THE SEMLWEEKLY TRIBUNE. NORTH PLATTE, NEBRASKA. """ 'I mm . - - -hr r -. Graceful' Lines in a High Coiffure ATTENTION TO POULTRY IN THE SCHOOLS T r i GERMANY'S AMBASSADOR TO AMERICA T" v T NO ONE single style dominates In colftures just now, although the Fiench twist may bo said to hold the lead In popular favor. It does this by vlrtuo of Its novelty and not becauso It can lay claim to being a becoming arrangement. Except when the hair Is waved and the twist made very soft and rather close to the head its out lines are too severe for any but very youthful faces. A becoming colffuro Is shown In the picture given here. It Is also one of the easiest to arrange. To dress It tho hair is loosely waved all about tho head and the front portion parted off. Tho back hair is combed to tho top of the crown and twisted into a soft knot or puff at this posi tion. The hair at tho center of tho fore head is combed back, but bo loosely confined that a strand is brought down over tho forehead and pinned with small wire pins so that it forms a soft, light puff in this position. In order to make tho hair at tho sides stand out softly from the face It is to be supported by small pads of cropo hair or very Bhort and small hair rolls. It can bo kept in position by "fluffing" it; but this process in jures tho hair finally and.it is much better to use the supports, which are very light and easily pinned In. The hair is combed loosely back over the supports and pinned in at The Popular Effects in Veilings rllU now veilings that aro popular nro those that are simple in de sign. They consist of a novelty mesh, with border of chenlllo dpts, or all over effects of dotB on a Hho mesh It is in the management of these two features, thu mesh and tho dot, that tho designers hno made tho wonderful variety in patterns that nro shown in veiling departments. It happens that different sizes and shapes in tho mesh make tho e!ls mora or less becoming to the Indi vidual wcaror. It would be Impos sible to describe the varieties m which veilings are woven Nets are designed with the mesh showing out lines in squares, hexagons, circles, I dangles and every variation of those. If one studies tho dots tlioy will be found to vary as much as tho mushes In shape. There are small circular dots, squares, doublo squares, dia monds and tiny floral patterns. Also there are combinations of tlieso on the same mesh, in unending variety. Veils aro worn in threo widths. In tho larger cities just now tho nose veil is best liked It is usually of plain mesh bordered with chenille dots, "dots," of course, Including all each side of tho knot at tho crown. Hero the ends nro rolled into Bmall puffs and pinned at either sldo of tho knot. These puffs fill In tho break between tho knot and tho hair at each side. The result Is a colffuro of graceful lines and simple and taste ful arrangement, v A very good way for diossing thin hair has been devised with tho aid of a small hair roll or supports of crepe hair. The hair must be frizzed or combed about the face by dampening and doing up on crimping pins or braiding It in tight, small braids over night. When It is combed out In tho morning tho stray straight ends are curled about tho face villi tho curling iron. All the hair Is combed back over a small hair roll, forming a low pompa dour. It is tied at tlio back rather low on tho crown and separated Into four or five strands. These are rolled Into puffs and pinned across the back of the head. Thin hair is rather difficult to keep In place and a hair net I3 brought over this colffuro and fastened In many places with Invisible pins. It is left very loose across tho fore head when the hair is arranged in a short sido part, a dip, or in any lino about tho face thut best bocomes the wearer. In this style no extra pieces of hair nifc used, but the hair roll as a support Is an essential. Tho colf furo will not bo a success without it. the figures mentioned The mibu M'll extends Iroin the hat to the tip of tho noso and is worn wit'i turbans and toques Long ella, like tliOFe shown in the picture, are bordered with a lace pat tern at tho edge and worn with either smnll or large hath Except when bordered with ciepe ami worn for mourning, they are thrown back off tile face. The face veil, reaching iroin the hat to tho chin, remains tho best liked, generally, of all veils. It Is an inconspicuous affair this season, but ulmost indlspeiibable It keeps the hair about the edge of the faco be low tho hat In place und adds to tho neat appearanco of Its wearer Veils should bo tried on and the most becoming mesh or arrangement of dots selected b each iudlildual w earor.

The present reglmo Is well endowed with intellectual, serious minded and grave chatelaines. The coming of Mrs. Vrooman, who is in tellectual to a degree and tho author of books, but who Is also witty, viva cious and young enough to plunge heart and soul Into the relaxing sido of official life, augurs well tor tho winter. From the butterfly viewpoint, tho offico of the assistant secretary of ag riculture has been negligible. Nono of Mr. Vrooman's predecessors took tho slightest Interest In tho social amenities, beyond figuring with the head of the department on solemn oc casions like New Year's receptions or the coming of learned bodies to hold congresses or consultations. Mrs. Vrooman has been reared in the social atmosphere, and she knows Washington as well as a native and she knows all tho capitals of Europe as well. Her family has long been on terms of Intimacy with Secretary of State and Mrs. Hryan. She is tho nleco of the late Adlai Stovenson and with Mrs. Scott had tho pleasure of entertaining Mr. and Mrs. Iiryan during tho campaign when Mr. Stevenson was second on tho ticket and the friendship lias been cemented with the years. Sho is also a warm friend of Postmaster General and Mrs. Durleson and their daughters. WIFE OF AMBASSADOR TO RUSSIA &t V? w V i ').

