The Rural Patterns. 
When ordering patterns always give 
number of pattern and measurements 
desired. 
The skirt that gives the tunic effect, 
yet is really a single one, is much liked 
and will be greatly used throughout the 
coming season. Here is a model that 
can be trimmed to produce that effect 
or finished with a deep facing of con¬ 
trasting material or made of two ma¬ 
terials, as liked. In the illustration, it 
is cut slightly above the waist line, but 
it can be cut off and joined to a belt, if 
preferred. The model is an excellent 
one for all seasonable material, cotton 
and linen as well as silk and wool. In 
the illustration white mohair is banded 
with silk, but white linen trimmed with 
color or with braid would be equally 
smart. The skirt can be made in two 
pieces with seams over the hips only, or 
in three, with a seam at back, as best 
suits the material. It is fitted by means 
of darts. When the simulated tunic is 
desired the trimming is arranged on 
indicated lines. The skirt also is per¬ 
forated for deep facing or for contrast¬ 
ing materials. For the medium size will 
be required 524 yards of material 27 or 
2§4 yards 44 or 52 inches wide without 
the seam at back; 4yards 27, 4 yards 
44 or 52 with seam at the back; the 
width of the skirt at the lower edge is 
2J4 yards. The pattern, No. 6936, is cut 
in sizes for a 22, 24, 26, 28, 30 and 
32 inch waist measure; price 10 cents.

Conservatives and Insurgents. 
I have two close neighbors, so differ¬ 
ent that the contrast affords me much 
amusement. You all know the types, 
and if you have them placed just as I 
have, perhaps also see the humor in it. 
I call them “The Conservative” and 
“The Insurgent.” The Conservative has 
just a small farm, as much as he and 
a “month hand” can attend. He never 
moves, and his farming has never va¬ 
ried, to my knowledge. Just so many! 
cows and horses and hogs, etc'., and’ 
never any speculation. He never goes 
in debt, goes to the nearby town on cer¬ 
tain days with butter, eggs and other ( 
produce, and returns with the supply of 
food and other articles necessary to buyJ 
To be obliged to send to town on other ( 
days is, to his mind, poor management, 
but I knew him once to miss his calcu¬ 
lation by the price of a gallon of oil. 
But he returned home for the money 
before he bought that oil. Time is or¬ 
ganized in that household. Up at five 
the year round and unless detained by 
callers, you will see no lights in the 
house after nine. You will always find 
the wife in the Fall with a supply of 
fruit “left over,” and there is always an 
extra rag carpet woven ready for a time 
when it shall be needed. In their opin¬ 
ion those who do not get their “hog¬ 
killing” done before Christmas “have no 
business keeping hogs,” and the building 
of a new-idea chicken house is a case 
of “fool and money soon parted.” 
The Insurgent is a newcomer. He 
has bought a large farm, has torn away 
the old house and outbuildings (“he 
might be glad to have such before he 
dies”), and to cover the expense of new 
buildings, for he is young and without 
funds, he puts a sawmill in the timber- 
land, and his teams are passing every 
day. He hires a half dozen men, and in 
season his fields are dotted with busy 
workers. He has labor-saving machin¬ 
ery and new appliances for butter-mak¬ 
ing. He sells in wholesale quantities 
and buys in, like manner, turning an 
honest dollar in every way he can. He 
buys without money, but his thorough¬ 
going manner seems to provide security. 
Now can you not easily guess which 
man voted for replacing the old school 
house with a better one, to raise the 
teacher’s salary, and used all his in¬ 
fluence to secure macadamized roads? 
And do you know which one never fails 
in attendance upon all church services, 
and who is just the man you will call 
upon for active, physical help at a time 
“when things go wrong?” They are 
both excellent people, and every com¬ 
munity needs the two classes, if such a 
state of affairs cannot exist where a 
happy medium could populate. It is a 
consoling thought that “it takes all kinds 
of people to make a world,” for perhaps 
even such as I may be needed. i„ s. 
Lamb’s Kidneys.—These require to be 
cooked very slowly; too much cooking 
will toughen them. Put into frying pan 
over the fire five or six thin slices of 
bacon and cook them a nice brown. 
Take each piece up with a fork, arrange 
the slices aound the inside edge of a hot 
platter and stand it in the mouth of the 
oven, or any warm part of the range. 
Have the kidneys prepared by slicing 
them or cutting them through the mid¬ 
dle and using a wooden toothpick for 
a skewer to keep them open. Fry them 
in the same pan in which the bacon was 
cooked, making each side a nice brown. 
Lay squares of toast in the middle of 
the platter and put the kidneys upon 
them. Stir a teaspoonful of flour into 
the gravy, add a teaspoonful of lemon 
juice and season with a couple of 
pinches of paprika. Pour over the kid¬ 
neys and serve.

R. N.-Y. and you’ll get a quick reply and a 
“square deal.” See guarantee editorial page. 
LIGHT* 
Hear the Voice ol Wisdom 
O VER 2000 fire insurance companies 
urge people to protect their buildings 
from lightning by the Dodd System of Light¬ 
ning Control. They grant lower rates of 
insurance to induce people to secure 
this protection. 
It is to their interest to do so. Their statis- ^ 
ties prove to them that three out of four of 
their country tire losses are caused by 
lightning.

Who Perfected 
Lightning Control 
The same statistics show them that of 
all the tens of thousands of insured build¬ 
ings that are protected by the Dodd System, 
they have never had one dollar’s loss to pay. 
Make this a personal matter now. You have insur¬ 
ance on your home. Get protection on that home 
and for your family. Get noth insurance and pro¬ 
tection for the cost of insurance alone. The reduced 
cost of insurance shortly pays for the lightning pro¬ 
tection. Don’t trifle with fate. The investment is 
wise. Itadds but little to the cost of your buildings. 
The Dodd System is a 1'eal system—the one univer¬ 
sally endorsed. It is in charge of trained, schooled 
men only. Every building a separate problem, 
rodded according to conditions. Guaranteed. Monel/

DO YOU NEED FARM HELP? 
The Jewish Agricultural and Industrial Aid 
Society has on its lists men wishing to obtain em¬ 
ployment upon farms. Most of them are without 
experience, but they are able-bodied and willing 
to work. They speak little or no English, although 
many of them speak German. If you can make 
use of such help, please communicate with us, 
stating what you will pay, whether the work is 
permanent, and whether you prefer a single or a 
married man. We are a philanthropic organiza¬ 
tion, whose object it is to assist and encourage 
Jews to become farmers. We charge no commis¬ 
sion to employer or employee. Address
