One way of economizing tn dMflt » t*7 giving thought to our selection Ito tbe first place and choosing a style fltMct we can easily change. The Idea «f making a dress over from one fashion to another is typically English. tSros it is quite easy to understand Mty natty English novelists have ireseed their heroines from trunks in 8» famHy garret. One can imagine thai no dross Is ever thrown away by fB RngTUftrwoman, for she expects fttat €&Omt she or some of Her 4s> •ceodKnts will wear It Io decided contrast to ptrrs, the Parlslenne who makes any pretense of being smart would not wear a second season dress. Whe>reas, the Englishwoman wears her clothes year after year because they are good clothes and becoming to her, the French woman has absolutely the dress of the hour, which Is always a model or a copy of one from a well known firm and which bears the cachet of the best designer's approval for the mom* nt. The *trsrt Parisienne wears this dress almost continuously for a short period. Then she is never seen In it again but takes up the next smart thing. The Englishwoman during the same period will wear a different dress every day and will keep on wearing this same dress intermittently for a period of months. The American woman makes a happy compromise between the two. For Summery Dresses. A great manr of this summer's dresses show a combination of two materials. There Is more back of this !dea than plight appear on the surface, for such a frock needs very lit tie In the way of trimming. As it is always easier to visualize a frock with Some definite color In mind, would suggest a slip of white Swiss dotted in soft blue, with a narrow sash and a long collar of plain white organdie continuing to the bottom of the skirt. Or the entire dress may be of bright red Swiss, with white dots and a long white organdie collar caught lir at the belt and under the hem of the skirt. A hat of peanut straw, bright red In color, the brim bound with white organdie and the crown swathed with a scarf of the same material, may complete the costume. Or the straw crown may be removed and one of whit* organdie substituted. Another pretty effect fts achieved through using two different materials for a frock by making a plain foundation drees, consisting of straight gathered skirt and simple bodice of white organdie. Over the skirt Is placed a side plaited tunic of coral colored Swiss, which Is open 4t the front, and a coral overwalst almost like a bolero. The latter Is gathered at the waistline and opens at the front so that a wide white panel Is revealed from the neckline to the hem. Still more color is Introduced by a sash of Inch-wide grosgrain ribbon of real ocean blue. You may like to work out this model in beige Swiss over white, with a navy •ash, or tn lavender and white, with a green sash. For the Slender Woman. Young girls like frills. So, for the slender young woman the frock In bright colored Swiss organdie Is evolved. The hues In which the organdies may be had are ravishing. For instance, there are various flame shades, and as the material is thin a pretty effect is attained by making one shade over another. That is, if a light flame color Is chosen the slip may be a bright red. Two pastel shades, such as pale green over a soft blue, give a lovely effect. Browa over coral and brown over yellow are suggested as combinations. All the frills are plcot edged, so It Is not such a task to make this frock as one would suppose. If one wishes, the flchu may be of white organdie for becomlngness, although a smarter effect is attained by making It the same color as the dress. Since organdie Is distinctly a hot weather material, still another model evolved from it is of a very soft green. Just a bit lighter than the shade known as jade. It has an apron skirt A very fine old-fashioned looking white braid and a white sash make the trimming. mmduM' NtHNi English Sateens Again in Vogue There was a time when we would have scoffed at the idea of wearing a feteem dress. Now dresses of Eng- B*b sateens are quite In the mode. It |§ aura ring the beauty certain materials acquire directly they become feribfcmabfe. We might all become Style creators if we had the courage to buy materials when they are not popular and make frocks so pretty Stat everybody would want to copy ttoem. Of course, when a material snob as sateen becomes fashionable its Bakers give more attention to bringing cat pretty patterns. The sateens tt this season look like foulards. There •re some with white backgrounds and Snail conventional designs in bright red* and blues, with here and there • dauft of blade, that are charming. Sheo, there is a brown sateen, with • conventional design In white, with accents of black, that Is smart. 2>cslgn Adapted to English Print*. In a model of English sateen the ftkekground at die material Is white •lid the little spots are bright red outlined with black. The sash and !