No one thought little Edith
Haldeman could act when she
went to the Imp company in New
York about a year ago. She was
just one of the number of chill
dren who wanted to "be in the
pictures. And probably folks
would never have seen her pretty
little face and expressive eyes at
the scent theaters all over the
country if big, strong, happy King
Baggott, the leading man, hadn't
caught a glimpse of her. "Why,
that child can act" he said, pick
ing her up in his arms and carry
ing her off to his dressing room
for a little heart-to-heart chat
about dolls and picture books and
all sorts of kiddy things. While
he chatted to the child of child
things he REINFORCED his first inn

l see by the hair-shop windows
and the shape of the new fall
hats, that the elaborate coiffure
is still to be worn, this fall and
winter.
what has the shape of the hat
got to do with it," you ask. A
great deal; hair-dressing always
follows the shape of the hat, and
with the big crowns that one sees
in all the new hats, one must
dress ones hair in way to fill
them out.
Many young women follow
every vagery of fashion in regard
to the hair, and regardless of the
fact that they may have round
faces and low foreheads, they will
this year bring their braids and
twists forward clear over their
foreheads, and allow little curls
which peep from under to reach
their eye brows. 1t will not mat
ter to them whether their heads
are large or small, they will pile
on fake hair because it is the
fashion.
Many women look well with
their hair arranged deliberately
but it usually adds ten years to
ones face, no matter how becom-
ing it is. AS a rule the simpler
one combs ones hair, the young
err it will make one look, al
though many women can in their
later years improve upon their
youthful style of hairdressing.
Coiffures should grow more
formal as one grows older, and
after one turns gray nothing but
the most elaborate hairdressing
of puffs and soft braids should be

HE PROPOSED TO ME

Dear Miss Grey: have
been reading your letters for
some time and you give such
good advice, L am coming to
you myself.
The other night I got ac-
quainted with young boy
through flirting. He came
home with me and told me
how much he loved me. Miss
Grey, he even asked me If L
would marry him Christmas.
/ told him "Yes." Was L
wrong?
II. d.
Al think it was very wrong
of you to flirt for no good can
ever come of it. The right kind
of boy has no respect for a girl
who flirts. Beyond a doubt the
young man was just trifling and
you would do well to drop him at
once and never again gain the
attention of a man in this way.
AS rule, a girl of Is is too
young to really love.

Cynthia Grey's Answers

Dear Miss Grey: have
two 1909 Lincoln pennies
with the initials V. Ii. ID. on
them. Will you please tell
me what their value is, il
any? Thanking you.
ANXIOUS JOE.
Aft the pennies are minor
proof pennies they will bring a
premium of two dollars. BY mi
nor proof, l mean an especial
polish put on at the mint and
with the dining of this polish the
coin loses it's value. There are
100000 of these pennies in
circulation, besides the minor
proof, so it would be difficult to
distinguish them.

HE WAS TOO BASHFUL
Dear Miss Grey: Last
Sunday l dined in a cafe
terra with my fiance, and
when / got to the table
found l had forgotten a soup
spoon. i asked him to go
and get one for us; but he
refused, saying he was too
bashful TO get up before all
the people. 1 had to use my
coffee spoon with which TO
eat my soup. Did he do
right, Miss Grey? What
should l have done?
BEATRICE.
A.-You should have done just
what you did, eat your soup with
the coffee spoon, as it was your
place to remember the soup
spoon.
1t would have been proper for
the young man to get you the
spoon; but as long as he was
bashful and you had another
spoon, you should not hold it
against him.

DITCH ELECTION
BEING DISCUSSED
THE BONDED DISTRICT IS FAVORED
Meeting to Be Held 10 Explain Methods
Of Proposed Change in East Fork
lrrigating Company

The all interesting topic on the East
Side at present is the coming election,
at which the orchard owners there will
vote to turn the section covered by the
East Fork lrrigating Co. into a bonded
district. The orchardists there recently
petltioned the county court and the
election has been called for on Tuesday,
January IA. While the sentiment as
expressed by a mass meeting of the
stockholders of the East Fork Co. here
IN August is strongly in favor of the
bonded district method of conducting
the big ditch, some Of the orehardists
do not thoroughly understand the pro-
posed change and a meeting will be
held at the Pine Grove grange hall on
the evening Of Thursday, December 19.
we all seem to realize that to make
a bonded district of the system is the
only thing to be done, says j. +. Fer
guson, president of the East Fork CO.,
although many do not understand the
procedure to be gone through. The
proposed meeting will be for the pur-
pose of explaining every detail of the
bonded ditch system.
The bonded district will cover ap-
pluNilndttll ibsbbu acres, pTHctiCdIlV
all of the East Side orchard district.
The system will bring about an equal
distribution of benefits over the entire
district. Furthermore. by placing the
lands under the bonded system the
debts will more easily be collected.
The land itself is made directly re-
sponsible and may be reached to secure
payment of obligations to the district.
The failure of the East Fork system
was due to financial difficulties. A
bond issue of $40. 600 came due and no
way of raising funds to care for it.
The only means to be found for secur
ing an additional issue was through
the bonded district system. The big
ditch will be extended and a great
many improvements will be made.
At the election called for in January
any bona fide owner of land in the dis
trict, whether he be a resident or non
resident, has the right to vote. To
establish the district it takes a three
fifths majority vote.

MIR Eccles came here frequently and
was well known to many Hood River
people Although he had built up one
of the largest fortunes of any business
man in the west he was very unusten-
tatious and practiced the same frugal
methods of living that enabled him to
think clearly in his earlier life, when
he was working hard to lay the foun-
dations of his fortune.
Charles T. Early, manager of the
Eccles interests in this county, left last
Friday afternoon for Salt Lake to be
present for the funeral of Mr. Eccles,
which was held Tuesday
During the funeral service of Mr..
Eccles, which was held at the Taber-
nacle in Ogden Tuesday afternoon. all
traffic was stopped on the lines of rail

ming in special trains from points in
Idaho and Utah. The commercial or

Eccles.
