Sweet Sixteen
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
| am IS years Of age and would
like to know If I am not old enough
TO write my own postals and let
ters 10 my friends, as my mother
objects / would like to know who
is right Hoping you will oblige.
a. L. S.
KITTEN years old-dear me. what
Methusaleh-in petticoats.
~ Sixteen-sweet sixteen. they call
it in the old-fashioned love stories,
don't thcyo-and sweet sixteen IT is
In real life. too-when it is sweet
some Of the sixteens l know are not
sweet at an-they are just stubborn
and self conscious. willful and foolish.
I am afraid that that is the kind Of
sweet sixteen I was once-a good long
time ago.
| got the idea into my head that the
one important thing in life was to be
good dancer-I was one myself-and l
looked upon a girl who couldn't dance
as well as l could as a poor, stupid
creature who ought 70 be Shut up some
where for her own good,
Brains, character, a sweet dispose
ton. kind heart, loving thought Of
others-pouf, what did all these things
amount to. The one real thing in life
is to dance
Tum re tum tum-tee tum te tum-
We DIDN'T tango in those days-we
waltaed-and some Of the grandmothers
though Waiting terribly shocking, too,
let me tell you.
Grandmothers don't change much, do
they
Nor. I'm afraid, does always Sweet
Sixteen.
SO you think you're old enough TO
write your own postal and your own
letter to your own friends. and you
are cross because your mother inter
feres
Yes, that's the way you are at sweet
sixteen
When I was sweet sixteen l thought
my mother was positively malignant.
because she didn't want me TO choose
a certain girl for my intimate friend.

Feed Corn, but Not Corn
Only.

It is frequently stated that
corn is not a good feed for a
brood sow, or for young animals,
but there is no better feed thar
corn for any farm animal for
supplying a part of the ration.
1t is high-priced in the South,
and it does not supply all the
materials which breeding ami
mails and young growing stock
need; but it is a most excellent
feed and should be a part of the
ration for most farm animals If
produced as it should an can be
in the South. 1t will be difficult
to find a better feed than corn
and peanuts, corn and soy beans,
corn and velvet beans, or corn
and tankage, when the legumes
are not available, for the brood
sow. The Progressive Farmer.

Visionary Notes

We are delighted to learn of
our deaconess, Miss Mamie
Daniel, that she is succeeding so
we'll in her new work.
She says I've gained an en-
trance into the hearts of some of
the factory girls; and where |
expected to be repulsed at first,
I've been most cordially re-
ceived." In a later letter she
writes we're having new de-
velopments every day. A big
party on hand for working girls
who are boarding in town. I'm
so happy about it all, I'm about
to bubble over" The business
men are becoming interested in
her work.
When | read of the work she
is doing this verse of poetry
seemed so appropriate.
'sThe service of Christ is the
the business of my life;
the love of Christ is the law of
my life;
The presence of Christ is the
JOY of my life;
The glory Of Christ is the crown
of my life"
Every one should feel an in
terest in her as she is one of St.
Landry's girls.

sMACkMEN SUSPECTED
 OF SMUGGLING LIQUOR Supplied Soldiers at Plum IsIand-Now Can't Use New Harbor.

Smackmen need not apply for shel- ter at New harbor, Plum Island. Until recently they were welcome to run in at any time when menaced by stormy weather. The attitude of the military authorities on the island toward the fishermen has changed and they are debarred from anchorage in the har- hor
 Since the new harber was opened the number of arrests for intoXication in the garrison increased alarmingly. The source of supply of liquor was suspected to be the smacks which put into the harbor Several times raids pulled of before the liquor smugglers had disposed of their stocks either by dumping bottles overheard or by sell ing them,
 It was considered the more effective way to prevent the sale of liquor on the Island to stop the smugglers. Ac cordingly an order to this end was posted at guard headquarters and as fast as the smackmen came in they were directed not only that they would not be permitted to make fast to the wharf but they must not anchor inside the breakwater.
 The abuse of valued privilege has resulted in hardship to those smack men who are above traffiCking in li Quor. New harbor has proved a bless ing to the crews of small boats which get caught outside the island in bad weather
