FTancsss Family Must Call.
Unless sewers Illness tn his family
prevents, q girl who has just become
engaged must wait for her future hus-
bands fnnafIy to Gull upon her. The
reaso for this is obvious. She Is
about to become q member Of another
family. III she is welcome here It's
members will hasten TO greet her; If
she Is not they Will stay away, says
Rosanna Schuyler. shA may not make
the first call. fer then she is in the
position OF forcing her acquaintance
upon them, and II they are inconsid-
crate she may be subjected to snub-
hing
Courtesy and coed form demand
that, even II q Girl Ia not altogether
welcome to her future "in-laws,' they
shall call upon her as soon as they
know OF the engagement. for If they
fail to do SO 1t Is an announcement
to the world that theye are ~displeassd.
1t Is always the part OF wisdom to
keep knowledge of private family mat
ter from the public, and SO IT is that

Gee, even though she may wish the
engagement did not exist.
The only justifiable xeu for the
older woman's not going at once is III
ness on her part O that OF her family
or a good and sufficient reason why
she should not receive the girl. A
woman of any experience Will hesitate
before she will make such a sweeping
condemnation OF a young woman whom
her son expects to marry.
II a young mans father should call
upon his future daHghter-in-law tt L.
considered a mark of courtesy, but Ia
not required, for the visit of the older
woman means his sanction to the en-
gagement.
Ii q young man who has become en-
gagged has any sisters they, too, must
call Immediately upon his iancee. even
though they may not have known her
previously.
On her part she IL to receive such

METHoDIsTs DENOUNCE WILSON,
Uncle Jim Getting His On All Sides
Now.

At the morning service yesterday
of the Methodist church a resolution
was adopted denouncing Secretary
James Wilson for his action in ac-
cepting the honorary presidency Of
the Brewers National Congress. The
church has a membership of $50
persons. The resolution is:
Whereas, 1t is currently reported
BY the newspaper press Of the eoun-
try that the Hon. James Wilson, sec
rotary Of Agriculture in the cabinet
Of President Taft, has accepted the
position Of honorary president Of the
Brewers National Congress soon to
convene; Therefore, be 1t resolved
that we, the members Of the quar-
terly conference Of the Methodist
Episcopal church Of Abilene. Kansas,
do most earnestly protest against
such action as Q national disgrace
and an insult to the Christian and
Temperance people Of the country

die effort for single Sundays rec
ord, but it will be a terrific tug on
long years pull at the hearts and
Wills of the out-of-church men and
boys. There will be no cessation
of labor until after Conservation Day,
September 10, 1912. This is no
"Whoop-it-up" scheme but plan to
enlist men and boys in Christian ser
vice and make them friends of the
church. Definite work to be done
is the key note of the whole move
ment. The plan especially appeals to
the business men.
Most of the Abilene churches and
Sunday schools are planning to make
this the opening day of the move
ment.
The churches of every town and
village in United States and Canada
are expected to cooperate in making
September "a, big day for enlisting
men and boys in the Christian work.

THREE DAYS MARRIED LIFE
WAS ALL FOR THIS COUPLE.
George Barcus Didn't Find Things to
Suit Him.

Dan Cupid 10 pretty good hunts
man when 1t comes to landing pros
poets for matrimony, but his little
arrow of love did not sink deep
enough in this case. In fact, Dan
must have shot too quick, for mar
ried life only lasted three days for
Mr.. and Mrs. George Barcus.
The marriage was thought to have
terminated from a pretty little ro-
nance entitled Love at First Sight"
Mr.. Barcus met Miss Leara Rathert
during the M. w. A. log rolling here
early in August and by Sept. they
we're husband and wife. Mrs. Barcus
Is one Of Enterprises most respected
young women.
MIR. Barcus 1t seems was very much
taken with the young lady and Mr.
Joy reigned supreme until the mar
riage. Then Mr.. Gloom took a hand
in the game and after three days
Of married life, Joy was entirely
relegated to the rear.
Mr.. Barcus claims that he did no
find things as he expected and there
fore, desires an absolute separation
s. s. Smith is his attorney.

AUTO TURN TURTLE AND
SPILLED ITS OCCUPANTS.

Last night six miles south of Abb
lene P. M. Nemechek's large touring
car turned turtle splitting DR.. and
Mrs. A. s. Gish and the driver. Mrs.
Gish was severely injured in the back
and Mr.. Nemechek spained one of his
legs. DR.. Gish did not receive a
bruise.
p. M. Nemechek, who lives six
miles south of Abilene, came to Abb
lene after DR.. Gish to care for his
daughter who is i'll. Mrs. Gish- went
with the doctor. 1t was about 8
O'Clock in the evening when Mr..
Nemechek started home with DR.. and
Mrs. Gish. The lights on the auto
mobile went out after the machine
had gone only one quarter of a mile.
There is sharp curve about half
mile from Mr.. Nemeehek's farm and
not having any light to lead the
way, the machine ran down the en-
bankment at the curve and turned
turtle, Mr.. Gish was thrown out and
fell on Mrs. Gish whose dress was

BUGS THAT HAVE BEEN
BOTHERING ARE JASSIDAE.

Did you know that those little bugs
bothering Abilene people for four
nights last week were jassidae? Also
would you like to know what the Jas
sidae are:
Well 1t is the jassidae or leaf hop
per, on their honeymoon. When the
leaf hopper first takes wing he be-
gins hunting for wife, and Just
as soon as he finds lady hopper
who also has wings they are mar
ried and begin a nuptial flight as
soon as it gets dark and the street
lights are turned on.
The nuptial flight is the scientific
name for the visitation of the plague
of little green bugs Sunday night
They may be worse, the flight usual
w continues for four nights. The
bugs and their wives swarm around
the bright street lights for three
and four hours, then the honeymoon
is ended and they hike back for the
tall timber, lay their eggs and die
in a few days. The eggs will hatch
about the middle of next June and
then there will be swarms again, as
soon as the little worms develop
wings.

FIRST KILLING FROST
SCHEDULED TO ARRIVE OCT. q

Talking about frosts-there may
be some time yet for vegetation to
grow.
We often have frost in September
in fact the first frosts generally come
that month. There have been Sep
TENDERS, however, when frosts DO
not occur.
But the first frosts as rule are
so light that they do not kill. The
average date Of the first killingfrost'
according to Prof. A. w. Jones re-
cords, is October Z. That would give
us three weeks of growing weather.
However, there are some, years when
the first killing frost does not come
until the very end of October.
