When to Spoon
Is the Issue Now

Milwaukee, Jan. 14.-"Cut out the
spooning in courtship and you will
eliminate half of the unhappy mar
riages of today.
Engagement does not bring with it
all the privileges of marriage. Spoon
ing is a privilege of marriage and it
is one of those not given to the en-
gagged

Of weeks campaign for morality and

Milwaukee women.
Mrs. Dora Putnam says spooning
may be countenanced among the en-
gagged, but that it should not be in
public.
Mrs. 0. 0. Wagley would not limit
spooning to marriage. "a certain
amount of it belongs to the engaged

of being engaged, but that she be-

His. adobe walled basement, he says,

Letters from the
Rural Wayfarer
MELOLAND.

The wayfarer was requested
to say a word about the new
Sunday school at the school house at
Meloland and he does so with pleas
ure. The Sunday school will be under
the superintendency of the Alameda
Sunday school superintendent and a
full course of teachers will be selected.
The Sunday school is undenomina-
tional in character and it is hoped
and expected that all interested in the
moral and spiritual welfare Of their
children will both have their children
attend and come themselves. The re-
ligion truths and moral precepts
gained in Sunday school never depart
from the man or woman who learned
them as children. Whether we are re-
ligious or not we all desire our chill
dren to be honest, truthful and law
abiding, and good Sunday school is
one of the strongest forces in the
world to make for these ends. The
Sunday school at Meloland will meet
at o'clock in the afternoon.
The 11-year-old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. S. D. Ayres IS. very SICK with

The second necessary step is the
