The National Hairdressers Associa,
ton in conference in St. Louis yester-
day has placed ban on bobbed hair.
If women follow the edict Of the as
ISOLATION bobbed hair will only be toll
Grated for sport wear but as a couture
with evening dress, it will not do, the
hair dressers say. This will be hard
blow to the barber business because
many shops have been opened exclu-
sively for the purpose Of bobbing
hair. But girls, bobbed hair is
thing of the past in correct society
circles if the St. Louis convention
stands for anything.
Lets finish the job," is a mighty
good slogan for the Independent fu-
sionists to adopt in the coming fall
campaign. With the proper manage
ment of the campaign we can clean
'em up all along the line this fall.
But in order to do that somebody
must do a lot of organization work
and commence doing that work right
away. The trouble is with the indie
pendent forces they get together in
a conference, agree to fuse and elect
a fusion ticket, then they all go to
sleep on the job while the nonparti-
sans go out in the highways and BY
ways and get busy. That is why
they always make a good showing.
They get their voters to the polls
while the other fellows go on the
theory that "George can do it." This
is no time for letting George do it 49,
it is time for every right thinking
voter to get into the game and stick
until the polls close in November.
Then we can win out handsomely.
The poll of the Literary Digest on
the prohibition question reveals the
fact that a large majority of the peo-
ple of the country-if the straw vote
can be depended upon-is against the
return of the saloon in the United
States. On the other hand the poll
shows a majority for the manufacture
and sale of light wines and beers.
The term light sounds very good but
somehow or other after the space OF
time the light stuff becomes heavy
and the first thing one knows the real
stuff is being manufactured and sold.
In other words the light wine and
beer proposition is only the entering
wedge for the wholesale breakage OF
the national prohibition amendment
and if once that is allowed there Will
be no end to trouble and prosecution
The Literary Digest poll on the bonus
question shows very close race for
and against a bonus: with the yeas on
the last 100000 ballots received hav-
ing a slight edge on the nays.
A bic bunch of Fargo business men
have been making automobile tours
around the state visiting the people
in the various towns within a radius
of a given number of miles as a sort
of friendly get acquainted tour. The
results of these trips have been so
good that the Fargo live wires have
determined to put on more tours and
are starting out again this week
stronger than ever. Many towns
have been visited and the people are
certainly appreciative Of having these
business men take a little interest IN
them, A band is taken along with
the crowd and at each town where a
stop is made a concert is given. This
is real way to get in closer touch
with the people in the neighborlng
territory and creates better and
more cordial feeling between the mer-
chants of Fargo and those people who
make Fargo big trading point. The
idea is one that we have been trying
to instill into the minds OF our own
local business men and have suggested
it to the Rotary and other clubs. 1t
would be nice thing if the Rotary
and Kiwanis clubs could unite on
tour of this kind, take the band along
and visit every town in Barnes coun-
ty, taking the ladies along and making
it a real cordial trip of closer COM
munity relationship.
Today is the day set forth for the
leaders of the government and the
strikers to try and settle the disputes
arising between, them. The country
has been suffering from these strikes
for some time and it is devoutly hop
ed today's conferences will result in
a settlement. President Harding has
drafted a proposition to be submitted
to those interested and these are the
Svo noiy,tc in his sett1em erlt scheme:
