English Woman's Trappings Mount in Cost, Luxury LONDON, Sept. 22. The trappings which the fashionable English woman must have are becoming more luxurious almost every week, the latest instance being the -dictum that umbrella and handbag must match. Tortoise-shell and ivory fittings are the favorite choice for silk umprellas and bags, and, with ivory, bottle-green silk is liked for its old-world effect. Both Ivory and tortoise -shell are costly, which may account fof their popularity, but Ivory is the higher prices. An umbrella fitted with a solidStick, surmounted by a ball, will cost$50 and a bag as much more. Both umbrella and bag are, as a rule, finished with the owner's initials, at an additional cost of $7.50. In the country and at the seaside, cretonne covered sunshades, with handbags to match, are popular. The sunshades are domeshaped, and are patterned with Chinese garden, pagoda, large bird and flower effects. Bags, commodious enough to carry a stockinette bathing suit, needlework, knitting or crochet, and even a light luncheon, accompany the sunshade, the wearer slipping the composition bracelet handle over her wrist.

great demand for increased crop production. "'Save the Straw' should be a national slogan. All the newspapers should caution the farmers against this wasteful practice. "The time will come, if it la not already here, when it will be a crime In law as it Is a crime in fact to rob the soil, and every possible means of restoring fertility must be insisted upon and every farmer must be Impressed with this duty. The soil belongs to posterity and no man has a right to Impoverish it. This Is a fundamental principle. "The spreading of straw on the fields will also make a winter protection for grain crops, will hold the snow and prevent soil from blowing, all of which should appeal to the farmers from a money standpoint. "In any event straw must not be de-siroyed."

NE ME of Nations WAYNE COUNTY (Continued from Page One) tors to ratify the league of nations, as it now stands." "To try to amend it would be fatal to the treaty, and it is my Judgement that the best thing to do is to accept it as it now stands." Other men, who oppose the treaty and league as it now stands, have many reasons. Avoid Foreign Alliances. "I think the league plan is badly draw, and as constituted, has many elements of grave danger to our nation. But I am sufficiently hopeful to believe that the danger from a badly drawn covenant is not as great as the danger of no league at all." Washington laid down the best rule to follow, in this case avoid foreign alliances," said the one returned soldier who voted "no," in explaining his ballot. Washington's statement was also cited by several other opponents as their greatest reason for hope that the covenant would be rejected. Others simply said: "Not In favor of any league of nations, with or without reservations. UNIONS BEGIN (Continued from Page One) OUT AT CHICAGO. SOUTH CHICAGO, Sept. 22.

ORCHARD FRUIT TO BE SHORT, BRYANT'S WEEKLY PREDICTION

The production of orchard fruit In ' Indiana this year is considerably below the average yearly yield of the state, according to the weekly report, covering crop and weather conditions, of George C. Bryant, field agent of the co-operative crop reporting service for Indiana. The report covers the period of September 13 to 20. Only a few of the orchards of the state are producing more than half a crop. Truck crops are said to show the effects of dry weather and potatoes are a failure In many localities. The report follows: "Temperatures for the week weri considerably above the normal, notwithstanding some of the nights were quite cool. No reports of frost damage were received. Light showers occurred in many localities on the 17 and 18, but were not sufficient to put the ground in good condition for fall plowing, and but little work Is being done along ttis line. Corn Crop Safe. "The weather conditions have been almost ideal for curing corn and most' of it is out of the way of frost. Many, silos will not be filled on account of the unsettled condition of the live, stock market. Corn cutting fa general! over the state. "All truck crops show the effects of dry weather and seasoned yields arej very low. Potatoes are almost a failure in some localities. "Tobacco is rapidly being- cut. The! growth is very irregular end the duality none too good, which is due- t Insufficient rainfall at the end of the season.
