It lias been a matter of rev olution and evolution, from the most frivolous frou-frou type to the breezy, athletic, up-to-date young person who demands the sort of togs that will best serve her and most charmingly clothe her at tennis and golf, cross country riding and driving. The re sults are delightful. Among the most attractive models in sports dress of every sort and for every possible occasion are the things that are done by American dressmak ers. Our own designers have adopted the best from every other source and produced a composite something that best adorns the smart American woman. The department of sports clothes has grown far beyond any other. The first outfits offered were flannels, home spuns, tweeds in skirts and sweaters or skirts with shirts and blazers or jacquettes of some sort. The outer garments had necessarily to be ad justed to the underthings, the stays and other trappings of a staid and for mal age. But the elastic belts, bras sieres and other simpler, softer ways of dressing, and the straight silhouette as well, have completely changed the style of the sports suit and have given it a uniformity., from collar to hem. The handsomest materials, fine in quality, artistic in color and pattern, are used In the frocks and coats, skirts and jackets designed for the different sports that nowadays occupy the time of the greater number of women in the world of fashion, and for out-of doors generally. Social life of the present clay is lived In the open in every season, shifting from Newport and Southampton to Tuxedo, back to to town, to Florida, the Riviera and the Pacific coast, back to town again, then to the Springs and once more to summer haunts. For all of these places are required a large number of sports suits. Knitted Dress Is Chic. The knitted dress was the ugly duck ling among all the pretty, smartly cut sports clothes that came out a few seasons ago. It was established as a suitable model of dress for any and all occasions in the country, for walking and driving, for the beach, for loung ing and for a woman’s comfort and happiness generally. But it was un lovely and was accepted slowly, and only the unsmart would give it coun tenance. Within the year the knitted frock has come into its vogue, and now it is the most ehic tiling worn by up-to date people, and represents one of die largest departments in the fashionable ready-to-wear shops. The original models in knitted gowns were shape less, dowdy affairs. In the most exclusive shops are shown many engaging one-piece frocks of knit white. A model that is much liked is woven in ribs of .such texture as to resemble a striped cloth. An other model, a seven-eighths length tunic, is of wool and silk thread, the silk giving a slight but brilliant sheen that is indescribably lovely. In the weavings marking the plaids that are so especially modish at the moment, beautiful colors are shown in several shades, giving the appearance of a line camel’s hair. The jersey cloths, all-wool, silk and wool, or all silk, are shown In a great variety of co’ors, particularly the new powder blue, Lanvin green, henna, havana, ennna; also in bright scarlet, vivid green, yellow; in the soft shades, maize, beige, champagne, and, ns the season advances, in shades of gray. olive that will be seen later In the street suits for town. Blue, in the shades of powder, and the darker military blue are most dis tinguished and are seen In some par ticularly engaging models from Paris. A one-piece frock of pastel blue has bands in graduated widths bordering the skirt, knee-high, and Is used in the same manner on a cape of the pastel three-quarter length. Parisian designers who specialize In sports things, as they are translated according to French standards, have a feeling for the cape model rather than for the more tailored English Idea. Most of their outing clothes this sea son Illustrate the three-piece costume dress, which Is literally a two-piece affair plus a cape matching In ma terlal and design. Beige and Ecru Lace As the season advances a strong liking Is revealed for lace dresses, especially those in deep shades of cream, almost the tone of burnt bread, and beige and tan. A bit of color appears in the sash. THE DANIELSVILLE MONITOR, DANIELSVILLE, GEORGIA. THE TUG BOAT “I can’t stop and play,” said the tug boat in the river. “Pm going to have a beautiful tnotn fng,” said the sailing vessel. “What are you going to do?” the tug boat asked. “Oh, I’m Just going to rock a bit in my river swing. I shall rock to and fro. “Pm going traveling tomorrow, but today I haven't a tiling to do. “I shall just rest myself and swing and see what is going on along the river. “I shall watch the boats pass and 1 shall listen to all the river talk, for the boats all have their own voices and their own different sounds. “I so much enjoy the whistling, toot ing talk of the river boats. Some have low voices and some have shrill voices. “Some say: ‘Get out of the way. I’m In a great rush.’ “And others say: “ ‘l’m coming slowly along and I am sure we will pass each other with out any harm coming to either of us.' “Then there are others who call out: “Tlello, hello, hello’ to each other. And still others who say: “‘Well, see who I see! There are you. Did you have a good trip? “Ah, I shall have a beautiful day, just enjoying myself and doing noth ing.” “I should be glad to join you,” the tug boat said. “But really I must be off very soon now. “I have a good deal of work to do today. I have two scows to drag af ter me. “You know how they nre! They -an’t bear to hurry. And I have to “Just Enjoying Myself and Doing Nothing." keep pulling them along and never give up until I get them where they nre supposed to be. “Wei!, I must be off now. Good hy. sailing vessel.” “Good-by,” the sailing vessel said dreamily. “That tug boat works too hard,” said the sailing vessel. “Now today the tug boat should have taken a day off with me. “Still the nig boat soitais to enjoy working so hard and being so busy and making its own way everywhere. It’s a good, sturdy hard worker.” Tlie tug boat was off now, saying good-by in a rather shrill, business like voice. “I would have liked to have talked to sailing vessel,” the tug boat said to itself. “But I think I’d not be happy for long being lazy. “I have such an energetic nature.” On and on the tug boat went, carry ing, pulling, tugging at the two great scows which came along afterward because tug boat simply insisted upon it. They approached a draw-bridge later on, and tug boat called out In its mg boat fashion something which was meant for: "Make ready, make ready, we're coming.” And then the man who stood by the draw-bridge turned the crank which made the bridge draw open and tne center part divided Itself so that half went up on one side and half on the other side, and there they stayed, sus pended In the air while the tug boat went underneath. For the tug boot and the scows would not hove hud room If the draw bridge had not done this. On and on the tug boat went until Its work was over. But when Its work was over It was all ready for another Job. For the tug boat didn’t believe In lending a lazy life. It wouldn’t have been a tug boat had It been lazy. And back In the river the sailing vessel enjoyed a lazy, beautiful, idle day, sometimes staying quiet and sometimes rocking a bit In Its river swinging, swaying, waving fashion. “We boats are of all kinds certain ly,” the sailing vessel said to itself. "And our ways are very diffarant." DADDY’S 13 EVENING mRYTALEIIiIf Graham Banner copyfuejfrer *£jm*/f£wjM?ex umw Culling Poultry Big Money Saver Towls Should Have Plenty of Mash and Green Feed and Be Vermin Free. Although the poultryman should do some culling every month In the year, if he can make but oue culling, the time to make It is the first of Sep tember, say the Cornell poultrymen who give some practical culling rffies. They declnre that culling out the poor producers from the flock is the enslest and the quickest way to save money. During the culling season, the liens must have plenty of mash and green food and be free from mites; other wise good layers may show nil the signs of non-layers. It Is also well to keep in mind that changes of feed, buildings, weather, and the like may bring about the appearance of non laying conditions. Broody bens also have this appearance. Signs of Good Producers. liens that have laid long and heavily have n different appeurnnee from those that have not. These differ ences nre in physical appearance and actions. The heavy producing bird is a worker, a good feeder, Intelligent, elusive but not flighty, keen of eye, a good ranger, late to bed, early to rise. The low producer is Indolent, flighty and an Indifferent eater, with little activity. In all yellow-skinned breeds like the Leghorns, Itocks, lteds, Wyandottes, Brahmas, and the like, It is possible to tell by the color of certain sec tions of the body whether the hens are laying or not. A heavy layer is flesh color, or white, in the benk, eye ring, enr lobe, vent and shanks, while a non layer is distinctly yellow. A sick hen shows white in all sections and must not he confused with a layer. Also some breeds have a white skin natur ally, and in these breeds there nre no color changes. There are changes In form as well. DECLINE NOTED IN PRICES OF AVERAGE DAIRY CATTLE Pure Bred Aged Bulls Bring More at Private Sale. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Average sale prices of pure bred dairy cattle for the year ending De cember 31, 1923, ranged from $133 for bulls under one year to S2OB for bulls over three years of age, according to reports submitted hy breeders to tlie United States Department of Agricul ture. The breeds Included were: Ayr shire, Guernsey, Holstein, Jersey, and Brown Swiss. More than twice as many animals were disposed of at pri vate sale as were sold at auction. Auc tion prices, however, averaged from $25 to SSO per head higher than those realized in private sales. Aged bulls were an exception, such animals bring ing more in private sales than auc tion. The following comparison hy nges shows that prices In 1923 were some what lower than in 1922: Ages 1922 1923 Hulls under one year of age.. $156 $133 Bulls over one and under three years of age....,--. 