With dancing still a popular pas. time, indoor and out-of-door skating becoming a more fascinating fad each day, new clothes are constantly in de mand. The indoor skating frock might consistently serve as well for afternoon tea, bridge parties, and sim ilar daytime affairs, or it may be as plain as the fancy dictates. Indoor Skating or Afternoon Frocks Sleeves and collars are the distinct ive features of these costumes. Whether . for afternoon or morning wear the collar is high; not necessar ily of the choker type, for many a collar high in back rs open in front, affording the comfort of the open throat and the chic of the high neck dressing. When the choker is used it is boned as of old, and usually finished around the top with a frill, ruche, circular band of chiffon, picot edged, or a narrow strip of fur. On one of the new Paquin models of black satin and velvet the high satin collar is topped with a two-inch-wide circular flounce of chiffon. While trimmings are not elaborate on these gowns, still there are many little de mils wnicn otter the clever woman with individual ideas a chance to make good use of them. Cloth-covered but tons, silk-covered buttons, in self tone, or a color that harmonizes, are being used to trim both dresses and suits of the more dressy as well as the simpler types. Both long and three-quarter length sleeves are used in daytime dresses; when the three- quarter length sleeve is used it is cut very full and flares away from the forearm gracefully, with very much the effect of the old-fashioned flowing sleeve of grandmother s day. Favored Colors and Fabrics While serge and gabardine are still the fabrics favored for the more simple suits and drosses, velvet, vel veteen and broadcloth are the dressy materials. Braid, buttons, and fur are the trimmings that bring out the effect of both of these materials. Of course there is nothing richer than black velvet for street and afternoon wear; a charming indoor skating frock of skunk-trimmed black velvet, worn at one of the more popular of the ho tels recently, caused many an eye to follow the graceful skater with her bright hair and huge bunch of purple S8BC am i i THE FASHIONS J Iff i J C v V W f "I Stretch a PEERLESS FENCE Around Your Farm And Quit Worrying Once your fields are all enclosed Gates, your fence troubles are over for a long time to come. are sure to find your animals where you want them and will be free from injuries caused by trying to get through a poor fence.

For skating, as well as for dancing, pantalettes are practical and 'comfortable; these are being put out in all shades to match suit or frock; the simplest of them have merely a frill or two around the ankles in the same color and material as the gar ment. Small Hats for Dancing and Skating For real comfort, both in dancing and skating, the small hat is neces sary. This is usually in bright con trast to suit or frock: for instance. there is a charming shade of brick red that is much favored with blue serge and black velvet dresses and suits. A bright currant velvet is also fuvored, and bright coral too is at tractive for those who find the shade becoming; and for the more conserva tive there are wonderful blues, golden browns, and other dark, rich shades, which will harmonize beautifully with broadcloth, satin, velvet, taffeta and the -other daytime materials. Ma- lines in high up-standing ruches, bows, rosettes and folds is being used considerably for these small toques, with frills of dark brown or black net or malines, wired into shape, are especially effective for both afternoon and informal evening wear. Quaint neck-fixings often accompany these smart little huts; an upstanding frill or two of the malines to match the hat, banded through the center with narrow fold of velvet or satin cor responding with the frock, form be coming neck-ruches and afford an ef fective finish to the costume. Other Interesting Details The belt is still a feature of both suit and frock: while belted effects in general have been done to death for the past season or two, still an attractive belt is a convenient and be coming finish to dress or suit, es pecially with the growing favor of the roundod waistline. Many of the one piece princess frocks, and many of the Russian models also, show this treat ment a fitted portion nt the waist line giving the appearance of a belt or girdle. It is not unusual to see a chic frock of dark blue serge with a shaped piece of chiffon inserted at the sides giving the effect of a belt: these are beaded or heavily soutached, and are of the same color as the frock, or contrasting. A belt of this kind offers an attractive way of intro ducing an effective bit of color con trast; for instance, a dark blue, green or gray dress may be soutached in gold or black on one of the dark, old reds, blues or greens.

Peerless Gates Very few farmers can afford board gates in this age of high price of timber. Peerless steel gates are not only cheaper but they look better and are easier to handle. Heavy tubing frames, filled with special galvanized wire, insures long life. Every part of every Peerless gate is heavily galvanized to prevent rust. The Peerless Self 'Raising Gate IS one of the best selling styles In our entire line It is no longer necessary to lug around the old-fashioned sagging dragging: heavy gates.

Big massive frames of " tubing and close woven all No. 9 wire, close mesh filling, insures long life. Every part heavily electro-galvanized no paint to wash or wear off in a year or two. WESTERN SCENERY FINE Government Guidebook Lauds Tetons Above Swiss Resorts The view of the Teton peaks rfom Ashton, Idaho, is superb and doubtless has been the inducement for many a tourist and sportsman to leave the main line for the Teton Range and the Jackson Hole country in pursuit of elk, sheep, trout, and unsurpassed mountain scenery. Owen Wister's "Virginian" was glad to get out of these mountains because, as he ex plained, "They're most too big." The ayerage American, who has only a vague conception of the nat ural beauties of the Rocky Mountains and imagines that real alpine forms are found only in Switzerland, must be surprised when he first sees the lofty peaks of, the Tetons. Even a man who has climbed the Matterhorn would think twice before daring to try Grand Teton. According to local re port this peak has been ascended only twice, in 1872 and 1894. As the snow clad mountains along the Alaskan Ar chipelago, rising to cloud-reaching heights, stand with their feet bathed in the ocean, so from a viewpoint near Ashton the Tetons, towering to the sky, rise from the billowy surface of a sea of golden grain.

