By JERI SEELY Our photo of the week shows how extensive the train wreck of April 12, 1912 was with much of the depot being completely destroyed along with several box cars. The building on the right of the photo is the back of the old mill. Wimmen’s styles, like football schedules, is announced about a year in advance, and I’ve been reading that skirts will git longer this fall. I ain’t paid much attention to it because it ain’t official until you see it in the catalogue. And anyhow, I been too busy keeping up with the situation in the Middle East to give it much heed. But last night I was turning the pages of the catalogue to see what kind of labor saving devices has been invented in as I wanted to do a little farming, and I got over in the wimmen’s section by mistake. Right there in the catalogue it said skirts was gitting longer. That make it official. Now here’s what makes me mad about the situation. 1 ain’t particular interested in what wimmen wear or don’t wear, but it’s the fluctuations that git me riled up. Knee-length, garter-length, calllength, ankel-length or dragging the ground, it don’t make no difference to me. It’s the switching every year that worries me. And they never go from low to high you nitice, because wimmen like my old lady would just git the scissors and whack off a foot or two, but they fix it so’s a woman has got to buy a new outfit. They ought to be a law about it. Just imagine how it would be if a man’s pants went up or down a few foot ever time some guy with a wax mustache in Paris got a new idea. And there ought to be a law agin the catalogue coming out and saying wimmen’s dresses will be a foot longer this fall than last. This is a new form of taxation, what you might call “hidden" tax, hiding a gal’s legs

and hiding the tax all at the same time. Congress has already took notice of fluctuations in other things, fer instant the price of cotton can’t fluctuate more’n a certain amount per bale from one day to another. I’d like to see a law saying the length of a woman’s skirt couldn’t fluctuate more’n one inch in any one year. It’d save a heap of money. But with them Wall Street boys having a heavy interest in the garment industry, I ain’t got no real hopes fer such a law. . I reckon it would be better fer

me not to worry about such things, better if I’d just go along tending to my crops and leave wimmen’s styles to them who knows, but so far ain’t let that idea get any further than the thinking stage.
