The bonnet, observes a fashion writer In the New York Times, has been Important since the time when headgear became a part of woman's dress. From the Highlander's covering, so described, to the suave and dashing hats of Gainsborough's creating is a far cry. Many tearful and wonderful things were fashioned In that interim. Those were the days, first and last, when the picture quality wal of supreme Importance, and milliners made hats according to an ideal, however crude It •teems to us in this day and generation, and with a definite standard of taste and style. Convention was rigorous and imposed limitations, but none that contrasted altogether with the . <hange in fashion that characterizes the latest modes. Nothing but a hat has such possibilities of beauty or the reverse1, of flattery or the most depressing effect. Nothing in the illustrations of old time styles is funnier, from the view point of today's smart styles, than the hat rested high on an eluborate coiffure, like a boat tossed and left upon the rocks. That and the bonnet our grandmothers or our great-grandmothers wore over satiny locks, drawn over the ears, and with wide ribbons tied under the chin, are among the museum treasures of now. Just what the gentlewoman who dressed In tills fashion would have thought of the freakish extremes of the last few years Is not easily imagined. Hat fashion seems to have been i matter of eliminating, of modifying extremes, only to touch, as is usual, the extreme opposite. One year hats grow from the infinitesimal to the ample and then to the enormous. With something Mke Intoxication popular fancy holds to that mode until It Is expressed In cheap adaptations, and then the swing to the other extreme begins* Reversals are accepted, usually, by ®'y ® few. The crowd Invariably Waits to see. Then, when once a mode Is established, the crowd follows the leader blindly, grasping whatever Is •aid to be the latest thing, often oblivious to the requisites of taste and becomingness. Interest In the Cloche. This, doubtless, Is the way In which the cloche came to be. It was the first concession made to otter sacrifice ot the beauty made by the arranging of the hair In ,soft waves and curls, or even In classic lines. There are perhaps those of Berry Wall's regime who could give the date of the poke bonnet which the swagger flapper of today recognized only as a part of the uniform of a benevolent organization. In its sweetest form the poke bonnet, as a fashionable cbapeau, concealed little but the back hair, and greatly enhanced the coquetry of a pretty face. Its successor, the cloche Is not easily accounted for and, try as one may. It •eems quite Impossible to escape from its unflattering shape. A few variants have made their way In the last year as an opening wedge to more lovely things. The uncompromising down brim has been rolled back slightly from the face, disclosing eyebrows and sometimes the fine edge of a marcel or the dip of a curl; and on one side, following the line of a permanent wave over the ear. Only last year were any perceptible changes in millinery seen. Several old favorites were featured--the continental. perennial and unlimited In Its variants; the sailor and other shapes tending to more generous form and wider brim. Trimming was reduced almost to the non-existent point, and aome of the most swagger hats, par* tlcularly the sports shape, were literally unadorned. As s style they haee been so successful, once taste was ad- Justed to them, that the old-fashioned hats on which no vacant space was foond seemed somewhat of a horror. Hat Pins Are Offered. Like everything else that comes to stand for an obvious economy, the ontrimmed hat cheapened, and fashionable milliners found a way to redeem It. Thut brought the hat pin--not the Important utility device that anchored the bonnet to the chignon, but an ornamental pin evolved from the little fastening much used when veils were worn. This pin is still seen In elaborate forms, making a conspicuous ornament that serves as trimmihg on some of the tailored hats, and even on the turbans of metal staffs and satin that are so modish. In the better shops where Parisian novelties are featured, many attractive hat pins are presented. There are countless designs; straight bar* having brilliantly jeweled ends, large arrows of gold and onyx encrusted with brilliants or rhinestones. A bit of Jade in curving line is tipped with brilliants, and countless other novelties are shown In coral, agate, crystal and In the different colored compositions that Imitate almost every jewel, precious and semi-precious. Monotony is never endurable. Designers have with much artistry and quite gradually devised other trimming for the new hats. Novelty feathers, ribbon bands and rosettes, leather straps and buckles have been shown on the successful modes of the season. Flowers have been used with much restraint--usually bat one handsome blossom, or a tight nosegay of conventionalized posies of silk or lacquer, for which there Is now a perfect eraser The most artistic motif In millinery lately Introduced Is that of needlework. Petit-point Is the very newest fancy, and applique, embroidery, stitching ar« all tremendously popular. Introduced In the 8011th. The creation of styles for Palm Beach and the other fashionable southern playgrounds made a market for the very newest Ideas in hats. These express more of art and beauty than anything elae In millinery that has been presented for many a day. They are forerunners of the fashions that frill prevail during the coming spring and summer. The new bats are modish, but not extreme, as compared with the shapes in vogue a year ago. One tendency to the eccentric Is see* In the peaked crown of the fabric hat* a reminder, not altogether charming, of the aborigine contour