A measure just passed by the

they found it impossible to wrap
up both head and feet in the

q Legislature responsive to their

susceptibility having been iolted
by the sight of cracked dishes on
hotel tables, their representa-"

passed also a bill prohibiting the
use on hotel tables Of any cup

Over twenty years ago the At

stored there ready for the exten-

way, including the Southern and
the Seaboard Air Line. that the
road should not be extended to
Raleigh but that there should
be a sort of division of territory,
but this agreement has new
lapsed bv Limitation and has also
been, in a general way, With

seems that the Spring Hope

Many of the children said they

was no food in the house.

COUNTRY BOYS IN DEMAND.
More Accommodating and ObIIg-
Ing Than City Boys. and They
are Steady and Reliable

A~S "AO~ lily 0VSSO anu AA$y
are Steady and Reliable
A Boston employer of labor well
known among business circles in
that city says that he will ask no
more city boys into his employ
He declared that city boys, the
kind born and bred in the big
cities, do not make as faithful and
efficient employees as those from
the small towns and the country.
Therefore, he says: II have
determined in the future to hire
none but boys from the towns
and communities suburban to
Boston. The best material comes
from the farm, and I am always
ready to make an opening for the
town or community BOYS in my
business.
When questioned as to the
qualities in which the country
boy excels the city bred boy,
this large employer said: Coun-
try boys are far more accommo
dating and obliGing than city
boys, and what is even more ap
preciated by an employer, they
are steady and. reliable. Their
time and thoughts are not en-
crossed with the so-called plea
sures of the city, and they
are willing and anxious to learn
and make progress in the
world. The city boys feels salts
fed to earn little honey and
squander it, thinking only of the
present. The country boy wants
to get on in the world, and he
succeeds while his city cousin
waists his time"
This is high praise, certainly
but it is strictly true, as every
city employer knows. The boy
from the country should find 6
world of encouragement in such
commendation. There is a de
mand for him-a demand based
, on the qualities for which per
haps, he had been inclined to un
derrate himself, as too fresh
or behind the times" The
sterling qualities that country
ife as a rule br DIS in a boy are
the very qualities that city EN-
ployers are looking ior, and glad
~ welcome when they discover
them.
This is only one evidence o.
the assertion that I'VE are going
back. in America, to old fashion
ed principles" Honesty, relia
bility, courtesy, modesty, help
fulness, ambition, economy, will
ipgness to work hard and make
work the chief thing in life
these are old-fashioned qualities
and it is refreshing indeed t.
and them once more in demand
| Country boys, with countr,
characters and qualities, the cit,
wants youi It wants the nev
moral and industrial blood tina
you bring into it. It wants you
firm moral and intellectual fbr
as well as your strong muscle
and powers of endurance. A
the employer quoted says. "Th
best material comes from til

try is at a premium, and it .

STARS on new FLAG
WERE ARRANGED ~ CHARLES
TALLmAN OF RICHMOND, tAE.
His Services in the Army and Navy
Has Visited Ports in All Parts Of
World and Has Travelling Rec.
ord Of $4,000 Miles.

Boston.-1t is not generally known
that the person who suggested the ar
rangement for the stars on the United
States flag, which became effective
July last, was a Maine man.
After the admission of Oklahoma to
statehood Charles E. Tallman, U. S.
NJ, retired, of Richmond, made IT,
inch flag with 46 stars and forwarded
it to the state department at Washing
ton
The state department referred the
matter to the navy department.
A few days later Mr.. Tallman re-
ceived notice to the effect that his ar
rangement was one of those which
was being considered. Later it was
officially announced that Mr.. Tall
mans arrangement had been selected
Charles E. Tallman was born in
Richmond, Me-. March IA, 1912. On
January 9, 1864, he enlisted for three
years as a private in Company A,
Capt. J. w.. Spaulding, Nineteenth
Maine volunteer infantry, which was
commanded by Col. l. H. Stairbird
He served but a short time in the
army, being discharged at Brandy Sta.
ton, Va, April Is, 1864, and trans.
ferred to the navy, where he first saw
service at the Brooklyn navy yard, on
board the U. S. r. S. North Carolina.
In May, 1864, he was assigned to the
U. S. S. Bienville, then at that yard.

ROSES ON ALL WINTER HATS.
OF Every Color and Hue, and the
Larger the Better.

Roses of every color and hue, big as
cabbages, are smart on winter hats. 1t
is the color that takes. OF course a
luxuriant big rose, though of satin and
silk and in the shades of pink never to
be seen on real flower, helps to en-
lfven the feelings. A rose hat makes
one feel positively young. and young
faces more than ever like flowers
themselves.
The ribbon roses which adorn a
dressy hat just from Paris are made
OF many shades of pink satin ribbon in
one instance, and in another of curious
shades of dead white and greeny white
to look like bride rose.
1t may seem folly to pay four dollars
for a single artificial rose, yet that is
what fashion is doing, and the ribbon
roses cost as much if not more.
The keynote of the year is simple
elegance" said the milliner as she
carefully extricated a large hat to fit
on my head for the reception. Simple
elegance"
Truly it looked so. 1t was a turban,
rather large, and over the maline
finished frame was folded point lace
scarf with little ermine and sable
tails rounding. the crown. A narrow
twist of vieux bleu supple ribbon gave
the color note-that was all. Other tur-
bans-the coming hats-were as SUI
perb in scarfs of ottoman silk in rich
cOlors.

The Smart Scarfs,

Just at the present moment the
silks being used for the manufacture
of the smartest scarfs have patterns
which would seem to owe their in.
SEPARATION to various phases of nature.
Fruits and flowers figure very largely
in the designs now as do all sorts OF
Towering plants and vines. The new.
est scarfs of this type show another
phase of nature in their design. They
have round balls of color suggesting
suns crossed by fleecy clouds. AS the
majority of these scarfs are made Of
gray brocade, the cloud effect is per.
fectly apparent. One had red suns"
while dark blues and browns also ap.
pear in some of the patterns.
