The daatgna hove boon taken from tho old Bobofsfan, Hungarian and Ru manian pennant embroldertea and re , produced Is the printed fabrics with a surprising verisimilitude and vigor.

Kings and queens In quaint costume* Stand forth in conventional frame* without any background. The Persian and Egyptian art not overlooked, although they are not em phasized. The Orient receives honor able mention in a cloisonne effect that has a most delicate beauty. Another Important tell fabric will bo tho metallic cloths. Per tho first time they will occupy an important place In an American silk producer'* commercial offerings. They equal the Preach metallic brocades In beauty and will csmpare advantageously in price. They are surprisingly soft and light, aa 46,000 yards of the gold thread weigh only one pound. A heavy gold plaiting is aald to bo used on the threads, making thorn practically tarn Mi proof! Plain crepe moM Is shown as won as the colorful brocades. Plain georgette crepes, chiffons and velvets art of course always good, but tho emphasis this year is aa Assign. Ths crepe-back satins and brocades have self-patterns that stand out to a futnt but rich beauty. They differ from the other novelties by their grout sim plicity. and appearance of depth.

Flaxseed Production Will Show Increase Prices Fluctuate to Disad vantage of the Growers. Vkim?4 hr ?a? VaMM ium Owitawi ?( Aarteutturv.) Thar* |s aa Increasing spread ba I twaen tb? production of fists Sbrt In the United States and the domnnd for : home consumption, according to the United States Department of Agricul ture. Until 1S08 thin country produced, on an average, mora than U consumed nod therefore wan able to axport n surplus In nearly every year. Begin ning with 1908, however, oar produc tion began to decline, while our re quirements began to Increase with population. Nat Imports consequently have Increased. The redaction In con sumption in 1017 and 1018 was duo to war restrictions, and that in 1030 and 1821 to bnalnom depression. It la fairly certain that the figures for 1022, when available, will show an increase In consumption. As ths United ttsftM changsd la po sition from an expertsr to an Importer of (leveed, the farm price of flax In creased materially. IB 1807, when a surplus of over <900.080 boaheia was on December 1 averaged 88 coats a bushel. In 1808, when pradnettoa and consumption werq practically equal, the farm price of flaw id was 81.18 a bushel. In 1000, when 4967,000 bushel* wan imported, the farm price rate to $198 a bushel In many lerellttee a comparatively email volume of flavesd is marketed; and because the price tuotuatas wide ly, flaxseed aaneliy is bought on a wide margin, and the grower often does not receive the fall value of his crop. This condition could be Im proved If several growers of flaxseed 'la such lecallties weuld combine their deliveries and thus market a carload or mere at eoe time Sixty-one electrical power plants, with a total installed capacity of more than 3,500,000 kilowatts, are now under construction in the Unit ed States. Total cqst will be 8469, 100,000. Capital invested in central stations at,end of 1922 was $5,100, Fifty-five Johnston County club girls paid their expenses to the Tri county club encampment at Wilson by selling produce Jit the pew pro dace market recently opened at Smithfield, reports Miss Minnie Lee Garrison, the home agent.
