BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

Most young people go off for summer
vacation with the idea that It's success
depends entirely on whether their two
or four weeks include a love affair. A
summer vacation ought to spell rest and
quiet and preparation for the strenuous
winter to follow, instead OF which most
young people long To plunge into tho
violent unrest of a summer filtration.
"Never the time and the place, and
the loved one all together" wrote Brown
ing-but that is not allowed to apply to
summer vacations Girls put up with
men at whom they wouldn't actually
look In the city. Men imagine them
selves wildly enamorded OF girls for no
better reason than that having ian af-
fair" Ia summer seems so obviously the
thing to do.
A few years ago was at a summer
resort at which there were a very aris-
tocratic, ambitious. snobblsh woman and
her daughter. Tho gih was pretty and

uninhabited regions as in human neigh
borhoods, and even more abundant
When Lewis and Clark made their cele-
brated expedition across the Rocky noun
tains and thereby saved the great north
west for tho United States, they found
the mosquitoes so numerous In some of
the river bottoms that the attacks of
these insects almost drove them to de-
spair. Every explorer OF wild countries
has had similar experiences and often
in places where It would seem that the
insects could hardly have had any ex-
tensive practice In the art of blood-suck-
ing. since the hides of Wild animals are
too thick and hairy to be readily pene-
trated by their flexible lances.
II is a singular fact that only the female
mosquito bites" and It has been said
that 'as IL 10 but a very small proportion

blood would not appear to be essential
to their welfare" Perhaps II is like the
taste for olives or sweetmeats or tobacco
all the more Irresistible because It is
the result of cultivation. and involves,
for It's qualification a certain risk, or
the overcoming OF preliminary dislike.
II may be no Joke TO say that the
abundance OF mosquitoes is dependent
upon the sunspot cycle. The proof Is all
the while accommodating that somehow or
other the general character OF the sea-
sons varies with the increase and de-
crease In the number OF spots on the
sun. wetness. dryness and electric state
all vary more or less in accord with the
solar condition, and these things are the
controlling elements in the life of our
globe. SO, in a roundabout way, we might
throw the blame for the mosquito inva-

A lecture which will long be
remembered by those who heard
it was that of Mr.. julius E Berry,
of Bonneville, last Monday even
ing on "Victors and Victims. 1t
is a matter of deep regret that
only a few heard this fine lecture
for those who did not hear it
missed an opportunity that rarely
comes to one. While the audience
was small it was exceedingly. APP
preciative. Mr.. Berry has very
pleasing personality and simply
wins his hearers right at the be-
ginning. While there was a
happy vim of humor running
through the lecture, the message
that he intended to carry was not
lost sight of and he made it sink
deep and coming from such man
as Mr.. Berry it carried greater
weight. 1t was truly an incentive
for living a better life to both
parents and children and such
messages should be brought often
er to us for we are apt to lose
sight of the fact that the old
Mosaic law is just as true to-day
as it was when it was delivered
centuries ago. We can only say
that if you ever have an opportu-
nifty to hear Mr.. Berry seize it

of DIR. and Mrs. J T Walker and
has recently been elected MEM
Der of the school faculty for next

of the most noted southern insti-
tutions of learning and has also
studied at some of the foremost

not have been more worthily be-
slowed and Mississippi could have

LEFT No Address /"

An Indiana publisher goes after
a certain class of deadbeat sub
scribers in 1.-THE following rather
rough but truthful manner:
Every newspaper man in the
country is familiar with the above
sentence which is sent him regu-
larly by postmasters when sub
scribers to newspapers remove
to some other locality and fail to
notify the postmaster Of their new
location.
Every newspaper man gets
beat out of dozens of dollars every
year by that class of fiy-by-night
fellows, That they are dishonest
at the core is self-evident, that
they would steal-if. they had the
opportun!ty-is a reasonable as
surance. For they take the paper
for as long a period as they can
get it without paying for the same
and then, when they remove to
some other locality, they fail to
notify the Office of publication.
This is a species of stealing that is
worse than picking a mans peck
cts.
"The man who goes to a dis
tant state and has his local paper
sent to him month after month,
and year after year, then beats
the subscription. is a dead beat
just several notches lower than a
sheep thief and has about as much
manhood as a NANCY cur dog.

Miss.
The candidates here come up
worse mixed in Alabama than they
do in Mississippi.

cratic, but it is close race when
it comes to a show down; it being
all legitimate we presume it to be
fair.

glad to meet with their friends
and kept up general hand shake
and lively conversation throughout
the day. l was real glad to see
them in such high spirits
The crops are seemingly in good
condition along the State Line at
present and the farmer is in high
hopes of another prolific crop.
The last year crop of corn here
has about become exhausted and
we will have to depend on shipped
corn until more is raised.
