply of
food.
Meeker didn't wait to find
Oliver. He put his family and
their own supplies in the boat
and went to the island. It was
just as he had left it except
for pile of logs that had been
partly framed for the cabin.
Meeker was not only Disguised
with his brother but thoroughly
discouraged. He proposed that
they return to the mainland
and try to find a place to live,
but again Eliza overruled him.
why leave our own land
when we have the tent and
plenty of food ?" she asked.
Il can cook over a fire and
the tent will shelter lis until the
cabin is built"
While they were discussing
the situation, Oliver came pad
ding up to the beach in a canoe,
1t was the same old story. He
had started on the cabin when
there came a chance to go to
work loading the ships at Stella.
COON. The gold he had earned
offset the disappointment over
his failure to build the cabin
The money would come in handy
before the next seasons crops
were harvested.
Once more the Meeker family
was happy over the prospect OF
a home. The cabin was soon
built and furnished comfortably.
Eliza Meeker was happy in the
thought that at last they were
going to settle down to the
peaceful life of farmers.
But again they were 10 be

INSURANCE FOR
WHEAT PRODUCERS
Now Available to Farm
ers Who Intend to
Plant Next Year

All farmers who intend to plant
wheat for harvest in 1910 are elig-
ible for "all-risk" crop insurance
protection now being offered to
growers of Maryland by the Fed
eral Crop Insurance Corporation,
according to Paul E. Nystrom,
Supervisor of State Crop Insur-
ance. Both operators and land
lords may insure their interest in
the crop.
Under the crop insurance pro-
gram, growers may insure their
interest in Is per cent of the av-
erage yield of wheat on their
farm, Mr.. Nystrom explained.
Where more than one person has
an interest in the crop, any one of
them can insure his interest, sep
arate contracts being made to
each individual without affecting
the interest of other parties. The
same premium rate and insurable
yield are available to both the OPP
orator, share tenant, or landlord
Of farm. The interest that an
owner, operator or tenant may in
sure depends on the interest he
has in the crop.
For example, on a farm of 100
acres, with an average yield of II
bushels, an owner-OperatOr could
insure up to rs per cent of the l.
200 bushels average production,
or 900 bushels. If the farm is
operated by a tenant on one
third-two-thirds division of the
crop, the owner could insure 800
bushels as his interest of the crop
and the tenant could insure 600
bushels as his portion. On 90
so lease, both the tenant and the
landlord might insure $50 bushels
apiece.

THIS is the season of gracious
= lady fashions. To be sure, cas-
ual, sportsy dress has its rightful
place in the picture, but the clothes
that center the present fall and win
ter costume pageantry proclaim the
dawn of new era Of elegance that
calls for painstaking planning and
individualized styling, rejecting dig
nifty, high tone and the exquisitely
feminine throughout costume de-
sign. =
First and foremost the accent is
on fabric elegance. To the hand
some materials that fashion de-
mands this season add color en-
chantment rife with autumnal beau
ty. Embellish the entire with lavish
and luxuriant fur and you will have
envisioned the picture as heralded
on the style program for the COM
ing months.
Never has there been more en-
trancing display of woolens. Not
only are the various weaves, es-
pecially tweeds, superbly colorful
within themselves but the ingenious
and intriguing ways in which design
ers are working out contrasts and
blends is adding infinite color fas-
cination to current modes.
Then, too, fur treatments are so
varied and so unusual as to be al
most spectacular from the stand
point Of originality and versatility.
If you have been treasuring bit
of handsome fur now is the time to
bring it out.
Especially smart this season are
separate fur pieces such as the de-
tachable plastron of soft gray squir-
rel that gives fiattering effect to the
dark coat shown to the left in the
picture. Plastrons of fur, such as
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1939-10-20

here pictured, are definitely new.
Most of them reach only to the
waistline, but in some instances
they extend all the way down the
front.
4 The fur hat has become an out
standing theme among milliners.
With it you are supposed to carry
a matching muff as you see below
to the left in the group. This stun
ming twosome is fashioned Of hand
some fox. Wear it with the new
suit or your best long cloth coat for
your dressiest moments.
A luxurious stole of light colored
lynx dresses up the beige wool coat
to the right. Rich brown access
series are worn. The halo brim of
a cinnamon colored felt hat is graced
with long brown veil. The fact
that fur stoles have been revived
this season is of untold style sig
nificance.
Pictured to the right below is a
delightful example of fur and fabric
alliance. The action-free long
jacket is of beaver-dyed coney with
bright wool plaid lining to match
the dress and hat. With the football
season in full swing a costume Of
this type comes into its own with
flourish. This type of jacket suit
is ideal for autumn wear and the
beauty of it is the fur coat can be
worn with any dress or suit.

Tone-on-T one Tint
Favored for Fall

Very new and as yet exclusive,
but bound to develop into an impor-
tant vogue is the effective tone-on-
tone-on-tone effects which are to be
seen this fall. The idea is to carry
out the entire costume in several
tones of the same color. The new
grape of blackberry color works out
beautifully, and brown that goes
dark for the jacket, lighter for the
skirt, still lighter for the tie girdle
and lightest of all, even unto pale
beige tint, is the blouse. Greens,
wines and any of the dark colors
yield effectively to the tone-on-tone
theory. -tA

Lace for Evening
Meets With Favor

No matter what silhouette he fol-
lows, whether pencil slim or very
full, Molyneaux's newest collection
Of evening dresses shows decided
favor for lace. Lace is combined
with velvet, satin or wool, or it is
used simply and severely alone.
One gown has a black lace bodice
with pink ribbon shoulder straps
and a satin skirt made full with
godets applied with narrow lace in
sertions. For a coat and dress cos
tune he reverses the usual COM
bination of heavy coat over light
dress and makes long loose coat
of violet lace to be worn over a
dress of violet wool. s7

A simple black foundation frock
is a fashion "must'' this fall. FASH
ion has made almost an arbitrary

be black frock styled with ut

the new Balenciaga neckline, filed
in with q chalk white necklace

New Hat Fashion

A bright red bird with outspread

high style, this season.
With your black daytime frock
wear a stunning red suede belt. A
