time ago where you said
when a couple were going to
get married, the best man
and bridesmaid must be in
innate friends of either the
bride or groom. Am I not
right? III so, when couples

Dear Miss Grey: i have
been called a flirt and trifIer
and various other, things and
1 think the whole trouble Is
due to my eyes. They both
err me considerable, and 1t
sometimes hurts the back of
my head to look directly and
sharply at anything, cOnse-
quently 1t gives me the APP
pearance of flirting when L
am not doing anything of the
sort; but it hurts me so to
have people think 1 am flirt-
ing when l am really suffer-
ing.
Miss Grey, do you think IL
q man cares anything for
you, or pretends to, that he
will tell things he knows and
you know are not true when
you have never said nor
wrote anything disparaging
about him or his people? Do
you think you should be
blamed for things you have
no way of knowing or finding
out? WONDERING.
A.-You should consult Q
first-class occulist at once in re
gard to your eyes or the result IL
apt to be serious. / sympathizt
with you very much and car
readily understand in what al
embarrassing position such cir
cumstances place you. If YOU
manner is refined and ladylike
people will soon learn you are
not trying to flirt, the ones wht
do not are not worth paying at
tention to.
The young man is not sincere
or he would not accuse you o
things you are in no way to blam,
for. 1t is best to eliminate sucl
people from your friendship.

There is no law In regard to this;
it is merely a matter Of personal
taste. ge
My statement was In regard to
the witnesses who accompany you
to get the marriage license,
which Is altogether different

one witness who has been per-

Dear Miss Grey: Is "Ev-
erybody's DOM It" q perfect
Iy moral song for our home
and girls, or is it suggestive
and should 1t be discouraged
by fathers and mothers?
The writer is man and
hears mems remarks; but
wife says it's pretty. We
quarreled. What say you?
PAPA.
A.-The above mentioned song
is fair sample of the atest
"ragtime" music. To my mind 1t
is degrading and not fit to be
classed as music.
Let our minds wander back to
the original meaning of the
word music" 1t is the science
of combining tones in melodic,
rhythmic and harmonic order SO
as to excite the emotions or ap-
peal to the intellect.
Is there anything uplifting or
melodic In the clang and clatter
of the popular ballad Every
body's Doin' IT,? One might close
his eyes and not have to stretch
his imagination far to believe
himself in the midst of an Igor
rote village. Are we to undo in
few short years what such mas
tiers as Beethoven, Shubert, Men
delssohn and Mozart gave their
entire lives for?

Friends.

Dear Miss Grey: As you
have helped others, we also
write for advice. We are
two boys 20 and ii, and we
are fairly good looking. We
should like to have your adj
vice on how to get acquaint-
ed with the young ladies.
We dress well; but can't I'M
derstand why we don't get
acquainted.
TWO BASHFUL BOYS.
A.-Good looks and nice clothes
go a very short way toward max
ing friends-that is, friends in
the true sense of the word.
Now, are you boys polite, re-
fined, progressive young men?
Are you striving to be worth
while and to leave the world just
a little better than you found it?
Are you temperate in all things :?
Do you assume an easy, natural
air when in the society Of ladies,
or do you smirk and shipper and
appear too anxious for their at
tention? Do you read and OBJ
serve a great deal so that you will
have ready conversation at hand !?
All these things and the man
ner in which a young man con-
ducts himself depends on the
of friends he Is going to
make.

UNCLE sam WILL
AID AMERICAN REFUGEES

Washington, D. c., Oct. 10.-Six
thousand refugees recently arrived a.
Ell Paso, Eagle Pass and other points
near the Mexican border, according to
immigration authorities here, report
that smallpox has added its ravages to
the destitution and panic of that un-
happy nation. Secretary Wilson and
Commissioner Caminetti authorized To-
cal authorities on the border to in
crease their forces and buy rations
and provide medical attention for all
American refugees Commissioner Cam
inetti stated this government was un-
der no obligation to furnish relief to
non-cambatant aliens, but on the broad
grounds of humanity would asst all
in absolute need.
Surgeon General Blue of the public
health service, has been requested by
Commissioner Caminetti to cooper
ate with the immigration authorities
in preventing a spread of smallpox
among refugees at Eagle Pass and at
other points.
Three cases of the disease have de-
veloped already at Eagle Pass and re-
ports indicate that other cases are
likely to appear 1t is the intention
of the government to deport those
refugees who are not entitled to re-
main under the immigration laws, but
there will be no effort to hurry them
across the line Immediately.

