The decree has just been issued by the
Philadelphia and New York Hairdress-
ers Association debating the style for
correct coiffures for the fall and winter
season.
The accompanying cuts, showing modes
OF arranging milady's tresses, are concrete
evidence that the pendulum has swung
in an entirely opposite direction from the
prevailing effects OF last season, which
were distinctive for complete exposure
of ear and hair sleeked back into a tiny
twist resembling a dinner bun and off,
cially called French twist"
The marcel wave, according to Miss
Denney, of Denney a Denney, is un-
usually good. The ears are TO be covered
by the hair drawn gracefully over them,
exposing only the lobe, and arranged in
the back In loose-waved knot.
For afternoon wear the ARRANGEMENT OF
the back of the hair may consist of a
cluster of Psyche curls, which MIss Dem

bling the puffs of a few years ago. These
may number seven or eight, The whole
couture is given n finishing touch by n
brilliant pin or comb, as shown In the

The evening coiffure shows the hair ar
ranged higher on the head, the effect OBJ
tanned by the loose waved knot.
There is an absence of the grotesaue
'scroled" designs framing the face This
effect has been supplanted by a soft
graceful arrangement of hair over the
forehead and about the ears.

FIGHTING AT THE FRONT:
WOMEN'S GALLANTRY IN WAR
Patriotic Girls, Who, Arrayed in Uniform, Disguise
Themselves as Men, Fight in the Trenches Until
Discovered and Sent Home
By ELLEN ApAIR

Ing fact about women fighters is their
very tender years Most of them are be-
tween IL and IS years OF age, and quite a
number have run away from school or
from home In order to enlist. In the RUS
sian army, especially. they have shown
M nsashincent ,, courage under FIRE. and many
OF them have been decorated with the
famous Cross of st. George, only given
for great bravery and heroism.
One charming little Russian girl called
Nassili was discovered in rather a hunor-
Gus way She had been given the coveted
cross for conspicuous valor. and after Sc
we're lighting had gone TO sleep in a barn
with some of her COMPANIONS.
During the night there was n loud
scream of Mamma, there's a rat % from
the brave Vassili. and much TO the aston
ishment of the soldiers, the supposed
young man burst into very feminine tears,
and at last had to be treated for hysterla'
1t then transplred that she had run away
from home with her sweethearts papers,
under desperate longing to fight for her
beloved country-a wish which was amply
fulfilled.
However. she was eventually persuaded
TO become sister of mercy in a Red
Cross hospital. where I understand that
she Is still doing splendid work.
Another heroine OF the present war is
pretty little French girl, Marie Louise
Dubois. Her sweetheart had been brought
back to her home mortally wounded and
she had gone into the firing line In his
place. her identity, of course, not being
discovered.
There was a magnificent charge but the
standard-bearer fell, and the French line
began to waver uncertainty. An in
stants hesitation would have been fatal
but, with shout of encouragement; little
Marie rushed forward and picked up the
flag, leading her 1ance's regiment to VIC
tory.

RUSSIAN INFLUENCE SEEN

AUTUMN is the time
"A for fashion shows,

an alarming number of
novelties, all different.

almost impossible to set
down one particular
style as the standard.
In tailleurs, for in
stance, there are long,
fur-trimmed Russian
coats, like those OF last
season. and the short,
chic jacket, also fur
trimmed, Is equally fav-
ored.
One thing may be
said. however. with en-
phasis, regarding the
fall and winter fash

extreme and welcome
simplicity. There are
no more freakish fash

THE RURAL PRESS THE COUNTY FAIR
BY Peter Padford

The farmer gets more out of the
fair than anyone else. The fair to a
city man is an entertainment; to
farmer it is education Let us take a
stroll through the fair grounds and
linger moment at few of the points
Of greatest interest. We will first
visit the mechanical department and
hold communion with the worlds
greatest thinkers
You are now attending congress Of
the mental giants in mechanical sci
ence OF all ages. They are addressing
you in tongues of iron and steel and
in language mute and powerful tell an
eloquent story of the worlds progress.
The inventive geniuses are the most
valuable farm hands we have and
they perform an enduring service to
mankind. We can all help others for
brief period while we live, but it
takes a master mind to tower into the
realm of science and light torch of
progress that will illuminate the path
way of civilization for future genera
tions. The men who gave us the
sickle, the binder, the cotton gin and
hundreds OF other valuable inventions
work in every field on earth and will
continue their labors as long as time
Their bright intellects have conquered
death and they will live and serve
mankind on and on forever, without
money and without price. They have
shown US how grand and noble it is
to work for others; they have also
taught us lessons in economy and eff
ciency how to make one hour do the
work of two or more; have length
ened our lives, multiplied our
opportunities and taken toll off the
back of humanity.
They are the most practical men
the world ever produced. Their in.
ventions have stood the acid test Of
utility and efficiency. Like all useful
men. they do not seek publicity, yet
millions of machines sing their praises
from every harvest field on earth and
as many ploWs turn the soil in mute
applause Of their marvellous achieve
ments.

