RISE OF THE RURAL PRESS

The most remarkable feature Of American journalism
is the growth development and influence of the country
weekly newspaper and small town daily. Fifteen to
twenty-five years ago practically all of these representa-
ves of the smaller cities and towns consisted of poorly
printed sheets of local items and boiler plate Today look
at them The great majority clearly printed they
carry certain amount of the important national
and international news along with the strictly local
columns they filled with advertising; most important
they have editorial columns
= Above all this last cannot be exaggerated From mere
reporters Of town happenings they have risen to an i'm
portant possibly the most important place as leaders Of
thought and comment local. state and national prob
lens Their opinions usually well founded and nteli-
gent They sway politics. industrial and business progress
and national affairs in large way.
1t would be well for the average citizen to better ap-
precate the character and influence of the rural press
It may give him another slant the for Amer
icas unprecedented progress.

WHY WORRY?

The Democratic Press of the country has been very
much perrbed during the past few months for fear that
President Coolidge would be candidate for reelection in
1923 With the Presidents statement that he does not
choose to be candidate we wonder whom they will
worry about now any of the several possible candidates
that will be nominated at the Republican National Con-
vention will be elected and will make good President
Those that are most prominently mentioned are Her
bert Hoover, Secretary of Commerce. Frank O. Lowden
former Governor of Illinois; Charles G. Dawes, Vice Pres
dent and Nicholas Longworth Speaker of the House of
Representatives is very probable that the worry of
the Press in the future will exceed even that of the past

President Coolidge said:

Sometimes constipation does not

usually due to nervous tenseness.
which. in turn, is caused by a third
negative offense against beauty
namely, want of self.control. The
woman who has not poise or the
ability to relax is pretty sure TO suffer
from digestive disorders and TO de-
velop premature facial wrinkles. She
is underweight. too, and lacks that
type of personal magnetism that is
called charm.
A fourth form OF neglect that
slowly saps milady's youth and beauty
is lack of sufficient sleep. Dark cir
cles, baggy lower lids and duh eyes
are among the penalties nature levies
upon those who disregard the body's
need for sleep. Growing girls should
have nine or 10 hours in bed every
night, while mature women need seven
or eight hours.
People who are "too busy to take
at least a sponge bath and rundown
in the morning and a warm. cleans
ing bath at night are cheating them
selves. The stimulating morning bath
enables one to start the day full OF
energy, while the evening bath in
sures freedom from stale body odOrs.
Vivacity and personal daintiness are
thus insured by daily bathing.

CHAPTER xxx.
The Next Night.

1t happened the next night, an
other one of those perfect nights,
with the moon glittering on the
water.
At dinner Sally had been strangely
excited and couldn't exactly explain
why. Before dinner she had met
Richard in the smoking room for a
cocktail. She had worn the third Of
her new Paris dresses, the ones Myra
had bought for her.
1t was a deep rose color, embroi-
dered all over in little seed pearls
In the back 1t was cut in deep V,
showing her lovely dimpled shout
ders. A string of pearls fastened
at the top Of the bodice went up
around her neck and tied in the back,
leaving two small pearl tassels rest
ing against her velvet skin.
A sophisticated dress, but on Sally
merely provocative. She was con-
scious of the fact that her back was
half turned to Richard, and at the
table she was very gay, very viva
cious. Twice she turned her head
and met his eyes. His face was
grave, almost somber. 1t gave her a
feeling of elation to have him look
that way, and yet for the life of her
she couldn't tell why.
After dinner she went up on deck
and, muffied in a wrap, tucked her
self into her deck chair. 1t was get
ting almost too warm for q wrap
now. Each day they were moving
farther and farther south.
Myra passed with Mr.. Rigby. They
did not stop. They seemed quite abb
sorbed in each other and were to-
gether every minute, but Sally didn't
worry overmuch. She was learning
to know Myra better. Nothing was
very serious with her. She liked TO
fiirt and she liked admiration. or
course, she had discovered that Mr..
Rigby was very rich, too. She
seemed to have a faculty for learning
such things. But then Myra always
had enough to spend. Bill had
plenty of money. Sally had reached
q point in her relationship with her
sister where she no longer gave such
extravagant worship to her-where
her attitude was somewhat more
normal.
Perhaps this change was due to
her friendship with Richard Alden.
She saw him coming along the deck,
even though she did not look directly
at him. She always gave a quick look
! up and down and if she saw him, i'm
| mediately pretended to be looking at
the sea. But in that quick glance she
| took in everything. Neither sports
clothes nor dinner clothes looked the
same on other men. She adored the
way his broad shoulders sloped to his
slim waist and hips. She adored the
proud set of his head on his shoulders.
She adored the slight eccentricity of
his walk
He stopped--looked down at her.
"Star-gazing?"
Her wrap had slipped down from
| her shoulders, showing the lovely
gown beneath. Her slender foot in
| it's buckled silver slipper looked alb
| surdly small. peeping out as it did
from the froth of beaded chiffon.
He was noticing things. too. and
| registering them in his brain. Sally,
little Sally. Tonight he would tell
her!
Shall we walk a bit. eh?"

