Why women like the baldheaded
man it is somewhat difflcult to define.
1t may be because he appears to be:
Thoughtful and kind.
Trustworthy and confiding. Whim-
sical Past the follies and frivolities
of youth.
Usually successful.
"A man of property.
Opinions why women like the bald
headed man obtained by the Daily
Mirror are as follows:
He is not silly like young men.
He accepts refusals of marriage so
nicely that one is sorry one did not
accept him.
The bald patch looks so clean and
nice. One would like to kiss it.
"A doctor welcomes badness when 1t

Anti-Nigh Beer Ordinance Held Valid
BY the Supreme Court.


The supreme court has handed
down a decision whereby the near
beer ordinance drafted by the city
council of Shellman will remain in
violate and in full rigor, prohibiting
the sale of any nigh beverage" con-
tanning more than a quarter of one
per cent. alcohol and eliminating
near-beer and practically every other
concoction. An injunction was issued
against the town ordinance, but the
supreme court has ruled that the in
junction doesn't fit the case, because
of an old law that a court of equity
cannot interfere with the enforce
ment of criminal laws. Judge w
c. Worrill of the superior court of
the Pataula circuit granted the in
junction which the supreme court
now dissolves.
The suit for injunction was
brought by w. T. Saxon to stay the
operation of the ordinance. Saxon
won out in the lower court, but
he loses now.
