FRIDAY FEBRUARY 25, 1921 FARMER HAS HIS TROUBLES. Many people who are free with criticism of the farmer, his ways and his prices, have never taken the trouble to try to see the fanner's problems thrown the farmer's eyes. The city consumer, with an appetite for chicken, has not Leen with the farmer through the trials and tribulations of bringing a chick from the egg stage to the broiler. The old hen must be feil, housed and attended. The little 1 hlckens require even more care. They must he protected from bad weather. Hats, rats" and other animals menace them and so do poultry diseases. When sufliciently large they are killed, dressed and taken to market. All this Is to he considered In connection with the price charge. Practically every crop the farmer raises takes the rhance of being ruined by weather or insects. If he arises at daybreak, milks a cow, cleans out the barn, compiles with all of the laws providing for clean milk and then peddles that milk at 14 cents a quart, he Is charged with being a profiteer. Without farms there would be no food and without food there would be starvation. ays Indianapolis News. The big f;mner lias made money and lives as well or better than his city brother. If the little farmer makes merely a living he feels reasonably well paid for his labor. It Is the average fanner who needs help and there should be a more sympathetic understanding of his difficulties by the city people. Kmlnent scientific gentlemen hold t!at the natural span of human life is one hundred years. Individual men and women hit that mark often enough to make the theory seem gratifylngly reasonable. If it Is sound then a man and a century ought to "come of age" at the same distance from birth. If twenty-one years Is the beginning of maturity for a man it Fhouid marl:, in like manner, the growth of a century. In that cae the Twentieth century will soon be o It ought to be ripe enough for ' : rating. It has been living at a terrific pace. Its problems and its trials have been tremendously big and difficult. The effort to solve some of them has covered many lands with blood and scattered treasure prodigally over the bottom of the eas. The automobile has proved a great aid to criminals in their operations, and now bandits working in northern New Jersey have adopted the Maxim silencer for their revolvers :is another strictly up-to-date device. Thus crime keeps pace wlrti civilization. In fact, .lust at present it seems t be a lap or two nhead of it. J: is rather curious that as yet no use has been made of the airplane for evil purposes outride f the war. Probably Its um In this way will be om of the developments of the future. The boss of the weather bureau says that the climate has not changed in a hundred year", but everybody knows, neYcrthoV-v, that it snowed more when be w:i a boy than It did after he grew up. ami that goes without regard to tl . of the person assert-' ing it. At a moo: im; .f archeologists It was announced tl :tt a stone house l" stories hi'lt Mid containing I.ooo rpartment. 1ki-1 been found somewhere o'.it West. However, It did not ontaln l.t.M hath, and the moderns still have a little something on the Indians. Pari reports that dirty paper money is causing boils. You can't frighten Americans by any such announcement as that. They are ready to take It with boils, carbuncles or tumors, or anything from lumpy jaw to leprosy. The job of connecting the world's food supply with humanity's appetite Is cot easy, as will be seen from the circumstance that 15.CHX.000 Chinese are starving whereas American grain farmers are threatening to quit producing. Kxperts estimate that 20,000.OV tons of paper pulp can be produced annually from the bamboos of India. The announcement should make the price of white papr drop at once but It won't.

'THE MEEK AMERICAN. A brother editor remrk that the average American lfes to be considered "small," so lets various gougers and .grafters rr-b Mm rlht and left, from the waiter In the restaurant who gives him the worst of ids money if he doesn't come down with a tip, to the public utility which holds him up for an Increase to pay dividends on hlghly-Inllated stock. Probably in no country In the world Is thire a people with less common spunk to stand up for their rights- than in this land of the free and home of the brave. The king-ruled Kng1Ihman takes much less punishment. Infringe 6n his rights by a hair's breadth and he goes to the mat with anything or anybody, says Capper's Weekly. Py this means, although Johnny Pull's government is a monarchy, the KngMshman has the most responsive government In the world and the most efficient, prompt and Just courts of law. The people of this nation should cultivate the habit of kicking and voting the way they kick.

