Well, l laugh when | get the News
until my old fat sides shake sometimes.
Say did you ever notice how easy it
is to detect the writing of a gal in
lover They just can't conceal it to
save their life Well, that's right gals.
Love moves the world. It's natural
born gift and one of the greatest. 1t is
said music charms the world but love
not only charms but moves it. You
have heard it said "Get move on
yourself. No gal can love without
getting move on herself and its ditto
with the boys. Did you ever notice
how much neater and nicer girl will
fix herself when she has a sweet heart
and boy is the same2 l have. When
young | used to court all the gals ar
ound to keep them merry and make
them primp up and they will certainly
bet peck of wild crab apples that
those girls over at Roope spend good
portion of their time thinking about
the boys and ditto the boys. You see
young folks, l have been beau and
lover myself and I used to long for
Sunday to come so could go and see
the girls. Gee whiz, what nice time
/ would have! Why just loved the
girls fit to kill. 1t was a sight.
And kinder like them yet. / don't
believe feller ever gets too old to not
like a nice pretty girl. I'm past so
and | think just as much of a pretty
woman as ever, but sometimes | scold
them, but I've long since learned that
no woman can stay mad solid week.
They amt built that way but fool
man amt got sense enough to get
in a good humor unless some apologies
are made. Well, he never had any
sense no how until God gave to the
world woman and from that day to
this she's been trying to civilize him
and make him respectable
The sons of Adam are tough set for
a woman to deal with but she manages
them pretty well, considering every
thing. Her charms disarms their bru-
tality and they try to act as gentlemen
when they are around. For forty years
a woman has been trying to make
something out of me, and only the
other day she said, that had no man
ners. Well, she told the truth. | amt
much above brute Some how just
can't be as nice as wife. can't begin
to come up to her standard. She does
MT put on bit, just natural like, and
everybody seems to like Aunt Fannie.
Now, | want to be just as clever,
just as nice and make people like me
as well as they do her, but I can't.
Even the grand children like ma the
best and l am sure the children all
like her the best and I really do be-

oIght to be honest enough to acknowl-
edge the corn, and say we can't meas
ure up to the standard of good wom-
an. Most any woman beats us but l
don't want to dishearten anyone, but
from experience and observation |
would like to say boy who keeps the
company of nice girls every Sunday
will never come to any bad end, and
you girls should lure the boys into your
society as often as possible and set a
good example before them. Parents
should encourage their boys to keep
the company of nice, pure girls. They
can do more to influence boys to an
honorable life than you can. / hope
the girls who read this will realize
what wonderful influence they have
over the boys of the land. You can ex-
ercise your influence without being
fast or forward. When was boy a
certain young lady much older than
exercised such good influence over
me that it has followed me all through
life, and my experience is that boy
is much better after having enjoyed
the company of nice intelligent girls
Some say our young men are the hope
of the country. | say our girls are
the hope of our country and our coun
try will be just what they make it
Our women are fighting the evils o.
this country harder than the men are
We toady They don't Now, girls
l am going to quit but let me say t.
: you that true, pure girls can do NOR,
! TO civilize and build up communit,
than all the organizations men wer,
, ever dove tailed into. AS you will 81
it will be. Use energy is the motto.