• trimmings are of organdie. This design adapts Itself quite as well to English prints of small pattern. A print with a deep green background and a design in black and white makes a pretty frock of this type. In fact. It is a model that lends itself to many materials. A pink and white checked gingham made after this fashion and trimmed with white organdie makes a pretty country frock. Wax Porch Floor*. ' Aoroughly scrub the porch floors and when dry have them waxed with any of the good floor waxes. After this treatment the floors should be polished with a polishing brush Just as one would do In polishing hardwood floors. This method preserves the floor, and after the porch Is treated In this manner one doee not have to put water on it during the entire season. Have the porch gone over dally with a broom or a floor mop. Much time is saved thus in hot weather, and a porch treated In this manner always looks well. New Trimming Charming i^Y Bach Frock Has Doooratlone of Its Own, Adding Distinction and Originality. ....•"The change in trimmings Is one of fee most interesting developments In fashions, observes a fashion critic. The beauty and simplicity of present-day trimmings are charming, compared to the heavy, cumbersome types used a few years ago. This shows how inventive makers at clothes have be- .While the shortage of materials has * had a great many undesirable effects, such as raising the prices of clothing, a great amount of good has come out of It We are inclined to think of such a situation from the dark side only. The simplest sort of materials hitherto unthought of have been made into garnitures infinitely more attractive than the clumsy, expensive ones of bygone days. Now each frock has a trimming of Ma qsil which mafcy It distinctive anil > •> "? - - original. The humblest materials are used In most original ways. This Is a far cry from the days when one went to the trimming counter and bought staple trimmings by the yard. All sorts of interesting things are done with cotton materials. Nothing could be simpler than braiding strands of organdie loosely and using them to border a ping satin negligee and to finish the sleeves, as well as for a girdle. Coarse net Is also braidec to make such a trimming. Bright colored wooden beads are strung on the strands before they are braided to introduce a bit of unusual color. Ribbons, too, are braided. Sometimes three different colors are plaited Into a lo-se strand. • Type of Volunteer "Shock Troops" That Heipad the Farmer Hold the tin* in 101& With a shortage of farm labor, as scute this year as In the critical war year of 1918, threatening a curtailment of food production on the farms, especially at the trying season of harvesting, the United States department of agriculture Is endeavoring to stir up the Interest of city men in spending their vacations In the fields, particularly as harvest helpers. Everyone remembers the now famous "shock troops" of the war years, who went Into the harvest fields of Kansas and other large wheat-producing states and lent a hand at gathering in the nation's bread supply. They Included men in many walks of life--college students and city men. Including bankers, lawyers, doctors, clerks and state and city officials. These veterans, together with other volunteers to swetf the rank^ are urged to mobilise again this year to help relieve the present shortage and so aid In combating high costs of food products. Rendered Good Service In 1111 In making this appeal it is recognized that, at the outset at least such labor Is not as efficient as experienced farm labor, but the excellent results secured In 1918, when city men In large numbers came to the aid of the farmers leave no doubt as to the success of the present canvass If the men respond. * The present labor shortage has arisen In spite of the fact that farm wagee are 15 to 25 per cent higher than last year. The situation, unremedied, cannot fall to have an unfavorable effect on production, according to observers of the department, who will tend, they say, to prevent any duction In the prices of farm products. While the total acreage undoubtedly has been reduced as a result of the preseut situation, it Is not lb so large proportion as the reduction In the labor supply, because the farmers with their families exerted themselves to the utmost to o^rcome the handicap. Cultivation this year was less intensive than formerly. More land was put into grass and such crops as required a minimum of labor, and the tilled fields consequently suffered. Grain States Need Help. From many of the harvest centers are coming appeals for help. In some of the big grain-producing states of the West, such as Idaho and Nebraska, the demand for labor for planting the crops and tending them was fairly well met Harvesting and thrashing, however, means more help, and it Is this that the farmers In these areas are worrying about Help must come from the cities, and It is to arouse the Interest of city men and obtain their aid that the department and other agencies of the government and the states are directing their efforts. Persons who are desirous of responding to the appeal should get In touch with directors of agricultural extension at the colleges In the various states. These directors are prepared to supply the names of county agents having farmers in their respective counties who need farm labor. By this means anyone wishing to help can get In dlre<4 communication with the farmer. In the grain-producing states local employment headquarters are esare watching the condition closely. It