Rutland Herald.)

Vermont farmers are up against the
anne difficulty that confronts the farm
ers in the western states at harvest
ime, excepting on smaller scale. In
occurring laborers for the hay fields
The scarcity Of farm hands has sent
he wages to an unprecedented height.
$50 to $50 month with board being
eported at various points. Something
is radically wrong with our system
when thousands of idle laborers crowd
the parks and payements in the con
ested centers Of population and the
ural districts are embarrassed by the
carcity of able-bodied men to secure
the crops.

WHEN BEING PHOTOGRAPHED.
Follow This Advice and Your Portrait
Will Be Fine.

If you want to look your best when
you have your photograph taken these
hints may be of USE
Don't Wear a dress which is very
fussy or fashionable. The trimmings,
which look SO pretty in real life, won't
show up in a photograph, while any
thing very fashionable quickly goes
out Of 6ate and make the picture seem
ridiculous. The best things to choose
are:
For an outdoor girl, plain shirt
and skirt which matches it in color
For a more artistic girl, chiffon
scarf draped softly round the shoulders.
For e child. a plain white frock with
white shoes and stockings.
/ Never be photographed in hat, veil
or glasses. Don't do your hair in a
I great many elaborate puffs and waves
or it will come out looking as stiff as
+ wig
| Don't try to hold the pose too long
/ or you will get a fixed, unnatural ex-
i preston. Let the photographer put
+ you in the place where he wishes you
/ to sit or stand, but don't try to keep
4 your face still before he says Now
If you feel uncomfortable in the
place Where he has put you say so and
ask leave to move If you are taken
when you feel at all uneasy the pic
/ ture can never be a success.
AS n rule, the subject of a photo
graph looks better in a low necked
/ blouse than in a high necked one. for
the line around the throat made by
high, tight collar is not at all ar
tistic
Don't take any one else's opinion on
the choice Of a photograph. When the
/ proofs come home one person will pre-
fer this and another that Let them
say what they like, but take no notice
unless You happen to agree with them
You know best how you want to look,
and 4 picture chosen by yourself will
have individuality. which is better
than all the prettiness in the world.
