RIGHT TO FULL PARTNERSHIP
Writer Combats Idea That Women
Should BE Locked Upon as Nat
urai Dependents.

A woman's pocketbook, even though
lilies, has it's distinctive limitation.
This fact was brought out in connec-
ton with "self-sacrifice" day for the
benefit of the National Suffrage asso-
citation. Women who work for a lly-
ing and who are economically indie
pendent, give more generously than
do men. Women of wealth and leis-
ure, on the other hand, from whom
naturally most help would be expect
ed. often have little money they can
call their own with which to help the
causes that appeal to them. What
ever may be said of the unmarried
daughter who is treated as a depend
ent in her fathers house, it is a great
Injustice when a married woman is
not looked upon as a full partner
with her husband in all the business
Of lie, but is compelled to occupy the
place of a dependent asking favors
OF her husband. The wife who rears
a family of children and who either
performs or directs the work OF the
household ought to be looked upon as
a full partner with her husband in
everything be does, and be spared
the humiliation of being made to feel
she is dependent upon him for gifts,
sometimes grudgingly bestowed. There
are some husbands, possibly an in
creasing number, who share their in7
comes with their wives, or who con-
slider that all their possessions are
held jointly, but-there are many men

looked upon more as a chattel than g

For Sheriff

Yielding to the renewed So
licitations of his many friends
throughout the county, George
w. Green of Guntown, has de-
cided to enter the race for sheriff
subject to the August primaries.
AS tax assessor of the county,
Mr.. Green established for him
self an enviable record as a pub
lie official. Eight years ago he
was a candidate for sheriff, at
which time he was defeated in
the second primary by a close
margin. 1t has been his ambi
ton all along to serve the people
as sheriff and many friends have
urged him to enter this race. A
good business man, of sound
judgment and practical ideas, he
possesses all the qualifications
necessary to make a good sheriff.
Should he be the choice of the
people in the coming primaries
he would. make the county a
faithful and efficient executive
officer.

Alan shrugged. So he was to be
lured away from New York and Rose
by this transparent trick, was he? No
fear!

Thereafter Mr.. Law proceeded to re-

None the less, there was no telling
when some accident might wing bull

evident that he so decided.

Sarcasm Makes You Unpopular.

What a nice girl Betty would be
il only she weren't so sarcastic" a
woman said the other day. Some girls
seem to think that sarcasm adds to
their charms, but though a man may
be attracted by girl who is quick at
repartee and has always smart an
swer ready, it very often happens
that the sarcastic girl never marries,
simply because men are afraid of that
caustic wit of hers. Somehow or
other there is always the uncomfortr
able feeling at the back of their minds
that, while they laugh at her witty re-
marks about other people, they them
selves may come in for the same treat
ment behind their backs. Brightness
and a keen sense or humor are excel
lent to possess, but when girl uses
the latter to say sharp and unkind
things at another persons expense,
she is on the right road to becoming
unpopular.

Over this Alan wrinkled an incred-

her spirit. He examined it more close

Get Your Share Of Air.

Breathe all the air you can get,
night and day. That's what fresh air
is for. The fearsome legend about the
baleful influence of might air. is only
another of the carefully nursed insani-
tary requests from our ancestors, ac-
cording to Senior Surgeon Banks OF
the United States public health serv-
ice. Whence this superstition arose
may only be surmised. Perhaps II Is
a survival OF the primeval cult of sun
worship, which led the ancients to
classify as evil anything outside the
sphere of solar influence. Our forbears
were wont to caution their offspring to
"be careful about the night air" or
children were ordered to come in
out OF the night air" II is perhaps
fortunate for the children living in
the Arctic circle, where the nights are
six months long, that the Eskimo
mothers do not entertain this crude
notion about night air, else their prog
eny would spend half the year indoors