of head. Some of the most exaggerated in this shape are made of heavy silk cot In four shaped pieces, joined with needlework to form a sharp point at the top and having no other trimming than a narrow band about the bottom of the crown. In some/models an ornamental pin or some soch trifle Is added at one side. The soft felt and straw shape* of this sort have a grotesque treatment. a bow-knot, rosette or bunch of flowers finishing the very tip. Thus far this merry style lacks endorsement among the really smart women, and its vogue is doubtful. Here and there a clever bit of a bat done In this manner Is shown. One in beige-colored felt, soft as suede, has a moderately high crown slightly rounded, the top being entirely covered with a plaque of little flowers In browns and yellows, with a fringe of buds and moss, rather too suggestive of a thatched roof to be taken seriously. The brim of this chic little chapeaii Is narrow and rolls softly away from the face. Another, similar la shape. Is of white felt with a narrow brim band of white ribbon, a large black poppy covering the square top of the crown. LOVE TRIANGLE MAKES FATHER TIME GRQgGY Wife, Aged 99, Hets Husband Arretted, Aided by Daughter, 66. Deg Moines.--A love triangle which makes Father Time look foolish was brought to light In the Municipal court in Des Moines the ofher day. John Diggins, forty-one years old, a husband seemingly caught between tlie devil and the deep blue sea of too much romance, and two flappers whose respective ages range from cradle to the grave, played the principal roles. Diggins was haled into court at thfc Instance of his ninety-nine-year-old wife. Ellen Diggins, and his sixty llx-year-old daughter-in-law, Louise O Brien, on a charge of threatening to commit a public offense after he is alleged to have deserted the two women for a twenty-two-year-old girl whose name was not revealed. He was held for trial and committed to jail In default of $300 bond, where he declares he will spend his time singing tlie "Too Many Mamma Blues.", Ninety-Mine and Bobbed.' Still vigorous despite her ninety-nine years, Mrs. Diggins violently shook her bobbed gray locks when asked if she still loved her errant husband. "I am' through with him." she declared. "There are plenty more men In the world." Diggins admitted at the city jail that he had been "driven to drinking canned heat" through the Intensity of his emo- Hog Sanitation • V ° . : . --Wv/ • v; .. Industry Undergoing One of Most Important Improvements to Stop Disease. Needlework Plays a Large Part in Hats JNeedlework distinguishes the newest 9M>del8 in hats, placing some of them almost among the fine arts. At least they are original and Intriguing to the last degree. Nothing shown among the advance styles has more distinction than a model in a pliable narrow braid cleverly woven with angora wool, the long hairs making a shaggy surface. About the crown Is appllqued a pattern of thistles and leaves cut from felt In shades of green, sketchy, 'yet boldly effective. Many white hats are shown, of felt mllan, silk and other materials, soma self-trimmed, some having just a band of ribbon, a strap and buckle of leather, or a simple ornament made of ribbon, flowers or feathers done very simply. Grosgrain ribbon, fluted, plaited or made Into stiff rosettes, is considered very smart and Is seen on some Of the models from the best houses. there was a time within the memory of the bonnet artists of today when hats were black, or white or of some quiet shade. Only in demure grays, cafe au lalt, tan or navy blue might onfe express one's preference for color. But this season's styles are running the gamut, and the most vivid colors are shown among the most exclusive styles. The latest shapes are of jade, reseda, apple and every other known variant of green; of petunia, scarlet, fuchsia, vermillion, rust, purple, burnt orange. All white Is more fashionable than It has been for many seasons, and a costume of white from hat to shoes, including every accessory and detail, la the very last Word In style. Among the dressy hats most lovely color harmonies are shown. One of Neapolitan braid has a crown of pale lemon, shading past the narrow ribbon that marks the diversion Into the brim, deepening to warm tangerine. A hat with generous, slightly drooping brim shades from a crown of pale rose to deep crimson. Aquamarine, violet, salmon and cool lovely shades of green are used In blendlngs and combinations of indescribable variety and of much beauty. Crystal Is Favored for Near-Genuine Jewelry The possibilities of color harmony are shown In a variety of ways in what is known as "fad jewelry." Among the latest fancies in imitation pearl necklaces are the "chokers," In which "pearls" of blue and pink, blue and gold, pink and violet are alternated. These "pearls" are of enormous size, and the effect is both amaslng and chic. More kinds of near-genuine jewelry are made of rock crystal than have ever before been dreamed of. There la a perfect craze for the clear bead necklaces in both the round and the cube cuts; atid color Is introduced with smaller bends of imitation emerald, turquoise, sapphire, topaz, amethyst, making the necklace more brilliant and always more becoming. ,.The very latest necklace novelties have large beads, some of them being huge, and now it Is considered smart to add a pendant of some sort cut from the rock crystal. The genuine Chinese crystal ornaments are, of •course, the most beautiful^and are I unmistakably "reai," with a smooth surface artistically carved: bot these belong on untique chains, or are charming when hung on a ribbon. Earrings In the modern rock crystal are shown In many entertaining designs. some among the latest being so long and so elaborate that the weight of them Is a serious consideration.