VETERAN OF Gen. Nicholas Vlndlmirovich Ttus sky, whoso victories on the Austrian border, including the taking of hem berg and tho capture of many thou sands of Austrian soldiers in an ad vance remarkable for Its quickness, have given him the nlcknamo "Itussky tho Spectacular" among military writ ers, was already known when ho en tered upon this campaign. That repu tation ho won In tho Itusso-Turkish war und In tho war with Japan.

In tho Held ho won distinc tion enrly, becoming colonel at thirty ono and major general at forty-two His achievements In tho Husso-Turk-Ifih war marked him for a high posi tion In tho next campaign, and at tho beginning of tho .Inpanoso war ho wn-j appointed chief of staff In tho Second Manchurlan nrmy.

To plnco Germany's part in tho present war in a fitting light beforo tho American peoplo is tho task un dertakon by Cornt von llemstorff German ambassador to tho United Statos. Tho count Is untiring In this duty Ho cut short his summer vacation at Newport and in order to bo in closci touch with great Amerlcnn news sources has opened a temporary em b.issy in a New York hotel. About ovory third day lie runs down to WushriRton to visit tho state depart ment and to discuss with officials va rious situations that arise through tho war.

The ILmtlflHHiirinr a fnnil ,f a.intnl To be tho wife of an umbassador to Russia, where tho court llfo Is said by many to be tho most splendid In tho world, and then, when the bags are packed and everything is ready, to find ono'n self marooned with but faint hope of Immediate departure, is, to say tho least, disconcerting. Thut Is tho predicament of Sirs. George T. Maryo of Washington, D. C, wife of th newly-nppolnted ambassa dor to tho court of the cznr. Mrs. Maryo is in Washington, her court dress in Pails and between her and her court dress and her final destina tion aro sovoral thousand miles of water, which (at the time of wilting) no ship seems anxious to traverse.