DON'T CONFUSE
BOIL WORM With
BOIL WEEVIL
How to Detect and Deal with
the Boil Worm

Washington, D. c., Oct. 10.-The de-
partment of agriculture has recently
received numerous inquiries about in
jury by the cotton boil worm, especial
ly in the eastern part of the belt. In
many cases this insect has been con-
fused with the boil weevil, and sew
eral erroneous reports about the oc-
currence of that pest in new regions
have thus become prevalent.
The boil worm is the larva of II
moth, and is only very distantly relat-
ed to the weevil which belongs to the
large natural group of beetles. The
worm when first Matched is very TIM,
but grows rapidly, becoming finally =
little over an inch long, and grenisn
or brownish in color The weevil grub
is white and found only within the
cotton square or boil. 1t never ex-
ceeds one-half inch in length.
In the case of the present outbreak
the injury began so late in the season
hot h4 fo hn
present crop. Nevertheless, a farmer
can insure the crop of the coming sea-
son against injury by the pest with
comparatively little trouble and ex
pense. The action that should be tax
en- wherever injury has occurred this
years is to pick the cotton as quickly
as possible and Immediately thereafter
to plow and harrow the fields. This
ork will result in the destruction OF
the immature stages of the worm
which have passed just beneath the
ST rface of the soil. In addition -
the eject in destroying the insect tn :
lluwing and narrowing of the fields
will have very great value in the way
of preparing for the crop of the fol-
lowing season.
Methods of control of the boil worm
which are applicable in different seas
ons of the year are described in Farm
ers' Bulletin 290

Washington, D. c., Oct. 10.-Should

confronted with more delay, for the

he said, New York banks furnished

CANDIDATES FOR
COUNCIL HONORS
NOT NUMEROUS
NO ENTRIES FOR PRIMARY
Though Ample Time Remains
Therefor

Who wants to be an Americus al
derman? Or must the honor be thrust
upon the man? So far there has be IN
ilo entries in the race for the primary,
ordered for October 10Th, but that
there will be several such entries III
due time no sane citizen who knows
the situation here will for moment
doubt.
With more than two weeks interven-
ing before election day, and two cir
cuses in hand to claim division of at
tention, one can scarcely be expected
to get into a political race so far in
advance of the day of battle.
But there will be candidates; never
fear; more than one will offer to go
upon the altar, sacrifice to duty, of
course.
The three aldermen whose two years
terms expire in December are Messrs.
Bolton. Poole and Allen. While non
committal so far in advance, it is BE-
lieved by friends Of these gentlemen
that at least two will offer for re-elec-
ton, if not all, as the council as no
constituted is harmonious body, all
body, all working for the general veal.
This time, for the first time in sew
eral years, there are no political lines
drawn, so far as now appears upon the
horizon, and with a field of candidates
offering-for there will be others, be
yond doubt-the selection of tick:t
will be largely a question of personal
choice with the voter in the primary.
AS a rule, aldermanic candidates in
Americus prefer a short and spirited
brush at the polls, and for this reason
the candidatal offerings will not be
made just yet.

The hearing for permanent injunc-

council of Americus against tha
Americus Power Co., and to have
been argued today before Judge T.
A. Littlejohny has been postponed at
the instance of petitioners. This ac-
tion was brought about by the pend
ing proposition. made recently by
council, looking to the taking over
of both lighting plants under an
agreement to be submitted shortly to-
the voters of the city for atification
or rejection. The city council has
been seeking to restrain the Ameri
Gus Power Co. from merging its in
terests with those of the other local
company, the opposition thereto be-
ing based upon an alleged optoin held
by the city for acquiring the properly
of the Americas Power Co. within 4
given period of years. Pending the
plan more recently suggested, the
hearing for injunction today will
again be passed for time.
