John T. Williamson, who A Stylish and Desirable Model FOR THE LARGER FIGURES Many women with a well developed figure find it extremely difficult to secure a corset that meets with every requirement and to secure style and comfort at the same time. . A stout figure frequently has better foundation for the production of perfect figure lines than those of a slighter form but such effects can only bo secured by wearing the proper corset that is designed for this style of figure. Faulty figure lines are quickly improved or eliminated altogether by wearing a Henderson Front Laced Corset, jstyle 968, a model that is es- peeially designed for the full figure. - This model is firmly boned; has a medium ibust; the clasp is flexible at the top, thereby preventing uncomfortable pressure on th bust; the venti lated back section made of a soft mesh material prevents pressure on the Aiinal column from heavy boning or bulky seams so objectionable in soma front-laced models; the ventilated tongue under the front lacing prevents the protrusion of flesh or clothing and elastic sections in the skirt "give and take" with every body position. The material is a fine quality American could; trimmed with beautiful silk figured embroidery; has three pair high grade supporters. This stylish and satisfactory corset is made up to size 40.

Thi3 barge is designed to convev the sheer 'from' the railroad point at the foot of the Lake to Stehekin at the upper end, a distance of sixty miles. This will bring the sheep to the higher and little used range on the northern part or Dotn me l.helan and Ukanogan for ests. The launching of this barge upon Lake Chelan will meet a very pro nounced need in this region. For some years stockmen from outside had been using the low range upon the National Forest wast of Methow valley, but as this valley became more and more settled, this range was needed by the settlers and according to Forest Service regulations, they must be given first choice. As a re sult, it became necessary to reduce tho range to outside stockmen, or else compel them to drive their bands to the higher altitudes in the north ern part of the National forest. This was a long, hard drive, often causing lenvy shrinkage in merchantile stick. At a meeting held in North Yakima during the winter, at which users of National Forest ranire.

A certain rate ner 1 head was agreed upon ns transporta tion charge, hut those who contributed toward construction would lie allowed tj ship their sheep free up to the amount contributed. The large is n three-decker ar-d will carry about 2500 ewes and lambs. It is expected that this season it will .transport fully 10.000 old sheen, or approximately IS.000 ewes and lambs.