4JRAL SOCIAL CENTERS

We need social centers where our
young people can be entertained,
amused and instructed under the di-
rection OF cultured, clean and COM
petent leadership where aesthe ic
surroundings stir the love for the
beautiful, where art charges the at.
mQsphere with inspiration and power,
and innocent amusements instruct
and brighten their lives.
To hold our young people on the
farm we must make farm life mora
attractive as well as the business Of
farming more remunerative. The
school house should be the social unit,
properly equipped for nourishing and
building character. so that the lives Of
our people can properly function
around it and become supplied with
the necessary elements Of human
thought and activity.

The Local Paper a Most Useful
Agency on the Farm-The Press,
Pulpit and School a Trinity of
lnfuercc Th-t Must Be
Utilized in 1uiluing
Agriculture.
by Peter Radford
y wv ''"H'VTH
Lecturer National Farmers Union


A broad campaign of publicity on
the subject of rural life is needed in
this state today to bring the problems
of the farmers to the forefront The
city problems are blazoned upon the
front pages of the metropolitan dali
les and echoed in the country press,
but the troubles of the farmers are
seldom told, except by those who
seek to profit by the story, and the
glitter of the package ofttimes OBJ
scures the substance, A searching in.
Vestigation into the needs of the
farmers will reveal many inherent de-
fects in our economic system that can
be easily remedied when properly un-
derstood and illuminated by the pow
er of the press.
The rural press, the pulpit and the
school are a trinity of powerful in
fuences that the farmer must utilize
to their fullest capacity before he can
occupy a commanding position in pub
hc affairs These gigantic agencies are
organized in every rural community
and only await the patronage and CO
operation of the farmers to fully de-
velOp their energy and usefulness.
They are local forces working for
the best interests of their respective
communities. Their work is to build
and their object is to serve. They
prosper only through the development
and prosperity of the community.
Every farmer in this state should
subscribe for the local paper as well
IS farm periodicals and such other
publications as he may find profitable,
but he should by all means subscribe
for his local paper, and no home
should be without 1t. The local paper
Is part of the community life and the
editor understands the farmers prob
lens. It is the local press that will
study the local problems and through
It's columns deal with subjects of most
vital Importance to local life of the
community.

The Power of Advertising.

The influence Of advertising is clear
y visible In the homes and habits Of
the farmers, and the advertising col
umns of the press are making their
imprint upon the lives of our people.
The farmer possesses the things that
are best advertised.
The farmer is entitled to all the
advantages and deserves all the tux
uries OF life We need more art, sci
snce and useful facilities on the
farms and many homes and. farms
are we'll balanced in this respect. but
the advertiser can render a servire

e0uipment throughout the columns Of

A Noble Task.

In too many instances the country
papers mimic the city press BY CIV
ing prominence to scandals, accidents
and political agitation. The new
rural civilization has placed upon the
rural press renewed responsibilities,
and enlarged possibilities for useful
ness. 1t cannot perform its mission
to agriculture by recording the frail-
ties, the mishaps and inordinate am.
bitiOns of humanity or by filling its
columns with the echoes of the strug.
giles OF busy streets, or by enchanting
stories of city life which lure our
children from the farm.
It has a higher and nobler task.
Too often the pages of the city dailies
bristle with the struggle of ambitious
men in their wild lust for power, and
many times the flames of personal
conflict scar the tender buds Of new
civilization and illuminate the path
way to destruction. The rural press
Is the governing power of public senti-
ment and must hold steadfast to
principle and keep the ship of state
in the roadstead of progress. The
rural press can best serve the inter-
ests of the farmers by applying its
energies to the solution of problems
affecting the local community 1t
must stem the mighty life current
that is moving from the farm to the
cities, sweeping before it a thousand
boys and girls per day. 1t has to deal
with the fundamental problems of
civilization al their fountain head Its
mission is to direct growth, teach eff
fciency and mold the intellectual life
of the country placing before the pub
lie the daily problems Of the farmers
and giving first attention to the leg
islative cooperative educational and
social needs of the agricultural classes
within its respective community.
