ORIGIN OF THE BOB
uoDoea nair originated as a sign
of mourning.
After the fall of Louie XVI and the
end of the French monarchy with
its powder coiffures and wigs, short
hair came into vogue. A club had
been formed which reunited the
families of those who had fallen vic
tims to the guillotine. As a sign of
its new outlook and hope, this club
gave a ball at which the woman ap
peared with their hair cut and neck
shaved as a sign of mourning. This
was the beginning of new hairdresa
known as Coiffure a la Sacrifice.
And in spite of the ensuing riss
and fall of new governments with
attendant change3 in dress and hair
dress, short hair partly retained its
favor and most any event was likely
again to make it the ruling fashion.
This event came after Napoleon's re
turn from Egypt. Napoleon himself
had his hair cut very 6hort and his
soldiers did likewise. So when they
returned to France with the glamor
of service, this style of hairdress was
immediately imitated by wem and
women all over France.
In a similar manner, short hair
came into vogue again after the war
in our time. American nurses in
France found it more practical in
their work at the front to have short
hair, which fashion was soon imi
tated every where. To women it be
came the cymbol for everything
"American?' just as the "Charlie
Chaplin" mustache was to men.
Of late years bobbed hair has be
come more than a style. It has or
dered almost on a mania. Women
have spent millions of dolars having
their hair permanently waved and
cut In the latest fashion. But the
fad hr.s passed the peak of its vogue
and long hair will soon be the pre
vailing custom.
:o:
LOOK IN THIS MIRROR
Is this world getting better? Look
Into its mirror, which is the news
paper. Consider the improvement of
its news column, in the things they
include, and of its advertising col
umns, in the things they leave out.
So many things are now news
which the editor of a generation ago
would have rejected a3 beyond the
interest or knowledge of his read
ers foreign news, art and musical
news, archaelogical discoveries (in
other words, King Tut and dino
saurs) science, religion, education
all these are treated with a fullness
indicating a recognition of the wider
intellectual interests of readers.
Even the "Sunday Sup" contain
an increased admixture of intelli
gent features. If there is still sen
sationalism, it less "yellow" than its
predecessors; if some things are said
plainly which used to be suggestive
ly insinuated, that is at least more
frank.
And in the advertising columns,
indecent advertising is gone and
fraudulent and deceptive advertis
ing is going. Quack doctors have
nearly disappeared and quack medi
cine grows constantly less.
Blackmailing collection agencies
are unknown; get-rich-qulck specu
lations are largely banned; there is
of course no liquor or saloon adver
tising; and there 13 a ban on bogus
"bankrupt sales" and an immensely
coccemrcial advertising.
Berate the newspaper all you like.
They doubtless need It still. But be
fore you praise too much the "good
old times" when editors called each
other liars and thieves and made part
of their living from obscene and
fraudulent advertising look up
6ome old nies, to remind yourself
what they were like.
:o:
A Philadelphia man sneezed a
steel file from his nasal tubes that
had been there for twelve years. It
it time to get out of the way when a
man commences walking around In a
circle with his head up in the air
and his mouth open like he wanted
to sneeze.
:o:
Most every boy has a distinct re
membrance of the days when he used
to hurry through his wood chopping
or garden hoeing in order that he
might take his reed fishing pole and
home-made line, with a can of earth
worms down to the slow-moving
creek for a few hour's session with
the bream and perch. Well, the
beauty of it is those days are here
now, and the boy of today and the
boy of yesterday have the same fever
in his bones and the same old long
ing for the creek.
ELECTRIFIED FARMS
Only two and one-half per cent of
the farms of the United States have
electric service. Nevertheless, the
department cf agriculture says elec
tricity is already supplying more
farm power than is supplied by gaso
line engines. Some of it is received
from central stations. Many farm
homes have individual generation
plants.
This means much in better light
ing for house and farm buildings, in
the opportunity for the farm wife to
use labor-saving machinery and for
the farm hubsand to have improved
equipment in many phases of his
work.
It -is partly the use of electricity,
along with the gasoline engine and
other up-to-date equipment, that hr.s
enabled the American farmer today
to produce three times as much per
man as was produced with the meth
ods of 1S50. The power available
to every farm worker is now esti
mated at 4.6 horsepower as against
1.5 horsepower 75 years ago.
