Black bows are favor- 1 ed on all white shoes of the "pump" t or low Oxford type. r The black heel will be seen on i some of the white canvas and buck skin shoes in place of the tan or white covered heel. Black stockings may be worn with i white shoes, or white stockings with 1 black ones. Gloves show the same inevitable combination. Some long gloves of white kid have narrow diamond shaped insets of black near the el bow, and long black gloves reverse this order by having insets of white. FRINGE OF STRAW. The hat in the drawing is one of the ii new things. Cut away from the front, it flares wider and wider at the back, y like a longshoreman's sou'wester, or a fireman's oilskin.

A Russian blouse dress of pink inen has scalloped edges worked in vhite and a belt of deep rose-colored 'elvet ribbon. A quaint little dress in pink linen s made on empire linen and is trim ned with white. Over the shoulder s slung, on long white cords, a small )ag of the pink linen with allover )raiding in white-a charming copy in niniature of the cordelier of the small irl's mother. When mother goes south the small laughter must accompany her, and be equipped for the change in climate as well. Accordingly there are already being shown new styles in parasols for the little one to carry under the southern sun. As might be expected, most of the parasols for children are bordered, like those of their mothers. There are pink and blue scalloped silk flounces on linen and pongee models, plaid or check borders on plain silk, tucked borders, and even dlresden bor dering on a dainty parasol for dressy occasions. NEW FEATURES ARE MARKED. Gowns of Parisian Cut Are Especially ti Distinctive-Swagger Costume c in Combination. g c An unusual tailored gown of fine white French serge has a panel all C the way down the front of cross-tuck ed serge. Peeping from under each tuck is seen the long half of a pearl button, making it look as though the long row of buttons was but half pushed through so many buttonholes. The gown is completed by a big sailor collar of Irish linen. A "coat" of lace or chiffon is a fea ture of winter gowns. On one gown of white net the coat is of geranium colored chiffon, open over each hip. All-over embroidery and filet inser tion form the "coat" proper for a lingerie model. This may be bought separately as a blouse to be worn with lingerie *or linen skirt. A swagger gown of heavy natural rough crash is made up in combina tion with chamois taffeta, and is braided in white. The rough linen opens at both sides, not only in the usual slash toward the foot, but also in a slit at the hip, showing the taffeta as though it were a petticoat. The girdle and a piping at the cuffs are also of taffeta, which is a delicate blue and green changeable tone. Let the Hair Show.

One of our contemporaries advises scales for the farm, and that San Jose critter is doing its best to supply them. It is impossible for a man to know too much; but how easy it is for him to talk too much about what he knows.

The one-crop system means a poor soil and a poor soil always means a gre poor people. A poor people always par means uncomfortable homes, poorly pre equipped farms, very little education, coo the credit system, and in fact all that poi retards civilization. The individual, sat 1 state or nation that practices a one- of crop system will certainly come to urI poverty. There is not an individual, I 1 not a state or nation in the world to- faN day that is prosperous in spite of a I h one-crop system. Go wvherever you th, will and wherever you find a one-crop vo system, there you find a poor people. ini 'W7Ae must grow our home supplies. I da s do not advise southern farmers to e supplant cotton as their leading money ca crop, but I urge them with all the mi earnestness of my soul to grow every tw Sfood product necessary for home con- pi , sumption and to raise enough good fa k stock to manufacture the leguminous th Scrops that must be grown in order to th 5 economically increase the productive- gr ness of the soil into teams and feed for man and manure for the fields. tr y We cannot afford to send two-thirds ki of the money obtained for cotton to h; other sections of the country to pay ol D for farm products.

