It has no courthouse or city hall, no ordinances, no police force. When taxes fall due, the collector has only to go to Robert E.

Wilson writes the check, covering all of the land and physical assets In s town of 1,800 population and enough of the surrounding farm and lumber country to total more than 40,000 acres of territory, said to be rivaled In productiveness only by the valley of the Nile.

There can be no undesirable ci tit en s because Wilson, who owns all the houses, will not rent home* to undesirable* Homes Are Modern. Everybody in Wilson Is a renter Even the one man who otrns and runs the town writes a check, payable to himself, every month for $45. That Is the highest rent paid, and only two other citizens pay that much. Other tenants pay $12.50 to $27J}0 a month, with a few exceptions, where the rentals are $90 to $40. Every home In Wilson, whether It ts a three-room cottage or a mansion. Is equipped with electric lights, tub and shower bath* hot and cold water, telephone, hedge, flower garden, trade patch, and chicken yard. Wilson has industries that represent a total Investment of $1,000,000. These produce annually nearly $2,000,000 worth of manufactured hardwood lumber, ginned cotton, flour meal, and mixed feed. The raw material for these products comes from a 40,00<>-acre tract of cultivated and timbered land, all owned by Wilson. The principal agricultural products are cotton, corn, wheat and alfalfa. Wilson's 18 cotton plantations, with a total area of 8,000 acres, will produce this year 0.600 bales of cotton. Corn was harvested from 6,000 acres, wheat from 1,200 acres, and alfalfa from 800 acres. The farm is so big that Wilson* employs his own agricultural expert and a general plantation manager who has supervision over 18 zone managers. Qot Start In 8awmllL There ts no season of idleness In the town. When the harvest Is over, thS farmhands are put to clearing land or working in the logging and timber industry. Wilson is now reputed to have a fortune of more than $10,000,000. He began operations with a small sawmill on the site of the town which bears his name. With the profits from the sawmill he bought up land a parcel at a time Now, at fifty-seven years old, he owns timbered and cultivated land enough to make a fair-sized county.

In which the males considerably outnumber the females, Is found mainly In the cltle* The sex r~*<o of farm population on January 1, 1920, was 109.1 males to 100 female* while the ratio for the entire population was 104 males to 100 female* Of the number of farm dweller* totaling 81,614,268, males number 16, 496.3S8 and female* 15.117.931.

Includes a relatively large proportion of persons under twenty-one and a rein tlvely small proportion twenty-one years and over. The difference la age distribution la declared by the census bureau to be due largely to the fact that the majority of persons who leave the farm to take up their residence elsewhere have reached twenty-one. i x-1- mni >i '- <3• |• c"'-' Anniversary of Russ Revolution Celebrated With tanfea, annoyed motorcars, field howitzer* and inn ny other "war instruments," Moscow celebrated a rather peaceful anniversary of the famous ivw^iutiuu wbJcb overthrew the puwtr of the czar.