Old Hoger Ascham, tutor of the unhappy Lady Jane ;ray, wrote in his book, The Sclmlemnster" : "And it Is pity that commonly more care is had, yea. that among very wise men, to find out rather a cunning man for their horse than a cunning man for their children. They say nay in word, hut they do so in deed. For to the one they will gladly give a stipend of 200 crowns by the year and are loath to offer to the other 'J00 shillings. (Jod that sitteth in heaven laughoth their choice to scorn and rewnrdeth their liberality as it should. For He suffereth them to have tame and wellordered horses but wild and unfortunate children." We have been reminded of such things recently, Rays Milwaukee Journal. Apparently we haven't changed a great deal since Koger's day, though the modern in simple justice would have to write that our children are less "wild and unfortunate" than we have deserved. Out of nearly 100,000 records of fingerprints taken by the experts In the city magistrates' court of New York since 1012, when finger-printing hecame mandatory, there has not been a single mistake. Over and over again the prints haw been questioned. Prisoners falsely protesting that they had no previous record have been submitted to the test, and Invariably the proof has been' incontestable- produced from the photographed files of the central bureau of Identification. It has been so with the tiles of the police. Again and again the test has been wade, and without a failure. An Italian inventor has projected a r?ant air liner that will carry 300 pas--ngers across the ocean In 30 hours, : d have luxurious eating and sleeping arrangements. Among those wLo will not be in the party making the mahlen voyage may be mentioned the serene and unruffled "we." Apparently, the line of cleavage In American politics for the next few wars will be found In the effort of one ias to shift the burdens of the war to the other. The profiteers are i?oing to make a desperate dTort to hold onto the plunder they accumulated. Of course, so long us sugar sells for S cents a pound, you mustn't expect ood candy to fell for less than .SI. 2.". There must be 3 or 4 cents' worth of .-agar In a pound of candy. Indeed, the sugar probably costs half as much n the ribbon string around the box. Selfishness would ruin humanity If fhTe were not suffering and need in the world to excite one's better Impulses. And, as sure as you live, there is "enough misery in the world now to keep every healthy giving arm in action. A Missourian says if you have occasion to criticize a mule, do it to his face. Don't criticize him; remain behind him, but talk to him, encourage him, work with him, and there will be oats enough for bath. A slightly reduced wheat acreage Is reported. That will not hurt if a little more time Is devoted to cultivated acreage. Potter cultivation and fewer acres might increase both production and iTotits. If you are clutehing your money when starving children cry for bread, it means if you had a tank of milk in your house you would see a baby die before you would give it a drink. No matter how prices may vary, production Is the only thing that can pull the world out of the hole. Idleness and waste have never solved a problem yet. Hotel managers are going to make bcllhopplng a profession, and, of course. It Is quite beneath the dignity of a profession to take tips. Fashion declares for longer skirts next season. You see, fashion s always demanding a change, and that's the only change left.

mmq in ecF ItflMU SU FOR THE SEASON Four Essential Outfits Are Recommended to Properly Equip Milady's Wardrobe. FOR DAY AND EVENING WEAR Serge Dress, Satin Gown, an Evening Toilette of Lace and Velvet, and Smart Coat for the Streets Are Included. Kvery woman, according to a fashion correspondent, must ltave a serge dress, a satin costume, an evening toilett showing a combination of lace and velvet, and a smart coat for street wear. To this she must add. if possible, a handsome mantle which serves for both day and evening. As for the serge frock, the simpler it is the better. It must, however, have some touch that lifts it out of the commonplace and makes it interesting. Of course, the little points that make it different like1 Blue Serge Dress Trimmed With Elaborate Soutachs s Braiding and Cm. brcidered in DlncVJ and Blue. wise make it expensive, for i t requires a great deal of thought to have one's clothes cleverly plain. There are any number of forms of trimming for serge frocks, and each one may suggest to the woman gifted In designing her own clothes or in giving an individual touch to the designs of others various modifica tions of each idea. In ottuTMvords, j eacii way of trimming suggests other ways, just as a good model is adaptable to i number of variations. On a blue serge frock from Pence of Paris the trimming takes the form of elaborate .soutache braiding and embroidered in black and blue. A charming feature is the novel arrangement of the side panel and the underskirt which slips through a slash in the overdress to form a sort of pocket. The slashed portion fastens with a button and buttonhole. The panel appears on the left side only. Oii the sleeves there is a similar trimming. Little Sclaci for Thick Ankles. Many of the best designers are making skirts that are really long. Serge frequently is combined with lace. This, of course, makes quite a dressy frock. It is hard for some of us to recomüe the idea of .such a combination, m'ihv in p::st seasons serge has Ti i : : t tli purely practical. Leather trimmings appear on sonic punched with eyelets i:i all sons of ' designs. This idea is not new, but dressmakers report thai it is just now In the full bloom of its popularity. The dresses made entirely of leather are very interesting. Ve have had leather coats of various sorts for many year. but the chemise frock, of soft kid Is new. The kid is embossed in a way to give the appearance of a beautiful old brocaded fabric that is closely akin t the lovely Venetian book and port folio covers in their mellow golden brown tone. These hues usually are selected for leather dresses. Trimming would be out of the question on frocks such as those. The sleeves are cut in one piece with the dress and an short, coming well above the elbow. There is always M wide j sash of the soft leather which t!es on one side. Leather sashes such as these have been uod most effectively by French dr- -smakers on country frocks of hright-huod homespuns and cheviots, which, like the leather dresses, are made in simple chemise form. Satin Dress Mid-Season Affair. Very, Interesting are the trimming of Kodier ribbons, especially the silk serge ribbons in mixed colors. These are ued for girdles on serges and stitched to the frocks in the form of fold. The satin dros is ahvjMs more or Ics a rrdd-ser.son affair. Satin is a change from the cloth drones 'f the winter and the filmy ones of summer,

