THE COUNTRY EDITOR.
Five years ago about all the
country editor had to do to keep up
with his job was to boost his own
home town and razell with the mail
order houses. The good old days
are very much gone. Today the
editor is interested in Red Cross,
safety first, first aid. sanitation,
thrift stamps, liberty bonds, food
conservation, profitable farming,
income tax, selective draft, Y. M.
G. A., Boy Scouts, good roads, fire
prevention, oral hygiene, short
skirts and a couple or three hun
dred other things each of which,
he is assured by the people partic
ularly interested, is “the most im
portant issue before the American
people.” The result is that the
average edito", having only his av
erage share of brains, finds himself
spread out pretty thin at places.
People who are disappointed when
the newspaper doesn’t whoop’er
upon some special thing should
remember this. The smaller
newspapers are very glad and very
thankful that their assistance is
asked and is being effectively used
i i putting the great issues of the
day before the public. There has
been no complaint that too much is
asked, and there will be none.—

When the Kaiser pulled the trig

"I nm mighty sorry, Uncle Pan. that
this is your last night with us. ('an’t
you stay longer? We boys are hu\lug
a peach of a time,” said Billie.
“Well, if you get more out of it In
the way of pleasure than 1,” suid Un
cle Dan, “you are going some.”
“Billie, I have been talking seriously
with your father and mother about
sending you to a military academy and
they asked me to talk with you about
;it.”
"Whoopee!” Billie screamed, like a
wild Indian.
“Now, hold your horses," said Uncle I
Dan, “and listen to me. You know I
sent my boy, Howard, to one of these i
schools for a year when he was about
your age. lie was narrow chested,
stoop shouldered, rather loose .h inted;
he had the big head and needed dis
cipline and physical development. He
was growing fast and I wanted him to
be strong physically.”
“Say, Uncle Dan." said Billie, “I be- j
lieve your description of Howard fits
me pretty well, eh?”
"Well,” said Uncle Dan, “to bo frank
I think it does; you need the same
tiling. Howard did not like it at first. 1
am told fijr a few weeks he had Tough
sledding,’ but after he found that the
only way was to obey orders, he caught
the spirit of the institution and liked
it. We did not see him for about six
months, then he came home for a few
days. We were astonished at Ids ap
pearnnce. lie had gained about 20
pounds in weight, his muscles were as
hard as nails, he stood as straight as
an arrow, he was courteous, consider

nte and manly. His awkwardness lmd
disappeared. The change was wonder- \
ful and it was all to the good. Here
is a photograph showing ‘before and
after taking,’ and I am sure no patent
medicine advertisement could beat it.
“Well, mother and I were delighted.
That was ten years ago, and Howard
says the year he spent at the military
academy was the best year of bis life.
“Now,” said Uncle Dan, with great
earnestness, “when such training does
so much good, makes better citizens and
at the same time fits a man to defend
his country, why should not Uncle Sam
furnish this training at the govern
ment’s exi>ense? The government has j
the right to call anyone to serve in
case of war, and without training, a
man is worth nothing as a soldier. Un
cle Sam has splendid new training
camps that will soon he available for
the purpose, therefore, here is double
reason why the Chamberlain bill for
compulsory military training should be
passed at once, so that every boy phy- j
slcally fit may have this training and
not leave It for his parents to pay for.
On account of the expense, not one boy
in 50 can take the training now. I am |
glad that you can do so. These big
crops and big prices, I find, make the
fanners rather ‘cocky,’ and that the
best is demanded by them.”
r.illie was up with the lnrk the next
morning, more excited and enthusiastic
than ever. He had a plan. Il< knew
Jimmie owned a colt worth $1'H); that
Jte would make almost another $100 on
his potatoes If they turned out well,
and that lie had from his previous
savings, bought a $100 Liberty bond.
Billie’s plan was to have Jimmie cash
In and go with him. lie was disap
pointed to find that Jimmie would still
lack about $300 of having enough to
see him through. His lip quivering, he
said: “I'm mighty sorry to leave Jim
mie.”
Uncle Dan was silent a moment or
two, then he asked Billie to go down
to the orchard and got him some ap
ples to eat on the train. While he was
gone, it was arranged that Uncle Dan
and Mr. and Mrs. Graham would ad
vance the money necessary so that
Jimmie could go. When Billie returned
he was told about it. He ran to the
'phone and called Jimmie, saying:
I “Come on over, run just as fast as you
! can. I’ve got the greatest news you