Waists are long and fitted, skirts are long and full. «We are forced to forget., ss we look st them, the way they protested at the thought of new styles, saying they never would give up short skirts and the easy, comfortable fashions to which they had become so accustomed. After their one long, concentrated protest they have yielded so sweetly that they never could be suspected of having been temperamental. They have the look of having brought about this change themselves, of having organized to do It. Perhape that is so in truth, considering their desire to always look their best. Isn't It much more Interesting to be different In the end? That, at least, Is the way women have argued since the beginning of time, and there seems no Immediate danger that they will go back on their traditions. Dress of Black Satin. At one restaurant the other evening there was a dress made of black satin, most lovely to behold. The waist was fitted into the figure In a charming manner, there was plenty of fullness at the sides of the skirt, and the front and sides were left plain. Directly in front, where the circular skirt joined the waist, there was a long medallion of brilliantly colored bead* That was all the trimming for the gown, but the sleeves were long and tight with flaring cuffs which extended in fanlike arrangement over the hands. These cuffs, to add another touch of brilliance, were lined with a flaming red chiffon. That Is-ait example of many of the newer dresses built for semi-dress wear and designed. Cuffs are distinguishing features of the newer frocks. They are Just the little touch that brings the designs Into a modern atmosphere and add to the general change that is* evident throughout the array of dresse* Someone has asked what becomes of them under a coat. When It Is remembered that the sleeves of most of the coats are quite as flaring as the sleeves of the dresses, the problem has solved Itself. One girl tad * black velvet drees trimmed with bands of gray moufflon fur. The cuffs were cones coming down over he* hands until, at times, no hsnds were visible. The cuffs' showed linings of silver cloth and edges of the soft, gray for. When the dress was tucked under the covering leyer of a warm caracul wrap the fuzzy gray fur came just enough below the edge of the black fur coat to look as though this softness of lining had been added to the sleeve e( the coat. Fur for Trimming* • Gray fur Is Invaluable for trimming. On many of the newer frocks It makes Its appearance In the smartest manner. And It has that air of being the thing to do. It "snaps up" a dark dress remarkably. It brings a coat out of the ordinary run and even on evening dresses it has a distinctive place that makes known the gown's claim to smart society. Gray fur combined with silver cloth is a success, especially when the combination Is poeed against a black surface. Another suit, of black silk duvettMt has all of the grkce and softness which that sort of material can give to a suit The lines are graceful and becoming, to begin with, and when the artistically arranged bands of gray astrakhan were added the original charm of the cut was accentuated. The coat of this street suit has that long-waisted effect which seems to be inevitable, emphasized by a tight band of a belt edged at top and bottom with the fur. The tight collar bugs about the throat and the little bands of fur are arranged in designs at the sides of the skirt and also used for an edging along the uneven skirt line. The little hat that caps the climax is made of the same fur. It is nothing but the tightest of Uttle turbans wltn a wide band for a brim and a snug little round section for a crown. Altogether this suit makes a becoming winter garment, extremely dressy, designed for wear at afternoon receptions and other sorts of daytime affairs where more than the usual plain suit Is needed. It takes the place of a dress and constitutes a wrap at the same time, in this way compensating for its rather more lavish appearance The coat is an example of many made along these lines and worn with more and more zeal as the days go by. Practical women who are always find Ing fault with the serviceability of their clothes, are murmuring that, perhaps, these garments will not be any too warm, but the fact Is they are warm enough for the usual occasion-- warmer than a coat suit. It was interesting to see Just bow smart the short coats looked. There could be no better choice for the woman to w&om that sort of coat is becoming. Short women, as a rule, do not look so well Id the short coat as the taller, more statuesque women, who have the lines to withstand that cutting off of the figure which the shorter Jacket naturally brings In Its wake. However, when the Jacket and skirt are of one and the same color, tbey can be more readily conformed to the lines of the shorter stature, even when the figure Is inclined to be plump. i'^ ; vil.. j - * *-. ^ m-. • v • •fS.-*. *• ,-y*ai ' IT ^ ^' John T.