Undoubtedly the per cent of farms
using electricity will not long remain
as low as it stands today. It will be
a happy day for the farmers and for
the whole country when electricity
is available in every farm commun
ity. :o:
A BIG PROBLEM
A birth control convention has met
and adjourned. Its members took it
very seriously. The rest of us were
shocked, amused or indifferent.
Reallj for us, there are more inter
esting things on which to hold con
ventions. But not for most of the world.
For the major part of the human
race, exactly this question over
shadows every other problem of life.
Japan found it easy to adopt west
ern civilization, but it is still stag
gered by the problem of an oriental
birth rate and an occidental death
rate.
No other civilization is thinkable
for China than the present one, in
which everything is done the hard
est way, to make Jobs for more peo
ple, and the surplus is kept down by
starvation and pestilence, so long as
the present birth rate continues.
We can teach these people every
thing we know, of science, of indus
try and of organization, but it is all
useless and meaningless while popu
lation crowds the limit of bare sub
sistence. It would be biologically
possible to populate America with 1
billion people In two or three gener
ations.
It would be sociologically impos
sible, even for us. to maintain any-thinp-
hut a Chinese civilization If
we did.

Achievement Day For Hot
Lunch Club
Miss Hoover's Hot Lunch club,
near South Bend, gave a fine pro
gram to the patrons of the district,
consisting of club songs, readings,
demonstrations on packing the scholo
lunch and setting the table. This
club has completed four years of
club work. The following received
third year pins: Olive Bricker, Freda
Schuelke and Lois May Funk. Fourth
year pins were earned by Marion
Kellogg, Rolla Bricker and Nelda
Funk. The teacher, patrons and club
work deserve much credit for the
condition of the school building. One
derives pleasure from visiting a rural
school like this one.
Sweet Clover
George Althouse of Eagle cut 20
tons of hay off of 18 acres of sweet
clover. He threshed the last crop
for seed. Seventy-two bushels sold
for 6c to Sc per pound, seed from
one acre bringing $24. Hay was
stacked in the field, cattle eating en
tire stack. Frank Cook of Alvo had
fourteen acres on which he kept 140
sheep, IS head of cattle and three
horses.
Baby Beeves
Mr. McMahon's Baby Beef club, of
Eagle, has tome fine calves, two
Herefords, one Angus, one ' Gallo
way and two Shorthorns. The mem
bers are David Moreland, Harold
Wall, George Youngberg. Clifford
Jacobsen and Keith and Floyd Alt
house. Clean Up the Poultry House
The "spring clean up" will not be
complete until the poultry house has
been cleaned thoroughly. To make
a thorough Job of it, the agricul
tural college suggests that all re
movable fixtures should be taken
out. If the floor is of dirt the top
six inches should bo removed and
new dirt from a place not liable to
have been contaminated by poultry,
put in.
Whitewashing Is effective in
brightening up the interior, but for
getting rid of parasites as mites and
for disinfecting purposes, stronger
mixtures (though not necessarily
more expensive) should be used such
as waste oil from the auto or tractor
mixed with equal parts of kerosene
or one pint of crude carbolic acid to
one gallon of kerosense. If possible
apply with a spray pump so that the
mixture reaches every crack and
crevice in which mites or- disease
might be lurking. If a spray pump
is not available use an ordinary
whitewash brush covering every
square inch of space. Painting the
roosts and nests with a good pre
servative or creosote is insurance
against mites. It may be this will
be the time to discard the old fash
ioned sloping roosts and put in a
dropping board and horizontal
roosts.
Clean Clothes Before Storing
Soiled garments are more attrac
tive to moths than clean ones. For
this reason the agricultural college
advises that before putting winter
clothes away for the summer they
should be thoroughly brushed and
aired and all spots cleaned.
Arthur Brisbane says the illness
of Babe Ruth is big news because
the stories will interest children, to
whom the home run king is a hero,
and they will interest men with the
brains of children. It seems to us
Arthur was making a miserable at
tempt to be cute. If he thinks base
ball appeals only to men with the
brains of children, he had better
quit writing for the American people
long enough to acquaint himself
with their tastes. Ve go to games
ourselves and enjoy the pop and
peanuts extravagantly.