SUB ROSA
BY MIMI.
There Are Lines-and Lines.
BY MIMI.

| Every girl wants to have a good
| line. Not a day goes by but brings an
appeal from some tonguetied beauty
| for aid in formulating good, snappy
| line. It's one of the necessities OF the
present day.
The girl who can talk breeZily,
snappily, flippantly and amusingly
goes a whole lot farther than the
| dusky-eyed doll who can't think or
anything more exciting than specula-
tons about the weather.
For this reason you'll find all the
curly.haired, short-skirted damsels in
town carefully practicing snappy re-
partee on their boy friends.
More praise to them. The girl with
the best line wins. But oh. pretty
, maidens, beware Of the line that
sounds cheap-not funny.
That's the trouble. you see. Some
girls. in their effort to be smart. over
reach themselves and sound like third
rate vaudeville comedians.
You know the type: Hello, Joe.
hoW's tricks? Still working at the old
shop? They haven't fired you yet?
Gee, they must like giving away their
money.
"Whered you get the new suit-or
is it the one you had in hook all this
time? You bought it? Yeah, SOS your
old man.
well, so long. Joe, give us ring
soon-and make it platinum, please,
with a three-carat diamond. See you
in the funny papers," etc. etc.
Yes, that actually passes for knock
out comedy with some little girl
friends / know.
After holding conversation like
that they go down the street grinning
to themselves over the smart lines
they've pulled-telling themselves that
they're all there with the wisecracks.
Could anything be more pitiful? Joe,
unless he be a full-fledged dumb
bell himself, goes on his way shaking
his head sadly and rejecting that it's
too bad there aren't any brains left in
the fair sex.
You women want to get it out of
your heads that stale, conventional
wisecracks. being used on vaudeville
circuits for the ninety-thousandth
time, will make you any more popular
with the boys.
A good line is composed of real
humor, real enthusiasm for people and
things.
The girl who is brimful of interest
for all sorts of things doesn't have to
throw in q single wisecrack to make
herSelf entertaining.
She just simply reels out her en-.
thusiasm, and if she has a grain of
humor in her makeup, she's bound to
be amusing occasionally.
Good lines are founded on pep-and
lots of it.
They do not proceed from tired
minds busy from rehearsing set
speeches.
Give yourselves a chance and don't
go around memoriZing set sayings.
The cutter they are, the more likely
they are to have been heard a dozen
times.
Keep your mind fresh and active
and your line will be snappy of it's own
accord.
IN, Mimi will be glad to answer any inquiries

doing the nails. There's the merest
fraction of an inch between nails that
are ugly and long and nails that are
long but good-looking and smart. You
must have good tools to work with to
achieve the correct effect.
If you happen to have naturally
short nails, you can make them seem
longer by filing well up the sides and
keeping the point q little distance be-
yond the finger tip. If the nails are
long, don't cut them so far back at
the sides. Once you have shaped them
with the steel file, wash them and
clean under them and smooth the
rough bits away with the fine side of
an emery board. Clip the two edges
of each nail and polish each one care
| fully.

lashes out unless the hairs were ready
to fall, anyway. Try massaging the
edge of the eyelids gently and this

roots of the hairs and not irritate the

PLANNING AWEEK'S FOOD

The question as to how many times
a week it is best to serve hot bread
must be decided by the individual
family. For an average family III
normal health, ii is tacitly understood
that hot bread be served at Sunday
breakfast but not more than once or
twice beside. Spider bread served at
Sunday breakfast is a modification of
old-fashioned cornbread and one that
is always popular. If care is eXer-
cised in baking. this is usually di-
gestible bread for adults. Young
children are expected to have plain
buttered toast.
Since for several weeks we have
not served soup as frequently as
usual, soup is rather featured, al
though it is served but once in the
same day. Great care must be taken
in preparing turkey soup so that 1t
will not be of too strong and rank
a flavor. The best way to avoid this
is to let the broth get thoroughly cold
so that every trace Of fat may be re-
moved.
The main dish for two dinners is
a combination of meat and vege
| tables. Both Irish stew and chicken
pie contain a number of vegetables
and this point must be kept in mind
when planning the rest Of the meal
| While there is a vegetable soup
served at the dinner where Irish stew
is the chief attraction, the only other
vegetable TO appear at that meal is a
salad of shredded raw cabbage. In
the case of chicken pie, slightly
greater variety of vegetables appears
on the menu. but this is optional. II
the housekeeper prefers to introduce
for example, potatoes, carrots ano
onions into the little pies, then she
may omit the potato cakes and the
okra from her meal plan.
