Have Cotton Wrap
Match Thin Dress
Separate Coats and Capes
of Light Materials Are
Gaily Decorated.
The separate coats and capes cre
ated bv the great dressmakers, whether
for afternoon or evening wear, stress
„ i fl vish use of embroidery, observes a
Paris writer in the New York Tribune.
Cape? made of cotton materials that
match cotton summer dresses are
elaborately beaded and embroidered.
Swinging grace characterizes many
of the new topcoats, which vary only
In their trimming, as they are all
three-quarters to seven-eighths long
and cut with a full bias flare. An at
tractive three-quarters length flaring
coat Is developed from green cloth and
white buttons engraved in black.
One designer makes Jackets of knee
length that flare midway between
waist and knees, with the top portion
of the jacket cut perfectly straight
This type of Jacket is particularly
adaptable to crepe de chine, although
be also develops them from cloth.
This designer shows coats of crepe de
chine which are made in the fashion of
a perfectly straight sack overcoat
covering the entire dress. The coats
differ from those of last year in both
collar and embroidery.
The collar used this season Is like a
huge roll and the embroidery covers
the entire surface of the coat. Occa
sionally monkey fur Is used for the
collar, but one may say that there Is
relatively no fur used this season with
the exception of silver fox,
Another firm has several very excel
lent cloth coats. One particularly at
tractive model is of green and gray
wool combined. The outside of the
coat is of the gray appliqued with
green, while the inside is of green.

A model of black satin Is one of the

Bright-colored embroideries are used

Restful Wallpapers
for Cozy Bedrooms
They are simply irresistible —bed-
rooms.
They are the innermost sanctuary of
the house.
They are the rooms for confidences.
They are, of all rooms, nearest the
heart
What woman does not thrill with joy
she has the chance to “do over”
a bedroom —perhaps a drab room with
ho meaning or life or personality?
There are literally hundreds of de
lightful wall papers for her to choose
from — for designers have excelled
themselves for bedrooms. She can have
exactly the kind of bedroom to suit
her Individuality—and a bedroom must
suit, for late at night when one is tired,
one does not wish to be Jarred; and
early in the morning it is tragic to be
irritated.
There are sunny yellows that the
grayest morning in the world cannot
discourage.
There are papers where flowers
tloom so sweetly that the blackest
Later morning can’t be cheerless.

This smart new fall coat is of navy

Sports Clothes Draw
Approval of Women
There was a time not so long ago
when sports clothes were for the pur
pose of costuming one for golf, tennis,
riding and so forth. Today all this Is
changed. Perhaps It signifies that life
Is a game and should be treated ns
such. At any rate, the practical Influ
ence of sports sclothes makes Itself
felt on nearly all occasions. This is
due no doubt to the simplicity and
comfort found in these modes. A
prominent moving-picture actress
wears a charming frock which had its
Inspiration from a sport model. It Is
of cream silk crepe piped with red on
collar, cuffs and pockets. The over
blouse is of the regulation cut and
comes well over the plaited skirt. A
circle embroidered in red Incloses a
space for monogramlng, which is quite
the latest fad for blouses of this sort.
Why Good Perfumes
Are Very Expensive
Napoleon before and after battles
bathed his head and shoulders in per
fume, Doctor Mason writes in a recent
Mentor Magazine.
He used perfume as a substitute for
a bath. That was why perfumes were
invented —to counteract lack of sani
tation. Running water and the bath
tub enable us to get near each other
without scent camouflage.
Maybe you wonder why good per
fumes are so expensive. It takes 8,-
000,000 roses to yield one pound ot
rose essence.
Evening Capes.
Stunning evening wraps, cape man
teau type, are made of ribbon and
marabou. The ribbons are wide apd
edged with marabou, each band of rib
bon being sewed onto a georgette silk
foundation. The wrap Is lined with
silk cr'epe. Fog gray satin ribbon and
gray marabou, made on gray silk
georgette and lined with clover pink
silk crepe makes a wrap that Is a sum
mer dream.
