Listen, daughter. Whenever a
town girl gets to proud to marry a
man with 100 acres of land and 20
red pigs, just because he wears blue
jeans and can't tell the tango from
a sloe gin rickey. you can set it
down as fact that she will either
die an old maid or marry a Sc a
week clerk with a head full of ozone
and only one change of hole proofs.
We would rather see you hooked up
to a some fellow who wears Accent
overalls and knows when to hit the
top OF the market than to be yoked
to some Cuthbert why plays the
mandolin, smokes Turkish cigarettes
and lives off his fathers pension.
Still there's no accounting for tastes.
That's why they are establishing
courts of Domestic Relations here
and there.

AGITATORS POUR OIL
ON JOHN DIS WATERS
Chinese Politicians Oppose Contract
with Rockefeller. but Yuan
Is Firm.

The State Department has received no
official information confirming reports
that the British Minister in Pekin has
protested to the Chinese government
against the contract made with the
Standard Oil Company for the develop
ment Of mineral oil resources in the pro-
vinces of Shen-si and Chill. officials
here believe that the reported British
protest will offer no serious obstacle to
the plans OF the Standard OIL
Political opposition in China is thought
TO constitute a graver source of danger
to the Standard Oil interests than any
objection which may be registered by
foreign governments.
Political agitators have been endeavor-
ing to arouse the masses with the charge
that Yuan Shi-Kai is selling them out
