NUMBER 27 Collar and Cuff Sets the Call of the Mode Sing u song of lingerie collars and cud's, they are the fashion of (he hour. Let every school girl join In the chorus, for pretty, lacy, frilly things at neck and wrist have such n happy way of giving one a refreshing start to classroom each morning. If one heed t lie promptings of the mode, one will see to It that the school time outfit includes one of the popular youthful-looking fine flannel frocks either plaided, striped or in solid col oring. To wear with it, in the till of one's trunk or In one's top dresser drawer should he a plenteous supply of lingerie collar and cuff sots, a lace' vtjstee or two, a net and insertion bib effect and do not forget to Include one of the detachable lhce panels which drop from their matching collars to the very hemline of the dress. Gar nltured with these dainty accessories, even the most ordinary frock assumes a distingue air of charm and refinement. The Patient Burro Generations of burros have been so resoundingly beaten that a racial re venge seems to have settled into an irritating indifference to punishment. The Instrument of custigation is never less than k. club one inch In diameter. The burro has learned to flex i s Joints when the blow descends so as to break Its force. Oue of them, a young fellow It seemed to be, was once observed to mistime Its flex and In consequence received so fti I a benefit of the blow that it indubi tably knocked all future attempt! tit anticipation from its anatomy. Rumors are growing louder (hat the burro will he displaced by t lie motor ear. In that case it will work Us own destruction; it will transport the end less variety of material to build the road that will lead lo lis doom. Humanity is lagging behind the burro in the race for existence. Whether it finds nourishment in mere philosophic. contemplation is an o"n question. Who has over seen a being fed? A nose-bag would y stifle It. As for eating, a burro was once observed hastily snatching a banana peel as it loped along with its load and receiving a hollow-sounding whack from the driver by way . of gratitude for pick ing up a living. Lima (Peru) West Coast Leader. Wrong Mental Attitude; How We Get That Way The Buss had just taken his head off when the telephone on his desk rang. Now lie could let off steam! The Old Man thought he could call a fellow down just for being late in the morning, did he ! And the whole office laughing kehlnd Its hand! Well, It was as much as li is job was worth to answer buck the Did Man but anyone who was fool enough to telephone at :hnt particular moment would get what was coming to him ! Then he heard his wife's voice. "I'm very busy ; make It snappy," was his first response. Then: "Stop on the way home for the meat? Con found it, I wish you'd run the house ivitJiotit making uie errand boy! Can't yob do It by yourself? What! What! Hello . . flic's rung off. Now she's mad, I suppose." And after that remorse set in. As he turned the corner to his own door a florist's sign caught Ids eye: "Say It with flowers." Why not, he thought to himself. For a dollar no, fifty cents he could smooth things over and life would lie comfortable again. How he difl hate upsets! A-nd today had be n nothing but upsets. Then the florist began it all again. No, he could not give the gentleman a dozen red roses for half a dollar in fact, the roses were 75 cents apiece. No, violets cost even more. But he had some pink carnations that weren't quite fresh that Is, not as fresh as the other flowers the gentleman could nave those at his price. And the gentleman took them all done up In a box with a lot of asparagus. His latch key was out half way up the steps and he sailed in as If noth ing bad happened that was the best tactics, he told himself and, with the smile of conscious virtue, he presented the glorified package without a word. Btit wife had known him lor five years and she opened the Offering with res ervations. And when she thanked him he suddenly began to wonder if she had perhaps seen his pink carnations on her way to market every day for a week. But then It was too hue. How do we get that way?

State Market Agent, C. E.

The independent or corporation creameries do only a small pari of the creamery business of the state. Of the 650 co-operative area) teries about 500 market their product thru the central association; about one hundred million pounds of butter were handled lor the co-operative creameries by the association last year. The manager estimate! that an increase ol 1 oenta pel pound was netted the creameries thru the association. This was ac complished by carload shipments and consquent lower freight charges over imall shipments; and by marketing thru one central agency. The association has an adequate (old storage ami refrigerator system it St. Paul and the creameries are be ing ei. nipped in like manner.
