The United States Investor has this
suggestion on the subject that is now
uppermost in the public mind: “One
fact is of special interest in connection
with the recent crop news: in certain
sections where artificial irrigation has
been adopted the damage to the crop
has been comparatively slight. This
season, in fact, has probably been the
best test of artificial irrigation on record.
The lesson is one which must enforce
itself on every intelligent mind. As the
west becomes richer and the farmers
more forehanded, the development of
irrigation schemes will undoubtedly be
greatly accelerated. This is an end to
be desired, not only because the farmer
will be thereby guaranteed more uniform
crops, but because, also, gambling in
cereals will be divested of a large part of
its attractiveness by reason of the greater
certainty regarding the outcome of each
year’s harvest.”

SOMETHING VERY INTERESTING
To the Head of the Family from the
McCook Mercantile Co.

received a full line of Hats and Caps,and
an excellent asssortment of Men’s and
Boys’ Clothing on which prices will be
made to suit the times. Also another
car load of that White Bread Hebron
Flour, which is as good as any 90 cent
flour sold in this locality, which they
will sell for 75 cents: they guarantee this
flour; try it and be convinced of its good
qualities, and save 50 cents a hundred

expenses these hard times.
White for Autumn.
With the coming of cool Autumn days
white will still be worn, the serge and
duck tailor gowns being so popular that
they will not be relegated to the closet
till dreary skies are over us. The white
crepon house gowns, some of which are
very handsome, will continue to be used
all the year, and no prettier fabric can
be selected for simple home evening
gowns. Next in choice to the whites—
both pearl and ivory—are the delicate
colors, silver gray, mastic, blue grav, tan
and old rose. Thevare simplv fashioned,
. |
with plain full skirts—perhaps a single
row of narrow moire ribbon round the
bottom, but on plain and full waists. A
ribbon girdle and stock collar of becom
ing color is all the trimming.—From

azine for September.
