County Fair – The young woman having the prettiest head of bobbed hair in the county, was decided yesterday. Mrs. Ethel Smith, of Fairdale, was awarded first prize. Helen Fessenden and Ruth Tyler, of Montrose, second and third respectively. The prizes were offered by tonsorial artist, Frank H. Deuel. Miss Eileen Donovan and Winifred Estus were the judges. There were a large number of bobbed heads bobbing before the judges, but Mrs. Smith’s shortened locks were described as a “knockout.”

Franklin Forks – Two large barns on the farm of Martin and Michael Kane, were burned. A bolt of lightning struck one of the structures during the severe storm and the other was ignited by blazing embers. One of the barns was used for the storage of crops and the structure, with its harvest of hay, was completely destroyed, although neighbors saved most of the movable farm machinery The other, a cattle barn, was burned completely, but the stock, being in a pasture, escaped possible cremation. The loss was a heavy one for the young men, being conservatively estimated at 6 or 8 thousand, and only partially covered by insurance.

Great Bend – The Scranton Times alleges that Great Bend has a speed trap for autoists. It claims that officers have been imported and that they work on a “commission basis.”

Montrose – Dr. Charles Decker will celebrate his 80th birthday anniversary on Sept. 28th. Dr. Decker has probably covered more miles of country roads, by horse, in relieving sickness than any physician living in the county. It has also been said of the genial “old country doctor” that if he now had the money due him by parties he had treated and which, out of the kindness of his heart, he had “crossed off his books,” he would today be on “Easy Street.” Each year, scores of friends remember the aged physician with kindly tokens of remembrance.

Dimock – The large dam on the farm of E. O. Bailey is now being repaired to hold water to fill the large ice house, with ice, when winter comes. It supplies the Janssen creamery.

Uniondale – Neil, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. N. Cable, has entered Temple University, Philadelphia. He is a graduate of Uniondale and Carbondale high schools.

Springville - E. C. Ely died at his home on Tuesday of last week and was buried Thursday in the Lynn cemetery, aged 91 years.

Clifford – Friends have received announcements of the marriage of John Snyder and Lucille Worth.

Birchardville – The Dayton and Birchard cousins held a corn roast, at Geo. Dayton’s, in honor of the Sealmyer cousins from Cincinnati.

Forest City – Miss Susan Timko was instantly killed and Helen and Anna Kershnak, Catherine Brasso, Anna Antoinyak and Prof. Herbin, all members of the choir of St. John’s Greek Catholic church, of this place, were seriously injured when an automobile, driven by Andrew Starchak, turned turtle at Wilson Creek. On the level stretch near the Sample home and the Wilson Creek mule barn, Starchak sounded his horn and passed the automobile of Peter Carlson. Mr. Carlson stated to a news man that the Starchak car had barely gained the middle of the road, when he noticed that the rear wheels were sliding and the car began to careen from side to side, then skidded completely around and overturned. It is reported that Starchak was arrested on a charge of involuntary manslaughter. Miss Timko’s funeral was one of the largest seen in this vicinity for some time, attesting to the high esteem in which the deceased was held.

Walter Main’s Circus: It is estimated that about 4,000 persons witnessed the big circus in Montrose. There was a large crowd early in the morning and traffic policemen were kept busy directing the streams of automobiles on the main streets. The “big top” and the smaller tents were pitched on the large meadow, which is adjacent to the Lehigh Valley railroad tracks. The parade attracted thousands and the bands, wild animals, handsome horses, clowns, freaks, etc., attracted the usual wide-eyed surprise. A steam and an electric calliope added to the gayety and a herd of five elephants, tigers, lions, several camels, monkeys, wild boar, and other specimens of the jungle life were in the menagerie. The two sections of the train of 19 cars left here Sunday morning for Hazleton, where they held forth on Labor Day.

The Modern Siren: To the feminine mind a period of reconstruction has set in, and despite adverse opinion, a second milestone on the road to youth is marked by bobbed hair. It is true that there is still much to be done in the way of rejuvenation, but even the tragedy of perpetual treatment does not in any way dim the glory of what has already been accomplished. It is the voice of a new spirit. A cemetery of hair pins has been discovered recently in Chicago—30 tons covering a space 50 feet square—due to bobbed hair. The lowly hair pin, like an actor on the stage—plays its part, then disappears and is not seen again. Old age is a national calamity which stirs the feminine mind to frenzy, and the first hard blow has been struck in the cause of a common campaign—she steps on the gas and bobs her hair. There is a lot of life in the old girl yet.
