The Country Girl

From all over the country the com
plant comes that the boys and girls
are leaving the farms and small towns
more than ever before, and going to
the cities, tempted by wages offered in
factories
Many observers believe that if you
can keep the girls contented in their
rural homes the boys will stay there
too.
The following suggestions are made
by student of girl life in country
towns, as to how they can be firmly
located and attached to rural life
Bring them up in good school,
under teachers who were country girls
and love country life
give them little enterprises of
their own, by which they can have their
own spending money. Let them have
chickens, a garden, one or two pigs, or
anything which they can raise and
study, and thereby become interested
in the problem of farm production
keep improving the home a little,
so they will be proud of it, and help
them fix up attractive rooms them
selves
4-Teach them how to make for
themselves attractive and stylish
clothes, so that they will not feel
ashamed of themselves and their coun-
try lfe when they meet their city
cousins.
5-Encourage them to take up ma
ture study, so that they will love the
beauty of rural surroundings.
Encourage the young people of
the town to have regular dances and
entertainments, so they will have self
confidence, and so that their home life
will not seem dull.
Give them a chance to learn
music
If country girls are brought up after
such plans, they will not get lonely and
bored and long for the white lights
They will be so bright and attractive,
that the country boys will think a long
time before separating from their So
ciety-Northfeld News.

AMERICAN RED CROSS
TO GIVE RURAL HELP
Program for Public Health and
Community Welfare Is Now
Well Under Way.

Rural communities and towns of less
than 5000 population benefit in very
large part by the public health and
community welfare work Of the Ameri-
can Red Cross. Almost all of the
$500 Red Cross chapters have some
rural sections in their territory. There
fore the Red Cross Rural Service.
Briefly, the purpose of Rural Serv-
ice is to assist people to get out of life
more health, wealth and happiness. In
this purpose public hearth instruction
and general educational progress of
both children and adults play a big
part.
Recreation is found to be one Of the
biggest needs in rural life. There is
lack Of sufficient play-life for the chill
dren and social life for the adults.
Picnics, pageants, debating clubs,
baseball leagues, community singing
and other social events which bring
the people of surrounding communities
together have been organized and car
ried on under the guidance of Red
Cross rural workers to great advan-
tage. In many instances solving rec
reational problems and getting people
together proves to be the awakening
Of the community to other conditions
which may be improved by united
action.
AS result of community organiza-
ton, townships in which there had
been neither plans nor interest in
community progress have been organ
lied to work together with the unified
purpose of bringing their community
up to the most enlightened Standards
Lecture and musical entertainment
courses have been started as a result
Of community meetings, as well as cir
culating libraries, Red Cross schools Of
instruction in Home Nursing, Care Of
the Sick and First Aid. In the larger
towns the need for restroOms and pub
lie comfort stations is being met. Play
grounds for the children have been
established and recreat1onal activities
worked out for the year.
In order that there may be concerted
effort in carrying on the programs Of
the various welfare agencies in the
rural districts, Red Cross Rural Serv-
ice helps the organizations already on
the ground. The main object of the
service is to lend a hand everywhere
and take the lead only where neces-
Sary.

RED CROSS RELIEF
IN CENTRAL EUROPE

But for timely assistance Of the
American Red Cross during the last
year, large proportion Of the 10000
600 population Of the Balkan States
might have starved or persisted from
disease or exposure. Six million doh
lars worth of food, clothing and medi-
cal supplies have been sent to the Bal
kans-Roumania, Bulgaria, Albania,
Montenegro, Serbia, Bosnia and Greece
since the beginning Of Red Cross re-
lief operations in Central Europe,
while millions Of dollars worth Of food
alone has been sent to the needy in
these states.
The money expended by the Red
Cross in this stricken portion Of Eu-
rope has been used to set up hospitals,
dispensaries, mobile medi-
cal units and to help in the general re-
construction Of devastated areas. Amer
iican tractors and other farming nipple
ments have been sent to the agricul-
tural regions where aid has been CIV
en- in blowing the land.
By the last of this year probably
all American Red Cross agencies ad-
minlstering relief in Central Europe
will have withdrawn. BY that time, it
is believed, the people will have ap-
preached a normal state OF living and
will be able through their own agencies
which the Red Cross has helped set
up to provide for themselves.