JAPANESE WAR thr una - f., M Sill I' '$?& ' ks SWm A Fine Flock of During tho past few years sovernl of tho states have had under consid eration tho question cif Including in tho regular courses a branch dovoted to poultry culture. Tills has boon mot with favor in some parts of 'tho coun try, but tho idea has not boon tried out enough yet to provo whether or not it will bo of value to tho pupils. It should bo understood, however, that the main purposo of such coursos is to benefit only thoso who Intend to go Into fanning (or poultry farming) upon completion of their school edu cation. Tho gonornl plan Ib to includo such 0 courso In tho last two years of tho pupils' grammar school education. Ily tho tlmo that tho pupils havo reached thoso grades It Is presumed that thoy aro ready to absorb tho more material things of life and to more readily reap tho benefits from such a course. There is ono plnco, however, In tho schools whoro poultry Is not receiving tho proper amount of attention. This Is in tho rural schools, whoro tho prac tice of poultry keeping should bo taught to every pupil In tho school and should form a part of tho regular courses and an important one, too. Wo can rendlly understand that all tho teachers In theso school have all that they can do to koep up tho regu lar work of tho pupils. Tho' plan given below, however, if started with tho light idea in tho minds of thu pupils, will not result in any more work on tho part of tho teacher other than a careful watch on tho progress of tho "contest." Interest in tho work may bo lost at times and this is tho only thing that tlio teacher will havo to watch to avoid any lagging and to koep the pupils keyed up to tho proper point of interest in their work. In tho first place, tho matter should bo taken up with tho entlro school and tho proposition put up to them. They should bo told that tho schomo TASK OF RAISING PHEASANTS Birds Are Farmers' Friends aa They Live on Insects and Weeds Ringnccks Are Hardy. . ningneck pheasants aro very hardy; they live In zero weather In an open Held without shelter, and each hen nvorages elghty-flvo eggs a season. Eggs aro hatched and raised by chickens, and tho birds maturo in six months. They weigh about three pounds at maturity, aro freo from most diseases, and Hvo on one-tenth of the amount required by chickens. Pheasants aro farmers' friends; thoy llvo on insects nnd weed seeds. Pheasant eggs hatch In about twenty threo days, and tho birds sell at a dollnr a pound In market. Thoy aro much euslor to raise than chickens. Every law for tlio protection of gamo should mnko It lawful to keep in enp tivlty any bird for tho purpose of rais ing birds of that kind, ands provide that any person who hatches birds in captivity may sell, ship, or othorwiso dispose of thorn. England long ago saw tho wisdom of such laws, with tho result that 24 firms known as tho Farmer Associates were reported b tho Shooting Committee Field Sports Guild to have had in tho season of 19KI-11 In tholr raising pons 7li,000 pheasant hens, no account being niado of males DIVIDE THE CHICKEN FLOCK Where Pullets and Cockerels Are Sep arated Best Results Are Secured Keep Chicks Growing. (Ily N i:. C'UAI'IN.) Tho best results are secured if tho pullets and eockorols aro separated when eight or ten weoks old. Tho pullets must bo kept growing nnd de veloped for early laying to bring tho most profit. Early hatched pullots should begin luylng whon flvo or six months old. Unions tho cockerels nro jf exceptionally flno stock they may bo forced nnd sold ns brollere or roast ers and will often bring more per liond In enrly summer thnn they would if kept until autumn. Tho chicks should be kopt growing and develop ing from birth to snle or maturity to glvo satisfactory returns. Breed Great Layers. Wo must romombor that tho laying non is tho paying hen; thut after a lion hns Inld enough eggs to pay for her keep for tho year, thon all tho eggs sho produces will bo on tho profit sldo of tho ledger. So It stands us in hand to breed for tho grent layerB. U can bo and Is being done VVhlto Leghorns. is to nllow two groups of pupils encb to havo a pen of about six hens nnd a rooster. If thero aro eight grades Id tho school, tho grades would bo (IV vided equally so that tlio First, Third, Fifth nnd Seventh grades would have ono pen nnd tho Second, Fourth, Silt and Eighth griideB would havo tho other pen. A small prlzo of somo kind would bo orfored to tho group whosu pon mndo the best showing during tho school term, it being understood thai each group would havo entlro chnrgfl ot tho birds in their pon nnd would tako caro of them. Ono of tho oldci pupllB would bo appointed to keep track of tho eggs laid and of tin? money spent for feed for each pen Cheap colony houses could bo builj for tho pens and they should bo Bepa inted from each other so that tho hen from ono pen would not go into th! other houso to Iny. Tho teacher could sco that sensible coops wcro built for tho birds nnd after tho contest was started all that would havo to bo donu would bo to hear tho weekly reportB from each pon. In order that com petition Bhould be kept up among tho classes, theso reports would bo read at tho closo of school each Friday bj tho person montloncd nbovo (ni pointed to koep record of tho peim). If the Idea of such a contest proved popular vlth tho pupils, it Is probable that tho parontB of somo of them would bo glad to loan them tho chick cub to enrry out tho contest. It is also probablo that tho eggs receivou from tlio pons could bo taken to town by some of tho older people, nnd tho feed purchased by them as well. Tho financial part of tho proposition, how ever, should bo loft with tho pupils, nnd it would bo necessary for them tu first ralso a small fund for tho cost ol food und tho necessary lumber un less thoy aro fortunate enough to so euro a couple of largo packing boxes, which would bo good enough toanswei all purposes for such small flocks. FEED FOR DUCKS AND GEESE Ono of Best Rations for Winter lo Bran, Shorts and Corn Meal, Mixed With Vegetables. (By C u. urtpWN.) Geese and ducks nro very slmllni in tholr hnblta of eating. Somo rocoin mend feeding tho grain whole, but we prefer feeding It ground, especially In winter, ns this enables ub to mix tho green feed with it. Bran, shorts and corn meal or barley meal, equal parts by weight, mixed with clover leaves or bollod vegetables, 1b ono of tho very best rations for vlntor. Milk mixed with it improves it greatly. Wo havo secured fairly good results from feed ing boiled roots, BhortB and milk, but tho addition of small amount of grain gives bettor results. For summer feodlng tho geoso require nothing but good pasture while tho ducks do wel if fed whole grain onco a dny In water if rapid growth 1b not desired. Don't feed cut green bono to grow ing chickens. Grit should be supplied tho fowls al all tlmos, as it aids digestion. Don't lot the littlo chicks out in the wet grass until they ure woll feathered out. Get the rooster all out of tho way Yurd them by themselves for tho next six mouths Tho feed hopper should bo plaud at least six Inches from tho lloor, so that tho hens cannot easily scratch dirt or litter in it. Like tho dead hen, tho rotten egg should bo burial or burned nnd not al lowed to pioclalm lta rottenness any moro widely than necessary. How about moving the chicken coops to tho cornfields? Tho fowls will cut olf scoios of buga and worms and not hurt tho corn a particle. It will bo a good plan If tho old hiim cun run In tho orchard or corn fUild tho rest of thp season, whoro there two 'otB of bugs and worms to destroy, Dry forest leaves form an excellent nrtiolo for putting in tho poultry scratching shed, and mako a flno fir. tillzer for tho fields after being used KTNffil