FIREMEN PLAY SANTA Alfred Dahlke Remembered by Mates of Mountain View Company Members of Mountain View hose company, of the county seat, played Santa Glaus Christmas and took a generous purse and Christmas greet ings to Alfred Wahlke in the Oregon City hospital. Mr. Dahlke has been an inmate of the institution since last May, when he was seriously injured by fulling from a tree on the site of the new Moose home. Dahlke sustained a broken leg at that time, as well as other injuries. Last week it was found necessary to amputate the leg, and now the injured man is showing signs of permanent improvement. The firemen have been assisting Mr. Dahlke's brother in car ing for him, nnd thir Christmas of fering was merely an extra token of their good will.

E. I'.ookwood In Hoard's Dairyman. Many a well born animal falls far short of fulfilling Its possibilities solely because of neglect during the first six months. The calf should be dropped In u clean, well littered box stall and left with its dam for twenty-four hours. During this period It will obtain the first milk from the udder In the natu ral manner nnd In such quantities as nature requires. At the end of twenty-four hours re move the youngster to a clean, dry in closure and begin to teach It to drink. Some calves take more kindly than others to this process, but usually n few days are sufficient to complete the education. Since under natural condi tions any young animal takes a small quantity of food at a time, care must be exercised not to overfeed. Two quarts at a time will be sufficient at first, and this preferably warm .from the udder of its dam. At the end of a week or ten days skimmilk may be in troduced as n . portion of the ration, The dulryman who Is anxious to bulla up his herd tjuickly should spure no pains In keeping the calves and young heifers growing. Tiiose thut have been poorly fed and are stunted in si.e are far more apt to have trouble at calv ing than the ones that have been so fed as to be in thrifty condition and large for their age. The illus tration shows a thrifty Jersey calf. gradually diminishing the proportion of new milk until all Is from the sepa rator. At the end of a month or earlier some nicely cured alfalfa or clover hay should be placed before the youngster. Provide a fresh allowance every day, for a calf will not relish that which has been nosed over and at first, too, only the choicest bits will be eaten. Some kind of grain should be given as soon ns the animal will take It. Cooked linseed or similar foods are often recommended, but ground oats or a handful of wheat bran fed dry once or twice a day will help to make bone and muscle without the bother of preparing porridge. Whore it Is obtainable, whole corn can' make up a large proportion of the grain ration. The object should be to keep up a steady, thrifty growth with out Inducing surplus fat Scours, that baue of calfhood, may be guarded against by avoiding overfeed ing of mill;. Increase the quantity gradually, hut never allow the animal to -gorge Itself. With a fresh stock of hay every day and a regular grain ration In addition to Its milk, the youngster will grow like a weed. Still another thing Is essential to thrift, and that is a clean, dry. well lighted stall, which is reasonably warm. Cold, wet floors lnsiilllciently provided with bedding soon become foul and are a menace to henlth. The comfort of all his animals through the cold winter months should be the study of every herdsman. Varni quar ters are no more conducive to this end than good, thick, dry beds of straw, and no mutter how big the strnw stack In the fall It should be at the vanishing point when another thresh ing time rolls n round every bit of it used In providing comfortable beds.

MEYER, Cashier "WAR" ENDS QUICKLY Fall of Fortress Believed Impregnable Discourages Rebels By the capture and destruction of Fort Riviere, an old stone structure held by superstitious Haitians as impregnable and favored of the revo lutionary gods, the rebellious Cacos of northern Haiti were crushed, and the pacification work of the United States Marine Corps in that section of the turbulent little island was finished. Not an American Ma'rine was injured in this dangerous undertakig1, ac cording to the official reports just re ceived at headquarters of the Marine Corps. Fort Riviere was built by the French when aiti was a colonial pos session of that country and has been the headquarters of the Caco bandits for years. It has always been a hot bed of revolution, and Marine Corps officers realized that it would have to be captured and destroyed before last ing peace could come to that sec tion. Major Smedley Darlington Butler led the expedition against Riviere, and to the 5th Company, under Captain William W. Low, was assigned the task of making the main or frontal attack. This company deployed at a distance of about 1200 yards from the fort and advanced upon it in extended order. The Caco fire was continuous but the aim of the attacking party of Marines was so deadly that they were enabled in a very short time to get into position from which the fort could be stormed. With characteris tic dash they were upon the works, and although the Cacos stuck to their guns until the Marines had actually entered the fort, they were unable to inflict a single casualty in the ranks of the sea soldiers. Major Butler then, ordered the fort dynamited and when the last stones of the old structure were destroyed, the revolutionary hopes and ambitions of the north Haiti Cacos were buried beneath the ruins of Riviere. CARUS SCHOOL NOTES The play,, "The Courtship of Miles Standish," and basket social, held at Carus schoolhouse December 18, was a decided success in every particu lar.

The principal characters, Lake Smith as Miles Standish; Robert Tre mayne as John Alden, and Esther Casto, as Priscilla are especially de serving of praise. The proceeds of the basket social, $31, will be used in the purchase of an organ for the schoolroom.
