' % BELTS WORN IN OTHER DAYS Prevailing 8tyle Dates Back to Middle vAjjes, When 8oldier Wore Belt, of Metal Plates. The first belts chronicled In the his­ tory of costume design are recalled by those put forth this season, to meet the demand for belts on suits, belts on dresses, belts for separate skirts, belts for sweaters, belts for every kind of wear, a writer states. While the use and beauty of a band to bind the garments nt the waist was definitely recognized In preceding ages, the his­ tory of belts as articles of wearing ap­ parel is taken by many writers to be­ gin in the old days of "merrie Eng­ land." The soldier of the Middle Ages wore, over his armor, a belt of small metal plates linked with rings. These are duplicated today in metal and leather belts for sweaters. The knights on the Jousting field and in the banquet hall wore leather or velvet belts, richly mounted with carved and ^enamel-inset metal. These have served as models for the bedltened af­ fairs sent forth this spring. LORS FOR THE CHILDREN vender, and Yellow Pronounced to ittiart for Frocks e^W Youngsters. Lavender is one of the smart col­ ors for children's frocks this spring. It Is used In many fabrics--linen, or­ gandie, crepe de chine and other sheer or thin material. It Is effective­ ly used, this lavender, authough at first thought it seems a rather odd color for children to be decked In. Of course, the time When lavender was considered primarily a color for old .%*«women has gone by. Really, when |fe|one comes right to the point, it Is fre­ quently less becoming to an old and .y^jfaded face than is a more definite color. A rich dark blue is almost be­ seeming to the colorless and aged face, ^whereas lavender often robs it of such vitality as it has. i ^ At all events, fashion at present smiles on lavender for the youngsters. * . ' Hence they wear It, Another color used a good deal this .spring for little girls' frocks Is yel- fe. M * m anjd jit Does ycrar •particular*' memory go back to the days when to dress a boy child as a Highlander was to prove yourself in the fashionT The swagger of the Gordons was not even omitted from the clothes for small girls. Scotch bonnets were as common among chil­ dren as they are now among men. But it is not possible for the war to leave all forms of dressing free trom its sinister influence. (- It touches the clothes for the young In a gentle way, and the way Is not objectionable. Middle youth, as it is expressed at seventeen and younger, finds the avidn of France and Italy the most picturesque fields from which to draw ft fashion here and there. The oblong cap, the flowing cape with one end draped ever the shoulder, are neat and attractive fashions to use up for the summer season. A& 'Illu­ sive kind of Sam Brown bel$ is be­ coming a bit common, but it too finis an abiding place On the coat o£ a slim little suit. x Now, however, that B&eh a Wg »n«- Jority of young women find that public opinion permits them to wear hreeche^ cap and coat for war relief work, tlMfl are less apt to use up the militarf ideas in the more feminine costume* In children's clothes there is little of the war that can be adopted, but the plaid sashes from Scotland and Naples and Rome, the short black coats, the multiple pockets, are evi­ dences that war has thrown its sted- om downward to the cradle. Adopting Fashions of Age. Between the nursery and middle youth there is a mass of children that must be dressed well throughout the hot season, and for these the design­ ers have turned out enough fashions to supply the demand of a continent of grownups. They smack of sophis­ tication, some of them, and are taken directly from the clothes, of their el­ ders. There Is the surplice , bodice, the Martha Washington collar which re­ sembles a handkerchief, the patent- leather belt, the umbrella skirt, and the short sleeves--which, after all, age has merely pilfered from youth this spring. There are still touches of an older War in the retention of the top hat and cape coat in two colors, which was adopted from the dlrectoire and the consulate, after the designers could not force them upon women with any degree of success last winter. The organdie frocks, which sprlpg like mushrooms from Bar Harbor to the Florida coast this year, $re found to be admirable for youth when-It is parading itself in the afternoon. ^Grown-Up Fashions In Miniature. It is a fact that you cannot fail to observe, if you have had occasion to study the recently produced clothes for little girls that some of the styles bor­ rowed from--or, rather, suggested by --the styles launched this spring for mamma's clothes have done rather better in the Juvenile version than in the adult. Whatever may be the fate of the eton Jacket in grown-up cos- tumery, true it is that not one woman in ten can wear it to advantage. In short, the eton Jacket style goes very much better with children than with their mothers or big sisters. Likewise the collar that Is always part of the picture with the eton jacket--the found-about collar, that seems to make double chins triple, and hides all the prettiest curves Id the grown woman's Heck without concealing any of the Ugly ones. It Is eminently becoming en a little girl; In fact, one never knows what an entirely adorable spot is to be found at the back of a little girl's neck until one has seen it in this ^ton collar. (Copyright, 1918, by the McClure Newspw- i per Syndicate.) j The loose girdles which slip well over the hips on this spring's suits for American women, are reproductions of the sword belts worn In England cen­ turies ago, even to their fastening at the side.

