Often these are of fur, one of the short haired pelts, preferable, beaver, nutria, seal or krimmer; and then again they are of the material of the coat, elabora tely trimmed with braid tmbroidery or a smartly yorked-out design inAnr orher models on the Redindote gora wool. This latter is a very new and effective touch brought out at the early Paris opeingns. Cuffs, too, come in for their share of attention. Some flare, some are made gauntlet fashion, some are made to fit the forearm snugly from elbow to wi 1st, where they flare slightly, and others are merely straight bands of tr-e same, or a contrasting materia.

Editor Sees It 4 Thj winter months will be along soon now and the farmer will be wondering what he and do to while away the evening hours. And right here the editor wants to throw oul a suggestion that rneaus both pleasure and profit. Anange to have a meet ing at one of your school houses or other public places at least one even ing a month, at which you can all compare notes on the reason's work, note the mistakes that have been made and devise the best methods of correcting them the coming year. You can. not get a dozen farmers to gether but what some one of them will have something to say of value to you, something that perhaps ou have not heard before, something that '.vi 11 make work lighter and pro fits greater in future years. The-social features alone of such meeting would drive away the monocony of oi the winter evenings, and from a prae"K;:-il standpoint they would be of great value to every one who par ticipates. Get together, gentlemen, and compare notes.. What is good for one is of equal benefit to ah. Thy farmer is the backone of this town in f.iCt, he is the 'msdnstiy of the nation. We can not place too much emphasis upon this fact. As the . American farmer prosperous. it is with the country in general, and so will it always be. If the far-' i i .1 i j mer nas a oau year, men me stores and the shops and the business com munity as a wnoie sunero. Every body feels the pinch of a close sea son. That'sone of the reasons why we of the town should work in har mony with the farmer for a better and more prosperous community. As he encourages us with his p .t ronae and his cheerful smile when he comes to' us. so should we return courtesy for courtesy by giving him Tiie Happenings in Neor&v Towns Events of the Week Briefly Told by Oor Correspondents Which WHS interest Many; Read What Our Writers Have to Say.

A city dude once drove up to a country store and stepped gingerly from his expensive limousine with eyeglasses dangling at-the front of his imtxiacui ate vest. At the sam time a farmer drove up in his Ford and stepped leisurely to the pave ment. The dude glanced at the far mer with a supercilious stare and stalked haughtily into the store.

And that reminds us 'that if we can just gei every farmer in com munity to realize the financial advi sability of tieing to this tovvn. in his commercial dealings it will be a practical step in advance for the fu ture of the whole community, town and country both.
