ON KEEPING UP APPEARANCES
Ellen Add Discusses The Sensiby Dressed and the Ouer-
dressed Girl

While good clothes are a real asset tc
fession or line OF life may be, the Pdolled-
up woman will defeat her own ends, and
probably create a very bad impression
where she fondly imagined she was Gre
atlng the very opposite!
From the matrimonial point OF view,
too. a girls chances are really lessened
rather than increased by overdressng.
Men may pay her attention, and take
her around to parties and theatres but
when It gets right down to hard facts
and the permanency OF the marriage tie.
they shake their heads and inwardiy de-
eide that she would prove too expensive
a luxury for their pocketbooks.
Many parents make n great mistake In
stinting themselves for the sake OF
dressing up their young daughter in the
very extreme of fashion. They labor
under the mistaken idea that this will
enhance her matrimonial chances, and
that she will surely make a successful
marriage It is almost pathetic TO watch
how they stint themselves of all pleas
ures for her sake. and even stint them
selves Of some OF the necessities of life.
Another mistake that is frequently
made by foolish but well-meanlng people
is the upkeep of homes much too large
and pretentious for their means. Many
of the suicides that one reads of in the
newspapers can be traced to this fact.
Living beyond ones means for any
length of time always spells disaster in
the end and is destructive to any home
enjoyment or peace of mind
The keeping up OF appearances I'm
so far as means Justify the doing of
the same. is a very necessary and laud-
able thing. But living beyond ones in
come for the sake of "show" is as pa
thetlc as 1t is ridiculous. defeats its own
end by deceivlng nobody, and brings
real unhappiness with it.

Don't Waste Your
Sunflower Seeds

If only people knew how useful sun
flower seeds really are. they'd never
waste them.
Why, they're just splendid food for
poultry.
The seeds contain a large quantity or
oil, and in the cold weather many
poultry keeper would be glad to buy up
all the sunhower seed he could get for
his poultry. Even the stalks and leaves
and husks Of the seeds make good fodder
for pigs.
People don't seem to recognize that sun
flower seeds are of any edible use at all.
But in some parts of Europe a food for
infants Is made from them.
A good sunfower head often measures
Is inches across. and will hold as much
as two pounds of seeds. And a bushel
OF seed will yield gallon of oil.

thrift and honesty iand develops

A true-to-life story like this shows most
forcefully the necessity OF giving a girl
certain sum of money, even II II is
only 30 or Is cents a week. The regularity
OF an allowance teaches the girl TO be
saving and prOvident and gives her an
individual stamina which might be abso-
lutely and painfully lacking in any other
circumstances.

A POEM

Riches we wish to get,
Yet remain spendthrfts stlll. a.
We would have health and yet -
Still use our bodies Ill.
We do not what we ought,
What we ought not we do;
And lean upon the thought
That chance will bring us through.
What were the wise mans plan,
Through this sharp toil-set life?
To work as best he can
And win what's won by strife.

Since the election there has been
considerable discussion, both in court,
before county commissioners and
among the public in general as to
what constitutes an invalid ballot.
In White Pine county there has been
a great deal OF talk that hundreds of
ballots will be thrown out because
the voter marked his preferences with
lead pencil, and in other counties
there promise to appear difficulties
OF a similar nature. However, the
