IN GOWNS OF DISTINCTION THE MATRON TRIUMPHS ' I ?' . " ? MKRELY to think of h dress, for dress-up times, gives one & crepey feeling, it appears. For crepes, In tfctir various weaves, remain unrivaled and so far, even unchallenged. Every where in afternoon and evening gather ings they predominate, making a pleas ant color harmony In shades of blue, belce, gray, green, rust and brown, with black interspersed rather plenti fully among them. No fabric Is hetter adapted to the demands of the matron who looks for long and graceful lines and Is devoted to clever and original Ideas in designing. A gown that will score a success on every one of these requirements ap pears in the handsome model pictured. It Is made of French gray crepe and, except for gray beads, the material Is sufficient unto itself In Interpreting the present mode superbly. Narrow folds of the crepe, dotted with beads, are simple as can be, but they contrive an original and beautiful adornment. Set In between two wider folds they fornf) the girdle. This gown may be worn over a sheer, lace-trimmed slip (short er In length) in flesh color, or in white posed over a light pink undersllp. Beaded trimmings, used with fine re straint, fringes and trimmings made of the material, characterise these crep? gowns. They obey the dictates of fashion gracefully, with skirts ankle length and low waist lines. But the uneven hem line and such transparent devices as appear In the gown "pictured, betray that the shorter skirt Is held in fond remembrance. Sleeves are endlessly varied, neck lines fairly high, all conspiring to please the woman who has learned to value distinction. eorvMOMT rr isiimi mc waJu uukjh. THE SWEET POTATO INDUSTRY Maximum .Production of High Quality Potatoes Essential. Clemson Cofllege, June 5. ? F< w crops are so wefl adapted to South Carolina soil awd can bo so easily worked into tho . 3) resent fanning .system as the moist flesh Southern sweet potato. However, the methods of growing, harvesting, curing and marketing n? ' ipracttccrl in formrr years atre not acceptable iii> com mercializing ami establishing sweet potato growing as an Industry. South Carolina now produces an nually a pproxlma tely 1 0 ,0 0 0 ,<> 0 0 buShel s of sweet i>otutoes, or in the nelgltlrorihood of -10 per cent. o? tbe 'totad annual production of the pota to producing states of tlio United States hut South Carollmn puts on tbe com mercial markets rather less than 10 l?er cent, of her production. Tbe commercial markets, mainly the northern markOts, are accepting only tbe highest quality product from the storage houses ami green or summer shipments. Tlierefore the consuming power of <the lastilng and economical market is limited to very early sum mer shipments and the highest quality storage house potatoes rather than those potatoes kept In the old-fashioned dirt hills or lm?k9. Hence, growers and prospective growers of sweot po tatoes must realize the vital impor tance of quality production, together with the necessity of marketing local ly and feeding to livestock the off grades for Just as much expense is involved in the marketing of a low grade product as In marketing one of the highest quality. A profitable market may l>e hajj for off grades by supplying farm hee<ls ?nd local markets and by feeding to livestock. In short, at present profit able sweet potato growing mi^ht said to be contingent upon combining this as an Industry with other diversi fied branches of agriculture small dairy herds, hog raising, beef cattle and horses and mules.

ARKANSAS Arkansas wai nam ed utter the river which flows diagon ally through this state and Is one of the chief tributaries of the Missis- j ?ippl. It is said that the early ] settlers found ia this territory, ; an fiwtlan trlhw nnu>fli? JLrkai>^MT , but the actual meaning of the j word Is not known. It probably < has Houje relation to the word \ Kansas. There has been much | confusion as to the correct pro- { nuiu-latlon of Arkansas; To r?- ] wove this as far as possible a < resolution wos passed by the J state senate in 1881 which specl- i Ofd that the true pronunciation ] was "Ar-kan-saw." Oriulually Arkunsas was a ! part of the Louisiana Purchase. ; Its first settlement was made by \ the French about 1685. Kxcept j for the few years during which j by secret, treaty It was ceded to < Spain, it remained under French j rule, until purchased by the Unl- j ted States in 1808. For nearly \ ton years after this, it was a j part of Louisiuna territory. With i the admission of the State ot \ Louisiana in 1812 this northern section was formed Into the Mis souri territory. In 1810 thero' was another partition and Ar kansas territory wtas created, which included the present state and what later was called Indian territory. Due to the reports of an early | explorer named Tike, whp \dslted, < this region in 1800, the lncor- 1 rec't idea was generally accepted 1 that most of the expanse of plains east of the Rockies was a vast desert. This idea per sisted to such an extent that as late aB 1850 the western plains were called in the school geog raphies "The "Great American Desert." Adventurous settlers, especially from the South, found conditions in Arkunsas quite oth erwise, however, and by 1888 Arkansas was admitted as the twenty-fifth state of the Union with an area of 53,385 square miles. The natural -resources of the state are considerable. There are the mineral springs of me dicinal value, which have been placed under governmental con trol at Hot Springs.
