SPLENDID OUTLOOK FOR CROPS IN WESTERN CANADA

RELIABLE INFORMATION FROM THE GRAIN FIELDS SHOW ~ THAT THE PROSPECTS ARE GOOD. This is the time of year when considerable anxiety is felt in all the northern agricultural districts as to the probable outcome of the growing crops. Central Canada, comprising the Provinoes of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, with their 16,000,000 acres of wheat, oats, barley and flax, of which 6,000,000 acres may be said to be sown to wheat alone, has become a great factor in the grain markets of the world. Besides this, government returns show that every state in the Union has representatives in these provinces, and naturally the friends of these representatives are anxious to hear of their success. It has never been said of that country that it is absolutely faultless. There are, and have been, districts that have experienced the vagaries of the weather, the same as in districts south of the boundary line between the two countries, but these are only such as are to be expected in any agricultural country. The past has proven that the agricultural possibilities of this portion of Canada are probably more attractive in every way than most countries where grain raising is the chief Industry. The present year promises to be even better than past years, and in a month or six weeks it is felt there will be produced the evidence that warrants the enthusiasm of the present. Then these great broad acres will have the ripened wheat, oats, barley and flax, and the farmer, who has been looking forward to making his last payment on his big farm will be satisfied. At the tlme of writing, all crops give the promise of reaching the most sanguine expectations. In the central portion of Alberta, it is said that crop conditions are more favorable than in any previous year. Heavy rains recently visited this part, and the whole of this grain growing section has been covered. Reports like the following come from all parts: “Splendid heavy rain yesterday. Crops forging ahead. Great prospects. All grains more than a week ahead of last year. Weather warm last week. Good rains last night.” From southern Alberta the reports to hand indicate sufficient rain. Crops in excellent condition. Labor scarce. Throughout Saskatchewan all grains are looking well, and there has been sufficient rain to carry them through to harvest. From all portions of Manitoba there comes an assurance of an abundant yield of , all grains. Throughout southern Manitoba, where rain was needed a few weeks ago, there has lately been abundant precipltar tion, and that portion of the province will in all probability have a crop to equal the best anticipations. A large quantity of grain was sown on the stubble in the newer west, which is never a satisfactory method of farming, and may reduce the general average. Taken altogether, the country is now fully two weeks in advance of last year, and in all grains the acreages sown are much larger than in 1911. This means that with auspicious weather the west will have the grandest harvest in its history. Two hundred and fifty million bushels of wheat has been mentioned as an estimate of the present growing crop, and it looks now as if that guess will be none too large.

FADS AND FANCIES of FASHION

FOR SUMMER COMFORT

DRESSY LITTLE GOWN DESIGNED FOR THE SMALL MAIDEN. Simple One-Piece Style That Is Attractive and Quiet —Collarless Neck and Short Sleeves the Things for Juvenile Wear. \ /■ 1 2 > : The Illustration gives a little gown with quite a dressy air, yet - nothing could be simpler than this modest, one-piece style, with its flat collar in two sections, the short, wide sleeves and the very restrained skirt trimming. White percale figured with pink rosebuds is the material of the frock, which a little cheap lace Insertion and a belt of pink louisine ribbon set off well. Lawn and muslin are other adaptable materials for a dainty and youthful effect, and if the dress is of dotted swiss it could be made very grand with a trimming, of three narrow frills, these put at the bottom of the skirt and to edge the collar and sleeves. White shoes and stockings and a pink hair ribbon go with this pretty get-up, which, all told, could be made to cost less than four dollars. And now to the gist of my talk — the child’s comfort —whenever a col-

LINGERIE ALMOST TOO DAINTY

Elaboration of Lace and the Finest of Hand Work Is Now the Demand of Fashion. No notable changes have been made recently in underclothing. If possible, it is more than ever irreproachable’in cut and of a daintiness that entices one into spending every cent of one’s pin money, just as though no provision need be made for anything to wear over the fascinating frillies. Probably you have heard that so much lace was never used before, that chemises and combination sets are veritable cobwebs of lace and lawn and'even wholly composed of more diaphanous and filmy fabric. • It is difficult to avoid thinking of our grandmammas and how, in their view of it, pretty underclothing was scarcely respectable. Certainly we have changed all that and know no longer the regime of unbleached calico and handmade crochet—andTyet a lingering prejudice survives against the overdressy, overtransparent garment of lingerie, whether it be worn by night or by day.

