curls?
One must duly apologize to viIlon for
such a parody on his wonderful ballad
Of last years SHOWS, but the fact re-
mains that fashions in hairdressing do
fade with the SHOWS. and are as soon
forgotten as the flakes themselves. This
autumn there is even less false hair
used than during the summer for the
little side whiskers. and the so-called
kiss curls'' and temple curls'' have
alike been put aside by conservative
women, and a part either in the middle
or at one side with the hair rolled softly
back from the face is most in. vogue.
In London and Paris the fashionable
women are rolling their hair severely
close at the sides of the head, but drawn
into deep wave on the forehead, the
hair then being twisted into a high coil
at the back Of the head. giving a very
high and narrow effect that is ultra
smart. but not becoming to the average
girl or woman.

draw the hair close at the sides and into

SENSIBLE WAY TO HELP

Rev. A. H. Thompson Of the First
Methodist Church hit the nail on
the head on Sunday morning when he
urged that instead of making gifts to
the suffering Belgians, instead of
those whom we have ordinarily given
them, contributions to the Belgian
relief funds should be in addition to
the other things that we have beer
in the habit of doing.
Many suggestions for finding funds
for the Belgians have been made. 1t
has been suggested that the ordinary
Christmas giving be suspended, that
people who usually employ. help, get
along with less help, that old clothes
be made to nswer in place OF the
new which would ordinarily be
bought, that, parties aud other social
festivities be discontinued, in short,
that the people OF his country place
their expenditure on the basis Of bare
necessities, and That the money thus
saved be devoted to, the relief of the
Belgians. Perhaps the most satisfac-
tory thing in connection with this
program is that it will not be follow
ed.
The Belgian people are in the most
de%plorable condition Of any people in
recent years. The suffering to which
they have been subjected and which
bids fair to continue for a long time,
is SO great INC SO general, that is is
impossible to exaggerate it, and quite
impossible for us to appreciate It.
Those people need relief. need :. badly
and need it Immediately, and the Am
erican people ought to be glad, and
they are glad to contribute of their
means to the relief Of this awful dis
tress. All this goes without saying.
But there are ways Of giving relief
that are destructive, and one OF them
would be for the American people to
bring disaster on themselves and their
.neiGhbors in order to relieve distress
somewhere else. The United States

BEWARE OF IMPOSTERS.

Reports are now beginning to come
In to the department from several Of
n states ~quarantincd for the foot
a1ld mouth diseasc that persons who
have no connection whatsoever with
the department arc attempting to pass
themselves off as federal inspectors.
There are several possible motives
tina might account for the existence
OF these imposters. In the outbreak
of 1908 there were instances OF men
who obtained money from credulous
victims who believed that in this way
tho would escape the Inconvenience
of Quarantine and disinfection. This
is, of course, a very simple form of
extort1on. Another motive may be
the sale Of some quack remedy for
the disease.
Stock owners can protect hem
selves very easily against this fraud,
COR there is no specific remedy for
the loot and mouth disease. Since
the germ has lever been isolated, it
has never been possible as vet to ind
any serum that would act either as a.
cure or preventive, and the public
may be quite certain that anyone who
says that he is an employe of the de-
partment of agriculture, and at the
same time attempts t 0 sell or even
recommend anything of the sort, is
simply an imposter. For this reason
stock owners are warned not to allow
strangers to visit their stock or at
tempt any demonstrations Of so-called
cures by injections or otherwise.
There is. moreover, very great dan
ger that such people might dissent
nate the disease. 1t is a well-known
fact that the germs can be carried
on clothing. In infected territory,
therefore, 1t is quite possible that a
man who has come in contact with
stricken animals nay bring the dis
ease to a perfectly healthy herd. This
also accounts for much of the spread
of hog cholera.
Tho department therefore recon-
mends all farmers to keep their ami
mails from contact with all save those
who have definite business with them.

THE PUBLICITY PAMPHLET.

According t" the report OF Thomas
Hall, secretary Of state. the state
publicity pamphlet for 1914 has cost
the voters OF the state $3,G15.1O. the
entire cost of the publication was ST.
1900, and the receipts from candi-
dates amounted to $3,541.99. The
candidates, therefore, contributed IL
publication. The Taxpayers pay the
rest.
We do not know who invented the
official publicity pamphlet. 1t was
not invented in this state. But it was
used III some states and adopted here
as something which was new. and
which. therefore, must be good. An
Impression prevails in some quarters
1ett all new things are necessarily
Ssod, the w the better.
'HThc idea was that the state should
issue Il pamphlet in which candidates
could make their rnorucemen to
the public. that the fees from candi-
dates would make the thing self sus-
tanning, and that the
which had been waxing fat off their
receipts from political announcements
should be deprived of this portion of
their swollen incomes, and that thcir
owners should be relieved of the I'M
pleasant and dangerous condition uf
having SO much treasure laid up
where moth and rust could corrupt
and thieves break through and steal
In some particulars the plan has
not worked out as expected. The re-
port of the secretary of state tells
one side of the story. The fees from
candidates do not pay the cost of tho
publication. and the voters them
selves arc required to pay more than
af the cost of carrying to them
selves the booklet containing the nice
things which candidates say about
their own capacity and careers. And
many of the candidates who have pat
ronized the states publication are de-
cidedly of the opinion that the results
are not worth the price. A good
many candidates Have ignored the
pamphlet entirely, with no apprecia-
bic bad results.
Secretary Hall suggests that
changes be made in the list of fees
if the publication OF the booklet is to
be continued. This should be done.
unless the legislature decides that
h best thing is to discontinue the
publication entirely.