To the Officers and Members of the , Farmers' Union: The representatives of the Farmers' union now in Washington looking aft er legislation in which every Ameri can farmer is interested, expect to se cure definite results this session. We will probably get reforms for which o we have long been contending more Z quickly than the most optimistic of us imagine. Certainly, we will procure s them all, just as soon as the average d congressman learns the farmer is in earnest in demanding them, and that he will not be put off by evasions, the glad hand, free seed or a little petty f job or two for the brethren. But we are not going to advance one inch farther along the road until we learn to smash out of existence i the old school, hypocritical politician. with his little bag of inherited, or ac quired tricks, and pin our faith to the man who takes the large view, the sin. cere view. I want to impress these facts upon the farmer at what is r practically the outset of what prom ises to be one of the most exciting ses. e sions of recent years. I can illustrate what I mean very e easily with two little stories. The 0 first is a personal experience. I ap a proached a well-known congressman from the south during the recent ses tt sion and asked him if he were going n to support the bill calling for a gen eral parcels post. Quickly as light ning he said: "Barrett, I've got a nice :e job for a kinsman of yours." I told a him I wasn't hunting jobs for my rela :s tives, and asked him again if he were 'e in favor of a general parcels post. "Certainly, you know I'm with you fel lows," he answered. "But tell me 'yes' or 'no' whether you favor a general parcels post," I demanded. "I favor some form of a general parcels post," Dr he finally replied. That was as far as I could make him commit himself, and yet that man has the entire con fidence of his district, thousands of ll his farmer constituents believe he at loses sleep devising ways to advance ad their interest. Another story: I received a iew days ago a letter from an influential farmer, thanking me for the efforts tle we are putting forth in behalf of cer- rooi tain measures. Among them he also and specified a general parcels post. "Go larim ahead," he wrote enthusiastically, ure "We're backing you up. The politi- witi clans are not going to fool us any B longer. We've let them do that long time enough. But I do wish you would con- wer centrate your energies on getting the first recall. We want to be able to turn stat the rascals out when they deceive us." acct This brother proceeded to tell me junL that his especial representative was a ima simon-pure friend of the farmer, who war could always be depended o to der help whenever help was nee .i4 ' whose sincerity was tnchallengeable. tim That same highly recommended con- by gressman, the "farmers' friend," the J paragon of sincerity, told xie in the suc presence of several witnesses that he fali could not support a general parcels its ; post bill. I asked him if he were not wa satisfied that at least eighty per cent. tie of his constituents want such a meas- ihi D ure. He said he was. rt I, I am in favor of the recall. I am in favor of the initiative and referendum. a I have voted for them as long as I had FL y the chance, and I will continue to p vote for them until we enact them W into law, and that will be at an earlier I date than the average man hopes. 0 But what earthly good will the re y call do such farmers as those I have .e mentioned, the constituents of these re y two precious patriots? If they can at a- pull the wool over the eyes of the W td farmer in the absence of the recall, w is they can do it just as easily when w to the recall is operative in every con- m e- gressional district. of ýd Only the leaders of the farmers who .I Ls. try to get things done in Washington. s Is know the buncombe and gold-bricks to handed out consistently to the man 7y of the acres by the politicians. There re are a few good, strong, upright, sin an cere men in both branches. But the id majority proceed upon the theory that ild the best way to continue to hold office is, is to trade, juggle, flatter and mislead the man whose vote is the first neces he sity for office-holding. ed That is why I say that though I tor heartily advocate the recall, initia tre tive and referendum, as aids to direct ys- government by the peoplet, that none :ed of them are worth a whoop unless ply the farmer learns to distinguish the the political fakir from the statesman. ith We can't put off our responsibilities hil- as intelligent thinkers and voters art upon any convenient legislative de igh vice. The American people thought her they had founded genuine Democracy lit? when they decreed they wouldn't have a king, or a hereditary nobility. They to are still in voluntary bondage to the of faking politician. The farmer is an Sin especial offender. Until he learns to .ght separate the political sheep from the ton goats, the recall, initiative, referen ere dum, direct election of senators, or rom anything else will only partly emanci as pate him-for, according to present isfy indications the politicians can work I of their little bluff game as easily with fall as without these handicaps. able Washington, D.

Chicago.-Buffalo Jones, the lassoer o of wild animals in Africa, and Cy De a Vry, the keeper of the Lincoln park F zoo, began an argument one day last summer that had its finish the other day.