tabllshed at various centers. CO-OPERATIVE HOUSES ON BUSINESS LINES Quite Necessary to Secure the Greatest Results. „ Backless Gown Taboo. tbo backless evening gown la almost taboo, the tendency being to bring out clothes that may. be won f xpwfW of - Bureau of Marfcett Cfte Two Instances to Substantiate Assertion That Each Member Must Be on Equal Footing. To secure the greatest results, nooperative marketing enterprises must he organized and operated along sound business lines, say experts of the bureau of markets, United States department of agriculture, who cite two Instances to prove their point. A sweet potato co-operative marketing association was formed In a New Mexico county that boasted of seven sweet potato warehouses. Six of these warehouses were Ignored in organizing the association. The owner of the seventh warehouse was permitted to hold 51 per cent of the stock. With such a monopoly, this gentleman «as able to control the business of the association, with the result that all the sweet potatoes were stored in his warehouse, and the other warehousemen faced the threat of being driven out of business. However, the seventh warehouse owner was finally made to see the error of his ways, and through the assistance of the field marketing agent of the United States department of agriculture the association has been reorganized upon a truly co-operative basis. In the adjoining county were two men who had made a considerable fortune in sweet potatoes, largely through their ability to store their potatoes In their own warehouses. The other sweet potato growers were able barely to eke out a small profit because they were compelled to sell their produce Immediately. The two warehousemen finally were prevailed upon to interest themselves In the formation of a cooperative association. The association was thereby enabled to negotiate a loan from the bank for the construction of a warehouse to take care of the pooled produce. This was such an encouragement to the farmers that It was soon necessary to construct another building because of a considerable increase In crops. The two leading sweet potato men In this association did not hold a majority of the stock. The organization Is a co-operative one in the full meaning of the word. Each member is on an equal footing with every other member. At a recent meeting of the association It was .announced that through the combined efforts of the farmers $40,000 in additional profits has been secured, with all the seed sweet potatoes yet to be sold.

The old system of 'basing the price at which wheat or other grnin was bought from the farmer upon the average quality of the crop in any community or section was totally unfair to the producer of good grain. Under the "mine-run" basis of purchasing grain the producer of good grain received no more for his clean, heavy wheat than did the producer of light weight and otherwise Inferior grain. Instead of a premium upon heavy grain, a premium was paid upon Inferior products. The application of federal grain standards Is calculated to prevent such Inequality, and as experience is being had under the grading system growers are finding that the purpose sought is being accomplished.

How much more does it cost to grow an acre of corn than to grow an acre of oats? To get a proper con> parison it Is necessary to take an lljr lustration from a farm on which botjl crops are grown successfully. An exv ample has Just been brought to the writer's attention of the comparative cost of growing corn and oats on t Minnesota farm. It is furnished by Albert Inmer, a well-known farmer in Cottonwood county, Minn., In an article which appeared In the Cottonwood Citizen. Mr. Inmer says: *1 had a curiosity to know bow much It would cost to raise an acre of oats and corn. To find out I kept account during the year, of the time required and the cash expended CO grow the above mentioned crops." His figures show that It cost him $31.49 to grow an acre of . corn and $18.131-3 to grow an acre of oats, or a difference of $13.00 an acre In favor of oats. v Provided the respective crop yields are not altogether out of proportion to the cost of growing the crop, this seems to be a good argument In favor of growing oats. But to grow oats successfully It Is not necessary to use $150 or $200 land. In western Canada some of the best oat-growing land io the world can be bought for about $20 an acre. On this land good yields and a high quality of grain is obtainable. Fifty to sixty bushels to the acre In properly prepared land is a fal* average yield for oats In western Can* ada In a normal season but yields ofs up to 100 bushels, and even more, to the acre have been frequent In good years. The quality of oats grown In' western Canada Is attested by the fact that at all the International exhibitions for many years past oats grown In western Canada have been award ed the leading prises. There is on' record oats grown In western Canada that have weighed as much as 4$ pounds to the measured bushel, a net the dominion grain inspector Is author*; lty for the statement that 85 per cent of the oats examined by him in western Canada weigh more than 42 pounds to the measured busheL The standard weight for a bushel of oats is ?4 pounds.