There are such quaint old patterns
straight from revolutionary walla that
even If a trolley jangles by outside
it seems unreal and far away. And
If yoti are one of those people like the
man who said he could bear “anybody
but a person who smiles before break
fast” —there are quiet papers of digni
fied elegnnce that fit no matter what
mood.
And what they all express Is a deep
peace that brings “ —lnnocent Bleep,
sleep that knits up the ravelled Bleeve
of care.”
There was a time when people made
bedroom papers with restless figures—
birds that never alighted on flowers
half an Inch away from them—and
other unsatisfying pictures that drove
the one who had to lie in bed and
watch them into a mild insanity. And
then the day of geometric figures—
that one counted and counted going In
all directions w hile one graduiJly went
mad.
But those times are past—and the
newer papers for bedrooms are rest
ful, peaceful, quiet—papers that never
annoy as one sees them day after day.

GEORGIE FROG
Georgie Frog, known better as
Georgie Green Frog, decided he would
like to go into business. So he went
around and talked to many people who
were interested in business.
He heard all their Ideas on the sub
ject, some he approved of and some he
did not, but he listened to them nil.
One told him that it was very nec
essary In business to have ability,
which meant that It was necessary to
be able to do things. And that, Georgie
Green Frog thought, was quite true.
He was told by another that the
more education one had the better it
was. Well, he agreed with that He
had been a good student of how was
the best way to catch bugs.
Someone else told him that It was
very important to use one’s head in
business. Well, Georgie Green Frog
agreed with that. He didn’t see how
a headless creature could get along in
business!
Certainly n headless,person wouldn’t
be able to talk or eat or sleep. Yes,
he felt It was important to use one’s
head in business and also even more
important to have a head to use.
He had been told that creatures
should get along with others, listen to
the ideas of others, but not to be so
dependent upon others that they
couldn’t make use of opportunities
that came their way. He thought that
was good advice.
He was ready to hear what others
said, but he wasn’t going to be listen
ing so hard that he’d miss any bugs
passing around his way. No Indeed I
He was told that when one was
working one should not be thinking of
amusements to come. This he didn’t
agree with at all, for he was able to
mix his business and his pleasure to
gether.
He had planned that his business
would be the “Delicious Fly and Bug-
Snapping Business."
He had been told that a good mem
ory was a great help, and that boast
fulness would not help. And, too, lie
had been told that when one was
working one should dress in a costume
one wasn’t afraid of hurting. Well, he
wasn’t afraid of hurting his.
Of course if he got spots on it there
was always the pond, and the pond
was a fine cleaning establishment.
Georgie had been told that it was
good to stick to business and not be
thinking of other things, but he
wouldn’t be thinking of other things.
He knew that.
He would nap, of course, but he
wouldn’t nap while there was the busi
ness of snapping a fly to be done. And
“He Put Up His Sign."
then, too, he was better than a lot of
those who gave him advice,
A fly or bug could lund on his nose
and he could be napping, but he would
awaken enough to snap it and swallow
It before it got away from him. To be
sure his customers weren’t just the
same kind as others had. Many others
hnd customers upon whom they wait
ed, but Georgie’s customers waited on
him —whenever he was lucky and suc
cessful.
Some had told him he must not be
small or jealous or fussy or mean and
he had agreed with all of that. Yes,
Georgie Green Frog had decided he
would like to go into business and he
had gone around and had succeeded In
getting a great deal of excellent ad
vice. But now that he had nil the ad
vice he said to himself:
“I will take the advice with which I
agree and that with which I do not
agree 1 will not take!”
Then he put up his sign on a branch
over his stump home in the pond and
as he waited for “customers” he sang
this song:
Goog-a-room. goog-a-room, goog-a
room.
Come bugs and flies to your dooml
I shall snap you and swallow you with
a good smack,
You won’t even have time to whisper,
"Alack!”
