A Fashion Show Arranged For You WE MUST lie in fashion today. Fashion roaches oven into our thoughts and spoooh, into our every activity, into almost every incidental oi our present-day haiekground. Though elusive and constantly changing, we must be familiar with this force if we'are to hold our places as active members ot a modern community. To speak of young girls as flappers is to date ourselves as immediately post-war. Plush and mohairs would stamp the past on our home furnishings. And antiquated household appliances would continue to submerge us in drudgery distinctly untashionable. There is no better parade of fashion than that which is presented to you daily in the pages of this newspaper. Through the advertisements, leading merchants and manufacturers are telling you about fashions in living. Hats and shoes now 1 icing worn, the better kind of household conveniences, the best values in foods, decorations, furnishings each advertisement contains sincere and truthful news of the latest offerings of the stores. W ith the advertisements you can keep abreast of the times. You will find that it pays you to read them every day.

Murder of "Witch-Widow” Broke Nine-Year Spell MAftRiVaE FktcrcGAt rt Hex Slaver. 1 Vas-tiNgcf ihCcvL That a young male goat led through the moonlight by a yellow-haired virgin can be turned into a handsome youth, is just one of the fantastic superstitions which receive wide credence in certain Pennsylvania communities where “Hexing"—witchcraft—is still said to be practiced and is believed in and feared. The recent slaying of Susan Mummey, “witch-widow” of Ferndale, Pa., charged with which young Albert Ya-hinsky is now awaiting trial at Pottsville. was, according to the confession of the accused, the climax of nine years of spell-binding Yashinsky says he shot old Sus after a “pow-wow” man had told him he never would be free from her spell until her heart was pierced. Yashinsky’s liancee. pretty Selma Bemstel, regards hint as a hero and expressed a wish to marry him in the jail.

Few of the modern vegetables or annuals, however, need such deep cultivation, for their roots seldom delve Into the ground for more than a few inches, and the fertiliz er, if placed 2 feet under the surface, might just as well have been left in the barnyard for all the good it will do the garden plants.

It will make a decided difference in the moisture retaining propensities of the i garden, and when placed a foot or less beneath the surface will act |in the double capacity of humus 1 and fertilizer.
