Cardigans Have Extended Popularity

yoRK Mar. 15.—(U.P)— Possibly no other single style has captured NE | c 0 px tended a fashion popularity as the cardigan, which made its ,ntl ' ~h "h as •* sportswear type, and which has gradually invaded initial .ip'" | re , tlnl!i The reasons for its longevity are obciously niani n °7 pT youthful, in keeping with the modern clothes spirit and one of f ° l<: ost practical of the jacket themes. ' ,>veloped in fabrics that are colorful and sheer, it appears, in one of the

favored sheer mediums in rh,ffo "' J The chiffon doubled in the jack- ’ in costumes of this type, the ntiraii frequently complements a of sleeveless or practically aleless genre, in formal afternoon , expression. Often two tones of one color combine, the jacket and the pleated skirt agreeing, while the bole a tuck-in or simulated tuck-in or an overblouse, affects a deeper tone. This same idea of a darker bodice eoatrasting with the skirt and jacket is also refracted in costumes wherein the bodice is fashioned of printed sheer silk, while the two-layer jacket and skirt are in a solid color, repeating one of the delicat etones in the print. From chiffons to suede is a far cry, yet the cardigan responds to both. Suede jackets for spring present themselves as allies of the sleeveless dress and stress coloring and soft styling rather than practical features. In other words, they are entering the field of the ensemble, and departing from the idea of leather sportswear as strictly utilitarian. The Psi lota Xi business meeting will lie held at the bame of Mrs. Chalmer Porter, on Mercer avenue. Tuesday evening at eight o’clock. BRIDES TO BE HONORED AT PARTY Complimentary to her niece, Mrs. Lois Peterson Keller, and to three. brides of the near future, Misses Alta , Ramona Sirfith and Lillian Bassett, all of Fort Wayne.

BARLEY NEEDS NO TREATMENT A large number ot inquiries have been coming into the comity agent’s office, recently, concerning the treatment of last year's barley seed for the scab disease which affected barley so widely last season. (’. T. Gregory, of Purdue, has this to say about seed treatment of barley. "Relative to the barley scab there will lie no danger in planting the barley seed next year if it is thoroughly cleaned before planting. The reason for cleaning is merely to get rid ot the badly infected grains which w uld probably be killed out but which would not propagate the scab The scab disease of barley, oats and wheat is not carried in the ground but on the surface on old decaying rubbish, particularly corn stalks". Ot course, if the barley is affected with smut, which is eery common in oats, it should be treated with formaldehyde, using one pint of formalin to five gallons of water. This will be enough to tueat 50 bushels of grain, using a sprinkling can to poisen the grain as it is being shoveled from one pHe to another. Cover over for about two hours and then uncover to allow the gas to escape. The grain may be sacked in several days after treating as this method of applying the formaldehyde wil not wet the grain preceptlble. This same method can be used for the cbntrol of smut in oats. Further information may be secured from the county agent !•'. E. Christen. The reoccurrence ot scab in barley again this year, which is a different disease than smut, will depend largely upon weather conditions and how well the field has been cleaned up. The development of scab Is greatly encouraged by hot rainy weather at the time the grain is filling and maturing. However, no such trouble as was experienced last year will be anticipated again this season. o Here’s Chance To Purchase A Village Memphis, Tenn., March 15 —(UP) — Some unattached mayor or city manager can buy a whole town containing a "farm, five residences, store, creamery, ice plant, gin (cotton) big garage and machine shop, cotton warehouse, waterworks system, swimming pool and picnic grounds,” and run it as he pleases, if he communicates with Lake Hays ,lochl attorney, and if he has the money. Hays represents the Stat Banking Department of Mississippi. The department purchased the town of Hansonhurst, to protect a mortgage of $40,000 held by the Bank of Houston, , H iiston, Miss., which the department is liquidating. “I don’t know whether it would be more advantageous to try to sell it as i whole or piece by piece,” Hays said. “It ig a splendid opportunity for some defunct mayor or city manager to buy ,i whole town and get back in the business. It is also a goad chance for anybody who wants to diversify.’’ The town was built by C. C. Hanson who still "runs it.” Hays said Hanson would probably be permitted to remain in charge until some disposition is made of the property. o— Gen, Nobile Resigns His Rank And Offic?

The other was native born. Botli lived ami moved mid had their being for a long life time in Adams county, Both lived a life so quiet, yet so helpful, with such a sweet spirit of Christianity, with such evidences of good citizenship and sturdy patriotism that their lives became Inspirations to all who knew them and they ought to be remembered tenderly for the benefit of those who shall come after them. America Is said to be a heterogeneous association of peoples, but those of us who have lived in this vicinity know that there has been an influence here that lias made our citizenry entirely homogeneous. Here was a youth steeped in tlie traditions of Europe and here was the other whose traditions were entirely that brought about by several generations of American assimilation, yet each living a life f ideal Americanism. There is a lesson as to the harmonizing influence of our institutions in such lives.. The youth who came to America was Henry Colter. The native born was Mrs. Amanda Fordyce Schenct.