He denied, however, the allegations made by his wife and daughter-in-law. He said that he had had nothing to do with other women, but that his wife had often "stepped out" on him. "They don't get too old to run around," he said. A Lass of Ninety-£i*s. There was some divergence In the stories told by Diggins and his wife regarding tiie cruise of the matrimouial bark since their marriage. She stated tliat they became wedded four years ago at the close of a whirlwind courtship when she was but ninety-five years old. This Diggins denies, declaring that the wedding occurred two years ago and that he was forced into the agreement by his wife's son and daughter-in-law. "I never loved her and now I am through with her for good," he declared. , Mrs. Diggins alleges that her husband left her about a month ago, taking a quantity of her clothes and other belongings which he gave to his youthful sweetheart. Diggins said he left because he could no longer stand her abusive treatment of him. "Once she got mad and broke up a brand new cook stove and at another time she had me arrested for shooting firecrackers In nly own house," he said. tron Splinter Drawn From Eye by Magnet Berlin.--An iron splinter, one millimete^ tTrr^ was recently removed from the eye of a locksmith with the aid of a gigantic magnet. The splinter had been in tlie patient's eye for three months before it could be located. Eleven sittings, In each of which the splinter, in a remote corner of the eye, was brought forward a little fartner, were necessary to complete the operation. • Doctor Panderborn, the oculist In charge, was particularly concerned about removing the splinter, as the locksmith had lost one eye 30 years ago through a similar mishap. The experiment with the magnet was regarded as having little prospects, of success, but it seemed to be the only alternative to complete blindness. Costumes for Spring The spring tailored suits are not abbreviated so far as the coats are concerned. Perhaps that is why they call them redingote costumes when a shorter name would do as well. The sleeves are narrow, the lines straight and the lapels rather short. Leopard Trims Hats Among the smartest models ef the season are coats of dull green suede finished wool, with collar And border In leopard skin. These are matched by small hats of green velours with a cocarde made of the fay, Cougar Kills Boy Wenatehee, Wash.--Jimmy Fehlhaoer, thirteen, an orphan of Spokane, was killed by a cougar recently near Brewster when he went to round up some strayed cattle. Parts of the boy's body had been devoured when It was found. His knife; indicating lie had put op a fight, was found in .the brush. • (Fnytrtd kr the united statu D*putnwt of Agriculture.) In the rapid expansion in the use of the system of swine sanitation, commonly known as the McLean county system, the swine industry is now undergoing one of the most Important Improvements In respect to disease prevention since the general adoption of the preventive treatment for hog cholera. Reports from various states in the Central West to the United States Department of Agriculture indicate that this plan, which has for its main object the prevention of the large losses from roundworms aud various filth-borne diseases of young pigs, is being adopted at an increasing rate. Extension forces have been taking up the plan with energy and In many instances swine sanitation has been made one of the major projects for the coming year.. Campaign In loWa. In Iowa, one of the heaviest hogproducing areas, a campaign to extend over a ten-year period has been outlined with the idea ultimately of getting the system generally adopted throughout that state and thereby Increasing efficiency in pork production. Nearly one-half the Counties in Illinois are said to be Included In the coming year's program of work to reduce the ravages of roundworms and filth-borne diseases of swine. Two years ago Nebraska got eight or ten county agents interested In this work and they In turn brought the new system to the attention of many of the progressive hog raisers. Considerable advertising is done through the newspapers, the use of department films, and through the efforts of the department specialist who co-operated In giving talks on sanitation as a means of combating roundworms. In that state the work has been growing steadily and Is continuing to Increase every day. The growing Interest In this Improved system of growing hogs Is Indicated to the Department of Agriculture by the frequency with which county agents are now mentioning it In their reports. In the statements covering the Work for the past year this subject Is mentioned by 350 county agents. This year at the International Live Stock exposition many of the club boys who showed pigs In the competition had raised them according to the McLean county system or had at least adopted the general principles of sanitation. There also has been a great demand for the department film dealing with this problem. The