Miscellaneous Shower
For Miss Blair

Something out of the ordinary
in the way of showers was the
novel and beautiful miscellaneous
pre-nuptial shower given by the
Misses Caviness to Miss Kathe-
rine Blair, one of Earllngton's
fairest daughters, whose mar
riage to Mr.. Elmer Lechtleiter.
of Louisville, has been announced
for Nov. %.
The lower floor of the Cavi-s
ness home was bright with red
and,white chrysanthemums, these
colors being carried out IN the
other decorations, the place cards
and the refreshments. An en-
trance to the psrlor door pre-
sented the scene of a rocky road
which led to the farthest corner
OF the room with various sign
boards along the way such as
"rocky road to matrimony" too
late to turn back" and others
as appropriate. The honor guest
was made to travel this rocks3
road alone, read all the signs and
pick up rocks on the way. The
end of the road led to an i'm
mense wicker chair draped with
the prevailing colors. The travel
er was then seated and allowed
to examine the rocks which
proved to be, upon breaking, va
rious beautiful and practical
gifts for the bride-to, be, from
just as many givers as there were
guests. After much merriment,
the traveller and all on the way
side repaired to the dining room
where a feast awaited them.

BE CAREFUL
WHAT YOU SAY

In speaking OF another's faults
Pray don't forget your own;
Remember those In homes OF glass
Should seldom throw q stone.
II you have nothing else to do
But talk Of those who sin,
'Tis better to commence ct home,
And from that point begin.
We have no right to Judge q man
Until he's fairly tried;
Should we not like his company
We know the world is wide.
Some may have faults-and who has
not?
The old ss we'll as young;
Perhaps we may, for aught we know
Have fifty to their one.
I'll tell you of better plan,
And hnd It works full we'll
To try my own defects to cure
Before Of others tell.
And though l sometimes hope to be
No worse than some know,
My own shortcomings bid me let
The faults OF others 90.
Then let US all, when we commence
To slander friend and toe,
Think of the harm one word may dc
To those we little know.
Remember, curses sometimes, like
Our chickens, "roost at home,,
Don't speak of others faults until
We hAYe none of our own.

STUDENTS EXAMINED
"CANKER WORM CURE

Tuesday afternoon, owing to the
kindness of e. o. Farrar, the abb
lene nurseryman, the agriculture
and botany classes were given the
opportunity to inspect one of the
sticky bands which now adorn many
of our elm trees. Anyone doubling
the value of this method of prevent
ing the canker worm would surely
be convinced of its effectiveness af-
ter seeing this strip. The band of
tar paper, several feet long and COW
cred with a glue-like preparation,
had recently been removed from an
elm tree and had entrapped many
hundred moths which would have
produced the destructive canker
worm. The tanglefoot seems to be a
"sure cure" for the pest and it is
certainly worth while to make use
of the preventative which can be
obtained at low cost.
The students are always deeply
interested in things of this sort, and
appreciate the interest which Mr..
Farrar manifests by aiding them in
their studies.