Draping b Very Popular •- ."fend still more draping, Is the order of the day. Morning dresses are draped aa well as the afternoon sort, and for evening there Is nothing but drapery. It is Impressive to see how many ways there are of arranging the drapings for different types of women. And it is no teas Impressive to see how many women are adopting these clothes to their own particular styles. The draped gown Is one of the really beautiful evening frocks of the season. It Is of black velvet, but any color of velvet or brocade would lend |twlf fM iDoklns of thin »»»wn in a more than usually Interesting manner. The only trimming is that band of handsome, wide gold lace swung across the shoulders and Interrupted only by fall of draping over the left slioulder. This Is one of the gowns draped differently-on each side. For that matter. most of them are done in this way, for it is the divergence of line which helps to make a gown beautiful and tp bring it into line with the general run of thle season's styles. The folds of fabric are handku st the Sack In an unusually Interesting way, giving a grace to that portion of the figure which Is not always Its share. Draped dresses for daytime wear are particularly lovely and different from those we have been having. There Is the inevitable* one-pleoe frock which, this season, Is cuught Into a thick bunch over one hip and drapes away from that point to the floor. - The frock, for the rest of Its design, has nothing but plain and almost fitted line* The fitting of this season largely depends on the tendency of the stuff to follow the lines of the figure with precision. The frocks do not In any way look tight, but they have that looseness just enough confined to make them appear trig and well studied. Although trimmings are not, as a rule, scattered lavishly over the modern garments they nevertheless are far more in evidence than in some year* These trimmings are handsome and take a prominent place in the scheme of things. (Ff»p*rtt br Um United 8t«Ua D«p*rtm«M of Agriculture.) Thrashed spring wheat usually contains much foreign material, consisting almost entirely of noxious weed seeds. Investigations conducted by R. H. Block and C. R. Haller of the bureau of agricultural economics, United States Department of Agriculture, show that in the 1920-21 crop there was approximately one bushel of foreign material, or "dockage," in every 22 bushels of spring wheat thrashed. This represents over 9,500,000 bushels of dockag^ for the spring wheat crop. More than* 200 kinds of weed seeds are fouird in spring wheat, but less than 20 of these appear commonly. The foreign seeds most commonly found In the department's investigation* named In the order of their frequency, were wild oat* wild buckwheat, cultivated oat* mustard, lamb's-quarter, barley, green foxtail, hare's-ear mustard, flax, rye, cow cockle, pigweed, yellow foxtail, sunflower, corn cockle, wild rose, kinghead, and wild pea (vetch). Wild oats appeared In over 99.0 per cent of the lots of wheat examined. Grain Inspection statistics show that the percentage of dockage found In spring wheat is gradually Increasing. Several factors tend to increase the foreign material In spring wheat, the more important of which are the sowing of wheat on land that Is already foul with weed seeds, and the use of seed wheat contaminated with weed seeds. Both of these practices are common in the main spring wheat area. Foreign material In wheat Is objectionable because it Is an economic waste, says the department. The growing of weed seeds with the wheat reduces the yield of wheat and Increases the cost of harvesting and thrashing. Foreign material occupies valuable space in wagons and freight cars in country and terminal elevatorp and mill* and it often has a bad effect on the milling and baking qualities of the wheat. That clean seed combined with good cultural methods will produce clean wheat Is being demonstrated constantly on many farm* and that the marketing of only clean wheat Is profitable, there can be no doubt. The farm Is the logical place to clean wheat, preferably as part of the thrashing operation. When the cleanwheat will bring a better price on the market, the freight on the dockage Will be saved, and the screenings will be available for feed, and when finally ground can be substituted for the higher priced feeds, such as oat* corn, and' commercial mill feed* Two methods of cleaning wheat am common. One method uses sieves and Sir blasts for separating the foreign material from the wheat, and the other method separates the grain sccord- " Ing to the size and shape of the kernels. The former method Is used iBr^ the general-purpose cleaning machines such as fanning - mills and receiving; separators, and the latter method ls^ used in machines designed to makespecial separations, such as cockle cylinder* ring graders, and disk chines.

There has been considerable break-: ing away from old notions In thai matter of seeding for pastures and meadows, and in many instances with very conspicuous success. Clovers are subject to so many vicissitudes that good stands are no longer obtainable: on many farm* On the other hand^ just those conditions which may be adverse to clovers may be very favorable to certain kinds of grasses, and this has led to the sowing of mixtures of several clovers and grassea, in which grasses predominate. The common notion Is that clover and timothy is the only useful mixture, but clover quickly disappears and: timothy does not furnish much aftermath, and consequently does not sup-, ply pasturage for any great length time. With a rich mixture of alfalffe, r red and nl^ike clover, timothy, red top,, orchard grass and some of the fescues,, a lasting, nutritious growth Is obtained and as the clovers disappear these finer grasses come in and a durable and palatable pasture is ss* < *ur$d *ii through the season. . : , • Rid Hoge of Pests. ; Dipping the hogs In a concrete Tmu% filled with an insectlcldal solution ist the only sure way to rid the auimalat ing Is doae on the farm, the' cleaned of lice, Bess, and mange. ..('Wiii'n' TOAD USEFUL IN CURBING Little Creatures Not of Great |oonomic Importance. ..... - Lace for Trimming.

To ascertain the facts in the case the biological survey of the United States Department of Agriculture has analyzed the contents of the stomachs of 502 common toad* and reports that while the findings regarding the choice of food are of interest they thus far fail to demonstrate that toads are of great economic importance Toads go constantly about their own work of gaining a livelihood, and so undoubtedly fill their proper place in nature.