Missouri Agricultural college has recently ordered a third print of it. The states mentioned above are only a few of those In which great Interest Is being taken In the subject. The new plan is being used as far east as Ohio and as far west as Nebraska and the Dakotas and interest in it has been shown In various other parts of the United States. essentials ef Plan. For the benefit of those who are not yet acquainted with the essentials of this new plan it (nay be outlined briefly as follows: The pigs are farrowed tn pens that have been thoroughly cleaned with lye and boiling water, and supplied with clean bedding. The sows before being put in the clean pens for farrowing are scrubbed with soap and warm water to free them of dirt which may contain eggs of roundworms and other germs likely to be abundant in the soil of permanent hog lots. Later the sows and litter are hauled (not driven) to clean pasture, preferably legume pasture, which has not been used for hogs since cultivation. Until they are taken to pasture the sows and pigs are kept strictly In thfeir clean quarters, and until the pigs are at least tour months old they are kep#on pastore entirely away from the permanent hog lot. Pigs started this way are protected from the danger of serious infection with worms and hog-lot diseases and get a strong advantage over those that must take their chances with the ever-present pests. Experience has shown that the practice pays big dividends and the expense is small. • : An Illinois farmer, expressing his vtews as a result of experience with the new system, says: "Rather than go back to former methods, I would quit the business. The practice of the McLean county system at present prices means the difference between profit and loss to the hog raiser. The system gives the little pigs a fine stftrt and keeps them coming in healthy, thrifty condition from the very first, which is most essential, as a poor start means a runty, unprofitable pig later on. Thus I have been able to market my six-months pigs at weights of from 200 to 270 pounds. Under the old system my hogs often did not reach this weight ^as yearlings. By marketing hogs at six months of age I have been able not only to sell on the high September and April markets, but also to raise twice as many pigs with the same amount of equipment. The United States Department of Agriculture has detailed information on this common-sense system of reducing worm losses oh the hog farm of the corn belt. Hog raisers may have It free by writing the department at Washington. Deer on Main Street Captured by Crowd Vancouver, Wash. -- A twopoint buck deer was captured alive on Main street here recentiy- The deer was ambling up the street from the banks of tlie Columbia river when several persons gave chase. He dashed down an alley, entered an abandoned building and leaped through a window, then jumped a high fence and started hack toward the river. The pavement was wet and tlve buck slipped and fell several times, finally crashing into a fence with his horns so entangled that he was held fast. Four soldiers from Vancouver barracks took tlie deer to the reservation. GET FEELING WELL AGAIN Favor Dormant Spraying • Because of Idle Hours • When speaking of pruning, the words "spring pruning" are generally used when "dormant pruning" Is really j meant. Much of this dormant pruning I can be accomplished during the winter 1 months. At this season there Is more slack time in the orchard than at any other. If pruning is left until spring, the rush of spring work often arrives liefore the trees are all worked over in the orchard. The habit of leaving the dormant pruning until early spring, as a rule, results in one of two things, either a continuation of operations long after the sap has begun to move, with consequent poor healing of wounds; or results In unavoidably slipshod work over a large part of the orchard due to a desire ,to finish the pruning and get at other Important seasonal operations. By making a start in the early winter, working on days when climatic conditions are not too severe, the work can be completed early "enough In the season to avoid Interference with early spring duties. Fewer and Better Bulls Help Success of "Dairy The Wayne County (Pa.) Jersey Bull association has a record of accomplishment to which members point with pride. In three years' time tlie butterfat production of the herds In this association increased 47.7 per cent At the same time the milk production went up 13.9 per cent, according to S. J. Brownell, dairy specialist at the Pennsylvania college. Cow testing association records show that the increase in fat production alone meant a profit tif approximately $3,000 per year. Other financial advantages of the bull association were a $2,875 Increase In the Inventory value of herds and a $420 decrease In the investment In bulls. Fewer and better bulls account for the smaller amount now Invested In sires. FORTUNE FOUND IN SHACK OF MISER Profit in Feeding Hie cost