In most trousseaux there are A num­ ber of dainty afternoon costumes, for so many affairs take place now by daylight--receptions, war relief ba­ zaars, fetes and the like. Such frocks are of satin, of foulard and satin, in combination, of embroidered chiffon over satin, of silk poplin, of mohair and worsted weave and other lustrous, supple fabrics. Straight lines are ad­ hered to, but trimmings of embroidery, of filet lace, of beads, of tasseled sashes and so on give plenty of variety and distinction. Some of the new hats are so trimmed that they seem overdone. Is not orange, hut it Is a clear, rather bright yellow. Like lavender, It Is a color rather new to the wardrobe of the child. But It Is becoming to the clear, bright skins of childhood, and the yellow frocks, many of them made of linen, are charming. , New BloueedP*1 Almost all the new blouses of tub materials have wide and deep collars, which outline the V neck, opening down to Its point, and then slope out­ ward to the shoulder, falling well down the back of the blouse. Many of these new blouses are a maze of in­ tricate pin tucking, the tiny tucks crossing each other in groups to make a sort of plaid effect. There is much variety in the arrangement of these tucks, and the woman who can do fine tucking on sheer batiste may evolve a distinguished blouse at trifling ex* pense.

MANY INDIAN PEACE EMBLEMS (Prepare* by tke United States Depart-1 msnt of Agriculture.) Th^re are four distinct systems of making hay, each of which is divided in actual practice into several meth­ ods. Loading by hand is the oldest system and the one most generally used in the older hay-growing sections of the Bast Its retention in these sec­ tions is due largely to the fact that It requires a minimum amount of equipment, which makes It particular­ ly suited to farms where only a lim­ ited acreage of hay Is grown. The equipment required Includes only mowing machine, rake, pitchfork, wagon and rack, and, In most cases, unloading apparatus such as hay forks or slings. Nearly everyone Is familiar with this system, which consists merely of pitching the hay on the wagon with hand forks and hauling to stack or barn, where it Is either pitched off by hand or unloaded with horse forks or slings. While it can be used under almost any conditions, this system involves a large amount of irksome hand labor, and for this reason, as well as the greater expense of labor, It should be replaced by some other system ever practicable. Loading With Hay Loa«Jer. The second system consists of load­ ing the hay with a hay loader. This method is used most largely in the timothy and clover hay area. It Is used to a certain extent In New York and Pennsylvania, and to a greater extent in Ohio, Indiana and Iowa. In some localities there exists a prejudice against the loader. The first loaders put on the market were not mechanically perfect, and there­ fore did not always give satisfaction, and the delay caused by break-downs Influenced many to abandon their use. Moreover, the loader often has been used on uneven or stony ground, with a resultant frequent breaking of vital parts. The use of this loader, under conditions not recommended by the manufacturers, also has tended to lim­ it Its popularity. Another, and perhaps the most Im­ portant, reason for the loader not be­ ing used more generally Is that to use It economically the men on the wagon must work" very hard while the load Is being put on. A study of the use of the loader In several states has re­ vealed the fact that the hired men as a rule do not like to work on the load­ er, and for this reason push rakes and stackers have supplanted it on some farms in the middle West. On one farm It was noticed that when the owner was absent five loads were hauled In one afternoon, but when the owner was present and working on the wagon, seven loads were taken from the field in the same length of time. At present there are two types of loaders. One picks up the hay with a revolving drum studded with spurs of spring wire about si* inches long. The other type takes up the hay by means of a forklike arrangement fas­ tened to long wooden or steel arms. The bed of the carrier is now made solid, so that there Is little likelihood of losing leaves from alfalfa, dover and other legume hays. The hay loader, under ordinary con­ ditio!