WHOLESOME ADVICE

An Illinois exchange has the follow
ing words of advice to offer the young
people of that state:
The mother who allows a sixteen
vear-old daughter to float around the
township in a top buggy until 2 a. m,
with counterfeit sport of weak Jaw
and weaker morals merely opens the
front door to grief and disgrace. If
you don't know what company your
girl keeps or what time of the night she
turns in, your roar when the gossips
get busy will sound about as pathetic
as the wheeze from a jew sharp.
The girl who insists on spooning with
everybody in the corporate limits ought
to be backed into the woodshed and re-
lieved of her overflow of affection with
a No. |. slipper laid carelessly across
the hipletts. We had sooner see a girl
kiss a blind shoat through a barbed
wire fence than have her change part.
ners six nights week in the parlor
with the lights turned low. IT is hard.
er to marry off girl who has been
paved over by every man in the com
munity than it is to fatten a sheep on
pineapple lice. 49,.
There are lots of weak minded par
ents who are going up against the
Judgment day with about as much
show as a oss-eyed girl in a beauty
show and their children will rise ur
and call them blessed with the en-
thnsiasm of a one-legged man at
club.

smooth the matter over What the out

inst now. Editor Barker is still camp
ing upon Battling's trail. Senator
Hepburn has declined to take hand
in the embroglio, though importuned to
do so by Byron s. Deffenbach, chair
man Of the Republican committee.
The difference between Barker and
battling was brought TO a climax by a

ker of violating true Republican prin.
eiples and threatened boycott OF
Parker's paper, also declaring his in.
tention Of withholding government
business from the newspapers at Sand
Point. Barker was not slow in giving
the letters 10 n national weekly publ.
cation. and journals in various parts OF
the country took up the matter.
Battling admits that the withdrawal
OF patronage from the Review was the
result of sharp criticism. saying also
thet the newspaper was not in harmony
with the Republican party. He added;