feature of the bureaus work. This
has been particularly effective as af-
fccting the cattle industry of the
great southwest, having proved of
such material value as to create a de-
mand for it's continuance throughout
to October as at present.
Another opportunity for service has
been found in the timbcred regions
OF the west during periods of unusual
drought. This has been taken ad-
vantage of through the issue of spc-
cial forecasts of hot dry winds, which
are disseminated directly to the Off

tons. placing them on their guard at

If Bobby Coon didn't say Just this it

bright as day. He couldn't remember
ever having seen such bright moon
light. OF course, he had many, many
times. 1t only seemed brighter be-
~cauSe-well, because Bobby wanted
darkness so much. Almost at his
heels were Bowser the Hound and an
other dog, and drawing nearer he
could hear the voices Of men. He
meant danger, the greatest possible
danger, for him. Those were the
voices of hunters, and they were hunt
ing for him. Bobby knew it. He
wasn't afraid of the dogs, but lie was
terribly afraid of their masters. And
that is why he wished with all his
might that it was dark instead OF
light. He knew that mem cannot see
we'll in the dark. sand were It dark he
unseen. That is why he had started
for the deepest, darkest part of the
Green Forest as soon as he knew that
these dogs were following his tracks.
But he wasn't ito get there. You
see, he was o fat to run we'll, and so
here were the dogs almost at his very
heels before he had even reached the
Laughing Brook. There was nothing
to do but to climb a tree, and do 1t
quickly. Close at hand was a young
hemlock tree. 1t wasn't very big, but
the branches were thick, and he hoped
that he might be able TO hide among
them. Up he scrambled just as Be
ser the Hound nipped at his heels.
Way up to the top climbed Bobby, an.
chung close to the trunk of the tree.

there they would not be able to see
him because of the thick branches be-

the dogs would give up and go away
now and they knew that they could
not get him. az"
But the dogs didn't go away. In
stead, they danced around at the foot
of the tree, looking up and barking
until it seemed to Bobby that they
would split their Threats. He wished
they would, but, of course, they did
not. You see, they were doing their
best to call their masters. They knew
perfectly we'll that Bobby was up in

has already suffered tremendously
from this The head of a Chica-
go society to investigate unelnploy-
ment among Chicago women urges
women everywhere who are looking
for work to remain away from Chica-
so, because there are already more
unemployed women there than have
ever been known in the history of the
city. To the normal conditions of
winter in every large city ire added
the thousand who have been thrown
out of work as n direct result of the
war. Factories whose product usual
ly found a foreign market have clos
troyed. Other factories which used
large quantities Of foreign material
in their processes have closed or gone
on short time because they were un-
able to obtain material with which
to work. Other like causes have
swelled the ranks Of the unemployed.
and winter is just beginning. There
arc evidences all over the country
Of improvement in conditions. Many
factories that have been closed are re-
Stunning work, and many who have
been out of employment are again on
the payroll. But it will be a long time
before conditions are anything like
normal.
If much of the advice that is being
so freely given were followed, and if
our people were to restrict their pur-
chases for all purposes to the de-
mands of bare necessity, we would
simply be transferring to the United
States IL large share of the suffering
in Belgium which we were trying to
relieve.
The Belgians must be relieved, We
must aid in the relief. In fact, we
must take the lead in that relief. But
in order to relieve anybody, it is nee
essary for us to keep the people of
our own country in such condition
that they will not become public
charges. If we are to help others,
and we must, we must maintain our
own efficiency. We cannot do that
by closing UP our factories and our
stores. That course would be utter
ly destructive.
Perhaps the effect on the person
who gives is secondary to the effect
OH the person who is in need Of aid,
but that feature is also worthy of
consideration. If the effect of CIV
ing on the giver is of any value to
him it is in the development of the
spirit of self sacrifice for the sake of
others. And what makes sacrifice is
involved in withholding Christmas
gifts, for instance, from one set of
people and making gifts Of equal val
ue to another lot? None at all.
Therefore SO far as the giver is con-
cerned, the act. has no merit.
The thing that this country most
needs now, and what is needed espec-
tally by our poorer people Is that the
wheels of industry shall be kept NOV
ing. Let our people be steadily en-
ployed in making, not only flour and
meal, saccloth with which to clothe
themselves, as seems to be the idea
of some, but in making the materials
for good dinners and all the trim
mings, good clothing, ribbons and lac
es. toys for our children. autos and