221 206 Bulls over three years of age 435 208 Heifers under one year of age 131 133 Cows and heifers over one and under three years of age 211 229 Cows over three years of age 286 261 The top bull and cow each brought $7,500. The number of animals repre- Lessen Number of Bots It is possible to lessen greatly the number of bots, or larvae of the horse bot-fly in a horse’s stomach by clip ping or singeing off the long hairs upon the legs, breast and chin when nits are seen adhering thereto. Wet ting the nfTected parts with a 5 per cent solution of coal tar dip or car bolic acid Is also fairly effective. Spraying with a reliable fly-repellnnt will also help. To rid a horse of bots only one drug, thus fur, has given sat isfactory results. Successful Farmer He who arranges his fanning busi ness with the ldeu of returning the greatest possible amount of plant food to the soil which his crops annually remove therefrom Is likely to be the most successful farmer in his neigh borhood. A fanning business should be so arranged ns to enable a rnan to produce at least two tons of manure a year per acre of grain crops grown. If this Is done, the fertility of the soli will be maintained in excellent condi tion. A laying hen has a large abdomen and the rear end of the keel is much deeper than the front. She also has well spread pelvic bones, full moist vent, soft flabby skin, broad flat back, while In a non-layer the abdomen is small, the vent dry and puckered, the skin thick and dry, and the back short, narrow and arched. Hens Molt in July. A molting hen usually stops laying, but In some of the heavier breeds they will molt to some extent and still lay. Leghorns usually stop lay ing when they begin to molt. Molt ing during the summer Is one of the best ways to distinguish the non-layer from the layers. A good layer, well managed, will not begin to molt until October 1 or later. Hens thnt have been well cared for and nre in full molt hy the middle of July are not worth keeping. The eyeballs of the laying hen can easily bo seen when viewed from the rear, the comb is bright red and full, the beak short and curved, the face full and of tine texture. Non-layers have dull, embedded eyes, long straight beaks, hard shriveled combs and fat faces. Save Small Grain Seed for Planting This Fall That farmers will do well to plan for the acrenge which they expect tc plant in small grnln this fall and to secure good planting seed for the fall, is a suggestion from the ngronomlstr of Clemson college. Good seed oats nre very scarce this senson, and should be carefully Bavcd hy farmery who have them. They will bring a good price tills fall, 11 properly stored and kept so thnt they will be free from injury by nits, mice and weevils. It is very difficult to prevent dam age to small grain during summer | months. sented wore: Calves, under one year, 4,845; bulls, over one year and under three, 947; bulls over three years, 150; heifers nnd cows over one year and under three, 2,479, nnd cows over three years of age, 2,977. Continuous Garden A ‘"continuous" garden is possible for many months of the year If re planting Is done. Why should all of the lettuce or beans he planted at one time? Why not utilize the space left after the young onions are pull ed, by planting late cabbage? Make sure to plant enough hay crops to supply liny for next year. • * * As small grain matures, look out for chinch bugs and use barriers )t needed to prevent migration. • * * Persons desiring to start Into the growing of alfalfa for seed should se cure the most bartly strains of seed. • * Excellent results are being secured with alfalfa seeded on rye and wheat provided the ground Is fairly fertile and not In need of lime. • * • Cowpea hay contains 2.6 per cent more digestible protein than soy bean hay, but soy beau hay contains • larger total amount of nutrients. • • • The price of broilers decreases rap idly after June 1. Buyers prefer chick ens that weigh to \\ pounds each. It Is to your advantage to sell the cock erels as fast us they reach this weight Birds weighing two pounds or inor* each are In Icbs demand, nnd therefor* do not bring as much per pound a* the smaller birds. • • • The yield of hay from the Otootan will usually double or triple the yield of any variety of cowpeas planted under the same condition. • • • Sometimes alfalfa grows so rank that It lodges and becomes very coarse If left to reach full bloom. Here earlier cutting Is essential, but with the first crop of one-year-old stands or the second growth of older seedl ings. the stems are generally much finer and leafier and can he cut In or near full blooin without serious Impair ment of quality.
