First Department to
Remit Dues for 1926

The department of Minnesota of the
American Legion is the first depart
ment of the veterans organization to
remit 1925 membership dues, 1t was
announced at national headquarters Of
the Legion at Indianapolis by National
Adjutant James f. Barton.
On August 20, 1925, Barton received

Urges Legionnaires to
Take Up Land in Utah

Father Paul Renfels, a resident
priest of Vernal, Utah, believed that
American Legionnaires would make
good homesteaders In support of that
belief he is heading a movement urg-
ing American Legionnaires of the coun-
try who are crowded in their present
abode to go to the great Uintah basin
of northeastern Utah and homestead.
The Uintah basin in Uintah and
Duchesne counties comprises 100000
acres of grazing and agricultural lands.
Father Renfels' interest in the move
ment is purely altruistic. He repre-
sents no land company nor any special
group; he has seen an opportunity to
acquaint veterans with the way to "the
great open spaces"
He declared recently: There are
plenty of these wide open spaces in
the Uintah basin and, men, there's lots.

Air Bath Is Excellent
Treatment for the Hair

An air bath, given by letting the
hair down and tanning the head with
a strong palm fan, lifting the strands
Of the hair while waving the fan, is an
excellent treatment for the hair at any
time, but especially during spring.
Should the hair appear to fall more
than is usual at this time Of the year,
supply a reliable tonic. If a good one
is used the fall should cease in a week
or ten days, and the growth will be
stimulated Some hairdressers advise
an oil "bath" for the hair at this sea-
son. This is made by mixing equal
quantities of almond l'l and olive oil.
Shampoo the hair In the ordinary way,
dry it, then pour a little Of the mixed
oils into a saucer, and with a small
sponge or pad of cotton wool dab the
oil among the roots. Allow 1t to soak
into the scalp for half an hour, then
give a good brushing with a perfectly
clean, dry brush, using a second brush
as soon as the first becomes oily.
Brush we'll for at least ten minutes,
then take an old silk handkerchief,
fold it in the form of a pad, and
brush" the hair with it. Finally give
it an air bath.

Things to Know About
Shoes and Stockings

That unusually large feet or excop-
tionally broad feet should be shod in
shoes of one color, and of an inconspic-
uous style, does not entirely dispose oe
the matter. There are too many en-
chanting models to tempt the woman
who has not made the proper study of
her foot and it's needs. And so 1t is
necessary to go into 5reate" detail. A
shoe should be chosen not only be-
cause it pleases the fancy, but also
because it pleases the intelligence with
it's suitability to the foot.
Consider the two-color shoe, which
is one shade through the back and
which is another color across the
front and toes. The main objection to
this style for a short, broad foot is
that 1t breaks the foot in two and so
makes 1t seem shorter and broader. If
the foot is very broad, then the shoe
with black front will detract in a
measure from the breadth. although
It cannot be counted upon to make the
foot seem any longer than 1t actu-
ally is.

Just then some children came along

did you know that the goldenrod is
the American national fiower?" asked
one child.
"At least, it is almost always con-
sidered so, though 1t has not been fin
ally decided upon.
"But the goldenrod is away ahead
Of all other flowers.
"You see, so many nations have flow
ers-special flowers.
England has the rose, France the
feur- de-lis, Scotland has the thistle,
Ireland the shamrock and Italy the lily
isn't 1t wonderful for us to have a
wild lower-a flower so bright and
one we can all enjoy?"
The flowers were nOdding their heads
happily now.
Were going to be the nations flow
ers," they whispered to themselves,
and to the bumblebees who came to
call ON them and sip Of their honey.
Yes what care we for money and
hothouses when the nation pays us
the honor Of thinking Of us for her
flowers p
The weeds felt proud they had been
friends Of the goldenrods, and the gold
enrods asked the humble bees to tell
all their relations as they awoke that
they must be gay and bright for they
were to be the flowers of the United
States
And that evening, just as the sun
was setting the goldenrods sang a little
in the summer breeze, and this was
their song:
We're golden, golden, goldenrods,
And we grow all over the land
We're bright and strong and sturdy
And we have our own meadow land,
The wind always whistles our little
tune,
The woodpeokers drum, drum, drum.
And the air always carries our
song for us
AS we gaily, cheerfully hum
Inc oumpIeDees DuZZ IN the chorus,
The flowers wave the time in the
breeze,
And the song Is caught up In the
branches
And sung by all of the trees.
For the meadow band you surely
have heard
In the sunny summer time.
Just listen next time you're out-of-
doors
And maybe youll too hear our

definitely kindly in its effect on the
too-long foot breaking it up as it does
into two distinct parts and so detract-
ing noticeably from the length.
There is no beauty in the short,
broad foot, and so it always should be
shod as incOnspicuously as possible.
Plated effects and mottled feathers,
as we'll as variations Of crocodile fab
RIGS, never should appear on this loot.

should have long lines rather than the

treme models. Since both are avail

to buy this second type, which does
not fatter her foot, to say the least.
In the matter of evening slippers.
unlovely feet never should step forth
in metal brocades and other such
snares for the unwary. A plain satin
slipper or one Of simple kid Is the best
choice.

THE GOLDENROD's STORY

The goldenrods were nodding their
pretty bright heads.
1--WE are like the sum-" they said,
pretty and bright and yellow"
Near them stood some weeds which
were also pretty but of course they
were not considered flowers.
IF we were In a garden or were hard
to grow they would call us handsome"
said the weeds.
We're not in a garden" said the
goldenrods, "and many people like us.
OF course there are others" continued
the goldenrods, shaking their heads
quite hard. ''who don't like anything
unless it costs money = hard, cold
money.
US growl
"They could pour those things they
call pennies and nickels and dimes
and even quarters, all over us and do
you suppose we'de grow then?
Indeed we wouldn't. They could
plant dollars all around our roots and
it wouldn't make a scrap of difference.
THAT shows how much we care for
money and the people who only like
flowers that cost great deal"
"You have almost as much sense as
though you were Weeds" said the
weeds.
We're very near to the weeds" said
the goldenrods, ''for we are called wild
flowers.

Scarf Adds Touch
to Modish Outfit
Partisan Artists Use Popu.
lar Accessory in Most
Winsome Manner.

Analysing the most artistic en-
sembles created by Partisan artists
there Is one trick that Is clever at
every turn-the scarf. In some ex

fashion correspondent In the New
York Times, 1t appears to be incon-
sp1cuous, but it really is an essential
feature, giving character to the whole
costume. The scarf the Spanish
shawl, the muff1er. have long been with
US in varying phases, but long regard
ed with apathy. Lately, however, they
nave become almost as important as
ones hat and boots, and this season
the scarf has arrived.

broidered, printed, trimmed with sway

rage for dressy occasions For eve
ming dress some such caressing touch
is indispensable, and the styles pre-
sented are as many as there are artists
OF imagination to fashion them. The
blatant Spanish colors and obvious
patterns are less seen; gentler tints
and more gracious weaves are worn
by well-dressed women.
The silk, crepe or light wool scarfs,
IN which new designs and shades are
being shown almost weekly, are adapt
ed to every gown for every season and
time Of day. Scarcely any Of the late
ensemble models are seen without a
scarf Of some sort. In some a detach-
