TWO STRONG MEN.

The most important contribution
Wisconsin Democrats can make to
representative government the coming
year is to send to the ST. Louis con-
yention a delegation of able and sound
forward looking Democrats and to pick
their best men for candidates for United
States senator and governor Of the state
A staff correspondent of The Milwau
kee Journal, writing from Washington,
saws: GA ticket which some Wiscon>
sin Democrats at the capital are dis
cussing is: For United States senator,
William f. Wolfe, La Crosse; for
governor, T. j. Cunningham, Chippewa
Falls. Those who urge Mr.. Wolfe for
senator, say he is the only Democrat on
whom the party could unite before the
primaries. 1t is felt that Mr. Wolfe,
who ranks as Progressive Democrat,
could speak effectively for the national
administration and its foreign policies.
Mr. Cunningham, also pronounced a
Progressive Democrat, would be accept
able to many Democrats here"

FOR THE COUNTRY SCHOOL

Franklin K. Lane is fulfilling the
true mission of Secretary of the lnte-
Yior. With the clear vision of right
minded statesman he sees that nothing
in the internal affairs of the country
has so strengthened and exalted the ma
ton as the public school system. He
recognizes, too, that the real foundation
of that system is the common country
schools. He therefore has devoted a
great part of his annual report to an
effort to find out and to put into prac
tice ways and means for their improve
ment. And Mr. Lanes support of the
country schools rings true. He wants to
build them up; but he does not want to
do it by tearing other educational in
situations down.
In an article in which Secretary
Lanes educational idea is called the
conservation of human interest and
happiness III IuIdl COulm Utilities liz
Milwaukee Journal says:
Are our rural schools doing their part in max
ing life in the country desirable, asks Mr.. Lane.
He answers it by pointing to the one room, un-
graded schoolhouse that served it's great pur-
pose in an earlier day. but now is only proof
that schools have not kept pace with our pro-
gress in other things And he rightly concludes
that San ambitious people will go where educa-
ton can be had for their children
Secretary Lane is not the first to urge on the
country this vital need of the day But the en-
phasis that this department Of the federal gov
eminent lays this particular need Of our
common life is we'll placed. Nor is Mr.. Lane
without suggestions of remedy. Here and
there" he says, under rare striking proofs OF
what can be done to tie our schools to our life. ,
And he urges that visits be made to such
schools, that teachers and those who have in
charge the conduct of schools see what can be
done and is being done, rightly estimating that
having seen, they will no longer be content with
the outgrown type of country school that does
not bring the pupils the things to which they
are entitled

PRESS POINTS

Bloomington Record: Wisconsin's junior
United States Senator, Hon. Paul o. Husting,
is proving his patriotism, his political honesty
and his bigness in recent speeches he has made
with regard to the European war as it effects
the United States and it's people.
Sheboygan Press: Senator LaFollette is to
speak at Plymouth next Monday evening in the
Turner hall and the attendance will undoubt-
eddy be large. The Senior Senator has numer-
GUS friends in this county and though there are
many who would try to belittle him and speak
of Bob in sneering terms, just bear in mind that
he is the livelist wire in Wisconsin political
circles at the present time. He hits straight
from the shoulder and is not afraid to meet the
issue.

was badly burned about the face and
hands last Friday night while watching
the basket ball game between Hollan
dale and Dodgeville. One of the
players in throwing the ball struck a
hanging gas light, knocking it off the
hook. In failing it struck the stove and
broke the light, causing the gas to es
cape and stricking Mr. Mediation in the
face. He was a mass of flames in an
instant. Prof. Smith of the high school
showed great presence of mind by thow-
ing his overcoat over his face extin
gushing the flames.

Rebuilding Necedah.

Sheboygan Press: Inside of twenty
four hours after the disastrous fire
which wiped out the business section of
Necedah, the people of that city were
talking of rebuilding and carrying on
the business just as though no fire had
occurred. That is the spirit that makes
cities. In Necedah the morning after
the fire bank was doing business in
the Congregational church, the post
office distributing letters from the q
A. R. hall and butcher shop occupied
hotel lobby. There is no question
about the future of Necedah with that
kind of spirit.

A Sensible View of the Tariff
Question.

