sees you, things will probably come
your way, but some little bird will
be whispering in her ear, "If you &C.
cept his proposal of marriage it will
mean that you have to cook his
meals and wash his clothes and darn
his socks for the rest of your natural
life for your board and room" You
can't blam her IL she hesitates about
taking the job, SO be patient while
she considers the answer she is to
give you. Life will be a burden to
you while you wait, but 1t will have
a good wholesome effect on you and
If you are a manly fellow you will
brace up and bear the pain.
After you have read this, don't say
we never told you anything worth
while, but get new grip on yourself
and go and see your best girl and
let her know that you have reached
conclusions and are not going to wait
for her to propose, which, Of course,
she will not do. Girls, you will be
safe in manifesting more comrade-
ship than usual this year on account
of that extra day in February, and

that you have our permission to
smile at and encourage.
A Kentucky Gentleman
Do you love to hear a conyera-
tionalist who uses GOOD language and
is courteous and dignified in every
expression? One who says, eyes,
sir" and No. sir" and, II will SIR
i shall be delighted, sir" Now
doesn't that remind you of the chiv-
alrous southern gentleman? Well,
there is one in town and has been
for a year. His name is John Sher-
ley Herr, and his mother was sister
to Mrs. Abraham Lincoln. He ID a
graduate OF the Central Law school
OF indianapolis, Indiana, class Of
1914, and had previously attended
the Richmond, Virginia, College Of
Law. He came here year ago, has
since been admitted to practice In
the state and federal courts, and his

when you get to really know him.
On State Highway
Down towards Rich lives Willard
Jackson, a fine fellow of 30 or SO,
IL miles from the county seat, is
said to be- jolly, a good farmer and
highly respected. He gets his mail
on route two.
Supports His Mother
Orlando Jones down at Thomas
supports his widowed mother and
is very loyal. He is about 80 years
old and would have been married
before now only he wanted to make
sure of his mothers welfare first.
That one item ought to be enough to
interest girl in him and she can
find out more about him than we
know at present.
Owns Fine HOss
William Sjostrom, commonly call
ed Bill for short, and the surname
pronounced as il it were spelled
Shoostrum, is hustling farmer, not
too handsome, not too mellow and
persuasive speech, but said to be
good fellow and possessing an am
bition to be well heeled some day.
Doesn't some girl want to join forces
with him? He knows how to raise
beets and hay and make money go
ing and coming, and that is quite an
accomplishment.
Ring the Bishop
Bishop John r. Williams, Of
Thomas, knows a fine bachelor "a
years old, answering to the name
of Neal Williams. We don't know
Neal personally, or il we do we don't
know it. The bishop will tell you all
about him If you just jolly him a |
little on the phone.

grocery. He is fine looking man,
has olive-brown eyes, walks with a
cane and, like any other real Ken
tuckian, responds IL you call him Col
onel. Now lady, If you. are yearning
for the company of southern gentle
man, IL it seems good to hear the
dignifed onversationalist we have
quoted, scrape up an acquaintance
with Col. Herr. If you are club
member you might go and look up
some legal points relative to the new
library or something else the ladies
are interested in. The field Of valid
excuses is as wide as the orbit Of
the moon and surely you can get to
see Col. Herr If you have the will.
A Trombone Player
Henry Hammond is good look
ing fellow, descended from the House
of Hammonds with more or less Of
fame attached to them. Henry has

sen, Blackfoot r. F. D. two, and we
don't know who is the lucky GIRL
He is going to need somebody pretty
soon to help him select window
shades and curtains and lot Of
other things. That sounds funny to
a bachelor, buying something to hang
up at the windows; he just blows out
the light and retires. But getting
back to Neils, he is a stout built
fellow, about middle age, has sweet
disposition and is good man with
stock, especially cows. He succeeds
at whatever he undertakes, and If

stately young man, member of the
Barrier orchestra of Blackfoot and

plays the guitar and sings beauti-
fully. Neither of these young men

AMONG THE
BACHELORS

We have to give another chapter
on the bachelors. People won't let
US quit. What we said last week
in defining bachelor was endorsed
by all the single fellows, apparently,
and our definition of a maiden lady
received the unqualified endorsement
Of the bachelor girls. Some of them
say it was the first time they have
received square deal in print since
they can remember. So many people
fail to appreciate them and make
fun Of them and that never helps
matters.
There is one thing that always
puzzles a bachelor and we want to
tell him about it. He keeps think
ing all the time that the incest and
loveliest women are all married; that
the unmarried girls are either saucy
or shy or cold and distant. The
younger married women are always
nice to him and he is full of appre-
citation and tells himself that If he
could just find an unmarried woman
who Is as chummy and companion
able; who manifests as much of the
spirit OF sweet comradeship as does
the married woman, he would camp
on her trail' till he got her, no mat
ter what else was doubtful.
Here is all there is to that: The
married woman has been wooed and
won and the great question is settled
and everybody accepts 1t SO. II she
is nice to fellow nobody is going
to get the idea that she is encour-
aging him to courtship. She is free
from any such suspicion and there
fore she acts naturally towards him

MUST HAVE BEEN
A "BUM STEER"

T. H. Hopkins, the meat man, lost
a steer thru an accident which hap
pened on the open highway. A buzz
wagon of some sort ran him down
and then escaped. The occupants
were later found out and paid the
cost of the steer. There's no telling
what kind of a car 1t was, but we
are wondering what kind of a steer.

DEMOCRATS ADOPT
PROTECTIVE DUTY

Tuesdays press dispatches from
Washington brought the gratifying
news that the Democratic Senate had
adopted the Republican policy of pro-
lection to sugar, by a vote of 40 to 50.
The ayes included the votes Of four
Democratic Senators, to-wit: Newlands,
Broussard, Ransdell and Lane. The bill
extends the present duty of one cent n
pound on sugar, which was about to
expire by limitation Of the Underwood
tariff law, until May 20, 1920.
The bill is a substitute for the House
free sugar repeal resolution, and must
go back to that body for ratification.
Anticipating a fight there, which will
neeessitate the bill going to confer
ence, Senators Simmons, Stone and
Lodge were named as the Senate con-
ferees.
The brainiest men in the Democratic
party (Which includes neither Presi-
dent Wilson or Col. Bryan are eogni-
cant of the fact that the Underwood
tariff law is q failure, and that had it
not been for levying war taxes at a
time when the United States is at
peace with the world, q bond issue
would have been necessary to save the
National treasury from bankruptcy.
The four Democratic Senators men
toned are to be congratulated on their
courage in outstanding the lash of
the party whip to line them up for a
Measure they considered against the
best interests of their constituents, as
well as the country at large.
