Cook with their two daughters, the Minnas Cornell unrt Cully Cook, are leaving on Sunday for Figure Is Fitted to One of the' strangest of strange things In the modern fashion world is the fitting of 'the figure to the gown Instead of fitting the gown to the fig ure. Strange? Perhaps,. but none the less a fact Up to the minute modistes and fashionably gowned women who are putting hours daily to the task of fit ting their figures to their gowns cor roborate this observation. The best fitting gowns of today are made along certain well defined lines with a gen eral Idea of "fit.'' The actual shaping, however, is done by the belle or matron for whom the garment la created. She accomplishes this not by the use of scissors and needle and thread, but by the more subtle and certain matter of diet The new skirts are, oh, so nhrrow; 1 : Mr. an Mrs. Ii. .

More than 100 varieties of strawberries now grow In Alaska, according to the annual report of Alaska agricultural experimental sta tions of the department of agriculture, made public here today. Because of the climatlo eonditions In Alaska It was a hard problem at first to get strawberries to thrive, but by hybridizing cultivated varieties with pollen from the wild native Alaska strawberry, of the coast region, splendid result were obtained. The most re markable feature about these hybrid plants is that they were decidedly more vigoroua than either parent yielding more, growing larger and seemingly suited to almost any climate In the ter ritory. ; . In connection with the growing of apples, the experts in Alaska wrote that only trees with crabapple blood produced fruit. An apple Is being made to hybridize the crabapple with the ordinary eating apple In hopes of get ting a fruit that will stand the climate and be acceptable to good table use. FURNITURE RATES TO .

'!If you'd listen to him a while you'd think nobody ever knew how to make horseshoes before he opened his shop. I used to find him amusing, but I'm getting tired of his eternal bragging." "It is possible that Jim carries his self-glorification to extremes,-' remarked the village patriarch, "but I notice that he does the business. Half a dozen men have owned and operated the oppo sition horseshoeing palace during the past year or two, and they all have sought fresh pastures, they found, the picking so poor here. Jim's always buoy and he told me the other day that he's going to build an addition to his shop In the spring and engage an assistant I've heard a good many complain of his stunts in elocution, but I never beard anybody say that he's a poor blacksmith. He refusfea to hide his light under a bushel, and I can't say that I blame him. "I like to hear a man brag of his skill. I don't like to hear a man speak In terms of praise of his whiskers or his beautiful shape or his ability as a tenor singer, but If ha is satisfied that he can manicure a mule "better than anybody else In his neighborhood he Is privileged to say so, and no well bal anced citizen will be offended. Jim Splker's motives and principles are all right, and if it ever becomes necessary to have my cow shod I'll send her to his shop. "The trouble with the world today la that people , don't brag enough. If a blacksmith brags, ot his dexterity with a hammer It Is reasonably certain that he Is interested in his work and that he will do the best Job he knows how when you patronise him. And when you want him he's generally at his headquarters. The blacksmiths who hang around the village pump talking politics and waiting for some patrlotlq citizen to come along and Invite them to have refreshments are the ones who should be rebuked. The man who wins is the one who is enthuslastio over his business, whatever that business may be; and the one who has trouble side stepping the sheriff Is the man who goes to his task like a galley slave. "When I was In the feed business my discourse was chiefly of hay. I have no doubt that finicky people criticised me and said I talked shop too much, and some probably considered me a bore. But I took a profound interest in hay, and I didn't care a whoop .about the nebular hypothesis or Browning's poet ry, so I discussed the theme I under stood best I really believed, and be lieve to this day, that a bale of hay is the noblest work of man, and I could talk like an Inspired prophet when it waa a question of hay, but I was at a lots for words when subjects more ab strupe were introduced. "The result was that I dilthe biggest feed business in town, and In my old age I have an ample supply ot the wherewithal in the bank. "Whenever a man in this town needed hay he thought of me; whenever his cows erled for A series of pub'llo meetings Is being arranged by the Woman's Christian Temperance union for the purpose of giving to the newly enfranchised voters of the city some practical Information on eivlo problems, moral. amVreform questions and a general Idea of the plat forms Of the leading political parties of the day.

There's nothing like identifying yourself with your busness in that way, even at the risk of being denounced at-pink teas as a bore. "Contrast Bob Hacksmith with Jim Spiker. Bob fixes pumps and has a shop down under the hardware store. You never hear Bob bragging of the way he repairs a pump. He's always brag ging of some fool thing that makes no difference the fish he caught last June or the number of rabbits he shot in one day last January or something like that .He takes no interest in his business. If the mainspring of your pump breaks and you want to have Bob for it, you have to get a dark lantern and a set of false whiskers and track him down. And when you find him he'll want to tell you how he beat Tom Jinks at pool and you have to back him Into a hallway and sit on- him before you can get him to listen to your spiel. "Then he'll promise to come and up holster your pump at a certain time and, of course, he won't do it and you have to carry water from the creek, a mile away, for three weeks before Bob arrives to make repairs.

"So I can't Indorse' any man who roasts Jim Splker Just because he brags of his good work. I wish every man in town would do the same thing." GLAVIS RESIGNS WHILE -CHARGES ARE PENDING (United Pr Leaned Wire.) Sacramehto. Cal., Jan. 1. The resign nation of L. R. Glavls as secretary of the eate conservation commission caused . little surprise at the state capltol here, owing to the charges which are pending before Governor Johnson as to Glavls'' favoritism to lumber Inter ests. Much speculation was Indulged In, however, as to whether Glavia would continue as secretary of the water com mission, the understanding here being that" he did not resign that position. State officials refused to discuss the resignation because the -governor has given no opinion on the charges. ' Gov ernor Johnson is In San Francisco. Sur veyor General W. 8.
