 Spoarts. A new kid moved in the corner house last week looking as if he mite be a good one to get on the baseball teen, on a account of his lawng legs and diffrent things, but wen Captain Reddy Merfy went erround to ask him, he saw him up in the End story window darning stockings, and came rite back and reported unfavor- ably.

before the article was written had
owned or controlled three oil mills
and ~ gins in the county, which VIZ
tually gave them control OF the cot
tonseed business CT the county In
this article it was also stated that:
THE farmers of Hill county, and par
ticularly those in the nelghborhood
of Hilsboro, became convinced that
the mill-controlled gins were leaving
about $50 pounds of lint on the ton
OF seed instead of the usual &c..
If the farmers OF Hill county were
correct in their belief the ratio OF
linters to seed was about one bale for
each four tons Of seed. or very near
the ratio of one bale for 1-3 tons OF
seed reported for last year for the en-
tire state.
Have mill-control!ed gins in local
Instances in the past de-linted the cot
ton farmer for the profit of the con-
trolling mills? An investigation would
reveal the facts and the farmer, the
ginner. and the mill owner all have
right TO have them revealed

10 doubt the sincerity OF the sentie-

that he sells delinting machines ana
gin machinery and it is perfectly nat

Disrissing for the present the idea
that the statistics show any sfoah0

the cotton crop is 100000 bales L.

ROADS TO SOMEWHERE
A New and Interesting Series
By GRACE DARLING

girl in a million starts out with the
fixed idea of being bad, and becoming
what we call in the movies a ''siren"
or vampire" If she did she would
and get som ething out of it except
shame, and tears, and heart-break.
No, the girls who go wrong are
nearly always just girls who are on
their way, but didn't know where they
were going, and at some point they
drifted off of the straight and narrow
way into the primrose path that leads
down to perdition for women. But
they didn't start out with any inten-
ton in the world of going there.
l see lot of these little girls with
too few clothes on and too much paint
on sitting around in the Hobbies of
hotels waiting for men to come along
and pick an acquaintance with them,
and ask them to lunch.
see them drinking cocktails and
smoking cigarets in cafes. 1 see them
dancing with strangers at the tea
dances in giddy restaurants. I see
them joy riding in automobiles. and
skylarking with men who are not in
their class of society, and who are just
amusing themselves with these little
sillies.
These girls start out meaning to do
no harm. They are girls who lead drab,
dun lives at home, and they are tsarv-
L
Just want to have little fun and do
some of the things the rich girls do.
They don't know 1t, but-they are on
their way, and they don't know where
they are going. That's the pity of it.
Another Danger
And there's the girl, the warm
hearted, sympathetic, understanding
girl, who gets herself entangled in an
affair with a married man. He tells
her sad story about a cold and cal
lous wife and a starved heart, and an
unhappy home, and that she's the only
woman who ever really comprehended
his inner nature or answered the long
ings of his soul, and but for her he
would go to perdition, etc.
And she, poor, little rudderless boat,
lets herself be swept out on the sea of
unconventional living on the high tides
or love and passion. She doesn't know
where she's going, but she's on her
way. as is every other girl who gets
into love affairs with men who can't
offer wedding ring along with their
vows and kisses.
So l ask all girls to stop right in
their tracks where they are Let's
take our bearings and try to find out
which way we are going. And If we
are headed the wrong way let's
scramble back as quickly as we can
into the broad highway, for we are all
on our way, and by and by we are
bound to arrive. For every road leads
to somewhere.

Runaway Wife His
Promised Surprise"

Lewistown. Pa, July 2S. - Get
your dinner at the restaurant to-day
honey, and when you return home to-
night 1 will have a surprise for you,"
were the words of Mrs. Steve Damyon
to her husband as he left for work
1t certainly was some surprise when
he returned, ten hours later, to find
a ITO Let" card on the house, the
furniture sold, $3.50 in cash and other
valuables gone, ana his wife and
daughter missing. Later the pair were
traced to the Pennsylvania Railroad
station, where they had purchased
tickets for Chicago.
After arresting fellow-country-
man whom Demyon charged with
alternating his wife's affections, Sheri-
iff Vanzandt left for the Windy City,
where he expects to apprehend and
return with the pair.

Do you remember the song that
we were all singing a year or two ago
in which the refrain was: II don't
know where I'm going, but I'm on my
way?"
often think that song is the life
size portrait of the average girl. She
doesn't know where she's going, but
she's on her way. She doesn't know
what she wants TO be or what she
wants to do. She has no definite goal
In sight, but the days and the years
are going by. She's on her way to
somewhere.
That's why so many girls take the
wrong turn of the road. That's why
so many girls are miserable instead of
happy. That's why so many girls are
failures instead of successes, for al
most every mothers daughter of us
can do anything we like IL we just
concentrate on the one subject and
stick to IL.
But we don't. We are futile. We
plans and specifications. and so It's
no wonder that We so often muddle It..
We're on our way, but we haven't
bought a through ticket to the end of
the Journey We just pay as we go,
because we are always expecting to
get off at the next stopping place. or
turn back, or go in some other direc-
ton.
Take even such a vital matter as
a girls character.
\ Vital Matter
Do you ever stop to think how often
the difference between girl doing
right and wrong is determined by
chance and not by principle? Not one

"a strength with every pound of excess

The use of oil of korein is intended
10 eliminate the need of weakening pur-

IN a natural and wholly harmless way
to gently reduce the excessive accumu-

action of the Korein but is helpful in
preventing a return of the unnatural