COAT HANGER WITH SACHET

Decided Novelty That Has the Merit of Being Easily and Inexpen•V sively Prepared. Nothing commands so ready a sale at a bazar as some little novelty, but as a rule, it is rather difficult to obtain good ideas for articles of this description that may be easily and inexpensively prepared. Our sketch, at any rate, illustrates one suggestion that may be carried out

RICH LOOKING MANTEAU

to warmth, and as to this point fashion calls for soft laundering. All of the stout frocks worn by smart children are done up without starch, ginghams, piques and the heaviest linens and crashes coming from the Ironing board with a! limp fall. Where the dress material is heavy enough, too, to do without them, petticoats should be dropped in hot weather and bloomers or wide drawers in the dress material worn. Some little bloomers for childrens’ hot weather use are in white checked dimity, and pongee and china silk in tan and black. .. . - ■ ' . ' '■ . The weight of the child’s hat certainly comes into the question of comfortable raiment in warm weather, and since the smarter children wear very simple headgear with their afternoon and play frocks fine millinery seems rather out of place at this season. Some charming and cheap hats for the dressier afternoon frocks are made of shirred point d’esprit, a bit of ribbon or a wreath of tiny flowers going about the crown. For practical service many mothers buy the adult hats of peanut straw and cut down the brim, edging it with a wide white tape, machine sewed. Two or three bands of the same, finished with flat bows at the side, are put around the crown of the hat.

at a trifling cost, and for which any odd small remnants of silk or satin may be utilized, and it is also a useful little article that should sell well at a good profit. Ordinary wooden coat-holders furnished with a wire hook may be purchased in many shops from a penny upwards and for this purpose a cheap holder will serve quite as well as * more expensive one. The wood should be carefully covered with silk or satin or any other material that may have been selected.

then a dainty little scent sachet made and fastened in its place with ribbon strings in the manner shown in our sketch. On the sachet may be worked some pretty little floral design indicating perhaps the scent it contains, and the small sketch on the right hand side illustrates the sachet prior to being tied in position. It is outlined with a silk pord carried into three little loop* at each of lhe lower corners, and at the upper corners the ribbon strings are attached. To complete the holder the wire hook can be bound round and round with narrow ribbon until it is entirely covered.

HAD TERRIBLE ITCHING, BURNING HUMOR ON FACE

Covered With Scabs. Very Embanrazzing. Resinol Cured. Here is proof Indeed of what Resinol Will do for sufferers from tormenting, unsightly skin humors. Mr. Will D. Hays, Russellville, Tenn., says: “I caught sycosis or barber’s Itch. My face would get to smarting and burning, and great rod welts would come on it, and in a few hours my face would be covered with scales or scabs the size of wheat bran. It wbuld Itch a great deal and the more I rubbed it, the worse it became.' It even got up In the edge of my hair. It certainly was very embarrassing as well as annoying, too, aa everyone wanted to know what was the matter with my face. I tried several different local remedies, but they did not do any good. Then I sent for a small jar of Resinol Ointment and that one jar cured me inside of ten days. I had had the barber’s itch for thirty or forty days. I believe Resinol will do the same for others." (Dated April 11, 1912.) Resinol Ointment stops itching Instantly, and with tbs aid of Beslnol Soap Is the ideal hot!

Senator Dixon was condemning a piece of political deception. "The thing was as flagrant,” he said, "as the railway case. “Two men, one of them very short, were passing through a station toward the train gates when the bigger one was heard to say: " ‘l’ve took- a half ticket fur ye, George. Yer so little, ye’ll pass, all right.’ “ ‘Rut,’ protested George, ‘how about my beard?’ And he twiddled his chin beard nervously. “ ‘Oh,’ rejoined the other, ‘tell ’em it’s a mole,’"

The Middle-Aged Woman.

Of the many ways in which the mid-dle-aged woman may vary the effect of her afternoon gowns none Is simpler than the use of a collar and cuffs of white voile edged with scalloping and embroidery in a floral design. Another change may be the frock set of white chiffon with border of black malines, and still another is the one of black net hemstitched with silver thread. Some of these collars are so King in front that they terminate only at the waist line, where they cross in surplice effect and are tucked away under the girdle. An excellent model of this sort is of light blue lawn embroidered with black dots, and a second is of white argaric trimmed with tiny folds of broadcloth, alternating with eponge.

Do you find him satisfactory?” “He’s perfectly fine,” said Mrs. Van Tyle. “To begin with, his yellow complexion is such that at the end of a long, dusty ride he doesn’t show any spots, and then when I am out in my limousine I have his pigtail stuck through a little hole in the plate-glass window, and I use it as a sort of bell rope to tell him where to stop."— Weekly.