RED ARMY PRACTICALLY
WIPED OUT AT LEMBERG
Poles Set Trap and AnnihiIate General
Budenny's Cavalry Force
Few Units Escape.

Warsaw, Sep. 3.-The bolshevik
army of General Budenny, noted cav
airy leader, was annihilated during the
operations in the Lemherg sector which
began August % and ended Wednes-
day, says the Polish official statement
on military operations issued here.
Isolated detachmentS of the Bud
emmy forces succeeded in escaping and
are in disorderly retreat.
General Budenny's mounted men
had been endeavoring to,break through
the Polish lines and march upon Lub-
lin. They had nearly completed an
encircling movement against Zamosz,
midway between Lublin and Lemberg,
but were outfanked by the Poles and
attacked from the east, the communi-
cation states.
The engagement resulted in the de-
feat of the soviet forces along the en-
tire center of the front and the Rus
slams were compelled to retreat in
disorder with the Poles in close pur-
suit.
The bolsheviki lost heavily in killed
and wounded adds the statement, the
Poles capturing thousands of prison
ers, Is guns and enormous quantities
of material.
The fighting centered in the Zamosz
region, the battle taking the form Of
numerous cavalry clashes with the in
fantry filling in the gaps and alta cking
all along the line simultaneously. The
operations were carried out in accord
ance with the Polish battle plans
which had led the Russians into traps
where they were attacked from all
sides.
Besides announcing the victory of
the Poles over Budenny in the Zamosz
battle, the communique reports sue
cesses along the entire center and
southern fronts, where the Russians
were bested in the fighting.

SHOW LOCATION OF WATER
Signs on Painted Desert in the South
west Guide Travellers to the
Precious Liquid.

Travel off the beaten paths In the
famous Painted desert Of the South
west would be a dangerous matter
were it not for the stone sentinels set
up by the Navajo Indians to diYect the
stranger travelling through that coun-
try, where once there was water In
plenty, but where now are only the
dry beds of rivers.
These sentinels are piles of rocks,
as high as a man, located on rises or
ground where they may be readily
seen. In the body of the monument
is placed a projecting rock which is
arranged to point the direction to the
nearest spring or waterhole. If one
follows the direction indicated, al
though he may have to proceed a con-
siderable distance, the precious wa
ter will always be found.
Frequently it is only a very weak
seep supplying "no more than a few
cups in an hour. Or it may be pool
located deep in the recesses Of q
rocky ledge and collected from the
SHOWS of the past winter. Sometimes
it is situated in an out-of-the-way
place, and then there may be two, or
even three smaller monuments erect
ed along the route designated.
Also along the way there may be
arrows cut in the rocks or crooked
grooves symbolizing the windings Of
a brook or signs of various kinds
which will attract attention. These
directions all help to make the way
palmer and reduce the chance of the
traveller Becoming confused.

The Cockade.

The cockade, an ornament or knot Of
ribbon Or rosette of leather, was origi-
nally worn as a military or naval deco
ration or as the badge Of political
party. Cockades made of ribbons Of
the national colors were worn by sol
diers Of the national wars of the eight
eenth century. In England after the
expulsion of the Stuart dynasty the
white cockade became the badge of
the adherents of the exiled house in
opposition to the orange of Nassau and
the black of Hanover. From the hats
of the military it passed to those of
the civil servants of the crown. Then
as headgear changed the use of the
distinction was confined to servants.
The black cockade on the hats of Off
GERS servants was introduced by
George I.

months in warmer parts Of France.
At the same time five thousand little
Belgians were having a hot lunch every
day at Junior Red Cross school can

dollars for these enterprises, and they
are still hard at work