ORGANDIE ALWAYS IS CHIC
Many Colors Are Attractive in This
Material, But White Frock Is De
clared Best of All.
Organdie is triumphantly chic,
whether made up with the extreme
self-trimmed demureness that is so
piquant in combination with this ma
terial's sheerness and frivolous crisp
ness or elaborately lace-trimmed, the
lace flatly inset rather than in frills
or flounces, for organdie does not lend
Itself readily to flounced effects.
The white organdie frock is perhaps
the most charming thing in this ma
terial—yes. decidedly the most charm
ing, with a note of color In ribbon gir
dle or other trimming. The French
designers like to put narrow velvet rib
bon upon their white organdie, corn
flower or periwinkle blue, maroon,
purple, etc., a few loops and ends
here, a knot there, a nnrrow band to
tie a short sleeve to the arm, perhaps
the narrowest of lines along the very
bottom edge of the skirt.
Organdie is combined with other ma
terials, with satin, with chiffon, even
with serge, hut the frock all of white
organdie with its bit Of ribbon and its
nosegay is, when all’s said and done,
the best of its kind.
Pink, rose, lavender, blue, citron and
canary yellow, delicate cool green os
chid—all these are lovely in organdie
and are used for summer frocks, some
times with no touch of other color
about them, more often with white or
gandie or lace about tile neck finish If
nowhere else.
Very tiny overlapping frills of Val
enciennes lace, as many as five or six
sometimes, trim the rolling collar of
a colored organdie or even entirely
cover the collar and the foamy bit of
creamy lace is pretty and becoming.
HANDMADE FROCKS ARE BEST
Have Better Fit and More Graceful
“Hang"’ Than Is Attained When
Machine Is Used.
Much Is snld about handmade blouses
and underwear; now and then dresses
are Included, and with many the hand
made Idea Is nothing more than a fad,
or a certain snobbishness in dress.
However, there is a reason for the tedi
ous process ,of making a dress entirely
with the aid of the fingers instead of
i machine, says an expert seamstress.
And that reason is softer and more
[•liable seams, assurance of that desir
able clinginess, and, in general, addi
tional comfort and better fit. Here is
where the home sewer has the advan
tage. .
Making a little cotton voile dress en
tirely by hand means nothing to the
clever needleworker. The pity of it is
that so few needleworkers make their
dresses by hand. Perhaps because of
the mistaken Idea that it is useless
work and work that will never show
for itself. Hund-sewn seams do show
for themselves in the graceful “hang"
»f the garment. Handmade undies anil
blouses need no vindicating; but it is
the handmade dress that must be de
fended. It is a sure \yay of being com
tuendably fastidious if you have the
time and the inclination.
MINK COAT OF BEAUTY.
Here Is n root that is a beauty, hut
unfortunately It is of that class which
Is to he looked at rather than worn
by the great majority of women. It Is
valued at about $2,000. The coat Is
made of a great number of inlnk skins
and Is designed In the latest barrel
silhouette style.
A “Liberty" Handbag Now.
The new “liberty" handbag is so
named because it Is cut in the shape
of the Liberty Bell. It is made of silk
and comes in navy, dark green and
black, with ruffle around bottom and
gilt or nickel ball pendant, to simu
late clapper. It Is lined with flowered
or figured silk and equipped with
horseshoe-shaped mirror.