But to my mind there’s no end so fine.
As to land at last In this stomach of
mine!
Goog-a-room, goog-a-room, goog-a
--room!
Prompt Handling
of Potato Crop
Government Bulletin Points
Out Great Importance of
Heavy Early Shipment
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Prompt, quick, careful handling of
the early potato crop is the keynote of
the marketing problem, according to
the United States Department of Agri
culture. The market season for any
early potato district lasts only a few
weeks and into that short time must
be condensed the net results of the
season’s work and planning. Farmers'
bulletin 1316, just published, tells how
the crop is sold in the leading early
potato sections; the location, shipping
points, and relative Importance of the
heavy early-shipping districts are
shown; kind and source of information
which the grower should use,are de
scribed ; and the grower told how to
make the most of them in marketing
his crop.
Factors to Study.
Study is better than guess work, says
the bulletin. There are a number of
factors to consider and the grower
should keep In touch with crop news,
shipment reports, and market quota
tions. Study of the best official re
ports until experience mukes It pos
sible to size up their pructical mean
ing almost at a glance, Is a practical
and profitable part of the work of
marketing.
Before the time of planting the
grower who studies conditions will be
able to figure with a certain degree of
accuracy the probable market situa
tion for -arly new potatoes. The price
of early potatoes seems to vary accord
ing to the size of the main crop the
year before and the quantity of old
stock available for shipment after Jan
uary 1, as well as according to ship
ments of the new early crop. For ex
ample the average price of new pota
toes in 1917 was nearly double that of
3910, yet about the same number of
carloads of new early stock were
shipped in each of the two years. But
the 1917 new crop followed a short old
crop of which the shipments were light
after January, while the 1910 uew crop
followed a heavy main crop.
Success In Marketing.
While the selling end of the potato
question deals mainly with the crop
when reudy for market, it Is well to
. bear in mind that success In marketing
depends much on having the right
stock at the right time. The variety
should be one that is marketed In large
quantities from the locality, thus mak
lng sure of carlot shipments throughout
the season and of plenty of local cosh
buyers.
The bulletin contains much of In
terest regarding the various market
outlets for the small grower as well as
for the larger commercial planter and
a copy may be obtained by writing to
the United States Department of Agri
culture, Washington, D. C., as long as
the supply lasts.
Milk Production Reduced
by Lack of Pure Water
Milk production Is often lessened
merely because the cows cannot con
veniently get plenty of fresh pure wa
ter. The amount of water they will
drink depends on the yield of milk and
also on the amount of water In their
feed. Cows In milk require on an av
erage about 100 pounds or 12% gal
lons of water dally, while high-produc
ing cows are fed succulent feeds they
will naturally need less water 4o drink
than when they receive dry feeds ex
clusively.
The cows should have access to salt
dally. The average cow requires at
least one ounce of salt a day and
heavy producers stllj. more. For best
results the cow should have all she
will use of both salt and water.
Prairie-Dog Eradication
Saves Arizona Farmers
For every dollar Invested In the
Arizona campaign for prairie-dog
eradication In 1922, there was a sls
return In the value of farm products
saved from destruction by these pests,
according to reports to the United
States Department of Agriculture.
The state and federal appropriation
for the campaign was $30,000. Farm
ers estimated the value of crops, fruit
trees, range grasses, or other products
saved as a result, at $475,000, over
fifteen times the amount put into the
work.
Horse Bhow at Waterloo.
Waterloo. la., will hold a horse show
exclusively for Belgiun draft horses,
September 24 to 30. F’rizes in 40
classes will foot up SO,OOO.
Coarse Bird Poor Layer.
The coarse bird is almost invariably
a poor layer. The skin of a good pro
ducer is thin, soft, pliable and velvety
to the touch, while the poor produc
er's skin 1s tough, dry and thick.
Right Treatment for
Sunstroke in Horses
• - --
First Step Is to Get Animal
in Cool, Shady Spot.
