Movie Stars Set Styles and Keep
Country People Posted on the Newest
II is an interesting thing TO observe
how the moving pictures are keeping
the people in country towns posted on
the newer styles and how they now
adopt them as soon as their city
ir ends.
Before the advent Of the moving
picture those people VINO lived in the
country whose duties kept them tied
so they couldn't get to the C ~ to do
their shopping were sometimes back
numbers regarding up.to-the-minute
styles. They more or less depended
on the city friends who visited them
in the summer and by that time they
were we'll supplied and therefore wore
the older styles Since there is a
moving picture theatre in nearly
every district now, there is a marked
change IN the dress OF the country
people for they see always the newest
of thinks on the movie stars and so
when the seasons for purchasing new
clothes come. immed ately they think
of some pretty frock worn by some
movie fayorite and find the similar
style in their country stores or else
send away to the city for it No long
er can the merchant buy passe stock
and sell { as the seasons newest for
he has discovered that if he cannot
supply Their wants then they don't
buy
In fact even those in tne cities are
governed more than they realize by
the creations affected by those whom
they admire on the screen and this Is
not confined to the female sex either.
A writer to a trade journal tells of
being in clothing store at Cumber'
Land. Md and OF hearing high
school youth ask the clerk If he had
any ties like a certain star wore in a
film being shown at one of the towns
cinema houses After he had depart
ed the clerk told the wrt ter that such
injuries were frequent and included
practically every article Of wearing
apparel and that the inquiries were
not confined to youths but few oI
their fathers tried to initiate the
screen make-ups too.

ELECTRIC COOKING
Demonstration Given by Mrs. Sumner
Before FortnehtIy.

The demonstration Of electrical ap-
pliances which was held Saturday az.
ternoon at High school hall greatly
interested an audience which nearly
filled the hall.
Mrs Millard Sumner, who at one
time Travelled for the Westinghouse
company lecturing on the use Of the
electric range, prepared and cooked
a complete meal. Mrs. Sumner first
explained in a most efficient manner
the proper use OF the stove and then
the foods TO be cooked were inspected
by the audience and placed in the
two ovens where they were cooked
for one and one haf hours. The
foods cooked, were roast beef sur
rounded by potatoes, carrots and
onions in the large over and turnip,
canned peas, rice and rhubarb in
the small oven.
While the dinner was cooking Mrs.
Sumner answered many questions CON
cerning the range and explained the
use Of some Of the other electrical
appliances. The ovens were then
opened and the perfectly cooked din
ner was again passed about for OBJ
servation. The most interesting
feature Of the range is perhaps the
automatic adjustment whereby one
may place meal in the range, leave
home for any length of time and feel
sure that If the a'arm clock has been
set, it will alarm, and turn on the
electric current and the meal will be
ready for serving at the proper time.
The cost Of cooking the meal on
Saturday was a little less than 5
cent?
There we're interesting displays OF
all kinds Of e'eetric appliances eX-
hibited by the several electric con
tractors. The Twin state, w. H. Me

the auspices Of the Fortnightly club.

is safe to predict that the electric

spin a little faster in the future