^ will Increase the capacity of a crew about 30 per cent over that of the same crew pitching the load on by hand forks. The loader Is a valuable Implement, and its saving in labor cost will be considerable, especially on farms where labor Is scarce and expensive. Push Rakes and Stackers. In system three push rakes and stackers are used. This system came Into general use a number of years ago In the region from about the nine­ tieth meridian to the Irrigated sections of the West. , A large percentage of the hay In this j*Jr0ifr0i*eTarefce£e6e£#<rei*ea'0aeg * CAN HELP FARMERS ? (prepared by the United 8t*te«. • Department of Agriculture.) Bach town, under the leader- Jj. ship of Its most active spirits, such as its chamber of com­ merce or county council of de­ fense, itself should immediate­ ly make a survey of all able- bodied men who have had farm experience and obtain pledges to spend a day or two out of each week, or a week if need be, out of the month at the periods of greatest demand, in order to help the farmers. There are many men working in the towns whose places can be taken by the women. I have in mind par­ ticularly men waiters, elevator _ boys, and clerks whose work •5 can be well substituted, if the ^ business sentiment of th^^own o will act resolutely and p^pade « employers to use women tem- 5 porarily in order that the men ^ may be released for farm labor • as the occasion may require.-- • Clarence Oiisley; Assistant Sec- • retary of Agriculture. •eo?o4o*oeeee*oeo?0V09'0?«« part of the country is stacked; and the comparatively large acreages grown, plentifuiness of horses, scarc­ ity of farm labor, and desire to make hay with the least amount of hand la­ bor were Incentives to the use of theae two machines. Push rakes, also known as "bull rakes," "go devils," "sllp-arounds," consist of wheelless, two, three and four-wheel types. They are capable of handling from 000 pounds to. a ton of hay, depending upon the type, the skill of the driver and the team. There are several kinds of stackers, the overshot and swing-around being the most common. Home-made stack­ ers are of various kinds, such as "gin- poles," derrick stackers of different kinds, and inclines for handling hay from the large one-ton push rakes. The push rake and stacker make an admirable combination, since nearly all of the work of getting the hay from the field to the stack is done by horse­ power. The push rake takes the hay from the windrow or bunch to the stack, where it is dropped on the stacker and elevated onto the stack by horses. These Implements can be used with small crews, consisting of two men, up to crews of twelve or more men. Baling Hay In the Field. In system four the hay is baled In the field and push rakes and a power press are used. The practice of baling in the Held from the windrow began, in the semi- arid middle West, where there is but little danger of rain Interfering. It has long been believed that hay is not in condition to be baled until it has gone through the "sweat" in the born or stack. This process Is usually fin­ ished from three to six weeks from the time the hay is made. In the West, growers of prairie and alfalfa hay for the market realised that if it were possible to bale hay from the windrow a considerable sav­ ing of time and labor could be made. This saving would consist of a large part of the cost of putting the hay into the stack. They also began to doubt the necessity of allowing the hay to go through the "sweat" before it could be safely baled. Repeated tri­ als and careful study have shown that a good quality of hay can be made when baled from the windrow under certain conditions. At the present time hay is being baled from the cock in parts of the South. Conditions 8hould Bo Right. Hay baled from the windrow often spoils so badly that it becomes unfit for feeding. This trouble is some­ times experienced by beginners and more especially when alfalfa or other legume hay is baled. There are three causes for this. First, the hay will not keep unless it is well cured In the field, It being necessary to cure It out more thoroughly than when It is to be put into the stack. Second, hay that is baled when partly wet with dew or rain is very liable to spoil. Third, hay Is liable to spoil when the bales are Improperly stored by being packed away close together. In many cases If the bales are placed on edge with an air space of an Inch or two between, and the next layer placed crosswise with spaces there will be much less danger of heating and spoiling. PUN PRODUCTS FOR MARKET Cane, Jars and Other Containers Should Be Uniform in Pack, Ap­ pearance and Quality. (Prepared by the UPited State* Depart­ ment of Agriculture.) One of the first essentials to satis­ factory marketing arrangements Is standardized products. Cans, Jars, and other containers should be uniform in pack, appearance, quality, and condi­ tion. Every container which is fully up to the standard represented by the label or brand will then be an adver­ tisement in Itself and often a guaranty to further purchases.

He supposed that he had earned a rest for the remainder of his days, but now sees that he was mistaken. "I am now fifty-flve years of age," h'£ said, "and have not done any manual labor for eight years, but I am going to hire out this summer and fall to help my for­ mer neighbors to harvest their crops. I figure that as long as I am too old for military duty, I can help win the war by helping produce crops."