of gains alone does not determine profit In cattle feeding. Selling price Is equally Important. Selling price Is determined very largely by finish, hence the problem of the feeder Is to produce as much grain and as rapid gains as possible as cheaply as possible. Most gains cost more than is necessary but on the other hand the cheapesf gains are not necessarily the most profitable. ' This emphasizes the complexity of the cattle feeding business and the absolute necessity of using definite information relative to the comparative feeding value of different feeds and how they may be combine^ to make the most profit in a cattle feeding venture. Insure Good Wool Crop Sheep that are well nourished, all things considered, generally produce a good fleece of wool of good length of fiber and good quality. Inferior quality of wool, however, may be produced from healthy sheep due largely to Improper nourishment. Nature has provided that the sheep shall first supply Its body needs, and second, grow Its wool. Eccentric Recluse Lived Fntfgolly for Year*. broken Bow, Neb.--Officers acting unf| pr orders of the Probate court uncovered a miser's hoard recently when they burned into a small steel safe found among the effects of John W. .Conley, an eccentric character who has llvecf alone for years in a little shack on the outskirts of the city. The exist; ence of the safe had never been disclosed to any of the few who had visited Conley in recent years. No combination was found, and an acetylene torch was applied. In the safe was found $2,000 in gold and $4.- 600 in ragged currency and $500 In Liberty bonds. Conley also left a valuable farm near Anslay and a sevenacre suburban tract adjoining the city. It was while searching for a will that the safe and the money were uncovered. Conley had lived In the county for years, quitting farm life 15 years ago and retiring to a shack. He never bought any luxuries and few necessities. The only time he mingled with his fellows was when taxpaylng time came, and he coold engage in a good grumble. His wife died years ago and the three sons and one daughter long ago left home. The man's shack was filled with books, magazines and newspapers he had collected. The few who ever talked with him found hltn to be a man of unusual learning and well posted on current affairs.

Newton Smith, once prominent in business here, and the faith of his wife that he would come back, are topics of social circles. Smith, a member of one of Maryland's oldest families, disappeared eight years ago when he was president of the Baltimore Badge and Novelty company. A country-wide search proved fruitless. After months hope of his bping alive was abandoned by all except his wife, who relinquished her handsome residence and retired to a small hotel. A few days ago her confidence was rewarded when word came that Smith was on his way back to claim her. They have gone to Detroit to start life again.

Huge Snake as Pet Cannellsville, Pa.--Mrs. Margaret Cecil of Dunbar has a strange taste in pets. In a warm corner of her house lives a boa constrictor 18 feet long and more than a toot In diameter. It inhabits a Stout trunk of lurge size, and Mrs. Cecil keeps the reptile carefully wrapped in warm blankets. Sixteen years ago Mrs. Cecil toured Brazil with a circus. Someone presented her with a constrictor two weeks old. Faithful to her charge, she brought the snake home and raised it. (Prepared br the United Statee Department of A*rl culture.) * Competent authorities in the range states estimate that the condition of tlie native pastures of that area is now only 10 to 50 per cent of their original productivity. This deterioration, says the United States Department of Agriculture, has been largely the result of overstocking. Another resuiyof this condition has been smaller siz^e of cattle even where they are well bred. During periods of^high prices stockmen are tempted to put on more cattle than the range can support without showing the effect^in following years. There is also a tendency to stock heavily when pastures are especially good to recover losses sustained during bad years, with the frequent result that the gamble is carried too far. The conservative cattlemen, says the department, who have developed the Industry to its present high standard and acquired greater success In the range area, have learned to stock their pastures to meet adverse or subnormal years. When very good years come along additional stock is bought and held for a short time to make profit- I able use of the extra grasf . without I taxing the raase too much. Oa the other hand, many stockmen use up too much of the pasture and reduce the vigor of the palatable plants. The department says It is next to Impossible to give definite figures on the carrying capacity of the range. The extremely wide variation is shown by an investigation of a rpnge area in New Mexico where the rainfall was practically the same. Here the acreage varied from 25 to 125 acres per cow per year.
