I have been reading recently a great Q cii 111 Lilt? Y* jl au w v> v?*w farmer. It is rather noticable that there is an idea prevalent that the i' farmer has no ability to run his own affairs and that the city or town chap of all vocations knows so well : how to attend to the farmer's busi | ness and that the farmer, recognizing ! thi.s superior knowledge of his city' friend, of course, is glad to hare his ! advice. I ?: And to what end after all? Just the other day I was in the: city of Greenville and while sitting! in the lobby of the hotel at whicn! I was stopping, a farmer brought in five half gallon jars or glass cans of J blackberries, two of huckleberries ana' three of home made pickles. Tne j +T-1Q Vinncp cairi she would frive j him 2n cents each for tne ten hair I gallons, which he agreed to take, but ! when she examined them more close ! ly she' said he would have to throw in one can, as she could easily pacx! all the pickles in two cans, and said It] he would go with her to the kitchen' c,y,a nrrmiri shnw him how it could be | done. He, of course, took the $2.25! for the ten half gallons or 20 quarts, j I began figuring what he had made.! To put up the ten quarts of black-f berries it took at least 20 quarts fresh berries, at 2 cents the quart for' I picking. That was $1. The four i j quarts of huckleberries would takej eight quarts fresh berries at 10 cents the quart for picking, was 80 cents. In the one and one-half gallon or pickles there was possibly three quarts vinegar that cost him 30 cents.: There was probably 15 cents wortn of spices in the pickle and 40 cents' worth cf . sugar in both berries and, pickles. The cucumbers, artichokes, onions and other things in the pickles ! may or may not have^cost him any-j thing: Now add these together: 10u,i 80, 30, 15, 40?32.65, The lady was J to return the glass jars, but of course,' the rubbers were lost and the gooa wife of the farmer has nothing else! to do but stand over the hot stove fnj the summer time and put up tills' fruit and it is a great pleasure forf this farmer to get to go into the hotei i and take for his stuff about one-thiraj what it would cost if bought from a j store. Now, . since everybody is - advsing the farmer, I guess as I am one or them I can at least sjggest that they at : n~?nerVi f nf\A attl ft be - sure iney reuse cuuu&u IWUUVUM I for their own family and farm hands! and stock and to raise for sale those! things that he has good reason to believe he can find a fair local mar ket for. Why don't these self arrogated wel fare workers take some steps looking to the establishment of a market for the things thevv want us to raise? A Farmer.

RUSSIA PROMISES SOT TO MAKE SEPARATE PACT FOR PEACE WITH GERXAST Washington, April 23.?An official dispatch from JKetrograa, received cy the state department late today, stat er1 that there can be no separate peace between Russia and Germany. Reports that the overthrow of the Russian czar would result in Russia forsaking the entente were denied in the dispatch, the author of wjilcn was not given. "The charge that the imperial ad ministration was planning a separate peace causea ils uveiutiuw auu Has tened the revolution, which was brief and bloodless," the Snatch said. The" official announcement of the state department follows: "The department of state has re ceived a telegraphed report on condi tions in Russia. Concern is shown over reports of the possibility of a 'separate peace' which have appeared in the press, evidently Inspired Dy Germany. The telegram says thai Russia is no more likely to abandon the war without achieving her object than is the United States. It is point ed out that the charge that the im perial administration was planning a separate peace caused its overthrow and hastened the revolution whicn was brief and bloodless. "It is stated that the revolution will expedite the defeat of Germany and establishment of a general peac*5, permanent and universal. "The prompt recognition accorded i Russia by the United States, tlie dis patch says, could not have come at a more opportune moment, and ?ave encouragement-and help to the coun ; cil of ministers and their supporters. "President Wilson's thrilling allu sion to the Russian revolution in his | address to congress has made a deep and lasting impression on the Rus t sian people. It has been translated, ! together with other of the president's utterances concerning American par-. ! ticipation, into Russian and they are being given the broadest circulation in a pamphlet for free distribution. "Xo people, it is stated, so circum stanced have ever made greater sac rifices for freedom than the Russians and they fully realize that a separate peace would jeopardize all they have gained. ? "The American form of government, says the report, is the model of the Russian people ana ine parucipauvu of the United States has infused in them a confident spirit and imbuea them with a firm determination. They have an army unequalled in numbers, unexcelled in courage and led by commanders of ability and patriotism. They hare resources inestimable ana unapproachable. "If Americans are increase*, at tne intrigue and underhanded achina tions of Germany in th' ma 3t ana oil their border Russia * \r four fold cause for like rea^ ana will make any sacrifice ^ - jr than conclude'a separate peace."

TWO (?RiUT FOKC'EK JKKULT FOR .VASTER Y Thojse of Autocracy and of Democra cy Contend in World W?r, Tumulty Says. | Washington.

Will you ac j cept the challenge of democracy?

THE FRENCH FASHIONS | ARBIE IN NEW IORRI l : . ! Designers Shape the Silhouette in Va rious Ways. Foulard a Re viled Silk. ! New York, April 16, 1917.' Paris fashions have begun to ar-' rive in X-ew York?and all in good, | time for Easter, too! | Enough of these models have come ' safely through the perilous trip 1 across the Atlantic to give us an idea ' of the Parisian decree as to what shall be worn this spring and summer. I | Whether the silhouette would be straight, oval or "barrel" is the ques j tion that most women have been anx ious to have settled. It would be so maddening to find that Paris.-had. vot ed in favor of the barrel silhouette when you had finally decided upon a straight-line frock for Easter, ana ice versa. A Summer Frock of Fine White Toile and Flonneing. Fortunately, the French houses ! have been in favor of all three sii I noueiies, so me caoit:e rests v*im mc , individual, and no one having eleci i ed to appear either slender or slight I ly puffed out around the "hips will De i in any danger of not being correctly j dressed. Certainly, the fashions are j most accommodating, in so far as j they allow one the choice of so many different styles. . The soft drapery in skirts is a fea ture much in evidence among the new gowns. There are also some tunics, the lovers of this graceful style will be glad to know, ^raping is one or the means of accomplishing the ovai silhouette with the skirt narrowing down at the hem and plenty of ful ness about the waist and hips. The Width and Length of Skirts. There is no rule about the width or the length of skirts, for they vary ac cording to the caprice of the designer. Some skirts are as narrow as a yard at the hem, while others are as wide as three yards. It is just the same with the length of skirts. While some reach the ankles, the shoe-top length and even shorter is used in other models. Skirts for street wear are for the most part inclined to be narrow. In evening gowns, the pui fed effect of skirts looped under, to a narrower foundation is used to a great extent, and this same effect also appears here and there among the afternoon gowns. . . - The Revival of Foolard. As-, to material's, it is particularly interesting to note the revival of fou lard, an ideal silk for spring and summer. It is used very freely, es pecially in the dotted design so well known. Coin dots of all sizes and colors appear in many silks. Satin, taffeta, crep meteor, chiffon and Geor gette are the smart materials of the season for afternoon frocks, and the diaphanous tulles, nets and laces are used for the evening gown. Black and-white combinations are used . in the development of some of the most charming evening gowns. The sketch shows a summery frock, of fine white voile with flouncing forming the side tunics and the vest like front of the waist. A ribbon cirdle supplies the color note in th!& dainty all-white frock. A narrow ribbon of the same color as the girdle holds in the soft gathered poff of the undersleeve at the wrists. Cut ma chine stitching is the finish used for the collar and vest, as 'well as the edges of the sleeves. SIX JtfOKII IZE BOIS TO HELP WORK FARMS Secretary Wilson Sets Important; Work For Youths.
