A Frock That Fills a Dozen Needs The backbone ot every well* planned wardrobe Is the "all-day-long" frock, simple enough for the office or shopping, dressy enough for tea or bridge. Here is one that you’ll just live In—a jewel-toned ribbed crepe with a frilly <and very young) satin collar. The sleeves are fashionably full and taper to the wrist. The skirt is simple and becoming and features pointed seaming in back. Altogether it is a frock that is as correct and wearable as any that have come out this season. And, of course, its simplicity is a distinct asset from the home dressmaker's point of view. Size 16 requires 3‘a yards 39-inch material, % yard contrasting. Width about 1% yard.

Large Surpluses Os Butter And Cheese Cause Grave Concern « _«l While the general prospect for business in America is good and 1 while in most lines there is a decided improvement, the dairy pro- j ducts business which accounts for I more income annually than the steel industry, the auto industry or the combined cotton and grain in-dustry-is having its toughest time in all history. There are many opinions of the causes and corrections but it is gen- ’ erally understood now' that as long as we have a great surplus of butter and cheese, all the ’’pegging" by the government, all the buying and all the saving by those engaged in manufacturing, will be only tem-porary-and each break of the market, leaves a worse condition than before. Paul Potter, writing for the Chicago Tribune, stresses the point that after all is said and done, it will be eventually necessary for the dairy farmer to help himself. He says: ",ln the country, farmers by the thousands are bringing their cream to market for 22c to 23c a pound, and all too frequently returning with oleomargarine at three to tour , pounds for a quarter. Consumption in the city, which last year ab- ( sorbed large stocks marketed in November and December, on a sliding downward price scale, also was curtailed.’’ The various efforts by the gov-1 eminent to meet the increased pro-| duction of butter and butterfat were | checkmated apparentl gy a reduction in demand for the products, "pegging” the market by large purchases have apparently only been temporary in relief and the farmer encouraged by a fixed price has ncreased his production more rapidly than it could be consumed. It is a serious problem, for unless there is complete and honest cooperation on the part of everyone, the present surplus of more tihan a hundred million pounds ot butter and 25,000,000 pounds of cheese, cannot possibly be used before next May when the new sea-1 son of normally heavy production.|

starts. Local dealers in butterfat and milk will be glad to cooperate every way they can and to do all within their power to work out the most serious situation ever confronted by the dairy interests. Every farmer should varefully and systematically study the situation and once they thoroughly understand the problem, they will cooperate. o— . COURTHOUSE Case is dismissed The case of the State vs. Simeon Hain, Jr., filed February 17, 1932, charging him with larceny was dismissed today on motion to dismiss by Prosecutor Ed Bosse. Lack ot ! evidence was given as the reason for the dismissal. Case ends Abruptly The case of Globe 'lndemnity Co., vs. Allen Martin was dismissed late ’ this afternoon after part of the evidence had been presented to Judge H. M. DeVoss. It was a suit on account. The plaintiff moved the dismissal and the court accepter! tihe motion. Sanity Hearing Application for insanity inquest upon John \V. Everhart filed, also statement of Dr. G. J. Kohne filed. ! Court appoints Drs. Floyd Grandstaff and W. E.
