The-plaited skirt is rapidly disap
pearing. .New designs are' cut circular
and circularly gored. As for the trim
ming, the bias folds are disappearing
with the plaits' and circular folds arc
taking -their place. This change is
most'Tomarked in the walking cos
tume. which for so many- seasons has
been modeled on the plaited style
with little or "no variation other thare
in the groxipi'ng of .the -plaits and the
width ot the bias bands.- Skirts -are.

HE REALIZED $18 PER ACRE FROM

. $17 AN ACRE.". ' ..V
- "tfoose.Jaw.Saslt, Nov. 18th", 1907.'
Writing from Moose Jaw; Saskatche
wan, -Mr. S. K. JRath wall , says:
-."I -have much pleasure .in saying
'that on my farm this year. I had. '500
acres 'in wheat, and 120 acres in oats.
My wheat averaged about -22 bushels
. per acre, and had 200. acres cut- be
fore the . .frost, . wirich I sold, at 85"
cents per, -.bushel, thus 'realizing on'
that 'wheat $18.00 per. acre, not count
jng .cost-of '.twine seed and lahor. With
-regard to. the other 300 acres of wheat,
it got touched' with frost but Is worth"
-60 cents per .bushel. It will net me
$13.00 per acre, but I do not intend
to. sell it" at. that price, as I can make
'."more money by feeding it to hogs. '
; "My "oats turned out about 50 bushels
.to"jthe"acre,""an"d at 35 cents per-bushel
"will give -pie" $17.00 ta the. acre, pot
counting "seed. twine and labor.
. "ub.. account ot tne late spring, a.
percentage of the. grain was touched
with ; frost, but on' account of good
prices, farmers . will realize a fair
profit on their-.farms even this year.
Ve Jare .asv.usual up against a short
age -of cars to get our grjiin. removed."
PROBABLY HE WAS.'
.Doctor an't you put your tongue'
but a little further, Mrs. Mugg?
Mrs.. Mugg rAre you one of those
people, 'doctor, who believe that there

hwW TO. APPLY PAINT.
Greatest care should be taken when
painting' buildings or implements
which, are exposed to the weather, to
have the-.'paint- applied' properly. ISo
excellence of material can make up
for carelessness of' application, any
,more than care in applying it can
make poor paint wear -well.
... The surface' to be" painted should be
.dry- and 'scraped and sandpapered
hard and smooth. Pure white lead
"should he" mixed with, pure linseed oil,
fresh for the job, and should be well
brushed- out," not flowed oh thick.
AVhen" painting Js done in this manner
with "National Lead Company's pure,
white Jead". (trade marked with "The
Dutch Boy Painter") there Is- every
chance that, the job will be satisfac-
tory. White-' lead Is "capable of ab-'
solute test for "purity. National Lead
Company, Wopdbridge. Building, New,
Yprk, will' send a-" testing outfit free to'
any one interested.- - . -
;.;'' Leads' Them All.
, An-instructor jnvthe JJUlitary Acad
emy, at West Point, was once assigned
tb' conduct about the place the visit
ing parents pf "a certain cadet.
"After, a tour of the post, .the proud
and happy 'parents joined the crowd
assembled to witness evening parade,
a. most imposing spectacle. The
march past aroused the father of the
cadet to .a. high pitch of enthusiasm.
"There!" be ' exclaimed, turning to
his spouse. "Isn't that, fine?" But," he,
added, respectively. "I shall not be.
happy till my boy attains the proud
position that leads 'em all." And he
pointed in rapt admiration to the
drum-major. Illustrated Sunday
Magazine.
The extraordinary popularity of fine
white goods this summer makes the
choice of. Starch' a matter of great im
portance.. Defiance Starch, being free
from all injurious chemicals, is. the
only one -which Is safe to use on fine
fabrics. Its great strength as a stiffen
er make's half the usual 'quantity o
Starch necessary, with the result of
perfect finish, equal to that when 'the
goods were new.
.. Evidently Strange.
"A gentleman to see you, sir." anr

anything like me?"
"ifo, sir not at all. He is very gen
tlemanly in appearance."
