ball took place while they were there
and they were guests at it, of course.
You know this large affair is given IN
the Horticultural Hall and everyone
is present. Miss Grant had a Won
derful time, and she was loath to come
home, yet she didn't stay but one
day. Off she went to New Orleans,
where she is visiting Mary orme dur
ing Mardi Gras. Probably when she
returns this time she will have some
other plans that will keep her busy,
even though Lent usually puts an END
to festivities everywhere.
MAYBE it is all right for girls to
smoke-maybe it isn't. think
it isn't. Maybe it is all right
to smoke in public-maybe 1T isn't.
Once mo- l think it isn't. However,
there is rather fetching looking girl
who was visiting here recently who
evidently disagrees with me. The
other night at one of the clubs she
was sitting with quite a crowd or
young and old and married and nn-
married. Presently she produced
very pretty gold cigarette case. she
gracefully offered a cigarette to eV-
eryone in the crowd, paying no at
tention to the shocked glances. Taen
she took one herself borrowed light
and apparently enjoyed herself I'M
mensely. She doesn't know it, but sac
has done a great service to two or
three young girls who saw her.
have since heard them say that they
had often thought OF smoking, bat
now that they realized how 1t looked
thew had decided that cigarettes
would never be for them.
n o YOU know that to-day happens
II to be the birthday of one of
the most beloved women in the
State-Mrs. William d. Grant-and
that, at the Executive Mansion. where
Mrs. Grant is at home with her son
and daughter, Governor and Mrs. Sla-
ton. she is being showered with con-
gratulations on her 18TH birthday.
Truly no more wonderful woman mas
ever lived in the State than Mrs.
Grant. There are many who still re-
member her as the Belle of Geor-
gia," when it was said that she
thought nothing OF maintaining
converse ton with five different men,
all at the same time, giving to each
some of her graciousness and charm,
together with her brilliant mentality.
During each of the succeeding years
her interest in all live questions
and the warmth of her nature have
kept her as young in heart as when
she was a girl, and she is the center
Of admiration both in her family con-
nection and in a circle of friends
which includes thousands of men and
women over the country.

T would be hard to find prouder
or happier people anywhere these
days than the Rosser family. They
are fairly bubbling over with delight
over the fact that a little son has en-
tered the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Shelton. Mrs. Shelton was
Miss Nora Belle Rosser, and they
have named the young heir for his
maternal grandfather, Luther Rossec.
This is the only little tot in the whole
family connection. and already pre-
soon 1t will be before he will be die

wants things to be done. Mrs. Shell

busy receiving congratulations at the
residence on Gordon street, and ev-
erywhere you go these days they are
busy spreading the news.

THE Nine O'Clock German Club
had its last dinner-dance Of the
season Friday evening. You
know they always have three during
the winter, and ! suppose you re-
member the THANKSGIVING dance and
the costume bail right after Christ
mas. This last one came as a prelude
to Lent, and it was delightful. NJ
decorations are ever expected on these
occasions, the elaborate supper served
at Il o'clock being the main drawing
card to this ultra swell german. Be
sides, this is an exclusive Organiza-
ton, and 1t is quite an honor to be a
guest on this occasion. The debu-
tantes feel that If they get bids for
the Nine O'Clocks their sea son has
been successful. Clarence Knowles
was elected president this year to
succeed Jesse Draper, and he has
proved quite an able officer. We are
all proud of the interest ne has taken
and the work he has done for the
Nine O'Clocks, and we hope he won't
set his mind to become a benedict,
thus forcing a new man to step into
his place.

 They have arranged for ne issuance of emergency currency, through amendment of the AL drich-Vreeland Law, under which national banks can obtain all the currency needed for legitimate business.
 They have organized the Fed eral Reserve Board which will insure the opening of the twelve new Federal reserve banks in- side of fifty days, thus giving ample banking facilities for bus mess to every section of our country.
 They have amended the ship registry laws so that American capital will buy foreign ships, which together with the large number of ships already owned by Americans will fly the flag of the United States and furnish ample carrying capacity for our foreign trade.
 They have opened the Pana- ma Canal, and thus provided shorter routes for our commerce with South America, Australia and the Far East.

 The Studebaker Corporation, with it's sixty two years of busi- ness experience, its thousands of employees, and its millions of capital invested, appreciates the patriotic work that has been done and the opportunities thereby af- forded.
 Speaking from our experi- ence and immediate forecast of possibilities, we feel cheerful and optimistic over the outlook for profitable business and steady employ ment of tabor with in- creasing developments of foreign trade in neutral countries.
 America is today the clearing house of the world.
 The great nations of the earth are depending upon the integrity of her friendship, the safety and saneness of her diplomacy, the eXtensiveness of her trade, and the soundness of her finance.
 It is time for Americans to show their optimism, their pa- triotism, and their aggressive earneStness.
 The foundations of our na- tional prosperity have been laid too deep and too strong to be se- riously disturbed even by so great a catastrophe as the war of all Europe.
 We regret deeply and sincere ly that the war must be, yet we are in noWise to blame and are happily far removed from the theatre of activities.
 Friendship we feel for all, and toward all we must remain in both thought and action en- tirely neutral.
 Our duty to ourselves and our moral obligation to the rest of the world compel us Americans to be up and doing, to maintain a cheerful and hopeful spirit, to operate our industries and enter prises, to pay our bills as usual, and to conduct our affairs gener- ally on conservative but enthu- siastic lines"

LETTER FROM J. 4. PARKER

Wishing to reach the planters of Nevada County in an appeal to grow wheat in Nevada County another year, l know of no better plan than through our county paper, and being sure you would take pleasure in helping to organize a Wheat Club in this county. 1 beg that you take the matter up through the columns of your paper and get the senti- ment of the planters as to the amount to be soWn, the time to SOW etc.
 Just a few planters cannot raise wheat to any advantage, for the lack of machinery to pre- pair it for the market and in or der to insure the proper machin- cry we will have to organize in- to a Wheat Club and every member agree and plant a great number of acres, signing a pledge to this effect.
 It is a nice state of affairs we have gotten into here in the South that we can't sell cotton for en- ough money to pay the expense of production, much less provide the necessary things for wife and clbs, and the only thing l can see for us to do, is to quit the stuff and not wait to have laws passed to make us do the things we ought to do, so please throw the colums of your paper open to thls matter and sNc what can be done in regard to it.
 Let every planter in the county taat will, write to the paper and authorize the Editor to place his name on the list as one who c3n depended on to stay by his pledge to grow aPiven amount of whea in 1915 thereby cutting down the cotton acreage for 1915.
 Respectfully,
 J. A. Parker.
