Newspaper Page TextNOTES ON NEEDLEWORK. Home-Made Articles of Feminine Finery for the Season Now at Hand. I A pretty home-made article that is in style is a flannel petticoat of line white flannel with a hair line of blue running thiough It. The seams are feather stitched in the blue, and so are the square-cornered tabs at the bottom, which fall loose over a full ruffle of filmy lace. The heart-shaped corsage sachet of White satin Is to wear around the neck beneatr the lingerie. The ribbon c'ge and bow make a pretty finish and it is suspended by a ribbon. Another corsage sachet on this order consists of two pads about two Inches square, with a small bow in the center of each. They are fastened to the ends of a strip of baby ribbon. For the Japanese sachet, made of Japanese s'lk, a Irk two and one-half by three inches, and In the top seam fasten a Japanese doll's head. Around lis neck a ribbon is tied, stock fashion. The mopt popular sachet odors at present are sandalwood, orris and the Japanese perfumes."""""" The rage for hand-made articles of attire tal cs some beautiful forms, and the ones here depcribed are such as may be easily Imltatfd by any woman who knows how to use !irr needle. A very fashionable white crepe wa.l?1t has its front, stock and cuffs rrr.brok'cr'd with clusters. of fmall. pink rorcr :nd fcrpet-Trne-nots In ribbon emurolccry. The bunches of flowers have thf lr k nves and stems done In pale, dull shades of green and goldrn brown. The btmoVrr -f flow ers are competed by find lnterFjiersed with little lowknotsand loops and ends of ribbon. This ribbon tffect Is produced by outlining the supposed ribbon with a single gold thread and working small black dots. In embroidery e Ilk. about an eighth of an inch apart between the gold lines. The effect la that of t c'ainty and novel ribbon. It Is no wider, and probably not as wide, as baby ribbon. In the most fashionable line of hand work come new frocks for early spring, made of a material r xactly like crinoline or scrim the kind used in making croatf-stitch. One lovely frock has three broad bands of cross-stitch down the front, reaching from the hem up. The center one comes nearly all the way up, and the side bands, set rather close to the center one, are much shorter. They are worked in a simple deBlgn of cross-stitch In Russian blue and red. Of all the cross-stitching worn by smart women the preference Is for Russian cross-stitch in these two colors, In only one shade of each. Collars and cuffs and dress sets are worked in the same color and pattern. The bodice to this skirt is a partly. fitted blouse, in shirt waist effect, with three bands of cross stltchlng down the front and one around the collar and around each wrist band. Simple as the frock Is, the handwork gives it an air of distinction. AN ACCOMMODATING EDITOR. Was Willing' to Bo Just as the Bad If an Wanted Him to in . iivt Mconaa, "Do I look a dead man?" This question was shot at the editor of the Dad Lands "Baoo" by a man of ferocious aspect, who entered the sanc tum in a great hurry, relates London Tit-DIts. "My friend, I have no time to answer conundrums," replied the editor, mildly. "I want to know if I look like a dead man?" persisted the visitor, In a louder .tone. "It ain't no conundrum, either." "I don't know that I'm bound to an swer the questions of every excited in dividual who happens to come in. If you'll tell me the object of your call, I'll give the subject some consideration," "Well, sir, your paper announced me dead, and I want to kuow whether I look like a dead man." "Why didn't you say so? No, you don't look like a dead man." "Then your paper lied, didn't it?" "This paper seems to have been mis informed, if you are the man It referred to. I allow no man to say it lied." "Well, I'm the man it referred to, I reckon. There ain't but one Alkali Ike In these diggln's. I'm the terror of the Had Lands. I'm a varmint from the Wicked Desert, and when I'm mad I can lick the entire press of the United States. You hear me?" "I've never been accused of deafness." "I could chew you up In one mouth ful. See?" "I'm not blind." "If you don't make that paragraph right, I'll Jab yer into yer own press, and print an impression of yer paper on yer carcass. Twig?" The editor twigged. "Will yer make that item right?" "I will," replied the editor, rising slowly from his chair, with a seven shooter In one hand and a bowie knife In the other. "Yes, I'll make the para graph true. You'll look like a dead man in exactly five seconds. What's your choice, lead or steel ?" Rut Alkali Ike, the varmint from the Wicked Desert, did not remain long enough, to choose, and the Item hasn't been corrected yet. TWO ACRES PAYS$900. Tract la Strawberries mid reaches Near Freewater Makes Record. In reading of the sales and noting the immense prices paid tor land sold around Milton and Freewater, readers are apt to express doubt as to whether or cot investments in this fruit growing lone are profitable, says a speci al to the Spokesman-Review. If one visits that community and engages in conversation with the growers doubts are eoou dispelled, and conversation can be started easily upon Uio merits of the yield, for the farmers are exceedingly proud of their excellent showings. To illustrate the income ot N. W. Mumford from an acre and three quart ers. He says: "One can scarcely believe me when 1 tell that off one and three quarter acres of land a half mile west of Freewater I sold something like 8900 worth of fruit and berries this seaion. It is true, nevertheless. In the spring of this sea son I sold $220 worth of strawberry plants, $517 worth of strawberries, and from my peach crop from an orch ard of young trees, which is in the strawberry bed, I have and will sell enough to make up the $900, or $138 worth of peaches. Well, $1000 an acre wouldn't buy this particular tract of land. "People may think that the price of land is way out of proportion to its earning capacity, but there are dozens in this valley who have made enough the first year to pay for their land." From four rows of 13 rods each N. W. Mumford picked and sold this summer $50 worth of strawberries. Similar re ports from small berry patches are com mon, proving conclusively the earning ability of the diversified fruit crops in that region. Prune Packer. In the three packing bouses at Milton and Freewater over 100 women and girls are packing the immense crop of prunes, earning an average of $1.50 per day, wages ranging from 75c to $2.50. Ex perienced packers have reached the $3 mark, but they are few, the large ma jority earning $1.50. Farmers are re ceiving 34 of a cent per pound, and say there is money in prunes at those fig ures.
