Velvets an Poiret Twills Predominate (By Augusta V. Brown, Special Correspondent for The Williston Way) Washington, D. C., Oct. 31st.? With Jack Frost first visit of the season to Washington attention turned from frocks of the silky crepes to those made of heavier fabrics. At present chiffon velvets and poiret twills are holding the center ot the fashion stage and it is very difficult to determine which material is the most popular. Those who are not partial! to embroideries preferring to depend upon the elegance of the cloth and the cut of the garment for its style are selecting chiffon velvet. Poiret twill lends itself admirably to the treatment of embroideries and headings and those who like the bright effects are selecting the woolen fabric. One noticeable fact among several models which have come down from the Metropolis during the past week is that the waist lines have taken an unexpected upward turn and in some instances are at the normal waist lines. Skirts are all widths from oqjp and qjuarter yards to as much as three ' vards around the bottoms of the skirts depending on the cut of the garment. The season is now sufficiently under way to determine the success of the ankle length skirt for street wear. In spite of all that has been done by the best shops to promote it the ankle length skirt has not been generally accepted by even the most fastidious dressers. When the real social season opens up with the convening of Congress the new skirt may come into its own for formal afternoon and evening wear. Undoubtedly skirts are much longer than they were this summer. Except among the very young school girls knee length skirts are a thing of the past. The average skirt length ranges from about midway to seven inches from the floor depending upon the becomingness to the wearer. A new arrival from ^few York made of. midnight blue poiret twill 1?" ?r\f Crand UriUgS icmmiovcu^to wi mother's day. The neck of the basque waist is finished with a circular collar which is much narrower on the left .shoulder than the right though nbt more than six inches wide at the widest point which falls directly over the center of the right shoulder. The waist length sleeves fit snugly as far as the elbow where they are permitted to fall unfastened and being cut with a circular sweep give the suggestion of a palm leaf fan. A skirt of about two yards and a half in width is gathered on to the waist which is cut sufficiently long to fall a little below the average natural waist line. Motifs made of dark ' paisley silk and fancy braid trims the 1 skirt, sleeves and the collar. The size of each motif is determined by the ' place on the frock which it decorates. ' Moire ribbon about number five width J is laid loosely around the waist at the normal waist line and from the left shoulder two long ends of the ribbon are suspended from a small bow. Another model from the work room ( of the same firm, which is more ; adapted to the fuller developed figure, j is also fashioned of poiret twill. Instead of motifs its trimming is of 1 <vl.inA nrnKmiHarioo nn filflTtS lliaviltUC ciuuiviuouve uu kuv v.... | , and the sleeves of bright red, green, < rich sailor blue and white threads. ' The blouse is finished v*th a small ] collar which may lay flat or made to ' stand and is fastened down the left 3 side front from the neck down as far where the blouse joins the skirt with ^ small black bone buttons a little larger than a ten cent piece set as ' close to-gether as possible. The sleeves fit into the armholes without 1 any fullness and are rather wide at the wrists where they are finished ^ with embroidery. The yard and half 1 'wide skirt is trimmed with a wide panel of embroidery both front and a girdle of green Tvooden beads adds the desired touch. In the velvet models the keynote is simplicity. The waists as a rule ( are variations of the basque and are ! joined either to a rather full gathered skirt or a circular one made to dip ( on both hip lines. A narrow girdle of silver or gold cloth is used to re lieve the somberness of the dark color Couldn't Fool Her. . < T"* ~ i j Vtn/3 maf incf o STUUI" U1U J U.'ICS uau juot c* iv ?? old college friends, and wending his uncertain way homeward, he ponder- < ed ways of concealing his condition : from his wife. 1 "I'll go home and read," he decided "Who ever heard of a drunken man reading a book?"

YE FARME GOSSIPE Farmers who cooperate don't wait for their ship to come in; they row out to meet it. A good farmer looks upon his land as a building lot, not a mining property. Selling hogs and buying pork may be profitable, but not for the farmer who sells the hogs. A sermon in eight words: "Our cows died, and then our children died." Nearly one-third of the people gainfully employed in agriculture prormlv nne-fifth of the national income. What's the answer? A tip on burning- cotton stalks: An acre of cotton stalks is worth $10.00 or $12.00 for humus and fertilizer. If one farmer in a community wants to raise sheep and his neighbors want to raise dogs, now many sheep will be raised? Another good effect of boll weevil damage: The farmer who has to cheat the weevil to make cotton will take better care of it and market it to better advanage. What is a rural community? A region of common interests in which people can he brought together into community organizations to work out their own problems. A farmer dub who buys a scrub Gets nothing for his mon. Let's, go inquire for a purebred sire, And put our luck in one. rMt'lVKS UA SUtlttHiliA A canvass, which was made in the spring- of 1921 among 648 tractor owners in Alabama, Georgia," North and South Carolina, and Tennessee, all of whom had bought their tractors new between March, 1918, and September, 1920, indicates that tractors can ' be used profitably on many southern farms. The results of the inquiry are given in Farmers Bulletin 1278, Tractors on Southern Farms. The bulletin is designed to be of service to southern farmers who are contemplating the purchase of tracors. The experience of present owners is summarized with reference to the advantages and disadvantages in their use; the size now used on farms of varying acreage and the sizes they believe would be the most suitable for their conditions; / estimates of the probable life of their tractors, cost of operating; the kind, quality, and quantity of work, as well as other related information. A noticeable feature concerning the farms reporting is their large size as compared with other farms in the same state, more than 90 percent of them being larger than the average for that section. The average size of the 684 farms is 290 acres, while the 1920 census gives the average size of all farms in these states as about 75 acres. As would be expected, corn and cotton are the principal crops. Most of the tractors reported on were pullTng either two of three plowrs. Of the total number, 2 percent were one-plow size, 76 percent vere two-plow, 20 percent were threeclow, and 2 per cent were four-plow, rho size of tractor that they believe best for their conditions was reported by 611 of the owners. Two percent of this number preferred >he cne-plow size, 66 percent the twoclow, 29 percent the three-plow, and 3 percent favored the four-plow or larger. The saving of time and labor made possible by the use of the tractor a'as given by nearly half the owners is their answer to the question of vhat they considered its greatest ad vantage. Other replies were better work, relieving the horses of hard labor,* reduction of expenses, and the oest work possible. "WHY I GO TO CHURCH" By John Wanamaker You might just as pertinently inquire "Why do I eat?" or "Why do I sleep?"?because I find one is just as necessary to my well-being as the other. I could eat well and sleep well, and yret be a very miserable man without the spiritual uplift that only comes from an attendance upon the Divine ordinances. Then again, it is a great privilege i- x .i 1 J ?v. i."u^ of honesty and faithfulness, he may be caught by the sudden wind of plausible opportunity and tumble over the precipice and be ruinecj. Increase the production of feed stuffs. Raise more and better cattle, hogs and sheep and "boll weevillism'' will finally cease to be an interesting subject. PROBATE JUDGE SALE.