New York World: Before the tariff
can be revised intelligently again, the
American people will have to discard
most of their parochial theories about
imports and face the issue frankly as a
great question in world economics.
The United States is now in a position
30 hold a commanding position in the
worlds trade, but it will not hold that
prohibitive duties on foreign imports.
Discriminating tariffs are game that
swo can play at. Great Britain, Ger
many, France, Russia, Italy and Japan
can erect tariff walls as easily as we
can, and unquestionably will t we try
10 close the American markets to them
can buy of us. Even Great Britain
will have to revise her revenue system
after the war in order to obtain money
30 pay interest on her debt, and in the
course of such revision it will be an
easy matter to deal a smashing blow to
American industry.
American manufacturers can retain
their trade supremacy if they are wise,
but they will not retain it if the United
States by excessive tariffs tries to hog
the trade of the world. That is the
surest way to lose it, All the tariff
laws ever enacted by Congress are now
so much waste paper. Not one Of them
is worth a cent as guide to the re-
vision of the tariff that must inevitably
result from the economic readjustment

The Schoolhouse as a Censor.

Chicago Journal: More and more in
rural districts and small towns the
schoolhouse is being used as social
and amusement center. Study of this
use brings out the unsupported but log
ical fact that the school building exerts
very effective censorship on the sort
of entertainment held within it's walls.
Men who do not care what goes on in a
local "hall' will rise in wrath against
questionable conduct in the place dedi-
Gated to their children.
Thus do good movements produce
unexpected blessings. The only censor
ship that ought to be tolerated in free
community is that exerted by an alert
and conscientious public opinion. If
the schoolhouse can rouse that opinion
to the acting point, the more it is used
the better.

One Of the DEGREES for those wishing
to follow new vogue is that the hair
at the nap of the neck must be dressed
fat The hair behind the ears conforms
to the shape Of the neck and IS worn
rather low; unless more classical head
dress is desired, then the hair of the
back is raised vertically and forms puff.
The front hair waved soft and wide,
with or without puff, always is brushed
backward.
The new jeweied couture ornaments
come in three-piecc sets consisting of
back comb. barctte and pin. An attrac-
tive set of shell, which adds an irresis-
tible contrast TO softly lustrous hair. has
a lattice design OF white enamel mounted
with rhinestones.

pins are worn amid light tresscs. A jet

Irridescent beaded bands are also most
alluring. Beaded bow knots and butter
flies show off to good advantage in the
new hair dressing styles.

American hair dressers have developed
new styles peculiarly adapted to the
American type of feminine attractive
ness. The front hair is waved and ar
ranged in a low or medium pompadour
and brought to the back A large and
subtle figure eight completes the head
dress, or just simple knot, rather low
at the back. Instead of the French roll.
This simple style of hair dressing de-
mands an ornament to add chic. The
shell dagger pins thrust through at al
most any angle do the double duty of
holding the hair as well as the hat in
place.
Large barettes constitute another val
liable accessory because they help to keep
the hair fiat and they facilitate the put
ting on of the hat and the maintaining
of neat appearance after the hat has
been removed.
Dainty curls give soft line to the
face, and make the prcttiness of the face
prettier. The curls are worn at the
crown of the head with soft marcel
wave, and may be kept in place by net
though they appear to fall loose and
gracefully.
If the hair is dressed low a cluster OF
curls nestle at the nap of the neck. The
front hair is waved slantwise softly and
parted at the side. Amid the curls is
placed one of the new question mark
pins.

BY DoRrs DALE.

Hygienically, the simple arrangement
is the best. The hair should be dressed
so it will not be pulled tightly in the
opposite direction of its growth. The
modish couture is not inclined toward
extrayagant or voluminous fashions.
Poets may enthuse about the wind
blown" tresses of milady. but in real
life the smooth polished hair is found
more attractive.
The hair net is really a necessity to
keep the short locks in place. Many
persons in dressing their own hair ar
range it too far over the brows in a
straight line across the forehead. A soft
fringe or pornpadour at some one point
helps overcome stiff effect.
The American women are ~ last be-
ginning to realize that the Lack OF her
head, the back Of her gown aud the back
of her shoes is of even greater impor!
than the front view, because she can al
ways smile and thus make people forget
her personal appearance. The use of q
hand mirror, though employed frequent
ly, should be used with greater fire.
quency to "see ourselves as others see
us"
The marcel wave is invariably becom-
ing and will not injure the hair if the
iron is not applied too hot. If the hair
is waved each time after the shampoo
it will retain its wave from one period
to the next