and a change we simply must have. It is all very well to talk of economy and (

wearing the same dress for a long pe- ! I riod of time, but there is a point where i economy ceases to le a virtue, and I that is the point where we do not have ! a feeling of newness or pleasure in our clothes and whore they react upon us ami make us feel dowdy and uninteresting. To change from the serges and velours of winter into a frock of tatln or crepe de chine is very refreshing. An afternoon, dress from Jenny developed in taupe satin of a rather heavy quality is in the one-side effect which was so much a feature of the autumn models. The sleeves are unusual and full length, and the nock is finished with a high standing collar. This is a good model for spring, ami might be developed in any of the shades' of brown or in black. Lace Favored in Varied Effects. One of the very newest satin models is in a dull bronze .shade with an overdress in mlingote style made of bronze crepe georgette embroidered in a leaT and lloral design in bronze silkthreads. The redingote is open from neck to hem, revealing a tight foundation of the satin, and is caught at a low waistline with a metallic ribbon which ties in a small bow at the left side. A wide band of brown fur trims the llowing sleeves, which are threequarters length. The popularity of lace is likely to continue throughout the summer, at least, and with the vogue for lace we may expect the continuation of draperies and panels. Three-quarter length sleeves of interesting cut are featured --v., inn n .iinn HL .111: i 1.1 Llll I'll in many of-the lace frocks, and follow-

may appear In a dross made entirely of velvet or satin and he of a strikingly contrasting color, such as one of the new nils in a dress of black satin. A girdle sash may match the sleeves in fabric and color. The vogue for the lace dinner gown is very pronounced. Whereas In the past it was made over satin, velvet or metal cloth furnishes the present-day foundation for a lace gown.- Russian effects are much liked. Harks Ninety Years Dack. A model from Callot is in lace and velvet. The lace is a black chantilly and the foundation all of green velours de Lyon. The skirt drapery and novel mantlelike wrap are formed by the lace. Such a plentiful use of lace has lightened for the time being the work of the embroiderer's noodle, for the lace frock takes the place of the one which is very elaborately ornamented with needlework. With the fashion for pointed panels favored so strongly by Madeleine Vionnet, one of the most authoritative makers of the present day, many pointed laces are used. For young girls there are pinafores of lace over foundations of bright-colored brocades or taffetas. In direct opposition to those straight-line frocks are the full-skirted models that Lanvin, that famous creator of youthful models, brought out in tin) autumn. They are proving a success for the debutante. These billowing yet filmy Jenny Model Developed From Taupe Satin, Having Unusual Sleeves and a High Standing Collar. skirts of tulle that savor strongly of the modes of 1S.,0 fall many inches below the tiiort underskirt. The Street Coat. Tor the street coat a Cheruit model made on long semi-fitting lines Is regarded as one equally suitable to this season and for spring wear with the fur collar and cuffs removed. Many women buy a cloth coat at this time with a view to wearing It In the spring when they lay aside their fur coats. This model is extremely practical, for while cut on smart lines, it is not one which may be said to date Itself; that I. will net loi.k old-fashioned for some time to come. The looped panels at the sides are an Important Cheruit feature which she still uses !n many different ways on both coats and dresses. The sleeves show big drooping cuffs of fur, and there Is a yoke collar of the fur. Ostrich Toque. The lovely ostrich toques are quite bewitching when worn over a young face. They are covered with ostrich, the Hues almost uncurled, quite soft and fluffy in appearance. They are especially rrctty Irl pray.