Sunstroke, a disorder of the nervosa
system caused by exposure to the dtj
rect rays of the sun, is likely to cauNj
trouble In hot weather, says the vefci
ertnary division of the Clemson
cultural college.
In severe cases, death Is sudden, dsa
to paralysis of the nerve centers In tfcaj
brain controlling the respiration an*
circulation. In the less severe case*
there may be marked excitement, tbs
animal becoming uncontrollable; r
the opposite condition may be present
the animal appearing sleepy and de
pressed.
As the condition occurs In the opai
and usually while the anlnml Is at luuni
work, the first step Is to get the animal
In a cool, shady spot out of doors.
If there Is excitement, all precas
tlons should be taken to prevent th*|
animal injuring Itself. Then cold
water, or better still, Ice should be
applied to the head. If Ice Is not
available It Is well to turn the garde*
hose on the animal’s head. The cold
water tends to relieve the congested
condition of the brain, and the colder
the better. The water should not
applied all over the body, but only l
the head. '
The animal should not be
for lie Is likely to be unconscious andC
the drench will, In that case,* pass Into
the lungs, where It may set up a fatal
Inflammation. ~
Following sunstroke the animal
should be rested for several days, and
brought back to hard work gradually-
Proper Care and Feed
Will Help Draft Foal*
With the draft horse market Improv
ing steadily, for the best qjinllty aaU
mals, anyway, some recent experiment*
conducted by Professor Fuller at thr
Wisconsin experiment station will b*
of Interest and practical value.
A lot of seven pure bred draft foal*
was given careful feeding for 182 day*
during the winter before last, on a*
average dally ration of 11.4 pound* f
concentrates and 0.4 pounds of alfalf!*
bay. The grain mixture consisted of
90 pounds of crushed oats and M
pounds of wheut bran. The foal*
made nn average dally gain of 13
pounds, and averaged 1,141.4 pounds
in weight at nn iivernge age of 377
days. The result of this work checked
very closely with the trials of previous
years, and It appears safe to conclude
tlint, by proper care and liberal feed
ing, good draft foals can easily be
made to weigh 1,000 pounds at one
year of age.
Pigs Require Less Salt
Than Other Farm Animals
Although pigs require less salttha*
other farm animals, they should be
provided with It regularly. In a trial
by Professor Evvard at the lowa agri
cultural experiment station, pigs al
lowed free access to salt made better
gains than those receiving no salt or
others getting allowances of 1-64,
or 1-10 ounce per head dally. Salt may
be supplied In a trough or a small self
feeder. If pigs have not had free ao
cess to salt they might at first over
eat when allowed free access to It
Brood sows should also be supplied
with salt which Is best fed in a suit
able box or self-feeder.
Japanese Millet Useful
as Feed for Live Stock
Japanese millet may be used a* *
green feed, cured for hay or made tm
produce a seed crop. When used as a
feed It has the advantage over other
millets, In never having been known to
cause kidney trouble In live stock; la
other words, like timothy, It Is prartt
cally fool proof ns a feed. Many daiiy-i
men have used It as a soiling croy.
__ f
Dealers Sometimes Cause
of Poor Quality in Egg*
Dealers are sometimes at fault 1*
causing poor quality in eggs which
consumers receive, by holding over
quality eggs In a warm plnce after
receiving them, and holding them te
too long a period. Quality eggs wtß
not remain good under these condi
tions.
Enemy of Quality Eggs.
The big enemy of quality egg* tat
the summer Is heat. Any conditio*
which will cause the overheating of
the egg should be avoided.
Two Big Dairy Factor*.
Cost of feed consumed and value of
milk produced are the two factor*
which determine the profitableness of
a dairy cow.
Essential Part of Ration.
Green feed, In some form, consti
tutes an essential part of any well bal
anced poultry ration, whether for
young chicks, growing Btock or addfc
bird*. J
